New YORK has adopted the secret
ballot but it does not propose to have
10 to Is per cent. of the voters of that
state disfranchised through inability to
understand a cumbersome and over
loaded ballot act, such as Montana has
upon her statute book. The friends of
ballot reform are agreed that the work
Of the voter on election day should be
simplitied and expedited SO that even a
wayfaring man may exercise his right
and not have his vote thrown out on a
technicality. The New York legislature
will be asked to amend the act SO as to
make palmer the political affiliations OF
candidates. 1t is proposed that each
political party shall select an emblem -
u flag, an eagle or other device-which
shall be placed opposite the name of each
candidate of that party on the official
ballot. Such a pictorial design would
enable a voter to mark the names on his
ballot quickly and without mistake.
The secrecy of the ballot will be pre-
served inviolate as under the present
act, which is the chief object of the bal
lot reformers, while the objection to an

THE democrats Of New York city, who
are opposed to Tammany hall, are going
to form a new organization o. the ruins
of the County Democracy. That will be
all right il they donot build On the old
foundation, but they want TO DO very
careful to shut out the traitors, who sold
out the remnant Of the County Dem
ocracy for Platt's money. It is q good
thing for tho immense democratic ma
jority in the metropolis to have two or
CARNATIONS. Rivalry in local contests,
il they are honestly conducted, does not
hurt the party in general, and tends to
make the rival leaders more careful. The
old County Democracy in ITS inception
was a clean organization. Among its
leaders we're mon like Edward Cooper,
Abram S. Hewitt and William c. Whitney,
who saw something more in politics than
the spoils OF office. Deterioration set in
in a few years, however, and the organ
ization passed under the control Of de-
men who used it for their per-
sonal ends. Let the new association
profit by the mistakes OF it's predecessor.

h Good Name of Smith Vindicated

OLYMPIA, WASH, Nov. 13.-The death of
DR.. G. 5. Smith has brought to light sensa-
tional Developments in his career. He came
to this city from Llano, Texas, where for
seventeen years he was a prominent physi-
clan. Among his effects was found a state
ment that his name was not Smith, but Il.
G. Thompson and that he was county treas-
nrer OF Decatur county. Iowa, in 1872,
While acting in this capacity he defaulted
in a large sum and fed. His family
mourned him as dead. In his will he be-
queathed half of his estate worth about
$4,000 to his wife and children, the other
nall to go to the suretles on his bono AZ
treasurer. He was about C5 years of ace
and WIS we'll esteemed. He says in tie
statement that his shortage was due to too
much confidence in professed friends. but
that it is not nearly ~ large az represented

Helena People to Attend the Celebration
at the Mining Camp.
A special meeting of the Board of Trade
of making up an excursion TO leave Helena
this evening for Neihart. B.. II. Langley.
general agent of the Great Northern rail
road, was present. The road offered to
send a special train of two coaches from
Helena to join the Great Falls excursion
lists at the latter place. The fare will be
81 for the round trip, Of which $3.D is for
the special to Great Falls and return, and
$3.50 from Great Falls to Neihart and back
to the Falls. As it is intended to run a
special from Great Falls anyhow. the addi-
tional trouble to the road will be the spe-
cial from Helena to the Falls and back.
For this the road asked a guarantee of 100
exourslonists or $3.50. President Parchen,
of the Board of Trade, regretted that his
duties on the United States grand jury
favored the excursion. He thought
that there should be no trouble
in getting 100 people to 70. T. C. Power
suggested that it would be we'll to get up q
list of subscribers to about 5000 toward the
guarantee of 1870. and started out with the
paper right there. He got a p%retty,good
amount subscribed, and will work up the
balance to-day. Those who subscribe will
only be called on to pay pro ra9a for any
deficiency that may arise should the num-
Der of excursionists fall short of 100, and
for what small expense will be entailed in
decorating the cas- If The number OK
ceeds 100 the subscribers will only nave to
pay their share of the decoration of the cars.
The railroad agreed to start the special
out of Helena at whatever time should be
most agreeable to the excursionists. The
meeting decided that the best time to leave
Helena would be six o'clock this evening.
The train will arrive in Great Falls about
$50 tonight. With the other special con-
tanning the Great Falls people it will leave
that place at eight o'clock to. morrow morn
ing and reach Neihart about II O'Clock.
The people of Neihart offer the visitors the

WAS 1T A

We understand that Mr.. j. M.
Greenwood, Of Kansas City, has written
a letter to a friend, in which he denies
that he voted against Helena as tn Q
place for holding the next meeting of
the teachers convention. We do not
believe that Mr.. J. M. Greenwood
has made any such denial. If he has
done SO, then Mr.. j. M. Greenwood is
the victim Of a most wicked and daring
forgery. At the meeting of the execu-
tive committee Of tho National Educa-
tional association, in New York, a letter
%purporting to be signed by one J. M.
Greenwood was submitted by President
Cook. 1T was a long and rambling doc
ument, filled with taffy for Helena and
Seattle and concluding with a vote for
Saratoga as against either of the other
cities.
Is it possible that Mr.. j. M. Green
wood, of Kansas City, Mo, did not write
that letter? IT he did not, for the sake
OF his battered reputation as a man and
a gentleman, he should lose no time in
procuring from Mr.. Cook, or whoever
has charge of the document, the spur
ious letter and spare 10 pains or ex-
pense to hunt down the forger. He
owes this duty not only 10 himself but
to the association, which has been put
in a most unenviable light before the
country by the trickery and misrepre-
sentation which have attended the To-
cation OF the convention.
Let Mr.. j. M. Greenwood forth
with make peremptory demand for the
production of the ~fateful letter that
gave the deciding vote for Saratoga
We know how Stevenson and Garrett
voted. They were for Helena. We
think we know how Greenwood voted.
There is just one possibility that we
are mistaken. The letter that we be-
lieve he wrote, may have been written
by some one else and his name signed
to it. Is that so, Mr.. Greenwood?

there for them which will lead them up to
a perception and love of spiritual bles-
sings. That party which unmistakably de-
clares for the prohibition of strong drink
in the political platforms of 1899 is the
only that can hope for the goodwill,
good words and prayers of the W. G. T. u.

gave the charge to the pastor. and the
charge to the people was given by the
Rev. DR.. Parmly. The new pastor also
