ROAD DISTRICTS


There is an injustice in our dis
trict system. They are laid out
generally for the convenience of the
parties paying tax, and are inequit-
able and unfair. One district hav-
ing but a few miles of road which
are easily made and cheaply main
tanned, will exceed in valuation an
adjoining district with double the
miles of road, which are difficult to
make and expensive to maintain.
As the roads are passably good in
the first district, they VIII do no
work, that is, pay no tax; while the
second district will work its tax and
be compelled to levy and work a
special tax to keep their roads bare
ly passable. Seeing the injustice Of
this, they take but little interest in
the roads, and less in trying to &C.
complish any work. Hence, work
ing the roads under our present sys-
tenn is farce. 1t is simply going
on the road to see how little and
how poorly you can do it. The law

This was Mr.. Coles subject at the
afternoon session; had much expe-
rience in raising sheep; had kept from
500 to 600 at time, and for one who
wished to raise them in large numbers,
he believed that the Merino is the best
sheep to raise. Many questions were
asked the speaker and satisfactorily
answered by him.

in and DO equal to anything. There is
ono thing to be said for the people OF
Denver, however, They fully appreciate
tho benefits that will accrue to them
from such an influx of visitors. En-
Mayor Lee, of that city, writing from
Atlantic City, says: Denver is the
best advertised city in America. Tho
Knights Templar from all over the
country are laying aside money for tho
trip next year. l fear Denver people
don't realize what n throng is coming.
Unless a proper place is prepared for
their meeting and sufficient hotel ac-
Communications provided it will be an in-
estimable damage to Colorado" The
News, in commenting on this letter, says
that no such opportunity to advertise
Denver and the whole state of Colorado
was ever presented. This shows a due
appreciation of the benefits that will ac-
crue from such n gathering. Are our
Helena people fully alive to the advan-
tages next years big convention will
bring this city? They have nobly re-
sponded to the demands for accommo.
dations for tho visitors. Will they show
by the reception accorded to the visiting
committee of the National Educational
association next week that they fully
the responsibility devolving
upon them?

AS WILL DO seen by the advertise
ment elsewhere printed the artesian
we'll company is ready to receive bids
for sinking a we'll to a depth of 1000
feet, if it is necessary to go so far before
water is found. The progress of the
work will be watched with the closest
interest, as the experiment will %conclus-
lively demonstrate whether subterranean
reservoirs underlie formations like that
of tho Prickly Pear valley. The people
of the entire state are vitality interested
in the finding of water in this venture.
One successful we'll will mean thous-
auds Of others in other valleys Of the
state. The impetus given to agriculture
in California and Colorado by the dis
covery Of similar wells has been one of
the most remarkable industrial devel-
opments of the the times. Let us hope
that like good fortune is III store for
Montana.

BLAINE NOT SHUT OUT

The attempted the Harrison organs
% handicap Mr.. Blaine in the presiden-
tial race with all sorts of unfair condi-
tions is bringing forth a storm Of pro-
tests from the friends of the secretary
of state. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
commenting on the fact that Mr.. Blaine
is the first choice of a large majority of
the party for the next presidency, says:
"The pretense that so long as Mr.. Blaine
remains in President Harrison's cabinet
loyalty to tho president will prevent
him from allowing his name to go before
the next national republican convention
has no foundation in reason and certain
ly less than no authority of historical
precedent. Mr.. Blaine is bound to do
his duty as secretary OF state to the
best of his ability to enable the presi-
dent to conduct the government sue
cessfully. This is all the loyalty that
Mr.. Blaine, as secretary of state, owes
either the country or Mr.. Harrison, and
MI. Blaine is not bound as a gentleman
to refuse to let his name 90 before the
republican national convention because
certain republicans, chiefly personal
friends and office holders of President
Harrison, wish him nominated for a sec
ond term: o is Mr.. Blaine bound, as a
gentleman, to resign his office as secre-
tary of state on account of i'll health to
discharge the duties"
The Post-1ntelligencer shows that
Daniel Webster, when secretary of state,
allowed his friends to present his name
as a candidate against President Fill
moro in 1852, and did not offer to resign
from the cabinet either before or after
the meeting Of the national convention.
In fact there would be no precedent for
Mr.. Blaine's retirement from office
should his friends desire him to become
a candidate against President Harrison
next year. The efforts Of the Harrison
organs to force Mr.. Blaine to show his
hand show to what desperation they are
driven in behalf of their candidate
Afraid to let Mr.. Harrison's case rest on
its merits they are attempting to drive
his possible rival out of the field. Mr.
Harrison cannot secure a denomination
by such methods and il he hopes to wiz
he cannot too quickly see to it that hi
organs change their tone.

The Knights Templar, numbering
10000, voted to hold their next conclave
in Denver and that city is full of per
plexity as to how it can take care of the
visitors. Three rival schemes for an
auditorium have been projected and the
clash of conflicting interests threatens to
prevent the completion of any one Of
them. We shall do these things better
in Helena. There will be but one audi
forum project and that will be carried
out. Private interests will not be con-
sidered, but the whole town will pull to-
gether. Ii Denver finds she cannot care
for the knights, Helena will undertake
the job. After w have entertained

HAVING sufficiently impressed Mr..
Harrison with his power by swinging the
republican state convention of Pennsyl-
vania for Blaine, will Quay continue to
follow the white plume, a thing he never
did before, or will he be off for fresh

Logan at Bull Run.

1t is well known that John A.
Logan, who was member of Congress
at the time the war began, left Wash.
ington when he saw there was going
to be fight, and seizing a musket
walked all the way to Bull Run, where
he arrived just in time to take part in
the battle.
He had on swallowtail coat, but
he stood up to the rack as long as any,
body did. He was back in Washing
ton next morning, a good deal out Of
breath, and was telling his fellow
Congressman all about it
"Who gave you this account of the
battle ?" asked a member from the
North Woods of New York.
"Why, I was there myself" said
Logan. The New Yorker evidently
had not heard the news, for he seemed
a little mystifed, and asked, as if
wishing to solve the mystery of Logan s
sudden temperance "Are the cars
running ?"
NO." said Logan, "the cars amt
running, but every other blank thing
in the State of Virginia is, as near as
l could find OUT Chicago Herald

nant political party might use the
clouds to promote its own interests by
drowning out the meetings Of its OPP
ponents, or by keeping them from the
polls on election days. The bulls
and the bears of the Produce Ex-
change might tamper with the rain
agents. and so promote their schemes
for cornering the market. In fact.
there is no end to the possible abuses
that might arise from putting the
rains under control of politicians.
There is no occasion as yet to be
unduly alarmed on account of the
possibilities here recited. The feasi-
bility of producing rain to order has
not yet been demonstrated, and it is
very likely that we may go on for .
long time relying for rain, as we have
done heretofore, upon the bounty of
Heaven, which, though it often fails
to accord us all that We desire, is
much safer reliance in such matters
than the capricious favor of Govern
ment employees. Louisville Courier

The Laborer should be Honored.


The real dignity of LABOR is well
symbolized and set forth in those
single acts at the beginning or end of
a great work which represent to the
Imagination the whole enterprise.
The corner stone of a great build
ing is generally laid by some official
dignitary who, in an unaccustomed
apron and with trowel which he
uses clumsily, makes a pretense ot
doing the actual work Of putting the
stone in place. Crowds stand about
to witness the work, and orations are
made and hymns sung.
The knocking away of the prop
which sends vessel off the ways and
into the water is an event of equal
consequence and interest, because it
represents the noble task of construct
ing great ship.
When one of the greatest engineer
ing works of all time was completed
the construction ofthe Pacific rail-
road-it was regarded as a great
honor to drive the last spike that
bound the last rail to the earth and
the spike which served at least tenn
porarily for the work was made of
silver.
Emperors, kings and presidents
start with their own hands the
machinery of great ind ustrial exhibi-
tions, themselves typical to high de.
gree of the Importance of manual
labor.
In certain sense it would be more
fitting that these ceremonies, which
concentrate into a single instant's act
long periods of hard labor, should be
performed by one of the real work.
ingmen who are engaged upon the
enterprise. 1t is they who do the
work, and they might we'll claim that
the honor of the key ceremony be-
longs to them.
This was what was done, indeed,
when the first blow of the pick was
struck in the construction of the
buildings for the Worlds fair of 1898
at Chicago.-Youth's Companion.
