Last Saturday night an answer was
filed by The respondents. 4. Nichols and
F. D. Stoop In the hrst ward election
controversy. A. we understand II. the
answer contains no special fsatursa: the
most material point being probably the
allegation that two votes were cast for
the No-uesnss ticket in Ward No. by
persons not residents OF the ward.
On Monday the attorneys for q. M.
Hall. rslstos. filed their replication and
the case has now reached the stage
where there should bs an early hearing
and determination by the district court.
A motion asking for an early hearing
was to have been presented To Judge

in Pueblo that day. so that matter went
over. and date for trial has not been set.

A DEMOCRATIC PRAYER.

Of social chaos and carved the Demo
cratic party out of it with the trench
ant point of his political penknife; we
come tumbling down, nearly breaking
our necks, this morning, for the pur-
pose of confessing our political sins.
But Glorious Spirit, We will just be ev-
erlastingly dad-gummed if We know
what to say We confess that we don't
know what to confess. We are in the
middle of more sorts of bad fix than
we ever have been before in our lives.
We are afraid to confess that we ev-
CT voted for Cleveland because thou
knowest that Cleveland points to thy
holy name with pride. We are afraid
TO confess that we have hollered and
voted for Bryan, for Billy claims clos
er kinship to thee than Grover. Great
Guiding Power, if We haint got our
selves into the middle of a devil of a
fix we would just like to know the rea-
son. What are We to do? How can we
get out of this awful delimma? Canst
thou let fall one ray of political light
to illuminate the dark and crooked
places in our thorny pathway? If we
have shot too many niggers, told too
many lies and stuffed too many ballot
boxes to merit thy favor, then what
in the name of politics are we to do?
We confess that we are just fairly
dying to do something and We amt
so very particular what it is. Just
anything for a change Because thou
knowest we hollered and followed
Cleveland till there wasn't any meat
on our political bones. so to speak,
Then thou knowest we ripped around
after Bryan and free silver till one
could hold us up toward the sun and
see the fish worms OF political rotten
ness wiggling in our innards. We have
fought for harmony till there amt
nothing to fight for now but a bad
smell. If We don't need help nobody
ever did. If we don't get some help
pretty soon We will never need it, for
We are just positively petered politi-
cally
We beseech thee, Most Holy DEM
ocratic Ghost, to toss few crumbs to
comfort us. If thou canst afford to
shower very profuse shower of COM
fort on our heads, then just let slip
small smile that We may know that
thou approvest our ways. We want
TO feel like somebody would smile on
us. The radicals have gagged us with

The defeat in the house committee
or public lands by vote of nine TO
four. of the Lacy bill, providing for
the repeal of the timber and stone act,
is received with satisfaction by all
friends of reclamation. 1t is claimed
that repeal of the law at this time would
have caused such heavy loss of rev.
enue as to cripple seriously the rec
lamation fund. two-fifths of which
comes from this source, All the val
liable timber land. it is agreed. or
nearly all, has been put into forest re-
serves already, and the need for the
appeal was not at all apparent. Ac-
cOrding to a Washington special to
this Great Falls Leader this is the
measure which Secretary Hitchcock
spoke of when the Sun river delega-
ton from northern Montana was in
Washington. The secretary informed
them that, if the repeal bill passed,
not only would Sun River fail to re-
ceive the $250,OOO promised, but two.
fifths of the other projects now under
way would be seriously crippled

Senator Dolliver of Iowa made an
able address in the senate last week
in support of the Deliver Hepburn
rate bill combating the position taken
by Senator Foraker that the bill was
unconstitutional. Mr.. Doliver denied
the charge that he was leaning toward
socialism. He did not desire that the
government take charge of the bust
ness of the country. He believed fully
ia the right of property to protection.
Yet he asserted there is a storm

when the citizens of the United States
are going to make an inquiry into the
right by which some men in a few
years make hundreds of millions of
dollars. rendering them capable of ev-

In reply to letter Of Governor
Toole making inquiry as to the status
of the deaf and dumb asylum in rela-
ton to the bond issue, Attorney Gen
erai Galen renders a lengthy decision
in which he holds that institution to
be an educational school. The attor'
ney general makes some strong points
to sustain his view. In part he says:
IF this institution is mereEy- an 'asy-
lum,' that is, place of refuge where
those afflicted with deafness, dumb
ness and blindness may be properly
cared for, why is admission limited
10 those between the ages of and Fl
years. and limited also to those who
are capable of receiving useful in
slruction, and the period of attend
ance fixed at ten years? 1t is very
apparent that this is a state institu-
ton of learning. and it is the only in
stitution of learning within the state
where children who are so unfortun-
ate as to be afflicted in the manner
above stated can be taught, and it Is
also apparent that the funds of this
state institution of learning should
receive the same protection and care
as the funds of any other state insti.
tuition of learning, for the object and
purpose of the school is exactly the
= n nj hn a
school, the state university. or any
other school, the sole purpose being
to educate the child and make of him
a useful citizen.
