HON. Gilbert ID. WEED,

the present popular mayor of Helena,
whose sound republicanism no n
can question. He stands today at
the forefront of Montana politics,
high in the councils of his party, and
able as the ablcst in matters pertain
ing to good and wise government.
He is well known in the state. AS a
iurist, he stands far to the front. AS
a scholar, no question will be found
in the transaction of any public duty
which he can not readily answer. AS
a man, no man claims to be his
superior Honorable, upright, just;
patient, persistent, successful. He
is such a mar as Montana may we'll
be proud to see in the occupancy of
any position to which it is within the
power of her people to elevate him.
While the HERALD does not
attempt to cast any manner of adj
verse reflection upon any of those
who have a chance before the legi-
stature, or even upon the long list of
those who only think they have a
chance, yet it is u~nreserved in the
expression of its choice, and in the
announcements of its unvarying belief
that no better men could be sen to
the senate of the United States than
MANTLE and WEED. And this
judgement we believe has been de-
rived without and above the local
and personal influences so apt to OBJ
tain in all such contests.

WHO SHALL WI HAVE FOR
SENATORS.

In respect to the senatorial pos
sibilities the HERALD has had little
to say, although a discussion of the
relative merits of the various public
men might have been in order. One
thing the people would surely relish
is the promptest action possible in
the election of these important Off
GERS. Certainly a delay in arriving
at decision need not be occasioned
by any lack of knowledge of the
merits of a candidate, as the life and
character of the various candidates
have been for years before the public.
Delays, therefore in the effectual and
speedy settlement of this important
question can only offer a possibility
of frequent and long continued vot-
ing, and consequently furnish a risk
that no decision will be reached.
1t is not characteristic of repub-
lican bodies to long remain hesitating
or undecided, but rather to employ
speedily the measures and remedies
which seem most generally desirable.
We therefore do not look for delay
in the transaction by the coming
session Of the Legislature of this i'm
portant function.
For the republicans have an en-
phatic majority in both branches of
that body.
AS to the selection Of candidates,
the HERALD of course, has it's choice.
There is first and foremost in the
list,
HON. L MANTLE,
who. has so distinguished himself in
the past two campaigns, in the ca
pacity of chairman of the State Cen
trail committee of his party. In this
public service he has shown himself
paramount in the possession of tact,
ability and great political sagacity.
He is an organizer without peer.
Heroic and stcadfast in his aims and
objects, he accomplishes wonders
when entrusted with a place of re-
sponsibility. Coming from the
greatest mining camp IN earth (out-
side of Neihart) he is by education
admirably qualified to defend the in
terests of the silver miner. His sup
erior oratorical ability, too, is "A mark
vastly in his favor, for in forensic de-
bate Mantle has long been distingu-
ished.
a good running mate for Mantle
should be selected from among the
east side candidates, and as this
paper differs from its contemporary
publications by the not having a
senatorial candidate on its staff, its
judgements must be accepted as
guided by motives free from the in
huences of prejudice.
Many anne are presented from
the east side. OF these, some, il
must be admitted, possess more Oh
less merit. Some, however, anC
notably those whose inclpient boom
is the product of the lucubrations Of
democratic editors, can not at besI
be looked upon as other than an ex-
pertinent; and we do not believe the
next Legislature will resort in any de.
gree to dangerous experimentation

position may be found in the person

grinding out to excuse Kennedy to

There is a movement on foot among
several of our wealthiest and most

six leading physicians to persuade
DR.. W. q. Coffee. the oculist. TO

him TO do so, but he has refused. but
they are making a general movement
and are going to offer every induce

great compliment, and the doctor
appreciates il very much. and it is
something that never has been done
in this city before. But we will say
that Rock Island needs just such

ly one Of the leading and most pro.

happiness of the beloved object Herein
consists perfect felicity The most triv-
ial concerns of economy become noble
and elegant when they are exalted by
sentiments of affection; to furnish an

the greater part of the sex who are in

both are prepared, by calm reflection,
for mutual infirmities and the ravages

entertain such rational sentiments are
united by indissoluhle bonds, all ma

opinion, such a life is infinitely more
happy and more voluptuous than the
most ravishing and best regulated gal

Another reason why a woman should
have the privilege of proposing is, that
it is she who will bear the fruits of

years of WEAKNESS, the intense anxiety

she not have the selection of her part

MULES DELIRIous WITH PLEAsuRE

L saw an odd sight in Luzerne county, -
said Eckley B. Coke. six mules that
had for four years hauled cars in the
lower workings of a coal shaft to and
from the foot of the shaft had to be
brought up, owing to the flooding of the
mine on account of fire. The mules in all
that time had seen no light stronger than

miners carried. The sun was in it's
zenith when they reached the surface,

The astonished creatures closed their
eyes to shut out the flood of strong light
and Kept them closed while they were be-
ing driven to a pasture lot a mile dis
tant and turned loose. There they stood
trembling, as if they were afraid some
thing evil was about to befall them.
Presently they half opened their eyes and
peered around in open mouthed amaze
ment. 1t was clear they couldn't under
stand it.
when they had become accustomed to
the sunlight, they elevated their heads
and slowly swept their gaze over culm
piles, sky, mountains and horizon again
and again. Toward shutdown they broke
into chorus of joyous brays, the like of
which was never heard from mules be-
fore.
After quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like teetotums and roll
For four days they spent their time Saz-

refusing food and water, not even nibbl-
ing at the grass and not as much as

ARTIFICIAL PETROLEUM.

1t is not perhaps generally known that
petroleum can now be produced artifici-
ally The process is very simple, being
under a pressure of % atmospheres of
the animal fats and oils at Temperature
of 300 degrees C. Under favorable condi-
tions 20 per cent of the fatty oils is
transformed into petroleum, which is 81
per cent of the theoretical yield The
product thus obtained has been found TO
be in every particular Identical with ma
tural petroleum. 1t is suggested that.
with notifications of conditions in the
process, oils of different grades may be
produced.
