the sale OF its sovereignty to an aliOn
corporation.
but tho oitlsons OF Helona should not
deceive themselves They are ighting
ono of tho most dangerous, powerful
ond unscrupulous toos that evor con-
fronted froc people The Anaconda
Copper company, according 10 tho most
careful calculations, has 1000 paid
ngents Ia tho fold That corporation
roalizcd in profits last year 100000, T.
has voted 10 oSpond one-halt OF that
sum, or Sl,5Oo00) in the purchase OF
the capital OF this state.
Throughout the state the unbousht
ard unbuyablo body OF our citizlnry
the mon who love their state aud will
not accept Marcus Days dollars, have
declared themselves in opposition to the
aggressions OF this alien Anaconda cor
poration this Montana pullmun.
But our people cannot afford to ignore
the terrible power OF money. 1t is go
ing TO bo desperate fight ngainst
enormous wealth, against a powerful
corporation which scruplos at nothing.
We do not know how many eau DO in
duced TO succumb TO the jingle Of Days
dollars. But il is time whom our peo.
Pie cuunot afford TO sleep. The battle
with plutocracy is TO 10 fought out here
and now in Montana.
With tho moral support OF the good,
tho henost aud the true people OF this
state bebind them, with the honor and
good name Of tho commonwealth in
thoir keeping, the people of HelOna
must girl themselves for the greatest
battle that WINS ever fought for the good
name Of a state. Thus for the contest
has been waged 10y a comparatively
small number Of our citizens. From to-
day on, every man, woman and child in
the city must be enlisted in the cause.
II is moro than tho cause Of q city; it is
the causc OF state; il 10 the cause OF
tho people, Every resident of Helena
must volunteer. Some service can be
rendered by every one. Speakers must
DO sent TO every city and mining camp
TO arouse the voters TO their danger.
Every person who cannot tender his
services in the campaign can at least
make it possible that some other person
should represent him.
All tho devices and deyltry Of Nam.
mon arc against US.
We say TO tho citizens OF Helena this
morning that tho situation which con-
fronts them cannot DO exaggerated IN
its gravity. We telieve that Helena
can win, but it 10 only possible for her tc,
win by mighty and determined effort
by calling into play every energy and
resource at her command.
Were this simply strife between two
rival towns for capital honors THE In
DEPENDENT would not use these words
But this is fight to the death between
the sovereign people ofa state and prl-
vate corporation swollen and inilamed
with power, for supremacy over the
destinles OF free people, No such
menace ever before confronted on
American state, and the people OF
Helena in this crisis have placed upon
them one OF the greatest responsibilities
that ever confronted any body Of
citizens.
VIII they fnlter in their plain duty?

NOBODY roalizes better than the pee

with its single policy Of rulo or ruin.

PAYING ToR ANAooNDA's WHISTLE.

With the capital removed to Ana
condn every person in Northern Mon
tana compelled TO 20 there on business
would pay sl2 moro for the round trip
thnn 10 stopping at Helena. This extra
sl2 would be direct tax imposed on
every passenger TOR the benefit OF Ana
conda'e ambition, in addition to which
would be tho waste Of the best part OF
two extra days 10 make the journey.
Possibly the voters OF north Montana
will ask the question whether the graft
flcntion of Daly's ambition will be suf-
ficicnt return for their extra expense
and Inconvenience. They will ut least
wonder where the advantage TO them
comes in. The woolgrowers, stock
.aisers aud ranchmon all over the state
will also inquire whorein they are to
gain by q removal Of the seat OF govern
ment from an independent town where
they feel as good us anybody, to place
where their occupation is regarded with
contempt and whore their interests by
Legislation will be likely 10 suffer.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-08-18
The Wrong Card.

During his visit to Paris a distin- guished German professor presented himself at the house of a well known lady, to whom he had sent letters of in- troduction for a dance.
 When the servant opened the door and received his card, she conducted him to the boudOir and told him to be seated, saying:
 Madam will come immediately"
 Presently the lady entered. She was in dishabillc. and her feet were bare. covered only with loose slippers. She bowed to him carcleSsly and said:
 "Ah. good morning"
 She threw herself on a chair, let fall a slipper and extended her pretty foot to the professor. He was naturally com pletely astounded, but he remembered that at his home in Germany it was the custom sometimes to kiss q lady's hand, and he supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss her foot. Therefore he did not hesitate to imprint kiss upon the fas- cinating foot so near him.
 The lady jumped up. highly indig- nant.
 "Who arc you, sir. and what do you mean:''
 He gave his name.
 "Then you are not a chirupodist:''
 ''I am charmed to say, madam. that am not"
 ''But you sent me chiropOdist' $ card:''
 It was true. The professor ill going out that morning had picked up the card of chiropodist from his bureau and put it in his pocket. This. without glancing at it. ho had given to the serv- ant, who had taken it to her mistress There was nothing to be done but to laugh over the joke.-Life's Calendar.

of violence on the throat or on the frame Only on the violet lips fingered slight curl of foam. The smooth bed clothes drawn up to the chin forbade the idea of a struggle. looked at the right arm lying on the counterpane, at the hand, and there in the palm was a rag ged wound from thumb to little finger It was discolored at the edges and looked green and unwholesome- This livid appearance made me think of poi son, but I was not sufficiently a doctor to diagnose the case correctly. Yet I was certain of one thing-that Francis Briarfield had come by his death in some foul fashion. and that at the hands of-whom?
 Aye, there was the rub! So far as knew, the landlord had no motive to commit such crime. Suspicion pointed toward the maid who had wished to speak with the dead man after supper. Yet why should she desire his death2 From the lips of Francis himself had heard that he knew neither Strent nor Rose, nor indeed aught of the Fen inn. Hither he had been brought by his brothers letter to keep an appointment and was as ignorant of the inn, of its inmates, of its surroundings as l. Could Felix have committed this crime? True, if my theory were correct and he had passed himself off to Olivia Bellin as Francis, there were some grounds for believing he wished his brother out of the way. Francis would undoubtedly refuse to permit the decep- tion to be carried on, so it was just pos sible that Felix, in frenzy of wrath and terror at the idea of his treachery being exposed, might have slain his brother. Yet all this fine theory was upset by the fact that Felix had not arrived on the previous night to keep the appointment He therefore must be guiltless
 If so. what of the landlord and his daughter? Certainly they had no req son to slay a stranger who had shell

winding road to Marshminster. but saw 10 one coming therefrom. Not a soul was in sight, and if did for a moment think that Strent and his daughter might return and declare themselves in- nocent the thought was banished by a few hours outlook. The inn, as said before. was on a slight rise, and could see far and wide. No human being was to be seen, and as the hours passed I grew almost mortified at the grewsome solitude. To be alone with a dead body in q lonely house in a lonely moor is hardly healthy for the mind.
 Toward noon took a resolution.
 "n," said I, "the mountain won't come to Mohammed. why, then, Mo hammed must go to the mountain"
 The interpretation of this was that I intended to see Felix Briarfield at Bellin Hall, Marshminster. Face to face with him. and would force him to explain why he had not kept the appointment It seemed to me a suspicious circum- stance. Perhaps Strent had told him Francis was dead. and therefore it would be useless for him to ride to tho Fen inn. If this were so, it would go long way toward duplicating him in the crime.
