Chicago, April 23.-AdOlf Kraus, re-
Gently editor of the Times, wants a
democratic paper started with $1,000,
900 capital, since the purchase of the
TimesHerald by Kohlsaat, a repub-
lican, and he offers to put in 100000
Of the capital. There are many ru-
mors about the starting of a demo
cratic paper and there is no doubt that
enc will be started soon.
1t is said that an attempt will be
made to secure democratic control of
the News Record. Whatever may be
the outcome of the attempt to commit
the Illinois democracy on the silver
question it is safe to say that both
sold and silver democrats will have
a daily in Chicago before the snow
flies.

HIC JACET BROADWATER.

The one hundred lobbyists for
Broadwater county formed a mighty
pageant last Friday as they came
trooping home bearing the corpse of
their idol on IA shutter. Thus ends a
farce which we have seen played
every season since 'S0 and which has
never been modified even enough to
give interest to the successive re-
hearsals. The legion of influential
men who labored in its behalf came
into the classic old village of Huck-
leberry fame singing the following
refrain:
so, ever thus since childhood's hour
Behold. Our fondest hope recedcs.
We did our best to segregatc
With valiant Spriggs our delegate,
But though petitions came in showers
Broadwater got it in the beads.
We take pleasure in announcing
that Broadwater county's doom has
been sealed, just the same as they
settled Cleveland's bond proposition,
the same as they hushed Queen Lii,
the same as the Japs took Wei Hal
Wei, which is the same as they fixed
John l.. Sullivan, whose mouth was
wont to make princes and potentates
of pugdom tremble in their pants.
Broadwater is dead. But like
Thompson's cat which, after its head
had been chopped off, is said to have
come home with its head in it's mouth.
and it may be looked for two years
hence seeking the tender mercies of
another legislature, and so on ad in
fin. This last makes the fourth time
the county has been killed, and the
extreme regularity of its resurrection
leads n to prophesy with seeming
truth that the people of Townsend
and Whereabouts live only to annoy

Future of Japan.

Frank P. Woodruff of Tacoma,
president of the Pacific Commercial
company, who has returned from a
business trip to Japan, says that the
country is destined to become the
greatest manufacturing country in
the world, on account of the Japan
csc ingenuity and cheap labor.
They are taking apart, scrutinizing
and learning how to make all kinds
of machinery, from electrical appar-
atus down, and are also developing
great marble and onyx mines. A
large trade can be built up between
the Pacific coast and Japan, he says,
but the shipments TO the Orients
must be chiefly of raw materials.

Benson Minn.l Times. TIL

Benson (Minn.) Times: The
printing bill, which has been passed
by both houses and signed by the
president, is found to revive the
ranking privilege with all its oppor-
tunities for the abuses which led to
its abandonment years ago. Now
the burning question is, who inserted
in the bill and provision hat "the
vice president, members and mem
b~ers-elect, delegates and delegates
elect to congress shall have the priv
elege of sending through the mails
and under their frank any mail
matter to any government official or
to any person, correspondence not
exceeding one ounce in weight, when
on official or department business"
Nobody in congress discovered this
provision, which is now operative, as
the bill is a law. 1t would be in
teresting to find why the odious
privilege has been given a new lease
of life by a democratic congress.

Jury Agrees.

The jury in the EAST of Thomas
Cleary, on trial for the murder OF
Frank Dorrity ar Helena, has agreed
on a verdict of manslaughter. The
punishment was left with the court.
The verdict of the jury seems to
meet with general appreciation. Very
few thought that Cleary would be
found guilty of murder in the first
degree. The penalty for man.
slaughter is from one to ten years in
the penitentiary and $1,000 fine; fol-
murder in the second degree, the law
imposes sentence of from ten years
to life. While for murder in the
first degree the death penalty must
be given.

that popularity among the citizens of
Neihart which it so sadly lacks.
Inasmuch as the company has al
ways been looking for a chance to
beat the town, we think the game
ought to be played on that line, and
that the town officials should shove
the lecherous institution as far as the
law will warrant and let the rule be
adopted to show the company no ia
vors. Chumps indeed are we to
have borne their arrogance even
thus far.

1t is now generally understood
that the Burlington people have
mapped out an extensive course of
extension for this railroad line in
this part of Montana, and the plans
are given out. They will extend
their line from Billings through
White Sulphur Springs and join the
Montana Midland running into Hell
ena. They will also run across the
judith country to Great Falls, where
they will make terms with the Great
Falls and Canada people to connect
with the canadian Pacific at Leth-
bridge. 1t is also given out as a
part of their plan to III a branch
line from the south into Neihart, by
which we will be given a second
railroad. This report is not without
foundation and surely the Burling-
lon is a very aggressive company,
doing much already to inspire hope
in the citizens of eastern and north
ern Montana. We earnestly trust
that all that is reported concerning
them is true.

that he may sit thereon with dignity

AFTER two years of complete and
unhampered democratic rule it is
amusingly ridiculous to read the crit
icism of the republican party by our
democratic exchanges. And what
ever the Neihart Miner claims for
consistency among republicans, pub
lie opinion wants no more of the So
called friendliness to silver p~rofessed
by democrats. And public opinion
is right.

Those Needless Questions.

On Friday a'young mar was en-
gagged in driving a cayuse to a cutter,
when suddenly, in front of the
Chronicle office, the animal stopped,
braced itself and refused to move. 1t
was gently whipped, pulled by the
bit and finally to add interest to the
scene, the animal laid down as ifpre-
waring for a long and peaceful nap.
In this however the horse was
frustrated and in a few minutes was
in the shafts again, but as obdurate
as before. Then began the volley
of needless questions and advice
from the crowd gathered around the
sleigh and horse:
"What's the matter?"
"Why don't she go?"
"Push the sleigh on her"
"Is she tired?"
"Iurn her around"
"Lead her off,"
"You'n be pulled for fast driv-
