1T is WRITTEN.

The signs of the times would in
dicate that Montana will soon close
the books of democratic corruption,
and turn the rascals out, all along
the line. There is limit to the
tensile quality of popular credulity,
and when the democrats of 1900 tell
the people what they propose to do
the record of the past two or four
years will give their silvery utter
ances the blank lie.

ABOUT HONEST ELECTIONS.

John Wanamaker says there has
not been an honest election in Penn
sylvania for fifteen years, and yet
the leading papers in that state are
so busy in pointing out the lawless-
ness in Kentucky that they have
had no time to pay attention to the
conditions nearer home.-Louisville
Post.
And the published illusions of
those papers to the rottenness of
Montana politics should not be over
looked.

SANDPAPER AND VARNISH.

In extent of the loss of life, there !
has been no more appalling mine
disaster in the west than that which
occurred last week by an explosion
in the large colliery at Schoheld,
Utah. Every dispatch from that
country brings tales of added horror,
until the great heart of the Ameri-
can people is wrung with grief. As
the explosion choked all means of
exit, the entire shift in tunnels No.
| and No 4 were suffocated, perish
ing like rats in sinking ship. Ev-
cry temper of criticism of this ex-
plosion is one of deep sympathy for
the unfortunate company, and as us
ual in such cases the coroner's in
vestigaton casts no blame upon
anyone. A most unusual circum-
stance attends the investigation of
this horror, in the fact that nobody
lives to tell the public how it hap
pened There was evidently an ex-
plosion of powder, followed by an
explosion of gas and dust, but the
manner Of these events and how the
disaster started are deeply shrouded
in mystery.
But there is one noticeable fact
which lies in common with all other
explosions. The state mine inspect
or is on the ground early, to tell the
public how safe he considered the
mine, and that there can not possi-
bly, lie any blame againgt the com
pany. 1t has never been seen to
fail that the state mine inspector
comes early to the scene and com
mences to fix things. 1t is the same
in Utah as in Montana. We have
known this official to give IL good
report upon mines where nothing
but condemnation would properly
represent the case. The office of
state inspector, intended to guard
the public against possible disasters
is sort of sinecure to afford the
incumbent "A chance to sieze a little
hush money, and the real condition
Of the states mines is kept from the
public knowledge. The inspectors
report is smooth, readable essay,
throwing bouquets at the mine man
ayers in nauseating profusion.
Nowhere has this conduct been
more thoroughly manifest than in
the historic Broadwater explosion at
Neihart. Here a number of inno-
cent lives were sacrificed to the in
competence of drunken powder
monkey, and at the inquisition there
was every facility to exploit the
fact. A public would naturally say
that somebody is responsible for the
officiousness of a drunken powder
monkey, but the managers were in
the mourners procession, promising
aid in 81 900 chunks, while the ever
officious mine inspector was the big
gest smooth bore adviser in the
camp. Everything was so sand
papered and vanished that the sub
ject was not thoroughly exposed
and rs soon as the coroner's exoner-
alton was pronounced the inspector
left for Basin where he helped tC
varnish another equally bad job fol
) the Hope mine.
: Such catastrophes as that at Scho
field are great harvests for the offic-
ials. While everybody knows that
coal miner should not be entirely
) choked and closed by a single ex'
ploson, yet the inspector says the
mine was safe, and there is an enc
to the controversy Wonder how
much he got for that statement?

THE SHRINERS.
Annual Election of Officers and Recep-
 tion of Candidates.


 What's the matter wiht Tuscaloosa?" was the mysterious sentence which passers by heard echoing from the third story of Elks' Hall on Twentieth street and Fourth avenue Wednesday night. After the interrogatory suppressed laughter was heard. It was not meeting of the Elks that was in pro- gross, but solumn conclave of Zamooa Temple of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, commonly called the Shriners.
 Whats the matter with Tuscaloosa?" is supposed to have had some reference to one of the candidates who was un- dergoing the ordeal of reception or in- itiation. It was learned that one or more of the candidates who were in- vested with Shrine secrets came from the good old city of oaks and elms. In the teams there were no Birmingham Masons, but several of the richest sec- tions of the state were represented.
 The annual election of officers were held and the following were the chosen ones:
 Ben M. Jacobs, Illustrious Potentate.
 c. R. Westcott of Montgomery, Chief Rabban.
 John H. Robinson, Assistant Chief Rabban.
 c. R. Patterson, High Priest and Prophet.
