Justice Miller on Protection.

From the Great Falls Tribune.
The death Of Justice Miller OF the I'm tied
States supreme court, who was the last
surviving justice appointed by Lincoln, re-
calls the famous decision Of that eminent
jurist in the so-called Topeka case, which
involved the right of the city to levy taxes
TO foster manufactures. This is the heart
OF the "protection principle" and here is
what Justice Miller thought Of that ''prin-
ciple."
"To lay with one hand the power Of the
government on the property Of the citi-
zen, and with the other TO bestow il upon
favored individuals 20 aid private enter
prises and build up private fortunes, is
none the less n robbery because il Is done
under the form Of the law and is called a
taxation. This is not legislation. 1,
is a decree under legislative forms.
Nor is il taxation. A tax says Web
ster's dictionary, lis rate or sum OF
money assessed on the person or property
OF a citizen by the government for the use
OF the nation or state. Taxes are bur.
dens or charges imposed by the legisla-
ture upon persons or property TO raise
money for public purposes.
ave have established, we think beyond
cavil that there can be no lawful tax
which is not laid for q public purpose.
"If II be said thata benefit results to
the local public Of a town by establishing
manufactures the same may be said OF
any other business or pursuit which en-
ploys capital or labor. The merchant, the
mechanic, the innkeeper, the banker, the
steamboat owner, are equally prompters
of the public good and equally deserving
the aid Of the citizens by forced contribu.

pEMocRATic MAJORITY.

The Philadelphia Press is famous for
its statistics II is one of the staunch
republican newspapers of the country,
its editor, Charles Emory Smith, is en-
joying himself as minister at one OF
Europe's courts, by appointment OF
President Harrison. The statistics OF
the Press in all matters relating "a
New England and the Middle States
are noted for their accuracy.
The Press has been figuring on the
majority in the next congress as 1t will
e determined to-day. IL is evidently
in error in regard TO several states OF
the West and Northwest, counting on
republican victories in instances where
democrats are almost sure 10 win. The
state of Montana, for instance, is put
in the republican column.
Yet, for all that, the Press admits
that the democrats will have the house
Of representatives by six majority.
This is one of the most conservative
estimates the STANDARD has seen.
Trustworthy democratic newspapers
predict that the party's majority in the
house will not e1ess than twenty, and
the democratic congressional campaign
committee is confident that the major
ity will easily run TO thirty.
These claims are well supported by
what has lately been admitted by Mr..
Blaine and other prominent republi-
can leaders. IL is no longer a question
of democratic majority in the house
OF representatives, but rather Of the
size of that majority. Voters in Mon
tana should be guided 10y this fact and
aid In the election of a member for this
state who will have his seat with the
majority. IL there is any state in the
Union where the republican party
merits exemplary punishment, that
state is Montana, and chiefly for the
fact that the party managers forgot all
about this state in their zeal to serve
the purpose Of the gold bugs. They
even carried the thing so far as to force
Mr. Carter himself TO silence: and Mr..
Carter will suffer for il to-day,
Reeds thrashing will come later when
democrats enjoy the refreshing priyi-
lege of ordering him down and out of
the speakers chair.

no insult MoRKINGMEN.

The plan of the republican press is TO
insult the voters of Anaconda when
ever opportunity presents itself, and
the opportunity is often invented.
Take, for instance, Governor Toole's
address of last saturday night in this
city. An immense audience heard 1t.
The speech was a mastery presentation
of the situation, IL evoked more enthu.
siasm than any other speech of the
campaign in this city. After the ad-
journment Of the meeting, hundreds of
voters who had listened 10 the speech
were most cordial in their praises of il,
and with its delivery the local canvass
was declared to have reached brilliant
close.
We venture the assertion that, during
the campaign, Governor Toole has not
addressed more intelligent audience
than the one that greeted him in this
city saturday night. II was made up

INSANE ONCE. A DAY.
A Maniac for Thirty Minutes Out OF
Twenty-Four Hours.

A Maniac for Thirty Minutes Out OF the
Twenty-Four Hours.
From Mason (lll.) Letter to the Chicago Trib-
une.
The Tribune correspondent recently Wis
tied Eli Rider in an iron-barred basement
room of st. Anthony's hospital at EfiinR-
ham, Ill. II was just 7:3s p. m, and the
door of the room was suddenly closed
with a bang and firmly bolted from the
outside, leaving the inmate alone. Rider
became frantic maniac at exactly 7:i0.
he ground his teeth, glared like an en-
ragged beast, battered the walls and door
with his clinched fists, clapped his loosely
manacled hands at intervals and hurled
the pillows and bed-clothes about the
apartment with awful fury. But not a
word escaped his lips. This continued
for 10 minutes, when he suddenly and de-
liberately seated himself on the floor
and remained in that position, breathing
heavily, for space of five minutes. Then
he abruptly arose, and for 10 minutes
more enacted the same maniacal scene.
Finally, being attracted by the light
which he held al the window, he cautiously
approached, his eyes blazing and his teeth
grating with a sound like that made by
castanets. One of the party called him
by name. No reply. "Show me your
teeth,r said one. Instantly he opened bis
mouth. Are you all right now, Eli?"
another asked.
"Yes?" in a half whisper, half hiss.
''Can we come in?' YES"
The mans pulse was normal. There
was no symptom of stupor; no sign of ex.
haustion; nothing 20 indicate diseased
condition OF mind or body. He is 43 years
old; has family Of five children; no
hereditary taint, no malformations, no
bad habits, but he's illiterate.
DR.. j. B. Walker, the attending physi-
clan, said. ut is remarkable case OF
periodic insanity, although in no respect
| a typical one. For sixteen weeks every
night this man. at precisely T:i0, has be-
come violently insane, the attack lasting
about half an hour. Al all other times he
is as rational as any man. Close study
and observation have convinced me OF
the genuineness Of his insanity. j have
administered as much as sixty grains OF
choral TO prevent a paroxysm, with no
perceptible effect. He receives a warning
of one minute before each attack.n
In order to test the case Rider was
called before n small party at the hospital
one evening, and DIR. Walker said 10 him
ali, these men are physicians, and we
have concluded, as a last resort, in your
case, that II you have another attack to-
night il will he necessary for us TO burn
your spine along IFS entire length with a
retl-hot iron."
Rider grew pale and strongly objected.
"This is severe treatment. IL Is true, but
necessary II you have another attack, rs
We have all agreed"
Still he objected. II lacked only 10 min.

The Count and tn. Court.

From the Cleveland Plan Dealer.
The preliminary step towards testing
the constitutionqlity Of Speaker Reeds
proceeding in "counting a quorum has
been taken. An importer who was COM
PEELED 20 pay wooden duties on an impor.
tation of worsied goods, has brought suit
in the United States district court and
among the points on which the case rests
is the claim that the act Of May 8, 1890,
classifying worsted goods as woods, was
not passed according 10 law, there being
no quorum in the house when the bill was
certified to have passed. Speaker Reed
counted" n quorum for the purpose OF
passing the bill. II the court of final re-
sort should declare the objection well
taken there will be other acts invalidaled
by the decision.

In the matter of coast defenses the
United States continues 10 be singu-
larly backward and indifferent. In his
annual report Major General Miles re-
CARDS the subject as the most impor.
tant military question now before the
people, and yet there appears TO be less
information upon II and less interest
taken than in any other national ques-
tion. He feels that congress and the
executive is powerless unless prompted
and sustained by intelligent public
sentiment. lie speaks of the mistaken
belief that in case of threatened hostili.
ties ample time will always be given to
prepare for war. History shows the
reverse. Only in exceptional cases has
declaration of war preceded hostili'
ties. At the rate Of progress We are
now makingit would require from lit.
teen TO twenty years to put our coasts
in proper condition for defense, and
in the meantime much of the wealth Of
the country is in jeopardy and at the
mercy Of any fourth-rate or iifthrate
naval power.

IL will be seen that the mai0rities for
Maginnis were In Deer Lodge and
Gallatin. In 1888, Carter had about
5000 majority in the state. lie fell
back TO l,6is last year and that majority
came from voters who felt that as Mr.,
Carter, owing to the admission of Mon
tana to statehood, h. d no opportunity
TO take his seat in congress, he ought
to be sent back TO Washington for one
session at least. That sentiment saved
Mr. Carter last year. lie had no record
then. lie has one now, and that fact
has been his great weakness in this
wears contest.

Gus pastime in the East, where people

II all goes well, the count of the vote
in the state will be completed much
earlier this year than last. In most of
the counties there are few candidates,
so that the work of precinct officers

turns from the state and il expects

Marshals nj the Polls.

Prom the Helena Independent
Federal deputy marshals are being
sworn in by United States Marshal Furay
and will swarm around the polls on
election day like fieas Oh a California
sand bar. These men are little fore
taste of what we should have under a
force bill such as Carter wants TO have
enacted. They have no right to bulldoze
or ntimidate any lawful voter. Lot every
such voter, native born or naturnlised, go
TO the polls and exercise the right Of
suffrage. He has ample protection under
the law and no man can deprive him Of
his vote. Let no man lntimidate You.

One of the staunchest republican

date from that state in the pending
contest and fayors a high protective
tariff. But the Telegraph, like many
other good republican newspapers
throughout the union is not In favor
of tariff as regulated by Mckinley.
1t says: The Mckinley act is not a
protective tariff, it never was intended
TO be; it is betrayal Of the wholesome
and judicious policy Of real protection;
il is, as II was intended TO be, repay
ment of political debt due to the
manufacturers, and bid for the incur
renee of another similar debt in the
future. II represents vast fund re-
turned to the manufacturers in acquit-
tance of the most gigantic corruption
fund ever used in American politics.
II is a measure which makes the rich
richer and the poor poorer. IL in
creases no mans wages; II increases
every mans living expenses.

tunity TO hear the report or consider the
evidence. When the scholar in poll.
