Love Your Ncighbor as YOURSELF"

Tho recent effort of some c~onspicuously
plous men to seize for their own coun-
try's benefit a country which belongs to
another race points the moral of Herbert
Spencer's assertion that what men be.
lieve they believe is very different from
what they really do believe. The actions
OF Americans in regard to Hawaii rem
der these words of Spencer peculiarly
interesting: "A society in which the
most exalted principles of self sacrifice
for the benefit of neighbors are enunci-
ated may he a society in which unscru-
pulous sacrifice of alien fellow creatures
is not only tolerated, but applauded.
Along with professed anxiety to spread
these exalted principles among heathens
there may go the deliberate fastening of
a quarrel upon them with a view to an
neXlng their territory. Men who every
Sunday have listened approvingly to in
functions carrying the regard for other
people to an impracticable extent may
yet line themselves out TO slay at the
word of command any people in any part
OF the world, utterly Indifferent to the
right or wrong of the matter fought
about. Boston Transcript.

CLIMATE AND SUN SPOTS.

All the weather prophets are bafled
by the climatic abnormalities of the last
few months in various parts of the coun.
try. Even the "oldest inhabitant" has
given it up as a bad job, and the astrono.
mers are the only ones who offer a tangi
BILE explanation. They say all this
weather is due to sun spots.
Sun spots have .been known to exist
since the days If Herschel and probably
earlier, but it is only by the perfected in
struments of modern times that any
definite studies have been made of them.
ms year the spots are in their maxi
mum phase and the entire surface of the
sun seems to he in a state of agitation.
80 great is the disturbance there that
the astronomers believe it is having an
effect on the climate of the earth. BY
comparison it has been ascertained that
the most intense climatic irregularities
of the earth at other periods have been
at such times as the present, when the
sun spots were at their worst.
Unusual interest centered in the
recent eclipse on this account and gov
eminent expeditions from France and
England were stationed at favorable
points on the coasts of Brazil and Africa
where the totally lasted about four
minutes. Their observations, from The
brief reports thus far received, are be-
lieved to have been entirely successful,
and when their final reports are mace
they will probably throw a good deal of
light on the subject of sur spots. 1t
will soon be In order for some shrewd
yankee to invent a spot remover for
use on the sun to prevent such billiards
and cyclones as have visited the earth |

The evils and extremes of race preju.
dice were well illustrated by the action
OF the Union League club of New York
the other day in blackballing Theodore
Seligman who had been proposed for
membership. Mr.. Seligman is, of course,
a jew, and a brother of A. j. Seligman,
the well-known Helena capitalist. lie
was b~lackballed solely because of race
prejudice, and the incident has called
forth the following comment from Rabbi
Benjamin, one of the most enlightened
OF American Hebrews. From his pulpit
on Saturday the Rabbi said:
The Israelite who applied for admis-
sion to the club is a born American and
graduate Of Harvard college. He is a
gentleman of the highest social and
commercial position, and such being the
case, all true men, all true Americans
and all true Christians must agree with
me that the action Of the 13G men who
blackballed him was unmanly, un. Ameri-
can and un-Christian. They did not act
as men, and they did not act as Ameri-
SouS' Dut TeuleunDeT tElS Is only a
tempest in a teapot. Do not pay any at
tention to the utterances of the Hebrew
press of the city, which | notice this
week gives too much importance to the
incident. and would make you believe
that this is only the beginning of a
movement against the Jews in this city.
1t Is not so. On the contrary, it is only
a small remnant Of the ignorant predu-
dice which once existed toward those of
our faith. and which, under the enlight-
ened influences of education, is fast dis
appearing. DO not let US lose our re-
llglon and attempt to retaliate for any
Sights put upon us. Let US prove by
our actions that we are fit to sit side by
side with the best in the land, and those
who do not care to associate with us
may hold aloof.
Most Americans have fondly believed
the days of such narrowness as the
action of the club signifies, had gone for
ever, but the old virus crops out now and
then, and always among men who have
too much idle time.

THERE is good news from,Chicagc
which gives the lie to some of the re
ports concerning the policy of the new

ing an order calling on all keepers Of

their places within twenty-four hours
Ii the order is violated the violators will
be arrested and prosecuted. In view OF
the fact that the sporting element OF
Chicago worked hard for Carter Hari.

like a thunderbolt. 1t was the stock ar.
gument of the newspapers opposed to
Harrison-and that included all the
Chicago papers but two that his cleo
ton would mean the running of the
town on the wide open plan the next two
Years. That is what Harrison himself
had promised his supporters. Not only
the sporting element, but a large num-
Der of the so-called respectable element
rallied to H%arrison's support because a
wlde-opsn policy during the fair meant
more money in circulation and prosperi-
ty for the tradesmen. This is the age of
and even Mr.. Harrison has evil

Duplicate Whist For Lent.

Duplicate whist is a fashionable Lent
en- recreation. Clubs are organized with
~patronesses like the dancing and sewing
classes. These clubs are not large as a
rule, 20 members being a good number,
but they are very jolly, many of them
meeting in the mornings. There are
mixed clubs for evening play of the (for
the moment) fascinating phase Of the ia
nous game. For the benefit of those
who may not yet have been initiated in
its mysteries it may be explained that
this form of whist differs from the usual
game only in its name of deciding the
winner. Every quartet is provided with
stiff, black pasteboards, about 10 inches
square, on which are fitted four rubber
bands.
AS a hand is played it is retained and
slipped under the band in front of the
player. Then the board is laid aside and
another is taken until the number of
boards provided, which may be from six
to a dozen OF even more. is exhausted.
Then the same sets of players begin
again with their first board, playing the
hands first played by their opponents,
the scoring pair being that which makes
the most from the same hand. 1t is a
pretty and interesting variation of the
plain game, and the blackboards litter
many an uptown drawing room during
the p%enitential mornings. -New York
Times.

THIS bit of advice is given to newspa.
per readers by the Newspaper Man" an
organ of the craft published al San
Francisco: "Don't forget the editor
when you have an item. If your wife
whips you, let us know and we will set
you right before the public. IL you
have company, tell US if you are not
ashamed of your visitors. If a ~youngster
arrives at your house and demands food
and raiment, buy a quarters worth of
cigars and come around, and If you are a
cash subscriber we will furnish a name
for him or her as circumstances warrant.
If you have a social gathering of a few
friends, bring around a big cake, six or
seven pies and a ham-not necessarily to
eat, but a guarantee of good faith. You
needn't bother to invite us, as it may be
a little too cool for our wardrobe. We
mention these things because we want
the news" Every live paper wants the
news and tries to get it, and the men
who really live are those who tell the
newspaper men Of every news item they

MIR. GLADSTONE, like this paper, ia
vors the eight-hour day for miners. The
great statesman speaking to a deputa.
ton of coal miners at Durham the other
day said that he regarded the making OF
terms between employers and employed
as the normal method for adjusting the
hours of labor. The workers should re-
spect individual freedom. Nevertheless
eight hours a day was long enough, in
his opinion, for labor under ground. The
proposition fits Montana as well as En-

The lobby was crowded to s~uffocation.
The murmur of voices was stilled. The
sllutfiing of feet over the marble floor
ceased. An venue was made through
the solid mass of humanity. Some men
barred their heads.
They lifted his lifeless form gently
from the floor near the entrance to tho
barroom. Plying eyes fell upon that
white, bloodless face set in the rigors
OF death. Every bone in that limp
clay had been broken. His young life
had been crushed out of him, yet so sud.
denly that he didn't know what struck
him.
What did it?' asked the man with
the turtle soup complexion of the man
with a stiff neck.
He thoughtlessly said aloud, Colonel,
come in and drink and they responded
to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Star.
