thorities. No, but it is winked at, and
blackmail is levied in the way of period
ical fines, which is far worse than licens-
ing the system and recognizing it as
being what so many call it, "a necessary
evil"
Candidly and in all seriousness, Great
Falls, built as it was upon virgin soil,
and on the banks of d stream that might
be taken as the emblem Of purity, should
never have permitted this dreadful NAL
ady of eifete civilization to gain Il footing
here. Immoral beings might not be en-
tirely shut out, but "A recognized system
of immortality need not be tolerated.
Shutting out the Chinese gave the city
a kind of local celebrity for wise exclu-
%elveness. To have made the brothcl an
im~possibility would have made the city
IA model for the world. Suppress this
terrible evil while tire city is young and
her whole career, the great destiny that
Fate holds in store for her, will be lit by a
kindlier sun and will never be darkened
10y the mists of despair.

ANNEX uAN Ar.

There Is clearly a strong public seuti-
mcnt IN this country IN favor Of the an.
Ieyation Ivy our government of the
Hawaiian islands. Such an occasion as
Is now presented will probably never be
repeated. and if we do not avail our
selves Of it care will be taken by England
to put the matter in such shape as to
prevent us from attaining these Islands
for all time to come.
The islands appear to have no feasible
plan of self government now that the
miserable preteXt of a monarchy has
been done away with. The ruling classes
seem determined to secure the counte.
nanco and support of a great power, and
they naturally come first to the United
States. If rejected they are almost GER
tain to make a similar offer to England,
and there is no danger Of rejection in
that quarter.
No good end can be subseryed by this
govern lent keeping aloof any longer
from opportunities to acquire, by lawful
methods, new territory. There will
naturally arise a certain amount of diff
fculty in arranging for the proper gov
ernment Of a people like that inhabiting
the Sandwich islands. but a really able
man sent there as governor, under a wise
and clear law regulating such Offices,
might be able to accomplish great good
FOR the people Of the islands and for the
government that appointed him. Under
the protection Of this government the
islands would soon become prosperous
and thickly settled by a superior race.
u take possession of these islands un.
der present circumstances is a very diff
fere1t matter from a war of conquest, or
forc,b.e annexation. We should be in
frlnging upon the rights of nobody, but
simply accepting what is cheerfully of
fered. Wherefor, we say, let us by all
means annex the Sandwich islands and
make them forever a part Of the terri
tory Of the United States.

BEECHER'S VOTE.

In announcing his intention to vote
for the first democratic senatorial candi-
date who can be elected by his vote,
Representative Beecher, of this county,
has done exactly what this paper has al
ways believed and frequently intimated
that he would do.
People who supposed that Mr.. Beecher
was tied to anybody's apronstring did
not know what they were talking about.
They did not know the man. He has
felt ever since the election that he owed
his support to the democratic party and
has been waiting only to see the repre-
sentatives of that party in the Legislature
unite on a candidate for the senate that
ne might prove his loyalty 10y making
such candidates election sure.
What is the use of fooling away more
time: What is the use of democrats
who have the honor of their party at
heart making a holy show Of themselves?
AS Mr.. Beecher says. their present tao
ties are mere boys play, and quite I'M
worthy Of serious minded men. The
democrats know that it is in their power,
with the aid Of Mr.. Boecher, to elect IA
senator. and So TO put an end to this un-
seemly wransle. The people expect
them to get together and perform this
duty without further delay.

CHAPLAIN SNIDER'S PRAYER.

1t is said to be a characteristic of med.
icine men in the old Indian tribes to get
things mixed up, and to judge from the
prayer of Chaplain Snider Of the Mon
tana legislature the other day it would
seem that the prayermen now and then
find themselves in a similar dilemma.
Mr.. Snider began his petition by an
announcement to the Almighty that he
had been asked to invoke divine interest
in the affairs of the state, and, by infer
ence, in the senatorial contest, and ne
asked the Great Judge of heaven and
earth point blank to bring the minority
to their senses and cause them to sup
port the judgment Of the majority, or
words to that effect.
This would seem to have been a ruse
or else "a practical joke on the part of
War Horse Sanders. AS things now
stand he is the senatorial choice of more
of the voters than any other candidate
he having thirty-three votes to Mr..
Clark's twenty-thrce. Is it possible that
the Wal Horse is so hungry for a con-
tinuarce of government fodder, and the
outlook here is SO gloomy for him that
he must needs take an appeal to the
other world? Or was Brother Snider
thinking only of the democratic contest,
and was it the millionaire candidate
from Silver Bow who requested this
petition to the divinity:
Perhaps the secret may never be
known, bat ali laymen will agree that it
would be a mean advantage for any IAN

THE UNIVERSITY BILL.

According to the programme the uni
versity bill came up in the senate yes
terday, and the division cohorts showed
their hands in great style. 1t was clear
that Senator Gibson, in spite of his mas
terly plea for patriotic action in this
matter, is in the minority as the cham
pion of consolidation, and that selfish
interest rather than wisdom is going to
rule in this matter so far as the senate
is concerned.
There is good reason to hope, however,
that the house will take a different view
Of the question and insist on an amend
with Mr.. Gibson's proposition. There
are men of affairs in the house who can
appreciate what a cash endowment of
100000 would mean, and what an adj
vantage it would be to the state to have
the three colleges combined on one
grand university foundation.
Senator Gibson's offer on the part of
Great Falls is one which should set the
members of the house to thinking.
There is a prospect that the senate may
pass the bill giving the university to
Missouia Internationally. Then will
come the agricultural college to Boze-
man in like manner and also the school
Of mines to Butte, and the state will have
given for nothing a lot of miserable.
starveling schools that will never
amoun to anything. Consider for one
moment what a difference it would make
to the state and to the standing Of these
institutions if Mr.. Gibson's suggestion
were acted on and consolidation were
adopted. \. splendid cash endowment
and IA campus Of 320 acres would be a
magnificent beginning. Let the iustitu
ton thus combined go 20 the highest
bidder. No better method of settling
the question could be hit upon. and we
trust that the patriotic and public
spirited members Of the house will give
it their serious consideration.

ELECTION of senators by the direct
vote of the people is being clamored for
in all sections Of the union. Several
state legislatures have sent memorials to
congress on the subject, and it is now
practically certain that senatorial reform
is among the near possibilities. When
senators are chosen by the popular vote
the |. 5. senate will be "a very different
thing from the mob of stuffed plutocrats

THr Mlssoula Democrat has. as it
says. single handed and alone opened
the war for Il division Of the state of
Montana into two separate common
wealths. The Democrat has not given
any details. but for its information it is
reminded that this paper predicted
during the capital fight in October, that
if the capital went to the west side the
state would, in the zeal future, he cut in
two at a line drawn north and south on
the eastern boundary of Lewis and
Clarke county. That is one of the posi-
BILE e~ventualities Of the future, as the in
terests and opinions of eastern Montana
will be somewhat different from those of
the western part of the state. There
will be a new state out here one of these
days and Great Falls will be its capital.
SO the Democrat will not be single
handed and alone for a very long length
of time.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is the wish of
the ships company for you to say
a few words in your respected pa
per in remembrance of our poor
dog "Finnegan," who used to fol-
low the Boston's battalion so faith
fully, and who was the pet of every
man before and abaft the mast.
Although almost everybody in the
city knew the affection the men of
the Boston felt for "Finnegan," the
uncomfortable appetite of some ma
tive for roast dog has caused him
to pick up our favorite on the street
and take him home, it is supposed,
to make a meal of. The ships
company is enraged; call it an
outrage; and swear to get even on
the "dogeater."
Very respectfully,
