O THE CAPITAL.

The geographical center OF Mon
tana is between Dubuque and Phil
brook in the western part Of Fergus
county. 1t lies As miles east OF
Neihart and about Is west OF Lew
istown. Every candidate in the
race for capital is west of this point.
The Approximate distances of the
candidates from it are: Great Falls,
rs miles; Helena, 1Oo; Bozeman, 40;
Boulder, 1876; Deer Lodge, 40;
Butte, $50; Andaconda, 1853. The
last three are not only far removed
from the centre, but are west of the
main divide, and it would work a
hardship on Montanians everybody
will allow, to place the capital SO
far from the center, especially as
none of these points is easily aces
sible from all parts of the state.
The tendency in all new states is
for the centre of population to ap-
proach the geographical center, and
even now the center of population in
| Montana is east of Helena and no
one knows but that in five years the
two points will have merged into one.
The three west side candidates
surely have no just claim to the
capital since being SO far from the
geographical centre, they also will
be considered as year by year for all
time to be constantly growing far
Their from the centre of population
which will continue to move east
ward.
Leaving west side aspirants out of
consideration, we take a survey of
the positions and claims of the other
four places, Boulder, Helena, Boze-
man and Great Falls. Boulder is
almost as far distant and yet less ac-
cessible than Butte city which we
have already considered unworthy of
support because of her distant loca-
ton. Bozeman the next is known
to be but As miles from the south
line of the state and 24O miles from
the north line. 1t is next to impos-
sible for our north east citizens to
reach hat town and surely none
other than her local advocate can for
once think her chances one of a
thousand.
1t is evident then that the fight
should lay between Helena and
Great Falls. For the we'll thinking
citizens of Montana to favor any
other place seems absurd; for even
a west slider on calm reflection will
see the virtue of the rules that W
ought to vote the way which seems
| best for the interests of Montana as
a whole, and that in a certain meas
ure we ought to be guided by the
center of population which is NOV
inc eastward. But a short time age
the center of population was west Of
the Rockies; now it is east of Hele.
ma. 1t will soon be as far east as
the Little Belts. This is the best
guide in deciding the capital loca-
ton: for we are to consider Mon
tana's future growth in this vote
more than in any other. Great
Falls is within rs miles of the geo
GRAPHICAL center and within 40 miles
of the center of population. II
comes nearer filling the bill in our
estimation than any other candidate,

An Appalling Calamity.

A most appalling calamity has be-
fallen the village of San Sporato,
situated a short distance from Cagi-
lari, Italy. 1t is estimated that not
less than 200 of the villagers have
been drowned by a flood that swept
through the village with sudden
fury. In a moment came the tor
EN- that carried everything before
it. Houses were lifted from founda-
tons and whirled through the streets
like corks, Many of their occupants
were asleep when the flood came,
and they were awakened only to find
themselves swirling along in the
water. Men, ONE and children
were drowned before an effort could
be made to save them. Half of the
houses in the village were swept
away. The place is isolated by the
flood and access to it is difficult.

Do the People Want Him?

1t is truthfully said that a man is
best known by his friends. The fol-
lowing is taken from a communica-
ton Published in the News in
April, 1891, the aus of which was
an assault made upon the city coun-
Gil by w. H. Sutherlin in a public
meeting, of which Mr.. Anderson was
a member:
abe it remembered that this county a
few years ago dishonored itself by
sending this self-constituted champion
of the people against jobbery to the leg
islature, and while there, forgetful of his
duty to his constituents helped to pass
the most infamous law that ever dis
graced the statute books or betrayed the
trust of a contiding people. | refer to
the printing law by which the county
commissioners are compelled to give the
prinring and furnishing of all books and
blanks at an eXorbitant price fixed by
law to a resident printer. Fresh in all
our memories is the recent hurried and
unannOunced visit of this same individ-
ual to the capital, whittier he went at
The request of the United States marshal
to defend himself before the grand jury
of this State against a crime which he
committed in open day against this same
people in whose ears he sounds his bugle
of "jOb," and be it remembered that it is
no open secret,-that but for one saving
vote he would be at this time anguish
ing in a felon's cell, paying the penalty
of his pernicious crime. Such cries are
not welcome sounds in the ears of free
and intelligent people when coming
from one like he, smeared from head to
foot with dirt. One who in spite of all
the safe guards that are thrown about
the ballot to protect its purity, plotted
to defeat the free will of the people by
grossly violating the registration law.
To-day this same clarion-voiced, chronic
croaker against every pnblic fund closed
to his grasp, walks upon our streets an
UNPUBLISHED criminal and continues to
disgrace the Democratic party of Meagh-
er county by remaining chairman of the
central committee. j. T. ANDERSON"
Do the people of Meagher county
propose to be bit again by this scor-
pion?-Meagher County News.

Gallery Criticism.

Many years ago l was playing in
Dublin. I was suddenly called upon
to take a heavy part-the actor who
was cast for it having been taken i'll.
In those days your gallery boy was
a much greater contrOversialist than
he is now. l mean if a couple of
gallery friends were separated they
thought nothing of holding a CONVEX
sation across the house while the
play was in progress. Well, I made
my first entrance.
"Is that him-eh?" shouted one
youth to another.
NO." came the reply; them is
the young mans clothes. They'll
shove him out later."-Henry Irving
in Strand Magazine.

DEDICATION DAY.
The Day of the Formal Opening Of
the Worlds Fair Buildings.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The buildings
in which the Worlds fair of 1893 is
to be housed have been dedicated to
the progress Of art, manufacture and
science and to the progress and ele-
walton of humanity. The formal
transfer of the great structures in
Washington park was consummated
last night. Uncle Sam is the
possessor of the new piece of pro-
perty, Vice-President Morton upon
the platform in the great hall where
the dedication ceremonies took place
in behalf of the federal authorities
receiving from the hands of the men
who have pushed their construction
the places in which the nations of
the earth shall contest in friendly
rivalry. The last day of the Colum-
bian celebration was a beautiful au-
tumanal one throughout. The haze
of Indian summer drifted in from the
prairies upon a gentle breeze which
barely rufied the lake, whose wet
lips Tapped the boundaries of the
fair grounds. The parade as a pop
ular spectacle was disappointing
because of the shortness of the route
and the distance from the popular
centers. In itself the demonstration
of the military procession and disci-
pline was all that could be desired.
The feature of the day lay not, how
ever, in the military display as such,
but the great center of interest and
wonder was the vast building in
which the dedication ceremonies oc
cured; far reaches of walled and
rooted space with the swaying
people, were impressive to a degree
not possible to marching possessions.
The spectacle of nearly 5000 per
sons, half of them were children,
congregated in the stand of singers
was in itself a display uncommon,
and when on their feet went by IA
full orchestra, accompanied by two
brass bands. These 5000 throats
lifted up songs of patriotic spirit
and hymns to the creator for all men.
The spectacle of a railway presi-
dent, and an orator of the day, chat
ting in a genial mood with the high
est p~relate of the Catholic church in
America, was in harmony with the
occasion. The respectful attention
of Cardinal Gibbons while Bishop
Fowler of the Methodist church Of
fered prayer seemed in tune with the
time and when the cardinal arch
bishop lifted up his voice in devo-
ton to God, the Methodist bishop
and others of various sects in urn
bent to him their respectful attention.
The sterling sentiment uttered in
the Grafton by Mr.. Watterson chal-
lenged almost at his very breath APP
plause from his hearers. There was
in it the ring of the nineteenth cen
fury and the spirit and token of new
er time in which the people stand
with their faces towards a morning
of progress and light. The satisfied
throng and more se~lfrespecting than
when they entered, left the great
building at the close of the ceremon-
les as was said by General Palmer,
should there never be an exhibit in
the great hall, by witnessing the
achievements man would have Il
greater respect for his fellows.

Whittier and His "SnOW Bound"

Nhltt1cG IL iIS Shc" hohhu
Nh. Charles Brainerd, who made
Whittier a visit soon after the publ

has ceased to be a drug in the mar

make it a great manufacturing city.
