that direction.

With the Cracks

| Popular Charlie Wells, an old Califor-
I mia tavorite, is at last rounding into
orm in the national circuit and running
| close to Bald and Cooper in all hard
| fought open events. He seems to be win
| ming his handicaps with great regularity.
The Syracuse quad will be in attend
ance at the national meet here, Novem-
ber 21-23, and with the Stearns friplet
will furnish all the pacing for the open
events.
The Columbia and Stearns teams will
spend the winter at San Jose after the
conclusion of the circuit. and not at Pas
adena, as has cen foretold. The Syra-
cuss team will put in the season at Riv-
erside or Santa Monica ana other teams
will scatter to different parts of the state.
The famous Morgan IL Wright team will
probably rustcnte at Santa Monica. and
all the aegregations will make savage
onslaughts on Father Time.
California tracks will probably hold
about every record that can be made.
At last 'old mud horse Billy Hamil-
ton of Denver has got that much coveted
gotiated the distance in 200 2-5, clear
cut of exactly seven seconds. off the for
mer record held by Barnett. The record
will probably stand, and Hamilton will
capture that 5000 bar of gold bullion
offered by Morgan g. Wright of Chicago

Barnett thinks he can place the hour
record at thirty miles. Linton. the Eng
lish professional, says that he knows tha,
he can do the same thing, and Tom Eek
declares that Johnny Johnson will do the
trick. Now, gentlemen, who Will do it
first?
H. E. McCrea, who has been unwell
since his brilliant performance at Salt
Lake. has got back into shape and will
Join his team mates at San Francisco
during the present month ana COMPLETE
the circuit with them. Fritz Lacy, who
was engaged as MCreas running mate,
has left the Syracuse and is now bestrid-
ing the Dayton.
Whitman's running of the Glass mile
opsn at Santa Monica on Sunday was a
popua. one. He is an unlucky rider, but
this time he caught the tandem and
showed a pace that W hard for the 9TH
ers to hold. His nearest compel tor when
he crossed the tape was over 100 ards be-
hind.
Herb McCrea got the srst f.ll at Santa
Monica on Saturday. Up to this time he
had never fallen from his wheel either
in training or in race, a record that is
rarely possessed By Il bicycle .ider during
three years of hard WORK.

The last week Ehas been a busy one in

have attracted a great deal Of attention,
though nothing like the furore that the
mighty Slkwood caused last year. More
over, mis- defeat was anticipated by m any
and apparently mourned by none. Lack
Of condition was undoubtedly the chief
cause of his succumbing so easily.
At Santa Monica the bicycle races ne Id

Where MONOPOLY Fails.

Yesterdays London dispatch an
nounced that the failure of the Can
adian Pacific Railroad company to
declare dividend on common stock
caused big drop in the value of that
company's shares. 1t is most re-
markable that the stock of that COM
pany does not take a higher range on
the exchanges of New York and Lon
don than it does There was never a
railroad built which received more
liberal donations of public money than
the Canadian Pacific. Canada's gov
eminent, under the manipulation of
shrewd political tricksters, took from
the dominion treasury the money
which constructed the road from
Smiths Falls in the province of Ontario
to its western terminus in British
Columbia. 1t was an expensive road
to build for the most part; the Free
dom with which the confederated
provinces paid top-notch prices for
every spike and every tie was not con-
ducive to economy in the work of con-
struction; Onderdonk and his fellow
contractors made millions out of their
contract.
After building the road the Cana
dian statesmen practically made a gift
of it to a few rich gentlemen who
were not at all in need of a donation
or who, on the grounds of public service,
were not entitled TO such handsome
recognition. But the Canadians did
more than build the road and give it
away;t they granted to the Canadian Pa
cilic company many millions of the
choicest lands in the queens north
western possessions, and, as a far
Their proof of gratitude to the men
who took the road off the country's
hands, they were granted an absolute
monopoly for twenty years of the rail-
road business through which the Ca
madam Pacific runs. One of the re-
markable provisions of the charter
under which the road was constructed
is contained in a clause which pro-
hibits the construction of any parallel
line of railroad for twenty years. The
farmer at Indian Head must pay to
the c. 7. II. more for the freight on
a pillow than the plow originally costs
in Toronto. In instances he pays to
the monopoly as high as twelve cents
a mild while riding in its cars
The Canadian Pacific people have
things pretty much their own way in
the dominion; it is singular that the
stock of the road should bring less than
fifty cents on the dollar in the bond
markets of the world. 1t is a poor
tribute to the condition of commerce
in Canada.

If Europe calls a conference for
the discussion of the silver question,
this country may be represented under
the plan which was favorably reported
in the senate yesterday. The propo-
sition is that there shall be nine COM
missioners for the United States
three to be named by the president,
three senators to be named by the SEN
ate, and three house members to be
named by the house. Probably it
would be better were the senate and
house at liberty to go outside their
own membership in the selection of
delegates. However, it is likely that
good men will be named, and, if only
the conference is called, there will be
no particular quarrel with the senates

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY q. 1895.
Through the House.

Most of the members of the house
at Helena "got up on the band
wagon" as they expressed it, when the
gambling bill came up for for its third
reading. The vote was forty-eight to
four for the final passage of the bill
as amended since it came from the
senate. There was no doubt whatever
as to the victory of this bill; those
who stood out to the last were
prompted undoubtedly by laudable
motives, but there were not many of
these people.
1t may be that brace games or back
room dives will be features of the fu-
ture, but every community has right
to assume that it can defend itself
against these. 1t is notorious that in
states where laws against gambling
are on the statute books there is more
or less of gambling going on. At the
same time, the restraint imposed by
law has its effect in reducing by very
large percentage the number of per-
sons who frequent gambling rooms.
Gambling is bad business-there
isn't any argument on that PROPOSE
ton. 1t is pretty safe assertion that,
especially in the large payroll cities of
the state, the number of patrons of
private or secret rooms will be not
one-third of the number of those
whose habit it has been to patronize
licensed establishments That will be
a good change.

It's a Bad system.

Recent events in Butte business cir
cles and in other commercial centers
of this state have indicated the ex-
treme necessity of change in the law
in the matter of attachments and the
prevailing method of collecting debts
Under the law as it obtains in Mon
tana 1t is possible for even the strong
est financial institutions to be greatly
injured, if not absolutely ruined, by a
spiteful or malicious application of
the law. A merchant, doing a good
business, owning his own stock of
goods and owing but the few small
debts incident TO even a business con-
Quoted upon cash basis may have his
credit ruined and his property disposed
of at a ruinous sacrifice because, ow-
ing TO a dispute over some trivial ac-
count, an attachment issues against
him. 1t is not sufficient that the party
at whose instance the attachment
issues gives an indemnifying bond;
the bond simply protects the officers in
the matter of costs; it in no measure
protects the man whose credit is seri-
ously affected by the suit and the fact
lnal MS property is under attachment
The STANDARDS understanding of
a recent decision by one of the district
judges of Silver Bow is that the bonds
men in an attachment suit are not
liable for damage done the credit of
the defendant even in instances where
the attachment proves illegal. This
emphasizes the necessity of change
in the law in such matters At least
proof of the justice Of a claim should
be made before attachment issues.
The commercial life of q community
should not be at the mercy of men who
seek an opportunity TO strangle IT,
Doubtless a change IN the law relating
TO attachment would require a better
system Of regulations governing the
matter OF making assignments. Here,
too, the statutes are very faulty; the

He's Not the rlan.

The report is that Gen. James b.
Weaver is in Washington trying to
arrange things for the organization of
a silver party. Any movement of the
sort with Weaver in the leadership
will be sure to prove a fizzle
As the organizer or promoter of un-
successful campaigning, General
Weaver takes the first prize; he is al
ways looking up job in politics for
Weaver. He started out as a repub-
lican office-holder. He ran for presi-
dent on a granger-greenback Labor
aggregation ticket in 1880 lie got
into congress under greenb ack-d demo-
cratic fusion. He was the candidate
of the populist party for the Office of
president in 1892. He campaigned
the West in company with a terma-
CANT from Kansas, denouncing men
who are his betters and pretending to
be sincere in his advocacy of lot of
vagaries.
Two years later General Weaver
was a candidate on a democratic
ticket in Iowa. He was defeated, and
now he wants the populist party's es-
pecial tenets set aside and a straight
silver party organized with Weaver to
the fore, Of course. 1t may be that
there will be a silver party. But if it
comes and has strength 1t will not be
under the guidance of political
ton chasers.
