CITIZENS KNOW THEIR DUTY.

Tuesdays election developed a most
gratifying condition Of public sentiment
in this city. 1t very plainly showed that
the average voter is fully alive to the
Importance Of interesting himself in
municipal affairs, and that he evil
IDENTIFY believes it his duty to
make politics clean, respectable and
honest. II this element holds
its strength as manifested there
need be no fear of the future safety Of
municipal government in Helena.
In every community there is a certain
GLASS Of citizens who believe that con-
tact with politics is a sort Of moral pol
luton which detiles all who approach
party conventions or elections. While
recognizing the value of good govern
ment and deprecating the abuses Of
those who are in charge, it W occurs
to them that they are responsible for
such conditions. This is why city adj
ministrations in so many cities have
to be used by bad mon to
rob the taxpayers who elect them.
just so 500 as this idea that
is something offensive is Cotton
rid Of, just then municipal government
becomes what it should be-. The voters
franchise carries with it serious respon-
sibilitles, and if the good people of the
fail to appreciate their duties to
themselves and their city, to them must
the reward. ..z
Happily this element is confined with
in very close limits in Helena. The tax
payers have shown themselves ready to
respond to demands, whether they are
existing in the highest circles Of society
working for days wages. Too much
meaning cannot be attached to the value
this sentiment, for it carries the
prophecy Of an honest municipality in
The future.

Dolly Yarden' was the play at Ming's
last night. with Patti Rosa as Dolly. The
play is not r deep one, but there is a lot of
rollicking fun, while all the speciality feat
ures are good. There was a very good
house, the people went to laugh, and they
had every cause to do SO. Patti Rosa is a
good deal after the style of Lolita. As
Dolly Warden, the neice of a sedats Eng
lish vicar, she manages to keep an entire
household on the jump, besides having all
the men fall in love with her. Scattered
all through the play are songs and dances
and other specialties, all of them new. and
all admirably done. Next to Patti Rosa,
Joe Cawthorne az Otto Wagner, man of ali
work, caught tho house. Will Mandeville,
a lieutenant in the navy, is alao good, and
and the company as a whole is n strong one.
There will be no change of bill tonight,
and those who enjoy a good laugh and like
a clean play, given by first GLASS people,
should not fail to secure seats.

.LEvELAND,s GROWING STRENGTH.

CLEvELAND's GROWING STRENGTH.
The belief that Grover Cleveland
should be renominated is fast driving
other candidates out Of the field. 1t
is a sentiment much stronger than has
ever appealed to the democracy for a
standard bearer. It is not confined to
one section, but is found in every cor
ner Of the country. It is the feeling
that very often displaces the schemes
of politicians and brings victory where
they fail. The democrats of this coun~
try recognize in the ex-president not
only a great personality, a man who has
earned the recognition of every one
who believes in the highest type Of
good government, who has convictions
and will stand by them at all times, but
they find him to-day the great leader CT
a great cause. They have decided to
fight the political battle this year on the
line of tariff reform, and in this contest
who shall be the marshal if not the man
who has first identified his name in this
cause Of the people? 1t is quite useless
to consider at this time the probability
of Senator Hills nomination at Chicago.
He is not the man for the time. No
matter what his record may be as a vote
producer in New York state, there is an
undeniable sentiment among the ma
jorit y of democrats that he would not
command very high respect as a presi-
Dental candidate before the intelligent
voters of the country. Other possible
candidates have thus far aroused very
little enthusiasm, although any one
would attract hearty support from the
party.
The conditions and the cause make
this a year for leaders, and the demo-
cratic party needs it's greatest standard
bearer at tho head of the ranks. The
party is not confined to New York state,
and it will accept no dictation at Chi
cago from the New York delegation. Ii
the democrats at that time feel that
Grover Cleveland is the man for the
hour they will have their way.

GEN. FRANK HATToN, ex-postmaster
general and now owner of the Wash
ington Post, gives a rather discouraglng
view of the republican situation in
Iowa. He says: "Iowa is about lost
to the republican party. The repub-
hcan party have done all in their
power to throw the state into the
arms of democracy by defeating the
Catch bill. They will repent at their
leisure, however, for the next legisla-
ture will be democratic, and one of the
first acts will be the selection of a dem
ocratic United States senator to sue
coed Senator Wilson. 1t will be an easy
song and dance play for them. So far
has this decentralization of the party
proceeded that it is to be feared the
state will go democratic on a national
issue"

The supreme court yesterday handed
down a decision of much importance.
1t arose from a case in appeal to test the
legality of the statute requiring physi-
clans to be examined by a state board
before obtaining licenses to practice.
The court OF final resort very Justly
holds that the law is obligatory. Within
the past two years there have been sew
eral suits the object of which was to
evade the state laws regulating the prac-
lice of medicine. The average layman
fully approaching the necessity of such
regulations will find little to criticise in
the laws of Montana. All physicians
having diplomas who come to this state
to practice medicine are required to pass
an examination, which by nj mean
abstruse, is sufficiently rigid to de-

TUESDAY was q democratic day in
Montana. In the republican city Of
Billings they elected the solid demo
cratic ticket for the first time. The
credit for a good part Of the victory be-
longs to the Billings Times, which has
made a fine fight. The Times is a
credit to Billings in every way, and
when a good newspaper starts out to
make a fight for a good cause its work
tells. Editor Matheson and the demo-
Gratis of his city have our heartiest con-
R%ratulations.

A PRIVILEGE ABUSED.
DR.. benson Shows that Well-to-Do PEOPLE
Cali on the City DisIensary.

DR.. III. A benson read paper last even
ing before the Marion County Medical So
ciety which was of more than passing
moment to the Taxpayers of this city, as
showing the class of people who avail
themselves of the free medicines and free
medical treatment afforded by the City
Dispensary. The Doctor has recently in
vestigated one hundred cases, and from this
investigation he drcw the conclusion tn at
from 40 to 40 per cent of those treated arc
persons amply able to pay. His visits were
made III company with one of the ply ST.
cIans of the dispensary.
Twenty cases he visited during the past
four days he found to be fairly well-to- do
people, the average of those visited
being worth $1,000. He discovered
that comparatively few people avaIled
themselves of the services of the dispen-
sary physicians. Among those visited was
an old woman who owns two houses and
lots. She lives with a daughter who owns
the house III which she dwells and is build
ing a new house beside il. Another patient
visited asked the dispensary doctor how
soon he thought he THE sick man would
be able to 90 ont tn his farm. He also
noted among others O patient who came TO
the dlspensary yesterday morning and
asked for medicine sufficient to last h. r
while she was away on a summer vacation

AN AWFUL DEATH.
Peter Schsub, Sufferer from Di,eeSe, Com
mitS Suic de.

Peter Schaub, n German gardener, living
north OF Emerichsville, committed suicide
at > o'clock yesterday morning. He had
been sick for several years and had been
growing worse lately. Monday night he
was very sick and had several spasms. He
complained TO his wife of the intense pain
his sickness caused him and said he conld
not stand it much longer. Yesterday morn
ing he was still complaing of great pain
and his wife wanted TO stay at home with
him and not make tho usual trip to market.
but he persuaded her not TO remain. saying
he would like for her to get him some
medicine.
Some time after she left Schaub went into
the smoke house and blew OFT his entire
face from the chin up with "a shotgun. The
manner of killing can only be- surmised,
but IL is supposed from appearances that
he deliberately loaded the gun. and lying
upoD the floor, placed the butt of the gun
against barrel and discharged it by means
of u string attached to the trigger. The
smoke house was strewn with pieces of
flesh and spattered with his brains. HIS
wife was not permitted TO see the mangled
body yesterday for tear the shock would
be too great for her.

An Important Meeting.

The directors of the Commercial Club
yesterday received the reports of the vari-
Gus committees The treasury showed q
balance of $4,000. Eight new members
were received. Mr.. Griffith called atten-
tion to the fact that the withdrawal of the
Indiana National Bank from the clearing
house would show largely reduced re-
port, and would lead TO an erroneous idea
as TO the amount of the business done in
this city. lie urged that measures be
taken To provide report of clcarings not
only from those banks in the clearing
house, but also all those not connected
with IL. The directors gave their approval
and ordered the subject referred TO the
committee on city interests for considera-
ton and report.
