THr Salt Lake Tribune is quite right I
in prophesying the ignominious failure t
of any attempt to unseat Brice and i

How would this ticket suit the repub

Charles S. Warren.
IT is hoped that Cyrus W. Field will 1
not live to see his son incarcerated in
Sing Sing. though the young man doubt- n
less deserves that punishment.
IT looks like a green Christmas in p
Helena. This, however, will have no con- t

REPUIrr1CAN newspapers will find
David B. Hill as effective in thwarting
the schemes of a republican majority in
the United States senate as in the
gerrymandered republican legislature of
New York.
THE. entertainments in the Star course
this year have been of unusual excel
lence. As the star attraction in the
list we suggest Sir Edwin Arnold, who
is now giving a course of readings in e
western cities.
SENATOIR QUAY was kind enough to
announce the other day that he would
not be a candidato for re-election. To
the people of Pennsylvania the an.
nouncement is of no interest. They
decided some time ago what to do with
him. _
Ton only room left for the political
ambitions of Jones of New York will be

and a proper expenditure of freight hbe

A cr.InrL suggests in tre Suni that the
name New York be chang.ed to Nork.
In view of the recent successes of that
town in securing the World's fair, buiil
ing the Grant monument, and getting
national conventions, we think Work
would be more signilicant and encour
aging.
A S.EATO' when asked why President
Harrison had not appointed a United
States judge to succeed the late udge
Sawyer, said that the president was
waiting until Stanford arrived. This
explanation will not be wholly satisfac
tory to Montana candidates for that
position. Mr. Russell Harrison, a Mon
tanian, is in Washington and is sup
posed to have quite as r;muh iulluence
a with the administrationu as Senator
Stanford or any other republican.

tored,
A anoAn-maex.rI, wholo-souled, reso
'lute and rugged American passed from
earth when Preston B13, Plumb, United
Sltatea sonator from Kansas, died.
lromu a poor boy in a country printing
office he moved steadily forward by his
own exertions, unaided by adventitious
fortune, until ho reached the eminence
where death overtook him. Other men
in public life were more polished and
scholarly, and perhaps possessed more
of the qualities of statesmanship, but
none excelled him in that saving com
mon sense which men call sagacity, and
which made him so true an interpreter
of the public will. Few states have
been better served in the halls of con
gress than was.Kansas by Preston B.
Plumb. He was courageous, indus
trious, indefatigable. He knew the
necessities and the sentiments of his
people and he stood up for them even
against the party whip. He was first of
all a western man, true at all times to
the every interest of the section in
which his lot was oast. The people of
Montana, whose steadfast friend he was,
join sincerely in the common sorrow at
his untimely death.
STOP THE; CHINESE.
It would be hard to find a more in- `
effective or useless law than the Chinese a
restriction act. Its provisions, if car- v
ried out, would accomplish the neces
sary purpose, but either through lack of I
vigilance on the part of government o
officers or their complete inability to en- b
force the measures, it has become a
travesty. So easy is it to avoid the pro
hibitory clause that Chinamon instead
of crossing the border along Washing- p
ton and Montana, a journey where de- v
tection results only through the aid of n
lightning or other circumstances b
quite as fortuitous, they choose to travel h
over the Canadian Pacific to Toronto or tl
one of the cities along the St. Lawrence s
and then cross to the American side.
This route is easier and avoids the ne
co.sity of a long wagon ride in one of t
the northwestern states. It would ti
occur to the reader that a healthy e:
Chinaman would be a rather ditlicult
piece of merchandise to smuggle, but
apparently this is accomplished with
the same security and secrecy employed e
in transferring a piece of lace or a dia- q
mond. For instance, we read that a b
fair average is one capture in fifty and d
that they are smuggled in bands of c
from ten to 100 each. At Brockville, a t
small Canadian city on theSt. Lawrence '
noear Ogdeusburg a train recently landed a
100 Chinamen at the warehouse on the k
wharf. They disappeared during the t
night and presumably were well on the (
way to New York the next morning. If n
the law cannot be enforced along a well tl
populated river front, with many depu- a
ties watching, how is it possible to ex- t
pect enforcement at any point of the
border. p
Another question recently raised and c
which is likely to prove an important F
feature in the application of the law is i:
the claim made by Chinamen, when a
caught, of being subjects under the q
British empire. They claim residence x
in Hong Kong which is under British a
government.
It is evident that congress must give °
this matter serious consideration. The n
law should be either repealed altogether d
or remode'ed so as to make it effective. I,
If the present system continues, out- i
breaks against the Chinese and serious a
riots will occur. S,~gns of such results a
have already appeared in several west
ern cities and it is probable that citizens
who are subjected to the bad features c
which the law is intended to prevent, a
but fails, will take the law in their own a
hands.
Early legislation on this subject is
badly needed.
A Tellerrfot's P'redicament.
A young man last summer essayed to de
scend from the red mountain crag which
rears its umber head above the little station
of Wagon Wheal Gap, Col., and does not
care to risk the chaffing that that poor fel
low got. lie had climbed up to the top of t
the cliff, as adventurous and sight-loving
youth will sometimes do, and about four
o'clock in the evening essayed to come
down, and in about half an hour, after a
rough experience in rolling, slipping and
struggling downward, found himself cling
ing to the face of the cliff at a point where
he could heither go up nor down. He was
fairly treed and perforce began to wake the
echoes calling for help.
A mile away. to the Hot iprings hotel,
one came riding in hot haste. A man had
fallen from the cliff and broken his leg, and
the doctor should come at once; and there
was a hurrying to and fro, and a chorus of
exclamations and a great stir among the
guests, and the doctor was off like the
wind, and numerous lights could be seen
afar climnbing the monntain, and when the
help reached him he was neither dead nor
dying, had no broken limb nor strained
arm or ankle, but was simply rock-bound,
entirely unable to help himself. Above
him was the perpendicular clilf, below a
narrow overhanging shelf of rock and a
fall of thirty feet to the broken stones be
low, with a nossible roll all the way to the
bottom of the mountain.
Those mountain folk are rough jesters;
when they found that he was unhurt they
began to chaff him unmercifully. 'they
told him they had brought candles to have
a wake; that he should have a first class
funeral; that they didn't see what he could
do but just to drop off over the shelf and
take his chances and be done with it. But
kind hearted, as they always are, one of
their number climbed up under the pro
jecting shelf of rock, not a firm hold with
one hand, outstretched his other arm to
give what aid he could, and the others
stood below to catch him ias he fell, ani
thus, if possible, save his life; and he waes
directed to back over the cliff crawhlor
fashion, face downward, swing of, aed
then hang on like grim death. This droe,
the nearest mlan, with his outstretellhe.i
arm, grabbed his feet and placed thenm
upon his shouldels, and the poor follow lit
go to find himself the noet moment con
valslvely grabbilreg the neck and lshou!dets
of his rescuer, and somnebow he slid down
to the others with',ut broken bones. liBunt
Show he was chaffed and ridiouled! Ie fled
away in the darkness and was not seen
Sagain for days.-Forest and Stream.

A notice of Gen. Frank Armatrong's
beautiful daughter recalls the fact that her
father, though in sympathy with the con.
federates, once had to fight against them
from the union side. When the war broke
out his regiment was near Washington, and
he was ordered along with it in haste to
meet the confederate forces. He could not
resign on the field, and was obliged to
fight against his friends. As soon as the
engagement was over he left the federal
service and cast his lot with the south.
Timothy B. Blackstone, who for thirty
years has been president of the Chicago &
Alton railroad, is said to be the only rail
way president in the country who owns a
majority of the stock in the road he man
ages. ,le is a very cultivated man taking
pleasure in reading the French and German
classics and delving into the abstruse field
of the higher mathematics, but his greatest
pleasure, it is said, is to get out with a
corps of his company's surveyors and run a
line for them as he used to do in his
younger days.
The Parisian billiardist, Albert Gamier,
once the champion of America, has just
made Frank C. Ives, the phenomenal
Michigan billiard player, an offer of $20 a
day for six months to exhibit his skill with
the cue to French audiences. Gamier is
said to.be well to do nowadays. When he
went back to France from his American
trip, some years ago, he carried with him
$13,000 as his profits, and opened a small
cafe in Brussels. He is now the richest
billiard expert in the world except, perhaps,
Maurice Daly.
In a sermon on profanity delivered in
Chicago last Sunday Rev. Dr. Martin said
that swearing was the characteristic accom
plishment of the American nation. "When
visiting a mill," said the reverend gentle
man, "one can see the value of one dam,
hat only folly in the hundred damns he
hears from the fishermen on the banks of
the stream." But Dr. Martin should con
sider that there are occasions which of
themselves palliate the offense of strong
language. When his illustrious namesake,
Dr. Martin Luther, hurled the inkstand at
the Father of Lies he would have been jus
tified in accompanying the missile by an
emphatic expletive.
New York's Little Marquis.
Like Little Lord Fauntleroy, New York
contains to-day another important little
chap who will one day be, this time, a roar.
quis, says the New York World. He is a
blonde, too, but too old for curls, and he 1
doesn't talk with the grocer around the
corner, for his mamma is not poor, but is
the Marquis Helen San Marzano, who lives
in luxury in a stately apartment at a Fifth
avenue family hotel, the Bristol. Little
Robert, 11 years old, is grand-nephew to a
king, Amadeus of Aosta, who held the
throne of Spain from 1870 to 1873. The
Queen Marie was sister to his great.grand
mother. He belongs to Company Eight of
the Berkeley battallion, is a bright scholar,
a good bicyclist, and doesn't look as
though his digestion of family pride inter
fered with his fun in the least. The grand
mother, now living in a small town near
Turin, Italy, was once ambassadress to the
court of Prussia, at Berlin, and a life-size
portrait of that beautiful woman now hangs
in oneof the rich drawing room filled with
costly furnishings, of his mother, the Mar
quise Helen San Marzano. His father, the
present Marquise San Marzano, is a nephew
of Cardinal San Marzano, of Rome, and
first cousin to General San Marzano, com
mander in chief of the Italian forces at
Massewab, in the late African war. His
mother, Marquise Helen, was a MissGillin
der of New York, another illustration of
lovely American women who have married
in the nobility. She is a devout Catholic,
and in one of her apartments has fitted up
a shrine to the Virgin, where tapers burn
throughout the day and night, shaded by
costly Bohemian glass. The rooms contain
a quantity of rich vases, fine paintings, Im
norted furnishings and gems of art from all
over the world. 'they face on Fifth avenue
and are the ideal surroundings of the Mar
quise, who is also a devoted mother. The
Bierkeley school is non-sectarian, and rep
resmnts most of the millionaire families of
the state. He is considered a bright scholar,
belongs to the Legion of honest batallion,
is tall, well built, unaffected and altogether
a striking example of sensible American
training, a very promising lad.
How Isabies Are Named.
A Hiudoo baby is named when ,t is
twelvw days old and usually by the mother.
Sometimes the father wishesq another name
than that selected by the mother. In that
case two lamps are placed over the two
names, and the name over which the lamp
burns the brightest is the one given to the
child.
In the lEgyptian family the parents choose
a name for their baby by lighting three
wax candles; to each of these they give a
natae, one of the three always belonging to
omeiedeilled personage. 'The candle that
burns the longest bestows the name upon
the baby. The Mohamemedans sometimes
write desirable names on liver shtls of paper
and these they place in the K(orau, The
name upon the firt slip drawn out is given
to the child.
The children of the Almen, a people liv
ing il nortlhern Japrian, do not receive their
names until they are live years old. It i I
the father who then chloses h0 name by
whiichli the chiild is afterward called.
Thile Chinese give their boy babiet a narme
in addition to their surnameCs, and they
must call themss'jlves by thetsm limeea until
they are 211 years old. At that age the
father gives his son a new n:tnme.
The Chinese care so little for their girl
babies that they do not give themo a baby
name, but just call them Naumbor Ou,
Number ITwo, Number Three, according to,
their birth.
BIoys are thought so much mnore of in
China than girls aire that if you naek a Cii
inese father, who has both a boy and a girl,
how many clld.on li hhas he will always
reply: "Only one child."
German parents sonmetimnn change the
namo of their baby if it is ill, and the Jap
aneat are said to change the name of a
child four tiimes.--Now York Morning
