That Dam Again.

As to that dam across the Missouri
river, we have come to that dreadful
season of the year when the Helena
Independent is frightened into saying:
THE danger now is that even if a dam
is built it may be controlled by mo-
nopoly as exacting as that with which
we are now compelled to deal"
There you are; we knew it all the
while The Danger to Helena's dam
is that it is likely to be controlled by
a monopoly. That is to say, this is
one danger to IIelena's dam. Another
danger is that the Missouri river will
run dry before chumps enough can be
found to monopollze the monopoly
that is spelling the Independents
Happy New Year.
A dam across the Missouri river for
industrial purposes in IIelena-when
you come to think of it, what a fool
proposition 1t is! We have Great
Falls with power on the drop of the
hat enough to wash Helena, mortgages
and all, clean across North Dakota;
with limitless stores of first-class coal
right at the door of that city into the
bargain. Or, take Livingston. At
that city's gates Is power enough to
turn the VIII ole Northwest, while close
at hand are the varied resources that
mark the place for preference as a
great manufacturing center in Mon
tana. Then there is Mlssoula. 1t has
within sight of its main street, in
either of two directions, fifty times
more power than Helena could buy:
even if Helena were out of debt and
could possibly raise the money, which
she lacks, to buy power with.
What Helena is good for is to be the
capital, run her citizens for senators
and apply for all of The petty offices in
the gift of the legislature that carry
pay. But when it comes TO power or
to the payment of debls-why not give
the people of the state a rest?

If the United States is to have a
tariff war with Europe, the farmers
of this country are the class that will
get the worst of it. The poor farmers
seem to catch it every time. The
principal exports from the United
States to Germany are agricultural
products, sue h as meat, tobacco, wheat
and the like. In Cuba this country
has found a market for good deal of
flour. Anything that curtails the mar
ket for agricultural products is bad.
The trouble with Spain may have been
exaggerated, but it is unfortunate

Congress will be at il again on
Thursday and currency schemes will
again begin to increase and multiply,
but the chances of any currency bill
becoming law are mighty slim. The
anxiety of number of members of
the house to enact some kind of finan-
cial legislation is not shared by many
of the senators Even if passed in the
house the bill will reach the senate too
late in the session to receive that
amount of attention and amendment
that the senate always feels obliged To
bestow on a measure of such import
ance. To estimate the time required
to pass a bill in the senate the time ii
took up in the house must
be multiplied at least by three.

the point is not sustained. however, he
says that inasmuch as the substitute
Will be defeated in committee of the

THE POPULAR VOTE.
Record OF the Votes Cast in 1894 for
state Officers and Congressman.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The following table contains the vote
from AZ states and the territory of Utah,
soon to become a state. The vote Is not
official, except for few states, but the
variation IN these will be very small. The
vote from Florida and Nevada is not at
hand, but they can effect the totals only
n very little, as the vote was light in both
states. The fusion vote is credited wholly
to the popullst party in Alabama and
Georgia and to the republicans in North
Carolina. If any unfairness is done in
this way it is to the republicans. In the
votes of several other states also the fig
ures do not do the republicans full Justice,
but il is not possible always to be abso-
lutely accurate where there are alliances
between two parties. The total vote, when
all the figures are in, will probably reach
ll,350,000. The following is the table:

Again the radical and conservative ele-
ments crossed po!emic swords in the Con-
gregational Monday Club.
Everlasting Torment or Everlasting De-
truction-Which? was the subject of
discussion, and Rev. +. A. Armstrong the
speaker. He said years of scriptural re-
search had led him to the conclusion that
the doctrine of eternal torment as pun
ishment for wrongdoing was reflection
upon the loving character of God.
Rev. J. W. Cruzan said it had come to be
an open question with him whether the
uncovered have the gift of eternal life.
He was an agnostic on the question.
Rev. Joseph Rowell thought the Scrip
lures taught the doctrine of eternal tor
ment and took exception TO the statement
that such a doctrine was derogatory to
divine character.
Rev. Mr.. Wvcoff said: "When a man
comes to reason he finds little difference
between universalism and the limited
atonement. | can accept the thought that
sin extinguishes the SOUL
Mrs. Cooper believed it was an immuta-
bic law that as long as there is sin there
will be suffering.
DR.. W. D. Williams thought that what
ever God did was right.
Rev. II. II. Cole was most concerned
with present problems. He could trust
God for a proper solution of eternal ones.
Rev. E. S. Williams spoke of the strong
influences of prenatal conditions and Of
environment, and thought God would deal
gently with those thus Influenced.
Elder French thought the Gospel did not
teach that Immortality is predicated in
anything but the love of God. He be-
lieved people were not born immortal.
Rev. W. H. Tubb took issue with the
speaker and said he was willing to leave
such matters in the hands of God.
