The people of Helena seem to
have become completely discouraged
over the prospects of Helena being
the permanent capital of Montana.
A few weeks ago she was declaring
that no other town except Helena
was in it. Now her agents are down
on their knees all over the state beg
cling the people to vote for that city
because if she does not get a place
her real estate will be worth nothing
and it's owners in Helena will become
almost beggars. This sympathy
racket will not 60 any longer. The
capital of Montana should be located
as near as possible to the center of
the state. That in the course of five
years will be the center of popula-
ton also. 1t should not be located
for the benefit of the real estate own
ers in Last Chance gulch, who wish
to boom their property until they
can get rid of it and who are work
ing the capital scheme for that pur-
pose alone. 1t has no means for
employing labor. 1t is filled with
empty houses, business blocks and
buildings. There is nothing there
to give employment to laborers. On
the othe hand Great Falls is a grow
ing town. 1t is building from five
to seven hundred houses a year to
say nothing about her magnificent
business blocks. 1t is getting in
new enterprises continually, which
will give employment to laboring
men. 1t it a workingman's town in
every respect. 1t is nea the center
of the state and is destined to be the
center of population. The Helena
papers may decry northern Montana
all they please, as they have done
for the last five or ten years, but the
resources of northern Montana are
fully equal to those of southern Mon
tana; if anything it will support a
larger population. 1t has less bar
rem soil; it has rich mines and plenty
of them; it is settling up faster than
any other portion Of the state, there
every man who has an interest in
the welfare of Montana should vote
for the town which is near the center.

DO YOU?
Take The EIERALD
ClEVElAND'S ACCEPTANCE.

A Coming Address to His Fellow Demo-
Gratis on the Issues of the Day.
A correspondent sends the following
as an advance copy of Mr.. Cleveland's
letter of acceptance:
Elbow DEMOCRATS
AS your presidential candidate for eighteen
ninety-two,
TIC the Democratic platform my allegiance |
renew,
And congratulate the party on the declaration
made
In favor of my theory of absolute free trade.
We have in this free country no constitutional
right.
And when l am elected. of which there is no
doubt,
This tariff for protection will be knocked com
pletely out.
Then wool and all it's products from tariff
taxes free,
We will raise our revenue from coffee and
from tea.
As Democrats we mourn that great Mckinley
sin,
OF trying to keep out the plates of English tin.
And we will take the duty from all the iron
ore,
And welcome every product that comes from
foreign SHORE.
Our workingmen may growl. think | hear
you say.
For fear our glorious plan will soon reduce
their pay;
But we must urge our organs to raise the hue
and cry,
Of how very cheap our workingmen will buy
AS for reciprocity, inspired by Mr.. Blaine,
Under such q banner no Democrat can train.
Our organs will denounce it as a humbug and
fraud,
A law that will repeal it all Democrats may
The clause about the currency | heartily APP
prove,
Let us once get back in the good old fashioned
groove
OF which our party fathers so fondly still re-
late
by the state,
And money was as plenty as the sands upon
the shore
And a counterfeit detector was kept in every
store.
To regulate election by law we must oppose
AS long as such a law will tread upon the toes
OF our Democratic friends, who majorities de-
note
If they can only count and calculate the vote,
For the tail end of the ticket all Democrats
may shout,
Ii NlCGOIy INV O"A 49, WV
rascalS out.
For Stevenson made a record that he never
cared a straw
For any such a humbug as a civil service law.
Our party once in power, the record we will
fill
With economic vetoes of every pension bill.
And if a great deficiency we're called upon to
face
A tax on private incomes the Democrats will
place,
And abolish every measure which to our mind
appears
To have ruined this great land for more than
thirty years. .
Then rally round the flag for Cleveland and
reform.
And when we hear the news on the bright No.
yember morn
May it bring us victory in answer to our
prayer,
And Cleveland be restored to the presidential
chair.

Many Lives Were Lot.

The Norwegian steamer City of
Washington, from B~oca-bel-toa, ar
rived at New Orleans reporting a
hurricane on Monday Oct. 10. All
the movables on deck were swept
away and the cargo slightly dam
aged. The captain and the first Of
fcer we're injured. The steamer
Angus, which arrived from Nicara-
qua reports similar weather, and that
on October II, she sighted a boat
containing two men, The seas were
running mountains high, but the
Angus down and a rope was thrown,
to which the men chung, and they
were drawn safely on board. The
men belonged to the schooner
Stranger, which capsized on the 10.
Thirteen passengers, including sew
en- women and three children, also
the crew of five men, including the
captain, were all drowned with the
exception of the two rescued.

An Important Decision.

The supreme court of California
in the case Of Raston VS.. Brown, be-
ing an application of a ~non-partisan
political faction of San Francisco for
a writ of mandate to compel the
registrar of votes to place the name
of the non-partisan on municipal
ticket to be voted for next election
on the ticket, has decided adversely
to the plaintiffs on the grounds that
sections of the political code provid-
ing for the voting Of straight tickets
by stamping the ticket heading or
party designation at the head of the
ticket, unconstitutional. The court
holds hat the official ballot should
be printed without party designation
or any party at the head of the tick
ct, and voters can only express their
choice by stamping opposite each
name or proposition voted for, ex-
cept as to presidential electors, who
may be voted for by a single stamp
opposite the party group on the
ticket. The court is unanimous in
it's decision, which is considered by
all parties an important lie.

He Can't Stop Singing.

A peculiar case of Insanity has
developed in Louisville. Henry
Hejka, a dairyman living on the
Shelby street road, was arrested,
charged with lunacy. 1t was no.
ticed that his mind was unbalanced
last Friday morning, when he began
singing "Tar-ra-ra-boom-de-ay," and
could not be persuaded to stop.
For two days and two nights he con-
tinued to sing Lottie Collins ia
nous song, and when his friends
could stand it no longer they had
him arrested. He sung it while be-
ing taken through the streets in the
patrol wagon, and all of to-day the
Jail corridors rang with the melody.
Upon every other subject, however,
he is perfectly rational.

HE Is NOT A DEMOCRAT.
Mr.. D'Auby Tells Why in Twelve Good
Reasons.

Mr.. D'Auby Tells Why in Twelve Good
Reasons.
Here are a dozen reasons why l am not a
Democrat:
First-Because the man that shot Lincoln
was a Democrat.
Se~cond-Because the Confederate constitu-
ton was written by Democrats.
Third-Because all free traders are Demo-
Gratis.
~Fourth-Because federal elections must be
subject to federal laws.
Fifth-Because a strong central government
is essential to a more perfect union.
Democracy always fears the
result of honest elections.
Seventh-Because with Democracy the con-
stitution Of the state is first and the constitu-
ton of the Union last.
Eighth-Because Democracy is divided as to
it's W cardinal principles.
N~inth-Because Democracy shows it's own
incompetency to govern in states where it has
full control.
T~enth-Because Democracy kept in slavery
10000 o w~orkingmen and today poses as their
friend.
Eleventh-Because Democracy shows such a
disregard for the rights of the people after
election and manifests such deep concern in
their welfare before 1t.
Twelfth-Because Democracy ~rejoices over
bad crops, strikes, reductions of wages, failures
Of banks and individuals, and deplores and
grieves over Commissioner Peck's report show
ing all increase in wages. l.. j. DAUBY.

NEVER before was the outlook
more bright than at present for the
election of the whole republican
ticket in Meagher county. The
failure to nominate a candidate on
the peoples ticket for state senator
leaves populists the privilege to
choose between the two other candl-
dates. The local candidate forrepres-
entative, Mr.. Parker, is growing in
favor every day as the petty one-day
sensations Of the miner begin to be
understood. Brown finds much en-
couragement in the fact that his
opponent finds no trusted advocate,
but has to rush into print for his own
defense; and SO all along the line,
with the exception perhaps of sup
erintendent of public instruction,
where true gallantry prompts many
to throw party lines aside, and vote
for the lady they know best.

Miss. ELLA KNOWLES is praised

Miss. ELLA KNOWLES is praised
for being the best speaker that ever
talked at this place. She is earnest,
logical and forcible. Her turns of
wit are pleasing and her argu-
ments entertaining. She carries
such a load Of statistics as surprises
the listener, and has facts on her
tongues end. Her style ~convinces
n of her intense earnestness and
her positive convictions. AS an
electioneer she has few equals and
there is no doubt that her visit here
has won her many a vote, for that
she thoroughly understands the
bachelors nature no one doubts for
a moment.

After a long winded editorial the
Fergus County Argus says Helena
is the center of the state population
and that is the reason why it SO
steadfastly champions the cause of
that city. Not at all. The reason
why the Argus SO steadfastly cham
ions the cause of Helena is because
its spinal column has been touched
by Helena gold. That is the reason
why it is working against the inter
ests of Fergus county and all north
ern Montana.

If THE HERALD ever gets forgiven
for the personal thrusts it gave last
week it promises to do penance in
every prescribed manner except
eating baled hay, and VOWS never to
do the like again. A man with a
temper ever SO smooth may be pro-
voked to do and say things for which
he afterwards suffers remorse. We
resolve hereafter to keep sweet and
if we get the worst of the battle we
will nurse our little woes in silence.

The Montana Exhibit.

Prof. O. G.. Morrison, assistant sec
rotary of the worlds fair commission
for Montana, says the Miners spe-
cial correspondent from Great Falls,
is in from a months trip collecting
snecimens. The whole collection of
the trip will weigh 5000 pounds, of
which about $500 pounds are min
eral specimens. 1t is on the way
here and is expected to arrive by a
big mule team tomorrow. 1t IS SUI
fciently valuable so that a man ac-
companies it with a good winchester.
The collection contains oats from
Warm Springs creek, Lewistown,
Philbrook and Utica, barley from
Utica also nineteen different varie-
ties of grasses from the slopes of Big
Snowies; timothy from Arion creek
with heads seven inches long; alfal-
ia from various sections.
The ladies of Phllbrook send a
box of frui, bearing trees. There
are some fine specimens of coal from
the Flat Willow and Lewistown dis
tricts, both bituminous and camel.
The bulk of the minerals come from
around Maiden, the cone of the
Butte district and from North Moe
casin. The mineral consists of four
kinds of gold bearing rock, eleven
of silver and lead, ore of telurlum,
also specimens of ore containing
copper, zinc, anthony, bismuth,
magnesia, belite, and specular iron,
asphaltum, corundum and yellow
paint and various firms OF crystals

THE eagerness with which VIM.
Tierney rushes into print and states
his ease as he sees it, is ~langhable
TO saw the least. He comes out with
a series of challenges for us which
insinuate that we have been articu-
lating through our head gear and
that we are given to fathering mush-
room sensations like the editor of
the Miner. And right here we
pause to say that it had been our in
tention to drop the subject of low
wages from that outfit if the gentle
mans in eagerness for cheap advertis-
ing had not issued so many chal
lenges.
First, we say that this man Tier
ney has often remarked, when a
hand was needed, that he knew of a
man back in Dakota that would fill
the bill. Go to him to-day and
we dare say he knows a man in
North Dakota that a fill any kind
of position imaginable.
Now as to our evidencein the mat
ter of wages we rise to say we were
not talking through our hat. We
do not for once question the state
ment of those who come out testify
ing to what they received per month.
And it is not a question of how
much wages but as to whether Mr..
Tierney hired men at low wages,
and in connection with this it is cur-
rently reported that the gentleman
himself was among the first to cut
wages below the standard. Read
the following;
John Hart, laborer, in the
presence of VIM. Cragg, and our
editor stated, and guaranteed
his oath, that he applied to
VIM. Tierney for a job cutting logs.
VIM. Tierney asked him what he
waited for wages. Mr.. Hart asked
$40 per month and board. In the
words of Mr.. Hart, VIM. Tierney
said that if the labor of this place
locked on them they could go back
to North Dakota and get better men
all they want at less wages. Tier
new offered Hart $27.5O a month
and said that was more than he was
paying some of his men. Hart
would not accept it. Read the fol-
lowing:
Christ. Peterson, now at the sec
ton house, according to his own
statement, worked seven weeks in
the woods for the Neihart Lumber
company for $50 month and board
Joseph lie Verne worked in the
woods hired by this man Tierney al
$50 "a day or $50 a dry month, be.
ing locked for each half day lost
He says $50 to $50 a month is all he
could make. Then Hugh Hutchin:
son makes affidavit as follows:
II worked for the Neihart Lumber
company at the rate of $50 pei dry
month for four months in the winter
of 1912, and that the company
employed men to work about the
mill at the rate of s26, $50 and 50;
per month, and that they hired mel
at as low rate as possible.

II IS a pity that William Tierney
is compelled to conduct his own de-

we almost wish we hadn't said a
word. The mans defeat is as sure
as preaching.

JEWELS OF CONSISTENCY.
IA STORY IN FOUR CHAPTERS.

The Hon. w. w. Dixon in his
Monday night speech argued that
popuIists should support the demo-
cratic ticket.
But he got tangled up when he
ran against the fact that the repub-
lican party is more than the demo-
cratic in favor of Capitalization OF
power, a principle upon which the
populists stand to a nan He dis
covered soon that he was fighting a
whirlwind.
This same gentleman remarked,
that if placed in power, the demo-
Gratis would pass the free coinage
bill.
He made that same remark two
years ago then qualified by saying
that a democratic house, if elected,
would pass the bill.
But the democratic house has
killed two such bills, and now Mr.
Dixon, on the record of that house,
wants the peoples endorsement.
In the Monday night speech, Mr.
Dixon unearthed the mineral land
bill, which the democratic house had
buried. and said that if reelected he
would see that the bill was passed.
The voters remember that he
promised this same thing two years
ago, though they suspected that he
was talking through his hat when he
said it.
They also remember that Mr..
Dixon after having framed the bill
could never induce the speaker to
recognize him on the floor or even
on the street.
He remarked two years ago the
great poverty that would strike this
country, when the poor miners
would blow in their wages for dinner
pals and would have to stand off
the butcher and baker, all on ac-
count of the Mckinley bill.
But dinner pals are cheaper now
than they were then, as statistics
prove, and he took pains at Mel
hart not to speak of the matter at all.
This is Mr.. Dixon's record as a
congressman and a politician. The
people want something more Ameri-
can with less promise and more full
filment.
