DR.. HILLS ADDRESSES.

DR.. e.. w E Hill Of DesMoines,

these, aside from his work before.

the opening sentence to the close,
the audience gave the closest atten-
ton, relieved only by frequent
laughter and applause. DR.. Hills
experience of twenty years as an
educator, supplemented by half as
many years extended travels in this
country and Europe, has qualified
him as a past master IN the study Of
human nature and sociology. All
Of his talks are educational in the
best sense Of that word, but rarely
given SO as to suggest the peda
gogue. t would be presumption to
endeavor to produce the charm Of
DR.. Hill S talks about Europe, or
rather about the delightful people
and ridiculous episodes OF some Of
his experiences there, as a strenu-
Gus American in search of a knowl-
edge of the people themselves, rath-
er than the regular guide book at
fractions. One pervading feature Of
I his address deserves mention, and
that was its intense loyalty to every
thing American, except the admitted
faults and abuses OF our social and
political system, some of which he
/ held up to boisterous and merited
ridicule.
Sunday afternoon Dr.. Hill spoke
before large audience at the Meth
odist church, giving his conclusions
on the subjectofintemperance after
many wears Of work in that especial
field. There was nothing stereo-
typed or stale in DR.. Hills diagno-
sis of the liquor evil. His theory
IN brief is, that the only solution Of
the problem is along educational
lines, and that Christian parents
and Christian homes have a greater
responsibility for intemperance and
its attendant evils than the saloon
keepers themselves. It was almost
hopeless to endeavor to damn the
Niagara Of intemperance, but if all
the springs and brooks draining
into the great lakes we're diverted
from their course, there would be
no Niagara.
In the morning DR.. Hill preached
in the Christian church, and in the
evening to an immense audience at
union services at the Methodist.
church. Pastor Orr characterizes
DR.. Hill as "a 10th century John
the Baptist, who strikes telling
blows. at modern social sins. He
certainly has a message worth the
hearing for all sorts and conditions

A STORM ALARM CLOCK.

A novel method Of predicting the
weather has been discovered by Prof. A.
Tommasina, French scientist. He
uses for this purpose an instrument,
which he has just perfected and which
he calls an electrical radiophone. By
means of it he can ascertain the exact
nature of the electrical currents in the
air at any moment, since the instrument
is fitted with clock work arrangement,
which registers the precise quality of
each current. There are also several
bells in the instrument, each of which is
bound to ring whenever it is affected by
a particular current If the current is
strong, loud bell rings if it is weak,
only a slight tinlkling is heard. Prof.
Tommasina claims that this instrument
will be found of great service, especially
on vessels at sea, since it will prove
much more reliable than the present
method of ascertaining weather con-
ditions, which is of hardly any use ex-
cept near coast

ROCK ISLAND DINING CAR SERVICE.

Commencing June 1st, the Rock Island
Route will establish through Pullman
car service between St. Louis, Mo-, and
Denver, Colo, running in connection
with the fast Colorado flyer. These
sleeping cars will be Of Pullman's latest
design, with large retiring rooms for
ladies, and such other modern convent
ences as are found in up-to-date cars.
Dining car service will also be inaugu-
rated OH June 1st, on the Rock Island,
Colorado flyer, both east and westbound
between Kansas City and Topeka, under
supervision of Frank Stewart, superin-
tendent of dining cars. The usual high
standard of dining car service will be
maintained on the la carte plan,
patrons thus paying only for what they
oIder.

the honor comes from being worthy to
hold the office. 1t is more honorable to
deserve all office, and never get it, than
it is to get an Office and not deserve it.
The greatest honor that can come to
man in this country is to do his duty
and to deserve the esteem and confidence
of his fellow man. 1t is a greater honor
to stand upon platform and discuss
public questions and public events, and
be free to express all unbiased opinion
and conviction upon a subject, than to
speak piece in the halls of congress,
containing ninety per cent. of desire to
keep party in power and the speaker
in Office, and ten per cent. of sentiment
really beneficial to the community.
The greatest hope we have for better
ment Of these conditions, is in the uni
versal application Of civil service. And
also the encouragement of the salutary
idea that political party should be
supported only when it deserves it.

before he gets his money. 1t is not ex-
pected that supplies purchased from the
ring will conform to the contract.
Another ingenious method of keeping
i'll political power was discovered in one
of our cities few years ago, where
ring controlled the assessors Office in
township. A majority of the property
owners were assessed less than they
should have been assessed, and minor
ity of the property owners were assessed
a great deal more than they should have
been assessed, and by this means the
majority in the township were induced
to vote with the ring, by which means it
managed to keep in political power for
ten years.
So much for that element of the ring,
which profits financially
practical Politics.
1t often happens that persons who
have no interest in politics, excepting
the betterment of political conditions,
are able to make what might be a sue
cessful fight upon the gang; but because
the majority of the persons engaged in
such fight do not desire an office, it
becomes comparatively easy for some
man with an abnormal thirst for politi-
cal honor, to ally himself with the party
making the fight, and have himself
championed as a candidate, and when
the fight has been almost won against
the ring, the candidate, thinking to
and associates, goes over to his enemies,
and offers as an excuse therefor that he
is playing practical politics. 1t is, by
some, thought to be mark of shrewd-
ness to play practical politics; whereas,
any man, if he is small mean and con-
temptible, has no regard for his word,
and is willing to betray his friends, can
be a practical politician. Practical poll
tics, means directly the opposite from
honest politics, or honest conduct.
Ring Rule Demoralizing.
Ring rule and domination do not
pay. Not only is the public plundered,
but so far as those who are members of
the ring are concerned, it does not pay
them. Money obtained in such way
will not last. Those who are engaged in
it may be able to smoke good cigars and
drink good whisky for time, but when
they are dropped from power they are in
worse position than when they started.
Their reputation, and often their morals,
are gone.
If a person applies to commercial
house for position, and states that he
has been holding political job for five
years, and some other person from
rival commercial house also makes appli-

ticket will pull them through, has be-
come so universal that when a national
and municipal election occur at the
same time, it has become generally
known as yellow dog" year.
Ring Perpetuation Controls Appointments.
When the men who are members of
the ring, or who are willing to do the
bidding of the ring, are elected to office,
the first thing that is done is to dis
tribute the appointive offices among the
members of the ring, and place such
appointments where they will do it the
most good. No regard is paid to the
best interests of the public. The only
thing kept in mind is the interest of the
ring. 1t is customary to appoint, as
nearly as possible, one man in each pre-
cinct to position where the pay great
ly exceeds the value of the work. OF
course, he must keep himself in readi-
ness to obey every command of the ring;
he must be willing to do anything that
y
cinct organization.
Why persons, who have any self re-
spect, will accept such position at the
hands of the gang, 1 have never been
able to understand. For the discipline
that they are compelled to submit to is
as rigid as that of the regular army, and
the indignities that they are compelled
to bear, are beyond the endurance of
self-respecting man.
Ring 'Incomes"
The ring does not depend alone upon
the salaries and emoluments from Office.
1t sells all the legislation for which it
can find market, and when there is no
market for legislation it holds up and
sand-bags legitimate concerns with
threatened disastrous legislation The
members of its Legislative bodies do not
always receive the profit to be derived
from the giving away of franchises and
legislation. A valuable franchise was
voted away by city council few years
ago WltnOut any return tnefeIOf 10 the
city. Public mass meetings were held,
and the members of the council de-
nounced for having been bribed. Ihave
been informed by gentleman in a posi-
tion to know, and whom l believe does
know, that no money was paid to the
members of the council for the passing
of the ordinance; because the men who
were interested in the corporation that
received the franchise, We're the mem
bers of the ring who had placed the
members of the council in their seats.
Another method by which the ring
profits, is the furnishing of public sup
plies. There are but very few instances
where public supplies are purchased

readiness for the state convention Of the

Information received from the various
parts Of the state indicate that the at
tendance will be much larger than at
any previous convention held in Mon
tana. It is expected the pastors Of every
Christian church in the state will be
here, hence it is certain that those who
attend the convention will enjoy an in
tellectual treat, as many of the minis
tiers are men possessed of a high stand
ard OF learning and noted for their ease
and grace Of delivery before a congrega-
ton.
Some Of the delegates coming from the
western part Of the state are expected
to reach the city tonight, but the greater
portion Of the visitors will arrive tomor-
row morning.
The opening session will begin at 8
o'clock tomorrow evening. Frank Min
nick, pastor of the Anaconda church,
will deliver the address Of welcome, and
o. F. McHargue of Bozeman will re-
spond. The meeting will close with an
