Great Falls, April 24-John A. 1 ar
gent, ex-city attorney. called at the
Standard Office tonight with the fol-
lowing letter:
To the Editor of the Standard:
am not surprised at the result IF the
suit of the city OF Great Falls VS.. j. II.
Mcknight ct al, to recover on ex- City
Treasurer Elliott's bond. AS is well
known, City Treasurer Elliott received
more than $4,000 during his term of
office and the most of this money was
deposited in suspended banks when he
was drowned. All of this sum was ac-
counted for in 1894. exc spt about SIS Geo.
and this shortage has 5oe1 lowered
since TO SIG, The complaint uD.'n
which the last suit was brought or
based charged him with oniy having
received $4,000 and alleges that he
fraudulently converted the same ID his
own use by depositing Il in the bank
which subsequently became insolveut
This is an untenable proposition Of law
for the reason that the statutes requir-
ed the city treasurer TO deposit the
funds in banks. My complaint, or the
one / drew when serving as city attor-
ney of Great Falls. followed the condi-
ton Of the bond, which required the
city treasurer 10 account Tor and turn

News and FIction.

A great deal is constantly said about
the enterprise of the newspapers in Sc
curing information from all quarters of
the globe, and a good deal of the COM
mendation which this enterprise re-
ceives is deserved. But what readers of
the newspapers crave to-day is not so
much news as truth. They are weary
of reading columns of telegraphic re-
ports and then finding the next morn
ing that their time has been wasted on
a tissue of Misrepresentation, or of ac-
tual fiction. A proportion of the So
called newspapers is mainly fabrica-
ton. 1t Is manufactured on a basis of
fact so slender that searching exam
ination often fails to reveal 1t. Very
often II is made out of whole cloth. In
this matter, as in the expression of edi-
torial opinion, there Is a lamentable
lack of sense of responsibility among
many American editors. Not long ago,
when there was a real tension of feel
ing between this country and Great
Britain, the report was started that the
flying squadron was to visit American
waters, and this in turn was followed
by the report that Great Britain was
negotiating for the purchase of Cuba.
Both reports were gravely spread out,
with startling headlines. AS a matter
of fact. they were unqualified lies. They
were deliberately manufactured for the
purpose of filling newspaper columns
with something sensational. These re-
ports were no sooner printed than they
were denied, and this sort of thing has
now gone on so long that newspaper
readers are becoming skeptical of ev-
erything they read. The most intelli-
gent of them no longer believe any
thing in the way of a news statement
until il has been confirmed. They have
been misled too often. In the long run
this kind of humbug is as bad from a
business point of view as every other
kind of humbug. 1t reacts In the hard
ened credulity of the reader, and de-
feats itself by destroying the very pos
sibility of excitement which the news
paper editor wishes to produce. The
matter is not worthy of discussion from
the ethical side, for the element of dis
honesty in II is too evident to need any,
thing more than plain characterization.
What does need enforcement in order
to reach a good many of the men who
SOW falsehood broadcast as II IL were
truth, Is the fact that II is very bad
policy Nothing pays a newspaper bet
ter than to establish a tradition for
truthfulness; nothing harms II more
in the long run than to create the i'm
preston of untrustworthiness. There
are great opportunities in this direction
at the present moment.-The Outlook.

About Clerks.

In the consideration of ways of working
by merchants one of the most vital is
that of help. How to engage help so as to
reap the largest results is a serious ques-
ton. The question Of how much shall I
pay and to whom shall l pay it. disturbs
the larger number Of retailers. And IL Is
right that this should be so. But how
much shall l pay Smith and how much
Jones? II your help numbers even four or
FIVE, this matter is worthy Of your best
thought. You ought TO engage your help
on the competitive plan. You ought to
watch closely for talent and draw IL out
by placing responsibility on its shoulders.
And that clerk who is shouldering re-
sponsibility should be paid more than the
clerk whose work is TO sweep. keep stock
or attend TO the less important trade

CAM IDATES s.
Newspapers of the North Refer to the
Extraordinary Crop

Extraordinary Crop
Great Falls, April 24.-Referring to the
healthy crop of candidates for county
offices this year. the River Press says:
1T is learned from the Lewistown Ar
gus that the crop of aspirants for polit-
ical honors in Fergus county is unusually
large this season. Our contemporary
makes a review of the situation and dis
covers that there are six candidates for
the position of clerk of the district court,
IL aspirants for membership on the board
of county commissioners, and two or
more candidates for most of the offices
to be filled at the next general election.
From current rumor II would appear
that Choteau county will make a show
ing in this respect fully equal IL not SUI
perior to that of our neighbors in Fergus
county. 1t is said that from Whitlash to
the Valley county line, and from the in
ternational boundary to the southern ex-
tremities of Choteau county, the hills.
valleys and bench lands warm with cam
didates for office. The nominating con-
vention is about four months distant,
but even at this early date the public is
being informed that there will be no lack
of good, sound official timber from which
its official employees can be selected.
This Is a most fortunate although
somewhat unexpected state of affairs 1t
was alleged at one time that reduction
in official salaries would make II difficult
to find incumbents for the several offices,
but a contrary result has transpired. Ev-
cry able and reputable citizen of Choteau
county has a perfect right to aspire to
any office within the gift of the people,
and those so inclined are fully justified
i'm making their wishes known. Choteau
county is full of citizens qualified in ev-
cry way to satisfactorily I'LL the several
official positions. and II is to be regretted
that they cannot all be nominated and
elected"

VEEDERSBURG, Ind, Oct. 31.-Hon. W.
D. Bynum, of indianapolis. spoke for the
gold Democrats of this county yesterday
at the new opera house. Every available
seat in the building was occupied. and
nothing occurred 10 mar the pleasure Of
the occasion until Mr.. Bynum saw an op-
p0rtunity TO spring joke upon his former
Democratic friends. They resented the
story with jeers and Kisses and cheers for
Bryan. They kept interrupti1g the speaker
until he became Disguised with their in
reference. and from that time until the
close OF his address the people Of this vi
cinity never heard such scathing denTncia-
tions uttered by any one. 1t was not the
intention OF MIR. Bynum 10 say enc Harsh
word. but when free speech was denied him
thrusts in venOmOus words were hurled to

was a precOncertcd affair. Before tbs time

quoting from Eynum'S speech made in Col
orado were circulated all over town. Just

houses were Respondent with tn red, white
and blue to-day and both parties cele-
brated flag day. Before the afternoon was
half gone the Democrats started riot on
the public square and such a scene has not
been witnessed in this city before. The
Democrats had been very bitter all day,
and when the Republican flag parade be-
gan the silverites blocked two sides OF the
public square. They were provided with
heavy hickory canes. The free-for-all fight
was a terrible affair. Numbers of persons
were injured and some OF them seriously.
Sheriff Strdhan. Marshal Stout and their
deputies worked hard to avert trouble. In
their endeavOrs to preserve the peace Sher-
IN StrahanS son was knocked down and
the Sheriffn himself only only escaped
similar fate by knocking the ASSISTANTS
right and left Finally the streets were
partially cleared in a measure, when the
flag parade was permitted to pass until
the Womens Mckinley Club came, when
the street was again closed TO prevent their
passage. Quickly there was backward
rush of the paraders and u serious con-
fiict was averted.. In the forenoon the
Democrats had full possession of the streets
and conducted their street parade without
being interfered with in any way. The
Democrats have hurt their cause by their
conduct here to-day.
