THE GRAND JURY.

That the grand jury now in session at
Helena will thoroughly Investigate the
charges of bribery and make a Conscien-
tons report, we do not for a moment
doubt. There is nothing in the situation
to justify a suspicion that the gentlemen
comprising that body will do otherwise
than act in strict accordance with what
they believe to be the facts. 1t is not at
all unlikely that at least a partial re-
port may be made within a few days.
The public certainly look for it.
1t is to be hoped that the disposition on
the part Of the joint assembly to defer
the final election of a senator until the
grand jury is heard from may meet a
feeling Of reciprocity in that body, to the
end that a report may be submitted as
early as an intelligent consideration of
the facts may justify. The members Of
the legislature. as well as the general
public, have q right to know the actual
truth respecting the charges made before
the election Of a senator takes place.
Having r~elegated the accusations of
bribery To a grand jury, it is difficult to
sea how the Joint assembly can honor
ably elect a senator until that body
makes lis report. While it may be said
tn status Of any candidate for tina high
honor. affected by such a report, has
nothing to Dc with the immediate right
Of the legislature to register its choice,
it must be admitted that a charge Of
bribery fastened upon any member of
that body would have a most potential
bearing on the question. 1t therefore is
clearly the duty Of the Joint assembly
to defer final action until the grand jury
demanded by it shall have reported thc
facts.
To do otherwise will leave an impress,
sion of undue haste, and subject some o
the members of that body to grave.
charges han discourtesy. There can b
no doubt as to an early report from tn
grand jury, and when that document i
before the joint assembly it can act NOR
i~ntelligently as to the course which j
ought to pursue, and which the people o
this state will demand.

PLENTY OF GOOD MEN.

Henry Mueller, Thomas F. Courtney,
II. l.. Frank, d. j. Hennessy, G.. w. Sta
pleton, Rod D. L.eggat, william NJ. Thorn
ton, Judge Woody, James II. Lynch, w.
W. Dixon, John j. McHatton-cannot a
United States senator be picked out of
that list? Why do the legislative dele
cations from Missoula, Deer Lodge and
Silver Bow counties persist in voting for
w. G.. Conrad? Why do they not assert
themselves and demand the election of a
Butte man? Or at least an Anaconda or
Missoula man.?
Mr.. Conrad is a respectable and honor
able citizen, but are the gentlemen
named above less so, and is not Butte,
the great metropolis of the state, en-
titled to the senatorship as against Kalis-
pell? How many men in Butte ever

the Silver Bow members they would not
be doing the second fiddle act in the state
capital. Why don't they boom one of
their own number-Hon. Elliott H. Will
son? He is the soul of honor. He is
capable. What he lacks in years he
makes up in character. And he is a
Butte man!

taches to the political methods with
which it is accused. The progress of the
senatorial contest only shows the COM
p3rative venues with which the demo-
cracy is divided along factional lines, and
forever sets at rest the hope that the
triumph of either wing will set a pace of
purity for the future political life of this
state.
The Inter Mountain foresaw the present
disgraceful legislative fight. during the
campaign last fall, and would have stayed
the tide tlGt made democratic success a
possibility at the polls. 1t was overruled
by the voice of the people. a democratic
legislature was elected, on the plea that
it would aid the cause of silver, and the
fruits of a misguided public opinion arc
being harvested in the scandals that ef-
iiict our beloved state.

TIE SITUATION.

To the chief actors in the senatorial
drama al Helena the play has become an
exciting one. That the feeling is intense
admits of no doubt. a more bitter con-
test never resulted from a clash of poll
teal ambitions. Whatever may be the
outcome of this discreditable controversy
between the two wings of the democratic
suffered an irreparable loss of prestige.
Most of the unkind things that have
published by the respective political or
gans of these warning democratic factions
will be accepted as true by those newspa-
pers in the east that seek every opportu-
nifty to discredit the west. 1t necessarily
follows that it will be more difficult in the
future than in the past to induce eastern
capital to tai part in the development
Of the magnificent resources of this state.
The success of the democratic party in
Montana last fall has blighted the fair
fame of the commonwealth, and to each
wing of the party in control must be ac-
credited its proportion of the havoc
wrought with the reputation of our peo-
pie abroad. The responsibility placed upon
the shoulders of the democratic party by
the voters of this state has been most

The French government proposes to
'switch' on its methods of governing its
outlying colonies. 1t las heretofore relied
upon it's armies to preserve order in them,
but as armies are costly and expensive to
handle the government will resort to bat

purpose of constructing them it has ap-
propriated $50, 900, 900, a sum sufficient to
build and equip six battleships, seven pro-

The populists of 1892 accidentally build
ed better than they knew. That plank Of
theirs which favored the election of
United States senators by a direct vote Of
the people, seems now to fit in the pres

change in the federal constitution will
permit the business of e~lecting United
States senators to be done by the people
alone, thus shutting out the thug and

The annual report of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology says that during
the last year the institution has received
in gifts the sum of $1,367 900. The reports
from the different departments tell of the
introduction of advanced studies in con-
sequence of advanced entrance require
ments, and that the school is making
continued progress toward a higher
standard for it's degree. Another notable
feature is the progress toward a greater

Mr. PosselWizzle," says the Providence
Journal, ''is in love with a young woman
who also loves him. But she objects
strongly to becoming Mrs. Posselwizzle.
She thinks that the name is ~inharmonious
and absurd. The unhappy man points
out the fact that the Posselwizzles have
always been a respectable n respected
family, and that he cannot endure the
thought of abandoning his fathers and
grandfather's name. This is certainly
proper pride on his part, and if the lady
really loves him, as he thinks she does,
she will respect him for it and yield her
prejudices. AS a matter of fact, we see
nothing Objectionable in PosselWizzle. 1t
is unfamiliar, to be sure, but there is an
advantage in that. There are other
names which might just as readily raise
a smile on the lips of the t~houghtless if
they were less common We advise Mr..
Posselwizzle to stick to his guns"

APPEAL OF GRAND ARMY MEN.
The President Asked to Override
Pension Com issiOner Evana.

Gen. A. D. Shaw, Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic; R. B.
Brown. of GAINESVILLE, Ohio; Major J. w.
Burst. Sycamore, H.; Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles, of New York, and Charles Clark
Adams, of Boston, composed delegation
had conference lasting two hours.
They presented to the President a copy
of the resolutions passed by the Grand Ar
my of the Republic at its encampment at
Philadelphia in September regarding pen
sion legislation. The most important part
of the resolutions was regarding widows
and the rating of disabled soldiers.
The resolutions desire that the widows
be permitted to receive pension even IL
they enjoy an income of $3.50, where at
present they are barred from a pension if
they have an income of s96 year or over.
Regarding disabled soldiers, they want the
disabilities of the applicants for pensions
aggregated so that many soldiers who are
not entitled to pensions at present will be
able to receive a pension under the new
rating.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans has de-
cided against the stwo claims made in the
resolutions. and the committee urged the
President If possible to order Commis
sioner Evans to raise the income which
widows may have from $96 to $3.50, and to
aggregate the disabilities of soldiers. They
claim that the President can order this
done without an act of Congress. Mr.. Nc
Kinley. after going over the matter with
him. said that he would give it his earnest
consideration.
