The senatorial contest in Delaware
has assumed an unprecedented status.
After Il long contest in which Addichs a
wealthy gas monopolist, who unfortu-
pately was a Rehublican, tried long aud
prrsistently to control the matter and
secure his own election to the place for
which he was eminentlv unfit. Col. Bur
ton, Republicans, secured Ii votes which.
without the Speaker of the senate who
had through the death of the Governor
of the State been elevated to the eXecu-
tive chair, would be a majority Of The
members of the Senate. But ut thi-
inncture this official returned 10 III,

Republicans claim the election of Burton

An important Discovery.

A new consumption cure, the dis
covery of a learned professor of Genoa,
Italy, is reported. 1t was only few
years ago that Professor Koch's cure
was heralded to the world as a dead
cinch on consumption. at least in its
earlier stages, but Koch's cure appears
not to have panned out according to
expectations. At any rate II is being
supplanted by the new Italian remedy.
for which the claim is made that 1t
will cure all patients in the FIRST stages
of consumption. Perfectly authenti-
Gated reports show that most remark
able results have attended the treat
ment OF two hundred consumptives in
Italy during the last four months. Re-
suits of a most remarkable character
are also said to have attended it's use
in the Italian hospital in New York
city According TO the old statistics
on the subject consumption Is killing
of the human race at the rate of seven
in every hundred annually. Anything
that viii stay the ravages of this dis
ease is a godsend TO the world. Here
in Montana. however. the subject does
not concern us directly. for we have nc
more use for Koch's lymphs and Ital-
ian consumption discoveries than we
have for the present administration.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1895.
To Lead The Majority.

II was at first reported that the re-
publican plan was to name Congress
man Dingley as the leader of the ma
jority in the house of representatives.
That seemed to be a singular arrange
ment. as Mr.. Dingley is from Speaker
Reeds own state. What happened
yesterday. incident to the organization
of the house. is an intimation that the
leadership on the floor will be as
signed to Mr.. Payne. who represents
an inland district in the state Of New
York. II that happens. 1t will be in
evidence of the fact that Speaker Reed
intends to run things absolutely his
own way-the New Yorker will be at
his service.
Mr.. Payne is a most estimable gen.
tleman. Yesterday he began his sixth
term in the house. He is not what
would be called an ideal leader, as the
public judges leadership. He is not
an attractive talker-he is seldom
heard in debate. He is modest in man.
ner. He has always been recognized as
faithful worker In committee room and
worth. but he was never deemed to
be an aggressive fighter. The over
whelming republican majority in the
house puts things in such shape that.
in the matter of leadership on the
floor. Mr.. Payne will do. When II
comes to numbers. the opposition is lit
tie more than a contingent; II the ses-
sion brings on any lighting, Speaker
Reed will be able to manage 1t all him
self.
1t may be that Speaker Reed saw for
himself a few sections OF presidential
fence-building by giving the leader
ship to a member from New York. In
that event. Mr.. Payne is a good-enough
choice. The state of New York is not
strong In the house Of representatives.
OF its Twenty-Five republican members
sworn in yesterday. fifteen have never
seen service in any former congress,
and not a man among those OF the re-
publicans who have had congressional
experience has taken a place of promi-
hence or become known by name to a
large public. Enough to add that the
most talked-of and the most talkative
OF New York republicans in the last
house was Lemuel Eli Quigg, more OF
less known in Montana.
AS a rule. New York has been strong
in the federal senate; but Its house
delegation has often been Indifferent
Within sixty years. no New Yorker has
been elected TO the speakership; In
deed. since the republic was started
only one citizen OF the state OF New
York has held the office Of speaker Of
the house-and probably there are no
three hundred people in the broad EN-
pire state to-day who know that mans
name. A New Yorker tried for thu
speakership in 1881, but he was de
feated in caucus by Warren Keifer, o

TO be the most comprehensive failur

PHILLIDA's BIRTHDAY.

Although you might surmise
She descended from the skies
Yesterday,
Ny Phillida would scorn
To deny that she was born
Quite the ordinary way.
But should you ask her "when?"
She would smile upon you then.
~ With an air
That would seem to Indicate
She was just as old fate,
With the ages in her hair.
The month, the day, perchance,
She'll confess with merry glance
For she knows
A birthday box may come
Something that may tell, though dumb
More than words would dare dis
close.
But never will you gain
What is locked within her BRAIN
Videlfcet:
What year. most happy one.
First awakened to the sun
I Those deep eyes of violet.
And yet she is, In truth,
Such a paragon of youth,
You'll agree
The subject of her years
Gould not be a source of fears,
To a. maid so young as she.
But Phillida is sage!

Cuttino Time Down.

The passenger train on the New York
Central railroad known as the EN-
pire State express left the grand CEN
trail station in the city of New York,
yesterday morning, under orders to
make the run to Buffalo at rate OF
speed averaging 53.35 miles an hour.
The distance is $50 miles. The condi-
lions for the trial trip were unfavor-
able as far as the weather was con-
cerned. A telegram under Syracuse
date announces that the train reached
that city on time; the distance to SYRIA
cuse from the city Of New York Is
three hundred miles. Under the sched-
ule. the Empire State express covered
this distance of three hundred miles in
about Ave hours and thirty minutes.
In the city of Syracuse are many
people whose memories undoubtedly
recalled old times when this Empire
State express rolled into their town.
In the cities of Central New York are
hundreds of men and women who, less
than fifty years ago, left New England

themselves in what was then a new
country. They came by wagon or took

has taken place during the lifetime OF
