DEMOCRATIC ExTRAvAGENCE.

The republican press has been making
a great howl over what it is pleased to
call the extravaganza Of the democratic
house. Not a single paper has had the
candor or decency to acknowledge the
truth, that the democratic house was
compelled to provide for the enormous
expenditures left to it as an inheritance
by Gar Reeds billion dollar congress.
These inherited expenditures, made un-
avoidable by the wild legislation of the
last republican congress, amount to near
ly sSO,0OO,0O0. The items are shown in

At the conclusion of Mr.. Di1on's ad-

tanning many hits on local candidates tina
was loudly a%pplauded.
Pot. J. C. Mahony, democratic candi-
date for state superintendent of public in
struction, was introduced by Gov. Hauser
as a man who had never been
beaten when before the people
IS a candidate for office. Prof.
Nahony ia a young man of fine presence,
an easy and graceful speaker, and speedily
won the attention and approval of his hear

common schools and vigorously retuted
the Instructions Of his republican opponent
that he was not q sui porter of the public
school system.
The appearance of Governor Toole was
the signal for an outbuIs st Of applause that
was long continued. The governor beRar
with q graceful tribute TO hIr. Dixon as {
loyal and faithful representative who haC
been too modest to give his own part in the
legislation of the past yosr the prominence
ii deserved. He supplemented MIR. Dixon'i
account of republican hostility to the min.
era land bill by giving his own experience
with q similar measure whose passage b.
mad secured through a democratic housI
only to have it strau9led to death in a e.
publican senate. Ihe failure of Montana
to return Mr.. Dixon after his gallant hgh
for the bill would be construed rs meanin.
that the people of this state were indifer
ent 10 this measure which was SO vital Il
their interests.
Gov. Yoole next turned hia attention {,
the parliamentary record of Lieut.. Gov
klckards and his campaign of arltnmetica
explanations. He gave that gentleman
credit for personal integrity. but he stood
there to condemn unqualihedly his publ,
conduct.

Congressman w. w. Dixon, the first
speaker, was received with great applause.
he began with a statement of the work
that had been accomplished and that it had
been sought to accomplish during the Fifty
second congress-, in the interest of Mon
tana. He gave what credit he conaidered
due to Col. w. F. Sanders and Commodore
u. c. Power. On the general work of CEN
Rress he told of the passage by the house
of representatives of the mapy bills
which were IN the interest of the people of
Montana and Of the country at large. and
how these beneficial measures had been
throttled in the republican senate. He re.
viewed the history OF the mineral land bill
and clearly demonstrated to his audience
that 1t was that branch OF congress with
the uniformly republican majority that was
always willing to stand behind the big cor
porations in their fight to wregt from the
people their heritage. He showed hoy,
for years the citizens of Montana of
Gil political parties had petioned the ma
tlonRi conQres for the passage of a mine al
land bill that would definitely settle the
rights of the people of this state in regard
TO mineral lands which are being claimed
by the railrosds. He spoke of the work n,
Gov. Toole while a delegate in congress in
favor of mineral land legislation, and how
IA meagure OF that kind had received il.
death blow in the republican senate. Con
G essman Dixon then reviewed. the history
of his own mineral lend bill, which
he introduced in the house OF
representatives in March Of this wear

there was also ground for the diasatisfao-
tion with existing conditions. Protection
from n republican standpoint favora the
few at The expense of the great masses Of
the people. The protected industries ara
places where the lowest wages obtain and
whore lockouts are the most frequent. He
was in sympathy with many declarations
of the peoples party. but the democratic
party through a long series OF yeais had
been true to The interests of the people. 1t
was not the party of ths workingman alone
but Of all the people.

principles were again enforced by a demo.

state was maintained. 1t was not because
it was Peter Breen, bat because il was q
citizen of the United states and a citizen
of Montana that protection WAS affo ded

and would never consent to 1t. The civil
authorities should contfol in such matters

VERY INTERESTING FIGURES.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in con-
nection with the balance-sheet for the
fiscal year just closed, meets the assertions
of the opposition that the Treasury bal
ance of S126, 6,692, 900 was obtained by stav-
ing off the payment of claims, with the
declaration that expenditures had run
$2S, 5000 less than during the preceding
year and this, Notwithstanding all that had
been said by unfair critics about postpon-
ing the payment of innumerable claims,
had come about without putting off the
payment of dollar of just Government
debt to anybody"
This is certainly much more satisfac-
tory view, if correct, than the one assidu-
ously spread during the past that the
Treasury was cooking up favorable bal
s.nce by putting off the payment of claims
which must be met sooner or later. That
would have amounted to a moral, If not
technical, falsifcation of public docu-
ments. The alternative theory is that the
administration in the exercise of its wise
discretion has abstained from contracting
all the expenditures which were author

New Castle Young Men Claim to Have Been
Chased by Giant Spook.
NEW CASTLE, July 4.-[Specidl ]-About a
year ago an old house near New Caslin post
office, four miles from this city, was
said to be haunted, but no person believed
the story until lately. About month ago,
as two persons were passing near the house,
they heard a curious noise coming from that
direction. They went toward the house,
when they saw figure moving about. The
figure walked about the yard for some time,
when it suddenly disappeared. The two
young men entered the house to investi-
gate They unfastened the door and again
heard the peculiar moving noise in one of
the rooms, and whenever they went into one
room the noise came from another direc.
tion. This continued for some time until
the sounds suddenly ceased. The young
men became terrified and ran out Of the
house. They again heard the noise, and
looking around, saw q terrible looking OBJ
ject ten feet high on the roof. According to
their story the eyes were about three inches
in diameter.
The object then descended to the ground
and came toward them. They started to
run, with the ghost after them. Finally the
young men reached home, more dead than
alive, and one OF them is now confined to
his bed with nervous prostratiOn. One of
the young men said to your correspondent:
81 suppose the people will not believe this,
but it is positively true. 1t wore something
like sheet, and when on the roof it swung
its arms around and made queer gestures"
Several other persons in that vicinity claim
to have seen the object, and there is a gen.
eral terror in the vicinity which keeps the
people in the house at night.
