MONTANA l. Alt RIGHT.


The news from Montana comes better
than at first, making it seem almost certain
that the Democracy viii this year recover
the state and reclaim their heritage. Not
only was the Republican stronghold of
Helena taken on Monday, but the Demo
Gratis carried everything before them at
Billings and Boseman, the only other i'm
portant cities in the state where elections
were held. The party lines were clearly
and closely drawn in these elections,
both parties desiring TO gain whatever ad-
vantage there might be in the moral effect
which these preliminary skirmishes would
hsve.on the greater contest next fall The
issues were clearly defined and the battles
were fought along the lines of the prnci-
pies of the two parties. The victory has
fallen to the side of the Democracy, and the
effect will necessarily be encouraging. Dem
ocrats will now go into the struggle with
confidence added to determination, and
we do not see how they can fail OF success.
A significant circumstance may be men
TONED, as indicating that this year Demo-
Gratis will be true to party principles and
will not permit themselves to be len eff on
side issues. Montana, of course, is pro-
nounced in it's affections for silver. Prac-
tically everybody is for free coinage, and
nobody will tolerate any suggestion of
compromise or halfway measures. The
failure to place the BLAND bill in
the line of immediate passage in the
House the other day, was at once
taken advantage of by the Republican
press and campaign orators, and the Demo
cratic party in Congress was made to p Sc
IN the attitude Of having defeated free
coinage and as eeing opposed to silver
The Democratic party was charged with
having bowed down before Wall street and
confessed its subserviency to the "gold-
bugs" If this were true, the Democracy
would naturally be regarded as the enemy TO
Montana, whose prosperity depends so
largely upon silver mining. The business
did not work, however, as the returns
show. The Democrats stood by their
party and refused to be hoodwinked or
humbugged. This incident is of interest
and Importance throughout the silver min
ing region of the West We may con-
tidently expect that the Democrats will be
true to their party this year, without re-
gard to the action of Congressman on
questions which have no competition with
party primo pies and which are lot legiti
mate party issues.
Montana is naturally Democratic. 1t was
in 1855 that she went out of the fold, and
she did that in a temper of resentment the
Democrats in Congress having unwisely
and in partisan spirit having opposed the
emancipation of the territory. If the Demo
Gratis had not opposed statehood Montana
would never have gone astray. However,
that has all passed. The people have got
ten over their feeling of resentment; they
have had an experience and heard all they
want to know of Republican rule, and now
they are coming back into the ranks. In
November all the lost ground will be re-
covered, and the great state will thereafter
stand firmly in the Democratic column.

ON TO PIoCHE.

Everybody hopes the announcement
which has, come over the wires two or
three times lately-the latest being in
special to THE HERALD yesterday-to the
effect that the Union Pacific would com
plete its line to Phoebe this year, will be
verified; but there are not many who will
have faith until work has actually begun.
The failure to build the line dozen years
ago was an error of railway Judgment
which one would not expect in the man
ayers of great corporation seeking bust
ness. The abandonment of the project
year or two ago after much of the grading
had been completed and the ties OBJ
tanned was worse than a blunder,
and nobody has ever attempted TO
explain the proceeding. The officials have
for years been in possession of informa-
ton that the mining districts of south
eastern Nevada would furnish traffic in
suring profitable business for the road,
and then it has always been understood
that when the Union Pacific went to Cal
ifornia it would be by this route, SO much
of which would be covered by the Phoebe
line. Truly, railway people move in
mysterious way at times.
Let US try TO think that the Union Pa
cifc owners have finally concluded that
contain something worth going after and
when the road reaches Phoebe it will not
be long before there viii be stretching
out towards California, giving Ctah an
other outlet to the coast

THE WORLDS FAIR BILL.

After ali it may be that Congress will
pass the Utah Worlds fair bill which was
vetoed by the governor. The House com
mittee on territories, en- Tuesday, reported
the bill favorsbly, the report itself being a
very strong argument in favor of the pass
age OF the bill. The report is also signed
by all members Of the committee, hence it
is not likely the bill will encounter opposi-
ton when called up for consideration.
There is no party politics in it, and the com
mittee promptly dispose of the governors
unwarranted claim to the right TO name
the board of commissioners for CARRYING
the bill into effect, as follows:
This object on related TO the second section OF
the bill which undertook to constitute the
board and 10 name its members, and the objec-
ton was based upon the opinion that the mem
bers OF the board would have been officers
within the meaning OF the provisions of the
quoted section Of the organic act, ana that
therefore their appointment could not be
made by an act OF the legislature
Your committee does not regard 1t as a
material consideration that the governor was
mistaken in his understanding OF that section,
but in support OF the proposition that he was in
error. attention is called TO the same authority
which seems 10 dispose of the opinion that the
men named as commissioners, whose duty is
confined to specific temporary or transient
purpose not political in its nature or arising
from ordinary government affairs, are anything
which creates their functions.

Der of cases of similar character, going

THE OGDEN COURT CLERK.


. Our Washington CORES pendent wires
that there is to be another investiga-
ton by the department of Justice
into the conduct of Judge MIN
ER's court at Ogden. The attorney
general has so informed Chairman WASH
INGToN of the House committee on terrific
ries. We do not understand that charges
demanding an inquiry have been laid
against the Judge himself, although his
honor, few weeks ago, seeing some reck-
less statements in an irresponsible news
paper, precipitously rushed a defense to
the Capital. The allegations of Irregular
ties all seem to run against the clerk of the
court, and the accusations are chiefly that
he has charged illegal fees, an Ogden at
torney named MALoNEY being the princi
pal if not the sole accuser
For the sake of the court, the clerk. the
attorneys and the public we are glad the
investigation is TO be made. and hone il
will be SO thorough as to definitely estab
lish the truth or falsity of what has been
alleged. 1t ought to be comparatively
easy matter to do this. and will be pro-
vided the attorneys frankly tell what thew
know, whether it shall be for or against
the official who is charged with excessive
thrift. The fee bills are plain enough. and
the attorneys will know whether or not
they have been required to pay more than
the law permits.
OF one thing all who enter the
courts are aware, and that is, that
the legal fees attendant upon liti-
cation are themselves so exorbitant as
to make going to law decidedly expensive
luxury; in some cases these fees are SO
high as to amount TO denial of justice, for
The reason that parties who feel that they
have real grievance cannot afford to go
into court for an adjustment of the same.
The law is extremely generous in the mat
ter of official fees, and if clerks go beyond
the statutes they should be brought to task
at promptly as possible.
The HERALD does not pretend famiii-
arity with the facts regarding the Ogden
clerks office; but inasmuch as charges
have been preferred by reputable mem
Der of the bar a thorough investigation
should be made, and lawyers practicing in
that court should tell what they know

to show that the legislature was right and

to.show that the legislature was right and
the governor wrong.
The HERALD did not think Congress
would pass this bill, as in doing so Ii would go
farther than it has ever gone in legislating
Tor the territories, but this report. making
the strong argument that it does, and re-
ceiylng the endorsement Of both Democrats
ana Republicans. makes it more than prob
able that the bill will become law, and
our exhibit at the Worlds fair will be
managed by the board designated by the leg
isiatiVe assembly. Congressman generally
are oeslrous that the exhibition shall be ss
complete and grand as possible and that
every section of the country shall be fairly
represented; and as Utah, through her re
Personalities. has petitioned Congress for
the passage of this bill with the attendant
priyiiegeof making display at Chicago
next year, we may reasonably expect there
will be practical unanimity of mem bers
when the pill shall be placed upon its pass
age.
The affair is assuming decidedly inter-
esting phase and to none can it be more in
terestlng and instructive than to the gov
ernor whose bulldozing tactics were not
successful in this instance.
