a. few years ago revelations OF a SINH
lar character were made involving quite
a number OF members OF the United
States in connection with what was
known al the Credit Mobiler scandal,
But the people Of this country did pot
for an instant consider the dishonesty
tof elective officers a fault Of popular
government. They admitted that thoy
had been mistaken in mon, and at once
turned ont those who had betrayed their
trust. In this country there is absolute
enforcement between institutions and
men. In Frace, it is feared, the idea of
popular government has not developed
SO far. The French voteYs have a peace-
full remedy for their present ills in their
W hands, and it is to be hoped that
they will exercise it and not resort to
the perilous expedient Of revolution, as
they have so often done in the past.

CRISIS IN

The astonishing disclosures OF wide
spread v~enality among deputies and SEN
ators in France may have much more
serious effects than the personal dis
grace OF the bribe-takers. 1t is even
feared that revolution may como from
it, with the possibility OF the re-estab-
iishment of q monarchy in that repub-
lie. The French people are prone to be-
lleve that the dishonesty of their chosen
representatives is a fault of their system
of government, an idea which could
never prevail in the United States. In
stead OF simply turning the rascals out
OF Office, as would be done in this coun-
try, they may take it into their heads to
attempt to ecure redress by making
violent changes in the Offices them
selves. Revolution in France at this
time would be exceedingly dangerous to
the growth Of republican sentiment IN
that country, as neighboripg monar-
ohles would do all IN their power to
compass the overthrow Of the French
popular government and establish a
king at the head of affairs. 1t is hardly
probable that the reports OF the condi-
ton OF affairs in France that reach this
country adequately set forth the danger
impending. At all times, with excuse
and without excuse, a large proportion
of the population Of Paris is ready foI
rebellion, and when the excitement is
intensified rs it has been for the last
few days by the ecandalous revelations
OF corruption in high places, all that il

YES, by all means increase the whisky
tax from 80 cents to Sl,25 a gallon, as
Congressman SCOTT, of Illinois, proposes,
or, better yet, put it up toS2.50a gallon.
Tax it by all means. There is too much
of it around, anyhow, and if the dealers
have to water it to be able to sell it at
prevailing prices the harm from drinking
it will be SO much the less. OF course
the dealers with large stocks on hand
when the tax wen into effect, would
make lots OF money on the rise, but the
government would soon begin to derive
enormous revenue, and ii. needs it.

THE ELRcTIoN IN MONTANA.

The Official canvass affords material
for an interesting study of election re-
suits in this state. The figures are full
Of surprises. Before the election, men
Of all parties concurred in the opinion
that the populist electoral ticket would
get more votes by many hundreds than
the state or congressional tickets Of that
party. But the reverse is true. Ken
nedy, the third party candidate for gov
ernor, received AGO votes more than the
highest candidate for elector on his
ticket, and 64S more than the lowest.
Nearly all the candidates below COVER
nor ran ahead OF the electors. This
shows that several hundred populists
voted for the Harrison electors. This
was notably the case iu Silver Bow
county.
Another interesting fact is that Rick
ards, who was elected governor by a
plurality of 537, received only 1887
votes, while Blake, for chief justice, re-
ceived 1S,449 votes. Only 24,579 votes
were past against Blake, while 25,oS7
were cast against Richards. Had there
been a fusion against Richards as against
Blake. Richards would have been beaten
by 1857 plurality. Blake ran ll5 votes
ahead of Hartman, who wac elected to
congress-, 1900 votes ahead Of Haskell,
who was elected attorney-general, and
ahead of Cook and Webster, the candi-
dates for auditor and clerk Of the su-
preme court.
It seems strange that the interest in
the election of governor should have
absorbed the voters so much that 1853 OF
them who voted for governor neglected
to vote for congressman, yet such is the
fact. Mr.. Hartman ran behind all the
candidates on his state ticket, but man:
aged to squeeze through by 172 plural
ity.
The plurality of 1929 for Haskell is
one of the surprises. He only polled
1906 votes out of a total of 43,448, but
Miss Knowles, the populist candidate,
got 11,465 votes, the majority Of them
being drawn from the democrats, and
Day, the popular young democrat whose
election everybody looked for, suffered
defeat in consequence.
The highest vote for any candidate,
except Pemberton, was 1925 for Steere,
republican, for superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and the next highest
was 18,907, cast for Rotwitt, republican,
for secretary Of state; then comes 49,
851 for Hall, republican candidate for
presidential e%lector.
It is impossible to tell from the off
official figures on which side the party
preponderance naturally lies. The pop
ulist vote reached just about the pro-
portions that republicans and democratic
estimated and was about one-half the
figure given by the ~populist managers
themselves. In Silver Bow county it is
evident that the populists drew at least
three-fourths of their strength from the
democrats, but it is probable that in
other parts Of the state the populist
vote was drawn about evenly from the
old parties. Montana remains an un-
certain state. II the democratic party
in Silver Bow can be recognized and
held up to it's work in the future there
is no question but that the democrats
will be able to redeem the state. That
is the situation that confronts the party
to-day.

A COURAGEOUS DUDE.

He Stops a Runaway Horse and Saves
Two Children
A most daring rescue of two children
IN runaway wagon was affected Thurs
day evening by an unknown young
gentleman on Jersey avenue Two
children had climbed into Wickeps pickle
wagon at Railroad and Jersey avenues.
BY throwing the lines around and strik-
ing the horse with whip they scared the
animal. and he dashed up Jersey aven no
at break-neck speed. The children
screamed for help, but no one made the
slightest attempt to check the runaway.
Between First and Second streets a
well dressed young man, presumably one
Of that fraternity dubbed dudes. dropped
his cane and gave chase. Overtaking the
wagon he jumped in at the back and en-
deavored to stop the horse with the fines.
ifBut rs he tugged at the horses one was
broken. This caused the horse to increase
his speed. The young man finally
climbed upon the horses back. and by
tugging on the bit and the horse's ears,
stopped him at the corner Of Jersey ave-
nue. and Sixth street. The children were
taken from the wagon and sent home
The unknown hero made his escape IN
the crowd that gathered immediately
after the horse was stopped.

M'PHERSON'S PROTESTS.
He Defeats a Snap Attempt to
Force a Silver Vote.

WASHINGTON, July !, 1S92.-Seuatorial
courtesy has received another blow in the
house of its friends. While there are
few members present Wednesday, un ami
nous consent was asked by Mr.. Stewart
TO take vote at two O'Clock today on the
silver bill, and this was apparently grant
ed. Yesterday Senator Mcpherson of New
jersey came into the Senate and gave
notice that he did not respect the order
because it was made not only in his alb
sence. but in the absence of everv mem
Der of the Finance Committee, which re-
ported the bill adversely. and also in the
absence of several members known to be
anxious to speak on the bill.
This notice from Mr.. Mcpherson was
denounced by Mr.. Morgan as Outrage
ous," and by Mr.. Stewart as the worst
blow that had ever been given to Sena-
torial courtesv. 1t appears, however, that
sharp practice was resorted to yesterday
in securing unanimous consent, and that
Mr.. Mcpherson is amply justified in re-
fusing to stand by any agreement OBJ
tanned in that manner.
It was agreed before the Minneapolis
Convention to postpone further considera-
tion of the bill until after the Senators
returned from that aud the Chicago
Conventions. Mr.. Palmer and some
other Senators have not got back yet, and
Mr.. Mcpherson only arrived today.
