THE SLOW COUNT. If the count of votes for Tuesday's elatimo comes in at anail's pace, the pub-li ought to bear in mind the fact "a the slstem is something quite new i er people, and due allowanes sbhe.l be made for the length of the balt with its meventy-odd names. Ada, the fact that the vote promised is be etsmely lose doubtless led the and udges to be very cautious ia their work, as a few slight errors in Une pree#aets might have great signif .-sas in deciding questions of serious weight. With the election ive days to the rear of us, the public is maturally impatient to know the fate t all the eandidates. It is far better, Sbwever, that the count be tardy than that errors creep in through aa h baste. In all probability, the rsult on the etire ticklet will not be known until the oakiial count Is It will not oon happen, however, that ows from all the precincts will be so Iag withheld.

Is. patches received the day after election gave graphic aoounts of the jubilant manner in which the town was cele brating Its victory. Late telegrams say that the Oklahoma movement of last spring promises to be outrivaled in the real estate boom that has attacked the new capital. It is reported that prop erty valued at 00,000 changed hands . PFriday and that bullding lots worth ems hundred dollars advanced within forty-eight hours to ten tinmes that pri. Evidently Pierre is about to suffer all the ills that aftlict towns where the worst forms of real estate speculation get a grip. Not very long hence, there will he the inevitable "last man" -and the lndications are that he will be a-nerous in PIlrre,-who will be left high and dry with town lots not worth ea.-fifth of what was paid for them. Of course, the public is not expected to have any sympathy for this individual. who squanders his substance on dirt at fancy prices, but the evil results always abde on the town itself. spoiling its edit., checking its growth and robbing I at that thrifty air while every really Mpiepsr. owu is entitled to wear.

When Anaconda in made the capital of Mon tana. ome three yean hene,. we may be sure that no such high-flyinir real estate nontuif*w will accompany the 'event. Anaconda Is in for another election whieb wlU be held on Thursday of this week. This time it Is a question of bonding for a Pwer. As a special at tractionm nteadmed for the day, the man agment hopes to announce the pres enee of United State Marshal (..Wash iugton Irvin.

GO FOR IT! The Helena Jounral is hard at work trying to find out why its party lost Lewis and ('lark county. It wants scores of republicans in Helena put on the toasting irons right off. That is right: go for 'em and investigate every last citisen who didn't vote your way. Turn the rascals out of the county. l'ut them at bard labor for fir fteen min utes over in the nilver How tunnel dis trict! That ought to be a good enough niberia for any republican. If halt the Helena Journal says is true--and that's a llberal allowance - more than six hundred Lewis and Clark republicans aetually sold out on election day. The nTAuAnAr is tempted to print a whole column of reading published by the Journal. giving interviews with Helena republi eans who roundly denounce their own party associates and call them all sorts of hard names. One republican says it was boodle, another says "the repub licans tried to run a canpaign without money (Y) and failed." Another ob serves that the democrats "engaged ive hundred republicans to work on election day" (Probably these are the fellows who were coereed by the wicked managers of mines to stay under ground all day). Still another republiean remarks "that one thousand republicans were hired to go out of town." hear also what our republicuan 'hair man 4eligman saith: "I was rather too busy with the state campaign to keep eases on affairs in the city." Nerved Sright. It you had wagged your tongue less in false testimony about decent men this side the range and attended to your own rotten bor ough with its vote which yoe confess to be grossly corrupt, you might have saved something out of the universal wreck and have come nearer to sharing the triumph with the democrats. The HIlena Journal is going to re form its own party. That's right, nervous neighbor. It's too big a Job and you'll fail at it: but you might as well tool with it as with anything else., and legislative politics won't trouble you this year. The farce in the whole business is that on one page the Jour. aual strongly claims a victory, while on another it quotes the reasons given by republicans to show why the battle was lost. The aamemenst rolls are long de layed. They should have been in the handsof the county commlssioners long ago. in order that ample time be al lowed for any readjustments that com mend themselves tothe members of the board. In view of the delay, the com missioners will be obliged to make short work with the rolls, and they will very soon be barred from raising the assessment on any taxpayer in the county. The taxes must all be paid in before I.ecember 1, otherwise the per centage is added; so that it is going to be a snug fit all around. There may be good reason for the delay, but it has not been given. The commissioners meet again on the 18th of this month. AS TO SILVER. The workld of trade is beginning to realize that it is wrong to keep putting up the price of gold by the depression of prices for all other commodities. and the evil entailed by the singlp standard system are commanding at tent ion more and more. It has already been shown that the friends of a double standard have next to nothing to expect from any results of international consultation. The monetary conference held in Paris. with its non-committal conclusions, prove as much. Iiscussion that may re sult in more direct good will probably oone out of the congress of bankers held in Kansas City, where silver had a good representation. When Montana comes to the election of two democratic senators a few weeks hence, great care should be taken to t impress on the eastern ublic the fact r that men are sent by this state to the I federal senate who have very decided t convictions on the silver question. Of course, in the mind of our own people r there will be no doubt as to the opinions held regarding silver by any man delegated to represent Montana in r Washington. At the sanme time. formal s action ought to be taken regarding leg a slation about silver at the time our senators are chosen, not necessarily for Spbliestion as the newspapers say, h at home, but as a gtuaraty to peo i ple east of the Missouri river that this b tobe nudes a aimin ~Mew tasMid ta" ouri amintmr am. to woik faithf&Ufy toward Uhemm we an baw. in view.I STANDARD TOPICS.

So they opened up the barrels of the bnodle and dkl divvy up to the hbov. And the boys arose and loaded dtheir pockets and were glad. And there was hoose in Gilead. And they sent also and hired certain strosm nmen of the East to cone and he captains in their army; evena Thomas, the Chump, who dwelleth in the land where no strong drink is save only ill the inter- most parts of the cupboard behind the door; Roswell also, surnasmed in the He. brew tongue L)amphool, which being In terpreted i to say rats.

And it canme to pass that in all the re glon around about was there never before a sock which seemed to sock with the sanw sock with which our sock did s·ak.
