That the rpbalns In th senate at Hlssn should have prwmed toorgan iee by a vote that is neither quorum nse majority, does not surprise us. . iLntended to do it from the first Wourse is a flagrant outrage, but so was the stealing of the tanel precinct. The only difference is that t took the managers a good while to tempt Mr. ItIckards into a dity and a dishonest act. The con. pinray finally captured him, however, and the SRTANARD deplores the fact. ntter than any man in Montana, Mr. Ri.kards knows that be is playing a eoward's part. But what of it. He hod to match his consclence againt his tical ambition. lie is Joined to his Let him alone. Next week will see two republicans Nett week wll se two republicans picked out for membership in the fed l-- senate. They will not be honest rspresantatives of the people, they are he ofspring of fraud. Their election will signify that men like Mr. Rickards .vor a precedent whieh, forever her- after, will make every precinct in Mon. t-a. the easy prey of any designing rascal who wants to fix his fangs on my eo.le in the people's glit. The conspiracy cannot move too .apidly. It may ripen sueessfully, be eims majorities do not count in any of e- plans. No newspaper ever dared to pt into type a more cowardly utter ame than the lines printed yesterday in the Helena Journa which say that there is nothing in the constitution of Montana requiring a majority on the p--rt of the legislature in the selection -[ temporary omcers." There is no telling what the demo atats will do; but by all means, let the republicans carry this dirty fight ovre= the enatorship out of the state. The people will rejoice at its removal as they would welcome release from pesti SE *l . . ·f *b biu.m If tse plans of Uhe reputbUaans ar earri ot, (alonel manders will be de btastd a political Imbecile will be the eaststant for the east side, and, accord hS to tme present slate, the west side repablleam will send the rottenest rneeidt in Montana. IT SEEMS TO BE CARRItO. In all probability. Butte will put the Gaymor alarm service in operation. The system has no standing with men who know anything about fre alarm srvice in any leading dcty of the ITnited tates, but the scheme has a majority la the eouncil, although the leading bsiness men in the city are opposed to t. Something has been said about the extra money which Butte must invest in the plant itself, as against the origi nal cost of the (lamewell. Of course. this item is of small account, if the system itself assures a servies superior to that which the (lamewell can furnish. But our friends in B.tte will discover that the cost of maintaining the (-aynor will exceed by hundreds of dollars annually the ex pense involved in operating the rival system, and this is an item which the average taxpayer will be dispused to take into account. However, the subject isn't worth dis euasing. as the (aynor has secured a majority iun the council and t hat aplnpar to mettle it. Ilutte as a rich city and can afford to experiment. That's what it will do in adopting the alarm sys tem which has a majority of the alder men. NO USE FOR IT In the rump house at Helena Mr. Bray has put in notice respecting a bill to prohibit prize flghting. W1'hat good can come from doing that Y Montana has a stringent law on the subject already. It is very clear in all its pro visions. It does not allow prize rilng encounters with gloves of any sort. al though newspaper reports have a habit of talking about the "lightest-weight gloves allowed by law." It would be impossible for Mr. Bray to devise a more complete prohibition than that which the law of the state already provides. Then, back of this, tlhere is an older law in Montana, originally in tended to prevent duels, but which in each of its sections is directly applica his to the prize ring. That law says that the man who killed Ward is guilty of murder in the tirst degree. There's no lack of law on the sub ject, and any enactments which Mr. Bray proposes must be entirely super geous. What Silver Bow needs is pub lic sentiment that will bring up with a mighty short turn the men who are gnorc of the law but *ho do not forth with produce Gallagher. That this nma should be beyond the rsem of an alert pole is alaply preposterous. Add the fact tht he was permitted to escape to the ether astomadlg tfat that the Inquest that wre them iveeous, and Mr. aray hae a altua.kem wkida eal ft9r smethig a good del mora energe than nw and needl M Iaw. The fact that allUgher got away bringl into atmolute disrepute the po Uie autboritle of Stlver Bow eoonty. Thie exose given out for a seert In quest and the exclusion of reporters Is not aeeepted by the public as an excse given in good faith. That misleading plea has been worked too many times to be received as genuine. If (alt!. xher is not soon proouced the pubUle will believe-and there will be plenty of warrant for it-that some of the Silver How ofcials have a direct interest in aiding the flight of this man. ln smothering the truth and in putting obstructions in the pathway of iustice.

It men alleged to be related to the atroelties of this heinmo afalr get off on O1D bail. how much will have to be put up for Gallagher it once he is broight into court ? And what earthly wse has Montana for any more law rel tive to the prise ring ON WRONG GROUND. I Iweading republican newspapers in the East state the silver question as if 6 it were an issue between the federal treasury and the "silver ring." They f assume that the liberal treatment of the a metal I. fraught with all sorts of dan- a ger to the country, that the nation can c stand a little of it but not very much, * and that the "silver ring" would wisely take what Mr. Windom offers rather than run the risk of getting nothing at b all a It does not occur to these people that the question has merit or that it in volves the interests of any eltizen out side of a little group of men who are rated to be owners of big silver prop erties in the West and who, these re publican papers assume, must be pa tronised by the general government for the polities there may be in it. HIow can the camse of silver be intel ligently presented to these eastern writers? The vital issue has been eloquently and honestly put. It has been shown that the question is of small aceount so far as the silver-producing class is concerned. The wrong done to the vast debtor class by legalation which debased the currency has been distinctly pointed out. The fact that short-weight silver means short weight in ezact proportion for every product of feld and farm has been taken into the account, but when figures are brought out to show that the fall in the value of products has been in precise ratio with the degradation of silver, the ready and illogical response is that other causes are mainly operative in in fluencing the value of these commodi ties. IP mminantiv tha Awht fnr milver I. IPr-eminently. the fight for silver is the light for the vast debtor class, and that is the great body of people as against the bond-holding ollgarchy. If indeed these leading republican news papers have the right view of the situation, if it is true that silver is to find favor merely out of compliment to the "silver ring"- -where ever or whatever that may be---then honest newspapers should stoutly op pose even what Mr. Windom offers, since they assume him to be prompted merely by a desire to placate the silver "hS't. £ ,.I hlow strangely in contrast all this with the plank framed into the national republican platform, last year, which said: "the republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver money, and condemns the effort of the democratic administration to demone tize silver." To-day we have one great newspaper in the East patronizing the question because the "silver producer ought to be considered," another that "heartily approves" the opinion of Pres ident Hlarrison that silver coinage, ex cept under proper restraint, "would be disastrous to all bulsiness interests and harmful to the silver industry itself," while the most influential of the repub lican illustrated weeklies in the land expresses its amazement that the silver advocates should actually propose to give silver a place in the currency that would make it equal to gold! MORE OF IT. They say that young Mr. Harrison has an ownership interest in Frank Leslie's weekly newspaper. P robably that is not true. Mr. Arkell represents the control of that paper, and the story in the East as that he simply hooked larrison to his journalistic chariot as a good advertisement for the hour. However that may be, here are a few lines of editorial comment in Leslie's: It war asn outrag. w.hen (toverntor Ttle re fused to miin the tcartitrate of ele~tin of (ono igrrssman t'arter, who lad a Iluarality of over Iaui.

And then the whole baad of patriots will roll their eyes heaveeward like Benjamin Harrison and say with neo tious fervor. "The Lord Did It r oI's servs. .. LoIl IUa It l' STANDARD TOPICS.
