Gov. HUMPHREY, of Kansas, has a
delicate task to perform in selecting a
successor to the late Senator Plumb.
Naturally. the name Of John J. ingalls,
suggests itself. lie is the ablest and
most brilliant man in his state, and he
was voted for by the republicans in
their legislative caucus last winter. At
the same time, Mr.. ingalls, was deprived
OF his seat in the senate by popular
uprising that swept the republican
party in the state from power Should
Gov. Humphrey appoint him to the va
cant seat it would be an act of defiance
to the popular will that might bring
serious consequences upon the party
The appointment of another republican
would not be so marked an act of con.
tempt. 1t is reported that the governor
has under consideration the name Of his
particular friend Mr.. Peck, the attorney
OF the Atchinson, Topeka g. Santa Fe

THE Louisville Courier Journal ex-,
presses the views Of the large body OF
democrats in declaring it is not sufficient
for the party in congress to propose a
repeal of the Mckinley law without
offering a measure defining it's own
principles. SIN the first place." it says,
"this would take from the free list a
number of articles which should not be
taxed. There are other articles which
should be free before sugar, but having
free sugar democrats will not move to
restore it," To go back to the old law
Of 1883, which was nearly as iniquitous
as the Mckinley bill, would also be alb
surd. "Certain clearly defined princi-
PIES" the Courier Journal we'll says,
SHOULD control all tariff legislation,
whether democrats attack the tariff in
detail or by a general bill. The first is
that taxation is the highest prerogative
of government and is to be exercised
only in behalf Of public purposes. The
second is that taxation should bear as
lightly as possible on those articles
which lie at the base OF our great indus
tries. The third is that this exemp-
ton OF materials entering into our great
products must be balanced by cores
ponding low duties on the finished
goods. These were the principles on
which the Mills bill was formed; they
are just, sound and essential"
This is good platform, and the party
will not go far wrong if it keeps it's feet
on it.

Archbishop Ryan was dining with
George w. Childs the other day." remarked
Philadelphia gentleman to New York
Herald reporter, ''and the usual Philadel-
phia dinner party was present-Wayne
MacVeagh and the rest. There is certain
dining set in Philadelphia, four-hfths of
whom form almost every private dinner of
prominence. You give me the name of the
dinner giver and the number of guests and
I'll call the turn on who were present.
Well, of course MacVeagh was present at
this dinner, and the ex-attorney-genera sat
next to the archbishop. During the even
ing the subject of railway passes was
brought up, very naturally, when the arch
bishop said he had never travelled on rail
road pass in all his life, and had never been
offered one. Of course, this singular state
ment attracted the attention of Colonel
Mcclure Clayton McMichae, Wayne Mac
Veagh and the rest, and caused a general
smile of wonderment.
"'Why, my dear archbishop said Mac
Veagh, you have missed one of the real
pleasures of life, as she is known in Phila-
delphla.'
""Ihe sensation of travelling on a pass
would certainly be new to me-" said his
grace.
"'I'll have to see Mr.. George w Boyd of

THAT MINING CONGRESS.

What has become of it9 A few weeks
AGO our citizens we're all rejoicing over
the news from Denver that the next
session Of the mining congress, one OF
the most important bodies that will as
4 eemble I'M the ensuing year, would be
held in Helena. Here was great thing
Tor Montana, beyond o doubt. Every
body could see that at a glance. Our
delegates, Messrs. Hauser, Hotter, Ma
ginnis and Others came homo from Dan
YER and reported that the meeting OF
1892 would be attended by Thousand
or two representative mining men. and
that incalculable good would result TO
our own mining interests from the pres
ence here Of such body. Weeks have
gone by, the temporary ebullition OF ex-
citemelat over the event has subsidized,
and, SO far as we can learn, not thing
has been done toward preparing for the
meeting, which, if it is n1eagerly at
tended and badly accommodated, will
do lasting injury to our state. Did
everybody's duty end when the invita-
tion from Montana was accepted? Are
there no committees charged with the
all-important work Of thorough prepar-
alton for the convention? Are any
measures being taken to see that the
various mining districts Of the state are
interested in getting ready for display
of our mineral resources? Does our
Board Of Trade propose to have any
thing to do with the matter? If SO,
when /?
In word, do our people realize the
magnitude of the work that must be
done to make the convention success,
and the Importance Of beginning prepar-
ations for it at once? Isn't it about
time all hands were getting together for
consultation. We do not know whose
business it is to take the initiative, but
obviously either our delegates to the
Denver convention Or an organization Of
our citizens, like the Board Of Trade,
should lead off. The credit of our state
and city are at stake in this undertak-
ing, and we cannot afford to take any
chances Of failure.

A Business Which Is Up to the Times the
Year Around.
It is the custom for great many houses
to make during the weeks preceding Christ
mas extra preparations, and to offer extra
inducements to purchasers during that
time. This is in many cases necessitated
by the fact that those referred to make a
speciality of goods intended almost wholly
for the holiday trade. But the grocers do
not have to do this. and one among them
has holiday goods and does big business
through all the seasons. The house re-
ferrel to is that of Turner u Co., whose
reputation for the best goods is too woll
known in Helena to necessitate mention.

WHATEVER else may be said OF
Stephen B. Elkins, he is a man OF
breadth Of view enough to understand
that there is such a part Of the United
States as the west. He understands the
Indian question and the needs OF the
army, and he has the influence and abil-
ity to administer his office in the inter
ests OF the people Of the west. And We
miss our guess if he does not do it.

Senator aIorrilfs Comments on Some
datters of General Interest.
NEW YORK, April 1l-Senator Morrill,,
Of Vermont. was asked what he thought
of the prospects of Canadian reciprocity.
AThey are not fiattering,s he said sReci-
procity with Canada is undesirable. We
could not enter into such relations on
any article sxcept coal with advantage
to ourselves. We do not want to take off
the duty on their horses and cattle and
barley. The difficulty lies in the desire
Of Canada to make no discrimination
against England.
Would Spoil the scheme for Us
If they were given the reciprocal rela-
lions with this country which some have
asked, they would insist on the same
with England, and England would derive
ali the benefit. With labor at one half
the wages we pay, they would supply the
machinery and other manufactured goods,
and Canadian farmers would send us
their products, buying little in return.
Sir John Macdonald would as soon put
poison in his own coffee as entertain a
proposition TO establish relations with us
which Disseminated against the mother
country
Prospects for Tariff Legislation.
HDo You look for any changes in the
tariff law at the next congresss7
mo general changes. If the Demo
cratic house were to pass general tariff
bill, it is not likely that the senate would
agree to it. The recent elections indicate
that the sentiment has changed since the
elections last fall, and some of those sena-
tors who were not willing to vote with us
for the Mckinley bill might hesitate be-
fore they voted for any radical measures
in the next congress. II the changes in
membership and the strength OF those
who voted against the bill last session re-
suited in passing bill from the Demo-
cratic house the president would veto it. 4"
The Fight Next Year.
Senator Morrill, said that President
Harrison was the principal figure on the
Republican slate for 1892. Cleveland's
chances with the Democrats were about
even. His letter on the free coinage of
silver" said the senator, will prevent
the Democrats from going in a body to
free coinage in 1892. He is too prominent
figure in his party for it to be otherwise
Its plain language will have a strong in
tuence on the Democrats everywhere. 1t
cannot be ignored. Mr.. Blaine, believe
is loyal to Harrison. Judged by his APP
pearanee he is not in perfect health, al
though his mental faculties are as keen
and active as ever"
The Farmers Alliance.
What will the Farmers Alliance do in
1922
That is not born as party yet. I do
not think it will organize as a political
party IN New England to any great ex-
tent. The Grange did not go to the ALI
ance on e., elton day. The farmers of
New England and New York are not so
radical as those of Kansas aud other west
ern States
