DAILY JOURNAL AFFAIRS.

X. G. Kerens, of st. Louis, Says He Owns
Press Franchise and Presses.
There appears 70 be considerable diff.
Guilty in getting the various creditors of the
Helena Daily Journal to agree on some
plan looking to the starting of the paper.
IL 10 possible the employees will receive theii
wages to-day. il the money is paid over by
the Merchants National bank. The fol-
lowing special dispatch from st. Louis to
tho New York Times will be read with in
terest by the Helena creditors of the paper.
After referring TO the sale Of the journal
by the sheriff, the dispatch reads:
II. G. Kerens to-day said: II own the
Associated press franchise, valued at $40.
900, and also the presses of the establish
ment. My claim against the paper il be-
tween $25. 600 and $40, 600. We are endeav-
orlug to reorganize the concern, with
Russell Harrison still at the head. and
think we will succeed. There are three
properties involved. all separate and dis
tinct corporations-the daily paper, the
weekly, and large stationery store. The
trouble is that the daily has been run on
the lines of metropolitan newspaper,
and suppose the expense was too heavy.
1.-The attachments issued against the
property, coming as they did the very day
after the national election, were a blow to
Russell Harrison, who was ambitious to be
a successful newspaper man, and so become
entirely independent Of his father. Imms-
diately after the cs ash we got Lew Wallace,
a son of Gen. Lew Wallace of Indiana, to
go to Helena to effect a reorganization, and

to believe that this will be done. lie is

THE CONFERENCE A FAILURE.

The continued progress OF the inter-
national monetary conference gives no
assurance Of beneficial results to silver.
Indeed, the proceedings from day to day
indicate growing sentiment among the
European delegates against any recon-
mendntions looking toward revival of
the price of the metal. Even tho Roths
child plan with its notifications which
proposed to arrange for certain annual
purchases Of silver by this and Euro
pean governments, and which, it was ba-
lieyed, would at least result in raising
the price few points, has been rejected.
1t s therefore improbable that any
other plans with this object in view will
be adopted, and it will be fortunate for
silver interests If the proceedings
do not result in growth of sentiment
for monometallism.
When the conference was first pro-
posed 1T WAS believed that the great in
terest shown by the Harrison admins
tration WAS really in the interest Of
Harrison's campaign for reelection. 1t

1T WILL BE MADE INTEKEsr1Sc

Before this Box Elder business is fin
ished, the people will have full evidence
of the most vicious strikes against pop
ular suffrage ever known In Montana.
1t will be the last chapter in long con-
tinued story of election outrages along
the northern tier of counties, and the
effect must necessarily be salutary.
Enough is already known of this affair
to satisfy the voters that 1t was an open
handed and barefaced criminality; but
before the investigation is finished there
will be series of disclosures far more
interesting to certain people living
within hundred miles of the city hall
in Helena.
The voting of these half-bree In
| dians has been going on for many years,
and it is pretty we'll understood who
pulls the wires, This work has been
done in precincts remote from the more
populated districts, and where the
agents of fraud were we'll protected be-
cause they we're banded together and
under the control of parties to whom
they were obligated. AS they have
grown older in the business, they have
grown bolder. They have reached a
point where past success has made them
confident OF like results. The assur-
ance that their methods were secure
from detection has led them to believe
that not only Canadian Cree Indians
can be voted, but that returns can be
forged and mutilated. This has been
done in the past and will be repeated if
an end to this business is not reached
now.
With the facts at issue there will be

pondent intimates that Commodore
Powers case VII be reopened and may
result in his expulsion from the senate.
1t is not easy to see how man could be
expelled from an office TO which he was
never elected. We do not know how
much truth there is in this reported
movement, but if carried out there will
probably be no great display. The COM
modore will simply drop around in the
senate some morning and find n demo-
crat in his seat. Then he will be called
off in corner by Vice. President Steven

was thought to be clever device for
disposing OF the silver issue during the
campaign, and securing western delega-
tions for President Harrison at Minne-
apolis The republican party with its
record Of twenty years. war against
silver, was afraid to continue the fight
this year, and the conference was em-
ployed solely for the purpose Of direct
ing attention from tho issue. To this
end it operated with some success,
though nothing could have prevented
President Harrison's overwhelming de-
feat.
With the almost certain prospect that
the conference will fail to give relief to
the silver market, it seems equally cer-
tain that this relief will not come in
many years except through legislation
in the congress of the United States.

THE CHOCEAU CON TEST,

! The Anaconda Standard makes fine
distinctions without differences when it
contends that the supreme court did
not hold that the Silver Bow canvassng
board had the right to determine that
there was fraud, or to throw out the
precinct" In the Lloyd-Sullivan case
the lower court admitted evidence as to
fraud at precinct "a and held that fraud
| had not been proved, and that the
throwing out of the precinct was an
unwarranted presumption of power by
the canvassing board" The supreme
idence, held that it did establish fraud
"to such an extent that the actual vote
Of the precinct cannot be ascertained
and the returns are valueless as evil
dence and must be rejected" To be
sure the supreme court opinion did not
actually use the name Of the oanvassl ng
board, because it wasn't necessary to do
so, but it did plainly uphold the action
of that body inferentially when it de-
clared that the vote of precinct "a was
lTduuul6ub anu Gue returns Valu6leSS
as evidence and must be rejected" The
effect Of the decision, however nicely
balanced its phrases may be, was to give
legal sanction to the elimination of the
vote Of precinct 81. The lower court
condemned that act. The supreme court
did not do 30 although it had before it
the abstract of the vote of the county
with precinct "a eliminated. 1t held that
the true result in the county was shown
by the abstract which did not contain
the vote OF that precinct.
The real difference between the Silver
Bow case and the present contest in
Choteau county is that in the former
the court was asked to sustain an
elimination by canvassers, and
did so-no matter about phrase
ology, that was the effect of the
decision-and in the latter it is asked to
compel canvassers to restore an elimi-
mated vote.
There is still further and more i'm
portant difference Mr.. Hamilton holds
the certificate of election, the prima
facie right to the seat, and his opponent
must contest his right to it before the
house. That is Mr.. Leech's tribunal,
and not the supreme court

building at the shipyards Of the Globe Iron
Works at Cleveland, O., two of the largest,

steamships ever built to run on American

these splendid passenger steamships as safe

They are but the commence ment of a fleet
of six steamships ultimately to be built,
and they are to run on the Buffalo and
Duluth route in connection with the Great
Northern railway line as part of that sys-
tenn. The first two vessels already referred
to it is hoped to complete in time to be
running their regular route the latter part
of the season of 1893, leaving each terminal
twice each week. The speed of these
"greyhounds'' will average about twenty
miles an hour, and the distance between
Buffalo and Duluth. say LOO miles, will be
traversed in about sixty hours. including
several hours stop at Cleveland. o., De-
