THE SHERIDAN MONUMENT.

4 Start Already Made in the Effort to
Complete the Fund.
II am heartily in favor of the idea of
Montana chipping in to help the Sheridan
monument fund.-" said Col. Broadwater
yesterday. "Sheridan, ! believe, was one
of the greatest generals America ever pro-
duced, and M%ontnnians should show their
appreciation Of the services he rendered
this state whenever he thought we needed
them. | would like to be counted in on a
popular subscription and | feel sure that
there are many of the old timers, like Gov,
Hauser n others, as well az those
who came to the state more recently, who
will join in the movement"
Montana cnI.not show her appreciation
of the gallant Phil. Sheridan in a better
way than by helping to put a monument
for him." said another Helena gentleman.
II am not 30 well fixed financially as some
of my friends, but l can find s. to add to
add to the fund. Let us make this a ponu-
lar fund, small nnounts az we'll as large
ones being acceptable"
1t is thought the local Grand army poat
will take the matter in hand.

grnMts.
The immigration business Of A. Il. John
son 4 Go. west of Chicago haa been diverted
temporarily to the Burlington. Since May
10 the business Of that firm has been done
by the Albert Lea route, but now a change
has been made by order of Chairman Fin
ley. The immigration business of johnson
Il Co. is serving ns an excellent means of
leveling up tho percentages of the weaker
lines in the Chicago pool. johnson u Co.
have II contract with the Northern Pacific
for the transportation of immigrants, and
when this road obtained control of the
Wisconsin Central the contract was ex-
tended over that line. Later, when the
blind pool was formed, tho Wisconsin Cen
trail agreed that johnson d Co.'s business
should be subject to diversion, n satisfac-
tory agreement having been made with the
immigration agency. On May 10 an
order was issued diverting the traffic
to the Burlington and Albert Lea,
but johnson ~ Co. objected to divid-
ing the business, and routed it all over
the Albert Lea. From May 10 to July l
l, 101 passengers were so routed, bringing
the percentage of that road above the
proper limit. Now Chairman Finley has
issued IN order diverting the traffic to the
Burlington and the Omaha, but again
johnson Il Co. object to division and
have issued orders to all their eastern
agents to quite all business over the Bur

the tariff question to the front. II is
clearly recognized by sagacious politi-
clans, that however undesirable ii may
be for the party in the west and south
to submit to dictation or compromise
the vote of New York in 1892 is essen
tial to party success. Now York's posi-
ton is strengthened at tho present time
by the fact that two or three Of the
New England states might be carried
by the democrats on the tariff contro-
versy, but would certainly be lost if free
silver were made the leading Issue.
There is no question that the west and
south combined could control the nom
mating convention next year and secure
the insertion of a free coinage plank in
the platform. If there is any conces-
sion, therefore, it will DO a yielding on
the part of q free coinage majority to
the demands OF a minority for expe-
diency's sake. We look upon such a
concession as quite probable. The re-
publicans, if they do not take decided
ground against free coinage, in the
hope OF holding New York in line, will
dodge the question altogether. They
will nominate Harrison or another enemy
OF the silver interest. They have no
in their party who is anything
else. The republican convention will be
held two or three months earlier than
OF the democrats and the conserv-
alive element in the latter party will,
therefore, find it easier to induce their
convention to keep the silver ques-
ton somewhat in the background.
Such ia the outlook at the present
The fight over the silver ques-
lion in congress next winter may change
t or settle the controversy altogether,
out the chances are strongly in favor Of
the issue Of 1888 over again.

Rate for Theatrical Companies.

At a meeting Of the Western Passe niger
association the old question of special party
rates for the benefit Of travelling theatrical
companies was revived. The proposition
was to make a rate of two cents per mile
for parties of ten or more, but to establish
a form of ticket that would prove a reason
able safeguard against the abuse Of the
privilege. The general sentiment of the
meeting was in favor of a party rate on the
proposed basis, and a committee was ap-
pointed to recommend a special form of
2,O0O-mile ticket for thisp purpose, the COM
mittee to report at the September meeting.

Ton Dollars Not Enough.

A meeting of the passenger officials Of the
C~hicago-St. Paul lines was held the other
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern.
In consequence of the $40 rate existing be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river the
two roads named have asked their st. Paul
connections to accept an arbitrary rate of
$40 between st. Pau and Chicago on all
through business to and from points on tho
Northern Pacific or Great Northern. The
only road in favor of accepting this propo-
sition was the Wisconsin Central, which, of
course, is all ready to act with the Northern
Pacific. The others rejected it on the
ground that $40 is less than their due pro-
portion on such through business, and de-
cided to continue the present prorating ar
rangements.

notice that some of the exchanges
claim that under the new school law,
women are no longer entitled to vote
upon school questions. Iwish to call
your attention to the state constitution
Art. T-sec.9 which reads:-Any wo-
mon having the qualification in sec. l
of this article as to age, residence and
citizenship, and including those quail
fed by the laws of the Territory, may
vote at any election held solely for
school purposes, and may hold any
Office in this state except as otherwise
provided in this constitution"
Which means that any woman 81
years Of age and upwards, who has re-
sided in this state SIX months, in the
county thirty days, and in the election
precinct where she offers her vote ten
days preceding any election, may
vote at all elections held tor school
purposes.
AS no one should be more interested
in everything pertaining to schools
than women, / feel anxions that all
our sex who are qualified electors
should through the magic favor of the
! ballot box. throw their influence
around the children who spend so
/ much of their time in the school room.
We have nothing to do with party,
out it is our duty to help elect persons
| who will look after, not only the NOR
al standing of the schools but also the
sanitation.
We want intelligent. progressive Of
fcers and teachers who will realize
that childs eyeslght may be ruined
for life by glare of light. and
the general health broken down by
bad ventilation, or by cold floor
while the temperature of the room
runs up to 80. And that the school
room should DO like pleasant, cheer
full home instead of dingy prison
walls. South Dakota's record on edu-
cation now stands third, and by the
help of the home side of the people
may be brought to No 1. Let every
woman take up the ballot at school
elections as d duty, and enter this
open door, thus helping God answer
your OWE prayers NETTIE G. HALL.
