STRING or VICTORIES.

This hns been u week OF democratic

tions. Helena set n lively pnce one
week ago Yesterday, but Butte, Living

Falls fell gracefully in line, though
not quite oqualling tho Queen City's

The results, however, are satisfactory
to the average democratic layman, for

LET US HAVE RACING.

The interview with Secretary Pope in
Sundays INDEPENDENT was an accurate
statement Of q situation which must be
relieved if we are to have racing in Hell
ena this year. 1t is certainly unfair to
expect tho racing association to make
good q yearly deficit in order to furnish
sport for our citizens, and it is the duty
Of all to take an active interest in main
tuinlng the association. All that is
asked is a guarantee against a possible
small loss and certainly there ought to
be sufficient public spirit in Helena to
provide this.
For many years the association in
this city has furnished the best racing
in the northwest. Greater Inducements
to horse owners have here been offered
than in any town outside Mon
tana several timeo larger. The
crack horses of the western coun-
try have here met yearly to contest for
supremacy and the race meetings have
been the occasions of large gatherings OF
Montanians. The abandonment of it
this year would prove a serious depriva-
ton to the state, the circuit, and Hell
ena. This we do not believe will result,
but in order to prevent it immediate
action will be necessary. The commit
tee, which viii, soon make the rounds to
determine whether Helena wants racing
should meet with a very generous re-
spouse. No business nan should fail to
subscribe, for a subscription in this
case means an actual investment in a
local enterprise. Let every man do
something and the racing this year in
Helena will be quite up to former stan
dards and as before, will prove a eason
of honest sport for the lovers of fast
horses and a time when the others may
get together in social recreation.

The month Of April is not very popu-

to mark the ruling mood of this capricious
month; and when April is in her most win
ming ouise, she is full of smiling warmth
and bird songs-and of all the multitudin-
GUS exhiliarating evidences of the true
spring. The real Joy of April is in its
spirit of youth-the fulluess Of the begin

THE California legislature never stood
very high in reputation with other leg
~islatlve bodies, but it recently passed Il
bill which, with some notifications,
would prove a most excellent measure.
1t briefly provides that the employment
Of oil labor on more than six days Il
week shall be Illegal and that the en-
ployer shall be held to answer for a
misdemeanor.
1t would, perhaps, have been better to
have made it optional with the en-
ployee whether he should work on seven
days in the week, but to have made it Il
misdemeanor to compel him to work dur
ing that time. This would have been a
sensible Sunday law for the benefit OF tho
working classes. Every laborer is en-
titled to one days recreation in a week

old adage that call work and no play

The Dog Nuisance.

To The INDEPENDENT: 10 any one of the
hundred or more persons who saw the dog
fight on Main street this afternoon it must
have occurred that Helena is the most dog
cursed city in the country. Here were two
mastitfs. huge beasts, who are savage and
dangerous as a tiger when aroused, prone
nading the streets under no control what
ever. If this particular animal had had
soma boy or citizen by the throat, there
might have been q chance of putting an end
to this plague of dogs. No matter where
you walk in this city. there seem to be as
many dogs as pedestrians. and the cir night
and day is musical(?) with their yelping.
A dog in its proper place is q very useful
animal. but what earthly use there can be
in letting these animals ruE. all over the city
l fail TO see. You canno drive or walk in
any part of the city without having Il dozen
dogs swapping at your heels. The dog days
of summer will soon be- here. and if the
police would only insist on dogs being
chained up ut their owners homes (their
proper place. or muzzled if let loose, 1 am
sure there would be general rejoicing. You
are always ready to take up q grievance;
here is one endorsed by every sensible per,
son in Helena. Sincerely ours D..

not be far distant if the saints

work of making politics better
