The Helena Independent, not content
with picking out the republican senators
from Montana, jumps into the presiden-
tial fight and proposes Senator Allison Of
Iowa for the republican nominee for PRESS

The stockmen in this vicinity are Bit
terly complaining of the great losses that
they are compelled to stand from the wolf
pest. No less than five of the stockmen
in this immediate neighborhood have lost
at least 90 per cent of the calves from
their bands already this winter, and if
something is not done for the protection
of the cattlemen against the wolves by the
legislature at the coming session, there
will be very few young cattle on the range

Helena's floating debt has long been a
matter OF concern to the people of the
Capital city, and a new feature in the
business is the discovery of several forged
warrants issued by an assistant of the
city clerk. About $500 worth of these
forgeries had been issued previous to the
discovery, and the young man is now be-
hind the bars pending full investigation
of the matter.-RiUer Press.

should Mr.. Carnegie, after silver has
been completely knocked out and done
for, reduce wages to point far below

Mad son County Awake.

A mass meeting has been called by
citizens of Virginia City to devise
means by which 10 defeat the applica-
ton for patent of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company to the mineral
lands of the west side of Madison
county. Mr.. Thomas G. Merrill, in a
letter to the STANDARD a few weeks
ago, urged the importance of imme-
date action on this question in all por-
tions of Montana concerned, and gave
warning that delay would result in
the Northern Pacific gaining a final
victory in the long contest over the
minei al lands. Virginia City is taking
the lead and a complete list of Sec
tions of lands claimed by the Northern
Pacific company in Madison county
has been prepared. The Madison
county people are getting ready for
the contest The Northern Pacific
company is anxious TO elect its candi-
dates for the United States senate
first, and is bending its energies to
that end. When the senatorial fight is
over, look out for the mineral lands.

A New Bugaboo Wanted.

The last issue of the Iron Trade Re-
TiclC publishes a letter from Andrew
Carnegie in which he expresses conf
dence that the year 1895 is going TO be
better year for the iron and steel
trade than was the past year. As to
the reason for the depression, he says:
The sword of Dlmocles hangs over ey-
cry business IN the United States. That
sword is silver. Until the country
plants itself firmly aud forever upon
the platform of money of the highest
standard of value, no forecast is worth
much. Nothing stands in the way of
greater prosperity but the threat of
the degradation of the standard
value"
1t looks very much as if Carnegie
was trying 10 find a scapegoat and like
all the moneyed men of the East he
finds silver the convenient one. But he
is OVERRIDING II a little The Carnegie
mill owner has reduced wages from 10
to 20 per cent. below the wages he paid
last year, and il was necessary for him
to throw the blame somewhere. so he
keeps shouting "sIIver." Yet silver is
demonetized, it is lower than II ever
was before, there are no prospects OF
the free coinage of silver for years 10
come,-in fact the prospects for free
coinage were never darker. II silver
has really been the cause Of the iinan-
cial depression, which seems 10 be
continuing in the East, ought not
times 10 be better now than
they ever were befOrey Silver
was never in worse shape. Why. then.
If the argument Of the eastern gold
bugs Is TO be accepted, should not
times now corrcspondlagly be more
prosperous than ever before, and

man who comes to Butte, leaving

New lien in Charge.

| All over Montana new men yester-
day took charge of county affairs
Most of the newly elected Deer Lodge
county officials assumed office last
Thursday, gaining four days on the
new officials in the other counties OF
the state. The Deer Lodge officials
| figured that their predecessors were
elected for two years and that the
two years expired with Jan. 3, the
date two years ago when they assumed
| office. In the other counties it Was
considered that as their predecessors
assumed office the first Monday after
the first Tuesday in January, they
should follow the same plan, and give
the old officials the benefit of the tour
extra days. 1t is not likely that any
legal complications will arise to re-
qulre an official decision from the
courts as to which is right.
In Silver Bow county the retiring of
the old officials and the advent of the
new was varied by two claimants for
the office of county auditor W. r..
Boardman received the most votes
and presented the certificate of cleo
ton. Mr.. Winters, the old incumbent,
contests on the technical ground
that Mr.. Boardman has not been a
bona lide resident of Silver Bow county
for two years, as IS required by law.
The board of county commissioners
recognized Mr.. Boardman as county
auditor and he will act until the
courts decide the matter. Mr.. Winters
is too good a citizen TO hamper official
progress and will not interfere, deslr-
ing merely to have the matter pre-
sented to the courts and decided. To
the practical observer it would seem
that If the people of Silver Bow
county wanted Mr. Winters for auditor
they would have voted for him. But
they didn't. Mr.. Boardman received
the largest number of votes and it is
evidently the will of the voters of
Silver Bow county that he should
serve.
There is also a contest in Deer Lodge
county, Mr.. Stackpole claiming the
office OF county treasurer for which
Mr. Hallahan received the largest
number of votes. Mr.. Stackpoles con-
test is also on technical grounds lie
claims a certain irregularity in Mr..
Hallahan's nomination. As in the
Silver Bow case, it would seem that
If the people of Deer Lodge county
wanted Mr.. Stackpole for county treas
urer they would have voted for HIM
They showed by their votes that they
did not want Mr. Stackpole and that
they did want Mr.. Ilallahan.
The men who assumed Office yester-
day have it in their power to mater.-
ally advance the prosperity of their re-
spective counties.

Speaker SWEET.

It is a credit to the state of Mon
tana to have for speaker of its house
of representatives man of the
calibre of Wilbra ii. SWEET of Silver
Bow. Mr.. SWEET is held in highest
esteem where he is best known, in
Butte. For many years Mr. SWEET has
been an engineer in Butte, employed
during greater portion of the time
with the Butte Il Boston Mining COM
pany. Two years ago he accepted a
nomination on the republican legis-
latlve ticket and was handsomely
elected, receiving 2,679 votes, being
the fourth highest among about 80
candidates Outside of labor circles
he was at that time but slightly
known. He was not a declared
champion" of labor, in the usual
acceptation of that term, but he was
known as a "workingman who
works" and his record in the last
legislative session showed that while
a laboring man with laborlng man s
sympathies he was ready to guard
with equal care the rights and inter-
ests of all other classes of citizens.
lie proved an earnest and convincing
debater, and speedily became one of
the leaders of the house. In an
atmosphere of corruption there was
never a breath of suspicion of
the integrity of Mr.. SWEET as a citizen
or of his loyalty as a party man.
Mr.. Swett's splendid record at the
last session naturally resulted in his
denomination by reclamation at the
republican county convention last fall.
His record was endorsed 10y the citi-
zens of Silver Bow, who reelected him
by largely increased vote, he receiv-
ing 3406 votes last Novem Der as against
2,619 two years previously. While a
strong republican, he is eminently fair
in disposition, of decided character
and possesses in marked degree the
qualities which should make a model
speaker.
