From the look of the preliminary
skirmishing at Helena it is very doubt
full IL a single member Of the legisla-
turc can pass through the fire without
being scorchcd i'm some manner, or for
one reason or another charged with be-
ing moved by Interior motives to take
the position on the senatorial question
which he may choose. The Standard
and the DAILY crowd are charging Clark
with buying everything in sight neces-
sare to secure his election; the Helena
Record freely says that members are
ont for the coin; the Helena lndepen
dent has had several fits the past week
over the possibility that senator Carter
will succeed himself and that Clark
will not he elected as soon rs antici-
pated, If at all; the Helena Herald
charged the Amalgamated and Stan
dard oil with being in the market for a
senator, and so il goes. Each faction
charges one of the others with solicit
ing bribery. Perhaps the only way a
man can maintain his honor is by quit
ting the crowd and coming home: even
then some would doubtless charge he
was paid for going away. 1t Is a sad
commentary on Montana politics,

PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY
JOHN N. VR0OMAN, Editor aud Proprietor.
HALSEY R. WATSON, Business Manager.
The fight is now on at Helena. Look
out for roorbacks of all descriptions.

1t is very rare these days when a re-
publican paper in the state of Montana
can quote with approval an utterance
OF the Helena Herald, but the following
may be said to be nearer the truth than
anything the Herald has inserted in its
columns for months past: I'm voting
for Mr.. Hedges for speaker the repub-
licans bestowed a well deserved com
pliment upon a worthy man. While il
is too early to forecast republican leader
ship in the house of Representatives, rs
there are a number of very able men of
that political faith, it is safe to predict
that no one will command more respect
and confidence than Mr., Hedges.

day may differ from those Of forty
years ago is no cause for charging that
these men are in the employ of or in,
fluenced by the moneyed classes of the
country. We are sure the editor Of the
Democrat can find a sufficient number
of subjects TO comment upon without
again falling into the error of his first
number.

Judgment can any one have about the
artistic merits of a picture who has no
sense of perspectiye-no comprehensive
idea of natural forms? Writing is draw
ing from copy, and correct writing is
simply proof of correct observation Of
the copy. In that sense anybody who
can learn to write can learn to draw.
Drawing is simply pecline writing, and
ut times more to be desired as an ac-

education, than the art of word writing.
