CARLISLE AND SILVER.

1t is generally understood that Mr..
Cleveland has offered the treasury port

Kentucky, but the more doubtful ques-

in public service has given better proof

is naturally assumed that NJ. Carlisle
would be first called when the south was

net. in this connection the friends OF
silver Will be GLAD TO know hat Carlsle
is u bj-metaliist, and has often stated his
advocacy Of free silver coinage. IN a
letter to a friend, dated Aug. 3, 1890, he
wrote:

The mail service Of Montana has been
failure to furnish q sufficient force OF
employees. The explanation of Civil
Service Commissioner Lyman that this
results from a lack of eligible applicants
does not remove the responsibility from
the government, when it is understood
that the men when appointed are not
half paid. Uncle Sam apparently does
not know that wages in Montana are
not proportional to the cost Of living
and that consequently few men are will
ing to handle his mails here for eastern
salaries.

Preferred the Old Gait.


1.-THE late Senator Plumb said Senator
r. i. Pettigrew, of South Dakota. to q re
porter of the New York Press, was one of
the strongest men in the senate. l knew
him intimately. II he had lived a few
years longer the whole country would have
been forced to recognize his mental caliber.
He had tho constitution of an OK. but he
burned the candle at both ends. l remem-
Der he told me one day that he had been
over to Philadelphia to consult an eminent
physician. The doctor warned me- said
Plumb, shat II l would give up smoking
and drinking. and take a long rest, l
might live twenty-five years, but l oould
not last q year if / continued my present
active life
"'Well, what are you going to do?' said /.
II shall 60 on as ! have been doing he
said. Life would not be worth the living
if l followed the DOCTORS orders!"
The late James Il. Osgood, the famous
publisher. was of like disposition. No man
was more popular. Few men had rarer
talents. He consulted a doctor one day
about his health. which was giving him I'M
easiness, although Mr.. Osgood was little
over 40. The doctor said, after asking a
few pointed questions: You must give up
big dinners, smoke not more than two
ciga, q q day, stop drinking any wine or
spirits and"
Mr.. OsRood interrupted him. "Of
course, doctor. everybody knows 1 would
get we'll if | did all that. What / came to
you for was to get fixed up so that l could
go right on eating, drinking and smoking
az l do now."
"Impossible," said the doctor, who was a
famous specialist. Mr.. OSRood was dead
within two years.

THE W EE.


1t is all very we'll for the Great Falls
hitch him to a pneumatic sulky n
start him at the post. This is an inner
tied privilege OF the dark horse and the
jockey, and there can be no objections
so long as the entry is made under good
democratic rules. The important ques-
ton is whether this is done in good
faith to the democracy of Montana,
whether the good of the party ia not
made a condition secondary to personal
ambitions, whether several mon are
risking the loss of a democratic senator
ship in their efforts to defeat the will OF
the party by forcing themselves too far.
The painfully weak opposition to dem
ocratic methods is unworthy OF u
Great Falls contemporary and is easily
disposed OF. 1t begins in this way:
If there were nothing to be considered
except the allegiance and esprit de corps of
the democratic membets of the legislature
this paper would be in favor OF an imme-
diate agreement on the caucus nomination
of Mr.. Clark for the United States senate.
What under the sun is left for demo
Gratis to consider except the election of
a democratic senator? How are they tc
agree on a choice except 10y the honored
democratic caucus, a method historic
since Jefferson and which obtains
among democrats in every part of the
land? What else do you want?
III l-- l.o, L11l tN;I1so,, A
Clark has beer named by a majority o!
votes and the one remaining duty is te
give him the solid democratic support.
The democratic legislators who refuse
to perform this duty are not acting fol
the party's interests. They know full
we'll that the control of the United
States senate is in the balance, that il
must swing according to the result in
Montana and yet in this critical mo-
ment they are weakening the party anc
encouraging the enemy by this danger
Gus delay.
This is is not democracy. 1t is no
justice. 1t is a deliberate attempt tc
sacrifice all that has been won, by rule
or ruin methods, and 1T must not pre-
vail.
The Tribune's attempt to explain it!
position is merely a poorly disguised
boomlet for the dark horse. 1t truth
fully says that certain populist supper
is needed for the election of a demo
cratic senator, but where does it get The
information that populists regard MIR
Clark as q p~lutocrat and are ir~reconcila
bly, opposed to him? Where does the
Tribune get that news? Nothing OF th>
sort has been heard in Helena where
most political new originates thes'
days.
There is furthermore one point for tn,
consideration of tho Tribune and it
dark horse.
To imperil party success by selfsl
ambition IS a mighty poor way of show
ing gratitude for party favors in The
past or of winning favors to come.

we can work.

gan considerable difficulty was net in Oh

cured now for the entire distance and no
further difficulty will be met with from this
source. The work of laying the rails would
have been begun at Harris Road to-day if
they had been shipped to FernandiDa, as |
ordered them, instead Of to South Bruins
wick. Two csrgoes are expected at Fernan-
dina every day now, and as soon as
they come work will be begun at Harris
Road, and also from South BrunswIc ok. AS
soon as this portion of the line near ~ayan-
nah is graded the work of laying rails will
also be commenced from this point. The
prospects are fair now for an earlier COM
pletion of the road than is required by the
contract. Things are moving nicely and
we have no reason whatever to complain. "

CAUGHT AFTER FOUR YEARS.

Detective WetherhOrn Overhauls a
Man Who Gave Worthless Check.
Four years ago a man named Atwood,
while visiting Savannah, gave worthless
check for sos to merchant in payment Of
certain articles. The matter was placed in
the hands of Detective Wetherhorn at the
time, but Atwood got aw sy and 70 trace of
him could be found. Yesterday. about
noon, Detective Wetherhorn, while walking
along Bull street, came face to face with
Atwood, who no doubt supposed his check
transaction had been entirely forgotten
and he could return without being mOlested.
The detectives trained eye, however, is
never forgetful, and Atwood was thor
oughly surprised man to be slapped on the
shoulder and greeted with, II want you;
have been looking for you for four
years, from Detective W etherhorn. Atwood
asked for an explanation. We have not
forgotten your little check, Mr. Atwood, "
said Detective Wetberhorn, al am an officer,
and you have either to settle with me or 90
to Jail" Seeing that be WIS in for it, At
wood handed over sos aud was allowed to
go. The merchant mad himself almost for
gotten the transaction, and to say that he
was an agreeably surprised man at getting
his money, after such long time, is putting
it mildly. Detective WetberhOrn received
liberal reward for mis- clever work.
