relied upon to reverse the judgment.
The supreme SQUIRT holds that the de-

the wife of one w. ID. Curtis. Curtis, in
his lifetime, and while plaintiff was his
wife, conveyed a tract of land to one
Michael Carr. Carr afterward conveyed
q part of it to Hirschfield as trustee. The
plaintiff did not join in the deed from
Curtis to Carr. She brings this suit for
dover in this land.
Curtis before dying made a will by the
terms of which he bequeathed nearly all
of his property to the plaintiff. She cleo
ted to receive and did receive the provis-
ions made for her by the will, instead of
taking under the law. She now claims
that she is entitled to dover, in the land
conveyed by Curtis without her joining,
and that by accepting under the will she
is not barred from claiming dover in the
land concerned.
The supreme court holds that by elect

her right of dover. in the land aliened by
Curtis in his life time, in the conveyance
she did not join. Judgment of the lower
court affirmed. Opinion by Pemberton.

liant, VS.. II. E. w. Patton and Mary L.
Patton; appeal from Silver Bow. This
was suit to determine the ownership OF
certain moneys in the hands of Fraser d
Co., garnshees, under an attachment and
execution against T. L. W. Patten, Mary
f. Patten claiming to own in her own
right the money. Her claim to the money
was on account of the money she had
loaned to and the debts paid for her hus-
band. The plaintiff in this case claimed
that Mrs. Patterns title to the money is
fraudulent, principally because of the re-
lation OF husband and wife existing be-
| tween the defendants. The court below
found that there was no fraud in Mrs.
Patterns claim and rendered judgment in
her favor. The supreme court aftirms the
Judgment. Opinion by Dewitt.

The Way to Settle IL.

The question raised yesterday morn
ing in this newspaper was whether the
lecture of the Rev. Mr.. II )llins. of
Butte, was original with himself or with
DIR. Bristol. Mr.. Rollins said to a
STANDARD reporter, last night, that
the "royal seizure" of thought is zap
proved by the most advanced lights in
our church"
Royal seizure" is good-it is fit to
live; IL sounds original, but we never
before heard it called by that name.
We really do not know what "royal
seizure" is. But this we say-either DIR.
Bristol or Mr.. Rollins is an exposed
plagiarist; and neither the discipline
nor The administration of the Metho-
dist church approves anything of the
sort-we think we know what we are
talking about. The parallels printed
yesterday are, in this instance, a strik-
ing illustration of literary petty lar
ceny; and there isn't anything meaner
on top of the ground.
Mr.. Rollins insults the economy and
he infers that the fathers in the church
would condone the piracy exposed
yesterday. 1t will not do to imply that
the bish ops or the general conference
pardon anything of the sort. Mr..
Rollins knows better; SO does the
STANDARD.
Whatever backing Mr.. Rollins may
have with the trustees of his church,
is none of our affair. What we had
hoped to learn was that Mr. Rollins
could establish priority over DR.. Bris-
tol. If he is not able TO do that, he is
in fact first-class plagiarlst The
Methodist Episcopal church tolerates
nothing of the sort; and we offer to
join Mr.. Rollins in submitting the
lecture, the STANDARDS parallel and
the lecturers own roundabout refer
ence to the "most advanced lights in
our church," to Bishops Hurst, An
drews, Foss, Warren and N.nde,
or TO any two of them,
or to Bishop Vincent and any other
bishops Mr.. Rollins may name. If he
admits that Dr. Bristol was ahead of
him in point of time, then we offer
the proposition that these bishops will
say that Mr.. Rollins is guilty of con-
duct unworthy of minister in the
Methodist Episcopal connection. We
offer to join the gentlemen in the in

1t must indeed have been an I'M

funerals for the elite; if that duty ever

Speaking for Montana.

In Chicago, on his way TO Washing
ton, Senator Mantle gave it to them
very straight He was interviewed by
a reporter, and in the course of his
talk he said: II will add one more
vote, at least, to the opposition to
President Cleveland's gold bond
scheme, and do my part in strengthen
ing the cause of silver. Up in Mon
tana 'l6 to L is the cry. 1t is in our
platforms, and we are all elected to
carry out that idea. We believe silver
is money, naturally so, constitution
ally so, and we believe that the ills
that have upset the financial, CONNER
cial and industrial interests of this
country during the past four years are
the logical outcome of the legislation
of 1873. which practically demonetized
silver"
That is the sort of senatorial talk
that suits the people out in these
parts; and they don't care so very
much whether the man who does the
talking and holds the office is repub-
lican or democrat, bond or free.
This state is for the free coinage of
silver. That is with Montana the car
dinal issue and no other issue out
ranks or even rivals it.

A Pointer to Eggl eston.

Senator Eggleston, of Deer Lod sc
county, is made the victim of the Hell
ena Herald'S spite because, in effect,
he refused to vote for an appropria-
ton for a capitol building, or capitol
grounds, or whatever else it may be
that the bankrupt city of Helena is
trying to turn into money.
We congratulate Senator Eggleston.
He helped to make Anaconda's fight
for the capital; he helped handsomely.
lie remembers that, during the con-
test, Anaconda always figured that the
Helena Herald was one of this city's
best helpers-it was so insanely bad as
Helena organ.
Were the Helena Herald to speak
in praise of Senator Eggleston, the
public in Montana would conclude
that he must be a monumental
chump. If the SENATOR can persuade
the Herald to abuse him, everybody
in Montana will conclude that he is a
pretty white man, fit to figure in the
senate of Montana.

How Sentiment Runs.

The press dispatches beat the TOM
toms in behalf of silyer's enemies.
Many of the bankers and boards of
trade in the East are burdening the
wires with appeals to members of con-
gress to stand by the president; repub-
lIcans as well as democrats are APP
pealed to, and especial effort is made
TO impress the country with the large
number of these communications.
Free coinage lacks friends in the
East-there is no doubt on that score
In many eastern constituencies the
masses are yet without the light
needed to give them right views on
the silver question. The cause of free
coinage is almost friendless to-day in
several of the most important states
east of Illinois, for the reason that
the two sides 10 the question have
never yet been presented and dis
cussed in those states
Just the same, silver's side has made
important gains of practical kind
within two years In a sense, these
gains may be measured by the make
up Of congress. No trustworthy
canvass of the house of representa-
tiyes has been made, but the run of
sentiment in the senate has been
pretty accurately ascertained. Free

populists voted against repeal, the
vote all told being forty three for re-
peal and thirty-two against 1t.
All accounts agree that the condi-
tions have changed. Last week the as
soclated press sent out news to the
effect that several senators had made
a careful canvass, with the result that
free silver claims forty-seven senators
with thirty-nine senators in the oppo-
sition. This estimate left Mr.. Clark,
of Wyoming, and Mr.. Wilson, of
Washington, to be heard from. There
is no doubt that the Wyoming senator
is for silver; for present purposes the
attitude of Mr.. Wilson is not of &C
count-he could be spared. The esti-
mate is worth reprinting. These are
the names:
