RECENT occurrences in Helena show
the necessity of the city. the county or
the state providing some proper place of
confinement for youthful offenders. 1t
has happened frequently that boys of IA
years and even younger have been ar
rested for petty offenses, which, under
the laws of the state, call for punish
ment by confinement in Jail or p%eniten-
tlary. To send them to such places to
associate with the older men and women
who are convicted of serious %offenses is
to forever destroy all possible chance Of
reformation. TO turn them loose, which
Is the only other alternative, is to give
them a very poor opinion of the law and
make them callous to the commission of
crime. II a regularly organized lnstitu-
tion for the reformation of youthful
wrong-doers would cost too much at
present, it is suggested that the city
might rent Il building and place it in
charge of a competent matron and su-
p~erintendent. 1t would do for q tempo
rary reform school.

THE WEATHER.
MnNrANA DEMOCRATS.

The work Of the state convention at
Boxeman was we'll done and its intiu-
ence for good will DO ~far-reaching. The
gentlemen selected to represent the
democracy Of the state in the national
convention at Chicago are in every re-
spect worthy the confidence reposed in
them and will execute their commission
with fidelity and intelligence. It is
hard 70 point out in what way the dec
laration Of principles could be improved.
Matters Of state concern are most felic-
-itously handled and the voice Of the
convention expressed in words that are
direct and positive. In no uncertain
tones did the convention declare itself
on any Of the subjects treated. The
platform Is admirable. The personnel
;of the convention is matter of pride.
Leading citizens of every community in
the state were there-gentlemen who
have seen the magnificent development
VI this young state, and a part Of which
they were. Knowing the thoughts and
preferences Of their constituencies, the
will Of the people was executed, embod-
led in the platform and respected in the
proceedings Of the convention.
Well done, gentlemen.

The Great Falls Tribune calls atten-
tion TO the fact that "every one who
buys q pan or a tin bucket or a can of
vegetables or a tin cup or plate, or any
other article made Of tinplate, contrib
utes toward an annual fund of nearly
el8.0O0,OO0 to encourage the home man
ufacture Of tinplate, and though this en-
enlargement has been going on now for
nearly a year, we are still importing
about all the article we need. This
el8,OOO,OOO is a tax upon the poor of the
country which they cannot afford to pay,
but they must pay it all the same" The
Tribune's statement was called out by
the press dispatch from Minneapolis
that each member Of the Blaine brigade
wore q bright tin button upon his coat
stamped with the name of James G.
Blaine, and that they were worn by the
delegation as an argument IN favor OF
the Mckinley tax on toe foreign article;
that tax must be right, for the buttons
prove it.
"Those bright tin buttons are simply
FURNISHED lies. They are intended to
convey a false impression and they con
vey it. They are intended to deceive the
credulous and ignorant and they deceive
them. Each button is a bright little
lie. Facts and figures prove them to be
such and facts and figures are obtaina-
Bile for the purpose"

stage. A delightful time is generally
anticipated, and the committees have
all the details well in hand to provide
for the comfort and enjoyment of their
guests. Spectators will be seated where
they can enjoy the spectacle without in
terfering with the enjoyment of those
who have paid for the privilege of the
floor, and thus the comfort of all will be
greatly increased. Friend Edwards

CONGRESS
At Last Taxes Action.

A bill has been introduced at WASH
ington requiring all baking powder con-
tanning alum and ammonia to be so la
beled. This is step in the right di-
rection, and has been long foreshadow-
ed by the action of state legislatures,
boards of health, food commissioners,
etc, in this matter. The bill affords
needed protection to the public, for the
evidence as to the injurious effects of
alum and ammonia is very heavy; but
it will nevertheless be fought bitterly by
the manufacturers whom it affects who
are accustomed to sell their goods as
"pure Cream of Tartar" absolutely
pure" etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses drug in his powder, the
name Of which he does not want to
have printed on his label, 1t is prima
facia evidence that there is something
wrong. We hope the subject will be
vigorously prosecuted all over the coun-
try, not only as regards baking powder
but also all other food adulterations.
This bill may incidentally benefit the
makers of pure articles, but If it should,
this is only an additional point in its
favor.

Democratic County Committee Meeting.

Democratic County Committee Meeting,
The democratic county central COM
mittee met here last Saturday with a
large attendance. w. N. Knox tender
ed his resignation as chairman of the
committee, because he was prevented
from doing justice to the duties of the
position owing to pressure of business.
On motion, that old war-horse, G. w.
Case, was elected to that position by ac-
clamation. Grangevile precinct was
given two additional representatives,
and Cottonwood one additional repre-
sentative on the county central commit
tee, and the chair named Cy. Overman
and t. w. Girton for Grangeville pre-
cinct. and B. F. Davis for Cottonwood.
The committee then proceeded to dis
cuss the idea of organizing branch of
the National Association of Democratic
Clubs, and after speeches and express
ions of opinion by several members, the
committee resolved to formulate a call,
stating the objects of the club and ap-
pealing to all citizens in sympathy
Herewith, and who desire to affiliate
with the democratic party in carrying
out the same in national, state and local
affairs, to attend mass meeting on
Saturday, February 81. and enrol them
selves as members of the club. The
call is published elsewhere in our ad.
vertising columns. The meeting then
adjourned, amid much enthusiasm.
