"Them Was His Sentiments. I"

Very many of the early settlers Of Mon
taua were natives Of Missouri, Kentucky
Arkansas and the border states of the war
They came BY the Missouri river to For
Benton or BY coach from Omaha and fol
many years were in the majority at cleo
tons, when they held the fag Of Demo
cracy to the masthead.
The result of this immigration was .
strong sentiment for the confederscy II
the early days, and in 1878, when Genera
Phil Sheridan and staff n.ade an ofiicia
visit to the northwestern posts, the sent
iment had not disappeared. Helena
Mont, was just emerging from the gart
of a mining camp, but few saterprisiaa
citizens with ex.Govefnor Hauser It the
head determined to give fitting reception
to the visitors. A delegation met Sheri.
dan and his party in stagecoach several
miles from the town and escorted them
to the leading hotel. On the following
afternoon a banquet was given in the First
National bank, located then insthez pres.
emit gambling district.
Tho menu conslstad mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town Was remote from civil
ization. There was, bowever, plenty Of
champagne, since that wine is usually
found in mining camps even when moth
ing in the way Of food Il left but -four.
The gathering ives very democratic.
Everybody in town was invited to see
"Little Phil" though there was much
grumbling among the unreconstructed
ConfedeFates over the display made for .
Union general. There were lawyers and
mining camp politicians mingled with
gamblers, miners and ex-road agents,
many Of whom wore six shooters at their
belts. Among them was one old time
Confederate soldier, who had turned his
talents from the chivalry of war to deal.
ing spank" He was restless and uncom-
Portable during the feast. and when the
toasts began this restlessness increased.
His face darkened and his eyes famed
with anger as various toasts were given to
the United States, the president of the
United States and the army Of the United
States.
Finally he could stand it no longer.
He arose with . winegiass in one hand
and six shooter in the other, and in a
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
Here's to all mankind, 20 that moi
id fool will be overlooked"
With that he dashed his wineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter into
the ceiling so that the room was filled
with smoke. The guests reached for their
revolvers, but the gambler, with look of
contempt, returned his "gun" to his pock-
ct and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward said that
it was one of the most dramatic and sug
gestive scenes in all his experience.-New

 The announcement that the deaconessfs of the Methodist Church can "friz" their hair is, of course, straw that shows which way the wind Is blowing, but there may be, after all, 8 question iu soms minds about which way the wind is blowing. For instance, some might be mean and ig norant enough to think that the Methodist Church had come to the conclusion that It's deaconesses are likely to be such homely women that unless their hair is ''frizzsd" | they will repsl people whom the Church wants to reach through its desconesses. We look upon this notion ss both slander- ous and scandalous. There will be no lack of pretty Methodists among the desoonesses, | and there will be none who will be so homely that she can't do any good unless | her hair is "frizzed" Those who pick out the desconesses will look out for that, and there will be none as "homely as sin"
 The straw is pointing in another direc- ton. The truth is that the deaconnesses of the Methodist church are to bs allowed to "friz" their hair because the bosses of the Church have lost much of the severity which used to be in their discipline. They are infected with the spirit of tho age, which Is not satisfied with the beauty of holiness. It Is not even satisfisd with the beauty of desconnesses unadorned. It de- mands that they shall have becoming rig and that they shall bs frizzed ss to their hair. The great Methodist Church, which was once very much opposed to the vanity and frivollty of life, has changed. It does not now fire people out of it for respectable dancing. It does not openly and un compromisingly frown upon progres sive euchre. It does not say 6 word about the dress of women but rather takes pride In the fac that 1t has become so rich and fsshionsbl that It's women can and do dress as we'll a the women of any other sect. And in man! other ways 1t has departed from its earl. simplicity and severity. Its decision tha its dsaconesses can "fris" their hair Is In deed straw that shows which way tn, wind is blowing. Nothing Is said abou the use of powder and paint by the deacon cases. There ought to be a ruling concern ing those bsautifying articles. If tn Methodist Church has set out to gill
 the beauty of holiness 1t shonb go the whole figure. -Hsir-frizzing wi
 not add to the charms of a deaconess al that can be added. Perhaps the bette , way would be for the Methodist bosses t
 give the deaconssses full freedom to
 themselves up according to their own nt , tions. This would make the deaconesss
 feel easy in their minds, and we suppos

SENATOR PLATrON FRRE woo

An Extract From an Impressive
 Speech.
 Following Is part of what Senator Plstt had to gay about free wool the other day:
 have had myseif something to do In my early dave with raising sheep. I know how much labor Is expended in that industry. I have dug them cut of the snow In winter, ss the Senator from Ohio Mr. ShsrmsDl suggests has to be done; have washed and sheared them In the summer; I have looked after them the year round; and know it Is labor which produces tbe wool which Is sent to the manufacturer, just ss much as 1t is labor which produces the oio.h which goes to the manufacturer of ready made clothing. No raw material question enters la here. It is a purely simple malicious desire on the part of the tariff rsformsr to strike down the whole tariff system through this most important industry.
 But, MT. President, nobody is going to be benefited by 1t. alluded to the fact that believed any man who buys sn or dinsry suit of clothing in this country would be willing to contribute the half dollar, which 1t Is supposed he may possi- bly gain, to the protectian of the indus try In this country. know he would d.

SENATOR PLATr.

We know thst it Is usual to wait until a man is dead before giving him the credit due him for his work and his achieve acknowledgement of his merits while he Is alive will make him feel good and some- what detrsct from the contentment and the importance of the one who makes the acknowledgement. But we feel moved to break the rule and to declare our hearty admiration of the work done by Senator Platt during the tariff debate which has been going on in the Millionaire club, the Sugar House, or whatever they now call what was once known as the United States Senate. Never before has Senator Platt go revealed his strength of mind, his capacity for labor, his equipment for de- bate, his sound moral basis, his warm heart, his true regard for the common people, and his lofty patriotism. Day after day he has uttered most pertin- ent and incisive speech and day after day he has shown forth comprehensive and we'll arranged knowledge. Sound judgment, common sense, ready wit, pat and luminous illus trations have sbounded in his speeches and made them wiss, interesting and forcible. He has pleaded for the people, not ss an aristocrat or a demagogue, but as one of them. He has especially pleaded for the people of New England, and in doing 1t he has shown much of the sturdy, strongly moral, deeply thoughtful, shrewd and humorous qualities that mark the New England character. He has fought folly. fraud and Corruption as pertinsciously as the New England farmer fights the foes of his felde. He has been at it early and late. It is never too hot In the Senate chamber for him to make 1t hot for those whom he believes to be hostile to the real interests of the country. He is never too tired to do or say what he thinks needs to be done or said against tue foollshness and the wrong that eeem to be SO popular in the Senate. He appears to be always ready, and ready with the right word too.
 In our opinion no man in the Senate has done so much work during this debate or done it 80 well as Senator Platt. He has performed an amazing feat of intellec! and of industry, based on foundation of true morality, honest love of and belief in the people, and exalted patriotism. He is an honor to the State of Connecticut, and to the United States of America.

tne world. Perhaps when that state ment Is applied to the individual it will no. pc admitted. A man may think 1t is to nis interest to buy where he can buy chespeef, but let me remind him that be can buy cheapest when there Is widely ex- tended bankruptcy. There Is no place where 6 man can buy so cheaply as st a bankrupt sale; and we can have no goods 90 cheap as under 6 condition of universal or widely extended bankruptcy.
 Does the man who gets his cloth or clothing 6 little cheaper because some body has failed, suppose he gains any advantsgei If this free-trsde wolf gets into our fold and the wool industry is stricken down, and the wool msnufactur- ing industry is stricken down, and the man who, perchsnce, is fortunate enough to find something to do in some other oo- cnpation of life should get his suit of clothing fifty cents cheaper, does he think he would be any better of for itl
 Mir President, there are some things which may be altogether too cheap in the world, and that suit of clothes which Is 90 cheap that the American farmer cannot raise the wool and the American workman cannot produce the cloth under conditions which will enable them to occu- py the grade In society and the station in life which the American wool grower and the American workman is entitled to occu- py, Is far too chrap for ths indIvsdasl ss we'll ss for the nation.
 Perhaps, before leaving the subiect. I ought to say a word more as to whether we gre going to get wool or woolen cloth ing any cheaper after this destructive policy shall have been put into operation.
 The senator from Texas Ar. Millsl would have the wool grower believe that the time will come when he can get more for his wool under free trade than now. WhyE Bscsuss he has the sdvantsgs, psrhsps, in Texas of raising the sheep and produ- cling the wool, and when the industry has been destroyed everywhere else in the country, and the sheep which prod uced the wool have been slaughtered, then there will demand spring up which will enable the Texas shesp grower to get a higher price for his wool.
 Is that au argument to be addressed to the American senstei Undoubtedly the far of effect of the removal of the duty on wool may be 10 increase the price of wool from Its present low free-trEde price; but there will be few shsep upon which to pro- duee it In this country when that time comes, and it would take 6 long time for the industry to grow up again under ihe fear that, in some way or other, by fslse pretsnces, tue democratic party may again ge. into power and strike down the duty on wool.
