OUR POSITION.

The position of the New En-
terprise as a newspaper upon the
question Of a selection of a rep
resentative:in Congress from the
Third District seems TO De a
matter of interest to a few OF
our friends in this town and
county. Up to this good hour
no one of the three candidates
for that position has had the
endorsement OF this paper. The
e]itor of the paper, however has
had his preference and has not
failed TO give to any inquirer the
name of the candidate. of his
choice. We could not see why
it was any more essential for us
to give up columns of the paper
four stock in trade) to the advo-
cacy of a candidate than it was
for the merchant to hand out his
goods from his shelves free of
cost to any person who would
vote for the candidate of the
merchants choice. If any can
didate desired the use OF our
columns he could have it at the
same rate which other adver'
tisers pay for the same. Each
of them have had occasion to
use these columns aud each have
paid for the privilege.
1t Yas our hope that the pa,
per gould take no part in The
fgbt?SSWe personally esteem
each one Of the gentlemen whC
aspire to represent the district
They are all excellent men, gooC
citizens and possessed of ability
sufficient to creditably represeu
MS in congress. We have no muC
o throw at either of them ant
We shall not borrow any 70
hat purpose.
Because of our silence in thi
matter we have been accused U
being lacking in ''backbone"au'
OF not having the courage t
state our position. To the kim
friends (0 who have made thes
accusations we say in all kind
ness, "you are mistaken Gu
choice Of the three candidates
William B. Lamar and for hir
we shall work and vote. W
have made the choice deliber
ately and for reasons emlnentl
satisfactory to our mind. W
shall support him without NOR
ey and without price" becaus
we believe that his public serv
ces entitle him to promotion
We believe him to be thorough
fitted by nature and training t
successfully conscientiously an
with distinction discharge tn
duties of the Office to which b
aspires. Fol- this and other re;
sons we give our support to M
Lamar.

CONSISTENT DEMOCRATS.

In Florida for some years past
the democratic party has been
split in two-one side represent
ed by the masses, the common
people, so called-the other
side by the plutocrats, corpora
tionists or capitalists. WITHIN
the party lines have these two
wings or factions waged war
against each other, each striving
to gain the control of party
machinery, legislation and pow.
err. The masses of the people
have thus far succeeded in Keep
ing on top in most of the coun-
ties, but in some parts OF tine
State the plutocrats and capital
lists have succeeded in getting
in their representatives who,
true to their instincts have not
failed to jump when their bosses
cracked the whip.
We have no objection to a
man who fights for his cause
conscientiously and from a sense
of duty. We claim the right
to our own opinions and accord
the same right to the man whose
opinions are opposed to ours
We will strive to uphold our
ideas and expect our opponent
to do the same, and because
William B Lamar represents the
wing of the democratic party tC
which we give our allegiance
the common people, if yo'
please-he shall have our sup
port in his race tor Congress. II
his public life Mr.. Lamar ha'
been always consistent. He ha'
ever been found upon the sid
of the masses as opposed to tn
classes. He has been a consist
ent democrat. So has Mr.
Myers, but the latter gentlema
ia his public life has been tn
representative of the classes in
stead of the masses. Mr.. Lama
is of the people, Mr.. Myers is
the plutocrats and corporation
/ lists. Both gentlemen are COZ
, Isistent, both adhere closely
the principles which the
r espouse and we doubt not bl
e that both are honest in the
I convictions. So are we, al
t because Mr., Lamar's conviction
suit us better than the convi
5 tions of Mr.. Myers we will wo
= aud vote for Mr.. Lamar.

The Hon. John G. Avery, OF
Pensacola, is the first Myers
man on record. says the Capital,
who has the courage and indie
pendeuce to admit that attorney
general Lamar is not to be
blamed for running for one office
while holding another. In a re-
cent address in Pensacola Mr..
Avery, who is president OF the
Myers.Mallory club, declared in
effect, that there was not a man
in the State who would give up
one good thing until he was sure
Of another.

ANOTHER IDOL SMASHED.


In their desperation those who
are opposing Judge w. B. Lamar
in his candidacy for Congress
are making use OF everything
possible which will aid in the
slightest degree to encompass
his defeat. All sorts of tales
are being told about a fee OF
fourteen thousand dollars which
is to be paid to Judge John W.
Malone for assistance in that
famous tax case against the +.
C. & p. Ry., and right here In
Madison we have heard men
speak slightiugly of Judge
Lamar, of his legal ability and
of the necessity the State was
put to in the employment OF
counsel to assist him in the
prosecution of this case. Now
this is all excellent campaign
thunder. The mere talking it is
sufficient to cause the uniform
ed to thing there is something
| in it, but how careless the insti-
gators Of thi, so.t o: clap trap
must be. They evidently forgot
that there existed such a thing
as records. BY all means they
should have informed themselves
before springing so great a SEN
sation--a sensation which might
have caught some votes for their
own candidate If it had not been
that the records are against
them. These records show that
in 1881 the State Legislature
passed a joint resolution requir
ing the then Governor and
Comptroller to institute lega
proceedings against these rail
roads for the collection of the
taxes for the years specified
The resolution also provided TO
the employment by the State o

Seattle, Dec. 1S.-This morning
one of the most horrible accidents in
the history of Ballard happened at
the Nichlos shingle mill, whereby
MI. Stratton, block sawyer, lost his
life. Stratton was caught on revolv-
shaft which makes 600 revolutions
per minute. The man was whipped
about until every bone in his body
was broken, his clothes torn to
shreds, and his mangled body de-
scended to platform below. A win
dow opposite the line shaft was brok-
en- by the revolving body Both arms
were torn from the body, the legs
horribly mangled and the head
was partly crushed. Stratton leaves
a widow and one child.

WANTED IN SPOKANE.
Officers Searching for Missing
Prosecuting Witness.

officer William Weir of the Spo-
kane police force was in the city yes
terday, in search of William Wilson,
who is wanted as a witness by the
police of that city Wilson, while
visiting Spokane last week was bun
coed out of $25 by three smooth con-
fidence men, who were afterward ar
rested and identified by their victim.
The prisoners were lodged in Jail
and a date set for their hearing, but
when the time arrived Wilson failed
to appear against them and could not
be found. There was strong case
against the three men and the police
were desirous of securing a convic-
tion, as it would prove a warning to
other confidence men who of late
were getting numerous. 1t was sup
posed, however, that some friends of
the prisoners saw Wilson, and by
giving back the amount stolen, and
perhaps some on the side, they per
suaded him to leave town and not
appear at the trial, at least this was
the view of the matter taken by the
Spokane police, and they Immediate
ly instituted a search after the miss
ing man. 1t was learned that he had
come to Kalispell, and Officer Weir
try and persuade him to return
Wilson, however, could not be found,
and it is thought he has gone to Shell
| by Junction, as he had stated that
that was his objective point.

His Recent Ordination at Spokane
Has Unearthed Former More or
Less Bespattered Career in the
Catholic Church-He Also Is From
Missouri and Brand From The
Burning.

Spokane, Dec. 1S.-A sensation fol-
lowed the ordaining of Miles Smyth
into the Epicopal ministry on Sunday
morning. The preacher was fore
most member of the Catholic church.
1t has developed that he was once
known as Father Dominick Wagner,
and was an inmate of the Bennedic-
tine ministry at Conception, Mo, and
was prosecuted at ST. Joseph, Mo.
According to a report from st. JOS
eph, he was prosecuted for the abduc-
tion of a 16-yearold girl, Maude Stei-
del, whom he married and divorced,
and who is now trained nurse in the
training school of the Sacred Heart
hospital, a local Catholic institution.

His short legs and wide breeches are
admirable adjuncts to his nose, his

the vim, which in winter in apt to

The Frieslander, however is taller,

the other members of that respectable
Anglo Saxon family to which we our
selves belong, quite as much as his
provincial speech and his blue eyes.
He is a most masterful creature when

nothing of making score of miles

Maud Bevan, alias Mrs. David Hun

Chief of Police Travis of that city,
who arrived here Tuesday night for.
that purpose. The man in the case
was not wanted by Chief Travis, and
he was allowed his liberty. The wo-
man was wanted on the charge of
grand larceny, being accused of the
embezzlement of $3.50 while acting
as treasurer of the Yeomen lodge of
that city She took advantage of the
ter left Helena on Saturday bound for
Seattle. Shortly after they left the
defalcation was discovered, and the
case. placed in the hands of the police
who learned which way the guilty
couple were bound and also learned
that it was their intention to stop off
a day in Kalispell. A message to
that effect was wired at once to Sher-
iff Hand, who placed them under
arrest at the motel National, where
they had registered as David Hun
ter and wife.
Since their arrest they were both
quite non-committal and refused Nto
say anything regarding the crime for
which they were wanted, and the Off
GERS here were ignorant of the true
situation until the arrival of Chief
Travis. The Bevan womn was far
from prepossessing and it is strange
that the Yeomen of the Capital city
allowed her to fill the position of
trust that she did.
Hunter, according to the statement
of Chief Travis, bore anything but an
enviable reputation among the police
of Helena, and put in his time hang
ing around the redlight district.
The woman made no difficulty over
making the return trip, and she and
her companion, while at the depot,
were in earnest conversation while
awaiting the coming of No. 4. Hun
ter remained in Kahspell after her
departure.
