AS Good as Solid.

The voice of the senate at Helena
was heard yesterday in a very en-
phatic expression on the question of
gambling; only one vote was cast
against the bill TO prohibit gambling.
We hear that the bill will GO through
The house with a sweeping majority;
it is said that few of the mem Oers of
the house care to win the notoriety
that would be incident to opposi-
ton to the bill Once tn rough the
house, the bill is sure of the govern
ors signature
The bill is sweeping in its prohibi-
ton of all forms of gam bling. The
suspicion is that it was made broad
under the idea that it will become a
dead-letter law and that, in the end,
open gambling houses will be quietly
tolerated. We do not believe, how
ever, that this will be the result. The
sentiment that is represented in the
action taken yesterday in the senate
is manifestly so strong that it will un-
doubleday demand the enforcement of
The law. In the end, if the house fol-
lows the senate's lead, the gambling
houses will have to 90

rather, it was the admins ration's
final play for place with its own party.
Soon the democrats are to 60 out of
power, as far as the legislative branch
of the government is concerned; yes
terday's vote was test of the esti-
mate in which the democratic admin

power was that, at the eleventh hour.
the departing majority would wish the
white house joy and give endors ement
10 its monstrous blunders.
In this the administration failed
Even the Oflicious interference of Mr..
Reed did not avail; he spoke, not for
the country, but for Mr.. Reed as a
gold-cllque candidate for the office of
president in the year 1896
1t is enough to drive Mr.. Carlisle to

any doubt about that; the po wers that

Carlisle, IN the eminent stupidity of
his policy, will sell millions of

that are the incidents of vicious legis-

your columns a few weeks ago how she
made money selling Dish Washers. l
wrote to the Iron City Dish Washer
Co.. E. E. Pittsburg, Pa, and obtained
one of their Dish Washers and tried it
myself first. It is just lovely; you can
wash and dry the dishes for a family in
two minutes, without touching your
hands to dish or putting them in hot
water. I made the first day, $500, and
everybody wanted Dish Washer just
as soon as they saw me wash their
dishes. Since then I have made as
high as $500 a day, and 1 believe that
1 can get enough money to keep my
brother in school this winter and have
money in the bank too. Any lady or
gentleman can do as well as am doing
l am sure, as I had no experience.
