The manager Of a large department. in n
Helena grocery firm WAS standing in the
billiard room Of The Helena the other
after noon when he noticed Il young man
playing with the ivory balls. He thought
no had seen him before, but Was not sure.
He walked back to the stovO and hunted
up the above circular with o picture OF the
man wanted. Then, with q friend, he
walked back to the hotel, when the young
man was playing billiards.
n.y.
The two gentlemen called the man aside.
One of them held up the circular.
"Are you the man wanted?" asked one.
The young fellow turned AZ white As one
Of the ivory balls. He fairly grinned, and
bis voice broke with emotion when he re- !
piled:
''Yes; ! am Robert A. Stanton. Take me
back with you"
"Lat's have talk about this business"
said ono of the gentlemen.
The trio went up into Stanton's room and
there, with tears streaming from his eyes,
he told the story Of his crime. He had
been Il travelling salesman with the Daniels.
Cornell company for ton years. He had
bsen honest. but like many other honest
men he tried to make money too fast. He
in sugar., the price dropped from
s5 to 81 and he used the FIRMS money to
make up the deficiency. The sun grew so
large that he was afraid to explain and 30
he skipped. He reached Helena, where he
registered At The Helena AZ Charles J..
Stanley, Of New York. Mr.. u. N. Carvalho, |
the handwriting expert, who arrived the
next day, would have had little difficulty in
tracing a similarity between the name on
the register and the fac simile OF Mr.. Stan
toms signature in the circular.

The two men listened to the story. Then
told Mr.. Stanton to get out Of town
as fast as tie cars would carry him. He
never even stopped to settle his hotel bill,
but boarded the first train for the west.

Building and loan associations have
evidently come TO stay. They are al

sayingso Of the people and, II their growth
in the future should equal that in the
past, they will aoon outrank IN i'm

and occupy the whole ground Of small

controller of the currency provides
come interesting figures bearing on the
matter. The whole country possesses
G37 purely mutual savings banks, Con
seryatiye New England, the Middle
states, Maryland and the District Of
Columbia claim them all but eleven.
In tho west We have building and loan
associations by the thousand. In Mich
igan, for example, there are over two
hundred, and not one single mutual
savings bank.
1t is not bard to account for the pop
ularity Of such associations mon a

are conducted by officers who arc con

TuE draft OF the proposed new char
tor for tho city OF Helena has been
printed and placed in the hands OF
members Of tho legislature. We have
| already published the most important
changes that il makes in our organic
law. One section provides for the cleo.
ton Of aldermen on a general city
/ ticket, not more than n being chosen
from any one ward at the same election.
| Another section places the general man
agement Of city affairs in the hands OF "A
board OF public works composed OF
three members to be elected by the city
council. These are the provisions OF the
new instrument that will be most dis
cussed and most opposed. We believe
they are both in the interest OF good gov.
eminent. There is certainly room for m
prcyement in the board Of aldermen
and the experience Of other cities has
been that tho election OF the aldermen
ut large has resulted in bringing 4 bet
ter class OF men into the municipal leg
islature.
Inc cHlti oDJoctIoH uike" ~ WIZ
board OF public works is that the crea-
ton Of such a body, the members OF
which are to draw n salary OF $1,000 or
5000 @ year. would entail a large ex-
pense on the city. We believe, on the
contrary, that money would be saved
to the taxpayers by having the public
business watched, cared for and directed
by an intelligent board composed OF
men Of both parties, who should them
selves be taxpayers, and who, by the
terms OF the charter, are required to
give their entire time to the public ser
vice. Our present charter gives us a
government by committees OF the city
council. The new plan is simpler, bet
ter and more economical.

A Washington dispatch TO tlie Den
YER News says that some OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends are claiming that his
anti-silyer letter was u shrewd move on
the political chess board, having for its
Interior purpose the certainty OF cleo
ton OF a democratic president in 1892
by securing the eastern states, and that
when tho leaders come 10 consider II IN
sill its bearings they will see that he Is
wiser than they. They say that. reck-
oning on the result Of the last Novem-
Der election, the democrats have
seventy-figo electoral votes east Of Penn
sylvania. They carried Connecticut,
with its six electoral votes, Massachu-
setts with fifteen. New Hampshire with
four, New Jersey with ton. New York
with thirty-six and Rhode Island with
four votes. These gentlemen ask where
can the democrats get twenty-five cleo
toral votes In the west. since Mt the late
election the only western state where
the democrats had a clean victory, free

ment. wa Wisconsin. They further in
sist that IL Mr.. Cleveland goes to the
south with the seventy-fiye eastern
votes at his back, the south is in no
position to reject him because OF his
views on the silver question. II Mr..
Cleveland's supporters reckon this way
they are deceiving themselves. No sane
politician counts on such an overturn-
ing as that Of last year to recur in 1892.
The wise man is he who recognizes that
next years battle is to be a mighty one
and that the result is by no 9 as
sured. Now York, New Jersey and
Connecticut are the only states whose
electoral votes the democrats can rea.
sonably count upon. Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and New Hampshire never
go democratic except in an off year, and
while they may be fair fighting ground
the odds are in favor Of the republicans
carrying them.
The only intelligent basis from which
to begin any safe calculations il the vote
II the states in 1888. New Jersey and
Connecticut were the only eastern states
carried by the democrats. They will
have sixteen electoral votes in 1892.
The worst that could happen to the
democrats. il they make free coinage
tho issue, would he the loss Of these
states in addition to those they failed to
carry in 1883. They would carry every
southern state on the silver issue, and,
il the republicans opposed free coinage
in their platform, the twenty-five electo-
raj votes Of Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada and California would
be as sure for the democrats as the
votes Of the New England States for
the republicans. Thus the question
would narrow right down to this: Must
the democrats play for the vote Of New
York to win? Do the party conditions
in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas
warrant the hope that the necessary
number Of electora! votes could be
found in them to elect q democratic
president on a free coinage platform?
We advise our eastern friends to figure
on this proposition: Can they defeat a
combination Of the west and south in a
national convention? That is what is
coming unlegs the situation changes in
the next twelve-month.

WESTERN LAD is a grand looking

and great muscular development; as
an individual is rarely equaled.
