The Merchants National Bank Will Dis
pose or Them ON Tuesday.
Tho first consignment Of souvenir half
dollars to arrive in Helena was received BY
the Merchants National bank yesterday.
There were 1000 pieces in the lot, and on
Tuesday any one who 80 desires can secure
them at the bank. The price put upon them
by the World's fair people is 81. and ct that
price the Merchants people will sell
them 10 the Helena public. There 10 no
profit in this business for the bank, but
financial institutions all over the country
have agreed TO aid the Worlds fair people
in disposing Of the coins. The first lot Of
fered the public in Chicago went like hot
cakes. aud in the evening OF the day they
were sold they commanded a premium. The
idea is that the coins will not be used a.
money. but will be kept a. souvenirs. The
Merchants will dispose of the coins at the
regular price, and the first to como on Tues
day will DO the frst served. Asa work Of
art they are not excsllsd by any coin ever
minted.

GREEN PASTURES.

Our boys and girls are now. for a sea
son, free. Some OF them have gotten
through" they have graduated--t1ken de-
gees. The faculties have said to them:
Well done. good and faithful servants.
And the season IS full OF JOY and con-
/ gratulations; but of notifications and
disappointments. too. We own that our
hearts even rejoice with sadness; that
our profoundest and warmest interest is
with the unucky in their Affections; not
joyous, but grievous. The game is in
tensely interesting, and we wait for the
next act and the next scene; the change
/ from misery to mIghtiness, as oft as the
1 reverse.
But these fedgllngs, just from the nur-
sery, how unnatural has been their keep
ing: how different from homei How
different from natures methods; from ma
lures air and light and feeling! the best
have been close places; restrictions, diets,
tasks no father, no mother there. What
cravir IS for home have been smothered!
Home thoughts. home affections, home de-
lights all yielding to the hard require
ments Of preparation for the world; TO
find their grand consummation on the
stage with bands Of music and the next
day the names in the newspapers. And
then for the fight following.
We have a suggestion.
Let these poor children take one more
look at home: one more draught from
the old oaken bucket; one more day out
in the field. Let all the lendings Of the
schools be shaken off, all the dyes Of
learning be washed out. and let the young
hearts retain only what makes for perma-
nent good. Let them learn from the hard
~ digestibie lessons and lectures from the
strong food Of their colleges to the diet
that is nearest 10 home and natural food.
There is no such refreshment to the
wearied soul as the Waters Of Shiloh.
that flow softly. In any way you take
them-except theoretically and controver-
sially-the Scriptures are restorers OF the

Mother Goose's Melodies ARE simple and

Fables Of Aesop are the world in look

Nights and Don Quixote are reservoirs |
and lakes OF truth. And the plays of
inartisucal-
ly read-are delicious All these are the
green pastures into which v~e would 'turn

The Clarke county business has an
ugly aspect. The anu-OFerrall side says
that It had 1f votes at the meeting
willie the O'Ferrall side admits that 1t
had only 1872: yet the OFerrall side was
given the delegation. The ant-O Ferrall
side says that their votes were being
counted by two tellers, one an O'Ferrall
man and one opposed to him, and that
While engaged in the count, and having
counted more than 1872 the O'Ferrall teller
heard the announcement that there were
only 1872 voters on the OFerrall side. and
that he thereupon refused 70 continue the
count. alleging that the voters would
not stand stiH. The OFerrall side says
the tellers TO count the .anti-O'Ferrau
ticket failed 10 agree upon a report as
to the count whereupon the chairman
ordered recount, which the anu-O'Fer-
rail- men refused to make, and that the
chairman thereupon declared the OFer-
rail- delegates elected.
If the anti-O'Ferrall men had, as they
claim, fifteen more voters than the O'Fer-
rail- men, they should have had the dele
cation, and It should not have been per-
mitted for them 10 be cut out of their
delegation either by an OFerrall teller
refusing to perform his duties, or
irritated men refusing to 90 into re-
count. Measures should have been taken
TO determine fairly and with certainty
which side had the majority and the dele
cation should have been awarded to that
side.
The Times neither advocates nor op-
poses the nomination of any Of the can
didates for Governor. But The Times
demands fair play an around, and so this
Clarke business should be inquired into
and righted also, and we take this occasion
TO say that pro ceilings Of this sort will
bring upon the party responsible for them
all the censure and opposition that The
Times can offer.

DR.. Hunter Mcclure is a great be-
lever IN quarantine as the best means Of
preventing inroads Of disease. and main
talns that we should not trust to the
acts OF State and municipal ,ernments
alone. but that we should have a national
quarantine law. In his address before the
American Medical Association recently
held in Milwaukee, Of which he was the
president last year. he says, among other
arguments for national quarantine:
Reared in a school Of strict construc-
tion as 10 the rights of the States, 1 do
not hesitate 20 declare that the time has
at last arrived I'm this country when,
owing to the imperative exigency growing
out OF our Great increase in population,
the facilities for travel and inter
communication, and the constant flow Of
Immigration from all parts OF Europe,
all patriots. representing every shade of
political opinion, should unite In de-
handing Of Congress the pas sage Of
law strong, concise and yet comprehen-
sive. that will enable the Government
90 properly protect it's citizens against
disease whenever in the discretion of its
officers the emergency may have arisen.
There Is as much reason why the power
OF the Federal Government should be
invoked 10 aid in repelling the advent Of
pestilence, as 20 aid In repelling the ad-
vent Of hostile fleet or army"
The Doctor puts his case strongly. and
well, and his remarks will demand atten-
tion and thought Since Interference with
the rights of the States. however, and
consequent increase OF centralized power
In Washington is a dangerous thing, it
would be wise in Congress TO do what II
can TO prevent the advent Of disease
from abroad by a careful but material
modification Of our immigration laws,
so as 70 avert the necessity for a national
quarantine
