In Hon. Thomas ii. Carter Montana
had an able and energetic representa-
tive in congress. Although Mr. Carter
is now a private citizen and will, i'm all
probability, return to Helena to en-
gage in the practice OF his profession,
he will always be counted among the
most useful and popular men OF the
state, and we predict that the whirli-
gig of time will again see him elevated
to the highest office in the gift oil the
people OF the state. His defeat last
fall cannot be attributed to any de.
ficiencies OF his own, but owing to a
feeling OF security and over-confidence
on the part Of his friends.

The bad news comes from Buttea and
Anaconda that the mines and smelter
of the great Anaconda company have
closed down indefinitely, thereby
throwing fully 1000 men out of EN-
ployment. The shut down is owing
to the strained relations between the
company and the Montana Union
railway over traffic rates. The Ana
conda company should build a rail
road of its own between the mines and
the smelter.

Right OF Congress to Forbid Use of

Have Nothing to Complain Of

WARRINGTON CITY, Sept. 1.-THE case Of the
United States against John l. Rapier and two
cases OF the United States against George W.
Dupre will come up for argument at the October
term OF the United States supreme court Each
of these cases is an application for a discharge
by writ of habeas corpus from arrest for alleged
violation of the anti-lottery legislation of the
United States in mailing lottery advertisements
Judgment was against defendants, and the cases
were appealed to the supreme court Attorney
General Miller has prepared a brief. which he
submits on behalf OF the government The
brief says in pant
If il can be demonstrated that to prev upon
ones fellow-men by means of lottery is fun
damental human right, then the decalogue and
the Sermon on the Mount not to mention the
Declaration of Independence, ought to be re-
written at once. / maintain, without fear of
successful contradiction. that whatever acts or
enterprises congress has power to make crimi-
nal in the district of Columbia or other
territories, it may refuse directly or In
directly 10 aid, encourage or abet in any
state without violating any obligation either to
the citizen or the state. ANY state may make
the practices of this lottery company. or even
the possession OF its tickets within its borders
with the intention to sell, crime. This exer-
else OF this power of legislation in regard to the
mails, as in the exercise of many OF its other
legislative powers, congress has very broadly
discussed as 10 whether ii shall at ALL and il so
when and to what extent and for what purpose
ii shall act
The attorney general then argues to show that
congress has undoubtedly the right TO legislate
for the common good, and says:
Suppose, as is now an eayfy probability, a
postal telegraph should be estabiis he'd. Is il
true that the United States government
would be under obligations to transmit
reference to all business or practices
not indictable at common law and not known
to the law books, as mai um IN Sc? Could il not
refuse TO transmit kilograms boldly regarding
gambling transactions, trading upon margins
in wheat or stocks, or negotiating purchases
and sale OF lottery tickets, or in regard to any
other business which, in the exercise of sound
discretion. congress might declare to be contra
bona Rloresf
Upon the theory of the argument of petition
ers that the publishers of newspapers had an
absolute right TO carriage in the mails, and that
any discrimination against them is abridging
the freedom of the press, then all postal regula.
ton by which letters are given precedence of
newspapers might be held 10 be abridging the
freedom of the press.

JUVENILES PLAY FOR CHARITY.
Ball Game Between the White Caps and
the Lightning Strikers.


The turn of the boys to give an exposition of
the possibilities of the national game has come
and If they do not possess the learning of the
lawyers and ministers, who played on Wednes-
day, no doubt more science will be shown. The
White Caps, of Anacortes, and the Lightning
Strikers, of Seattle are 10 play for the benefit of
charity tomorrow. AS the proceeds of Wednes-
day did not fully liquidate the debt against the
Day Nursery, 1t has been decided to turn the
proceeds OF tomorrows game into the same
channel instead of into the fountain fund, and
it is so arranged by Mrs. Johnson, president OF
the Central w. c. 7. U. Since the game is for
the Day Nursery, and the nursery for children,
every boy and girl in the city should turn out to
see ii and help swell the fund. The ladies in
tend to treat the boys royalty, for, knowing the
weak spot of ball players. they have decided to
tempt their sppetites by a fine supper at the
residence of Mrs. Johnson on Madison street
The managers of the Day Nursery report that
the net proceeds of Wednesdays game are
slo6.45, aside from the money received from the
sale of tickets by the ladies, and the boys who
play tomorrow hope 10 swell the sum considera-
bly,. The price or admission has been placed at
. cents for adults and 10 cents for children
The makeup of the teaEns is as follows
White Caps-Albert BeYDell pitcher and cap
tain, Claude Vassar first base, William Ginnette
