The caucus is a time-honored institu-
ton and was intended to secure that
which has been fairly won. 1t should
prevail in Montana, q state where polit-
ical thieves are ever active and have
pursued their disgraceful business with
more or less success. The democratic
control Of the next United States sem
ate depends upon the united action of
Montana democracy. A failure because
Of personal differences would deservedly
bring shame and disgrace.

THE WEATHER.
LIKE DEMOCRATS.

All the democratic members Of the
legislative assembly who attended
Thursday nights caucus met their party
obligations like men and democrats
yesterday by voting for Hon. w. A.
Clark, the caucus nominee for United
States senator, on joint ballot. The
voice OF the party had spoken through
the party caucus, the only medium
through which it could have utterance,
and they obeyed it's commands. We
regret to say that a small handful OF
members set themselves apart from
their party and refused to acknowledge
tho binding force OF caucus action. We
cannot yet believe that these members
intend to continue a course at variance
with all party usage, especially at a time
when the fate OF the party is trembling
in the balance and the interests OF
democracy are at stake. In such an
emergency men are nothing-party
principles are everything. No matter
what personal preferences have been or
may be. no matter what lurking ambi-
tions may dictate-and we are aware
how strong these hidden forces are
every democrat in the legislative as
sembly should put these things behind
him and do the duty his party demands
Of him. Vote for majority rule, vote for
your caucus nominee, vote for dem
oorscy. Settle it to-day!

work whenever he pleases, and to per-
suade others to join him providing he
uses no illegal or compulsory means,
and the came privilege 10 extended TO
the manufactures. This is the law Of
personal liberty, an inheritence to every
man.
IL it, therefore, within the province Of
the state to tell the manufactures that
he must keep his works running and
pay his employees u certain scale OF
wages, or to tell the employee that he
must accept another scale? Arbitration
is a natural and easy method Of settling
difficulties providing the capitalist and
laborer are willing to abide by the de-
oision, but to force them to that .
ure would seemingly be Interference
with the highest principles Of justice.
Suppose that it was done and the labor
unions OF capitalists refused to abide by
the decisions? The results would be
far more serious than those OF
strikes and lock-outs which are not and
should net be prevented by law. 1t
would mean anarchy in it's worst form,
for the struggle to u control of the
board under state appointment would
add another and a far more serious ele-
ment 70 a controversy existing since
earliest history.
The only way to reach the desired re-
suit is for the appointment Of a board
with power to arbitrate only when the
capitalist and the laborer mutually agree
to accept the results; to compel them
to this agreement would only open the
way to situations far more serious than
any we have thus far seen.

HENRY CABOT LODGE is a vast i'm
provement on Dawes, for he will bring
brains, energy and youth in the United

prejudice against him after the Novem-
Der election, but he is a bright young
fellow and his views on that subject
we're materially changed by the result.

The three democrats in the Kansas
legislature evidently know their impor-
lance, for they are switching from re-

keeps all guessing. The Kansas dem
ocracy has never made a very satisfac-

can do much to redeem the past by pre-
venting the election of a republican

The following excerpt is from Brad
streets, and is not conclusive evidence
of Democratic economy: according
to the official statement recently COM
pleted by the clerks to the committees
on appropriations of the senate and
house, the total appropriations made
during the session, including the per-
manen. appropriations for interest
sinking fund, etc., amounted to S5l9,-
504, 359, which is an increase of nearly
$12,000,000 as compared with the
appropriations for the preceding ses-
sion. By the legislation of the ses-
sion there were created 999 specified
new offices, including 750 additional
apprentices for the navy, at an annual
cost of $3S3,0l0; lS6 specified offices
were abolished or omitted from the
appropriations, at an annual cost of
$214,889, and new Offices or employ
ments not specific as to numbers or
rates of compensation, and principally
in the postal service throughout the
were authorized, at an annual
of $SS9,012, while the
annual reduction made on this account
to $23,900."

R1vaIIed The Render Gang.

NoRTHFIELD, Mlnn., May 17-A skel..
eton was uneartbed recently while ex-
cavating for new opera house at Fari-
bault and investigation has brought to
light seven more. The first found was
three feet under ground. At the side lay
butcher knife. On the skull under the
right ear was break, denoting the blow
OF hammer. It is known that on the
spot from 1859 to 1857 an Inn was kept
by Jacob Crows. In 1857 two girls came
to this inn. One of these girls was On
her way East and had $140e with her.
Her name was Vira Law Ion. On June
10, 1857. the Crows inn was. suddenly
deserted. In a room in the rear of the
house a curtain was found hung as o
partition, close to which stood q big
table. at the left of the table was trap
door, under which was cellar 10 feet
deep by only square. 1t is supposed
that those who had money were placed
over this trap door, which hung on
pivot. Twenty persons are known to
have disappeared near here and it is
believed that they met their fate in the
inn.

1t may be true, as the Statesman

yet, if the suit instituted for perma-

result in efectually bringing to Salem
every "public institution" in the state.
In other words, the state taxes paid

of one city. The language of the con-

Has Willard Resigneaf

NEW YORK, May 1S-The board OF
directors of the Northern Pacific railroad
met today. Previous to the session
Henry Willard, chairman of the execu-
tive board, authorized the publication OF
the statement that his retirement
from the chalrmanship, as we'll as from
the membership In the board, had al
ready been sent in. L. Is understood by
Wizards friends that he will, under NO
circumstances, accept a reelection at
the annual meeting of the stockholders
of the North American Company, but
would continue largely interested as a
stockholder, and had declared he would
obtain for it, if desired, such financial aid
as 1t requires. 1t was thought at today,s
meeting that Willard would take decisive
steps In the matter and retire from the
board. This step, Wizards personal
friends said this morning, would not be
taken by him unless be changed bis mind,
and that he would in all probability re-
main in Office until his term expired.
The matter of Wizards resignation
from the directory was promptly disposed
OF by Willard in person. He said: II
wish 1t distinctly understood that 1 hav
not resigned from the directory, and do
not propose to until it suits my conven-
ience. Neither was my resignation con.
sidered at the meeting, and it will not be
considered today. No action has ever
been taken on my letter of March l."
The Northern Pacific directors ad
lourDed until 2 P. M. 1t is stated that
Henry Wizards resignation was consld-
cred at this mornings session.

Delegate Rawlins of Utah has

Delegate Rawlins of Utah has ten
dered his resignation to the governor
Of the territory because President
Cleveland would not follow his ide as
regarding the civil service appoint
ments. This is the Conkling and Me-
too. Platt methods of procedure under
Garfield re-enacted, and will accom-
plish about as much good. We have
never been the least Democratic, ac-
cording to the Jeffersonian idee, still
we can but admire the pluck of the
chief executive in ''running the busi-
ness" to suit himself. Mr.. Cleveland
has been twice elevated to the presi-
dency by the American people, and
therefore cannot expect any more fa-
vors from his fellow citizens. He is,
therefore, independent of the influence
which usually controls officials who
work for future benefits from the peo-
pie, and undoubtedly realizes the fact
that he is president of the United
States. If our laws were so amended
that one term would be all that any
official could fill, there would be more
fairness IN their actions and less sub
servience to the behests of selfish an d
scheming politicians.
