There is class of men who. being

any thing resembling Importance, seek
to secure the notoriety they long for by
making attacks on men or societies of

that some little measure of public at

selves. This fact needs to be borne in

THE Helena Journal is persistent in Its
demands that the republican rumps
must stand firm and as its only reason for
this reactlonary course says the supreme
court has decided that the five republicans
from Silver Bow county are entitled to
seats. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
the court decided nothing of the sort.
No such question came before it, and if it
did, partisan as that bench is, it would be
promptly thrown aside for want of juris-
diction. Each house is the judge of the
qualifications of its own members and the
supreme court has no more to do with it
than has Justice Winters of this city. The
supreme court of Montana, or part Of it,
that went into a back office with locked
doors and window blinds down to anvas

cincts in order to make %alepublican legis.
lature and elect W. F. Sanders senator
cast sufficient odium on the bench; it
need hardly be expected they will under
take to decide who are members and who
are not members of the house of repre-
sentatlves, when the house alone has that
authority. VIZ are prepared to hear any
thing else of the supreme court but this.
The Journal Is giving its case away when
it makes such a preposterous claim as il
does.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT CANNON

STATE SUPERINTENDENT CANNON ~
his address to the teachers at Helena last
week, said: The public school record
of work done from 1854 to 1872 are want
ing, but from the biennlel report of the
territorial superintendent, Cornelius
Hedges, for 1872 and 1s73.it is found that
the first public school taught in Virginia
in 1864 the number had risen to ninety
schools employing ninety-nine teachers,
with an enrolment of 1881 children, for
whom 1871, 100 was appropriated. In 1881
the number of schools was 1874, teachers
III. In 1900 the number of school was
500, employing 900 teachers, and 1G,SOO
children on the roll, and for the support
of the schools 100000 was appropriated.
This is a, record of which any people
might feel proud. When it is known that
the school system has been built up
wholly by local taxation, with no aid from
the territory at large, it proves conclu-
sively that the people of Montana have
nobly responded to every call made upon
them and are marching abreast with the
educational movement in the older states.

SPEAKING of the closure rule and the
force bill, the Pioneer Press, a republican
paper, says: Theoretically this is all
right enough. But the first practical
snag against which a man of common
sense strikes is that, after a great many
years of existence, the senate first finds
ecourse to the gag proceeding in order
t o pass a bad bill. That fact offsets a
good deal of beautiful theory. The cleo
tons bill is a bad bill; bad for the
country, bad for the party 1t is a
singular co-incident that, Notwithstanding
the violence of party struggles in the last
century, it has become necessary to
limit debate in the senate until it was de-
sired to force through some legislation
which the country does not want, which
cannot by any possibility compass the
objects stated as the reason for pressing
it, and which is, therefore, certain of de-
feat unless backed up by an extraordinary
process of revising the senate rules.

THE greatest structure yet proposed for
the great exposition at Chicago is now
in the hands of the directors. 1t comes
from G. H. Burton, of Utica, N. Y. Here
it is on paper: The basis is a great sphere
ideal, with hemispheres outlined thereon;
then u mammoth hotel structure, and a
great tower, whole structure reaching
1898 feet in height. The first gallery
surrounding the mighty globe is % feet
from the earth; second, 50 feet; third, 700
feet; fourth, $50 feet; fifth, 100 feet;
sixth, 1900 feet. From the top of the
globe to the fourth gallery is planned for
a mammoth hotel, to acco immediate 10000
guests, built In combination of Gothic
and Oriental architecture. From the
fourth gallery will arise a tower similar
to the Eifel, reaching in all to a height
of 1,768 feet. This will again be sur
mounted with an immense statue of Col
umbus, 1876 feet high. Beginning at the
base, encircling the immense globe
twenty times, will be an electric railroad
making Its scent and reaching the great
hotel after a journey of twelve miles.

THE playful eApressman who, in the
interests of brevity and his supply of
%lampblack, stencils Wix instead of
Wickes upon his packages, is to have his
flights of fancy curbed. The trlcksy
sprite from Great Falls may still get in
his deadly work on the photography of
qulre, but SO far as geographical names
are concerned, his occupation is gone.
OF recent years the confusion in regard
to the correct method of spelling aud
pronunciation Of geographical names
has been provocative of much confusion,
not only to the general public, but to
postofice officials, photographers, and
others specially interested. In Montana
we have decided for good on the correct
pronunciation OF u capital city, but
there are plenty of ''tender-feet'' in the
eastern states who place the accent on
the penultimate syllable. Is it Assina-
bone or Observation-Disclosures.
BY ordes of the war department,
evolved on account of the MANI different
spellings and recommendations of The name
OF the military post to our north, it has
been decided that the correct photography
Is Assinniboine.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4. 1891.

As was generally expected the two
houses organized at Helena yesterday.
The senate is democratic and the COVER
nor has recognized the democratic house.
The republican Pumps at this writing are
out in the cold with no show of accom-
plishing anything. They probably rely
on the supreme court to help them out,
but about the time that partisan outfit
undertakes to decide on the qualifications
of members of the legislature,
they will be called up on a
rather short turn. There are good
grounds for seating another democratic
senator, and with a two-thirds majority it
would be nc trouble to impeach a parti-
san supreme bench. Blake ought to be
ousted for past misdeeds, and If PARTISAN
ism is to rule the bench, it would be the
proper thing to let them all out. The
people have given their verdict on pre-
cinct "a, and 1T should not be disregarded,
Meantime the democratic governor, DEM
ocratic enate and democratic house will
proceed with the business of the state.

Much Felicity at the Park Theatre Last
Evening-EverybOdv Enjoyed
the Scene.
SOMETHING NOT DOWN ON The BILLS.
The JOvial and Popular Fred GottlOb
Presented With a Handsome
Gold Pin.
W. II. Davenport Receives an Elegant
Gold Mounted Cane From the
Employees Of the Theatre.

Just after Fred Gottlob, the stage man
ager of the Park theater, had finished his
"turn" last evening, W. H. Davenport
stepped upon the stage and IN a neat and
appropriate little speech said:
"Ladies and gentlemen-Mr. Gottlob
has been in the employ of Messrs. Germ
& Davenport for some six months, and
We have always found him an efficient
stage manager and a most genial fellow
personally, and on behalf Of the EN-
ployes of the theater as we'll as ourselves,
| take great pleasure in presenting you
with this pin, emblematic of the Benev-
client and Protective Order Of Elks."
To say that Mr.. Gotllob was surprised
does not express 1t; he was utterly dumb.
founded, and for once he was mot equal
to the situation, He soon recovered him
self however, and replied:
"Ladles and Gentlemen-I am not
much of a speech-aaker, but l assure the
ladies and gentlemen who have SO kindly
presented me with this pin that will al
ways keep and treasure it in my memory
as a token of my many esteemed friends
in Great Falls. As l said before, l am
not much of a public speaker, but 1 thank
you from the bottom Of my heart, and as
one good turn deserves another, l will,on
behalf of the employees of this theatre,
present you (Mr. Davenport) with this
cane"
Mr.. Gottlob then stepped into the
wings and produced a beautiful gold
headed ebony can MI. Davenport was
visibly affected and even more surprised
than MIR. Gottlob had been by this token
of esteem from his employees, and in q
few we'll chosen words thanked them fol
their handsome present, and amidst the
applause of the audience, both gentlemen
retired behind the scenes.
Mr.. Gottlob's pin is a very ha ndsomt
piece of work and is inscribed ;"B. P. O.E'
"Cervus. Alces." Fred was never before
so tickled over anything and he greatly
enjoyed showing his present to friends.
Mr.. Davenport's present is q beauty and
has a most conspicuous position as one o
the ornaments of the theater. Wher
"Dav" particularly wants to swell he will
probably use the stick, but not otherwise
He's too proud of it.

MONTANA.

The progress of Montana during the
past year has been something splendid.
Her mines have yielded more than ever,
new acres have been put under the pillow,
the product of her ranges, recovered
from the drouth Of two years ago, has
doubled In value, her population has
largely increased, innumerable fair resi-
dences have been built, some great min.
ing works have been established; in short,
the state In every field and in every form
hes moved on steadily with an increased
momentum towards perfect prosperity.
Montana is the third or fourth state in
area in the union, it has within it,
self all that is necessary to create an EN-
pire, it contains some of the most beauti.
full scenery on the continent, it has as
healthy a climate as any country, it has
as enterprising men as ever stormed the
Businesses of a wilderness and hewed out
from it a great state; it has ample lands
for agriculture; it has ample pasturage
for unlimited stock; judging by Its out
put, it is the richest of mineral states, and
the class of men who are handling the
resources of that land are performing
miracles every year. Montana can be
depended upon now and always in the
future to make a good accountof herself
socially, morally, tinancially-every way,
and should the time ever come when this
republic would again call in soldiers to
rally to Its tlay, no state will respond with
drawer or more eager men than will Mon
tana.
