FOR SILVER.

Dillon is the first city in Montana to
form a silver club. Let the coed work
continue until every city in the state
has a similar organization and Montana
takes her place along with Colorado in
the grand free silver league. The fate
Of the Bland bill should be evidence
enough that free coinage is to be Sc
cured only by systematic work, com
plete organization and united effort. 1t
must be won by the same methods en-
ployed to bring strength to a political
party. It should be carried to this
point if success is to be- achieved.
Free coinage is a popular issue. The
mortgage burdened farmers of the south
ern and western states want it, the min
ers and mine owners Of the silver states
want it, and by working together they
can win. The difficulty thus far has
been not in the lack Of sentiment, but
IN the lack Of cohesion. Whenever the
silver issue has come up in congress We
have seen a massing OF gold bugs anc
political leaders against an unorgan.
ICED force on the other side. Con
gressmen pledged to their constituents
for free coinage have been seduced from
the cause by the wiles of politica
leaders.
This is all wrong. The interests o
silver should be placed in the hands O
4 trusted organization that will conduc'
a campaign on campaign principles. 1
should have a fund of its own a bureau
to supply silver literature to the coun
try, a corps Of speakers who can be sen
to convert others to the cause. Tb,
time has not arrived for the formation
Of an Independent political party on thi
line, but it is time to establish a erea
national silver league. Colorado haI
made a fine beginning in this direction
and Montana of all other states SHOULD
first fall in line.

Little Things.

II il curious to note that many thinRl
whica have turned ont most useful discov-
cries for man, having . great influences
Npon the lives and dastiniss OF mankind,
owe their beginning to some slight acci-
dent.
" is said that the art Of printing took III
origin from some rude impressions taken
(for the amusement of children) from lat
ters carved on the bark OF a beech tree.
G%unpowdsr was discovered from the tall
ing Of . spark on some materials mixed in
a mortar.
The s%tupendous results of the steam
engine may all be traced to the boy who
sat Watching the steam which came from
tho nose of the tsakettle.
Electricity was discovered by : person
Observing that a piece of rubbed glass at
traotsd small bits of paper.
The telescope We owe to sonae children OF
\ spectacle maker placing two or mors pair
OF speetaoles before each other, and looking
through them at the distant sky. Their
idea was followed up by older heads.
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his gar
den orc day whom he saw an apple fall
from a tree. This common occurrence set
him to thinking why things should fall
down and not up, and this train of thought
led to him to the discovery Of the law Of
RravltatiQh.
Every one can now appreciate the impor-
tance Of the slight matters spoken Of, be-
cause the wonderful results are now be-
fore the world. But the beginnings Of
these things were treated with ridlouls or
contempt. No matter how unimporthnt .
circumstances appears, it is quite possible
that great results may come from it. In .

PROSPEROUS HELENA.

No spring in tho history Of Helens
ever brought moro or better promises
OF prosperity than the present sea
son. With the weakening OF gen
eral financial depression which .thil
city has withstood SO we'll, come
new investments, new enterprises
and new inquiries. It is a season
OF good things such as has not beer
seen, and every citizen should rejoice
1t il not easy to appreciate the value
which will result from certain enter
prises that have already materialized.
To begin with, there is the Helena
White Sulphur Springs & Castle rail
road. 1t is q ''going concern" As the
English say, and within a year the cars
will be running between this city and
one OF the richest mining and agricul-
tural regions in the northwest. Helena's
position as the central point for bust
moss for the fast increasing %popula-
ton of this section Of the state, will
then be clinched. The ores from Castle
will be brought here, this city will be-
come the market for the products OF the
Smith River valley, and here the min
ers, farmers, merchants of Meagher will
come to transact business. 1t is certain
that a new great trunk line will find its
way to Helena over the Castle and White
Sulphur Springs route, and it is posi-
BILE that the new road will become part
Of the system. At any rate, the line
from this end will be completed, for the
money is subscribed and the surveyors
are at work. A glance at the map is
only necessary to show that Helena is
and will continue to be the railroad cen
ter of this northwestern country.
Then We see the walls Of the beautiful
new auditorium rising daily. The
building will be completed June /. and
will be a structure in every way adapted
to the purposes and one to be pointed to
with pride when the loyal Helenaite
shows his eastern friend about town.
He may also tell his friend that when it
was known that the building was
needed, Helena enterprise consumed
mighty little time in finding a way to
build it. "@=H.. X
That a new opera house will be added
to the city's. places of amusement is
likewise settled. The money has been
subscribed, the ground selected and the
plans ready to submit. 1t will be an
opera house in keeping with Helena's
Importance among western cities.
The cracker factory which has been
derided by our rivals, but which none
have been able to secure, will be grind
ing out crackers for all Montana before
the summer is. over. 1t is one Of the
manufacturing industries to be- followed
by others before the end OF the year.
These are among the moro material
forms of prosperity observed in the
spring outlook. Three big national
conventions this summer will bring
great results. Altogether it is a spring
awakening that means wonderful pros
perity for the Queen City Of the Rock
les. 1t is a time when the loyal citizen
may congratulate himself that he be-
longs to the town.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BosToN, MASS, Nov. 6-Prophesies that
Russell will run ahead Of his ticket and carry
the state are numerous today, but It seems
doubtful il they are fulfilled. The polls closed
here at 4:90 and the returns from the precincts
are just coming in. They show surprisingly
little cutting so far, Haile's vote being sub
stantially the same as Harrison's. and Cleve-
land and Russell standing side by side. For
example, precinct 8, ward 6, gave Cleveland
245. Russell 244, Halle Ill, Harrison ITO. Ward
l6, precinct 2, gave Cleveland l55. Harrison
27S. Russell 172, Halle 256. Ward 4, New Bed
ford, was ono OF the earliest returns in and
this made substantially the same relative show
ing Harrison has 375. Cleveland 2t5, Halle
$685. Russell 232 In 1888 Harrison had 1872.
Cleveland Isle In the vote for governor
over last year, the republican gam is 81, the
democratic. These figures may not be sufi-
Gent to base any prophecy upon, but they, with
others OF o similar tenor, do not indicate that
Russell will run 10000 or more ahead Of Cleve-
land, and while the democratic candidate for
President is defeated the democrats claim that
Lodges plurality will be cut from 4, 900 to 600

re-electing Col. Lapham to Congress. The vote
for electors will be counted first, but owing to
the Australian ballot It Is not thought that the
vote on President will be known until midnight
and the congressional figures will be even later
The Australian ballot will cause slow returns in
all the New England states. In Maine and YER
mont there IL little interest, and the republicans
are not likely to improve much on their Sep
TENDER pnajorities for governor.
