The Greater Army.

7 N the house of representatives the
Hull bill had the easy time that is
characteristic of all of the admins
tration's legislation in these imperial
days. Those who condemned the plan
to increase the standing army could
not get patient hearing for what they
had to say in protest against this rad
1cal departure from our countrv's
presidents and methods. The answer
to every argument they offered was the
cry that those who did not favor the
proposed increase were old fogy, back
number patriots.
The bill reorganizes the standing
arm! and increases it's strength to a
maximum of a hundred thousand men,
with the minimum fixed at fifty thous-
and. The bill does not make provision
Tor the organization of a general
staff with full responsibility fixed,
where it belongs, in one head So that,
II the army We're recruited to it's full
quota and war to come upon us, there
would be the same blunders, the same
shifting of responsibility and the same
eSoilNdia llldl are l1e S64uel TO our re-
cent war with Spain-a war in which
the historian will be able to discover
little, if any, credit for our land forces,
the failure resting not with the SOL
diers but with the miserable manage
ment of them.
In the house the final vote on the
passage of this army bill was 1853 to 1875
Six republicans voted against the meas
ure: five democrats voted in favor of
it. In order to make the project more
acceptable to large class of critics, an
amendment was adopted which will
abolish "canteens" and the sale of
liquor in camps. One covert purpose of
all of this legislation was revealed when
the house voted down the amendment
proposed by Mr.. Amos Cummings That
amendment prohibited the use of troops
in the several states to suppress riots
and kindred disturbances except upon
the application of the state authorities.
The hackers of the bill simply said that
Mr.. Cummings was making a political
play, and they promptly voted his pro-
posed amendment down.

Distributing the $4,000.

jHAT to do with that 100000
w Doodle fund now in the hands
of State Treasurer Collins is
one of the questions agitating the legis-
lature. Whiteside's bill setting the mon
ey apart for the erection and equipment
of building for the Children's Home
society in the city of Helena, met with
very little favor outside of that society
itself. Possibly the bill might have been
better received had it proposed to locate
the institution anywhere else in the
state but Helena; but in any event,
with the existing state institutions
clamoring for funds, such a measure as
Whlteside's would have failed to be
popular. A bill introduced in the house
by Representative O'Brien of Madison
county appropriates $4,000 of the
Doodle to the orphan asylum at Twin
Bridges, but the friends of the other
state institutions are demanding their
fair share of the plum and the orphan
asylum will do well if it receives more
than $4,000
Some of the institutions are more
needy than others, and it has been pro-
posed by influential members of the leg
islature, after careful considerat ton, to
divide the 100000 on this basis: to the
normal school at Dillon, $500; to the
state university at Missoula, for the
Improvement of its grounds, $500; to
the agricultural college at Bozeman,
1880; to the school of mines at Butte,
$500; to the soldiers home at Column
bia Falls, $4,000; to the orphan asylum
at Twin Bridges. $4,000: to the deaf
and dumb asylum at Boulder, $4,000;
to the reform school a Miles City, Sc. 900.
1t is said that bill embodying these
features will be introduced early this
week. 1t may undergo material amend
ment before it reaches the governor,
for it would be next to impossible to
make any distribution that would give
universal satisfaction. However the
money shall be divided, one thing is GER
tain and that is that this much of Mr..
Clark's corruption fund will be put to
much better purposes than Mr.. Clark
ever intended.

OF the sixteen corpora tons organized
in 1898 the only one having any capital
invested in New Jersey is the American
Potteries company, with a recorded
capital of 100000, which controls the
pottery plants of Trenton, having a
small valuation in comparison with the
among other potteries.
Among the other sixteen companies
of the thirty-two only one has any in

ana the trusts are coming thicker
and faster. During the present month
the interpretations filed at Trenton have
been so numerous and for such amounts
of capital stock that the record of 1899
bids fair to far exceed that of 1895, un-
less something is done to shut the doors
of the New Jersey state house against
these mammoth trusts. This happens
simply because there's money in it for
New Jersey That state is selling it's
good name for incorporation fees. In
1898 New Jersey realized from these
fees and from the filing of certificates
a revenue of s2.35e,19s, thus relieving
the state from a direct tax upon the
people for the expenses Of the state
government.
Very properly, New Jersey exposes
itself to the i'll reputation that formerly
was the lot of Louisiana. That state
sold itself to dishonor until it's name
became an offense in the business
world. New Jersey is selling its good
name and rejoicing in the present prof
it's; but in the end the penalty will be
heavy.

In the Legislature.
~ HE session of the legislature is
more than half over and the
number of hills that bnya p,rroa

~ HE session of the legislature is
more than half over and the
number of bills that have passed
both houses and been signed by the
governor reaches the grand total of one.
That solitary bill is an act appropriate
ing $4,000 to pay the per diem and
mileage of the members and the salar-
tes of the attaches. This bill was so
fortunate as to slide through within the
first ten days. The rules in both houses
were suspended in order to facilitate its
passage and all hands Joined with alac-
Tity in booming the measure along.
Then there came a lull in legislation,
which lasted until the conclusion of the
senatorial fight. Brisk work was done
3n both senate and house last week and
about twenty bills are awaiting final
action. The remaining weeks of the
session will doubtless be lively enough
all along the line. and, as usual, a
large number of bills will die on the
wayside, being unable to receive favor
able consideration from the steering
committee.
Among the more important bills is
the one licensing gambling. 1t is a
measure that has many supporters
among conservative members, who, al
though having no sympathy for gamb-
iers or gambling, believe that it is an
evil that cannot be suppressed by any
legislation and that. such being the
case, the state should derive as much
revenue from gambling as possible. The
gambling bill is likely to pass the house.
but from present indications it Will
have mighty hard row to hoe before
1t gets through the senate. The initia-
tive and referendum bill seems to stand
no show at all. The prospects of the
woman's suffrage bill are very far from
being bright to the advocates of the
measure, although warm fight in its

! behalf is being conducted. There is lit
railroad commission bill or any legis-
| lation along similar lines, the vote on
! Stanton's fellow servant bill in the
senate last week showing that a major
| ity of that body is opposed to any legis-
| lation that does not give the railroad
companies free and unlimited swing and
| every possible opportunity for extern
sion and development. The railroads
themselves have been at pains in some
respects to avert unfriendly legislation.
When Senator Norris introduced bill
early in the session fixing the maximum
passenger fare at four cents mile, the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific, both of which had already pulled
their rates down within that limit, ex-
cept along stretches of road where tun-
nels have been built, united in request
ing the Oregon Short Line to get in
line voluntarily and render the enact
ment of such law unnnecessary-and
the Oregon Short Line complied.
The bill reducing the salaries of coun-
ty officers will receive the attention of
the senate early this week and will
probably pass that body in amended
form. The principal amendment will be
one to leave the present salaries in SIP
Yer Bow county, the only first-class
county in the state, in full force. The
proposed reduction of the salaries in
other counties ranges from ten to
twenty per cent. The bill reduces the
number of deputies and cuts their sala-
ries so materially that much opposi-
ton to the measure in its entirety has
been developed. 1t provides, for in
stance, that there shall be deputy
county attorney in counties of the first
and second class only. In Cascade
and Deer Lodge counties the county
attorney could have no assistance eX-
cept in cases of great emergency, when
the county commissioners might give
him a temporary assistant, his compen-
sation to be fixed by the court.
There are the usual number of bills
amending the codes, most Of which
seem to be right and just. The present
Legislature includes in its membership
several lawyers of ability and exper-
ience-the judiciary committees of the
senate and house were never stronger
and the state apparently may rest as
sured that the various amendments to
the codes will be in accord with justice
and eollitv
