COMFORT IN GLOOMY WEATHER

When the snow Is on the garden,
And the ice Is on the walk,
And the monthly bill for fuel
Brings about a painful shock.
There's a pleasing consolation.
And we feel inclined to sing.
For it's cheering to remember
That we're N day nearer spring.
When we slip on icy pavement
And go down with fearful crash.
Then arise In Indignation.
Using language that 10 rash,
IL Is soothing to remember
Spring is coming on h hop.
With Its mud to serve as cushion
When the walker takes q drop.
When the mercury is tumbAng
And the northern breeses roar.
And we're bowling AT the scoundrei
Who neglects to shut the door.
IL Is helpful to remember,
Ere a chair at him we hing,
That the door he nov leaves open
He'll be closing In h spring.
when before the IRE we shiver
With a bad attack of chills.
And at intervals we're gulping
Down a lot OF quinine pills.
It's some comfort to remember
As we bolt the bitter stun.
That the balmy spring In coming
And we'n soon be warm enough.
Yes. the gentle spring Is coming.
with it's flowers. birds and bees.
With sweet odors of the blossom
Borne upon each passing breeze.
And though now the blasts OF winter
Rush and roar and sharply sting.

That we're me day nearer spring

Its New

n the Great Falls Leader we End the
most original bit Of post-election
comment that has come to our at
tention this year. The idea
is tina the republicans can find a good
Zeal to them in the elections
of last Monday in this state"
Now. to begin with. 1t a come to
pass that. when o speak of politics
in Montana, you have to diferentiate.
There are a few republicans in Mon
tana-not many. These republicans
answer the description that everywhere
in politics il current-they voted for
Mckinley. they stand on the st. Louis
platform which President McKinley's
cabinet has defined as a single-gold-
standard platform. There is another
political party in Montana. nowhere
known as the republican party. but
everywhere called the silver-republican
party. In Montana, as elsewhere. his
silver-republican party has distinctly
parted from the republican party. II
has held separate and rival state and
county conventions; it's members voted
for Bryan for president.
The Great Falls Leader IL republican.
1t supported Mckinley. 1t has stood by
the pronounced gold policy of the ad-
m~inistration. Thus the political where
abouts of the Leader are defined. but
where does IL get the mathematics
wherewith to get encouragement for
the republicans out Of the Montana
spring elections? In Anaconda the re-
publican party did not have a ticket
In the field. The competition here was
pleasantly run-in the belief that no
harm could come thereby to silver
between democrats and Bryan repub-
licans.
In Missoula n republican was a
candidate for the office Of city treas
urer. In a total of 622 votes h polled
80. so excellent a citizen this gentleman
otherwise Is. that the Standards Mis-
soula Office, in its report of the election.
felt compelled to remark that his
trouble was not his general standing
among his neighbors. but his CLASH
fication as a Great Falls Leader repub-
lican.
In Butte the republicans nominated
a city ticket in rivalry with the two
tickets representing citizens who are
for silver and who oppose Mckinley.
The showing this ticket made was
something awful-in the eight wards
of Butte, in a total of more than $500
votes. IL polled 500. The Leader knows
how IT was in Great Falls; surely it
will not make any republican claims
for that city. 1t also knows that. essen
TALLY. there was no politics at all in the
Helena election.
The Great Falls organ of Mckinley
ism takes the returns we have reviewed
under Amusement. and its deduction is
that IF these do not show practically a
republican victory in Montana we are
unable to make comparison of election
figures" Well. they certainly do not
show practically a republican victory
the balance of the Leaders sentence
does the rest.
We assume that I'm this summing-up
OF the election the Leader is serious.
IL would be discourteous to remark that
II is not sane. Still. we cannot help
thinking how the late DIR. Mussigbrod
used to remark: 1T beats the devil
how at the springs we can sometimes
amuse a great big fellow who looks as
IL he ought to be all right. and do 1t
with a miserable little two-bit toy. II
pleases him as much as IL it was good
for something"
