reform everything and reduce ex-
penses but has accomplished practi-
cally nothing i'm that direction, show
ing how shallow were it's pretenses.
Thescenes during the closing hours
of the legislaturewer most disgrace
full, one member of the house. Martin
Buckley of Jefferson county, being
expelled for bribery. The debate on
the gambling bill was bitter one,
accusations and insinuations falling
thick and fast, the lie being given in
several instances. The speaker of the
house could not refrain from chipping
in, apparently being CALLED because
he had to SHOW his hand" in the
vote to follow. His remarks lead one
to believe that he was the worst
under-handed opponent the measure
had, and for his insDlent remarks
regarding the arguments used by the
press and otherfriends of the measure
he received "a rich, brown roast from
the Helena Independent.
Altogether the session was re-
markable one and came as near rank
ing with the present Legislature of
Kansas as any other Legislative body
in the Union, but i'm saying this we
co not wish to infer that there were
not good, level-headed men i'm both
| houses.
Fergus County argus., 1897-03-10

paper reading the riot act to the
obdurate and wavering members.
Representative Perrine of this county
was also active i'm behalf of the
bill and i'm getting it before the house
for vote. Representative Watkins
voted i'm the affirmative also, but the
measure was carried by a good ma
jority before his name was reached.
OF late he had been counted as an
opponent of the bill. SO, very little
value attaches to his vote.
There is no mistaking the senti-
ment of the people of Montana as
regards gambling. 1t il a breeder
of crime and vice of all kinds, and it
had to go sooner or later. Every
argument i'm favor of licensed gamb-
ling has been met and its weakness
exposed. The claim that the law
cannot be enforced is a slander upon
the officers of the law. We believe it
can and will be enforced and gamb-
ling reduced to the minimum all over
the state, particularly public gamb-
ling. If officers are vigilant and do
their duty as the law requires secret
gambling can be made deextremely haz-
ardous to offenders.
Fergus County argus., 1897-03-10

William Mckinley is now president
of the United States, the ceremonies
of the inauguration passing OFF as
smoothly as clock work, under bright
skies and amid the plaudits of thous-
ands OF patriotic citizens. The ad-
dress is just what was expected from
n full-tiedgei American: His views
on the leading questions are so well
known that il was hardly necessary
To reiterate them. He recommends
financial reforms through IA currency
commission, urges confirmation OF
the arbitration treaty, is opposed to
trusts, favors civil service reform and
the obliteration of sectional lines.
The question of international bimet-
;illism will have early and earnest
attention, and it will be his constant
endeavor to secure it by cooperation
with the other great commercial
powers of the world. Protection to-
American Industries is dwelt upon.
The voice of the people sustains his
own views and their hopes are to
be realized at the earliest possible
moment Deficits are to be checked
and languishing Industries revived.
The president is silent as to Cuba
but is stated on pretty good author
ity that he will be more friendly
to the Cuban patriots than WAS his
predecessor

The Reform Legislature.

The Montana Legislature has adj
journed and the people are thankful
for what they have escaped If not
for all that has been accomplished.
A great many bills of Populist
nature were introduced only to be
killed by the conservative majority.
Members OF both houses naturally
thought that they would disappoint
their constituency if they did not
offer from one to "A dozen bills, hence
the large number offered i'm compare
son with those that passed. AS usual
the great majority of bills We're left
until the last week if not the last
day for consideration and final dis
position, something that should not
be done. By such methods bills of
the utmost Importance to the state
are lost i'm the hurry of the closing
hours. The salary bill, for instance,
upon which much time was devoted
and which was urgently demanded,
never reached the speaker after hav-
ing passed both house and has failed

Ii Becomes a Law.

Senator Chandler's anti-gambling
bill was finally brought before the
house on the last day of the session
and passed by IA vote of fifty-six to
eleven, a number wheeling into line
who, il is believed, were secretly
working to defeat the measure. Con
sidering that n bold attempt was
made to smother the bill in commit
tee or defeat il by amendments, its
passage at the last hour in its origi-
nal form, is most gratifying.
To Senator Chandler, the father OF
the bill, great credit is due. Although
the bill introduced by him two years
ago was declared unconstitutional
owing to n defect i'm it's title, he was
not dismayed but resolved to renew
his efforts at the next session. His
bill was among the first presented in
the senate at the recent session and
had "A comparatively easy course i'm
that body. 1t went to the house
where it was delayed several weeks
by the committee having it in charge
and when il did emerge was loaded
down with amendments intended
to kill the bill or make it worthless.
The bill being strongly opposed i'm
it's amended form it was sent to the
foot of the calendar and there was
only faint hope that it would be
reached before adjournment. But
the friends of the measure were alert,
the press and public feeling were
aroused and the bill was finally taken
up under a suspension of the rules
and passed after a stormy debate.
The gambling fraternity had raised
a corruption fund to defeat the meas
ure and according to a statement of
one of the venal members, legislators
who wanted to sell out on the ques-
tion had a chance to do so. But the
scheme to defeat the measure by a
slow death did not work. A number
of members who We're willing to do
most anything in the dark were
afraid to cast n negative vote i'm the
daylight. They dare not defy public
opinion or return to their constitu-
ency with n shady record on the
question.

Independent: Thus far Martin
Buckley has been made a convenient
scapegoat. He richly deserves what
he got, and deserves greater punish
nent; for to- such as he mere eXpul-
sion from the house is no punish
ment. But il is evident that the
investigation of Buckley has not
even uncovered the stink-pool that
has been offending the nostrils of the
decent people of Montana FOR six
weeks. X will not be completely un-
covered until a grand jury gets after
some of the Pharisees who have
made practice OF rolling out such
phrases as "disgraceful tactics" ON
the floor of the house.
