M'KINLEY AND THE PENNSYLVANIA
MACHINE.

Mr.. Quay, following the example of
Gov. Stone, journeyed to Washington
and besought the president to give the
Office of director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to that faithful
servant of the machine, Ex. .Represen.
tative Brumm of Schuylkill county.
Within an hour after Mr.. Quay's de-
parture from the White House the presi.
dent appointed Captain William M.
Meredith of Illinois to the place.
Does this snub mean that Mr.. McKin-
ley has determined to cut himself loose
altogether from the Pennsylvania
machine henceforward? In the past
the president has subjected himself to
nation wide criticism, as severe as it has
been just, for his course in turning over
the federal patronage of this state to
the men who are the worst enemies of
the republican party - the republican
Crokers, who care no more for repub.
licanism than Croker cares for democ-
racy. This course served to ally the
Administration with bossism in it's foul
est forms, and 80 caused it to seem an
tagonistic to the efforts of the real re-
publicans of Pennsylvania to purify the

A PARALLEL CASE.

A PARALLEL CASE.
Repentant democrats, who, after
gayly planning a fusion of democracy,
populism and silver republicanism, are
now trying to get their party separated
from the mixture and Strengthened out,
can perhaps find some comfort in story
from Binghampton, New York, of a
case in private life having misery
parallel to their own. It is another
warning of the folly of mixing things
for the purpose of practical joking, and
since misery loves company it may
please the democrats to hear of it.
The story goes that a young wife in
Binghampton, who had just given birth
to her first baby, thought the occasion
good one to play merry joke on her hus-
band, and accordingly she borrowed two
other new babies, placed them with her
own, and on her husbands q return home
presented him with the triplets. The
report continues:
"The joke was lovely one, but, as
jokes sometimes will, turned inside out
into an alarming tragedy when the
mother discovered that the three babies,
who had been dressed alike for the hill.
arious occasion, had got their several
identities inextricably entangled. No.
body could tell which from t'other, and
the denouement threw three women and
nurse of the usual comic opera intelli-
gence into rapid Mysteries.
There is one broad difference between
the case of the Binghampton woman
and that of Bryan. In the woman's
case there is a certain element of pathos
which will prevent unlimited hilarity,
but in the Bryanite case there is nothing
beyond the ridiculous pure and simple.
With what eagerness did the astute
democrats of 1896 hasten and hurry the
work of fusion. They tricked out silver
republicanism and populism in garments
so much like those of democracy itself
that none could tell one from another,
and they were delighted when their
fusion brought about in the public mind
q hopeless confusion. For them there
can be no sympathy. They mixed
those babies up" and now if they can
not tell one from another the public
don't care. It is a political farce
of big proportions, and the laugh is on
the right side.-San Francisco Call.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.


If anything is said or advanced in the
coming congress relative to cutting down
the representation in southern states it
will be by irresponsible members of that
body and their speeches will be only de-
clamatory. At the present time it is
popular for politicians to dilate upon
the injustice of basing a representation
on the population rather than on the vote
in those states, but soon as they observe
that nothing of this kind springs from
the fountain source of the republican
party, they will subside. The south is
not as it once was. In many of the
cities manufactures have increased pop
ulation to wonderful extent and this
population has become as radical in
union labor sentiment as it was always
democratic. Let the representation in
those states be cut down and union labor
is going to cut bigger figure than men
having invested their money in those
factories would care to see. By control.
ling the cities, union labor would con.
troll the congressional delegations for it
would be the country districts that
would suffer from cut in the repre-
sentation in those states. AS long as it
does no harm, politicians can roar all
they please about the injustice of dis.
franchising the negro vote. but the
commercial interest, or at least those
controlling them, will hardly stand to
sec their properties confiscated simply
for the sake of a false sentiment. There
will be no cutting down of the represen-
tation in the southern states at least in
the immediate ture.-Alliance Pion-
eer Grip.

tiary congress, which also owes much to
the energetic initiative of DR.. Wines,
has rendered the highest form of service.
The character of officials is rising. The
merit system is supplanting the shame
full and costly spoils system. In the
fields of anthropology psychology, juris-
prudence and international law the best
minds have made contributions to pen
ology from their own particular studies.
The leaders of prison reform rejoice
in the recent acts of congress providing
for the establishment of federal prisons

ers from hardened felons and habitual
misdemeanants. Manual training and
sloyd methods of education have passed
beyond the stage of experiment and be.
come permanent factors in reformation.
Cities have substituted fines and proba-
tion for corrupting incarceration, so
that occasional offenders may keep up
the saving relations of family and in
dustry and still be under rigid control.
Michigan led the way in establishing
most enlightened and complete system
of child care, the admiration of philan.
thropists in all the world. This system
includes supervision and control of all
public and private institutions for de.
pendent and neglected children, that all
may be protected by law. No child is
to be placed in an institution except
on judicial approval and finding that it
is delinquent or dependent All institu-
tions are required to place dependent
children in approved family homes with
in reasonable time. During minority,
indentured children and youths are
supervised and protected. No subsidies
are given from public funds to private
institutions, but they are encouraged
and simply required to give evidence of
efficiency. Ill-treated children are pro-
tected by stringent provisions of law,
and parental custody comes to an end
when authority is abused. Dependent
and delinquent children are carefully
separated.
Private societies for aiding neglected
children have made great advance in
methods and results. Hugh barracks
are no longer approved as permanent
homes of children, and the nat ural en-
vironment of fostering parental affec-
tion is sought for the homeless. Kind
ergartens and day nurseries are agencies

MERE TRIPLES.
But They Have Led the Way to Some
Surprising Results.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Because a man forgot to close his
window the state of Massachusetts
has lost $3,000,000, and is still losing
100000 a year. The man was a silk
grower. He sent to France for some
gypsy moths, which he intended to
experiment with view to new
brand of silk. One day he sat at his
table eXaming some of these moths,
when he was called out of the room.
He left the window open and the
draught blew the moths out. Two
years later caterpllars ate the leaves
off of every forest and fruit tree for
miles around. They were the gypsy
moths, and the state has spent over
81 100000 in fighting the pests.
Two gunboats sent up the Nile
some years ago caused one of
the worst famines known in lower
Egypt. The gunboats went up into
the marshes beyond Khartoum to
hunt slave traders. The slavers, in
their anxiety to get away cut chan
nels through the "sudd" and the mass
of vegetation which lines the main
stream of the river. The result was
that the current carried down these
floating stalks, and damned itself so
completely that the Nile flood failed,
and thousands of the peasantry lost
their crops and almost starved.

all newspapers published outside OF

CHRISTMAS EDITIONS.

The Christmas Standard was issued
last Sunday. 1t contained sixty-eight
pages, each page artistic and the adj
miration of everyone. The reading
matter of each feature treated was
of the usual high class found in Mon
tana's favorite newspaper.
The makeup, the beautiful halftones
and special pages mark this as the
best by far Of any Of the special is
sues of this section. 1t is probable
that the Christmas Standard is the
most expensive of any issue of a
newspaper in the mountain states,
and by the same token, the adj
verisers in that number must pay
three times as much money as paid
to any three special issues Of any
other Montana daily.
Another Christmas issue of last
Sunday was the Great Falls Tribune.
1t was made up of .wenty-eight pages
filled with interesting reading and
very neat geographically, the first
and second sections being in colors.
1t is not SO very long ago since the
Tribune was a small paper, but it
has grown rapidly. especially the past
year, and seems to fit in the large
field surrounding Great Falls in a way
that must suit the people and the
Tribune as well.
