The millennium. IL the words OF Reve-
lations are TO be literally applied, Is
the period of a thousand years, during
which Satan shall be bound and right
eousness reign triumphant in the world.
Not many among mankind are calcu-
lating on its early coming. They are
wisest who serve faithfully in the
sphere to which II has pleased God 20
call them; they are most blessed. as IL
seems to us, who reverently recognize
the loving fatherhood of the Almighty:
they are the most useful men and women
who so regulate their conduct that they
have faith to look forward with a feel
ing Of awe that is not dread toward a
higher life for those who honor the op-
portunities which this life affords
them.
Thus It happens that the date fixed
for Rome's blowing up or for the COM
ing in Of the millennium. does not
deeply concern many of us. However.
If itsadvent is so near at hand, II would
please us were Mr.. Streator able TO
have Satan bound before the time for
the meeting of the next legislature of
Montana; then there wouldn't be any
more buying Of new counties. and a
mass of kindred deviltry would be at
an end.
We find ourselves inclined to linger
over that portion of Mr.. Streator's pre-
diction which concerns the Jews. He
foresees their speedy supremacy; ap-
parently the day of their dominion is
at hand. They are. indeed. the Bibles
chosen children, and their zenith is just
ahead of them. IL Mr.. Streator has the
right OF 1t. That means much. To say
nothing of the impending social and
financial revolution. think of the poll
tics involved in the change. What of
Brother Richards, whom the Methodist
Episcopal church has brought up to
believe that the good shall eat the fat
of the land and get the offices? What
of Carter's hopes or Nantes dreams
or Mayor Thompson's chief of police
where will these be. say in 1901? Let
Mr.. Streators fancy-or his faith. IL

the governors chair: Sam Schwab. OF
the city OF Helena, the states chief
justice; Nose Morris. OF the city of
Helena, chief of the money changers in
the department Of the treasury; Aaron
Hershfield. of the city of Helena, to
the end that his brain may not be too
sorely taxed-in the office of public adj
ministrator. They can all get elected.
anyhow, because. when the millennium
comes, one shall chase a thousand and
two shall put ten thousand to flight;
Anaconda could have got the capital II
she had waited till the millennium to
run. And when the shine begins TO
wear off OF the millennium there'n be
something for Al Pincus of Butte. and
for 81 Marks. also of Butte. and our own
own Davy Cohen of Anaconda. These
must wait. OF course, till Helena is
cared for. but. then. allies hat seine

The rest of us will plod along our
little way; we will buy and sell and
get gain-for the masters of the mill
ennium. Most OF us can meet our fate
without care-yet not all OF us. Butte
will still be the greatest mining camp
