A Little Sarcasm,

Great Falls, Oct. 1.-the following
somewhat caustic communication has
been sent by the city physician of Great
Falls to the health officer at Fort Ben
ton:
". +. Lewis, Fort Benton-Dear Sir: In
reply to yours Of the Tth, I beg to state
that, though one case in the last p hours
mas been sent to the pest house. we feel
surprised at the success we have had in
getting the disease under perfect control.
With regard to your quarantine, If it has
helped Fort Benton let the good work go
on, for it has not been very detrimental
to US. The water still flows over the big
falls, the smelters are still running and
there has been no saltpetre put on the
grass. Yours respectfully,
&C A. BRADY,

A Meaning of Anti-Imperin1i-m.

(from the Kansas City Star.)
That the United States ought to have annexed
Santo Domingo. as proposed by General Grant, has
long since become the belief OF the expansion ele
ment, which has existed in American politics from
the beginning. General Grant was an expansion
ist, but on the first intimation of his policy men
of exalted reputation for political purity-such
Senator R0ar and Edward Atkinson jumped TO
their feet in fierce protest: The famous speech of
Charles Sumner against the acquisition of Santo
Domingo is an episode in the history of the na-
tion. There is only way to account for this
anomaly of men born and bred to progress and
education being bitterly opposed to expansion,
which, in the pioneer population of the West, is
natural instinct. 1t is that. in their constant
stand against corrupt politics, these men become
imbued with antagonism to their country
and look upon every effort to expand as an en-
largement of the means for spoils and dishonest
politics. The sympathy OF certain professedly pa
triotic Americans for Aguinaldo means that they
are opposed to giving their enemies-the poll
ticians-a chance to hold offices in the admins
tration OF the territories of the United States
In other words, rather than widen the field for
the spoils system. they would curtail the power
and prosperity OF their own country.

THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
Russia Fully Up to Date in Her
Methods of Construction.
From the London Times)

The ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Brussels "Etoile Beige sends to the Jour
nal he represents the following particulars
rejecting on the manner in which the
Siberian railway has been constructed: In
the first place. the different works have
been executed in a manner that shows very
little conscience. Everything or nearly
everything. will have to be done over again
before the authorities can think of throw
ing open this gigantic line TO regular work
ing In very many places the road gives
way on the passage of train a little
heavier than usual or travelling at a speed
of more than twenty miles an hour, and
accidents more or less grave are con-
tinually happening. More than usual cour-
age is demanded of anyone undertaking
4 journey on this railway. This construc-
ton a Ia russo has already swallowed up
hundreds of millions of rubles. or, to speak
more truthfully, the constructors and not
the construction have absorbed the mil
lions. People are beginning to ask how it
will finish. There is still more. Several
Siberian journals, which are, moreover,
closely controlled by the local eensors
publish the following statements: For
several months the navy contractors have
not been paid in cash, despite the terms
of their contracts
THE engineers in charge. who represent
the Government, declared that they had no
more money. and the contractors must be
satisfied with bonds which the Siberian,
and Chinese banks have for some time
discounted at S 1-2 per cent. Frequently
these bonds were not paid on falling due.
and in consequence the banks refuse to act
any longer as Intermediates between the
Government engineers and the contractors.
1t was only when one OF these engineers,
Prince A, who had made a fortune, IN
dertook TO be personally responsible to the
banks that they resumed the functions OF
discount brokers. But the princes
guarantee is somewhat costly. see
ing that he claims little fee
of Is per cent. The contractors
are furious. but they find themselves
helpless owing TO the clause inserted In
all the contracts to the effect that disputes
between the engineers and the contractors
of the line have TO be settled in St Peters
burg. To lodge complaint six thousand
miles from the spot where the circun-
stances have occurred is at least incon-
venient and would entail years delay. Ths
position of the unfortunate navvies them
selves can be imagined from the treatment
of the contractors. Their wages are paid
very irreguIarly and always with deduc-
tions Badly fed and badly lodged. it is
not surprising if they give only half Il
heart 10 the work"

Marriages In Fun.

The silly season has given rise to an
other manifestation OF human foolishness
the marriage which was celebrated 'Just
in fun by real clergyman or justice of
the peace, with license. 1t Is rather dif-
ficult to see where the fun comes in in this
sort of thing any more than in the pistol
pointing joke, though it is not quite SO
deadly as the latter. The two young peo-
pie concerned are likely to be very good
friends, and If they are tied up together
for life it is not quite so bad, in most of
such cases, as being shot or shooting some
one else
But aside from the possible consequences
OF such joking it is in worse taste than
almost any other kind OF joke. The cere-
mony which binds two people together for
life. TO share joy aud sorrow, prosperity or
misfortune, with one another, TO afford aid,
sympathy. comfort, in the deepest trials OF
life, Is not thing which ought to be made
a joke by anyone. There is a great deal
OF talk about there being no proper respect
for religion nowadays, but we do not need
respect for any particular dogma or ordi-
nance half as much as we need respect for
this particularly sacred relation. There Is
probably as much real respect for marriage
now as there ever was. but there should
be a great deal more.
As TO those who, after marriage, find
that separation is necessary to their mutual
happiness, or vino. for any reason, find mar
riage failure. it is not necessary to lay
down any rules. for such problems must be
solved by time and by the individuals con
cerned But there is one thing which
every right-thinking man and woman can
do. without let or hindrance, and that Is to
treat this relation with respect and dis
courage wrong or silly views on the subject
The mother who teaches her daughter that
anything can possibly make a loveless mar
riage right, the father who gives his son
the impression that il is light thing to
take a woman's life into his keeping. for
better or worse. are doing lasting harm
TO those children. which will not end with
the next generation. The careless joking
and teasing common on matters which are
