their means of livelihood. Such men
are found in every judicial district 1t
may well be doubted whether the best
quality of justice can be obtained
from jurors of this class. 1t is certain
that the best citizens are reluctant to
serve on juries, but it will be no bur-
den to require them to serve once each
year and no more. This provision
would at once dispose of the profess
sional juror.
1t is a question whether it would
not be better to require citizens to
serve as jurymen without compensa-
ton, thus doing away altogether with
the idea of employment This, how
ever, would make jury service i'm
possible to workingmen who depend
on each days work for the support
of their families, and would make
the juries open only to the well-to -do.
There should be compensation for jury
service, but some means should be de-
vised, like the plan suggested, to pre-
vent jury service from becoming a
means of livelihood.

the lowest quotation known. The total
gross earnings for the calendar year, 1894,
were more unfavorable than for many
years. The earnings of ia leading
American lines, with 1900 miles of road,
amount to S47s,OOO,OOO, IL per cent. less
than in 1893. The best available data with
respect to the size of domestic wheat
crops in 1893 and 1894, together with sup
plies in sight at various dates, quantities
planted and exported and consumed by
animals in 1894, together with Bradstreefs
report of stocks out of farmers hands,
make IT plain that total wheat supply in
the United States on Jan. 1, 1895, was 49,
100000 bushel smaller than one year pre-
viously and that the stock back of the
available supply was fully "a, 0oO, 900 BUSH

SMALLPOX TO THE RESCUE.

The Scourge Accompanies What the
Authorities Had Failed TO DO.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Aid from unexpected
sources has como to the Indiana authori-
ties who have for two months been rack
ing their brains as to the best method of
closing and keeping closed the race track
at Roby, Ind. An epidemic of smallpox
has broken out there and there is n wild
scramble among the stablemen and
jockeys TO reach a healthful locality. A
census being taken, it was found that
seven mon from the Roby track, all with
smallpox in its worst form, had been
brought to the pest house within the past
three days. The Chicago authorities were
powerless TO move against the plague
spot, as it was under the jurisdiction of
the Indiana board of health.

From the utterances of the goldbug
newspapers which represent st. Paul
one would conclude that there is no
silver sentiment in that city. A recent
issue of the Pioneer Press contains as
an advertisement a resolution of the
board of trade of ST. Paul favoring
free coinage. The paper evidently
would not publish the action of the
board of trade as news, but required
that the resolution be paid for In
ST. Paul as we'll as in Portland, Ore
gon, there is a silver sentiment, al
though neither city has a silver paper
to give voice to that sentiment.

The West Still Gaining.

| The total number of votes cast in
Montana last fall for congressman
was 1882. The total number of votes
cast in 1892 in this state for president
was 4i3l5. The gain in the number
of voters in Montana in two years is
therefore 1867. As a general rule the
vote cast in "off" years is much below
the vote in presidential years, and in
most states last Novemb Der there was
big decrease in the vote over two years
ago. In New York state the vote fell
off 10000; in Ohio, S6,OOO; in Pennsyl-
vania, $1,000; in Iowa, 2I,0JO; in
Kansas, $4,000. In Idaho there was a
gain of nearly 5000 in the vote: in
Wyoming a gain of $500; in Colorado
a gain of 81, 900; in Arizona a gain of
1000; in Nebraska a gain of 1000; in
New Mexico gain of 1000; in Oregon
a gain of 5000: in California gain of
10000; in South Dakota gain of 5000:
in Utah gain of 5000 In nearly all
hawestern states there was a gain in
the vote in spite of the fact that it
was an off year, and in spite of the
depression the West has experienced
WI OAHA AAip ilAbl-SllNtl ltklSldllOU.
The large gain in Colorado is partly
accounted for by woman suffrage.
The only western states where the
vote of 1894 was less than the vote of
1892 were Nevada, where there was a
loss of 300, and North Dakota, where
there was loss of 1000
The vote of 1894 shows that the
West is growing in spite of all that is
done against it by the East. What
would be the magnificent gain in the
West had there been no sectional leg
islation?
1t may also be gathered from the
figures given that the West is much
more independent in its voting than
is the East. In the East the man dis
satisfied with his party's course usually
expresses his disapproval 10y staying at
home. In the West he votes the other
ticket

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 11.-It is learned
that L. 5. Gardner & Son of Sanderville,
Tenn, have relinquished their control of
the foreign betting privilege of various
tracks of the country to the Western
Union Telegraph company. Tho Gard
ners have for over decade had absolute
control of the foreign betting privileges on
all western race tracks. They supplied all
the pool rooms and foreign books in
America with the official betting from
every track on the western circuit.
Naturally, with this monopoly, the profits
on the business have been enormous and,
for that reason, racing men do not believe

This decision should settle the question

THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST
SATURDAY. JANUARY 10. 1895.
Mr.. Carter Named.

Eleven ballots, at the caucus of re-
publicans held last night in Helena,
settled il. In the beginning, Mr.. Car.
ter scored twenty-five votes. Colonel
Sanders had fourteen. Commodore
Power had fifteen. Carter gained from
start to finish; on the eleventh round
he had thirty votes, with thirteen for
Power and eight for Sanders. There
were fifty-seven republicans present
and voting. Twenty-Five votes were
necessary to a choice. Mr. Carter
polled them. Evidently, he didn't
have very much trouble about it, and
his name, associated with the name
of Mr.. Mantle, will 60 to the joint
session, next Tuesday, for confrma-
ton. The business of the joint session
is formal affair; the two gentlemen
who are the outcome of the republican
caucus will undoubtedly get cordial
endorsement and then, respecting SEN
ators, Montana will have in form what
the state already knows in fact.
1t is republican choice; this news
papers hope is that joy may go with
1t, and benefit for Montana Notor-
ously, the STANDARD, hitherto, has
not been able to travel with Mr.. Car
ter; our conviction has been that.
without half trying, he might have
been less for Carter and more for Mon
tana, with immeasurable benefit to
the state.
Nevertheless, as the able-b bodied &C.
cupant of the white house would say,
condition confronts us. What Mon
tana needs is two men in the federal
senate who will be absolutely true to
Montana. Our friends in the republican
ranks have declared that Mantle and
Carter are the men. That decree is
accepted by the STANDARD; and may
the event prove that the choice is wor-
thily made!
Taking him all in all, Mr.. Carter was
one of the most offensive foes Ana
conda had to face in the capital fight
there isn't any doubt on that score:
at any rate, that's what they think in
Helena. Let us assume that he was
an effective foe; this newspaper is al.
ways ready TO make its salutations to
any man who, in a fight, makes his
force felt.
Mr.. Carter has wide acquaintance
with men who figure in national poll
tics To use the phrase of the street,
he knew how 10 "catch on" lie is
with the clique that expects to see ex.
Speaker Reed nominated for the office
of president in the summer months of
next year, and if he makes killing"
there isn't much harm about il.
Only, Mr. Carter will have to
satisfy Montana, first of all, that he is

If he wants to win the friendship of

The Actors Protective union is pre-
pairing bill TO be introduced in con-
gress providing that the $4,000 actors
of the United States may vote in any
place they chance to be on election
day. At present they are practically
disfranchised, unless they chance on
election day to be in the city they
claim as a residence Their proposi-
tion involves an amendment TO the
constitution of the United States
which would have to be approved by
the legislatures of the various states.
If this privilege is granted to actors it
should also be granted TO commercial
travellers and tourists generally. and
soon tramps would be demanding of
the government a travelling voting
card. To be deprived of the privilege
of voting is hardship, but it is DIM.
cult to see how the hardship can be
remedied without danger of abusing
the safeguard which now prevents the
importation of large bodies of voters
into doubtful states.

oppressed.
Chicago is a particularly sensitive
city TO talk like that which Waite
gives Anarchy is gaining ground
there yearly, and now anarchistic
speeches are made in that city with
almost as much freedom as was the
case prior to the Haymarket outrage.
Men like Waite, in search of notori-
ETY., are the real causes of disasters
like the one which blackened Chi
cago's history few years ago. The
men who sow the seeds escape, and
those who attempt to put their theo-
ries into practice suffer the punish
ment which is proper for all offenders
of the law.
Governor Waite announces that
during his trip he will make a special
study of socialistic innovations, and
on his return will run for president on
the popullst ticket Governor Waite
has already done more to injure the
populist party than any other man,
Governor Llewellyn not excepted. 1t
is the history of reform movements
and reform parties, started undoubt-
edly with honest purpose, that they
must suffer from extremists who do
incalculable injury to a cause that
may be good. Conservative people
confound cause with the character
