OUR MEN AT WASHINGTON.
Arc Popular at the National Capital and
Work Well Together

1t must be gratifying to the people
OF Montana to note how we'll the two
senators have been provided for in
committee assignments. Mr.. Mantle
has been given the cllairmanship Of
national banks, aud is also assigned
to Indian affairs, public buildings
and public grounds, education and
labor, Indian depredations, forest
reservations and mines and mining,
Senator Carter has been given the
chairmanshie Of the committee on
relations with Canada, and assigned
to the interstate commerce, public
lands, post Offices and post roads, the
improvement Of the Mississippi river
and its tributaries, and the investi-
CATION Of trespassers on Indian lands.
Your correspondent saw both OF
these gentlemen Immediately after
the caucus, and found them highly
clatcd over the positions assigned
them, indeed they seem to have Jared
remarkably we'll.
Frequent comment has been heard
that Montana is to be congratulated
upon her presentation in this con-
grcss as all OF them are active, indus
trious and enterprising gentlemen,
who are quite popular with all who
know them, and it may be safely pre-
dictcd that in the future the needs
and necessities Of Montana will re-
ccive due and proper recognition.
The people Of Montana are to be
congratulated over another fact that
has been commented upon fayorably
here, namely, the complete harmony
that exists among the members Of
the Montana delegation. Legisla-
lively speaking, this will result in
great good to the state. For without
unity Of purpose very little lcgisla-
tion can be secured. The delegation
is on the most friendly terms and has
consulted frequently upon matters Of
legislation relating to the interests

A Questionable Remedy.

"a Banker" writing to the New
York Sun concerning the presidents
project for bringing financial peace
to the country by retiring the green
backs, presents the following inquir-
les, which might be proftably con-
sldered by some Of the bankers who
are giving their approval to- that
scheme:
'Whcn the grcenbacks have been
retired, what then? What kind OF
lawful money will be-: available for
the rs per cent. reserve fund OF the
banks? Gold! ...-... U.s..
"1n what kind Of legal tender mon
ey shall the national bank notes be
redecmable? Gold! *
"Wherc will the. gold come from to
settle the international balance Of
trade? From the banks!
"Thcn what will become Of the
gold reserve Of the banks? and what
will then become OF the banks when
their gold reserve is cxhaustcdo
And how will the suspension Of spe.
Gle payments by the banks effect the
public mind?
''Thcre is now about. 5000, 900, 900
gold in the country available for the
Is per cent. lawful reserve, and more
than S400, 900, 600 is needed. Where
shall the banks get all the gold
from?
"lhcsc arc pertinent questions
which our Don QuXote and his faith
ful Squire have not grapplcd with"
10 relieve the treasury from the
obligation to pay out gold, would be,
inevitably, to transfer to the banks
the whole Of the demand for gold.
In the first place, such transfer
could not possibly inspire the public
mind with greater confidence in the
certainty Of gold payments, because,
in the second place, it would not add
another ounce to the available stock
OF gold. ln'thc absence OF enough
gold to'mcct the urgent demand for
the metal, the probobe result would
be to force the banks. within a brief
period, to suspend specie payments.

What do They Want,

Since the organization of the re-
public there never has been time
when vituperation Of president
ever came from his own party in such
unstinted measure as that which is
being poured upon the devoted head
Of Grover Cleveland from the vials Of
wrath of the democratic,p press. Yet
what on earth does the party want
for. whom Cleveland has stood spon-
sor for twelve years, and who for the
first eight was it's idol? Has not the
president put in force the doctrine Of
free trade so far as he could, for
which express purpose he was called
to the chair, as we were told, to re-
form the "evils" Of McKinleyism.
and is he not obeying the plain die
tates Of the party leaders in his
course on the money question? Did
not the democratic party in the last
congress bear him out in It? The
democratic party have had the execu-
tive and legislative branches Of gov
ernmcnt for three years-what more
do they want?
The facts are that the free trade
theory has looked we'll when viewed

Robbers Feat the Races,

San Francisco, Dec. 25.-Three
masked robbers held up a Mission
street car from the 1nglcsidc track
tonight and robbed Richard Clark, an
employe of the Pacific Coast Jockey
club, Of the receipts Of the day, said
to aggregate $4,000. Clark and two
other men were shot by the robbers,
but it is believed none of the wounds
will prove fatal, although Clark will
lose one Of his legs.
The car had just left the race
track wheil four men. heavily masked
and armed with WincI!cstcrs, iumpcd
on the rear platform as the car slow

Speaks Well OF Montana.

At Swedish celebration in Chic
ago recently Col. Charles II. Gould Of
this state, responded to the toast Of
"Westward Hop He said in part:
"Thc porpoise Of steam is trcading
upon the tail OF the old stage coach.
The west has been a chapter of
history, mystery and romance. Since
Columbus sailed in search of west
crn hemisphere the cry of every man
has been westward Ho! For a
time after the close Of the civil war
the star of empire went into Il par
tial eclipse. The protector OF the
west was the star Of the empire, and
manhood was the sterling quality OF
Il living God. They swept up the
valley OF the Yellowstone; they
charged up the side OF the western
mountains and lanced the yellow
veins Of gold and silver; they showed
the iron bands into the towering
slopes and valleys Of California. I
was one Of that great crowd Of men
who caught the strain of Westward
Ho!' and have aided, in small
way, in mastering two states into
the Union. Major Maginnis, an ora
tor Of the northwest, once said that
the Missouri river was too thick to
drink and too thin to plow. Iaugh-
ter.) Montana pays an annual trib-
ute on value Of $2S,000,0 900. In
1881 the Northern Pacific forced her
iron bands over the mountains, and
in 1889, In the presence of great fin
ancicrs, the golden spike was driven
that belted the American continent
and brought us in touch with Ply
mouth Rock. Our mines CLEAN with
gems as bright as ever cleaned in
the diadem Of any queen. Our hills
send to your market hundreds of car
loads OF cattle and mutton, until
they are ashamed to look a sheep in
the face. The mills Of the GODS
grind slowly, but out in Montana we
have come to believe that some one
has borrowed the mills Of tho gods to
grind down the products Of the
plains. We will be glad to welcome
you out in Montana, but be careful
before you come and hnnt up that
mill, that our cowboys may receive
living wages"

Christmas ball was given last night

OF Hawaii. former protegcs of the
dcposcd queen, were engaged, the
entire organization being still strand

one Of the players became deathlv
Ill and complained Of chronic heart
trouble. He was carried out and
found to be starving. All were in a
similar condition but too proud to
beg. Wealthy people made up 4

Social Life Of a Church.


We should understand that 8
wholesome social life in church
does not involve an ob]iteration of
all that divides men and women in to
groups outside tho church, writes
Mrs. Lyman Abbott in Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t does moan the oblitera-
tion of some of those lines. Except
while under the power Of an absorb
ing interest, degrees of intellectual
cultivation, tastes, habits make COM
panionship agreeable Or disagreea-
BILE. So while mon and women of
diverse characteristics may work to-
gether happily under tho stress of
pressing need, may sing together the
same hymns, may join in tho samo
prayers, they may not at all agree in
minor matters of daily living, and
therefore constant intercourse would
not be desirable
A friendly feeling expressed in
word and decd does not mako it nee
essary that Fishin Jimmy, noblo
Christian though he be, should in
vite Mr.. Gladstone to visit him nor
require that Mr.. Gladstone should
ask Queen Victoria to invite Fishin
Jimmy to one OF her state dinners.
Lady Aberdeen has proved to US that
there is a possible fellowship in the
home which transcends both intel
lectual and social distinctions with
out obliterating them. And the
church should exomplify the same
truth.

Some years ago in Worcester,
Mass, says The Gazette Of that city,
when Chinese laundrios were a new
thing, man went to a Chinese
laundry with some shirts, and think
ing that he could only be understood
in 'pidgin' English opened the con-
versatlon as follows: Hello,
John! You washoe washee this

payee you, eh2"
To which the Chinese laundry
man replied as follows: "Oh, yes ::
I will wash it. On what day would
you like it back?"

GENTLE BROWN SNAKES.
live In Summer In bitches and Creek
and Devour Small Fish.

1.-Two In summer In bitches and Creeks
AID Devour Small Fish.
It is hard for the average man Or
woman to believe that any species
Of the snake family would ever
make attractive and interesting pets
So strong is our hereditary hatred
OF serpents that many sensitive per
sons even dislike to read of them or
their habits. Yet it is true that the
venomous and ugly kinds are in the
minority and that several species arc
absolutely harmless and worry gentle.
No better example of tho latter
sort need be cited than the brown
snake-"De Kay's little brown
snake, as it is moro strictly known.
While not so common q variety as
the true garter snakes, which namo
is applied by the average individual
TO about five Or six separate varie-
ties, yet they may be found in their
favorite haunts all through tho
spring, summer and part of tho fall
in Connecticut, New Jersey and New
York.
The muddy bitches, shallow creeks
and spring brooks arc the chosen
abiding places Of the brown snakes
III the early months. One of the
first species to leave winter quarters,
they may always be found summing
on fat stones or dry logs by the
creek side in April. They aro graco-
full in every movement and quicker
than thought. When once they de-
eide to devour small frog or an
aquatic insect it is the surest and
swiftost sort of death to the victim.
Initiating their larger brethren, tho
real water moccasins, these midgets
are fast, fearless swimmors and
spend much of their time in pursu,
ing small fish. They catch a mar
velous mum ber Of clubs and sinners.
When the crisp nights and dawns
of Septem ber come, the little brown
snakes take to the uplands In sun
ny, coZy corners and hollows carpet
ed with dry leaves they may bo
found sleepi]y baslzing as late as
tho ond of October. Tho cooler
weather seems to drive them from
their damp retreats. While on the
high ground they feed on tree toads,
slugs and insects of many sorts. To
secure one or two of these beautiful
reptiles is not easy, but may be ac-
complished with long handled,
light net, q quick eye and ready
hand.
Kept in a roo1ny box with glass
sides, good sized pool and bed of
dry leaves, with some growing plants
and moss, and placed where warm,
generous flood Of sunlight can bathe
tho box and its contents nearly all
day, the brown snake will bo con
tented. He will learn to know his
keeper, to take his food from the
1atter's fingers and will teach him
many ways and habits of snakes not
to be learned from books. Now

Livingston, Dec. 26.-The coal
camp Of Horr, As miles south Of this
city, was the scene of a fatal shoot
ing affray at 1 O'Clock this afternoon.
The parties to the tragedy were Girls.
Anderson and Jack Tracy, who, in
company with their mistresses occu
pied a house jointly. When the
men went home to dinner they had
Il falling out over the women and en-
gagged in hand to-hand conflict.
Tracy knocked Anderson down when
the later grabbed a big iron poker
and dealt Tracy terrible blow over
the head. With the blood streaming
from the wound, Tracy rushed out of
doors and down to Vandyke's but
cher shop where he procured six
shooter, and FASTENED back to kill
Anderson. Arriving at the house he
kicked in the door and commenced
shooting. Anderson fell, fatally
wounded, having been shot twice,
once ilr the groin and once in the
right leg. At last accounts the in
jurcd man was still alive, but he is
unconscious and cannot recover.
Sheriff Young received a telegram
this evening from Deputy Sheriff
Bellar Of Gardiner stating that he
had Tracy under arrest. The pris-
oncr will be brought to Livingston

In hunter 8 lore there ia an idea
that the jackal is the lions provid-

takes the lion to it. This supersti-

has slain his quarry the jaokals al
