Japanese at the lodging house on
Merchant street opposite Spreckels'
warehouse. The place is a rendez-

Unfair to the State Press.

There is a bill before the legislature
at Helena which seems to have in
view, first, the creation of new three.
thousand-dollars-a-year Office and, in
the second place, big jobs of printing
and advertising for the exclusive bene-
fit of the newspapers in Helena The
bill provides for the creating of a de-
partment of insurance, with a super
lntendent and the usual parapher-
malta.
1t is doubtful whether the legisla-
ture will pass this bill-there is no
pressing demand for it, and the policy
OF both houses has been to curtail
commissions, departments and bu-
reaus. The bill provides for large
amount of publications, taking care to
order that, in every instance, the Hell
ena newspapers shall get the work.
1t may be well enough TO order
printed the financial statements of in
surance companies doing business in
Montana, but it certainly should be
the privilege of the companies to print
their statements in Montana newspa-
pers of their own choosing. There is
no good reason in the world why a
law should make a discrimination in
favor of any Helena newspaper,
especially when the state has other
newspapers of much larger circula-
ton than any in Helena.
The attempt to push through the
legislature measures that carry a lot
of printing or advertising, naming tho
Helena newspapers as the publishers.
is grossly unjust to the balance of the
press of the state.

They Like to Get Out.

There have been no less than twenty
nine changes in the membership of
the house Of representatives of the
Fifty-third congress since its members
were elected. This house does not
seem in any degree popular with the
major portion OF the gentlemen who
compose it. The dislike of eleven of
the members has been so great that
they have died TO get out of it. Three
others were more highly favored by
fortune and were removed by election
contests. Probably every one of them
is thankful that he escaped the oppro-
brlum which attaches itself to men,
bership in this great do-nothing con-
gress.
The other changes have resulted
from designations, the cause of which
is in every instance the election or ap-
pointment of the resigning member to
some more honorable position. Oates
and OFerrall were elected govern ors
of Alabama and Virginia respectively.
Brawley of South Carolina, and Payn-
ter of Kentucky, have been chosen
judges in their state courts Fellows
was elected district attorney of New
York and Black was appointed dis
trict attorney for the northern district
of Illinois. Six members have been
selected by their state legislatures to
represent their commonwealth in the
senate-Mitchell of Wisconsin, Lodge
of Massachusetts, Blanchard of LouIsi-
ana, Wilson of Washington, Burrows
of Michigan, and Gear of Iowa.
{. r. Breckenridge has been sent
TO Russia as ambassador and Caldwell
Of Ohio, has been elected mayor of
Cincinnati The remainder of the
members who resigned have done so 10
accept some other office, elective or
appolntive.
1t is said that this large number of
changes is without precedent an the
history of the house. 1t Will be noted
that the members are not at all par
ticular as TO what office they receive.

Anything goes. from mayor to am
bassador, if it only furnishes an ex-
cuse for reslgning from the house.
And when the history of this congress
is written, there will be added 10 the
long list of its characteristics that it
was so very bad that its members re-
signed whenever an opportunity pre-
sented itself.

A New Jag Cure.

No less eminent an authority than
Bishop Potter of New York is re-
sponsble for the statement that the
free lunch is responsible for most of
tine intemperance IN this country. The
right reverend gentleman goes still
further and states his opinion TO be
that the only way TO stop intemper-
ance is to open cheap and good res
taurants in the cities. This scheme
has found practical supper .ers in Chi
cago, where a "home saloon" has been
opened TO put stop to the evil of
drink.

They Are Enemies.

Senator Hill and Representative
Reed" says the Chicago Times, twill
find il rather difficult to resume their
former position on the fence between
monometallism and bimetallism.
Reed was pushed off by Bryan. Hill
tumbled off of his own accord"
There is no doubt respecting these
two men; the friends of silver have a
right to be afraid of them-the differ
ence between them is that Reed is a
little more frank about his views than
Hill is. Reed and Mckinley managed
the fight in 1890 when free coinage
was killed in the house of representa-
tves.
The Boston HerdldS Washington
correspondent wrote to his paper, last
week, that, in congress, the friends of
silver have no thought of counting on
Senator Hill, they look upon him as
the covert foe of free coinage. The
strange part of it is that, on an issue
of such Importance, Senator Hill
should presume 20 hoodwlnk any por-
ton OF the public; at least, such con-
duct would be strange in any man ex-
cept a political trimmer, and that is
what Mr.. Hill is.
Silver manages to keep right to the
'front.' We are glad oft Every time
the administration goes to congress
with gold scheme, the advocates of
free coinage knock it out and get in
good work for the cause. There is
education for the masses in the East
through this process 1t was Presi-
dent Cleveland's opinion that his
extra-session effort would end the talk
about silver for good and all. lie said
in his proclamation for the session
that he wanted TO have the silver talk
stop. lie had his extra session, the
majority did his bidding; and silver
has since been talked about more than
ever

r1r. PIatt's Bad Year.

Armed with the authority, conferred
by recent acts of the legislature, Mayor
Strong, of New York City, is making
Mr.. Tom P.att very tired Under the
ower-of-removal bill, the mayor has
at his disposal scores of appointments
TO membership in the various NUM-
cipal boards. Some of the offices are
very fat, most of them are highly
priced places
Mr.. Platt fretted more and more as
Mayor Strong announced his selec-
tions. lie named four members of
the civil-service commission, nomin-
ating men in every instance who have
never travelled with the PIatt crowd.
Every republican thus far appointed
to Office is either a new man in politics
or an outspoken foe of Mr. Platt
The TIcga statesman kept quiet for
a time, but the appointment OF Brook
field to be commissioner of public
works was too much for Platt lie
talked loud and strong. He asserted
that, in the presence of witnesses, the
mayor promised him that this best of
all the offices should not go to an
enemy. Brooktield was candidate for
the craftsmanship of the county COM
mittee-he was defeated by Lauter-
bach of the Platt gang.
Mayor Strong denies that he ever
made the statement which Mr. Plat
charges on him or that he ever said
anything like it. And Mr.. Platt is
now to be heard from. Anti-Platt re-
publicans are in power in New York
city and it is clear that they do not
intend to give Mr. Platt any sort of
show
