If there ever was are-faced,
bald headed and warranted ex-
hibition of partizanship it was
shown in the seating of certain
senators from few OF the odd
numbered counties at the organ,
iZatiou of the Mon tana state senate.
1t amounts to an amending of the
constitution by resolution some
thing unheard in a civilized c. n
munity. 1t is pacing party above
principle and setting a premium
on wrong doing SO long as it favors
the right party. The senate's
action is in direct contradiction
with the stand taken by that body
two years ago and just how the
matter can be viewed in a different
light at later day IS something
that needs explanation at the
hands of the sagely gentlemen
whose minds rotate once in two
years. The people of Montana
want 70 more of this amending by
resolution. Tt is too course to be
genuine and looks as il the mems
bers had stultified themselves and
permitted hatred OF opposition to
way more in the scale than the
right of the people Valley county

Speaking of ;he suspension of
the Merchants National Bank in
that city the Helena Independent
says.
The closing of the Merchants Ma
tional bank is not only to be de-
plored because Of its business con-
nections but because of the high
standing in the community of Mr..
L. H. Hershdeld, the president and
manager, The only agreeable
feature of the suspension is that no
wrong can be imputed to the
president or other officers, and we
are heartily glad that this can be
said with truth. We hope that
conditions will justify an early
resumption of the business of the
bank.

The newspapers of the state are
just beginning to find out that the
recent trouble at Shelby was not
nearly so bad as at first pictured,
and that the Columbia opera com

affair was bad enough, and the
boys should not have acted in such
boistrous manner, in the pres ence
of women, the reports fron, there
by the opera company have been

The Monthly Wool Price Current

market there.
An accurate estimate of the
situation as compared with month
ago is a little difficult to form as
there are signs of healthy activity
especially in the home trade of
this country. while undoubtedly
there must be grounds for the ex>
preston of disappointment in
many quarters, that the anticipa-
tons of better business INDUCED in
towards The close of last year have
not been realised. The easy value
of the leading raw materials is how.

HOBAB'S SERMON.

The following sermon was de-
livered by Rev. HObab Crinkleroot
at the first reunion Of the Boilers,
which was held IN the village OF
Flogtown, the county seat of Ten
Ton county, which is in the -nuni-
verse of the state of Montana.
The text was taken from the
fourth chapter of Jonah's dialogue
with the whale.
Text-Verily, I say unto you,
the whale had something in it's
throat that could not enter its
belly, and it was sick unto death.
The elite of Frogtown were
O. thered in the spacious lodge of
the grand sachem to listen to the
eloquent divine, who has a state
vide reputation. Long years Of
service on the classic banks of
Birch creek had especially fitted
him to labor for tie welfare of the
iu mortal souls of the 'Siwashes, "
The presiding elder, in a few
well~chosen words, announced that
the Rev. Hobab would deliver his
Grafton.
While the choir sang "Blest be
the Tie that Binds our Hearts in
Christian Love-" Rev. Hobob
combed his flowing beard, brushed
speck Of dirt from the lapel of
his coat, cleared his throat, and
prepared to do battle with the
devil. AS the last notes Of the
powerful basso profundo died in
solemn stiffness of the night, Rev.
Hobab stepped to the front and
thus delivered hin self:
He said that he had labored as a
missionary among the Plegans
and that the issue roll at the
Blackfoot agency would show that
he was not altogether idle.
He explained that while differen'
authorities held different views as
to the best way Of civiizing the
Indian, he was confident that his
method, when thoroughly under,
stood, would meet with general
approval.
Through his efforts many very
profitable and elevating trades haG
been taught the noble red man ant

performance walked the streets dis

fully twelve miles from the theater
where they had been earlier in the

neither having the courage to drink.
Finally the girl drank half OF II and as
soon AZ she felt the effects OF the acid
she begged young Heath not To drink

relief. She died within a few hours,
however. Heath said that he intended
to drink his portion Of the poison. but
the sight OF the girls agony was too
much for him.

won't have TO work unless no wants
to when he goes back to private life.
The fortune TINT he has accumulated
since he came to Washington nearly
twelve years ago IL yariously es-
tlmated. Some put 1t at tho modest
figure Of 100000. while others, his
popullstic enemies, say that 1t amounts
TO $5,000.000 or $6,00O.000 Probably
tho most correct estimate would show
that MIR. Cleveland is worth about
81 100000. The nation has been gem
erous with him, he Inns been economical
without being parsimoulous and he
took advantage OF his opportunities
when he was out OF office with the
prestige OF having been president. II
has been said that when MIR. Cleye-
land came TO Washington, In 1885. to
begin his first term M chief executive
Of the nation, he did not possess more
than $4,000 or $4,000 at the outside.

president the nation paid him 5000, 900

city adopted resolution requesting
the legislature to pass an act authoriz-
