MORE rxrLASAr1oSs NEEDED.

II tho Helena Journal cannot devise a
better defense for the city council than
appeared in yesterdays paper it should
remain quiet and thus avoid ridicule
BY turning to it's files Of last August it
will find that tho council passed u reso-
luton ab~olishing the office Of building
inspector. This may or may not have
legally abolished the office. IL was GER
tainly the sense of the council andif fur
Their measures were not taken the coun-
Gil was certainly guilty Of great negli-
gence. But this is not the point SO far
as the proceedings of the last council
meeting are concerned. According to
our contempory, City Attorney Craven
holds that it did not come within his
line Of duty to defend a city officer when
sued for alleged negligence Of duty in
his official capacity. For the sake Of
argument this is admitted. Now, then,
if the city attorney was right why
under the sun did the city assume it to
be its duty to pay Mr.. McNally's attor-
ney's bill? The journal explains it by
saying: H.. @-.N
"As the suit of Mr.. Merritt involved only
Mr.. McNally and his sureties, the city Off
cials probably thought the municipality
lucky to escape being sued itself, and paid
the $50 for expenses because it would not
be fair for the inspector to be put to ex-
penss to defend himself against unjust
suits brought upon him while in the dis
charge Of his Duties" ..-"" f
Nonsense! If the city council did not
think it fair for this expense to be
brought upon McNally in the discharge
of his official duties, why did not the
city attorney defend him? What has
luck got to do with the matter anyhow?
1t is a matter of right or wrong and
justice or injustice to our taxpayers who
pay the money for the city's expenses.
If it is not right for McNally to employ
the city attorney why is it right for the
city council to pay a lawyers bill like
| this for one of it's officers, why'not do
away with the Office of city attorney al
together? As The INDEPENDENT re
marked the other morning, one Of two
things is true; the city attorney should
have defended MoNally Or he should
have paid his own attorneys bill. There
is no getting around this.
The taxpayers have paid pretty liberal
bills in past years for the welfare of this
town, but they like to know whore the
money goes and they do not enjoy an
exhibition of such bad work as has lately
occurred.

GOVERNOR TooLE's proclamation ask
ing the aid Of Montanians for tho relief
OF starving peasants should receive a
generous response. He is quito right in
believing that the citizens OF the state
are ready to relieve tho wants OF others.
This has been demonstrated many
times. The Russian famine grows more
serious from day to day and unless
prompt measures are employed the ter
rible seourge will be almost beyond
check. 1t is time for every Montanian
to contribute something to the relief
and tho work should be done promptly.

HARD TO GET RID OF.

In the February number of the Forum
ex-senator Edmunds contributes IN in
teresting and scholarly article on the
perils Of IL national elections. The
text is suggested by that portion of
President Harrison's message calling
the attention Of congress to the evils Of
the gerrymander. Senator Edmunds
after commenting on the evils that are
likely to follow the apparent success Of
politicians in dividing congressional dis
tricts to suit their purposes, makes sew
eral suggestions. 1t is quite certain that
in the choice of congressman the min
GRITTY selects the majority Of representa-
tiyes in several states. The gerryman=
der from early days has been recognized
by politicians as a legitimate political
vancouver it not justitable in the
proper sense Of the word. 1t has been
resorted to first by one party and then by
another as state administrations have
changed. The president was doubtless
prompted to call special attention to the
subject because the g~errymander has
become far more common within the
past few years, and has been used with
more INSCRIPTIONS audacity as politics
have become more bitter. MI. Ed
munds is quite right in saying: "When
the continued increase and diffusion OF
these practices Of chicanery in politics
shall have poisoned the communities oil
the majority, or even a less number oil
the state, there will be an end of tbs
liberties Of the people both in legal and
moral sense; for the idea Of true libert,
is absolutely opposed to that of frauo
and injustice, as tnato of truth is to false
: hood.' But Senator Edmunds' pes
slmistlc view Of the future may be, per
haps, ]overdrawn. We think that polite
, ians in the days of jackson and Henry
Clay were as bad as those of the presen'
day, though not SO many in number.
MIR. Edmunds, as a remedy, suggests
4 that congress should control the div
ision of districts, and adjust their re
latlye populations upon consideration
OF geography and arithmetic solely
il Races and creeas and parties must b
s dboO! utely lBlOItu. bNL "oulu bucH
n remedy be effective? Is it not reason
d able to think that tho dominant part,
h in congress would quite as readily b
controlled by craftsmanship in the cree
n ton of congressional districts as tn
legislatures OF the several differen
states? Congress has never yet beel
sr credited with more political moralit
at than other election bodies. On the cor
lie trary, the congress of the United State
I'd is the hotbed Of political schemers of th
IN entire country. If congressional di
IS trl,cts were made on the proper lines [
geography and arithmetic it would sti
be necessary to change the lines aftt
is every census. There would then aris
at the usual partisan controversies wit
OF the result that, as now, tho party i
n power would have it's own way. "

Three Kinds of Lfghtning.

According to Arago, the celebrated
French physicist, there are three kinds
of lightning, which he names lightning
of the first, second and third classes.
Lightning of the first class is known as
fork lightning. That of the second
class as sheet lightning, which has no
definite form, but seems to be great
mass Of light. 1t has not the intensity
Of lightning of the first class. When it
occurs behind cloud, it lights up its
outline only. Occasionally it illu inmates
the entire body Of clouds, and appears
to come forth from the very heart of it.
Sheet lightning is very much more fire.

of the third kind is called ball light.

kuB6fNe THE HONEY-coMB.

To get honey ont of the honey comb,
set the pieces of comb on sticks across
opening of an earthen pau and leave them
to drain, tilting them to different angle
daily. The honey that runs out in this
way is perfectly clear and is always sold
at the highest price. When no more
drops from the comb, this is broken up,
laid on piece or Clean, coarse linen, and
twisted in an opposite direction by two
people. The running of honey is slow
process and cannot be fastened, and in
the meanwhile the syrup must be
thoroughly protected from dust "nd in
sect. This can be done by fixing muslin,
tent-fashion, over the pan, its transpar-
ency allowing the process to be watched
meanwhile. Of course these directions
are only for those who raise honey in
small quantities; as for those vino culti-
vate it for the market there are regular
appliances for such work, but there is no
honey surprising this in flavor aud clear

Tie PcachblOw Porcelain.

The peachblow porcelain is OF
Chinese manufacture, and is about three
hundred years old. 1t is not, as is some
times supposed, the designation of a
particular shade Of color, but rare aud
peculiar glaze, which not merely covers
the surface of the vessel, but penetrates
the entire texture of the article, so that
if the same be broken, the internal
structure is identical with that of the
surface. The method by which this re-
suit is reached is unknown, and much
money has been expended in vain to dis
cover it. The ware is, in a sense, there.
fore, the result of happy accident.
Specimens of it are rare in China o.day,
where it is priced as highly as anywhere
else. Most of that of which there il
definite knowledge was taken from China
by tho Dutch in the days when they
monopolized the trade with that coun-
try, and from Holland has made its way
over Europe. The specimens in this
country have almost all of them come
either from Holland direct, or by way
