THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

Inc unlteQ anu HdTHloulous dGoAoA Va
last nights convention showed that the
democracy OF Helena, true to it's name,
represents the people and is Of the peo-
pie. The widespread popular demand
for John L. Murphy for chief magis-
trate of the city met with a response SO
hearty and SO genuine as to demonstrate
that the convention was alive to the
needs OF the hour and was ready to give
an impulse to the movement for an able,
business-like administration of our city
government. OF Mr.. Murphy's charac-
ter and qualifications for the Office it is
needless to speak to the voters of Hele-
ma. All know him and recognize in him
the very highest type of citizenship,
and to doubt his election is to doubt the
intelligence and sagaclty of the voters OF
the city. He will receive the vote OF
every democrat and the votes of hun
dreds of republicans who are i%ndepend-
emit enough to rise above p%artisanism
and act solely with reference to the
public good. There has been serious
reason for the uneasiness and distrust
over our condition as a municipality
among our business men regardless of
party and in recognizing it the demo
cratic leaders have shown themselves
alive to the signs of the times.
The denomination of Ben Folk for
city treasurer was a matter OF course.
Party usage demanded it and, more
than that, he has been a most popular,
faithful and Industrious officer. Like
Mr.. Murphy, he will receive the votes OF
our business men, republicans and demo-
Gratis, and he thoroughly deserves them.
Terrence O'Donnell is an old-time
resident of Helena who made an excel
lent record as a justice Of the peace
during a long incumbency Of that office
and is in every respect qualified for the
police magistracy.
The convention has done it's work
we'll. Its ticket is strong and clean and
the party goes into the short and sharp
canvass in a shape to commend itself to
the confidence and respect Of the public.

THE PRICE OF MEAT,

Helena Retail Butchers Issue Their Sched-
uie of Prices.
The Butchers association of Helena will
to-day sell meat alta uniform price. The
new price list makes no increase in present
rates, despite the fact that the wholesale
price has gone up $l.50 a hundred during
the past ten days. The design of the asso-
citation is to give the Helena wholesale
butchers the benefit of the custom of all
the retailers, the latter in return sxacting
from the wholesalers the very best meat.
Another feature of the association is to pro-
tect the members against those people who
habitually fail to pay their butcher bill.
Montana beef and mutton will be given the
preference in every case by the association.

me ArchbIshop convicted.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Mgr. Gouthe-Soulard,
archbishop Of AK, has been convicted be-
fore the court Of appeals in Paris for hav-
ing written an insulting letter to M.
Fallieres, minister Of justice and public
worship. Inst month some French pill
grims, who had gone to Rome, were ac-
cused OF having written in the register at
the Pantheon, the tomb Of Victor Emanuel,
give le pape-roin (Hurrah for the pope
king) This provoked a riot in Rome,
and the French pilgrims were maltreated
In the street.
Archbishop Gouthe-soulard protested
against the action Of the Italian govern
ment, and In a published letter accused
Minister Fallieres Of not having done his
duty. NJ. Fallieres thereupon obtained
leave TO prosecute the archbishop for the
insult. At noon the archbishop in his
violet colored robes arrived at the Palais
de Justice surrounded by 800 priests, who
waited for him outside crying, "vivs
PArchevequel'
The president Of the court addressed the
accused as Monsieur though the attor-
ney general gave him his title OF "Mon-
seigneur." The archbishop read very
short defense, saying that he never had
any intention Of insulting the minister.
The attorney general maintained that the
insult was evident. After two and half
hours Of deliberation the court condemned
the archbishop for insult and outrage to q
fine Of 5000 francs. This is the first time
that French prelate has ever been con-
demned for an offense OF this kind. The
proceedings prove that, unfortunately, the
religious struggle between church and
state has not yet come to an end.
