CALL THE RASCALS DOWN.

The same gang of political despera-
does who stole the state last year began
operations yesterday in this city toward
stealing votes from Dixon and
from Democratic senators-elect. The
plot was promptly discovered and
the scoundrels are now Swallowed at
every turn. 1t is not yet known how
far they will push their scheme, but
they will not go much further before
they land in the clutches OF the law.
The state is safe for Dixon by sub
stantial majority. A majority of the
state senators elected on Tuesday are
democrats and they will stay elected,
too.
All talk about contrary result, all
claims of majority for Carter, are
made for effect to conceal raid upon
the ballot box. This work is to be done
in Cascade and one or two
other counties where there are
republican canvassing boards, if
plant tools like Hall and Jack
can be found. We do not believe that
another pair Of men can be found in
Montana to stand in the public pillory
with the two notorious returning board
agents of Silver Bow. The majorities
are too large and too firm, public senti-
ment is too strongly aroused, to permit
any holding back Of news, any Juggling
with figures, any eliminations Of re-
turns. The day for that sort Of bust
ness has gone in Montana, and gone for
ever. ...
The election of William Writ Dixon
marks the doom of state stealing IN
Montana for all time.

The latest revised returns from the
various counties in the state make little
change in Dixon's majority as given in
The INDEPENDENT yesterday. Scatter
ing returns from remote precincts all
show the same drift--republican losses
and democratic gains. Fergus, Beaver
head and Madison counties will not
have their complete returns in before
to-day, but there is no possibility that
the figures will SO far vary from first es.
Inmates as to materially change the to-
tails. All the claims of a possible major
ity for Carter are baseless and will de-
ceive nobody but those who allow party
feeling to blind them to the facts.

THE gallant democrats of Lewis and
Clarke are entitled to great credit for
the splendid victory IN this county. The

the republicans, but delightful sur

Dudley DuBose, was brilliantly co..,

not the faintest conception of the sur
prise in store for them. The election
has fully demonstrated that Lewis and
Clarke county can be wrested from re-
publican hopes and placed in the demo-
cratic column to stay.

WITH A WILL,

In her vindication and assertion of
the principles OF democracy, Montana,
we are proud to say, does not stand
alone. From the great majority of con-
tested elections comes the glad news of
democratic triumphs, and the tide of
victory sweeps along with ever increas-
ing force. The next national house of
representatives will be dominated,
it is safe to say, by dem
ocratic majority, ranging from seventy
to one hundred. Such rebuke has
never, in the history Of our country,
been SO we'll deserved and SO thoroughly
administered. Mr.. HARRISON and his ad-
ministration stand discredited in the
eyes Of the United States. The intelli-
gence of the voters has repudiated his
measures, negatived his policy, and
taken from him the power of working
further harm to the interests OF the
people of this country. Under the
changed condition of things, Benjamin
Harrison can no longer pander to the
Ubiquitous designs of moneyed class. in
the hope Of securing from it the funds
requisite to secure his own renomina-
ton and the possibility Of success for
the republican party in 1892 The peo-
pie have risen in their might and shaken
off the dreary nightmare of the dead
weight policy that was threatening to
stitie them. IT the president and his
party should attempt, by means of an
extra session OF congress, to pass their
force bill against the sense and ex-
pressed verdict Of this great country, he
and it will simply plant another nail in
the coffin of republican hopes. He and
they have had their warning. 1t has
been clearly expressed at the polls. II
they disregard it, they disregard it at
their peril.
The popular vote is the expression OF
popular dissatisfaction. The reasons
for it are not hard to seek. They are
not to be found in republican apathy.
Republicans and democrats have joined
hands to rebuke the policy of the party
in power. Republicans, in many in
stances, have risen superior to the party
call. They have fully appreciated the
want of wisdom and equity displayed by
the present administration, and have
acted in accordance with their convic.
tions. The two great efforts Of the re-
publican party were both tarred with
the same brush. They were pernicious
examples Of class legislation. The silver
bill was passed in the interests of Wal
street tinanciers, and against the openly
expressed wishes Of the silver-producing
states. The tariff tax was tribute tc
the moneybags OF eastern manufacture
ers, and glazing wrong to every wage

The Silcott Investigation Vote

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-In the House
after personal explanation by Hit, of
Illinois, as to his relations toward the oleo-
margarine tax, he having been charged by
the National Butter and Egg association
with attempting to get it revoked. the
House resumed the consideration of the
report of the special committee to investi-
gate the Silcott defalcation.
Stewart, of Vermont, argued in favor of
the majority report for an appropriation to
reimburse the members for their lost sala-
rieS.
Oates, of Alabama; Catching, of Missis-
S ppi; and Payson, of Illinois, also sup
ported the majority report.
Herbert favored Hen ILLS proposition
to refer the mat er to the court of claims.
Mcttae did not believe the House should
disgrace itself by making the appropria
ton.
Wllze, of Illinois, favored the reference
| OF the whole matter to the judiciary for
! judicial examination.
| a vote was then taken on Hemph1lrs
bill, as q substitute for the majority bill
permitting me nbers to sue in the court of
claims. 1t was defeated, yeas, 1876, nays.

Emperor Williams Speecb.

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-The Emperor in his
speech opening the Prussian diet today,
expressed profound sorrow for the death
of Dowager Empress Augusta.
The finances of Prussia, the Emperor
said, are in favorable condition. Although
the revenue for the next few fiscal years
is not expected to equal that of 1889, ex-
penses will not be decreased. The matric-
ular contributions for 1891 will be largely
increased. A bill providing for reform in
taxation will be submitted. a bill will
also be submitted providing for AN extern
sion of the state railway network.
The harvest of 1889 was deficient. but
owing to the imperial customs arrange
ments regarding agriculture, it is hoped
that the effects of the shortage will be
overcome without permanent prejudice
The recent strikes, the Emperor said,
had clouded the prospects of trade, but he
was rejoiced that the employees had re-
moved the workingmen's grievances and
hoped the strikes would not recur. The
Emperor expressed the belief that the art
isan class would constantly become more
satisfied with their position

Republicanism in Portugal.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatcb1
PARIS, Jan. 15-[By cable to the N. Y.
World. IA Portuguese gentleman holding
diplomatic position here, hut a strong
Republican, has received a letter from
Lisbon, written before the crises now pre-
vailing there, which throws light On the
events which led to it. The writer saws
that Republicans of all shades of opinion
recently held meeting at which a reso
luton was unanimously adopted declaring
that not one OF Portugal's rights or .erri-
Tory In Africa should be conceded to Eng
land. A petition was drawn up and Dre-
sented to King Carlos urging him to main
tain firm attitude and informing him
That union had been effected throughout
the kingdom between the Republicans and
Monarcnlsts to oppose any agreement with
England that would compromise the inter
ests and honor Portugal
Reply was made in behalf of the KING
That Portugal was not in position to 90
Waa vita England, and that it would be
Detter to make peaceful settlement, even
though concession was made, so long as
honor was maintained. This brought forth
an answer from the Republicans warning
the King that any concession whatever
would be fatal to the monarchy. The King
not hasten his downfall by an act that
would disgrace him before the nation.
The writer of the letter states that the
Republican party was never stronger in
Portugal than 1t is now. 1t has ninety
seven associations, containing in all 5000
active members. Among it's distinguished
members are Latino Coelbo, secretary of
the academy of sciences and member of the
cortes for Lisbon; Rodriguez Foritas.

SENIOR Braga, member of the munich
pal council of Lisbon; Senior Lima,
director OF seculo; Eliaz Garcial,
professor at the military schools;
DR.. Arrlaga, formerly member of the cortes
for Madeira, and Senior Penheiro. late
member for Lisbon. All these gentlemen
were once supporters of the monarchy.
Senior Braga is powerful orator, and his
eioquence is making converts to the cause
which he has published more than twenty
since his conversion, have great influence
upon the minds of young men,
Inc Republican party is divided into four
groups: Natlonalists, Radicals, Federal
lists and Socialists. The lines of demarca-
ton between these groups are not strictly
drawn. The Giversities lap over into each
other, and In case of great emergency a
party can easily become one. The Federal
ISIS adVo cate the union of Portugal and
Spain and the formation of one Siberian
republic embracing the entire peninsula.
Other groups belonging to the positivist
school are allied with the Positivists
OF Brazil. The Republicans of Portugal
are more numerous in the provinces
than IN the cities, but are fast
increasing in number in Lisbon,

EVILS OF SOCIETY.
A Canadian Divine DenOunces the
Drama Roundly.
NEGROES DISCUSS NEGRO RIGHTS,
Some Pretty Strong Talk is INDUCED iD--The
Speech of Emperor William to
The Prussian Diet.

MONTREAL, JAN 15.-Society in this city
and at Ottawa has been turned inside out
by sensational speech delivered before
the White Cross society by Rev. DIR. Doug
las, president of the Wesleyan Methodist
college. 1t was the most sweeping denun-
ciatory and arraignment of the social lead
ers and public officials ever heard in
Canada. There were many ladies in
the audience After comparing Montreal
with London as described by the Pal Mall
Gazette, he denounced the modern drama,
referring particularly to "Camille," the
representation of whose character he
scored numerically, asking why the life
and death of an utterly abandoned woman
should be portrayed before decent people.
Speaking of the horrible death scene
esses draw forth their perfumed
handkerchlefs and wipe their weeping eyes
over to this burlesque of grim death. But
these same duchesses have no compassion,
no tears for the scores of Camilles that
languish IN the city hospitals. 1t is time
that some one should lift up their voice in
our city against the influence of our modern
stage.
Il impeach the booksellers and news
vendors as at war with virtue. Look at
the sons and daughters of most of the
Christian families. What company do
they keep: In the retirement of their own
room in the silence of the midnight hour
they companionate with vagabonds and
prohigates and outcaStS, creations these of
the Braddons, Ouidas and Swinburnes.
All the products of the foulest minds of
our age. l impeach the moral sense
| of our city for its criminal Indifference to
the character of its public men. This city
has elected men from whose homes virtue
has fled; men who have sought to.introduce
Ottoman Seraglio into our counry; men
whose lives are perpetual defiance of the
seventh canon of the decaloguen
DIR. Douglas went on to say that many
members of parliament are men at the very
mention of whose names virtue bushes
and modesty hides her head, and their re
cord is pestilential. He wound up with
most scathing denunciation of the society
men who prey upon virtue
