THE California legislature will prob
ably pass an act at the opening Of the
next session providing for the immedi'
ate cremation OF the contents of the leg
~islative waste basket. The failure to dc
this last year is likely to land several
eminent statesmen in the penitentiary.
Evidence furnished by a waste basket
as brought out in the case now on trial
in San Francisco discloses that there
was a pool Of twenty-four senators
formed for the purpose of selling votes
to corporations or individuals interested
in securing legislation. 1t appears that
each senator in the combination re-
ceived $1,000, of which $1,000 came from
the Southern Pacific railroad, $1,000
from insurance companies, $1,000 from
electric roads, $3.50 from county division
lobbyists, and the rest from other
making a total Of $4,000 in the
pool. 1t pays to be a statesman in
California.

ance and the last to ecover it's activity,
1t has also proved true that when prop
erty is held through n bad season with
out depreciation the confidence thus
shown by the holders is q sure forerun-
ner Of a marked advance in prices.
Prominent real estate men in New York
city, where tho market Is undergoing a
stagnation like own, are all prepar-
ing for great activity in the fall. There
has been no retrogression for us even at
the worst phase Of the money market,
and the first change that m will be
an advance. There is every indication
that with the easing of the money mar
ket Investments will seek real estate,
which possesses the most stable OF all
values. The sad experiences OF the in
vestors in Wall street securities in the
past year have taught them a needed
lesson. They have learned the differ
ence between fictitious and real values,
and we may confidently look forward to
a time of activity and prosperity in the
real estate world. Recovery in some
places may be- slow, but the men who
have made investments in solid cities
like ours know that their money is safe,
and will eventually bring them good re-
turns.

THE ERSHIP,

1tis not surprising to learn that the
Hon. William r. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, is coming into prominence as
cadidate for speaker Of the house of rep-
rentatives. Those persons who were so
fortunate as to hear Mr.. Wilson's elo-
quent and scholarly address in Helena a
few months ago were enabled to form a
pretty fair estimate of the ability and
manner of the man. Those who have
had the pleasure of knowing him more
intimately know him to be a statesman
OF high rank, a thorough student of the
times, a broad, liberal-minded, we'll bal
anced man. He approaches more nearly
to Mr.. Carlisle's standard than any of
the gentlemen who have been named
for the speakership, and that is saying a
great deal for any man. The contest
between Mr.. Mills, of Texas, and Mr..
Crisp, of Georgia, has become so sharp
b a a compromise on Mr.. Wilson is not
improbable, and it certainly would not
be- Il public misfortune. While the
preference of many members of the
party would be for a western man, Mr..
Wilson, as Mr.. Cleveland said in a recent
letter, moro nearly represents southern
democratic sentiment as it is understood
by the patriotic democratic sentiment Of
the north.'

REAL ESTATE VALUES.

Perhaps the best indication of ap-
preaching prosperity for the entire
country is furnished by the con
dition of the real estate market. Men
who make their living by buying and
selling real estate may not perhaps take
this view of it, but the fact remains.
Throughout the long period of business
depression and financial disturbance
which we have just undergone values
have been firmly maintained in every
city that has not built beyond the needs
OF its population. This is true OF New
York and it is true of Helena as well.
There has been no shrinking in values.
bargains are hard to find, and only a
few who have gone beyond their depth
and cannot meet approaching payments
are distressed.
Real estate is said to be the first kind
of property to feel a financial disturb

TOPICS OF THE TINE.

The subject that more than any other
now holds the attention of the whole civil
lied world is Russia and the persecution of
the Jews. 80, In England there has been no
recent event of greater industrial impor-
lance thar the demonstration of the com-
plete success of the underground electric
railway, where the air is Iurer than it is
above ground-an achievement that has
solved two problems: the construction of
an electric motor for railway trains and a
system of safe and rapid travel in large
cities. u. =. In South America the subject of
most moment is. of course, the struggle for
popular liberty in Chill. In Norway the
great explorer, Nansen, is making prepare
tions for a novel effort to reach the north
pole by means of a strangely constructed
ship, by which he hopes to make use of the
polar drifts and currents that have hither-
to escaped the attention of the Arctic ex-
plorels. LIN our country the question of
immigration continues to excite attention,
and of especial interest is an argument by
such a man as Gen. Francis A. Walker to
show that our population would have been
as great as it now is without the immigra-
ton of the last fifty years and that the com-
ing of large numbers of immigrants has
lowered our standard of living.
Since The Forum for August treats of
every one Of these subjects it may fairly be
said to cover the most important topics of
the month in the whole world.
The subject of the Russian persecution of
the Jews is just beginning to attract the
attention that will be given to it. The

The Evidence Overwhelminp

Hadji Rustem Tewfk WAS sitting one dav
In his receptionroom in Adrianople, Tur-
key, quietly smoking his pipe. and slipping
a cup Of fragrant Mocha, when a young
neighbor of his entered and asked him to
let him have his donkey for a ride, Tho
old Turk was afraid lest his young friend
should tire out the donkey, but not wishing
to make a direct refusal said that he had
sent the donkey out i'll the morning. just
at that moment a loud and PROLONGED bray
from the stable betrayed the fact that Jack
had not left home that day. 'Oh, Hadji.,

rs HIGHEST AWARDS

From Scientific Societies and Exhibitions prove
the high excellence of the genuine Johann
Hof's Malt Extract, over all limitations which
have been brought before the public.
The genuine article has been popular for
forty years and has a world wide reputa ton as
a Tonic Nutritive, for the Weak and Debilitated
and for mothers while nursing. 1t is of the
greatest value for coughs, colds and pulmonary
troubles, seeplessnesS and nervous disorders.
Petra Santa, the well-known professor Of
Paris, in his work on pulmonary disease, says:
81 regard Johann Hof's Malt Extract Of I'M
nenSe value to the practitioner who wishes to
bring TO his aid preparation which will not
only act as tonic, but as a nutrient as well,
and is less exciting than wine or any other
stimulant."
There is nothing "iust as good" when you
can get the GENUINE article, which must have
the signature of Johann Hoff'' on the neck Of
every bottle. Avoid limitations sold as "Hoff's
Extract"
