Richard =. Bland.

There is no man in the west who has
the interest of himself and this section
at heart who will not learn with regret
of the defeat Of Richard p. Bland OF
Missouri for congress. He has served the
people of the Eighth district of Missouri
in congress for twenty-five years with
signal ability and fidelity, and has done
more than that, for, as the undauntej
champion of silver, he has espoused the
cause of the masses throughout the
land. That such a man should be re.
tired from active service at a time when
his experience, honesty and unques-
toned ability are 80 much needed seems
like d satire on popular government.
His defeat is a national loss and a dis
grace. His constituents must have be-
come crazed with the foolish ideas that
swept over the country, and defying
judgment demanded a change. The
residents of the Eighth district Of Mis-
souri, have made a change, but it is a
change that will be worse for them and
their fellow-citizens throughout the
land,

A MOTTO FOR 1896.

If you listen nowadays you can hear
republicans say that the democratic
party is dead. Some populists make the
same remark. No n who talks after
this fashion really thinks after the man
ner of his prophecy. Republicans in
deed seem to forget that not so very long
ago they were crawling out from under
a landslide of like dimensions. The st.
Louis Republic says upon the subject
the morning of the seventh: ELECTIONS
in the off year always bring trouble to
the party which won in the presidential
year. Internal discords over the distri-
button of offices have not time to heal.
Dissatisfaction always reigns in that Sec
ton of opinion which has not learned
better than to expect miracles of pros
perity from the operations of govern
ment. This is an OFT year when such
consequences are extended and %intehsi-
fed. 1t would not have proved a low
cred democratic vitality if the losses had
oOoh "uSh EiootOi' ShEdiuSL 6uCu Ouu5
in the temporary conditions the resist
ance made to the onslaught of protec-
ton, p%aternalism and pelf is ample proof
of the marvellous vigor of that party
which has guarded the traditions of free
dom for a century through victory and
defeat.
"The lesson is that democrats must
unite, subordinate minor differences, re-,
press individual jealousies, agree upon a
policy and stand a compact and organ
lied force against the enemies of free in
stitutions. Democracy is strong enough
at any time to assert VIGOROUSLY its in
herited right to control the government
it founded. Yesterday it was at its
lowest ebb. 1t cannot again be as near
to weakness and exhaustion, Yet it lost
nothing that it cannot easily regain and
that it will not regain with it's revived
powers in 1896. So much is retained,
such an impressive demonstration Of in
destruciible strength has been made,
that the future is more our own than it
was in 1892. For 1896 we must under.
stand that New York will settle its own
quarrels and wash it's own linen. IL is
the west that naturally belongs to us
and that we must have. The motto for
the mex great campaign is: A western
man or oust."

York know it. Republican rule in that
state is but a history Of fraud and cor
ruption OF the most infamous and dar-
ing character, yet the exposure of a band
of bribers on the New York city police
force, that could have been remedied by
a reorganization of the force, created
such an excitement ard indignation that
a victim was made OF the democratic
nominee for governor. Before the next
election the excitement will have spent
its force and New York will be where
she belongs in the democratic column.

T. N CHINA.

The Latter Wants Uncle Sam to Help
Advices from Washington are to the
effect hat the United States government
has, at the request of China, been invited
to cooperate with the European powers
in terminating the war in the far east
There is no doubt that the moral effect
Of the attitude assumed by our govern.
ment would have much weight with
Japan, and would aid materially in
bringing hostilities to a close, but is il
any of our business. The administration
has heretofore announced a policy OF
non-interference, and it is not apparent
that any exigency has arisen that would
call for a change. 1t is true that China
is getting the worst Of the conflict and
that it is to the interest of the great
powers to put a stop to the fighting but
that in no way concerns this country.
Japan has won the right to dictate terms
to its adversary, and China acknowledges
this by asking for foreign aid to accom-
plish a settlement. This is certainly
unfair to tho victor. 1t is entitled to the
fruits Of its victory, whatever they may
be. If in this settlement Japan demands
concessions regarding Corean territory,
or the absorption of the Kingdom, under
conditions that will be to the manifest
disadvantages of Europe, which is not
probable, then will be the time for in
reference, and not till then. While this
request comes from China there is nc
doubt that it is dictated by England and
has been fastened by the death of the
p~eace-loving czar. Russian interests are
with Japan, those of England with
China. The German emperor is writing
war songs, talking battle, and making
overtures to France. All the powers
are armed and ready for battle, though
each breads the impending conflict. A
continuance of the war between China
and Japan is a continued menace to gen.
eral peace, and naturally England sdoing
all in its power to bring peace about anc
at the same time get the best of the bar
gain. 1t is a European question entirely
and if the government of the United
States gets roped into it it will be or the
broad principle that wal is a calamity
that should be averted, and the chances
are that it will be used to pull someone's
chestnuts out of the fire. Japan has
demonstrated that it is able to take carr
of itself so far as China is concerned, but
it will be Of course impossible for it t.
stand up against the whole world. Il
will be a wrong il it is compelled to de-
so, and especially wrong if the influence
of the United States government il
thrown, with that of the European gov
ernments, against it. The courage an(
the success Of Japan deserve a bette
fate.

The Butte Inter Mountain Of Friday
says regarding the vote in Butte: "The
Butte Doodle clubs voted for Helena
because they were paid money to do it.
Anaconda could have had their support
by paying for it and won the capital.
The moral victory is Anaconda's. The
practical victory is Helena's. The only
winners are the d~espicable wretches
who sold their votes. The only losers
are the people of Butte"

The defeat of Senator Hin in New
York cannot be called a democratic de-
feat. Recent developments made a pop
ular uprising against Tammany Hall
necessary, and many democrats we're in
it, and did as much with their voice and
work and votes to defeat it as did the
republicans. The cry was anything to
beat Tammany, and it was beaten. After
all it was only a change Of bosses. Boss

ON THE MOVE A

Great improvements in Great Falls and
Cascade County Assured.
Eastern readers of Montana newspa
pers cannot complain because the journ-
ais Of this new state have devoted too
much space during the last few weeks
to projects for material development.
Praise has been given to location. Crit
cism and d%enunciation has been meas
ured out to individuals. Natural re-
sources have per force Of circumstances
taken a back seat. The press of Great
Falls hasn't even mentioned the beauti-
full fall days that have been numbering
in this autumn of 1894. The general
prosperity OF Great Falls has been i'm.
proving quite rapidly during the last
ninety days. Even while politics have
been occupying large attention at the
hands OF all our people, business has
been looking up. Almost any merchant
will tell you that this is 80. In short it
begins to seem like old times, when Great
Falls could boast of not a vacant store
room and families waiting for a vacant
houee. This has not all been accom-
plished in a week, or a month, but things
have been tending that way ever since
the big wool clip of northern Montana
began to center at Great Falls last sum-
mer.
In the after-panic days this city was
Just about if not the very first to show
signs OF new life. From then until now
the improvement has been steady and
sure, until the future looks pretty good
all along the line. Now that the cam
paign bands have stopped playing for a
day you can hear the music
of the hammer and the saw. 1t
does very we'll for a change, and
in saying this much not the least bit of
reflection is cast upon the splendid
musical organizations which Great Falls
now possesses. 1t wouldn't be the truth
to claim that employment could be given
to hundreds of new people just now, but
1t may be remarked in passing that the
tin bucket brigade is busy here and at
good wages.
Looking at the tendency toward bet
ter things in another way we understand
that eastern money is again coming our
way. Ever the affable gentlemen who
manage the Great Falls loan offices of
eastern companies are reported to have
smiled with the entrance of a customer
on several occasions. They are not let
ting loose cash on the borrowers own
terms yet, but they are looking around
for gilt edge" security. To put it can
didly and seriously, the men of money in
other states are finding out that the
substantial future of Great Falls and
Cascade county is not a fiction; that the
city to be built here is not yet antici-
pated even by its own people; that it
would be more like a miracle if we
should stop than il we go on; that the
water power, the fuel, and the wealth of
our mountains make a combination of
advantages that must mean progress;
otherwise commercial history on this
side Of the Atlantic teaches nothing
| at all. y
Since so much has been accomplished
during months of campaigning aud poll
tics 1t is reasonable to expect a good
many important results for tho good of
Great Falls during what is left Of 1894
and in 1895. This city is decidedly on
the move again and it is easy enough to
believe that the next panic will not stop

POLICE COMMISSIONS "MIsTAKE.'
Mr. Flaherty's Name Sent to the Mayor as
Eligible.

The explanation of the Police Commits
sion's action in not presenting the name
of BARLEY c. Flaherty to MayorBaxter as
eligible for appointment is as follows: In
the first place, no such name had been
given to the Comnisson by the City
Clerk, and he had not received that ap-
plication under the proper conditions.
Mr.. Trefethen looked over the record
book of the commission vest .rday and
found that BARLEY G. Flaherty was ex-
amined May Sd 1892 and given rat
ing of Is. The record shows that the
rating was changed October 31st, 1893,
the application being reconsidered and
on motion it was voted to increase the
rating from IS to So. This change was
not sent to the City Clerk. The rule is
that if man is not appointed within
two years after his rating is made he
must be re-exam:ned. Of course from
May 3, 1892. when Mr.. Flaherty was first
examined till the present time is more
than two years. On the strength of the
mention in the record that Mr.. Flaherty' s
rating had been increased to So Mr.. Ire
fethen sent his name to the Mayor yes
serday as eligible to appointment. II
there is any fault in this matter it does
not lie with Mr.. Trefethen, but with his
predecessor, Mr.. McClutchy, with whom
it lay that Mr.. Flaherty's increased rat
ing should De properly recorded with the
City Clerk. II

A Dog Incident.

He was medium sized black curly dog.
and was prisoner on a deserted schooner
in Union wharf dock. The tide was low and
he couldn't jump on the wharf. As man
went by who has weakness for dogs, this
fellow began to bark and whine
and beg to be helped, as plainly as anybody
could. The man stopped. The dogs tail
wagged with joy. The man resolved to go
down aboard the dismantled vessel and try
TO get the dog up on the wharf. He climbed
down. The dog greeted him with joy. He
went up on the after deck and looked down
into the cabin. There were signs that it
had been recently inhabited. The dogs tail
stopped wagging when the man looked down
into the cabin, and when he attempted to
lift the dog, it sprang at him in fury, and
he was forced to drive it away and get. ok
to the wharf as best he could without losing
any of his trousers. The dog must have
thought that the man intended to steal
something, though why it should be so
anxious to leave the vessel. II it belonged
there, and was not deserted and left there
isn't clear.

HAWAII
will Be Given in Grand Style at City Hall
Tonight.

The full dress rehearsal of the new
Diplomatic Opera, Hawaii" by the
Athletic Club Opera Company, more
than assures the success of the opera.
No better performance could be desired
before the public than was this dress re-
hearsal, both principals and chorus be-
ing perfect in their parts. and the piece
went without break from the first note
of the overture to the last of the finale.
So perfect a rehearsal makes certain q
crisp, snappy performance for tonight,
when the opera will be seen for the first
time by the public. It also makes pos
sible the announcement that carriages
ance will not run later than that hour.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the energy and enterprise displayed by
the members Of the Athletic Club in
producing an original opera in SO fine a
way as Hawaii" will be produced TO-
proud of his share of the work, and the
verdict of the packed house which will
surely greet the performers tonight, can
put echo the words of praise spoken by
all who, last evening, awere SO fortunate
as to have heard in advance the bright
sparkling airs of this tuneful opera.
Last night, as they watched.the beau
tiful stage picture glittering in the bril-
liaut calcium lights, the amusement COM
mitee must have felt in the certainty of
the assured success, which must come
tonight ample payment for the time and
hard work they have SO freely given.
For the performers, their triumph will
come tonight, when they will win new
laurels for themselves and the organiza-
tion to which theysbelong. Secure your
seats today for the opening performance,
and give the boys the rousing welcome
they so well deserve.

PORTLAND DRAW.
An Arrangement Satisfactory to the SNIP
ping Interests-Plan to Lengthen Piers.

Wednesday forenoon, County CommIs-
sioners Plummer and Lord, representing
the county, met those interested in snip
ping affairs at the office of Major Heap,
some arrangement in regard to the open
ing of the draw of Portland bridge.
The Boston& Maine was represented by
ex-Alderman RE. McClutchy, the Maine
Central by Freight Agent Rogers. j. 5.
Winslow & Go. by E.W. Clark Sargent,
Lord & Skillin by Mr.. Henry Sargent,
The Central Wharf Towboat Company
by Captain Tenney. Others present
were BIZ. Willard and Benjamin Thomp-
son, ESQ.,, the latter acting as counsel
for..the tug boat interests. The regula-
ton allowing the draw to be opened on
iy during the hours between sunrise and
sunset is a grievance to the shipping in
terest, and they represent that it causes
large costs for demurrage, ETC..
The outcome of the consultation was an
arrangement satisfactory to both the
commissioners and the shipping inter-
eets. This agreement is as follows:
Portland bridge will be opened for the
passage of vessels between a. m. and
z p. m. from October 1st to April LIST,
and between a. m. and p. m. from
April 1st to October 1st. At other hours
the bridge will be opened on notification
to draw tenders.
Orders to this effect were given to the
draw tender Wednesday afternoon.
At this meeting new and important
matter was brought up by Mr.. Thomp-
son. The pier Cd which the draw is
placed is protected by piers, one on each
side. and about 80 feet each in length.
The draw, when open, covers both these
piers. Mr.. Thompson proposes for the
tug boat men that these piers be length
ened, so that vessels may lie at them
while the draw is opening. This matter
was presented. to Major Heap, but he
ruled that as the..matter had not come
through the Secretary of War he could
not entertain it. The tow boat men will
bring the matter to the attention of the
War Department..
The new draw, piers and.all, was made
according to the plans of 1.-THE War De-
partment and finished last July. The
county commissioners estimate that the
extension of the piers would mean an
expense to the county of not less than
$4,000.
