The Inter Mountain has put it's foot
in it. Yesterday evening, feeling some.
what gay, and withal being somewhat
reckless, we seized upon one of the
sincere endeavor to reciprocate the SEN
timent it seemed to express and the idea
pleasant comments upon the independ-
ent democratic party and incidentally
cents" Humor never was our forte. We
have never yet essayed a joke or
serious affair after all. And so in this
instance we have innocently stepped on
temporary the Standard, which retail
ates this morning by quoting figures
from the late election returns in Silver
Bow county to show that While it is true
that the Independent democratic party
does look like thirty cents" the repub-
lican party is not so much itself.
We sorrowfully bow in recognition Of
the truth of the Standards citation and
| confess that we are not especially proud
| of the record made by the Silver Bow
| republicans. They had ticket made

port. We have heretofore touched upon

the republican party and it is not neces-
sary to go over them again, further than
to say that as time passes and we are
able to get clearer view of the events

some sort of understanding or co-opera-

A SHORT CUT TO GLORY.

This amusing story from the chroni-
cles of an English rural town illustrates
the danger of kindling ambition in the
rural breast
An officer of Yorkshire yeOmanry
regiment in an address to his troops
made a stirring allusion to the medals
worn by some army veterans in the
ranks. One of the volunteers afterward
went home in a very thoughtful frame
of mind. and the next morning he came
on parade with several medals on his
breast. Said the officer:
Il didn't know you had been in the
regulars"
mo, I amt" said the man.
well, how about the medals. my good
fellow? They can't be yours
Cant they?" the man promptly re-
piled. AYE, but they be. My old coo
won 'em all at Otley cattle show"

ITS VENUS.

It seems it isn't Mars at all
That strives so hard to us to call,
But Venus.
OF course the queerish signals she
Doth throw across the canopy,
Must mean us.
If on the earth the queen hath smiled
1t ought to fill our hearts with wild
ElatiOn.
OF course if she doth break the ice
What can it mean but just a nice
Filtration?
Fair lady of the upper air,
We bow before your beauty rare,
Sweet Venus!
Then wave your lamp that we may know
On this dull ball so far below
You really mean us.

HASTY.

1t now appeared that the agrarian was
well posted as to current prices in staple
articles.
Il could get a gold brick just like this
in New York for $780," he declared,
"and you ask me $4,000 here"
The Chicago swindler did not lose his
temper.
"Of course" he explained. without
trace of Impotence, 'tha further you get
away from Paris the more plaster Of
paris costs!'
The intensely rational agrarian saw the
force of this at once, and graciously
admitted that he had been hasty.-De-

Lotteries have long existed a. Mon

have thr.ved there even as they Aid in
New Orleans until abolished by law.
Montreal has three lotteries proper
and four policy establishments. which,
besides having daily policy drawings,
have periodical lotteries dis well. The
as can be judged from the fast that it
is conservatively estimated. that the
people contributed s24o00oO annually.
and only received back perhaps about
one-half in prizes. Each year there
have been ITO straight lottery aud 2,5o4
policy drawings. The prices of these
tickets ranged from 10 cents to 81. These
tickets were openly hawked about the
streets, and We're sold in every cigar
store and cheap eating place in the city.
While the lotteries have been patron
bed by all classes of society. the poorer
classes We're, of course. the ones who
suffered most. The law did not openly
sanction lotteries, but a loop-ho was
found in the following section of the
criminal code eNempting the class speci-
fled from the penalties provided:
Any distribution by lot among the
members. or ticket holders. of an incor-
porated society established for the en-

Upon this t1msy founda ton, great

The origin of the evil dates back many
years. when the ST Jean Baptiste So
ciety inaugurated series of drawings
for the benefit of the building it pro-
posed to erect in Montreal as the home
Of the society. known as the Monument
National. This lottery continued for
years. and had many smaller imitators,
until several years ago the evil became
SO pronounced that the drawings We're
stopped by a movement from within the
society itself. At that time the specu-
lation in these tickets had become
craze, and it was shown that the opera

larly invested a large portion of their
earnings in the rawlings. 1t was even
developed that an enterprising youth in

The campaign against the lotteries
has been a long and hard one. but the
right has finally triumphed.
In this connection it may be noted
that scheme is on foot to egalize lot
teries in Nevada Just how 1t could be
successfully worked out does not APP
pear, but the attempt ought to be
frowned down. Nevada has enough
troubles without borrowing any, and
her history is too bright to be sullied by
any such scheme in these days.
