Using columns of the newspapers of
the state that is absolutely unjustifia-
BILE. The bill is a measure combining
Anthony Comstock's fanaticism and
the aims of members of the medical
profession who wish to prevent the
sale of proprietary remedies by re-
strioting the advertising of them in
newspapers, either with or without IL
Illustrations, and this purpose is covered
under the well-sounding title of an
anti-nudfty bill. Under the provisions
of the bill it would be unlawful to pub
lish any reprints of many artistic, pref
ty and innocent pictures that every
body is familiar with. and nobody finds
fault with. Even the classical pictures
of the Madonna with child, generally
presenting that child in a state of nu-
dity, would be indictable. The New
York newspapers protest that they are
capable of judging of the decency or
indecency of illustrations and they
want no restrictions and embarrassing
conditions imposed upon them.

Union Pacific conductors for a rearrange-
ment OF their time schedules was the
first matter taken up to-day by the court
OF Master in Chancery Cornish. Chief
Conductor Clark OF the order Of Rail-
road Conductors Of America, has charge
Of the case. and brought out such testi-
mony as showed that the conductors were
now working under an arrangement that
was unfair and unjust. Edward Bucking-
ham. superintendent OF car service was
called. His testimony was principally in
regard TO the time tables OF the various
divisions Of the road. Manager Dickinson
was also asked for certain information
concerning the conductors schedules. At
noon the case was closed and was taken
under adviscmcnt by the master.

HOW 1T STANDS.

The Reed boom is in a bad way. 1t
started off auspiciously-at the time
Reed was elected speaker of the house
the impression prevailed that he was
decidedly in the lead. But the speakers
boom couldn't keep up the pace and
was quickly passed by the Mckinley
boom, which seems to be steadily in
creasing it's lead every twenty-four
hours. Reeds strength appears to be
confined to New England. The silver
men in the West do not look upon him
with favor, and it is stated that he has
also offended the sound money men
who journey to st. Louis. One New
England state, 1T is reported, has,
through some of it's prominent leaders.
let IL be known there that while NOM
inally for Mr. Reed, its real choice is
Mckinley.
1t is said at Washington that a COM
bination is being formed for the pur-
pose of defeating Mckinley. Those who
are interested in 1t state that Reed will
have the New England delegation.
Morton those of New York and Florida.
Quay that of Pennsylvania, Allison
that of Iowa, and Cullom that of Illi-
nois, and that If the Davis delegation
from Minnesota will go into deal with
these and other scattering delegations.
the nomination of Mckinley may be
prevented. The Davis men are said to
look with favor upon the idea.
A poll of 200 votes was taken in Des
Moines recently and McKinley's friends
exceeded those of Allison by 200 in that
showing. one correspondent declares
that while it is needless to say that the
Iowa senator is well thought of gener-
ally the best politicians agree that, as
things are at present, his chief hope
must rest on the power of the eastern
bosses. such as Plat and Quay. so far
as can be learned. Mr. Allison person
ally is not encouraging the support OF
these gentlemen. He is more alarmed
than satisfied with the prospect OF hav.
ing IL; at least. so say some of his best
friends. He thinks that the advocacy
of Mr.. Reed by these gentlemen was a
great misfortune to the speaker. That
famous dinner at the Brunswick hotel
where Mr.. Reeds boom was supposed
TO have been practically launched. Is
still contemplated ruefully by the most
sagacious friends of the gentleman
from Maine. AS a matter of fact. there
was comparatively little political dis
cussion of Importance at that dinner
but the people generally thought Their,
was, and Mr.. Reed suffered in conse
uuence."

AN OFFICERS TESTIMONY

A horrible tale of existence was told
yesterday to Judge t. ID. Fitzgerald, who
sat in judgment upon Mrs. Sam Bonner
and Joe LeClaire, arrested for disturbing
the peace. No attorneys were present and
his honor brought out the story by con-
Quoting the examination himself.
The Bonner and Murphy families live
In the same house, No. 526 East CONNER
cial, and only a thin partition divides
their apartments. Murphy. whose first
name is John c., and his wife, were the
complaining witnesses, their story being
corroborated by officer Bosanitz.
Mrs. Bonner and LeClaire are drunk
and carousing all the time. l can't call
the place anything but a house of ILL
fame. Strange men are coming and going
there. your honor, at all times. They have
Knocked the stove over several times and

boards there. but he is there all the time
when Bonner amt at home. and, he tells
Bonner that he is rustling for a job
Mrs. Murphy brought with her to the
court her small baby, which she held on
her left arm while being sworn. She
added to what her husband had said that
Mrs. Bonner and LeClaire were a null
sance.
1--WE can't sleep night or day for them,
and when we ask them to stop they say
we are as bad as they"
The prisoners attempted to cross-exam-
Inc their accusers, but both of them, in
stead of asking questions, plunged them
selves deeper into the hands of the law by
showing a most hostile disposition.
Judge Fitzgerald gave the woman lee
ture and told her that II he had had her
arrested every time complaint was made
of her doings she would have been con-
| fined in Jail for the last three months con-
| tinuously. He then fined her SIS and costs

Helena, March 13.-After consulting
with the state veterinarian, Governor
Richards to-day issued a quarantine proc

on all rams and bucks brought into the
state. The proclamation in part is as
follows:
Whereas, I have reason to believe that
conditions exist that render the class of
sheep designated as rams or bucks, when
brought into this state. liable to convey
the disease known as scab. 1t is hereby
ordered that all rams or bucks imported
into the state of Montana from any other
state or territory of the United States
whatsoever shall be subjected to quaran-
tine for a period of 30 days upon arrival
at destination. and before being used for
breeding service. in order to determine
whether such sheep have been exposed to
the infection of scab prior to transporta-
ton. And l hereby warn and direct all
persons and companies importing the
class of sheep herein designated to give
due and full notice to the state veterin-
airy surgeon and to the county deputy
inspector oftheir arrival within the state
of Montana"

TILE DUPONT CASE.

The Dupont case occasionally gets a
hearing in THE senate between scraps
on the Cuban resolutions. The history
of Colonel Dupont's claims to seat in
the senate is well known. He Is re-
publican, and although the regularity
of his election is at least open to grave
doubt, the republicans propose to seat
him II they can, regardless of the merits
of the case. Their plan is likely to be
blocked. The Delaware vacany leaves
eighty-nine senator's, and forty-five
would be a majority of that number.
But the republicans number only forty
four. Colonel Dupont needs one more
vote and according to the present out
look he can't possibly get II.
The thirty-nine democrats will vote
solidly against him as a matter Of
party policy. The six populists say
they will also vote against him because
his presence in the senate would
strengthen the gold forces. Senator
Stewart has put the case in this fash
ion: Il do not see what the populist
party in the senate would gain by seat
/ ing Dupont in the senate. Inc repup-
leans would have forty-five, exactly
one-half of the senate, and they might
| find means of securing some one of our
little band. | have perfect confidence
in myself, and so have the other popu-
lists confidence in themselves. But hui
man nature is sometimes a little weak,
and one of us might be led up into an
exceeding high mountain by some re-
publican devil who would promise the
earth for one little vote. Oh, no, Col
onel Dupont is not necessary to our
political welfare, and we are not going
to help the republicans in their efforts
10 seat him. If II were a democratic
case we would take the same stand.
We cannot afford to help either of the
old parties. We will maintain our own
populist autonomy" That would seem
TO settle IL.

The wise men of Massachusetts, have
under consideration a plan devised by
Mayor Quincy. of Boston, to revise the
system of taxation-a plan that is at
tracing wide attention. The PROPOSE
ton is in substance this: The first
feature is that hereafter the local as
SCISSOR shall confine himself entirely to
real estate. and that the cities and
towns shall meet their expenditures
The second feature is that the state
and the state alone. shall tax personal
property. thereby relieving the cities
and towns of a large expenditure in
which they are now involved. and help
ing them TO carry the increased burden
which will at first fall upon them in re-
gard to their real estate. The third i'm
portant feature in the bin is its prop
osition to exempt from taxation capital
in manufacturing and in trade. These
are the three principles upon which il
is proposed To complete a system Of
taxation that will produce sufficient
revenue, and at the same time lend en-
enlargement 10 capital invested in
trade and TO labor employed by il.
The fault OF many reformers is that
they go too far and attempt too much.
