HELENA, Mon. May 2.-The Mon

q writ Of mandamus ordering the
Great Northern to operate its line Of
railroad in this state as it had been, &C
customed to prior to the strike Of all its

ceeding was equivalent to asking the
court to inquire and determine what
would be reasonable scale of wages for.
the men required to operate the road
and then ascertain whether the requis-
ite number of men could be employed
at the wages demanded. The court said
it was not certain it had jurisdiction for
the arbitrament of these questions and
power to enforce its decision should it,
decide them. Furthermore, the court
is not sure that it has jurisdiction to is.

Rules to BE Observed When Out in Society.
Manner is q little hard to define. It
h something to be felt the expression
of q persons life and thought. One
girl has q bright and vivacious manner,
and another is calm and dignified. One
reminds you of the stars, another of
fireworks. Grandmamma's manner is
gentle and tranquil, Cousin Rob's is i'm
pulsive and hurried; little Miss Finch
has a manner both fussy and idgety
and Laura Belle has the manner of a
queen. The rude and brusque young
person makes her companions uncom-
Portable. The weIl.bred person makes
those about her happy. No well-bred
person has bad manners, though such a
person may have q shy or awkward or
reserved manner The latter may be
ones misfortune, the former Is ones
fault. ! am glad that the girls are re-
turning to the beautiful courtesy of
bending the knee and the body as well
as the head; 1t is q much prettier and
more graceful reverence than q mere
bow. Nothing about ANN in young
girl is SO bewitching as Difference, the
paying attention to older people, and
showing kindness to younger ones, and
setting everybody at ease
II you are In doubt how TO behave
on any occasion, look at the people
about you, and see what most of them
do The majority are generally right.
There are one or two rules always to
be observed. You speak to your
hostess when you go to u reception or
a party, and you wish her goodnight
when You leave. At the table you
wait until the lady Of the house is
seated before you seat yourself. You
thank everyone who does you a serv-
ice. You are careful not to interrupt
conversation; you do not set older peo-'
pie right, v II you know that they
are mistaken; you do not try to get
the best place yourself, you endeavor
to give that to your friend. In the
street you do not attract observation
by loud talking or laughter. If you
are in a public conveyance, Us q car or
u ferry-bOat, for instance, you yield
your seat to the elderly lady or the old
gentleman, or the tired mother with a
child in her arms.-Harper's Young

A Card From Mr.. Wilson.

To the Editor of the Intelligencer,
In earlier times it was the habit of a
certain petty chief in Scotland to send
q herald to the top of the castle alter
dinner, who blew a trumpet to attract
attention and then proclaimed in a
loud voice, "The mighty chief of the
clan So-and-So has dined; the kings of
the several countries of the earth may
now dine"
In all due humility l think it unfair
that the INTKLLIGENCER be held to have
committed q wrong in interviewing me,
it not having been forewarned. Here
after let it have due notice. Let a
herald mount upon the battlements
opposite Dutch Row and blow his
trumpet and proclaim: "Ths Mighty
Moulder of Public Opinion, Powerful
Pencil Pusher and Psstoffice POtentate
will now hear petitions and Issue per-
mits to the editors IN the various parts
of Missouri to interview such persons
IS He may see fit."
One Of the best known phenomena in
the life of language is that words
gradually chance their meaning as, for
instance, the word "'let" which once
meant to hinder and now means the
opposite. There seems to be IN ap-
preaching confusion as to whether the
word "'demOcrst" designates n whose
financial beliefs are those of Andrew
Jackson or the opposite.
Would it not be well for the person
who assails the INTELLIGKNCER ovei
the signature "Democrat' for publish.
ing an interview with me, to sign his
name to his newspaper articles a I dc
to miner Every n could then set
whether he is one of these or one OF
those" and what he considers the
principles that make the one holding
them = democrat.

been IS delightful as provincial life

finish, and there was the beauty Of the
American women, which led to certain
international marriages, but there was
the eternal m~onotony Of q new and
smail society. Outside Of this tempo
rary capital, in the woods where the
people were beginning to build an en-

the new experiment, Civilization
had pitohed it's tent there, but
while the future glowed with hope
for the country and for humanity,
the present wal crude and uucom-
Portable. The few Europeans who
saw the hopefulness of the experiment
were men Of broad and philosophic
minds. Most of those who came hither
OF business Or for pleasure complained
only Of the barbarism of the back
woods. The Representatives Of foreign
countries who were forced to dwell at
the seat of government found Life al
most p~pbearable. 1t was Of Turreau,

THE

The presidents message, which is
given in full or the first page of this
paper, has been the leading subject of
comment in political circles this week.
The message is not characteristic OF
Mr.. Cleveland, yet, withal, it is an
able state paper. 1t is much longer
than he usually makes his state papers,
but 1t is worthy Of the closest perussl
and most profound thought.
The message IS largely made up Of
the reports of the cabinet officers and
comment upon these reports.
The emily two features, however,
that will attract general attention are
his recommendations concerning tariff
and finance.
On the tariff question he holds to the
convictions still that made him pres
ident. He wants free raw materials,
and gives the sugar trust a hard lick.
Upon this issue his message will be
generally Endorsed.
Upon the question of the nations
finances he is far from clear. He is in
favor of the Baltimore bankers scheme,
but his constituents are much disap-
pointed that he did not give clearer
and more concise reasons for favoring
this system. No one expected Mr..
Cleveland to recognize silver coinage,
IS his whole public career has been
one of animosity to or disbelief in the
white metal. /.
The message is not what was ex-
pscted. The people had looked for
him to give more clearly his financial
views, when in fact his discussion OF
finance is very short.
He refers to the bond issue and
recsmmends that congress give the
treasurer more authority along this
line. This will not be favorably
received, though Mr.. Cleveland says
be will go TO the utmost limit of pres
ent authority to maintain what he
believes to be the credit of the country.
The message IL an honest one. II
reads like the voice Of an honest man,
and taken ~ . whole it will rank with
the majority Of great national docu-
msnts that have been sent to congress.
Cleveland has written ADLER messages.
Some Of his predecessors have written
poorer ones. ,'a ',.'' 80
Though We differ from it in some
points, We accept it ~ the honest con-
victsons Of . great and IN honest man.

tude force US to comment upon this
issue of the INrELLIaENcER. The
course of this paper under its present
management has not been egotisticsl.
For those who have differed from Us
We have maintained the greatest re-
spsct. To those who have looked at
the issues as We have, has not been del
sgated the privilege of editing the
paper.
Our business for last month more
than doubled that of the same period
of last year. For this remarkable i'm
provement the INTELLIaENCER IL egotis-
tical enough to assign its own reason
First-Our policies have been posi-.
tive. We have had no convictions to
exchange for public favor.
Second-This paper has not entered
local political q~uarreIs, save to defend
some ones character.
Third-This is q county paper, and
recognizes no sections. 1t has been
confident of the fact that there was
room in Lafayette county for more than
one enterprising town.
FOurth-Its columns have not been
filed with scandal nor gossip.
Fifth-It has printed in q readable
shape all Of the news, and has not bee.
filed with .'soft soap" compliments
which some newspaper men use As q
bait TO catch business.
Sixth-The INTELLIaKNCER has been
faithful to Lsxingtsn and Lafayette
county, and has been generous in I'd.
vooating what it deemed to be the
good Of both.
Ssventh-Our business department

rights and rates have been granted to
all. 80 o~.'-, n.a

us, and have been generous in good
