The late Alexander Salvini was once

pie device Of elevating platform on
four posts When the gravedigging
scene was reached draft of cold air
blew up through the aperture in the
stage and not only caused the grave
diggers' teeth to chatter, but played
freaks with their garments.
Salvini, entering with Horatio, heard
from the grave only strange tumble
of words bitten in pieces by the first
clowns clicking teeth. But when he
saw the loose garments Of the work
men Tapping jocularly In the breeze
the irrelevant sight was too much for
him, and laughter checked his speech

General John c. Black as his choice
for the presidential candidate on the

N IMPROVING

The latest news from the sick bed
of Senator Hanna is to the effect that
he is slowly improving.
His sickness has caused wide
spread interest. which shows that no
mar in public life. unless it be the
president. has made more or stronger
friends in the past few years thar
Senator Hanna. From being the most
roundly abused man in the nation he
has become one of the most highly
esteemed. He is not only a polite
ian of a high order but he is develop.
ing statesmanlike qualities that rem
der his services of great value to the
people, who are not slow in showing
their appreciation of his worth.
Even partisan rancor stops at his
sick bed and his political opponents
extend sympathy and earnestly hope
for his recovery.
This is the true American spirit
and is evidence that after all parti
| sanship is but a thin veil. The ma
ton can not afford to lose men of the
Hanna stamp whatever their political
convictions may be.

Scheme Of Parcels Post Bill.

In presenting a number of indict-
ments against what is known as the
parcels post bill, now pending before
congress, The Interstate Grocer. OF
st. Louis, declares that the measure
Is "a fool arrangement whereby the
government is to pay freight for the
department stores" That is the kerr
mel of the controversy. The scheme
smacks strongly of a legislative job
in the interests of the big eastern
mail order houses. which are invad-
ing Montana as well as every other
section Of the country. Maintained in
crowded centers of population, they
employ the cheapest labor and adver-
tise ability to undersell the local mer-
chants in the smaller towns of the
country, although they do not always
give their customers that benefit
Now they are asking an additional
advantage in making the government
pay part of their freight. The local
merchant has to pay his own trans.
%portation charges.
Montana retail merchants apparent.
ly are alive to the threatened evil.
Several months ago they organized a
state society for the purpose of fight
ing legislation OF this character. It
is presumed the society is conducting
a campaign in its own way, but mer,
chants are not the only ones inter.
ested. The question is an important
one to the general public. and steps
should be taken to lodge an emphatic
protest with the Montana delegation
in congress against this vicious bill,
which Is fathered. by the way, by
Representative Hearst. You will not
find much about the bill in the Hearst
papers, however. II apparently is a
little matter that Mr.. Hearst
and his department store advertisers

A law of the character proposed by
the. bill would keep the postoffice de-
