What Will Happen?

It appears that, since Saturday, a
movement has been progressing in the
ranks of the secret organization known
as the 4. p. A. to prevent the electio n
of Mr.. Thomas Carter to the office of
senator, at the joint session of the
legislature which, under the terms of
the law, is to be held tomorrow.
Our prediction is that, just the same,
Mr.. Carter will be elected. The or
ganization to which we have referred
claims to hold liberal balance of
power among the republican member
ship in the egislature-there is no
doubt about that claim; and we sus-
pect that it is pretty well founded.
That being the case, it is a reason
able assumption that the a. Z. A. in
nuences, in honest operation, might
easily have defeated Mr.. Carter in
caucus Yet that didn't happen. The
conclusion is that Mr.. Carter over
looked some of the professional opera
tors who are for the flag, when that is
convenient, but who are for the flag
and an appropriation every time-if
the appropriation is for money slipped
into their pockets.
Mr.. Carter will be the victim of
raid to-day; it will have its spring in
Butte Our opinion is that 1T will be
a highway demand for cold cash. 1t
was, as we have said, within the power
of this A. p. a. concern to defeat Mr..
Carter in caucus lie was nominated,
and our opinion is that the agitation
over his confirmation is simply in ID
nature of notice that he must settle
with certain outsiders.
And our prediction is that Mr.. Carter
caucus nomination will be confirmed,
because you cannot bluff him. He is
no fviend of ours; in office, his inclina-
tion probably would be to fight the
STANDARD at every turn. Only, Mr..
Carter, our suggestion is this-if you
get hit for Doodle to-day, don't pay a
red cent.

They Should Be Retired.

Il ub way DSudlOI tdIcJ was luTHtu
down in the Wyoming legislature
should be a lesson to all those who are
chosen by western states to represent
them in Washington. The people of
Wyoming are almost unanimous for
the free coinage of silver But they
were represented in the United State s
senate by man who voted against
free coinage on every occasion. He
was candidate for reelection but he
did not receive a solitary vote in the
republican caucus, although two SEN
ators were to be chosen. The people
do have something to say about the
election of United States senators
once in while.
In Oregon the senatorial fight turns
directly on the silver issue, but in Ore
gon there is a difference of opinion
on the subject. The Portland ore
CONTAIN, (rep), says: Nothing is SO
utterly opposed to the principles and
purposes of the republican party as
the demand for free coinage of silver"
The OregOnidn undoubtedly reflects
the prevailing sentiment on the silver
question among eastern republicans.
The STANDARD does not believe it re-
fleets the prevailing sentiment among
republicans In the West or among any
large class of citizens even in Oregon.
The Oregonidn'S candidate for senator
is j. \. Dolph, the present senator and
pronounced anti-silver man. The
Dallas Itemizer declares that the peo-
pie eff the state of Oregon want free
silver, and as Mr.. Dolph is opposed to
free silver it favors men of other par
ties supporting some silver repub-
lican if that course is necessary in
order to defeat Mr.. Dolph. The Port
land san strongly opposes Dolph's re-
election, declaring him to be a gold
bug senator, and not fit representa-
tive for the state of Oregon, which
should be in line with the rest of the
West for free coinage.
In the state of Washington, too, the
people are protesting that they have
not been properly represented in con-
gress by John L. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson
has served several terms in congress
and has done everything in his power
at every opportunity against free coin
| age. The silver sentiment i'll Wash
ington is strongly opposing Allen.
True silver men the country over
will have occasion for rejoicing if
Dolph is turned down in Oregon and
Allen is retired in Washington just as
Carey has been in Wyoming. The
states of Oregon and Washington must
be loyal to tie West and they should
/ be represented, not misrepresented.
/ The silver issue has become of too
vital interest TO permit even the ap-
pearance of treachery and Montana at
least Is prepared, in case it should not
be represented properly in Washing
4 ton by the men IT has trusted, To for
ward petition for resignation of such
a character and such a force that the
party to whom it is directed would be
too glad TO heed it. Montana will find
means to bring back any man who
! might prove false TO IL on the silver
question, but the proper course is TO
make sure of the right men before
electing them.
There should be a solid silver pha-
lanN in congress from the states west
of the Mississippi river and the retire
ment of Allen, Dolph and Carey VIII
do much to accomplish this result.

As TO New Counties.

Measures already before the legisla-
ture at Helena show two tendencies in
exactly opposite directions On the
one hand, there is a demand coming
from several quarters of the state for
a sharp cut in the earnings of county
of1icers-some of the petitions propose
a reduction of nearly fifty per cent;
and 1t is given out that the proposed
policy of retrenchment has friends
among members of the legislature.
On the other hand, schemes for four
or five new counties will be urged upon
the attention of the legislature. Four
new counties are sought by eastside
constituencies. These counties will
all be small Broadwater county
would have two thousand voters and
an assessed valuation of S2170OO0
Sweet Grass county claims taxable
wealth TO the amount of two millions,
and registered voters TO the number of
five hundred Rosebud county an
nounces taxable wealth worth 81, Dos
900. Carbon county shows popula-
tion of 500 with taxable wealth
amounting to a million and half;
that is about what Valley county was
worth at the time of its creation.
For purposes of comparison the fol-
lowing valuation of a few of the coun-
ties of the state are given:
Teton county .......................s2 l2i ss7
Yellowstone county .................... I4Ol. 40
MisSoula county Observation-Disclosures. 6lS2 "a,
Deer Lodge county. Observation-Disclosures. 6lul SCI
Nascaue county ll,2ss,O5
Lewis ana Clarke county .............. 1881. 100
silver Bow county ..................... O.Jo4 293
Each new county must now be
equipped with complete roster of
officers. 1t is easy 10 figure up the
salary list, but it is difficult TO make a
guess at the total expense of running
proposed new counties: but in any
event, by the creation of several new
counties, the charge 10 the tax PAYERS
is increased by the pay roll for the
ofiice-"holding contingent" For a
part of this pay roll there is an offset
in the reduction in mileage, but those
who say that this reduction is equiya-
lent 10 the extra cost for salaried eli.
GERS make an assertion which figures
viii not sustain. In addition. there is
the ultimate cost of county buildings
TO be taken into account.
We are not arguing against the

Seoul is, YOU know. a city Of 100000 people
ami it covers about three square miles
Right in the center Of the city there is q
point whore the three business streets come
together and AT this point there is a tenn
pie about as big as a eood-sized Cowshed,
which holds the great bell. or town clock
of the capital. This bell rings the opening
and closing Of the Coreaa day. and its
knaL sounds the b,giunius ana ending Of
the days work and business. 1t is rung
just a dusk, and at this time the great
gates Of the city are closed. The stores
are supposed to shut up. and thu men TO

business establishments ct Seoul THY
are in large one ana two-story buildings
which look q good deal like granaries and
which are cut up into little bits of closets
opening out upon halls Each of these
buildings is devoted to the selling of one
kind OF goods. and the leading merchants
who deal IN them have each one of these
closets, and they squat on cushions just
outside of them, ready to bring out their
goods when the customers come. Glass is
hardly known in Corea. ana there are no
windows. ana the closet is as dark as
pocket. There is no display OF goods. and
you ask for what YOU want and the mer-
chant brings il out one Of the buildings
VIII have nothing but cottons, and there
may be nifty merchants, each owning one
of the closet-like stores within it. Another
building win contain nothing but silk, ana
others will be devoted to the selling of
hats and paper. The merchants of differ
ent classes have guilds. and they fix the
prices. Every yard if solk and every
sheet of paper sold in Seoul has to pass
through the guild and pay its taxes be-
fore it can be sold. There are six great

the controlling of its branch of trade If
a retail dealer is found with a piece of
goods which does not bear the stamp of
the guild, the guild can fine and punish
him without reference to any other tri-

look Into Corean store.
The average Corean store is not much
bigger than a dry goods box. and about
this great ball there are courts surrounded
by such stores. which open out on ledge
or porch about three feet wide, upon which
the merchants sit. A merchant could hard.
