WORK BEGINS TO-DAY,

The third legislative session OF the
state of Montana will begin at high
noon to-day and will continue during
the next sixty days. Its affairs will be
administered by sixteen senators, eight
of whom were elected in November, and
elected house. In the latter body there
are but two members who belonged to
the last house, Messrs. Bray and Mon
teath of Silver Bow county, though
there are others who have had previous
legislative experience. In the main,
however, it is composed of younger men
than heretofore, men we'll known IN
communities from which they come, but
without that general acquaintance or
familiarity with the state common to
old timers. The house may therefore
be a trifle slow in getting down to work
but there are no reasons for expecting
anything but good work from the rep
resentatives as we'll as the senators,
one-half of whom are now we'll versed in
legislature procedure.
The session should produce important
results. Matters of great moment were
delayed by the long inactivity of a dead
locked legislature. At the last session
there was over-haste in providing for
actual necessities and very little time
for the study Of questions of great inter-
est to the state. We may expect more
attention to diversified subjects this
year. Questions, for instance, like the
framing of irrigation laws, providing
state aid to immigration, revising
election laws and other SUBJECTS of COM
mon interest should be thoroughly
worked out into beneficial results.
There will be fine opportunities for
legislators ambitious to do something
more than earn salaries. 1t will be a
place for aspiring men to make more
than local regulations though we fore
see no occasions for the display of
forensic eloquence.
The study of broad measures, per-
sistent energy in driving them through
and prompt attention to business will
count when the sixty days record is
finished.
With the hope, therefore, that the re-
turns of this session may be of unusual
value to Montana we wish for the legis-
lators harmony and hard work in their
councils and a pleasant stay in the
Queen City of the Rockies.

THE Choteau county commissioners
will resume the canvassing of Box Elder
at 10 o'clock this morning. AS there are
no returns to canvass this work would
ordinarily occupy little time. In this
instance, however, the board will make
oil efforts TO find traces of at least one
honest American vote at the precinct
and the report may therefore be DELAYED
a few days.

The atmosphere is no longer charged
with rumors of the Journals resump-

run for office.

So many ladies have been attacke J
recently on the streets of Altoona

cluded to protect themselves in first

from the Tribune of November 4th:
"A lady yesterday sent a handsome

tie request that lie put his name up
on it, thus signifying to her mind
that she had a right to use it. There
was no intimation given as to whom
she desires to go gaming for and

The Cleveland administration empt-
iedthe shops and manufacturing estab
lishments of workmen, by proposing
TO reduce the tariff on foreign goods.
The tariff has not been reduced as
yet, but the promised reduction has
destroyed the business of the country
for thc time being, and if the Ceve-
land administration carries out its
threat of tariff reduction the business
of the country will have to be Ieor-
ganized with wage reduction of
20 to so per cent But says the
democratic reformers, if wages go to
25 and 50 cants day, what's the
difference if everything else spropor
tionately low. The best answer to
such an argument is to present the
state Of living Of the wage earners Of
Europe where the wages are low,
with the state Of living Of wage earn
ers in the United States, Americans
don't want to bring their country to
the level of European ways of living.
If you want TO bring the people 10
a state OF European living, low wages
and low rates for everything. JON

want to live like an American, i'm

Railway Mall Service.


From tbs Philadelp ph'a Record.
Next to the killing of engineers,
fremen and brakemen, the danger to
life from employment in tho railway
service Is perhaps best illustrated by
the annual slaughter Of clerks on the
cars. Assistant Postmaster General
Bell IN his animal report shows that
ten clerks were killed, sixty six ger
iously injured and one hundred and
fifteen slightly injured during the
last fiscal year. These casualties were
the result of 403 train accidents. We
have big country and proportion
ately big railroad mileage, but the
risk 70 life and lab IN handling the
mails on the cars seems to be unduIy
great.

The Republican party raised enough
revenue from the tariff to run the
government without single man and
women feeling the expenses of gov
eminent. The times were prosperous
during republican rule, but Cleveland
is scarcely warm in the white house
when it proposed to change to Euro
pean rates and ways Of doing business
and then comes the panic as the re-
suit of the proposed change, and
every tuing drops toward European
rates and millions of people are
thrown out of employment, and now,
IN going from bad to worse the adj
ministration proposes to make up the
loss Of revenue by taxing incomes.
The people will not submit to havs
their affairs pryed into by a govern
ment spy in times of profound peace,
but even if they will allow the Cleve
landers to ransack their business af-
fairs, that viii not put single man
to work, it will not restore or revive
a single industry. It will only raise
up set of spies on the business of
of the country that should not be
tolerated among freemen in times OF
profound peace
