Northern Steamship Company.

The Northern Steamship line is an
important link in the Great Northern
transcontinentai system. 1t gives direct
connection between Duluth, Superior,
The 500. Mackinac Island. Detroit.
Cleveland, Buffalo and the east. practi-
cally extending the Great Northern TO
within 400 miles of the Atlantic sea-
board. During the season Of 1895 there
are two magnificent stccl-built steam
ships in service. the North Land having
been added for duty this year, to run
reverse trips with the North West.
There is nothing finer in the way of ac-
commodations to be found on any ship
atloat. These steamships make almost
railway time in the delightful trips be
tween Duluth and Buffalo. 1t was

year that traffic would come NAMELY

tage of its service and %patronized it 10
an extensive and gratifying degree.
Merchants and others who have an east
ern trip in view can make prompt and
speedy time by the Lake route and en-
JOY the while one of the finest fresh wa
ter journeys in the country on one of the
worlds finest ships.
The North West leaves Duluth on
Mondays and the North Land on Fri
days at 3 p. M, after the arrival of the
eartern Minnesota train from St. Paul
and Minneapolis. These ships are so
regular in their movements that in the
trip of 1000 miles from Duluth to Buff
falo there is little variation in schedule
time in arriving and departing at the
different ports. 1t is an ideal trip and
no one should 90 east and back without
using the lake route one way at least.

AT THE SPRINGS.
From the News:

From the News:
Suit was filed this week in the district
clerks office by Jonathan McAssey
against Martin Barrett and others, for
the foreclosure of ,a mortgage of $ $1,000,
on the Equator lode. The attorneys for
the plaintiff are N. c. Bainum and Rich-
ard Bennett.
Thos. II. Campbell, druggist at Nel

trip on Sunday from That place to White
Sulphur Springs on their wheels, arriv-
ing here in time for dinner. They left
here again in the afternoon for Neihart,
arriving there safe in the evening.
There is a large fire in the mountains
southwest of here. The fire started on
Sixteen Mile creek from some of the
grading camps there and at noon Fri
day has spread as far as the halfway
house on the Townsend road, and was
running toward Black Butte. A num-

The Russian Thistle.

The ravage of the Russian thistle in
Great Falls is attracting interest in all
the surroundiryeountry. 1t seems that
this destructive plant had taken a beau
tiful start before anyone knew its name
and history. Investigation has shown
that it has spread over the town and
surrounding fields so thoroughly as to
root out every other plant, aver the
strong native grasses giving way to its
pesky encroachments.
AL Crockett brought up "a large stalk
of this plant last Wednesday which he
has placed on exhibition at this office.
Its botanical name is "Salsola Kalistra-
gus 1t is innocent enough in appear
ance, and with the habits of other weeds
would not cause the slightest notice.
Given full sway it will cover a township
in two years, and nothing else will try
to grow in the same field with it. The
government and private land owners
have spent millions of dollars in various
sections for its eradication. To pillow it
under is only to cultivate it.
The HERALD especially invites its
readers to come and examine this trouble
some plant. 1t is well that everybody
should know it at sight. Mr.. Crockett
desires us to state that he has left a sam
pie of the same at the railroad station in
Monarch, and also at a prominent place
in Belt. The state law imposes a heavy
fine upon any one who permits it to grow
upon his premises.
The discovery Of the pest is accrcdit-
able to the careful observation of Judge
W. B. Burleigh who noticed that it was
growing fat and frolicsome in the lawns
and meadows where a carpet of grass is
preferable. His forcthought led him to
send a sprig of it to Mr.. Morton, the far
mel Of the administration, who immed-
lately told Mr.. Burlcigh what he had to
contend with.

LOTS OF BLOOD SHED.
But on Account of the High Standing
of Some That Were Implicated,
Mum Is the Word,

The HERALD in its last issue casually
referred to a wee bit of a brawl. and Il
gun play which occurred in the ''bad
lands" of Neihart, Thursday night. The
statement by later findings has proved
to be true. The case happened Mt Il GER
tain place of low reputc, known by the
rather suggestive title of the .Bucket of
Blood and for once in its history the
lame scarcely did justice to the house.
Two shots were fired, by a person un-
known to the writer. A bullet broke a
mirror, and another left an aperture in
the floor. Parties who paid Il business
trip there next day assert that blood had
lam in pools and generous spatterdashes
upon the carpet and bed. The carpet
was taken up, and the house cleaned; and
it is currently rumored that those who
enjoyed the scrap, for the sake of mutual
love and harmony, intend buying a new
carpet for the place.
There is evidence of undue alarm on
the part of certain members of swell So
ciety lest the truth may come to light.
But a lingering suspicion attaches to the
event, and it was even suggested that
some one had been foully dealt with.
After patient inquiry the reporter, ex-
cept as to a few general details is as
much as ever in the dark.
Whence could have come so much
blood is a mystery, and the case ought to
be investigated. 1t cuts no ice what a
mans standing in the communicable
peculiar shape or size should offer no
ground for the concealment of such trag-
ic performances. If, as some have re-
marked, it was only a tisticuff encounter,
whose sequel was II bloody nose or two,
the public gives little concern; for by an
established hygienic law, it is good that
ones nose should occasionally bleed a
little to cleanse the system, sweeten the
breath and purify the air. But a gun
shot, Il mirror broken, and floor and
walls perforated with bullets are not the
regular marks of civilization. The HER
AID has the names of all said to have
been engaged in the melee, but desires
not for the present to publish them.
IIUNCH: Don't let 1t occur again.

Frank McPartlan, better known as
"Pony,' an Old time prosrcctor, was
drowned in lake Mcdonald, August 18th.
PONY was the first justice Of the peace
at Maiden in the palmy days of that

out justice will long be remembered by
the old timers Of that community. He
was recorder of Ruby gulch, in this vici-

in Maiden an o~bstreperous cowboy was

evidence was heard PONY assumed in

It will be we'll for the man who ex-
poets to sail smoothly into the matri-
monial port to continue those fattering
attentions after his engagement which
preceded 1t. It will not suffice for him
to talk of what he is saving to make
their little home worthy Of her. He
must, by some magic, be able both to
save money for the future and to pro-
vide her with the flowers, books, bon
bons, theater tickets and other trihes
which he bestowed upon her when there
was no future to be taken into consider
alton.
He must treat her people with defer.
ence, cordially and flial affection. He
must let her complain of ali their faults,
retail all the family quarrels and point
out all the family imperfections with
out ever allowing the knowledge he &C.
quires thus to tinge his behavior. He
must listen to her abuse Of them with
sympathy and never by any chance show
anything but the highest regard for
them himself.
He must like all her friends He
must treat "the girls with the init
macy which never borders on familiar
ity; must enjoy their society, which
will be thrust upon him at all times
and places, and at the same time must
be prepared to agree with her estimate
of their shortcomings. It will be just as
we'll for him never to admire them too
extravagantly.
In public he must always be prepared
to show her the attention she needs, but
must also be prepared to let her "have
= good time" unhampered by his devo-
tion. For instance, he must never let
her sit out dance alone, yet he must
never glover when she seems to be
dancing often with other men. His man.
ner must be a perfect mingling Of devo>
ton and noninterference.
incidentally it may be added that an
occasional dose of neglect is wholesome,
and that semioccasional quarrel is not
to be despised. Times

That DespOt. the Editor.

The despotism of editors is not so ar
bitrary as it used to be. My memory
does not go back to the fear in which
the quarterly, $50 savage and slaugh-
terly," used to be held. One would
have supposed it took it's name from it's
quartering as we'll as executing it's vic
Tins. In my time nobody cared much for
the attacks Of the heavier reviews, partly
perhaps because they were generally be-
lated and did not bear down upon au-
thors until their regulations had been es-
tablished, but the power Of the weekly
organs Of literature was still considera-
BILE. The then editor of The Athen8um,
Hepworth Dixon, was greatly feared by
the small fry Of literature and not
much liked by the large fry.
# is we'll known that Thackeray had
objections to his daughter becoming an
authoress, from the apprehension Of
what Dixon might write Of her work. l
remember as young man. when speak
ing rather gushingly of the kindness I
had received from editors in Dickens
presence, he observed with droll look
that he concluded I had not yet made
the acquaintance Of Hepworth Dixon.
! had met him, however, at dinner and
had had rather humorous experience
Of him.
l was sitting next to great eastern
scholar, who had told me quite as much
as wanted to hear Of Assyria and was
still going on, when he was suddenly
interrupted by the host, who, in a tone
Of conc1liatory reproof, observed: 'Pro.
lessor so-and-so, silence if you please.
Mr Hepworth Dixon is about to say
something" forget what he said, but
the rout Of the Assyrian was complete
and amused me neutrality-suspicious.

direct Legislation"

1t must be becaus congress is SO bad
and the state legislature are often SO
corrupt that tho cry tor direct legisla-
ton 'of the people, by the people and
for the people" is rising higher anu
higher. There is strong movement in
it's favor in New Jersey, where the old
race track ring was charged with own
inga legislature body and homes. The
New Jersey legislature itself felt the
stigma attached'to it SO keenly that an
act establishing direct legislation came
within three votes of becoming law. In
Is states of the Union bills to this effect
have been or will soon be introduced.
Direct legislation is, in brief, law
making by the body of the people 1T
large instead of solely by their legisla-
lures. The machinery by which it is pro-
posed to work the direct legislation is
that of the referendum and the initis.
tive. That is to say, legislatures will
not at present be abolished, according
to the scheme of the reformers. But
when law is passed it will not become
actual law for 80 days. During that
time, if as many as, say, s per cent of
the voters at large sign petition asking
it to be referred to the whole people,
then it must be so referred, and the
people of the state vote on it. If there
is majority agains it, even though the
legislators passed it unanimously, it
cannot become law. The people have
spoken direct. Again, suppose the mass
OF the voters want q given law passed,
they apply the initiative method. If a
certain per cent of them petition for this
law, it must be acted on by the legisla-
ture before any other measure is taken
up. The general assembly can do as it
likes about eracting the law, but if it is
not passed in that body the referendum
takes effect, and the whole people vote
on it themselves. If majority are in
favor, it becomes law, though every
state legislator be against it. The
direct legislation method would be par
ticularly available in municipal govern
ment. Already it is in operation in
this country when state constitutions are
adopted or amended.
Direct legislation, then, consists of
two parts-the referendum and the in
ltiative. By the referendum the people
have final vote on law the Legislature
has already passed. By the initiative
they force by petition the legislature to
act on a proposed measure which they
themselves can afterward make into
law if the general assembly refuses to
do so.
