The night before congress ad
Journed Senator Thomas II. Carter
of Montana edited large audience
and electrified the senate in a speecl
of political character which was
unanswerable by the ablest men on
the opposing side. He took for his
text the election in Oregon which
had just resulted in such magnifi.
cent republican victory. He did
not speak SO much on partisan top.
les as upon the broad gagged prin-
clples OF the present republican ad-
ministration, and what it was doing
In the way of advancing the mater
al interests of the country and max
ing the people prosperous. Three
attempts were made to answer the
speech, one by a republican who did
not believe in the expansion policy
of the republican party; one by a
populist, who made very lame
presentation of the case, and the
third by democrat from the far
south, who did not even get re-
spectacle hearing.
While the campaign of 1888 was
being fought Montana was a terrific
ry, and no one paid much attention
to what was going forward in that
far off region. 1t was a territory
that had always been represented by
democrat, and presumably, SO far
as any attention had been given to
it, another democrat would be elect
ed delegate. But after the general
rejoicing among republicans that
Harrison and Morton had defeated
Cleveland and Thurman, that a re-
publican congress had been elected,
and that republican principles would
be inaugurated after four years of
Cleveland rule, there was borne in
upon the tlotsam and ietsam of that
election the fact that man named
Carter, republican, had been elected
delegate from the territory of Mon,
tana. A few took pains to inquire,
and it was learned that a young law
yer had been nominated for dele
gate, and he made campaign of the
territory. He spoke upon national
issues, the tariff and its benefit to
territory of so many products as
Montana. He had made an impress
ion upon the people of this territory,
and the result was his election.
The short session of congress fol-
lowing the election of a republican
president and republican congress
passed an enabling act admitting
four states-North and South Dako-
ia, Montana and Washington. This
made it impossible for Carter to
take seat as delegate, but in the
interim he was serving as delegate
+
from the territory of Montana, and
he did some good work for the peo-

pie of the whole northwest.

In May, 1889, Carter went to
Washington, having been selected
by the miners association of various
western states and territories to con-
duct an argument before the secre-
tary of the treasury in opposition to
the assistant attorney general of the
United States and others in the in
terest of the lead ore producers in
this country. He made an argu-
ment which attracted so much at
tention that it was printed in pam
phlet form and circulated through
out the country. 1t contained the
facts and arguments which have con
stituted the basis of all contentious
made in congress and elsewhere by
lead ore producers in favor of a
proper protective tariff and a proper
classification of ores coming into
this country from other sections. In
his argument Mr.. Carter pointed out
the defects in the law and the de-
fects in the treasury ruling which
allowed the admission into this
country of foreign ores. In the
aIo of al
been delegate, was elected mem
Der Of the house. When the house
organized he was the one new mem
Der of that body to receive a chair
manshiP, being placed at the head
of the committee on mines and min,
ing. 1t was in this capacity that he
led the fight for the lead ore during
the consideration of the Mckinley
bill, and also for other western in
terests which were contained in that
bill. The hardest fight made on
any tariff provision in that bill was
against the duty imposed on all
classes of lead oles. The great
smelling interests of Kansas City,
and others located along the Texas
border, in Illinois, and other sections
of the country, made a determined
effort to prevent duty on all lead
ores. One of the greatest field days
of the entire tariff discussion was the
fight over this lead ore propositions
An hour and half was allotted to
Carter to explain, and the duty on
the lead ore was retained.
Probably no other single repre-
sentative in that congress, and very
few IN any congress had such re
success in securing legis-
lation relating to the local affairs of
his own state as Carter. He secured
the passage of seventeen different
measures relating to affairs in Mon
tana, which were of sapreme mo
ment to the state Some of this
carried large appropria-
tions. One bill in particular was
the appropriation for the cession Of
the western end of the F,rOw reser-
vation, which opened to settlement
l 100000 acres of land, and which
distributed among the Grow Indians
and among the people of Montana
something over 81 100000.

He was also offered at that time a
position as assistant secretary of the
treasury. This he refused to accept,
but consented to become commiss
ioner of the land office. No better
land commissioner ever held the of
fee. Without increasing his force
in the least, the work, which was
three years behind the times, was
brought ny within fourteen months,
so that it was then abreast of the
times, and it has been easy to main
tain it in similar condition ever
since.
When the inside history of the
convention which met at Minneapo-
lis in 1892 shall have been told, it
will be known that one of the men
who was directly responsible for the
result of that convention was Thorn
as II. Carter. He was in charge Of
the Harrison interests at Minneapo-
lis. So marked was the position
which Mr.. Carter had taken in that
convention that it led to his Sc ect-
ion as chairman Of the national com
mlttee.
After the campaign Carter return
ed to Montana and engaged in the
practice Of Law, and continued there
until the campaign of 1894, in which
he took an active part. That was
the year the republicans realized the
mistake they had made in trusting
to a democratic administration, and
Montana returned to its safe moor
ings and to the party which had
done so much for it. Carter was
elected to the United States senate
for the term beginning March !,
1895, and which will end March },
1901. He is chairman Of the Dom
mittee on census, and member cf the
committee on appropriations, militia
ry affairs. postofIices and post roads
public lands and territories. 1t is
almost an unheard of thing for a
man in his first term TO secure a
place on the committee on annronr;-

COMPANY DINNERS.
They Are Dreaded by Guests and
Make the Hostess Nervous.

Writing on Making Company OF
Home Journal, considers lit Il curious
fact that American housewives are so
lOath to believe that Il dinner with fuss
and feathers is dreaded by the vast
majority of people. The highest COM
plimcnt we can possibly show Il guest
at dinner is to let him partake of an
ordinary meal, to let him come quietly
in and be one of the family yet this
is the very compliment which we with
hold from him. Instead of giving Il
guest what he would relish most we
give him what he really enjoys least.
Let Il hostess be ever so graceful
and tactful. let there be years of cX-
pericnce on her shoulders yet nothing
can conceal from her guests that the
dinner which she is serving is other
than an unusual one. 1t Is Il formal af-
fair, and no amount of grace can make
anything else of it, for nothing speaks
so loudly or so uncrringly as formal
company dinner. Every course shows
it; every movement of the waitress pro-
claims it; every piece of china fairly
cries out the occasion.
"And of course no one at the table
really enjoys it. The guest certainly
does not, because he knows he is being
made company of, and that feeling is
always enough to offset every enjoy
ment. Tie hostess does not. for she
hasn't the time. Her eyes are for the
table and her servants, not for her
guest"
