MONTANA COMMENT.

Hardly has General Schofleld been an
nounced as n candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for president until the
Helena Independent hastens to gravely
assert that Schofleld could not be elected
president. and gives as the reason for so
believing because Hancock. also a soldier,
could not be elected in 1880. There is
suspicion that the reason why the Inde-
pendent detracts from Schofleld's cand-
dacy is because that organ of the present
administration fears that presidential
boom for the grizzled veteran would seri-
ously interfere with Growers greedy and
visionary desire for a third term.-River
Press.
The Oberlin Review of May Is contains
an excellent portrait of Francis ID. KEEL
sey, professor of botany in that college.
Tho Review says that Professor Kelsey is
an example of what professional man
may do by diligently riding n hobby.
While pastor at Helena, Mont, he OBJ
tanned rest and recreation in botanical
excursions, making important discover
les. His reputation rs n botanist grew
rapidly and he was finally induced to
give his entire time to scientific investi-
CATION. Thus, to use tho apt phraslng of
Professor Currier. his avocation became
his vocation.-Great Falls Loader.
There seems to be a bad strata of air
over ut Great Falls, for one fight succeeds
another. This timo It is over the new
school house investigation, and Mr..
Downing. who played Juliet to Mr..
Thresher's Romeo, last fall at tho Boze-
man opera house, is the last person TO get
n smash in the jaw over there. The sue
cessful contestant for fistic honors was
Mr.. Greedy, who persisted in calling
Downing a liar. until his Missouri blood
boiled and bubbled and his right arm flew
out and hit Mr.. Greedy n swipe in the jaw.
Peace was restored by the intervention OF
spectators, and now the public awaits for
{ he next outbreak.-Bozeman Chronicle.
The Anaconda Standard camo out Sun
day morning as n seven-column, l6-page
paper, all set with Merganthaler type
setting machines. 1t is n handsome paper
and has all the news of state and nation.
Boulder Age.
Great Falls is destined TO be one OF tho
greatest industrial centers of this country.
1t is admirably situated as to water power,
coal and ores. and 1t has n class of citi-
gems that would make any town go ahead.
Some of them do not like some of the
other citizens, but when it comes to n
question about anything to benefit or up
build their town they pull together as
though they all belonged TO the same
church, and therein as much as in their
natural advantages lies much of their
strength. In this respect they set an ex-
ample that other Montana towns might
profitably copy.-Billings Times.
The many friends of the Standard at
Bozeman were, on Sunday, gratified TO re-
ceive il in an enlarged form, seven col
umns TO the page and 16 pages in all, four
pages more than is generally run on sun
day. The Standard makes the worst pos
sible connections with Bozeman under the
present railroad schedule; but notwith-
standing this, its friends are as numerous
as ever, as they should be, for the Stand
ard is great paper in any country
Bozeman Chronicle.
Tbs Greater Standard" of last Sunday
morning was a hummer. Inc Anaconda
standard has enlarged TO seven columns
and is determined not TO be outdone as a
news medium by any paper in the North
west.-Boulder Sentinel.
