No Republican delegate to the county
convention should be influenced by
anything he has read in the Mud Gey-
ser. The editor is a notorious liar, and
so corrupt and dishonorable himself
that even decent Democrats are
ashamed to associate with him. The
aim of this BLACKBOARD is to create dis
sention among Republicans and il
possible secure the nomination Of a
| weak ticket.

The Helena Herald is clearly in the
right in its controversy and trouble
with its printers. The Herald makes
a fair and candid statement in relation
to it's position. Newspaper publishers
should be permitted to conduct their
own business, and if the proprietors Of
the Herald can do the work with the
aid of their sons, that is also their bust
ness. Unionism is all right if not car
ried to extremes. Bad judgment on
the part of a few often Injuries the
many.

clamation at the Republican state con-

sugar, coal and bsrbed wire and then
turned around and passed separate
bills putting those articles on the free

DOLLAR WHEAT.

Wheat came within 42 cents of being
81 bushel on the Chicago board of
trade yesterday, The millennium for
which the deluded Granger hoped and
prayed and voted - months ago is 80
cents further away than it was when
Benjamin Harrison stood at the helm.
There was an immense amount of rail
fence argument last year about the alti-
tude to be attained by wheat in case the
Democrats came into power. Ninety
cents was considered ruinously low
price for the commodity year ago.
The Western farmer, who cultivates
S0,000-acre wheat farms, was foremost
among those who voted for Grover. The
extent of his losses may be figured up
with ease, but words are inadequate to
express the amount of enlightenment
that has come to him with 80 cent
wheat.
Yet with wheat at this unprecedent-
edly low figure, that other concomitant
of Democracy, hunger, is still to the
'front.'

LINCOLN AND THE TARIFF.

Under the caption, cit has not hurt
him." The Boston Herald said this
morning, sit was unkind to call atten-
ton to President Lincoln's early belief
in high protective tariff and internal
improvement" The Herald's opinions
on any matter touching upon the tariff
in any way are not worth considering. Its
policy is SO utterly un-American that it
can not correctly estimate any legisla-
ton or any man if the legislation or the
man is not in accord with its own views.
The Herald is the paper that referred
to the Stars and Stripes as a mere com
bination of colored bunting not worth
enthusing over, and possessing no
value. Hence its resent estimate
of Lincoln is hardly worth second
thought because the people know
that whatever is patriotic, whatever is
American, whatever is in the interests
of the American people will be opposed
by the Herald, speered at and
jeered at by its free trade writers and
theorists. Its principles, or its lack Of
principles. are a disgrace to it and TO
American journalism. But Lincoln and
his views need no defender. They will
live centuries after the free trade Brit
-ish Boston Herald has been buried in
the oblivion of forgotten past.

PROGRESS IN BRAZIL.

There has been bloodshed at Rio
Janeiro at last.
1t cannot be said that the world has
been hoping for this contingency, but
it has awaited it with more
or less interest and no little
amount of scepticism. Repeated re-
ports of attacks with no fatalities ap-
pended have led the public to imagine
that the Rio insurrection was but
a farce at the best. The latest dis
patches that from 75 to 100 soldiers
were injured in an insurgent attack
upon Armacao will have tendency TO
dignity the revolution in the eyes of the
world, although it cannot be said that
anything very serious has yet happened.
The hope recently expressed of set
tlement and peaceful election by March
1, seems to have been ill-timed. Mar
tial government evidently suits the
Brazlians better than the gentler
regime of peace and they are very likely
to get what they want.

This company which for years has
disgraced the United States, has been
driven to seek refuge in a semi.civil-
lied land by adverse public sentiment
and yet it has been been able by quibbling
technicalities to practically defy the
United States postal laws. This last
blow Of the Government is staggerer,
and if properly followed up ought to
give it its death blow.

Closing Session Of the Grand Lodg
Late Yesterday Afternoon.

Closing Session Of the Grand Lodge
Late Yesterday Afternoon.
There was . much larger attendance at
the meeting Of the Grand LodgeK X. of p.
yesterday afternoon than there was in the
morning, and every moment OF the time
was occupied in disposing Of the many
resolutions that were offered. Among the
more important items OF business was the
action taken in regard to the proposed
election of the grand inner and outer
guards. After considerable debate the
subject was laid over until the the meet
ing of the Grand Lodge in 1895; the per
capita tax will be so cents as heretofore;
there will be no telephone in the Office Of
the grand keeper Of records and seal,
but William A. Wilson who was elected to
that position for the thirteenth time
was voted an increase of 500
salary; 200 copies of the proceedings
of the meeting were ordered printed and
distributed. The question of districts did
not occupy much time and it was decided
that the system should be given one more
years trial.
A vote OF thanks WAS extended to the
retiring grand chancellor, the committee
on hall and dinner, and 1t was voted that
a committee similar to the two latter be
appointed to make arrangements for the
next meeting.
Past Supreme Representative James X.
Brayton in an eloquent speech referred to
a certain few OF the members of the or
der in the West who threatened serious
things il their wishes were not acceded
to and by vote of the Grand Lodge it was
decided to instruct the representatives to
the Supreme Lodge TO inform that august
body that "Little Rhody'' disapproved
OF the action, and was, as it always was,
loyal to the Supreme Lodge.
Officers Installed.
The newly elected officers were installed
by Supreme Representative Charles A.
Lee, assisted by Past Supreme Representa-
tive James r. Brayton as supreme prelate
and Supreme Representative Frank w.
Taylor as supreme master-at- arms. Just
before the session closed the
secret work of the order was exempiified
in a very careful manner by Supreme
Representative Lee. The session on sthe
whole was an extremely pleasant one, and
the officers chosen, from the grand chan
cellor to the outer guard, will compare
favorably with any grand board of the
past.
Grand Chancellor Scott will make his
announcement OF deputies and the various
committees within ten days.
Tomorrow Supreme Representative
Charles A. Lee, Grand Chancellor Scott
and Past Grand Chancellor Gales will be
the guests of the grand lodge Of Maine
