In the matter of the discussed consol-
idation of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern systems, it is remarked,
as another obstacle, that in the Montana
state constitution, there is a section
which explicitly forbids the pooling or
consolidation of parallel or competing
lines of railroad in that state, or the
management of such lines by the same
officers. This, it is claimed, would Ger
tainly apply to the branch lines of both
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern systems in Montana, if not to the
trunks, and would effectually prevent
the consolidation of the roads on the
plan which was first said. to be agreed
upon. No provision of law has been
framed to give effect to this section of
the constitution, but no doubt the legls.
lature would pass one, for public senti-
ment there is antagonistic to the unity
ing of the two systems. Some of the
papers in Butte and Helena intimate
that the governor would be asked to call
a special session for the purpose, if the
reorganization Of the Northern Pacific is
attempted.

HE house of commons of the British
parliament, by a vote OF 220 to 50, re-
fused an appropriation for the erection
of a monument to the memory of Oliver
Cromwell, on the theory that to erect
such a monument would be an insult to
Ireland. The England of today owes
more to Cromwell than any man she has
produced. After beheading one of her
kings. he SO tempered the will of the
people as to make an absolute monarchy
an impoesibility. And while history
teaches that much blood and treasure
has been expended in attempts to re-
establish and maintain the tyrannical
governments existing before his day, the
leaven he instilled in the minds of the
people has leavened the whole loaf. He
gave England her proudest title-"Mis-
tress of the Seas" The action of the
house of commons drew from the poet,
Algernon Charles Swinburne, a poem
which rings out like a bugle call, and is

tector" than could be cast in brass or

ONE result Of Secretary Lamont,e

ONE result of Secretary Lamont's
western tour will be that the. army posts
will be provided with improved facilities
for caring for the sick and injured. There
is a hospital attached to every place
where there is a garrison, but it is more
in the nature OF a sick ward than a hos.
pital. Some of the best surgeons in the
country are in the federal service, and
although it is a time Of peace, they have
plenty to do. In spite of this, reports
show that there is hardly an army post
in the country which has any facilities
for operations. When the knife is called
into play an army surgeon is hampered
first by the difficulty of finding a fit place
i'll which to perform a difficult operation
and then by the lack OF subsequent COM
fort for his patient. This state of things
is to be changed. The surgeon general
will shortly issue orders providing for
the establishment of proper surgical
wards wherever there is a garrison.

The state crop report of Monday
shows some damage reported to wheat
and other grains, but there has been an
improvement since some of the reports
were forwarded, and the prospects now
may be stated as good. In parts of the
state the yield will be smaller than was
expected earlier in the season, but on
the whole the state harvest will prob
ably be above the average. Aside from
the wheat crop, there is, perhaps, a
larger acreage of other grains than ever
before in the state, and it will all con-
tribute to the revenue of the North
Dakota farmer.

MONTANA has compiled and enacted q
new set of codes for the state, and as the
laws therein contained are unfolded,
their beauties become only too apparent.
One Of the curious features of the laws
Is described by the Butte Miner, which
says:
Great is the code.
Greater thar all other codes is the Mon
tana code.
Its plumbers are more numerous, pyro-
technical and picturesque than those of
any other code i'll the world.
1t has Just been discovered that the codes
provide for the election of city officers
every year and with all the solemnity that
can be placed between the covers OF a book
fixes the term OF Office at two years. In
other words the term of office of mayor is
two years and a mayor is to be elected
every year. At first this may appear ri
diculous, but when one studies the subject
carefully he appreciates the far seeing wis.,
dom of the legislators. Montana is pre-.
%enlinently a mining state. When the
mines are being worked on high pressure
there are three shifts OF miners. Why, then
should one mayor be expected to attend to
the duties of Office during the entire twenty
four hours? Why not have a surplus of
mayors-at least two-in order that the
great work of governing the municipality
may be properly attended to? Thus
reasoned the lawmakers and in order that
there might be 10 opportunity for COM
plant they decided upon the scheme where
by each city may have at least two mayors,
one for the day shift and one for the night.

The public mind, which has been sa-
tiated with murders in the past year or
SO, will have another case to grapple
with from now on, in the Durant trial at
San Francisco. In this matter, it is of
interest to note, as %evidencing the occa-
sional extremes Of morbidity of which
some minds are capable, that a Pacific
coast author is reported to have written
a play, %embodying the principal feature,
of the sickening tragedy Of Emanuel
church, which he proposes to have
staged. It is hardly probable it will be
done, but the revival of the pillory for
it's author might have q salutary effect.

for the purpose of keeping warm what
little spirit of democracy exists in the
breasts of the faithful in this section of
country. Senator Faulkner, chairman of
the national democratic congressional
committee, denies that any party of dem
ocratlc orators is to be sent under the
auspices Of the committee during the
present summer and approaching fall for
the purpose of discussing the currency
question in a series Of meetings. Mr..
Faulkner says they must go as individ-
uals if they go, and not as accredited
campaign orators. Perhaps he is of the
opinion the trip would be the wasting of
too much breath which could be loosed
to better advantage next year.
