RECOMMENDATIONS

1t is a safe predictions that it will be
many years before another president is
renominated. Cleveland was defeated
in 1888, chiefly for the reason that dur
ing his first term he had alienated or
made lukeWarm some of the strongest
leaders in his party. Mr.. Harrison yves
his defeat largely to enemies in his own
CAMP. When the crisis came in his
affairs he missed the long heads and
skilled hands of Quay and Platt, Clark,
son and Dudley. They saved their party
standing by getting into line at the
eleventh hour; but the battle was then
already lost.
There was no demand or necessity for
Mr.. Harrison's denomination. From the
point of view of his party he had made
a fair and Industrious executive, but as
Col. Ingersoll said, Eight years of Ben
iamin Harrison would be a great DEAL
In spite of the demand for a new can
didate, however, Mr.. Harrison insisted
that the party should try him again, and
he didn't leave it any option about ac-
ceptlng the tender Of his services
either. He has met defeat IN republi-
can states.
Henry Clay was defeated for the pres.
idency because he had been long in pub
lie life and made a record that could be-
assailed. lie was defeated by Polk who
had no record and was almost unknown
to the country. Cleveland had no ma
tional reputation when he defeated
Blaine, the foremost man in the repub
lican party, in 1884. Mr.. Cleveland
after staying in retirement for foul
years, polled a larger vote than wher
his shortcomings as a political manage,
were fresher in the minds of his part,
leaders.
The defeat of Mr.. Harrison will dis
courage his party for a long time from
the experiment Of denomination. New
candidates with short records run best

"NEvER have anything to do with an
unlucky man." was the stern maxim OF
the head OF tho great Rothschilds bank
ing house. The old banker probably
would have drawn the line at our Carter
under this rule. Carter's streak Of bad
luck struck him two years ago when he
undertook the management Of the i'll
starred congressional campaign that
landed the democrats in possession OF
the house of representatives by the
largest majority aver known. He lost
his W. election at the same time. With
it went bis prestige as q politician in
his W state, but securing the favor Of
the executive family, he again took a
post in which he attracted public atten-
ton. This led to his selection as chair
man of the republican national COM
mittee during another campaign which
has ended in overwhelming disaster.
Fault will no doubt be found now
with Mr.. Carter as a political manager.
Yet We think uniustly. He did the best
he knew how, and his best is pretty
good. The fates were against him,
that's all. But how will his party view
it? That's another matter. Is it three
defeats and out?

THE WEATHER.
THE VICTORY.

Revised returns only make the sue
cess of the national democracy more
emphatic! New York has rolled up a
magnificent plurality of $4,000 to 10000
for Cleveland. Illinois is securely IN
the democratic fold by 10000 to $4,000;
Wisconsin has followed her by a like
majority; Indiana is out Of the doubtful
column by a safe margin; Connecticut is
a little Gibraltar of democracy; the south
is all in line.
At a late hour last night the Asso-
ciated press dispatches announced that
every indication was that Ohio-yes,
OhIo-had broken from her republican
moorings, and that the republican COM
mittee of that state virtually ac-
knowledged defeat.
1t is another landslide like that of
1S90-another proof that revolutions do
not go backward.
Kansas and Colorado have gone for
Weaver, and probably Nebraska also.
We regret to add that at this writing
it does not look as though Montana
would keep step to the music
of the union. Returns are still
incomplete and meagre, but in Butte
the democratic majority of 200, two
years ago, is wiped out and Harrison
carries the county by a plurality ex-
ceeding 600, while in Anaconda
the democratic majority is cut down
more than one-half. Had these two
cities held up their usual democratic
vote, Cleveland, Collins and Dixon
would have carried the state by good
plurallties. AS it is it looks as though
Harrison, Richards and Hartman might
have a small plurality unless the demo-
Gratis make gains in the back country.
The legislative ticket is in doubt.
The republicans elect five members, the
democrats three, and the populists one
in Silver Bow.
The legislative ticket in Deer Lodge
is still in doubt and will be divided be.
tween the three parties. The best the
democrats can hope is that the new
senate will be a tie. 1t will take a day
or two to determine tho complexion OF
the house of representatives. The
Lewis and Clarke delegation, as in the
last house, apparently will stand four
democrats to four republicans.

The gentlemen who have looked after
Helena's candidacy deserve the thanks
of the community for the faithful per-
Torrance OF arduous duties. 1t was a
~thankless undertaking at best, one that
was sure to bring censure and criticism
upon those engaged in it. Conducting
such a campaign, like running a news
paper, develops the fact that there
are some hundreds Of citizens who
would do the thing differently, and bet
ter, were they in charge. Our capital
committee has had to encounter bitter
and unreasoning prejudice and, worst o.
all, an enormous corruption fund, in the
presentation of Helena's claims. The
difficulties encountered were almost in.
superable, and the result, on the whole
should be gratifying to all.

HOWEVER unfortunate it may be for
the people of the state to have the loca-

it will be a good thing for Helena, per
haps, to have the controversy kept open.
The capital has proved a detriment to
many a town. 1t begets a tendency to
self-complacency and acts as a handicap
to energy. Albany, Harrisburg, Annap-

and rhyme the thoughts which lay
heavy upon them. It has been true al
ways, and the poet wrote of no new dis
covery; he merely put words to the old,
old chords in a minor key, which have
beaten upon the sounding boards OF
mems and women's hearts since men and
women were.
If one who had been interested in
them had asked John Marston and Mary
Palvey xhy they were no longer friends,
as they had been since childhood. neither
she in her quiet home in New England,
nor he in the active, thriving western
town could have given definite answer.
They would have made the attempt, OF
course, each according to the light pos

who quarreled to be unable to give q
most explicit and satisfactory explana.
Ition-to thernselves-of the course OF
their estrangement, carefully emitting
none of the factors making the integer
of their alienation?
Marston was quite positive in his own
mind that Mary had been entirely toe
whimsical for any sane man to tolerate
for a moment, much less lifetime, and
Mary was quite as sure in her mind that
John Marston was the most perfectly
outrageous man she had ever met IN thf
whole course of her existence.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A Happy New Year! Why, certainly;
we are all good enough Christians 10
fling the wish at the heads of all our
friends, and few of our enemies, too,
not on the 1st of January only, but
every day the year round for the matter
Of that. Why the wish was pinned to
the Janus faced frstling of the year
IS question that would require until
the 31st of next. December to an
swer fully, and rare store of outland-
tsh stuff would be the outcome. The
1st of April is nearer being the true first
day of natures year, but we feel little
sensitive about fixing it so, goodness
knows why.
Our good cousins in Scotland are re-
sponsible for the high jinks now gener-
Rlly associated with New Years day by
the British, just as the Hollanders have
the credit of establishing it here. Across
the sea they celebrate all religious feasts
! by eating something-at the birth of our
Lord they gorge on roast beef and plum
pudding, his Easter resurrection by bolt
ing hard boiled eggs, Good Friday is
made gloomy by swallowing indigestible
bot cross buns and Shrove Tuesday by
dyspeptic pancakes.
We, more truly civilized, mortify the
flesh on turkey to show our thankfulness:
and sanctify the year by slipping native
wine during its first lunch hour. So, long
live our good old customs and Happy
New Year to us all.

'OH, JOHN. oIf. thlE-O.
to the meeting, SO that her absence might
not be observed and commented upon at
the conclusion Of the services, when she
heard a mans football on the steps out
side.
Her heart beat quick at first, for Mary
had read novels, and she knew that
lovers sometimes caue TO their sweet
hearts thus; but this was not the fearless
tread of a hero.
It was stealthy, so stealthy that if her
ear had not been accustomed to every
noise about the familiar old building she
might not have noted it.
It was burglar, SHE was certain, af-
ter that first heart thump, for it was
known the communion plate was of sill
| yer and worth at least enough to tempt
rural robber, and everybody knew the
strong box Of the chapel was strong
box only in name.
She was frightened nearly out of her
senses, but enough remained to warn
her that her only safety lay in hiding
behind the organ and giving the thler
the right Of way to everything in his
path.
Slowly. she heard that dreadful step
slipping along the aisle, creaking as IL
came. She had to exert every energy of
her will! to keep from screaming, and the
Blip-slip-creak-creak came nearer and
nearer.
At the end of the aisle it stopped, as II
In doubt which way to turn, and her
heart beat slower; then it passed, still
slipping, over to the other corner, and
she gave a faint sigh of relief.
She couldn't have prevented 1t II she
had died for it, she was certain.
On the instant the sickening, awful,
invisible stepping ceased; then it seemed
to turn toward her.
Nearer and nearer it, came, until she
could hear the breathing, until the
hands cautiously cropping in the dark
slid along the organ top and touched
her.
She shrank away, but there was 2
puick start and two great hands clutched
her, and their fingers crawled up to her
throat.
She tried to scream then, but she
could not.
It was as if she was in a frightfu
: nightmare.
: '.Hold on! I've got you, you darnec
. thief!' came voice, suppressed and ter
rible, and with it came the last remain
ing yestige of poor Mary's wits.
= '.Oh, John!' she gasped.
,, Then she tainted dead away.

Mary's head was triumphing now.
Come" she said, "there's watch

should be there; not here"
"With your hand in mine, Mary, he

''It's funny" said Mrs. Marston a
month later on the local train west,
"that John should have noticed the
chapel door ajar on his way from the
depot that night, and thinking thief
was inside had come in and caught me
there, wasn't it?'

who had known her frem childhood,

happened either, is there?:'

LEAP YEAR RHYMES.
THE WAY OF A BAsHFUL YOUTH.
He was a very bashfui youth,
Who always was afraid;
So when he called on New Years eve,
He simply staid and staid;'
And waited till the hands flew round
The clock upon the shelf;
And when the midnight hour was
reached
She did the rest herself.
THE PROPER THING FOR LEAP YEAR.
She asked him if he would be hers:
He laughed loud, ha! hal
And then he blushed and softly cried,
You'd better see papa"
SHE WAS ALL RIGHT.
He did not think she cared for him,
But when the leap year came
He noticed, to his great surprise,
She got there just the same.
GOT THERE TOO LATE.
On New Years morn he quickly rose,
And to her house he ran,
To find that when he reached her door
At half past twelve the night before
She'd asked some other man.
Ia, ia!
The sP;nster met, one leap year morn,
A man she held most dear,
And asked him il he'd call. Said he,
II cannot come this year."
HAPPY MAN.
'Tis leap year, and from morn till night
We hear him gladly sing;
For when he said he'd marry her
She bought herself the ring.
OUT OF DANGER.
He feels quito safe when leap year comes
For time has so abused him
That all the girls he's ever known
