THE MONKEYS OF MoNr,S,.

All the fools are not dead. 4 great
many of them are members of the
Montana Legislature which adopte, on
thursday resolution demanding a
most rigid Investigation of the election
OF Cabot Lodge as United states '?cn
ntor from massachusetts, on the ground
that he was elected because of .,or-
rupt bargain mnde with certain Demo
cratic members of tho ATassnchure,ts
Legislature The resolution rt,ites
that this Assembly views with alb
horrence and disgust the action o.. the
alleged Democrats in voting for a. Re-
publican. We regard such action as
prima facie evidence OF corrupt I,ar-
gain and we call upon those who rep
resent Montana in the United states
Senate to demand" etc. etc
The resolution further sets forth
these principles of the men in tine
Montana Legislatures:
We regard any member of any l,g-
islativc assembly who votes for one OF
opposite political faith for United
states senator as traitor to his con-
stltncnts and man UNIT to remain ms
member Of any Legislature.
we regard any man who accepts
an election tainted with such unmis :
taxable fraud and corruption as I'M
1T and unworthy to hold tho high Of
fice OF Senator In the Congress Of
the United States"
There was never anything more re
markabio than that. even in these
crazy times. The action OF the Mon
tana Legislature was not only impu-
went but indecent. In Jerusalem the
people had tho habit of sweeping he
fore their own doors.

done business at his present stand for
twenty-threc years. I'm that time AIR.
Hollander has opened his store each
morning a o'clock and kent 1t open
until the regular weekday closing
hour. lie has not been absent from his
business a week in the twcnty-three
years. including every trip he has taken
within that time" The News says that
his removal from Harrisonburg is the
only thing that could take away his
fine patronage. Mr.. IIollander Is a re-
spected member OF the jewish colony
in the city which he is about to leave.
His record is ono of which he has
cause to be proud. Punctuality Is not
