In arrordance with party usage,

ty convention is hereby called to
meet in the city of Great Falls, at
the court house, at 10 o'clock a. M,

nominating five members of the
state Legislature, "a judge of the dis
trict court, clelk of the district

clerk and recorder, county at
torney, an assessor, an auditor,

DON'T BE A DUPE.

The HERALD will have a mission
in this campaign. And this mission
will be to expose evils, and wrong
doers in all their forms. Whether
Ryans or Gallaghers with their
doodle and bluff, whether blatant
demagogues or officious slatemakers,
whether boodlers or the promoters
thereof. If anything will serve the
public good, this paper will advo-
cate it, but the time is ripe when a
live newspaper must declare itself
upon public policies, and here and
now let it be understood, the HER
AID will declare that in this Mon
tana democracy there is no good.
Even the friends of silver know the
party platitudes upon that theme
are lies. Democracy in this fair
state deserves an indefinite relega-
ton to the shades of oblivion, and
upon the decent citizens of all par
ties rests the task of reclaiming the
lost honor of the commonwealth.
A wolf wearing sheep pelt is still
a wolf, and while making the dec
laration against democracy we de-
clare that there is no more hope for
siver through democratic leaders of
Montana than there is of pineapple
sherbet where Mephistopheles holds
sway. The friend of silver may as
well shroud his idle fancy and end
his delusive dream. Its realization
will not come in the year of our
Lord 1900, but shams, hoodwinks,
pretenses and promises will be the
democratic stock in trade. What
ever you are, don't be dupe.

Strawberry Fishing In Chile.

a singular custom prevails in Chile
which in these days of aseptic pre-
cautions will cause shudder among
those who see infection lurking in cv-
cry detail of life. 1t is called straw
berry fishing and is conducted in this
fashion:
At the close of dinner the cloth is
removed, ana there is placed upon the
table an immense bowl into which are
emptied half a dozen bottles of Bor-
deauX wine, four of cherry and two of
rum, besides sugar and nutmeg. Into
this mixture Is put very large straw
berry, which floats upon the surface.
The bowl is provided with two han
dies. These are used to lift the vessel
and tilt it so that the strawberry may
be brought near the edge and sucked
into the mouth. This would appear an
easy feat, but 1t is difficult one, as
the fruit rolls over when touched with
the lips. The contestant in the effort
swallows considerable quantity of
the liquid concoction
This Is the reason for the game. for
the bowl is passed from one to the 9th
er many times in succession before the
strawberry is captured. When that
moment finally arrives, all of the
guests have reached a ripe stage of
hilarity This is the game as it is
played among the higher classes.
Among those of lower social standing
the fiery liquor of the country is sub.
berry fishing develops into function
compared TO which a fighting mixed
ale party in this town is the recreation
of a group of peace seeking Quakers,
New York Sun.
