Nothing herein said or re;ited Is to
be considered as turning to just any
affection that overtakes the chief mag
sstrate of Montana. but really Cover
nor Richards ought to have been soon
err; he ought to have followed close
on the heels of President Cleveland
with his Thanksgiving proclamation.
The news from Helena Is that the gov
ernor is suffering from an attack Of
erysipelas. which is severe enough to
confine him to his home. Now, how
can any man visited with that miser-
able afiiction write a Thanksgiving
proclamation and throw his whole
heart into an exhortation to the people
TO rejoice?

Sill IN fine R;na.

DIR. Parkhurst rs a man of hopeful
turn of mind. Standing in the presence
of last weeks defeat. he declares that
nothing has occurred ITO discourage his
hopes or dampen his ardor or obscure
the end toward which he is laboring.
Reform came out of the election bait
tile badly bruised. but II Is idle to as
sumo that it has been knocked out.
There, is no doubt that DR.. Parkhurst
has plenty Of grit: no one fancies that
1t is his intention to surrender. He
is hammering away as OF old at the
opposition-he says that those who
helped Tammany ITO victory encouraged
''the most thoroughly organized band
of political cutthroats the civilized
world has ever known"
Assuming this to be true. that opin-
ion is Immensely uncomplimentary to
the tens of thousands of voters I'M New
York city who helped to put Tammany
on its feet again: some OF them must bt
reputable people. And there must bt

foreheads with bullets-the country
can spare all cheap demagogues OF that
stripe. The public is quick TO perceive
when there is merit in any organized
movement that is in the nature OF
strike. That is. we think, especially
true of the public in Montana where
all classes in the larger communities
are brought into very close relations;
and neither labor nor the larger public
In this region has the slightest dispo-
sition to fall in for a strike under the
leadership OF any man who happens to
come along preaching disturbance.
There was merit in some OF the
strikes that have occurred in these
parts; but all classes of people in our
communities know that strike is not
a thing to be entered into at random
at snybody's call and as lightly as If II
were a midsummer picnic.

FOR MISS I. F.'S ALBUM.

II YOU love me as I love you,
No knife could cut our love In two;
Not even though that envious blade
OF rare Toledo stuff were made;
Not though it's handle lay within
The grasp of mighty Saladin;
/ should not heed; its feeble shock
Would fall as on a fiinty rock,
And its attack would simply be
A trfiing incident to me.
It could not cut our love In two,
IL you loved me as l love you!
Nor could the mighty cyclones wrath.
That levels cities in its path,
IJproots whole forests. mows the grain,
And burrows up the stubborn plain
IL could not cause me to repine
II only your true love were mine;
ia bid the boisterous breezes blow,
Knowing as only i should know,
They could not rend our love in two
II you loved me as love you.
And II a Herr Professor came
/ hint no hint, name no name;
What II he came from over sea
And fiddled as can only he,
ANTIQUE sonatas by the score.
Etudes and apuses galore,
And other tunes from foreign lands
One likes but seldom understands.
The tweedledees and tweedledums,
We always get when Thomas comes;
We'd let him fiddle; all his art,
Could never fiddle us apart.

II you loved me as / love you!
If-ah. that 'if' stands in the way,
| And SO I've nothing more to say.

A speedy menticulture cure
| For him who would not wall boo-hoo

Trims to Come.

Having made the measurements OF
the size of election-day triumpns ana
defeats, the newspapers up and down
the land are inquiring what will come
of 1t all. Many of the foremost demo-
cratic newspapers realize that the
party was hit very hard last week.
some of them express views that are
not inspiriting when they take next
years politics into consideration.
That the republican party has itself
well entrenched is admitted; the fruits
of last Tuesdays victory will be of &C
count for years to come. Take reckon
ing, for instance. of the federal senate.
When on the first Monday OF next
month that body meets, its member
ship will include thirty-nine demo-
Gratis, forty-two republicans. six popu-
Iists-one of Delaware's senatorships
being a vacancy. When the next presi-
dent is inaugurated, Senator Villas
must yield to a Wisconsin republican;
Mr.. Hill will enthusiastically be sue
ceeded by a republican; Kentucky's
democratic supremacy ends; or, at
least, 1t will be long enough under sus-
pense to let a republican get one oil
Kentucky's seats in the senate. MT
Gibson, Maryland democrat, must ster
out; the presumption is that a repub-
iican will succeed Senator Palmer. oil
Illinois. Other changes are In sight
the republicans will have a majority

fifth congress; they have an over
whelming majority OF the house of rep
resentatives in the F.fty-fourth.
staunch democratic newspapers In
the East lay the blame for democratic
decadence on the fact that so large al

This Country's Army.

The report of General Miles reveals
him as an advocate of large military
opera tions under federal authority. His
theory is that, however promising the
signs of abiding peace may be. this
country ought to have a military equip
ment which would always find us pre-
pared for the remote contingency of
war.
Our seacoast stretches along. not de-
Tended in its thousands of miles. our
harbors are exposed. our northern
boundary is an open highway for an
enemy, the conquest of some of our
chief seaport cities could be made in
twenty minutes. We have. at points
along the coast a few alleged defenses.
which, however, are in the nature OF
harmless military relics; we have an
army of twenty-five thousand men;
its principal business in recent
times has been to keep the Indians
quiet. General Miles would have an
army of from thirty to sixty thousand
men, and he would fortify our exposed
coasts.
| What good would there be in an ar
my of that size? II this country pro-
poses to hold itself prepared for war.
/ Il must do as the nations do that keep
themselves on a war footing; 1t must
build UP a vast military establishment.

states TO hold in readiness even a

II Is Imnortant.

The exclusive publication in yester-
days Standard of the decision OF the
supreme court in the Niagara-Black
Rock case resulted in a brisk demand
for extra copies of yesterdays edition.
Lawyers and men who have money
invested in mines are deeply interested
On the decision; 1t touches question
of cardinal Importance in its relation
TO mining properties throughout the
Northwest.
The opinion printed yesterday is In
line with the decision formerly rem
dered by the Montana supreme court
in the Amy and Silversmith case.
That decision found great favor with
the public that engages in mining. and
it was warmly commended by lawyers
throughout the Northwest who are
skilled in the law relating to mines and
mining. The misfortune is that this
decision was reversed by the supreme
court of the United States. However
In a case which, since that decision
has gone to Washington on appeal
the hint thrown out by the supreme
court was that the whole subjec'
might reasonably be gone over again
AT least, enough was said to warran

Ii Is Off.

Yesterdays news from North Da-
kota was TO the effect that the insti-
gators Of the proposed Great Northern
strike give 1t up. In talking about the
movement one of these men said that
"some one blundered."
There isn't a doubt in the world on
that score-those who tried to start a
strike for which there was no call are
the people who biundered. The scheme
was to get up a hurrah, spoil a few
engines, burn a few bridges and stir
up the employees along the line OF the
road. That scheme didn't work; 1t was
as clear as possible that the rail-
road men had no notion OF enlisting
for a strike-that is true at least OF all
this section OF country.
The only disturbance OF account was
at Kalispell where property was des-
troyed at the prompting OF an indi-
vidual who wants 10 be a leader and
who. in a talk at Spokane. let the
world know that he had about made
mn his mind that the ballot has had III
day and that II is time TO resort t'
arms.

mark. organized labor has no sort o
