As We 20 to press this morning the
result of the election in this state is

from Helena sums up the situation to
the effect that victory Is claimed 10y

dispatches published elsewhere in this

about 100 majority. These reports are
confessedly meagre aud relate Il lso-

towns or cities having been heard

street late last night To the effect
that Dixon had carr ed Anaconda by
some 100 majority and that Lewis and
Clarke county had given Carter about
800 majority. Neither Of these reports
was beyond expectation. but they were
not confirmed. With the exception OF
Lewis and Clarke NJ above, all of the
republican strongholds are to be heard
from and IL 1t is not at all improbable
that Mr.. Carter may gain his election

HARMONY IN NEW YORK.

There has been tremulous solcitude
In Republican circles over the seeming
division of the Democrats in the state
of New York. They have drawn san
culinary pictures of the collision of
those who would have CLEVELAND or
Hill for the presidential candidate in
1892. 1t has seemed to them that there
must be such discord between these
elements that the state would be thrown
10 the Republicans. They have been
quite sure that Gov. HILL would throw
away brilliant chance by going to the
l nlted States senate and hushng any
buzzing of the little bee for the
time. Yet the most recent adj
vices from that quarter are that
Gov. HILL Will either be a can
didate for the senate himself or
name the man, and not enter the
broader arena for the present, at least.
In view of the districting iii that slate,
1t was remarkable achievement to Sc
cure majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. The credit for this is due
III large measure to Gov. HILL. He
believed that it could be done, and gave
that feature of the canvass his particu-
lar attention. His abilities are well
fitted to the senate, and the indications
now are that he will go there and not
be in the way of united delegation
from that state for Mr.. CLEVELAND, if
he shall be among the presidential can
didates in the next election. This will
involve some disregard of the judgment
and sensibilities of many Republicans,
but Is asserted by apparently reliable
authority.

WOULD BOYCOTT.

CLARKsoN's Iowa paper wants all Re-
publicans in that state to boycott the
Chicago Tribune. Speaking of the Re
publican loss in Ohio, it says the Trib-
une'S ''idiotic advocacy Of free trade is
more largely responsible for tn at loss
than all other things combined" The
Tribune supported the party ticket, but
opposed the MCKINLEY bill. The Trlb-
une and the lesser Republican sheets
that followed it are all deserving credit
for their good work, but Mr. BLAINE
helped the Democrats quite as much by
his pointed declarations that the farmers
were not in the list of beneficiarieS of
the MCKINLEY tariff. The Republican
leaders realize this, and would be glad
to den0unce him and his reciprocity fad
if they could afford to. In place of this,
they will be obliged to stultify them
selves by praising and following him.

THE MUTUAL BLESSING.

If Secretary NOBLE is to be taken

be far from the platform of the Alliance

tue individuals with a good bank ac-

for universal abundance would seem to
be to put everybody OH beneficiary
roll, to be fattened by, the government.

the mission OF the pension bureau has
reached wonderful proportions" hay-
ing sent into the channels OF trade and
commerce more than S10O,OJO.000 the
past year" In this way it has ''trans-
ferred at most opportune moments the
accumulated treasures of the govern
ment to the hands of the people,
blessing him that gives and him that
takes" The happy fact that the diffu
sion of vast sums by the government is
blessing to the giver as we'll as the re-
ciplent suggests that such blessings
should be expanded indie tiniteiy. All
the people who have not otherwise been
sufficiently blessed in store should be
afforded an opportunity to enlarge the
blessing of the government by accept
ing Il share in it. There is happily,
however, promise of the continued
growth of this mutual blessing for a
considerable period, as the pension list
has vast expansive possibilities. There
are only 537.944 now on the pension
rolls, and there are S92,221 claims not
acted upon; and the commissioner esti-
mates that there are l, PIG, OS9 surviving

GOOD ANIMAL STORIES.

George StearneS, farmer from Walk
er county, Alabama, owns large black
cat which kills every snake and lizard it
can find. The other day he saw the ca
creeping through the grass toward some
kind of prey and watched it. A few feet
away he discovered large rattle snake
coiled ready to strike, and its bead-like
eyes fixed on those of the cat. The head
OF the snake was making the peculiar
sWaying motion which is a part of the
charm that brings birds and rabbits
willing victims to the mouth of the hid
eouS reptile: Stearnes says he saw at a
glance the snake was trying to charm
the cat, and, as he was not much at
tached to the feline. he stood still to
await results. With its body close to
the ground and its tail sawying back
and forth, the cat continued to
creep slowly forward. Its eyes
were fixed on those of the snake.
as though the two were testing
their powers of mesmeriSni Slowly
and cautiously the cat crept closer to
the coiled reptile. and it really seemed
for while that it had fallen victim to
the charming powers of the RATHER.
When within four feet of the snake the
cat stopped, placed its feet in position
for spring and remained motionleSS
for an instant. The snake seemed sur
prlsed. and changed its position slight
ly. This was the opportunity the cat
was waiting for. Quick as lightning
the feline leaped and caught the snake
by the neck with teeth and claws. and.
after rolling over and over on the
ground for two minutes, the snake was
dead. The cat did not release its hold
until long after the snake ceased to
move, and then. as it walked away,
would occasionally look back to see if
there was any suspicious movement.
Stearns says it was the most fascinating
sight he ever saw. the cat creeping up
to the snake, which, no doubt, thought
it had secured a good dinner by the
charm of its eve.

A Dog Saves Kittens, Lives

Turk and TrickSy are valued men,

former is big Newfoundland dog and
IrlckSy cat, the two are fast friends
and manifest a sort of Damon and
Pythias affection for each other. A
few weeks ago Tricksy became the
proud mother OF three promising kit
tens. and Turk, permitted as special
favor to inspect them. behaved quite
like bachelor uncle who has weak
ness for children. But the mistress of
the house did not share in the rejoicing,
and Sternly decreed the death by drown
ing of all three of the kittens, who were
accordingly delivered over for execution
to a small negro boy employed on the
place. TrickSy, Suspecting mischief,
accompanied her Squalling offspring to
the scene of the tragedy, small duck
pond close to the house, where
the boy. taking them from the
basket III which he had car
ried them. threw them one by one into
the water. Poor Tricksy seeing the
first one hurled out into the watery
deep, screamed in anguish, and made IL
move as If she would have rushed in
after her kitten, but seeking Turk walk
ing near by with his master. ran to him
crying piteously. She must have made
him understand the trouble, for he ran
to the pond and plunged
in at once. The first kitten had by
this time persisted, but the second had
barely struck the water before Turk
had it in its mouth. and was wading in
with it held high, when the third was
thrown. With good deal of dexterity
he managed to seize both of them, and
made his way to terra firma, where the
mother relieved him of his burden.
