Has Major Eaton choked himself while
e~ndeavoring to pull on his shirt over his
head after the collar had been buttoned.
or is he simply nursing his wrath tor an
opportunity to prove that Register

on his official shoes by pulling the leg of

Montana has built 127 miles of rail
road since January 1st of this year. Our
state is improving very rapidly. 1t is
only thirteen years since the first engine
entered, but nov Montana is crossed it's
full length by two lines of railway, and
has many short lines connecting It's busl-
ness centers and opening the mines and
valleys to a prosperous future.-BOze-

The democratic state convention has
been called by Chairman Collins to meet
at Great Falls on the 10Th day of Sep
TENDER, In the call the statement is
made that the delegates and alternates
to the convention will be the same as
those In the BOZeman convention. The
chairman has done only his duty. 1t
was understood when selected that such
was the case. We think, however, that
the various county conventions should
meet a few days previous to the state
convention and fill any vacancies that
may ,Xist in their delegations. We
make tie suggestion because we wait to
see every portion of the state fully repre-
sented.--Townsend Messenger.
The call for the democratic state con
vention says that the delegates and al
ternates to the state convention held in
Bozeman are the delegates and alter
mates to the state convention to be held
in Great Falls. We understand the re-
cent ruling of Chairman Collins to be.
however, that if any of the counties
want to elect a new set of delegates for
Great Falls they are at liberty to do so.
AS we understand it, most of the Jul
ties are satisfied to send to Great Falls
the delegates who went to Bozeman.-

The Great Falls TRIBUNE is the only
daily newspaper in the state which, so
far, has devoted much editorial space to
the discussion of the capital question.
Naturally the TRIBUNE favors the town
to which it owes its bread and butter,
and considering the meagerness of the
grounds it has to work upon, it is MAX
ing an able and a creditable fight

The Townsend Messenger has seen its
error and came out last week a straight
forward democratic sheet. The cam
paign of education is bearing fruit by
retaining the erring ones. Welcome,
brother. to the paths of virtue and rccti-
tute; shoulder to shoulder in oneness of
purpose, we will drive from power this
monster OF corruption and oppression

Carter sent us the fateful Sheridan
two years ago, but no appreciable repub-
lican gains, at least not enough to save
Carter, were noted that year. Our peo-
pie want something more substantial
than Sheridan's frOth. Fancy an intel,
ligent and sincere speaker standing bc-
fore an audience advocating the McKin-
ley tariff because, forsOoth, carpenters,
plumbers, brick masOns and locomotive
engineers get better wages here than in
England! We do not believe there was
a man in the a%ssemblage who did not
know that in the industries the orator
named the wage-earner docs not get one
cent OF protection. Helena %Independ-
