which for man. !sasous is unsuited to be-

pecially had this opinion become prevalent
from the fact that prominent politicians

THE WEATHE Err.
OUR GUESTS.

The last of the national conventions
to be held in Helena will be with us this
week. While the gatherings OF the a.
o. U. w. and the mining congress were
in a measure disappointing, because Oh
unforeseen circumstances that pre-
vented a full attendance at either, there
is good prospect that the encampment
Of the Sons of Veterans will be more
successful. The energetic young men
who compose this notable organization
have announced their purpose OF COM
ing in large delegations and the meeting
promises to be- the best the order has
seen. Our local committees have GER
tainly worked faithfully and the prepa-
ration for the visitors will be complete
So far as the public is concerned, the
presence of numerous drilled companies
to contest for the handsome prizes Of
fered will make the weeks events highly
interesting. The committees of the
local encampments have asked our citi-
zens generally to aid them IN entertain
ing their friends, and every effort should
be put forth to give the visitors a cor
dial welcome. In particular is it re-
quested that the business blocks and
residences of the city along the line of
the parade be decorated in honor
of the meeting. This request should
meet with prompt response. Let every
citizen make himself a committee of one
to do something for the pleasure of this
body of worthy young men.

good music will have a treat offered them

this month. The Helena Catholic Literary
society have had a very pretty comic opera,
entitled "Ihe Haymakers," in preparation

dates. The music is very pleasing through
out. and anumber of catchy solos. duets,
trios and qua tettes are introduced. The
chorus work of the company is very good.
and taken as n whole The Haynakers''
will no doubt make up the most pleasing
entertainment vet given by amateurs in
Helena. Tickets are now on sale at Pore
& O'Connor's and may be had Of the mem
bers of the literary society. Price of tick
cts only 80 cents. Don't forget the dates

CONGRESS has adjourned. There is
very little to be said of its work, for it
has enacted little legislation. This is
not a serious fault, for the country has
too many laws now. There are a few
measures that should have been acted
upon which failed IN one house or the
other, but the great mass of bills were
unnecessary and it is just as we'll that
they are dead. With the senate and
house controlled by opposite political
parties, it is not possible to accomplish
much that the country wants. If the
democrats carry the elections this year,
by as large nlajorities as now seem prob
able, they will gain control of both
houses, and with the president working
IN harmony with them they can give the
country needed laws. 1t will be n good
thing for the democrats if they have q
smaller membership in the next house
OF representatives. The 1890 landslide
brought in a majority SO large as to be
unwieldy.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat is one
republican newspaper that will admit
the truth into it's columns during a
political campaign. 1t says Of the Ala
bama election last weak:
One good result. though, has come from
the Alabama election. There was no color
line in the contest. Whites and blacks
were divided. and apparently every man
seeking to cast his ballot was permitted to
do it without any fear of immediate or ulti-
mats bodily harm. This example 10 likely
to be followed in other southern states,
New issues, local and national. will produce
new divisions in the south, and both races
will be thus affected. Tho southern negro
is forgetting his old debt to the republican
party, and the republicans. in his interest.
have ceased urging him to remember it. It
is better for the negro to vote the demo-
cratic ticket thar no to vote at all, and
consequently anything which causes q split
in his ranks in the south and a division in
the objects of his political favor will be
welcomed by rer ublloans.
The race question is being settled BY
the colored man himself, as it should be.
SO long as the negro voter considered
himself a republican chattel, the draw
ing OF the color line in the south was in
evitable. If, at the coming election,
colored men north as we'll as south, will
divide their votes they will do very much
to advance the welfare of their race. There
ID every Indication that they intend to
do SO. In the northern states, at least,
we believe Cleveland will get the major
ftp Of the colored votes.

thing savoring Of a star chamber pro-
ceeding in these conventions. He would
make them in the truest sense of the

to the whole people, not misrepresented
by a mob overahadowing the convention
with local or personal aspirations, pred
udlces, or whims. but represented by a
suitable number OF citizens from the
whole country, admitted under proper

nioatlons, virtually brings every citizen

tion. The result Of this present system,
under which the convention has ceased
to be a d~eliberative body. and has be-
mainly a m%enagerie to amuse a
local mob of men, women and children,
who are frequently admitted for money,

Some Short Term Offices.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 10
There are number of vacancies in the
higher offices and the problem Of filling
them has been considerably complicated by
the result of the recent election.
These positions are outside of the civil
service law, and are looked upon as the
legitimate patronage of the party in power.
Under the present administration all OF
these places are or have been filled by Re
publicans.
1t is expected that when the administra-
ton changes on March 4th. next, another
general change will be made. In view OF
the fact, the vacancies cannot be regarded
as altogether desirable prizes.
That the public business may be proper
" carried on, some of these vacancies must
be filed at once. In the POstofice De-
partment the Office of the First Assistant
Postmaster General is vacant.
In the Department of Justice, Attorney
General Miller signifed his intention OF re-
signing. The President will also have
four vacancies on the bench 10 fill. These
are life positions and are really the most
alluring prizes remaining within the gift
of the administration.
