A NEW ERA DAMNED.
Kansas Populist Governor LEVEL
ing Takes His Seat.

The state of Kansas now has a
populist governor. He took the ex-
ecutive chair last Monday and deliv-
cred a speech sparkling with the
themes of the new party. At 1910
John w. Bridethal, chairman of the
peoples party state central commit
tee, and master of ceremonies, intro
duced Rev. w. G. Todd, who invok-
ed divine blessing. Then governor
Humphrey spoke briefly, congratu-
lating his e When Gov.
Lewelling appeared the first real
hearty demonstration of the occasion
shown. In his address he said in
part: "The survival of the fttest' is
the government of brutes and rep
tiles, and such philosophy must give
place to government which recogni-
yes human brotherhood to protect
the rights of the laborer and produce
er. Sectional animosities should be
forgotten.
"The s~tate," he continued, els
greater than party; but the citizen
is greater than the state, while the
family the citizen produces is the
priceless jewel of our civilization.
The problem is nov to make it poss-
ible for the citizen to live by his
own labor. If government fails of
these things it ceases to he of ad.
vantage to the citizen. He is alb
solved from his allegiance and is no
longer held b, civil compact. But
government is not a failure. This
is the generation which has come to
the rescue. Conscience is in the
saddle and the grandeur Of civiliza-
ton shall be emphasized by the
dawn of a new era, in which the
people shall reign, when the with
cred hand of want shall not be out
stretched for charity; when liberty,
equality and justice shall have per-
manent abiding place in this repub-
lic."
The oath Of office was then admins
tered by Chief Justice Horton.

TO HELP SILVER.

Now is the time when some good
stout ticks should be dealt in favor
of silver and when a systematic eff
fort should be made for the aid of
the cause which is the vital all to IL
western states. Congress is in ses-
sion, and discussions upon silver are
in order, actually going on at this
present time, without the shadow of
an organized plan to secure any good
legislation. What we should have,
and which would do more good pro-
badly than editors prayers, would
be a good committee at Washington
of staunch workers, who could be
furnished the money for effectual
operations and let them do Il little
lobbying in the right direction.
1t is quite positive that we cannot
hope to be free from the eastern
yoke until we have stirred up the
mutual effort at home, until we have
learned to work unitedly together
for a common interest. 1t is no idle
dream to think of this remedy or of
its immediate application. The
camps of this state are all willing
enough to act in behalf of silver.
Those in other states are agitated
over discussions of methods and
their relative values. Every silver
camp and every silver miner is Wig
orously discussing methods when
such parties ought to be adopting
heroic treatment and putting on
plenty of it.
1t is not for us to sit idly down
and wait till the money centers see
fit to come to our rescue. But tc
set actively at work, raising funds
and selecting men to see that al
possible force is brought to beal
upon the object of our demands
There is enough here for a whole
sermon.

MEAGHER county alone is as large
as the state of New Jersey or as
Connecticut and Delaware together.

A MOVEMENT is on foot to range
for at least one term of the district
court per year in the town of Mel
hart. There are many reasons why
this should be done among them be-
ing the fact hat over one third OF
the cases taken to the district court
annually are from this side of the
county, most of them being in Nei-
hart alone. While other towns are
securing such favors we might as
we'll get a little recognition.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1893-01-14
NEIHART N A COURT.

AN EFFORT will be made within
the coming week to secure a special
act of Legislature providing for the
sitting of one term of the district
court each year at Neihart. II lies
in the power of the Legislature to
name the place of the sitting of court.
1t is highly probable that the spring
term will be named as the one to sit
at this place, owing to the difficulty
of passing the divide of the Little
Belts to the county seat at that time
of the year. District Judge Henry
resides in Livingston and can easily
come by rail to Neihart.
More than one third of the litiga-
ton in Meagher county is carried on
from this side of the county. Ex-
pensive suits and costly trials are
made vastly more expensive and
costly by reason of the transporta-
ton every term of court of 100 10
$50 persons over the range to bsW
testimony, to act as jurymen andTo
assist justice in various ways. The
cost to the county, to say nothing Of
the drain of money from this side
of the county runs up in the tens OF
thousands every term.
Then the activity of trade and in
dustry at this place is so much ahead
of that in other towns of the county
as to cause a larger demand for law
and greater resort to litigation
than in any other town in Meagher
county. 1t is practically the only
town in the county where business
is good and where trade lines are not
cramped to death.
A man has only to sit for a minute
to think of a hundred economic reas-
ons why we should have a sitting OF
district court at this place.

1T IS EASY TO QUIT SMOKING.
An E~nglishman's Interesting and In.
structive Experience.

Robert Barr in the Idler: What
| like about the habit of smoking is
the ease with which it may be
abandoned. Many vices such as
opium eating, whisky drinking, ly-
ing or reading newspapers, once &C.
quired, obtain a certain hold on a
man that is difficult to shake off
Not so with smoking. The most in
veterate smoker can quit it without
the slightest trouble, and does-oft.
en-. I have been in the habit Of
ceasing to smoke once in about every
three months, and | always yea of
on New Years day. l think the
smoker who does not occasionally re.
solve again to touch tobacco
lacks some of those noble qualities
which have made our nation sc
bright and good and causes us to be
the envy of foreigners.
This commendable resolution
should be made frequently and, witt
constant practice, the abjuring of to.
bacco becomes an easy and pleasant
exercise of the will. Neither is the
resumption of smoking attended b,
any serious difficulty. ] have Otter
quit smoking forever in the
forenoon and begun again ii
the afternoon without experiencing
the slightest Inconvenience. Once

wish l could record for the satisfact
ion of those who purpose a like de.
sertion the effect the absence of the
narcotic had ON me; but the fact is ]

ed from the abstinence or not.

My impression is hal | did not,
but then | was hardly myself that
week, and it vas scarcely a fair test.
wandered aimlessly about like a
lost spirit, | constantly felt my pock-
cts in an absent minded way and lit
matches merely to blow them out
again. These unexplainable symp-
toms disappeared when l 'took on"
tobacco again, and so l am forced to
the conclusion that smoking is good
for the health.
TO enjoy tobacco thoroughly you
must be moderate in its use. Put a
limit on yourself and see that you
do not exceed that limit. This ex-
e%rcises the will and makes a resolute
man of you. l never allow myself
to exceed the limit no matter how
strongly tempted | may be. If l
find myself yearning to smoke more
than my allowance l merely "raise
the limit" which phrase is, l am told
also used in the wicked but fascin-
ating game of poker. This is a sim
pie and easy thing to do. Say your
limit is two ounces of tobacco a day,
and you find by constant experiment
that duty impels you to use two and
a half ounces, then raise the limit to
three ounces, which leaves a margin
for accidents.
Every man, patriotic man, has his
responsibilities to his country, and if
everybody suddenly stopped smok-
ing and drinking, what would be.
come of the revenue?
Looking at the matter, then, from
the lofty standpoint of love Of coun-
try, every man should fix his limit as
high as his conscience will let him.
| place my limit at 1876 cigarettes a
day, and ! never exceed it. l have,
however, been gradually compelled
to raise the limit from the simple
box of ten, at which l began, to the
number just mentioned, as ! acquir-
ed greater and greater facility in the
use of the cigarette.
This shows what may be done by
constant practice and assidioAs at
tention to the task undertaken. l
set down these simple facts with no
desire to boast. 1t is no genius on
my part at all, but simply dogged
perseverance. Any able bodied
man may accomplish the same de-
gree of moderate perfection merely
by putting his mind to it.

Ct. Falls Tribune: Mrs. Pollard,
widow of the author of "The Lost
Cause" asks congress to pass a law
abolishing divorce in the District of
Columbia and all other territory over
which congress has authority. Con-
gress might as we'll pass a law to a.
bolish black birds or white cats. If
she pursues the subject far enough
Mrs. Pollard can also write of anoth-
er lost cause. Divorce is the only
antidote for unhappy marriage.

THERE will probably be two more
counties in the subdivisions Of this
state when the present legislatures
work is done, as Teton county with
powerful advocacy is proposed to be
cut off Choteau county, taking a lit
tie also from Cascade and Lewis and
Clarke. The other probable subdi.
vision is hat which will form Flat
head county upon the north side OF
Missoula. 1t is probably a wise
subdivision since there is but one
county in the state as small as the
state of Rhode Island, and three
counties now are larger each than
the state of West Virginia.

IT WILL be sorry indeed to see the
different branches of the state edu-
c%ational institution scattered to the
four of a FIVE or six cornered
state in order to satisfy the local
hobby of this or that village. How
much wiser, how much better for all

located at n place. 1t is not nee
essary, nor does it follow, that. be-
cause founded at one locality, they
must needs be under the same man.
agement, or ever dependent in any
manner upon each other. But to To-
cate them at n and the same place
gives a student the advantage which
he should have of choosing an elect

more departments at the same time.
It is to be hoped that Legislators will
see the wisdom of this before cast

any just reason for haste in their
establishment.
