covery, by the republicans, OF their own.
Furthermore, the fat will be fried out OF
the beneficiaries OF his law and lavishly
placed where it will do his bad the
most good. The last general election
afforded indubitable evidence that the
masses of the people do not believe that
the way to enrich the country is to tax
the poor for the benefit OF the monopo-
lists. TO counteract that overwhelming
popular Reputation the monopolists will
employ all means and money to elect
Mckinley and proclaim that achieve
ment as an endorsement Of high protec-
ton. They may succeed in c%orrupting
the normal vote of Ohio into sticking to
the party ticket, thereby electing the
apostle of taxation, but it will by no
means be an indication that the tide of
popular disapproval of the Mckinley
law is ebbing.

W%AsHBURNE, republican mayor Of
Chicago by the grace of Carter Harri-
son, announced with a great flourish of
trumpets that he had suppressed gam
bling in the Worlds fair city, and his
lynx-eyed policeman vowed they could
not find the lair of a single tiger in all
the jungles Of wickedness of that city.
An enterprising reporter, not affected
with strabismus caused by the sheen of
silver or glimmer of gold, walked around
two or three blocks and found forty
faro games running in open violation of
the law Of the city, the proclamation of
the mayor, and the lo~ud-sounding order
of the chief of police. The %vociferous
pretenses of another sham reformer are
scattered. Mr.. Washburne must now
rest his claim to fame upon the fact that
he smokes cigarettes.

AN advance copy Of the souvenir num-
Der of the Helena journal was received
at this office last night. The paper has
been u%navoidably delayed by annoying
circumstances ove which the publishers
had no control, but in which they were
not at fault. A hasty examination dis
closes the fact that the souvenir con-
tains an immense amount of reading
matter pertaining to Montana indus
tries, cities and citizens, collected with
great care and edited by competent
newspaper me The mechanical execu-
ton will compare very favorably with
other publications of like nature. The
souvenir Journal will supplement the
excellent publications lately issued to
set forth the resources and prosperity of
Montana.

Mr.. Francis MURPHY, now resting,
in this city, from his long and effective
service in the cause Of Humanity, is a man
whose name and good work are known
the world over. Endowed by nature
with the gift of eloquence, he has made of
himself a master orator, and his upright
life has added to the effectiveness of
his precepts. His labors are ably sup
plemented by those of Mrs. Murphy.
Together they have materially lessened
the sum total of human misery, and
have added much to the sum total of
human happiness. Thousands to-day
bless the name of Francis Murphy.
Greater reward than this can no man
ask of earth.

George T. Cope, assistant cashier of the
American National bank, is one CT the old
timers in Montana who possesses a good
memory and q fund of excellent stories. A
discussion yesterday as to whether a July
such as the present one had ever before
been experienced in Montana recalled an
experience he had the first year he came to
this country. On the Sd of July, 1864, there
was g stampede from Virginia City and
Cope, whose hair at that time was not
SO gray and his step more elastic
than o joined the party. After
a number Of days of rough travel the men,
bers found themselves in what isnow Idaho,
but the expected rich find had not mate
rallied. The weather was bad, there were
no roads, and the grub was entirely out.
After suffering from hunger for a day or so
a colony of gophers was encountered. Cope
was hungry and he proposed that a meal be
made off the little fellows. The idea was
seconded, a number were killed, a fire
built, and in a little while all the party
were partaking of plain gopher stew. There
was great unanimity in the opinion that
gopher was a pretty good dish after all.
CATER a smoke" continues the cashier,

gone half a mile when a fine young deer
sprang out of the woods and was brought

endeavored to eat another meal, but we
had all INDUCED too freely previously.
Don't you know all the bows were angry
with me because l had prepared the gopher
luncheon?"

The lack of thought displayed by some
people in addressing letters is a favorite
theme with the postoffice clerks. But a
letter came to Helena the other day which
scores one on the employees of Uncle Sam.
The recipient is a bashful bachelor, and for
reason the name is changed. The
chirography was as plain as could be and
this is what it said:

Mrs. G. w. JONES,

Helena. Arkansas.
1t had passed through the hands of all
the postal clerks, was delivered at the Hell
ena mans place of business, and he opened
it without looking at the address. 1t has
been forwarded to Arkansas.
But for one mistake on the part of the
postot1ice, there are thousands the fault
of the public. There is a st. Louis
in tins county as well as one in
Missoula. Postmaster Rich, of the Mon
tana office, is thinking of asking for an in
crease Of pay, owing to the large amount of
mlsdirected mail he handles. There is
scarcely a day he does not find a letter sent
by some business house, directed st. Lonis.
Montana, which is intended for Missouri.
Hundreds of letters intended for Helena.
Idaho, are made to read Helena, Montana.
and so it goes all through the list. The pe,
culiar thing about it is that nine-tenths of
the misdirected letters are sent by mer-
chants and professional men, who know
better, but are careless.

Mr.. Harrison.

Mr.. HARRIsoR'e speeches at Roanoke,
Bristol, johnson City, and Jonesborough
on Tuesday, published by us yesterday,
were delivered under circumstances which
will lead many persons to regard them as
bids for the presidency. They read so we'll
that the public will be almost certain to
suppose that they were written out in ad-
vance, and intended to be addressed to all
the people of the United States. As our
headline expressed 1t, "Mr. HARRISON
waxed eloquent" in speaking of Virginia
90 eloquent that we are tempted to credit
him with having been raised by his envi-
ronments to higher plane than he gene
rally occupies. and thus led into an elo-
Quenee unusual with him. However, we
need not look into his extemporaneous at
terances for Mr.. HARRIsoS's views on the
important public questions which viii
divide the two great parties next year. his
latter to the Western States Commercial
Congress, written deliberately and in the
sanctity OF his private ONCE in Washing
ton, tells both tho story of his ambition
and the means by the use of which ne
hopes 10 crafty that ambition. II also
tells Us what Mr.. HARRISON expects TO be
the issues involved in the next presidential
sampaign. Let us dissect that letter.
First, Mr.. HAkRIsox argues the tariff
question, but not with much force. He
comes very near to saying that England
sud the United States (for example) could
both make money by taxing each others
products at the cGstom-houses But in his
speeoh at johnson City he utterly knocked
the lie out Of that proposition by de-
elAring that the unexampled prosperity of
Eastern Tennesses--her furnaces and CON-
mcscial centres--wsre due TO the fact that
VA have no line Of division between the
States. Surely thu same good results would
follow the abolition of lines Of division
between Us and other nations. In fact il
would be absurd 10 claim that protective
tarin between the United States and Cana
da beneGts both countries as long as they
constitute two countries, but would in
5ure both countries II they were TO become
enc. The laws OF trade cannot thus be
construed.
Mr.. HaEn1sos argues that inasmuch as
the farmers sometimes say that wheat is
too cheap. they must admit that coat
may be zoo cheap. Now either this Ian.
guage bss no meaning at al or else II
paeans that farmer and clothior could
beth make money by each charging the
other double price fog what be has 10 sell.
