The acrimony displayed by some of
u valued contemporaries in would-be
capital sites, is to be deplored. Why
car they not tell the truth and be good
natured about it?
Surely they are not simple enough to
think that the voters of Montana will
accept their views that Helena is a flag
station on the Northern Pacific, and
that she wants to annex Chicago as a
suburb. The people of this state have
a fairly good knowledge of the "Qneen
City" which they visit oftener than any
Montana town. They know her superb
resources, her commanding advantages
in the way of railroads, hotels and, in
deed, all that is to be desired in seeking
a location for the capital. They know
more than that that Helena is the most
cosmopolitan city in the northwest; that
it is the banking, social and wholesale
center of this great section.
Now, then, what benefits are to be de,
rived to other towns by this foolish
newspaper barking against Helena.

to ten per cont.
Peck also says that glass cutters 70,
ceived an advance Of about seven pei
cent, in their wages last year, but the
mon in the shops Of Thomas Archer at
aoi East Twenty-third street | n New
York, say that their wages have no,
been increased in three years.
In the brick manufactures, Peek him
self says in his report that there has
been no increase whatever.
All these facts go to show that his re-
port is absolut Ny worthless. 1t is a
tissue of falsehoods from fret to last,
and is not worth considering. II it were
true it would be OF no interest to Mon
tanians. Indeed, until one OF the re-
publican orators or newspapers will
point to a single instance where the
wages OF Montanians have been raised
by the Mckinley bill we will assume
that that measure has been of no use
whatever to the people of this state.

A LOVELY TIME WAS HAD.

Bill Hucks, the item chaser on the Willow Crick
Gazette,
Was the likeliest hustler that old man McCray
could get.
As a runaway reporter or a writer up of shows .
Bill never had an equal, nor a rival, goodness
knows.
So We sent him up a invite to a party susie give,
And he writ a piece about 1t that Yves fine. as
surs's v q live.
But all | kin remember is, I'VE hardly need to
add. ,-
The guests agreed at leaving that q lovely time
was had"
Oh, yes-nov come to think of it, her NAV
a cooked up some cake
And pies and floatin' island truck that Susie
helped to make,
And they was pickle-lily, too, and bets and jell
and jam.
And slaw, and chicken salad. and some sam
witches of ham,
And them Bill said was .'viands,'' which in
writin' up he owned
Made a tempting f,ast of good things, and the
table fairly eroaned.
And when the wee ema' hours were come, we
hardly need to add,
The CUES 9 agreed at leaving that a lovely time
was had
Old Bill has gone fl ON Willer Crick; the Gazette
Is no more.
For old McCray has stolen away to find the
golden shore,
And Susie has been married off for 10! these
many years,
And some of them that come that night have
quit this vale of tears:
But NAV has in her scrapbook-'lone with little
Itu"y's death.
And the 70 ne about the baby and the accident
to SIth-
The pecs about the party. and to-day it makes
us glad

had"

So some of our Great Falls friends
think that a vote for Helena will be q
vote thrown away. There will be a diff
ference in their views In the morning

be stated that no town in Montana

location of the capital at Helena than
u sister city on the north.

The Portland daily press., 1892-09-15
THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT AND THE
ELECTION.

It is undoubtedly true that the great
majority of the Democrats who support
ed the Australian ballot bill did so simply
because they believed it would help
their party in the elections. The Demo
cratic organs and leaders had shouted
corruption for SO many years, had so con-
tinuously and SO long charged all their
defeats to bribery and intimidation that
the rank and file had become thoroughly
impregnated with the idea that Re-
publican victories were habitually
bought or bulldozed. So when a
new system of voting was proposed
which was calculated to make bribery
and intimidation vastly more difficult if
not impossible they thought they saw in
it, sure key to victory.
On the other hand many of the Repub-
licans who opposed the bill undoubtedly
did so because they feared that it would
hurt their party. Their reasoning was
this: The party in power, which has to
appoint public officials and settle ques-
tions. is certain to make many enemies.
Disappointed applicants for office, OF
whom there are always a great many,
naturally feel sore and spiteful, and men
who have been injuriously affected by
any legislative enactment are likely to
feel resentful. These men, who will be
numerous, argued some Republican OPP
ponents of the law, if they get a chance
to do so secretly will be likely to ''knife'
the candidates of THE party responsible
for their disappointment or injury.
Personal dislikes and jealousies will also,
these Republicans said, make themselves
felt more under secret ballot. In
short many Republicans were afraid OF
what may be called the "spite'' vote.
Well the law has been tried and it can
be truthfully said that it has disappoint-
ed the hopes of the Democrats and the
fears of the Republicans. The result has
demonstrated conclusively that the BIZ
ennial shout of corruption that has is
sued from Democratic Threats was en-
tirely without reason. There is nothing
in the returns to show that any consider
able number of men who have
voted the Republican ticket in the
past voted the Democratic ticket
on Monday whereas there must have
been abundant and unmistakable evidence
in that direction, if the Democratic
charges of wholesale bribery and corrup-
ton had been true. Take the vote OF
the city of Portland for example. The
Argus has alleged for years that the Re
publicans here have bribed and in
Inundated many voters. If this had
been true it would have followed

SHERIFF CRAM.
TZion'S Advocate.

[Zion'S Advocate.
The reelection of Sheriff Cram OF
Cumberland county is matter for re-
ioicing on the part of all the friends OF
law and order. The sheriff, during his
term of office, has discharged his duties
with regard to the prohibitory law as
well as to all other laws. This faithful
ness, singularly enough, has brought
down upon him the enmity of the anti
prohibitionists, and their activity has
been manifest throughout the campaign.
But the sheriff has been reelected not
withstanding the strength of the opposl-
ton, and the state of things with which
we have been favored during the past
two years will be continued. Long live
Sheriff Cram!
