Il the State Committee of the Labor

One more case of smallpox was report
ed today, but as the sufferer made the
report in the city hall himself no one
stopped to ask him his name.
The man climbed up the stairs of the
city HAN and brushed against several
persons as he made his way into the
office of the clerk. His face was badly
broken out, and he informed the people
in the office that he was hunting for the
health officer, as he had the smallpox.
Roy S. Alley, the deputy county attor-
ney, who happened to be in the building,
was the nearest to the man, and as he
made a flying leap under the counter he
cried out that the place for the nan to
go was to the detention hospital.
Others in the Office climbed into the
vault where the books are kept, and the
smallpox sufferer. finding that he was
not popular in that locality, went down
the steps and headed for the detention
hospital.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 24.-According to
Chairman Chas. NJ. Webster Of the state
republican central committee, the flu
sion cohorts stand about the same brill
liant chance of winning any important
victory in this present campaign as did
the Perscian monarch Of history renown
in driving back the waters of the Helles-
pont by flashing them with a chain. "At
a distance of IA days from the election"
he asserted to day in an interview with
an Inter Mountain representative, the
prospect of republican success in Mon
tana are extremely hopeful. There is
every encouragement to believe that the
electoral vote will receive a good ma
jority in the state. This is confirmed by
advices which are multiplying from day
to day, and democrats in large numbers
AVE declared their purpose of forsak-
publican clubs, with a membership far
publicanc lubs, with q membership far
exceeding the entire republican vote in
their respective communities DIT the cleo
ton df four years ago.; forms one of the
safest bases on which we are making our
calculations of victory. In fact, we re-
gard the success of the state tickle as al
most assured. Mr.. Folsom is proving a
very strong candidate, and has gained
largely from his intercourse with the
people of the state during his anvas
through his modest and effective address.
There is abundant reason to believe
that we will also secure a clear ma
iority of the legislative assembly. This
may depend, however, upon the delega-
ton from Silver Bow county, and l can
not too strongly impress upon the repub-
licans of Butte the Importance of putting
forth their utmost exertions in that be-
half. The only way to insure the final
overthrow OF corruption in Montana is to
elect a republican legislature.
The committee is extremely grateful
as a body for the active and loyal sup
port and cooperation of local commit
tees and all the wlrking forces of the
party throughout the state. In this re-
spect, and in the harmony which exists
in the membership nf the republican
party, the present campaign is without
a precedent.
The distribution of political literature
has been pushed with the utmost en-
ergy, and more than one million docu-
ments have been circulated so as to
reach every voter in the state, with q
limited Number of exceptions.
THE work of speakers on the stump
has been more thorough than ever be-
fore, n all report that their meetings
are largely attended and characterized
oy the most encouraging enthusiasm"

Now. when we come 10 know that there have been
issued nearly seventeen hundred patents In the

that inventors have been working hard to accomplish
what you seem 10 think they have been slow about.
There are at least two very great obstacles In the
way Of the steam turbine coming into general use viz
fast speed. which wears out and tears the machine 10
pieces In a short time. and the excessive quantity Of
steam required 10 run II
Two OF three years agoI commenced studying the
principles OF the turbine. with the result that | have
produced a n machine IS horse power which obviates
both the above Objectionable features, running at about
two hundred revolutions, and uses steam expan-
sively, cutting OF nj one half way, and only reduces
the power of the engine about Is per cent from using

what would Seward Have Ssids

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. Ths
Canadian Government had prepared IN 1877
under its direction and supervision for exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair In Parts In 1878 very
large map Of the Dominion. II formed a Dor
ton Of the Governments exhibit and was an
official declaration TO the world of the boun-
diaries Of Canada. Upon the close OF the exhi-
bition the map was returned TO Ottawa and
hung up in the Capitol and was there when I
retired from Parliament In 1880.
There l. no claim made upon that map to any
portion OF the territory which Mr.. Seward pur-
chased from Russia in 1867. After I ives elected
10 Parliament in 1878 my colleagues In the Com
mons freq emily ridiculed Secretary Seward
for having paid 81 zoo. 600 for a worthless Rus
sian Iceberg.
During my eight years in Parliament I never
received an intimation from any member OF
either political party that Canada or Great
Britain questioned our title to any part OF the
territory we purchased from Russia.
Soon after Mr.. Seward purchased Alaska. in
an interview with the late Senator Foote OF
Vermont and the late Senator Simpson OF
Canada, he declared that his chief reasons for
the purchase were first: to prevent Great
Britain from extending her coast line upon the
Pacific; and secondly. TO place British Colum-
bia between two American States for the DUR
pose Of Americanizing its people with q view
to continental union,

The Church and the Constitution,

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir. The Rev,
James NJ Boldly can not understand how the
preamble which Senator Frye sought 10 insert
into the Constitution on Jan. rs, 1894, can possi-
bly, have referred to the Church, for the OBJ
vious reason that 1t did not use the word
church. but used instead this periphrasis or
ciroumlocution I'VE. the people Of the United
States, deyoutly acknowledging the supreme
authority and Just government OF Almighty
God In all the affairs Q! men and nations; CRATE
full to Him for our civil and religious liberty.
and encouraged by the assurance OF His word.
to invoke his guidance as a Christian nation
according to His appointed way through Jesus
Christ
But It was not necessary. in the proposed
wedding m to JON our State and the
Church together to give the bride her full name.
and IL would have been surely very impoIitlo
when she was so exactlyi identified without using
her.
Perhaps the authority Of Noah Webster
may close this hair-spllttihg contest TO the
satisfaction Of your clerical correspondent. The
dictionary says: Church. " . q temple Of
God, from kuraos, pertaining 10 a lord, or TO
our Lord Jesus Christ. % A house conSecrated
10 the worship Of God. w The collective BODY
OF Christians or Of those who profess to believe
in Christ and acknowledge Him 20 be The
Saviour OF mankind. In this sense, the Church
Is sometimes called the catholic or unirsrsai
Church" III. b, =.
