prophecie. About Edward VII.

The assumption by the new king Of
the style aud title of Edward VII in
evitably brings TO mind the old saying.
half history. half prophecy, concerning
the restoration of'the mass in England.
A lady, says the London Tablet, in n
letter to an evening contemporary,
quotes the following curious prophecy
referred TO by a correspondent of Notes
and Queries in 1880 as having been re-
peated to him before the accession of
Queen Victoria:
In three hundred years and moe
Sixth Edwards mass shall be laid low;
When Seventh Edward he shall reign,
Sixth Edwards mass shall be said again.
A different version OF the lines was
given by another correspondent in the
same year, and their authorship was
by him attributed to Cardinal Pole:
Sixth Edwards mass three hundred years and
more shall quiet be,
But in seventh Edwards reign again nstored
shall be.
1t is curious how widely diffused was
the idea that some religious change
should take place In England 300 years
after the reformation.
Still another version has been fur
nished us by correspondent.
For three hundred years and moe
Sixth Edwards mass shah be laid low;
When seventh Edward he doth reign,
Sixth Edwards shall be again.
The prophetic side of the ancient saw,
adds our correspondent, suggests many
hopes and is open to many interpreta-
tions. But within the limits OF the
Catholic church 1t certainly seems to
be in the way of working itself out
into a matter of fact, as may be seen
by glance at the map of the Catholic
doceses Of England and n reference to
the statistical statement as TO priests
and churches in the current Directory,
The latter official record assures us
that upward of 1850 masses are now
said daily In England.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1901.
SWIFT N SURE.

Without leaving any ground for the
possibility of censure for undue haste
or infringement of the rights of the
defendant, and without m%anifesting
ought that could be construed as vim
dictiveness, the court at Buffalo which
tried Czolgosz made it evident that it
would not tolerate or permit any of
the d~isgraceful proceedings that made
the Guiteau trial a disgrace to the
American judiciary. Placed into the
dock last Monday morning, Czolgosz
on the following afternoon heard the
verdict announced which consigns
him to the electric chair. For once
justice was done in haste and so far
as lies within the power of the law
the wrong which "a committed has
been righted. Sentence will be pro-
nounced today and it is safe to as
sumo that the time which will elapse
between its imposition and execution
will not be any longer than is permit
ted by decency and the minimum fixed
by law.
The refusal of the defendant to do
or say anything that would have been
of assistance to his attorneys greatly
simplified and expedited the trial.
What his motive vas for maintaining
silence when above all other times
it was to be expected he would give
speech is not known. But the supposi-
ton is that he did so for the purpose
of raising a doubt as to his sanity and
consequent responsibility for the
crime he committed. If such was
really the case, he played a foolish
game. The experts who examined
him as to his mental condition pro-
nounced him sane and his plea of
guilty, although withdrawn by his at
torneys, made under the p%retense of
not having understood the question
failed to help him, if it was made with
the hope that it would be accepted as
evidence of a weak mind. =
So far justice has moved with light
ming speed. Let it not retard its
movements or rest until the final act
in the terrible tragedy shall have
closed with the assassin sitting dead
in the chair awaiting him. To Justice
White and all connected with the case
the thanks of the nation are due for
not having permitted any of the trav'
estes which found place in the trial
of the assassin Guiteau. Although he
cam to the end which he merited, it
was only after one of the most dis
graceful and sickening exhibitions
ever enacted in any court in the civ
ilized world.

more boxing matches" and that the
"~plug-uglies" must show him that they
have some lawful method of getting a
living or pull out. At Anaconda notice
is given of the introduction at the
next meeting of the city council Of an
ordinance against pool selling and it's
passage is assured. Thus it will be
seen that while General Donovan has
seen fit to ignore these matters even
when brought to his attention by the
public press, and while the Helena
Independent acting as the generals
ile-closer, by covering up his rear
from attack, has used it's mighty pow
er to f1Out and ridicule the efforts of
the "2x4 press" to right these matters
those in whose behalf we labored
seem to have awakened to the neces-
sity of their own protection from the
evils that General Donovan could not
see, ever while looking at them. OF
course the Independent will say as
before, that the Encouragement did
not agree to act for every county and
city attorney in the state, and in reply
we will claim that inasmuch as he
did invade these offices and assume
these duties in certain known in
stances, he should not refuse to do so
in others.
And in any event he ought to have
something done for his ewes.

in this city, has been found guilty of
murder in the second degree. Tobin
stabbed Brady in the back several
times with a butcher knife during an
alteration over some flags that lob

the defense it was claimed that the

AS the time approaches for the con-
vening of congress the much debated
army canteen question is preparing
for another appearance on the stage.
Both the pro and ants are fortifying
themselves with ammunition for the
campaign and feeling is gradually as
Stunning the same intensity that mark
ed it when the matter came I'D for the
first time. Those who are determined
to regulate the morals of the soldiers
by legal enactment are showing the
same spirit Of intolerance that char
acterizes all who believe in absolute
prohibition and say all sorts of ugly
things about those who dare to differ
from them.
Down at Chicago a minister of an
ar%istrocratic Humboldt Park church
was compelled to resign, the dispatch
es say, because he would not go con-
trary to his convictions and say that
the canteen is not calculated to make
for temperance and good discipline in
the army. His congregation, Of course,
is composed of people who are fern

hold the contrary view as sinful and
utterly depraved. In New York a

has been abolished as one of the in

has increased among the soldiers.

the small end of the stick. With but

THINGS ARE MOVING.

Yellowstone Journal: A few weeks
ago the Helena Independent had the
Billings Gazette and the Yellowstone
Journal ION the carpet" because the
former had suggested to the attorney
general the propriety of enforcing the
plain statute against the so-called
boxing matches" which every one
knows are prize fights, and because
the latter sought to call the attorney
generals attention to the existence of
race-track gambling, the most PERM
cious of all kinds of gambling, while
it lasts. Practically and actually, the
papers named were told by the Inde-
pendent to shut up and mind their
own local affairs; that the attorney
general was at that time leisurely en-
gagged in the pursuit of the tiger
and did not care to have his attention
diverted from this absorbing sport.
Recent occurrences in Butte and Ana
conda, would seem, however, to indi-
cate that there are others who hold
the same opinions as those expressed
by the Gazette and Journal, and weary
of waiting for the lead of the attorney
general in the directions suggested,
the local authorities Of these places
have led off for themselves. At Butte.
County Attorney Breen has declared
that a large majority of the "pugi-
lists" harbored by Butte are plug

fights, and, having arrived at these
conclusions, that he will permit no

WOMAN'S NEW SPHERE.

While it has become the custom in
Montana to elect women to the posi-
ton of county superintendent, the
election of members of the gentler sex
as trustees of schools is still SO u
common that when a case of that
kind occurs it is worthy of comment.
Up in Gallatin county the people Of
the Chestnut school district became
tired of the lax manner in which the
successive trustees that they elected
conducted the affairs of the school
and they decided upon an innovation
and at the last election gave the posi-
lions to three m 1t required
only a short time to demonstrate the
wisdom of the change. Under masc1.
line administrations the school house

while such a thing as a fence had
never been deemed necessary in the
economics of the various boards. AS
soon as the ladies took charge they
had the building repaired, painted and
kalsomined, a fence was built and
other improvements made that sc
changed the appearance of things gen.

to stop and look twice before he could

more; they caused a partition to be
constructed which divided the old

is IT CONSCIENCE?

The Butte Miner hastens to endorse
the decision arrived at by Judge Tall
man of Seattle, who says: "Any for
eigner or alien applying to my court
for citizenship papers woh in any way
acknowledges that he favors mar
chism, is friendly to anarchists, or
has any leaning toward anarchistic
beliefs will be denied citizenship by
me-"
In it's comments on. the declaration
of Judge Tallman the Miner says it
is true that many men who are I'M
worthy Of the trust are made citizens
by the courts Of the land, and that
too often the examination CT appli-
carts for citizenship is Of a most per-
%furctory character. "Tbey go into
court" says the Miner, with two
witnesses who swear that the appli-
cart is of gcod moral character, and
the form is rushed through with, often
times without the alien getting any
thing like a just appreciation Of what
he has made oath to. Then some Of
the witnesses who swear to the for
eigneI's moral character should, judg-
ing from their appearance, be CON-
PEELED to bring certificates Of moral
rectitude on their own behalf before
being considered as reliable and trust
worthy witnesses"
Coming from such a source the COM
ment is as remarkable as it is Just.
nevertheless. The Miner certainly is
qualified to speak as an expert on the
subject of unworthy naturalization. 1t
is published in a city where more
unworthy and wrongful citizenship
applications have been and are con
stantly being granted than any place
err cities. such as New York and Chi
cego. But what gives rema1kableness
to the comment is the fact that the
Miner is supposedly an organ of the
party which has always been the
gamer by such questionable ~naturali-
cations and the very perfunctoriness
OF which it complains is to a large ex-
tent responsible for some Of the many
democratic victories in Butte which
it has given the Miner pleasure to
chronicle and crow over. @
Can it be that the Miner in it's old
age is becoming u%ngrateful, Or has
it had an awakening of conscience and
proposes to be really good and vir-
tues during the rest Of it's days?
