The Anaconda Rerien is for Carter
and its opinion regarding the congress
man is generously shared by the e
ing organ i'm Butte. With these two
republican powers in array for the
Helena man, who are they that be
against him? If the west side republic
can press can force il, another congress
sional nomination will go to the east
side. That's where all the available
republican timber appears to grow.
For that matter. Carter can have the
nomination of his party il he wants 1t,
and the STANDARD is living In prayer
full hope that he will demand IL. Then
the republican west-side papers will be
for him-nolens rolens. y. B. The
reader will observe that the little bit of
latin attached To Mr.. Carter in this
paragraph is used not chiefly rs a rec
IGNITION of the classic attainments of
the republican tribune of the people
who lives in Helena. Rather, it is sug-
gested by the explanatory latin in
whichthe gifted Inter Mountain broke
forth yesterday afternoon. IL must be
distinctly understood that, when IL
comes to flashing latin phrases into the
face of the indulgent public, this news
paper will not permit itself to he out
done by any presumptuous linguist in
Main street, Butte city-not, at any
rate, as long as we can find a lot of
familiar latin quotations in the appen-
dix to Webster's dictionary. But il
the Reriehc should tackle the classics
that's quite another thing.

cling element are institutions fOstered
by republican legislation. Every ten
dency of the West must be toward
democracy, IL the democratic leaders
will devote themselves to fostering
genuine democratic principles instead
Of wasting their time in catering to the
high and mighty autOcrats of the En-
pire State, who will sell out a party as
quickly as an Italian bravo will cut a
throat, and with no more cOmpunctions
of conscience.
Already i'm New York the old game
is being played. The republicans have
investigated democratic ofiice-holders
In New York city and discovered dem
ocratic malfeasance and misdoing. Al
ready the word Is passing around that
the Investigations are TO cease, not be-
cause they are completed, but because
the democratic local leaders have been
scared into submission and a bargain.
There will be a democratic smash-up
In New York city this fall, then a re-
organization with some hall or other
on top, the republicans will grab what
they can in the melee, hold on to ii I'M
til 1892 and then peddle it out in ex-
change for votes for the national ticket.
Thus, il things go on as usual, the re-
turns will show the same old story
democracy triumphant in state and
city; democracy badly whipped in the
nation. Conspiracy, corruption and
compromise is the watchwOrd Of every
presidential election day in New York.
Let the democracy look to the West
for future power. Montana sets an
example which other states, new and
old, will follow once the party cuts
loose from New York and its consci-
enceless manipulators.

Why Not Have Both.

From the Spokane Falls Review.
As q nation we pride ourselves upon
our love for peace, and yet when Senator
Blair suggested, instead of n naval review
in connection with the worlds fair, an ex-
hibition of the public schools and n parade
of school children, TO be reviewed by the
president of the United States the senate
sits down upon him. II would seem that
the savage love of warfare, the passion
for the pomp and circumstance of war,
have still a strong hold upon the Ameri-
can people. We don't know but what
Senator Blair's idea would be the better
after all. A grand parade of patriotic
little Americans, waving flags and sing
ing national airs, would assuredly have
greater weight than n fourth-rate naval
display.

MEMORY IN INFANCY.
Frequently 1T Lies Dormant for a Lon

Frequently 1t Lies Dormant for a Long
Space of Time.
A curious instance of this took place
in our family. My mother went on
visit to my grandfather, who lived in
London. She took with her little
brother of mine, who was eleven months
as her maid. One day this nurse
brought the baby boy into my mothers
room and put him on the floor, which
was carpeted all over. There he crept
about and amused himself according to
his light. When my mother was
dressed certain ring that she generally
wore was not to be found. Great search
was made, but it was never produced,
and, the visit over, they all went away
and it was almost forgotten.
Exactly year after they again went
to visit the grandfather. This baby was
now year and eleven months old The
same nurse took him into the same
room, and my mother saw him, after
looking about him, deliberately walk
up to certain corner, turn bit of the
carpet back and produce the ring. He
never gave any account of the matter,
nor did he, so far as 1 know, remember
it afterward. It seems most likely
that he found the ring on the floor and
hid it, as in safe place, under corner
of the Brussels carpet where it was
not nailed. He probably forgot all
about it till he saw the place again, and
he was far too infantile at the time it
was missed to understand what the talk
that went on was about or to know what
the search, which, perhaps, he did not
notice. was for -

MEN OF MANY YEARS.
The Frequency of Old People in All Par
of the World

The Frequency of Old People in All Parts
of the World
Michael Soils, who lives in San Sal
gador in the republic of Bogota, is said
to be 1856 years of age, and is apparently
in the full vigor of all his powers. He has
never taken any unusual precaution
with his health, is not vegetarian or
seetotaler, and has always been a
hard worker. Peter Barlow died in
Damariscotta, three years ago at the
age of 1876. He served under George
Washington in the revolutionary war.
There is a negro living in Lynn, Mass,
who has recently been on public exhi-
bition, who claims to be over $50 years
of age.
People over 100 years of age, in the
now possible, are frequently heard of in
various portions of the world. Centena-
rians are by no means the curiosities
they were few generations ago. Seth
Perkins, who recently died in Norwich,
Conn, was president of railroad at 1O0
Chevreul, the French scholar, recently
lied over 100 years of age.
Probably every State in the Union
contains its centenarian, and some of
them perhaps several. People over
ninety years of age are by no means a
curiosity. The late Emperor William
of Germany was nearly ninety-two at
the time of his death. Simon Cameron
was over ninety, and so was the late Dr.
Dollinger, the theologian. Our histo-
rian Bancroft is over ninety, and so is
Cardinal Newman and Marshal Won
Moltke.
If so many eminent men can be found
who have lived to an advanced age, it is
reasonable to infer that there are a
large number among the more obscure
classes. An English writer on longevity
maintains that genius is inimieal to old
age; but this hardly seems borne out by
the facts. Carlyle died at "a; Bryant at
50; Prof. Sir Richard Owen is still alive
1t Sc; John G. Whittier at 50; Robert
c. Winthrop at 81; William E. Glad
stone, Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Alfred Tennyson at so. The throes and
frenzy of genius do not, it seems, always
prove destructive to longevity.
All classes and conditions of men are
liable to attain old age, though there
can be no doubt that some occupations
are more destruC tive of health and,
hence of long life, than others.-Yankee

LAURA BRIDGMAN'S BRAIN.
1t Differs But Little from the Brains of
Ordinary Women.


For months past DR.. Donaldson, of
Clark University, Worcester. has been
engaged in studying the brain of the
late Laura Bridgman, the deaf, dumb
and blind pupil of DR.. Howe, who
learned to read and write and con-
verse intelligently, in spite of her nat
ral defects.
DR.. Donaldson is now preparing an
exhaustive report upon the results of
his investigations, which he will read
before several learned societies, and
later on publish in the scientific jour-
nails. The examination has been
the most thorough ever under
taken by any medical expert,
and though the results obtained
have not been conclusive, they will
go far toward substantiating several
theories which medical experts have
advanced about the functions of the
brain as an organ of thought, as we'll as
placing several new nd startling theo-
ries before the world.
Though the facts are not ready to be
made public, yet it is said that the brain

hold much that must be of lasting in

a brain capable of thought.-Boston

narrow river An, covered with reeds,
which turns the Princes saw-mills.
The house lies to the right of the line,
but is hidden from the rain by high,
red brick wall which also borders the
main road, while the river and hedges
close in the two remainingS sides.
Originally Freidrichsruhe was a hunt
ing lodge, built in 1868 by Count Fred
erick of Lippe-Sternburg, and later il
became an inn, called Frascati, where
the Hamburgers focked for picnics on
holidays. When William /. presented
the estate to his Minister, Prince Bis
marck added to the house, but kept the
main building intact. It is a two
storied edifice, painted light yellow,
the Princes apartment being on the
ground floor, while the rooms up stairs
are occupied by the Princess and the
Countess Rantzau. the Prince and
Princess only daughter, with her three
little boys. Handsome shrubs and fine
pine tree are planted in the front of the
house, the river Au running at the foot
of the grounds and forming til y water

head forester of the Sachsenwald, who
is mayor of the village and the manager
of Schwarzenbeck-a another of Prince
Bismarck's small properties which lie
close by, like the farms an pastures of
Silk and Schonhausen. The Prince en-

cattle thrive in t. e meadows or whether
the wood-cutting season has been profit
able. Princess Bismarck would often
say at the Parliamentary receptions:
my HUSBAND takes more real interest
in turnip than in all your politics"
and the Prince has now the opportunity
of proving the truth of this wifely crit.
