PENSION GRAFTERS AT WORK..

Philadelphia North American: The
pension attorneys are sharing in the
general prosperity following the war
with Spain. Commissioner Evans has
been looking into the methods and has
found a remarkable condition of af-
fairs, particularly in San Francisco,
where the troops from the Philippines
are held pending muster out. The at
torneys have sent their runners" into
the Preside to solicit business and
established a system of sporting about
the railroad offices, where, the soldiers
apply for transportation. They have
e. offered special inducements to
applicants in the way of free medi-
cal examinations. The greatest abuse
has been the filing of claims before
the men were actually discharged.
The unfortunate part of the business
is that the unscrupulousness of the
attorneys discredits the whole pen,
sion system and that worthy veterans
suffer through no fault of their own.

DOUBLY REGRETTED.

The decision of the president to
abandon the northwestern portion of
his tour will cause much regret to
the people of the cities and localities
which had been promised a visit from
him. But more profound is the re-
greet at the u which necessitated
the change in his programme and in
the sorrow which is now filling his
heart he has the sympathy of the
nation. Those who have been at all
familiar with the condition of Mrs.
McKinley's health for the past few
years are not surprised that the IA
tigue and excitement of the long jour.
ney which she undertook to make with
her husband proved too severe a task
on her strength. Nevertheless, they
had hoped that she migL. be able to
withstand the strain and complete the
tour to return to her home at Wash
ington, improved, if anything in health
and assured of the warm spot she and
the president occupy in the hearts of
the people of the nation. That her
strength failed her and that the trip
which began under such suspicious
and joyous circumstances should come
to so abrupt and mournful an ending
is the regret Of all. While disap-
pointed at his decision, yet the peo-
pie who had prepared to welcome him

The regret of the nation at the ILL
ness of Mrs. Mckinley is no less sin

and complete recovery and that she
may be able to continue and conclude
the journey on which She and her hus-
band started with so many wishes for
their safety and enjoyment. For the
of herself and the keen disap-
pointment it would prove to those of
the places yet to be visited it is hoped
that the first lady Of the land will find
herself able to continue the itinerary
and that she and the president may be

of autonomy been granted to that
country at the time the agitation for
home rule vas at it's height also
comes in for some severe criticisms.
Some of the newspapers seem to
think that Salisbury showed little

the relations between itself, the SUI

commenting on this portion Of the

factions in all of her colonies, and
when any aspersion is cast on their
loyalty to the center nation of the
federated Great Britain they are like
ly to become openly hostile and re-
bellious.

ROW AMONG DEMOCRATS.

The democrats OF northern Montana
have awakened to the fact that in the
distribution of pie by the governor
they were overlooked to a shameful
degree. The Great Falls Tribune has
taken up the cudgel in behalf of the
disappointed ones and is jabbing the
harpoon into the tender flesh of the
executive. The position of the per-
sons for whom the Tribune is the
spokesman is a peculiar one. Until
the division Of handouts was made
they, of course, could not say any
thing, not knowing what portion had
been reserved for them. After the
pie wagon had called and gone it was
too late, for in the matter of offices
the appointive powers follow the rule
of banks never to correct a mistake
after the person alleging a mistake
has been made has once left the build
ing. They are not deprived of the
right to grumble and complain, but
that does not help their case any. The.
pie has been dished out anu the plate
is put away. The Tribune intimates
that Governor Toole will hear more
of the matter when the time comes to
select a successor to Senator Gibson,
by intimating that it viii not be a man
of the governors size and appearance
who is to be that In this
the republicans of the state most
heartily concur, ven if they do not
agree with the Tribune as to whom
the man is to be. Probably Governor
Toole has a sort Of notion that way
himself and is not worrying over the
cover threat of the Tribune and those
whom it represents. The to
Senator Gibson will be a republican.

taken notion of their officials that they
were safe in using the funds entrust-

case speculation in some form is re-

the banks. have been compelled to
suspend.
With the exception of one case, all
the d~efalcations came to light while
the bull boom in stocks was on, when
many of the spectators were making
money and apparently believing that
there was no end to the advance in
prices. The co~mptroller's office be-
lieves that others will be heard of,
S where some of the officers or
employees of the banks used funds il
legally. The affected banks are scat
tered over a large area of the coun-
try, showing that the fever for sud
denly getting rich was not peculiar
to any one section. AS shown by the
figures obtainable the total of the
sever shortages is $43S,000. OF this
shortage the largest amount Is
charged up to the Farmers National
bank of V~ergennes, Vermont, which
is reported to have a discrepancy of
S150,000. Away up in Washington
state a bank. the First National of
Vancouver, is behind SSH 900.
Of course, none of the men respon-
sible for the shortages intended to
steal the money. They expected to
use it for a few days only, until they
could unload, and then make good
without anybody knowing the least
concerning the transaction. They

easily grow wealthy, not having the
patience or ability to accumulate
riches in the legitimate way.

Britisher's effort in that manner.
In fact, were the marquis to read
some of the criticisms of his speech
he would think a league had been
formed against him by the American
newspapers. The manner in which
his boasts of England's prowess and
might is compared with England's ac-
complishments in south Africa is not
at all calculated to arouse British ma
tional pride. His reference to Ire

London, in a recent interview said
that hundreds of the energetic citi-

ed to improve the condition OF the
Canucks. What is more, he said they
were welcomed with open arms, as
they brought the very qualities need

the titled gentleman particularly was
the fact, he said, that many of the
new immigrants were from the far
west, where they had already expert
enced severe conflicts with nature. He
was glad that some of the energetic
and ingenious Americans who have
done so much to stud our plains with

way across the line and the Canadi-
ans are doing all they can to c
age more of the same class of immi-

HELENA's LOCAL OPTION FAILS.

Attorney General Donoyan's man
date in reference to the enforcement
of the anti-gambling law is said to
have resulted in stopping the buzz of
the roulette wheel and the click OF
King Faro's little disks at the state
capital. Every gambling device and
every form OF gambling, except match
ing pennies and playing marbles, is
said to be only a memory to the Hele-
Mates. From this one would sup
pose JOY and happiness now reigned
at the social and moral center of the
state, but such is not the case. The
enforcement of the attorney generals
order has brought lots of trouble to
the officials of the city. Recently they
entered into an arrangement with the
gamblers by which they were not to
be molested while plying their voca
ton, conditional upon their paying a
monthly fine" 500, each, while the
owners of nickle-in-the-slot machines
deposited twenty-five plunks with the
same official. Something like $1,000
was collected by the chief of police
and an alderman who accompanied
him, presumably for the purpose of
seeing that the city obtained the rake
off in it's entirety. The money still
remains in the possession of the chief,
the magistrate refusing to accept it
unless regular proceedings were insti-
tuted against the gamblers, something
which has not been done. The city
treasurer also declined to accept the
money on the plea of i%rregularity in
its collection.
The county officers hearing Of the
arrangement, stepped in and caused
the arrest of one of the slot men, just
to show the city fellows that they were
not the whole push. The victim of the
double hold up was fined 500, de-
spite the fact that only a few min

ABATE II

If Mayor George is still of the minC
that he would like to improve the
tone and appearance of the city, and
at the same time render a service tC
a large number of people, especially
ladies and children, he will immedi
ately give orders to the police to clear
the street of the animated
statuary which is constantly congre
gated about them. Particularly is this
the case along Montana avenue and

ance and Inconvenience of pedestrians
and Despatter the walks with tobacco
juice and in other ways deport them
selves so as to be an annoyance to
everybody who is compelled to pass
that way. Long exemption from" in
reference, has caused the statues to
arrogate to themselves the right of
possession and acting upon this ar
rogance absolutely refuse to move,
ever when the streets are most crowd
ed, in order to permit those who wish
to pass to do so. On the contrary,
they hold stubbornly to the walks and
force those who have the right to them
to use the middle Of the street or
cross over, as most ladies do when oc-
casion arises for them to visit the
part of the city where the nuisance
is the worst.
The Gazette recognizes the fact
that streets and sidewalks are public
thoroughfares and are dedicated to
the use of everybody who desires to
avail himself of them, but this does
not confer the right to use them as
places for idling and loafing, especial
tered from the legitimate and proper
enjoyment of them. The complaints
that have been made to The Gazette
and the request to roast the city
authorities for permitting the nui-
to go on undated have been
many and are made almost daily.
With no desire to engage in the
roasting process or being captious
or over particular, this paper, how
ever, does contend that the people
have ample cause OF complaint and
submits their case to Mayor George,
confident that when his attention shall
have been called to the matter be will
give the necessary orders for prompt
and effective relief, and see to it that
the relief will be permanent. If Bill
ings really desires to become a city
and assume the ways of one it might
as we'll begin now as at any other
time. One of the ways OF all cities is
to keep corners and streets clear of
loafers and loiterers and the only way
to make this possibleeis by the en-
forcement Of the familiar move on

While it is true that strikes and i'm
pending strikes are uncomfortably
numerous we should not forget the
difference in cause that exist at the
present and which existed during the
years that men struck wien a demo-
cratic administration was in charge
OF the national government. Then
they struck against a reduction Of
wages, while 10Y they strike for
higher pay. The results may be the
same, but the cause is altogether diff
ferent and materially weakens the ar
gument of the democrats that repub.
