These are few of the purposes and
possibilities of a Chamber of Commerce.
but only few. 1t is, properly composed,
the successor OF the primitive Town
Meeting. but amplifed upon modern
lines and with definite purpose. 1t

people may be represented abroad, and
through which they may speak more
advisedly and calmly than through the
hastily called mass meeting. 1t will in
time come TO be a watchman upon the
city walls concerning municipal govern
ment and its economy. 1t will become
the conservator of progressive move
ments and the foe of all wildcat schemes.
For it must be borne in mind that such
bodies proceed slowly. methodically; act
only after investigation and inquiry. and.
as rule. are not quick to judgment.
They are not impulsiye, moved by popu-
lar excitement, anger or disappointment,
as Is the mass meeting. nor are they apt
to be promoted or "steered" in their ex-
preston and assembly, as the designer of
mass meeting is able to steer hastily
convened and shortliyed gatherings,
which are without responsibility and
quite as often representative Of the view
of a seheming individual as Of the senti-
ment of the community.

The Supreme Court of Missouri has
rendered an important decision in the
case of the Kansas City Gaslight and
Coke Company. That corporation
claimed to have franchise in perpetuity.
but the court holds that the policy of the
law is opposed to unlimited duration of
business corporations, and that charters
assuming to give such rights canno3
stand.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

viii the City Trustees disabuse themselves
OF the idea if it is entertained that it will cost
so much money to cleanse the residence
streets that in the present condition of the
treasury the work cannot be done. 1t is pos
sible feasible, easy to promote system
which will so take among the people that our
residence streets can be kept clear of offensive
matter at cost so slight to the city that 1t
will be little more than nominal. Has the
question ever arisen in any official mind,
What becomes OF the horse droppings on
our residence streets ?" The city does not re-
move them except twice a year. Suppose
manuIe was allowed TO accumulate on the
bituminous paved streets for even week
what protest would go up. But we permit
1t TO gather on the residence streets for six
months, be dried, beaten into dust. blown
into our houses. and drawn into our lungs
Is it not about time to inaugurate different
policy, if for nothing more than from sense
of decency?

SECRETARY OLNEY was asked by a
bank if there is any law forbidding it to
act as depository for fund in aid of
the Cuban Insurgents. and the Secretary
has replied by citing Supreme Court
decisions that are to this effect: The
good citizen is assumed to be at war with
whatever nation his country is at war.
The good citizen, conversely, is assumed
to be at peace with all nations with which
his country is at peace. 1t is the duty OF
all citizens to be good citizens, therefore
it is a violation of duty to so act as will
operate against the nation with which we
are at peace by which that nation suffers
in war or insurrection. The principle.
says the court, ''lies at the foundation of
all government, as there could be no
social order or peaceful relations between
citizens Of different countries without
it." The reply of the Secretary is
patriotic, sound and honest. The truth
is simply this, if we were in the throes OF
revolution and Il foreign power with
which we are at peace should permit its
citizens or subjects to aid the revolution
lists, we would enter hot protest and de-
clare it to be an unfriendly act Such
case imagined is a solution of the ques-
ton. 1t is the old test of putting our
selves in the other fellows place.
The recent tests made on the New
Haven and Hartford Railroad of electric
motors is reported to have been satis-
factory. A passenger train was run by
an electric motor at speed of forty five
miles an hour, the weight of the train
being It's tons. Next a freight train of
450 tons was moved at speed of twenty
five miles an hour. But we are not in
formed by the Eastern accounts of the
economies of the test, whether the cost
was greater or less than movement by
the steam locomotive, nor what were the
grades overcome, nor of any Of the essen
tial details to enable us to judge of the
relative economy of electric motors in
such cases. as compared with movement
cost by the present system oflocomotives.

Justice Iriumphs.

Billings Gazette: The conviction of
Bill Gay. the red-handed desperate
who is in a large measure responsible
for the death of two brave men-Will-
lam RAIDER and James Mackie-is a
distinct triumph of Justice. The pub
lie will be gratified that the Helena
jury did not yield to the feeling of
sentimentality that seemed to prevail
in favor of the murderer in that city.
The defense set I'D that Gross, his
partner in crime. fired the fatal shots,
seemed likely at one time to clear Gay,
coupled with a lot of trash published
in the newspapers about him being a
generous and whole-souled old timer
in the Black Hills
Those two men alone are responsible
for the deaths of RAIDER and Mackie,
and even If 1T could not have been
proved that Gay actually fired the
fatal shot. we contend he should have
been condemned Just the same. He had
made boasts that he would not be
taken alive and was as willing TO COM
init murder as his partner. and had he
not done so 1t would have been by the
merest accident. And the death of the
two brave officers will not be avenged
until Gross is CAPTURED and meets the
same fate. 1t Is clearly a case of a life
for "a life. and the prompt conviction of
GAY makes II certain that no Montana
jury will acauit him II the second des-
perado is ever arraigned for trial.
