Our esteemed contemporary, the st
Paul Pioneer Press, says Of a distin'
guished citizen OF Montana: "Mr. DAILY
is quiet, reserved, and at the big races
conducts himself in much the same
manner as Mr.. Richard Croker Of Tam
many fame"
We beg TO assure our esteemed con-
temporary that the parallel does not
end there. II is not flattery to Mr..
DAILY TO say that he is bigger man than
Mr.. Croker. True, Mr.. DAILY does not
control so many votes as Mr.. Croker,
but he controls large percentage oi
the people OF a sovereign state under
more difficulties than the dictator Of the
Metropolis. Montana is not state in
which the people are SO tractable and
docile under bose rule as those OF New
York Our people are more independent
and free thinking. Yet it is fact that
Mr. Daly, year after year, dictates to Q
larger percentage Of people IN this state
than does Mr.. Croker in New York. Mr.
Croker has no influence outside OF New
York city. Not even the smallest rura
newspaper dares TO sell out TO him. The
politicians in the country districts who
follow in his train could be numbered
on the fingers OF the two hands. Ii
Montana at least one-hali, perhaps 1
small majority, Of the newspapers, are
retained in Mr.. Days interest and tn,
politicians who yield to bis blandish
ments are almost ns numerous as those
who maintain their independence.
Montana, to be sure, has only 100000
inhabitants and New York has ovel
100000. II Mr.. Croker absolute
ruled New York he would be a 5igge
man than Mr.. DAILY, but MIR. Croke
does not control his entire state, unt
Mr. DAILY comes mighty near doing i
here.
II Mr. Croker should p .empt to NOV
the capital OF the stl.o from Alban,
und put it in TammGny Hall he woul
DO undertaking a job equal to that q
Mr.. DAILY in placing the capital Of Mon
tana on the grounds OF The Anacond
Copper company and boarding the mem
bers Of the Legislature and the stat
officers at his hotel. Mr.. Croker lack
the nerve. dash aud audsolty Of Nj
DAILY lie would never dare TO strik
for the capital OF the state as Mr.. Dal
has done, and II the Anaconda ma
gets away with his undertaking he vii
be a bigger man than his New Yor
prototype.

There 10 much truth in this state
ment. But the ministers aro not ex-
smpt from worldly oonditiona entirely,
aud must stand or fall by their own OF
forts. There is pretty accurate meas
urement for intellectual work, the re-
wards for superior quality are certain,
and merit is accorded prompt recogni-
tion. TolSo it hore in Helena, for in
stance. This is a most promising field
for pulpit talent. We already have
some u il OF high order, Lat o first

iitorium aud he viii have crowded

earnest and thoughtful to say aud who
eau say it we'll and iorcibly can COM
mand the same hearing that any
thoughtful man in any other walk in
lie receives. 1t is true that a majority
OF our churches arc not yet strong and
cannot afford to pay large salaries, but n
young man OF eArnestness, fcrce and de-
termination who comes to one OF them
at a salary of $1,000 or $1,000 or $1,000
can command double that figure in a
year or two, in good times, from an ap-
prsclative aud growing audience. There
is no better field in the country to-day
than tho northwest for young preachers
OF the right sort, We do not bar the
law or medicine in making this state
ment. Pulpit talent is in demand and
will command almost immediate recog-
milton.

SPEAKING Of populism in Minnesota
the Minneapolis Journal says that while
the candidate Of that pnrty for governor
is a reputable man "the people in ths
money cehters do not know him from
any other populist; they would simply
know that populism is on top in Min
nesota and net accordingly. We have
had hard times enough without making
them any worse, but one very important
reason why they have not been worse is
that thus far Minnesota has escaped
the blight Of populism and the financial
centers OF the country have had conf
dence in her people"
Here ia a great deal Of truth in q nut
she'll 10 is an undeuiable tnct that
populism has acted like pestilence in
every state in which that party has
achieved supremacy. Kansas, Colorado
aud Oregon are states from which cap
ital is withheld and which immigration
Rvoids. A populist victory in Montana
ihs year would be calamity tba
would set US back for years. Demo.
Gratis who favor an alliance with tha
party Tor the sake Of eectiug a few mer
for Office, here or there, arc advocating
policy which will work infinite dam
nge to our future. The populist party
is tho purity Of hard timos and confusion
and public disorder. Lot us have &c

We do not discover in our republican
contemporaries any enthusiasm over the
fact that wool Is advancing in price a
cent or two per week. A Boston firm
reports a sale OF Montana wool at fifteen
cents, and here in Montana thousands
Of pounds have been bought at fourteen
cents. This is rough on the theorists
who we're going to have wool decline in
price, but il is very pleasant for WOOL
