One Train That Contained 1000 Men
and 100 Dogs.

There is now trailing across the state
from east and west some of the motliest
crowds of men that crossed a CONT
nent. 1t is the crusade to the <londike
that is now on i'll 8 earnest In few
months the movement will be reversed and
thousands of the crusaders who now have
money will be working their way back
home again without any, but rlcn iii ex-
perience.
Every westbound Northern Pacific ex-
pres sthat passes through Helena is loaded
down with klondikers. Yesterday there
were fourteen coaches on No l, the west
bound train. which pulled in about on
time. Nine coaches make an ordinary and
heavy train but the rush great
that five additional Coaches had been at
tached to the train The through Pacific
express was not exceptionally heavy yes
terday, for every day there are from three
to six additional coaches to each west
ward bound train. The passenger list Of
yesterdays through train included about
200 men bound for the gold fields and 100
dogs.
Most of those bound for the Klondike
young men, but there are a few gray
headed enthusiasts among them. Many Of
them are from the far east. and there are
delegations from Iowa. Illinois, and other
middle states. A railroad man, who came
into Helena yesterday on the Pacific ex-
press said that 80 per cent Of the Klon-
dikers travel armed and many of them
exhibited their weapons in true Buffalo
Bill style. They seemed to think that as
they were in the wild west it would be adj
vIsable to have their trusty six-shooters
at hand ready on the instant TO repel the
attack of train robbers.
In car alone said the railroad
man. there were about 30 men, who wore
big Colt revolvers in scabbards attached
to harness under their arms. Nearly every
of them also had big hunting knives
stuck in their he1tS The al
bright and shiny and made an imposing ar
ray. If the train had been going the other
way, one would easily have imagined
filibusterng expedition on the way to
llberate Cuba. l think from the way some
of them talked they rather looked for the
train to be held up and were almost hop
ing for the adventure. These men exhibited
their weapons In the way that might be
expected of Wild Bill. the king Of the
plains. They would get off when the train
stopped and walk up and down the plat
form, with their big guns and knives in
plain view. They were on parade. and 1t
did them good to walk through large
These fellows and their arsenals were
never parted. They actually slept with
their knives strapped to them.
Now l suppose that the armament Of
those men must have cost each of them in
the neighbOrhOOd of $50 Some Of them had
rifles as we'll revolvers and l saw one
man with shotgun. Although they had
expended so much for guns they did not
waste any money on the dining car Nearly
every KlOnGilser on the train either brought
his provisions with him ate at stations
along the line. And they had no money to
spend for sleeping car berths, either Per-
haps they were only inuring themselves to
the hardships they propose to subject
themselves to on their way to the gold
fields. Helena (Mont.) Independent

The True GENTLEMAN.

What is a gentleman? Is it not
Knowing, instinctively, what he should shun.
Speaking no word that can injure or pain,
Spreading no scandal and deepening no stain?
One who knows how to put each at his ease,
Striving instnctivey always to please?
One who can tell by a glance at your cheek
When to be silent, and when he should speak
What is a gentleman? IS 1t not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won,
Living uprightness, fearing his God.
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod,
Caring not whether his coat may be old,
Pricing sincerity far above gold
Rocking not whether his hand may be hard,
Stretching 1t boldly to grasp its reward?
What Is a gentleman? Say. is It birth
Makes a man noble, adds to his worth?
Is there a family tree to be had
Spreading enough to conceal what Is bad?
Seek out the man who has God for his guide;
Nothing to blush for and nothing to hide;
Be he noble, or be he in trade,
This is the gentleman nature has made.

A PHILOSOPHERS DEATHBED.
The Serenity Shown by a French Ply

A French physician. I read. has recently
expired in a truly professional manner, as

of the London Graphic. He pointed out
the precise moment when his pneumonia
developed fatal symptoms and predicted ex-
actly when death would supervene. If he
knew as much about other people s cOndi

to his patients. Halter died in a somewhat
similar manner. Feeling his own pulse

CHAS. l.. CATLIN.

The nomination Of Chas L. Catlin Of
Catlin, Butler & Lyons, for Assembly,
man for the Second district, reflects
credit upon the Republicans OF this dis
trict and meets with the approval
OF the party ana the pubHc generaHv.
" rule it has been the mere politician
who has succeeded in securing the
nomination. In this case, however, it
was different. Mr. Catln is not a
political Wire-puiler or an office seeker,
rs every citizen of the district knows
He is a Republican, it is true, but like all
good Republlcans-al good citizens, for
that matter-he believes that the office
should seek the man, not the man the
office. That he is qualified to represent
the district in the State Assembly no
one who knows him doubts. A man of
education, a lawyer of high standing,
and one Of our most respected citizens,
he is in every way fitted to in,elligently
and honorably discharge the duties of
assemblvman. That he will be elected,
We have no reason to doubt and that
he will reflect honor upon the district
we are equally certain. He will not
only secure the solid Republican vote,
out he is sure to haye large Demo
cratic following.
Apart from merely local considera-
tons, the nomination of such a man as
Mr.. Catlin for the legislature is an en-
couraging omen. 1t is an indication
that the the DAYS OF the mere politician,
the wirepuller and office seeker are
drawing to Il close. The people are be-
ginning to see that legislator must be
man of brains and education; that he
must be a man capable of understand
ing right from wrong, ana with the
moral courage to stand up for what is
right at all times and under all circum-
stances. Much OF the litigation going
on to-day is due To the ignorance of
our Legislators and the consequent inn
perfection Of our laws. We have been,
and are paving, dearly for the election
Of mere vote-getters. Let us cease put
ting 4 premium on ignorance and unfit
ness and give men of solid worth the
preference. On such policy rests the
salvation OF the state and nation.

OUR TRADE RELATIONS WITH CANADA.

At banquet given in his honor,
in Toronto, Canada, a lew days ago,
Lord Herschell, chairman Of the Joint
High Commission now sitting in Que
bee for the purpose of establishing
freer commercial relations between the
Dominion and this country, seems to
have shown that he has a keen appre-
citation of the difficulties in the way of
the realization of such an agreement,
while he also expressed a hope that
they would be overcome. Touching
upon the trade relations between the
two countries Lord IIerscheli said:
81 should Law down without hesita-
ton as broad and general proposition
that " hen You have tao peoples closely
adjoining one another, with a vast CO.
terminous boundary of thousands OF
miles, interlacing as they do st various
points, that a large freedom of COM
mercial intercourse between the two
nations is likely to be of great alvant-
age to both. While | lay that down as
proposition that to my mind Is self
evident, | am, of course, alive 10 the
fact that on both sides of the boundary
there has been for many years in oper-
alton such tariff legislation "a created IN
both countries an artificial situation
that it is impossible to ignore, and that
the most convinced frce-trader must
face the situation and admit that any
violent change suddenly made must
necessarily produce results Of a serious
character in this direction, and must
not fail TO acknowledge this. This, Of
course. adds greatly to the difficulty Of
the situation. This is the main diff
Guilty, but there is another. Pass along
the boundary from east to west and 1t Is
impossible to shut ones eyes to the
fact that interests on both sides of the
boundary differ a. YOU pass rom east to
west, and that that which Is the desire
OF one part Of the COUNTRY, either OF the
[ nited States or Canada. is rot always
the desire of another part Of the cOun-
try. That, again, adds to the source OF
dIEcuity and it adds to the com pie kitty =
If the commission is to succeed in its
objects sectional Interests will have TO
be ignored. The question must be
viewed from national standpoint, on
the basis Of the greatest good to the
greatest possible many. Unfortunately
| there seems TO be a disposition on the
| part of lumbermen and others on both
| sides Of the line 20 oppose any conces-
sions, and this may be the rock upon
which the scheme for closer trade rcla-
tons may 90 to pieces.
For the sake of the kinship of the
two nations, SO strikingly evidenced
during our war with Spain, and as q
a proof our desire to foster and increase
that kindly feeling which should exist
between neighbors, we earnestly trust
that the commission may be successful
in its labors.
