Possibly that British statistician who
declared that the consumption OF iron
wa the best test Of the civilization OF
great nation, didn't imagine that In 1891
the average consumption OF iron in the
United states would be about 50 pounds
more per inhabitant than In Great
Britain. Such Is the situation after ~
years Of protection In this country and
free trade In England. la 1861 the Brit
ish consumption Of iron was three times

THE l.

Only three more days viii intervene
before the legislative assembly will
convene and the perplexities Of last
winters deadlock will again be upon us.
1t is a serious and most unfortunate sit
u~atlon, viewed from either party stand
point, and one to whose happy adjust
ment men of both parties should give
their best thought and most patriotic
endeavor. Near the close Of the session
last winter a plan of compromise was
very nearly agreed upon, and would
have been carried out but for the foolish
obstlnacy of one or two men. A re-
newal OF effort on this line now. when
there are no political prizes to contend
for, might result in an understanding
that would bring the two houses to-
gether. Each party now has twenty
five members OF the house Of represent
atives whose seats are not in dispute.
Each lays claim to five disputed seats.
The conditions seem to be favorable for
a fair and reasonable adjustment. There
are men OF good sense and patriotism on
both sides. We believe they can and
will find the way out. Several years ago
when the people of Louisiana were rent
and torn by party strife, the brilliant
Senator Matt. Carpenter went down to

The session OF the State Teachers MS
sociatlon Of Montana closed last night.
The Importance Of such gatherings on
the education and development Of the
young cannot be overestimated. While
the results may not be immediate, they
are, nevertheless, certain. An exchange
OF ideas, the simplitication Of work, tho
ultimate uniformity Of system in school
training and discipline, are among the
things that may be looked for from a
meeting OF teachers from various parts
Of n great state like Montana. 1t has
boon said that no maj is through with
learning until he has come to lay down
the affairs OF this world and take on
those Of the next. Teachers are no ex-
ception to this rule. il it be a rule. There
is much to DO learned from one another,
If not in the rudiments, at least in the
practice Of them. Instruction from the
teachers who took part in the meeting
would be pleasant if there were nothing
else to be gained than the association
we refer to the female portion Of the as
ISOLATION. May they go back to their
work with minds and bodies refreshed
for their arduous duties, and with q
feeling that the people appreciate their
efforts, and we wish them one and all
and women-a Happy New Year.

Progress in Japan.

New York Sun: There are some highly
interesting facts in the report of the Japan
csc minister of education for last year,
which has recently been issued. 1t appears
that education is now offered to all the
children in Japan, and that there are near
ly 100000 pupils in the public schools of
the progressive empire. There is conse-
q~uently a growth of intelligence among the
people that promises to bring about a
marked change in the Japanese mind. In
the Imperial University at Toxic many new
studies have been introduced, and an excel
lent scientific training is given to the stu
dents there. A society has been organized
in the university for the critical study of
the ancient traditions, primitive annals,
and modern history Of Japan, and there is
satisfactory evidence that this work is lone
in a thorough manner At the same time
the number of new books that is published
in Japan gives evidence of the scope of the
literary revival that has been in progress
for some years.

NOW FOR A NEW CHATTER,

The city attorney says that in his
opinion the city cannot create a bonded
debt IN excess Of $4,000 for the purpose
of taking up city warrants. That set
ties the bond question without its sub
mission to a vote Of the people.
The city attorney also says that no
warrants can be issued unless there are
funds in the treasury to meet them.
That puts an end to reckless %financier-
ing and throws out OF employment a
lot Of warrant scalpers who have been
clamorous against any bond issue.
The city council has acted on this
opinion Of its law adviser and stopped
work on public improvements. And it
will stay stopped until something is
done to relieve the situation. There is
but n thing to do now, and that is to
push ahead with the work of framing a
new charter under whose provisions the
city can do the things necessary to be
done. To meet the demands oil the
city's growth it probably will be neces-
sary to slightly increase the limit of in
debtedness. In other words, the char
ter should give our citizens, under
proper safeguards, the right to deter
mine by vote when and for what pur-
pose they will issue bonds. Experience
has demonstrated that half a dozen
barnacles such as Helena, in common
with other cities, has among her popu-
lation, can block the most necessary
public improvement. The new charter
should make it possible for such i'm
provements-th paving Of Main street,
for instance to be carried Iarward
whenever a large majority of the people
demand them. In short the new char
ter must be framed to meet the wants

decade and not the Helena of ten wears

A HAPPY NEW n A

There are few festivals in the calendar
moro worthy Of general observance than
New Years Day. While it is undoubt-
edly true, as the poet puts it., that it is
not in mortals to command success,
there is no n of us so poor, and few OF
lis are 8 selfish, as to be unable to ex-
tend to those around us our best and
warmest wishes for future prosperity
and happiness. Mems hearts beat more
warmly on this universal birthday, hand
grasps hand more kindly, and the hearty
salutation Of "a Happy New Year" rings
out clearly in the crisp, wintry air.
To most of is the day is endeared by
many tender memories Of home and
early friends, some of them, alas, gone
to the "bourne from which no traveller
returns" For the great mass of the
workaday world, the day is pr%e-eminent-
ly q brief breathing spell in the race Of
life. The hope that springs eternal in
the human breast gladly roots itself
anew round each of these recurring
milestones on the dusty highway of
human existence, and sends
forth fresh shoots to blossom
in the year to come. We
are all OF US glad to seize the chance
Of wiping from our minds the
of past mistakes and Bullets from Dame
Fortune. At such a time, good resolu-
tons are specially in order. That they
are not always crowned with success,
We must lay to the blame Of human
frailty. The effort to keep them is not
without it's reward.
For each and every one Of its patrons
THE INDEPENDENT wishes a happy New
Year. They will be wise if they do not
overtax their powers by undertaking to
carry the burden of too many reforms
during the coming year. II they do,
they may share the fate of the Helena
young man who lay awake most Of the
last night of The year just past, wonder
ing which of his bad habits he could
most conveniently and at least trouble
to himself dispense with. AS day began
to break he determined to break him
self Of the habit of rising late. Having
solved the difficulty, he rolled over to
sleep the sleep OF the just until late in
the afternoon.

THE SWEETEST ROSE IS THE

Der the mountains wild comes a little
child,
And ell the untrodden ways
Are blooming bright, meath his steps of
light,
And the valleys ring with his praise;
And the morning slints on his brow, and
His cheek with its rosy rays.
His bright eyes beam and his tresses
Shot with the sunshine's darts
That mark his way through the gates OF
days
As the dying year departs.
And the vacant throne is now his own,
And his kingdom is human hearts.
The songs he sings, and the joys he brings,
Are wonderful, sweet and rare;
And the future CLOVIS like a fragrant rose
Meath the wand that he waves in the air,
And with kisses sweet. and with smiles, we
greet
The beautiful, glad New Year;
And cover the head of the old year. dead,
With a cold, old shroud Of snow.
Life is sweet, but time is fleet,
And the years must come and go;
The beautiful years. with their smiles and
tears,
The years that we all love 80.
Kisses and tears for its joys aud cares
The year whose steps have passed
Into silence sweet, where no fall of feet
Is heard iii the Dim and Vast.
To the old-his due; but We love the New
