THE REGISTRATION OVER.
In the Two Helena Districts II Is
4,242 for the Year
1892.
Lewis and Clarke County Will
Show q Total OF About
5,7OO.
State, This Is Big Increase
Over 1890.

Yesterday WAS the last day of registra.
tion, and the total in the two Helena dis
triots. 4. 242, is sufficient rsfutatior Of the
charge made by the papers of Great Falls
and Butte especially that Helena is falling
oil In population. In 1880 the total regis-
tration in these two districts was 3,sO4
showing an increase of 438. or IL per cent
this year over two years ago. by districts
the increase was: First ITO, second 328
The registration for the other districts of
the county have not been received as vet,
The registration of the whole county two
years ago was 5,085. At the same rate of
increase in 1892 outside the city districts
as there was in Helena this ysar, the entire
county of Lewis and Clarke should have
nearly 5,700 qualified voters who can 90 to
the polls on the 9Th of November. The
outside districts of the county, however,
are expected to show even a larger percent
1Rs OF increase, and it would not be at all
surprising if Lewis and Clarke county 9
registration should go nearer $500.
OF the 5.0S5 votes registered in Lewis and
Clarke county in 1890 there were cast 1882
votes, showing that about 25 per cent of the
vote was not cast This is accounted for
by the fact that many men who were on
gagged on sewer and railroad work during
the regist aton, got through with their
work and went elsewhere before election
day. This year, however, no such condi-
tions are expected to arise. The men who
are at work in Helena and in the county
outside the city are engaged on works Of
moro permanent and lasting character
There is no occasion for them to leave now
or at any time before election day. or. in
fact, for many weeks after the election. As
long as the weather holds good there is no
doubt but that all who are in the county
and city now will have no occasion to
change their place of residence in search of
employment. There are other considera-
tions that bespeak a fuller vote this
year than there was in 1890. In
the latter year there was but
one Office, congressman, to be voted on out
side those counties which had to elect state
senator's. This year many voters, in fact
u large proportion of them will have the
first opportunity of their lives to cast a
ballot in presidential election. This, if
nothing else, will bring them to the polls
If they have to go on snow shoes. Then
there is the capital question. in which the
voters of Lewis and Clarke county, outside
of Helena, have as vital an interest as the
people of the city have.
From various parts of the state come re-
ports of increased registration over 1890.
The conditions at other place are pretty
much the same as here. The people want
to avail themselves of the opportunity to
take part in the selection of president.
1t 10 safe to predict that the vote of the
state this year will come within five per
cent of the registration.
Helena for the capital.

The Right of Public Meeting.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Workmen's club
and socialist societies which figured in the
Trafalgar riot five years ago will reassert
the right to hold public meeting there by
monster demonstration Sunday. Nov. 13.
with which it is presumed the government
will not interfere. The leaders of the pres
ent demonstration are the old set. Philo-
sophie and respectable socialists declare
that if the home secretary prohibits the
meeting they will withdraw. The Work
mems club insists on defying any govern
ment prohibition. The promoters of the
affair are embarrassed by receiving an inti-
nation from German and French socialist
clubs, notoriously of anarchistio character,
that they will join their ranks on the occa-
sion.

DUTY ON COAL.

A Ruling by the Acting Secretary of the
Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Acting Secretary
Spaulding instructed the collector of GUS
toms at San Francisco that coal mined in
regions known to abound in anthracite coal
and similar to that heretofore admitted to
free entry, may in the future be classified
as anthracite coal in all cases where the
quantity of fixed carbon contained therein
ia not less than 8S per cent. This reduces
the minimum amount of fixed carbon two
per cent and defines the difference TOR Gus
tom purposes between anthracite coal,
which is free. and bituminous which is sub.
jeot to duty of IS cents per ton.
