Socal forecast for Helena: Fair; slightly warmer. Helena, Oct. 3, 1892. GooD morning! Have you registered yet? SANDERS Will not enter upon a oam- ( paign of explanation. lie can't. PERHArPS those badly-worn, wooden- t soled shoes that Sanders showed are the t ones Carter used in making the "Foot prints of Time." A HALF mniillion dollar contract has just been let for tJihat dry dock at Port Orchard. Now let us hope for similar news about Fort Harrison, WE give it up. Bulltte is three miles miles nearer to Logan than is IIelena. t That shuts us out of the capital con test. At least that is the way the Miner pute it. To our democratio friends in other counties we are glad to say that Iewis and Clarke is all right. We will heat Dixon's handsome majority here of two years ago. WHAT is the use in postponing regis tration until the last day, when you mnay be sick or forgot it? (lot your name on the list at once, and be ready a to vote on the capita;l quest;rion. REPRESENrTATIVE )IXON in making a s clean cut and vigorous carapaIgn and the cordial receptions accorded him I everywhere show that he lihas alirm hold I. on the popular heart. lie deserves tt,( for Montana has never hadl a truer rep- a resentative of its interests at Washing- L ton than he. LAsT year after Flowrz had carriedi New York by fifty thousand majority a the republican organs were unanimously a of the opinion that Platt was a political d chump, and the party would be lucky if 0 it could be rid of him. This year the same organs hail his emergence frc.m a protracted fit of the sulks and greet him as the savior of the g. o. p. Ma. Rims .ls prefaces his speech in h defense of his infamous rulings as lieu- I tenant governor with the statement that he is about to make an explanation, but not an apology. It is a hopeful sign that he deems it necessary to devote his time to this subject. But it would be better for him to make an unconditional apology and let the explanation go. Taas will be a glorious year for de mooracy. if demoorats do their duty. Vote straight for the national ticket and put Montana in line with the national democracy, who are going to sweep the country. Vote for a democratic con gressman. Vote to place another demo crat in the governor's chair and keep the succession unbroken. Vote for democratic legislators, that Montana's first genuine United States senator may be a democrat. Vote your judicial, county and local tickets straight through. Put none but democrats on guard all along the line. Then, with victory won. you will have a splendid, live, triumphant democratic organiza tion that will keep the principles of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland upper most in Montana for a quarter of a cen tury to come. We doubt the report published in the Butte Miner that the republican state central committee is considering over tures from the prohibition party for a fusion. Rickards doubtless would like such a combination, but our prohibition friends distrust him. He is for prohibi tion in the Methodist conferences, but outside he is for Rickards and success. Iv Carter expects to carry Montana he should take a large block of cam paign boodle and pay our wool growers the difference between the price at which they cold their wool and the 50 cents a pound he promised them two years ago, as the result of the McKinley bill. When he adjusts this little differ ence he may be able to pick up a few votes for Harrison, but not before. WHAT a demand for granite and mar ble and brick and lumber and material of all kinds, what a demand for labor, what a building boom in a dozen com munities, what material progress as a state, what general prosperity we shall have, when the sensible people of Mon tana who, thank heaven, are in a big majority, decide the capital question next month and open the way for the immediate location of all our state in stitutions! THE theory that the labor unions of Butte and other towns will vote for An aconda in order to keep Helena from getting the capital this year is absurd. The labor unions are composed of the friends of labor who know that the loca tion of the capital this year will be fol lowed by the location of all the other in stitutions this coming winter. And they do not need to be told that labor will enjoy great prosperity with the cap ital question determined this year. They will not vote to keep the agitation up another two years; they will vote to close it. FoR the benefit of the esteemed Inter Mountain, which is far enough off the track now, without going any further, we beg to state that Judge Blake did grant a writ of mandamus against the county clerk of Jefferson county in 1889, ordering him to show cause why he should not issue a certifi2ate of election to William C. Whaley as joint represent ative from Jefferson and Gallatin coun ties. The documents in the case were all published in THu INDFEPENDENT' at the time, Judge Blake's order included. When the county clerk learned that the mandamus had been granted he issied a certificate to Mr. Whaley without waiting to be served with the order. It. is a mere quibble to assert that Judge Blake did not render a decision holding that county clerks were the proper offli cers to issue certificates of election. The fact that he granted such an order shows that he knew the county clerk was the proper oflicer to issue certificates. WOOL SHOULD BE FREE. William Harney, a republican, and secretary of the Golden Gate Woolen Manufacturing company, of San Fran cisco, who has nade a profound study of the effect of a high tariff on wool de clares it as his opinion that "thle wool grower is not protected by the tax on raw wool, but by the tax on the impor tation of the mnanufactured article. The tariff prevents us going into an exten sive mianufacture of cassimores and di agonals. Could we get the wool minus the duty, and have the tax remain on the imiporteld mannufactured article we could compete with and drive out for eign products. This we coull do, for we woull blend the Australian wool with the home product in the propor tion of about one part Australian worl to two parts hoinu wool. This woul t re sult in n iuimmeise consumption of the Ioiiestic wool, far greater than at pres at, and would prove a plowerful stimu lus t tthe wool irowing induisry of Aimerica. We have all the machinery in this country sandul the skill to make us good as the best, but our enorgies are crippled and our enterpriso dwarfed by dhe unnecessary cost of the raw muate ial." The woolgrowners miay distrust this statremcnt because it comes from a man ufacturer, but }liA virws nre helt ty ione of thle largest woolgr,,wers them celves. One of the strongest and oldest -rganizatorns of thle kind mn the I'nitedl Statos is the Woolgrouwers ainud Shoep breedors' assocuation, of Livingston atn, )mtario counties, New York. At therir annuail meeting, a year ago, thle meorn bers of this association, after an inter 'hangeof opinions, unainimonusly adoptedI.l the following resolutions: First, We reaognize that the wool duty is Sdelusion and a snare to the weolgrowsr, and that it haslargely beeninstrumental in driving to the wall an industry it was cal salted to benefit. Second, Prior to .1867, undler the various Jhanses of the wool duties the pries of wool tnutuatad, not in sympathy with the tariff, bat by reason of the controlling law of de rand and supply, the prowar having rs ueived high prices and low prices under tish tariff, and conversely low prices and hih prices under low tariff. Third, The success of the woolgrower de- I it peand on the suceas of the woole *tif a n faturr,. The American mannutatater i i seriously handicapped by reason of bettu compelled to pay exerbitant taxes on eve.y pound of elothing wool imported fo le#au arys admixtunre while all foreign eoUtotw of say consequence have the benett of f wool, and are thus enabled to undersell er i- manafsoturers. f. These observing woolgrowers pub thi d olincher on their argument in the tot. 1 lowing: England, Franoe and Germany are the C only three countrie in the world that ex port woolen manufactures in sex"u of the imports of raw material; in other words, these coontrles. by admitting wool free, P have areated a demand for their home wool r in exoese of all wools required to elothe a their people, and after giving employment to labor export more wool than they have 7 imported. The United States, on the other I, hand, by imposing a high duty on all wool t has not only destroyed our export ttade, but so throttled our manufacturers as to ruin the market for domestio fleeces and give to 1 the English, French and German manafao torers the cream of our markets for cloth. This associatiqn very sensibly joins the progressive manufacturer in asking that wool be put on the free list. THE ATLANTIC FOR OCTOBER. The October Atlantio opens with an able paper by James C. Carter, entitled "Mr. Tilden." He gives an interesting resume of Samuel J. Tilden's place in public life. Mr. Carter considers him the most distin guished example of our best class of states men. At the present moment, when Mr. Tilden's bequest is so much talked of, this will serve to show the manner of man he was, and will perhaps throw some light as to the way he would have wished his be quest to have been neused. Mrs. Deland, in "The Story of a Child," gives some de lightful passages in the life of her heroine, and the scene in which she and hper play mate worship an idol is very cleverly writ ten. We are glad to see that she introduces our old friend, Mr. Tommy Dove and Miss Jane in a manner which leads us to believe that his wooing, as pictured in a former story, will be brought to a successful ter mination in this. Alexander Brown, author of the "Genesis of the United States," has a paper on "The English Occupaney of North America," and inci dentally endeavors to put Captain John Smith back into his rightful obscurity. There is also a Calabrian story by Eliza beth Cavazza called "Roco and Sidora," and this, with Mr. Crawford's "Don O: sino," completes the fiction of the number, Mr. Hale's amusing papers on "A New England Boyhood" are continued, end Boston Common and his associations with it, forms the subject of this new install ment. Prof. Shaler writes on a subject of the day, namely, "The Betterment of Our Highways." and Mary A. Jordan has an article on "The College for Women." A stirring poem by Edith M. Thomas entitled "Arria," another by Clinton Scollard, and some critical papers on " he Naulahka and 1 the Wrecker," on "Curzon's Persia," and on "Cavour as a Journalist," with the usual reviews and Contributor's club, finish a number of uniform interest throughout. Hioughton. Mifflin & Co., Boston. An Object Lesson in Futility. They were talking about futility, and for some reason known only to each other failed to agree. Finally she asked: "Well, now, suppose you give me an ex ample of what you call futility?" r "All right," said he. "Multiply 3,946 by 721." She took her little gold pencil in hand, seized a piece of paper, and after a few minutes of diligent figuring announced the result. "Two million eight hundred and forty-five thousan 1 and seity-six," she said. "Divide that by two." he continued. "One million four hundred and twenty. two thousand five hundred and thirty three," she said. "Very well," said he. "Now add seven to that, and then subtract 1,422,540, and tell me what you got." "I he result is zero," said she, after fig uring a little more. "Well, that's what I call futility," said he. with a laugh. "You've covered a sheet of paper with figures to arrive at nothing." Whereupon she became so angry that she refused to argue further on the subject. From the Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for October. A TRIPLE CONSPIRACY. Entered Into by Enropean Cenotries Against San Domingo. NEW YORK, Oct. 1.--A curious story has been circulated to the effect that Great Britain, Germany and Italy, jealous of the advantages America is reaping from re ciprocity with San Domingo, have con soire,; to overthrow it. The action of Great Britain and Italy is not defined in the story, but it is said that Germany offered Ulysses Henrenux, president of San Domingo, an annual bribe for life of $50, 000 if he would declare the treaty abrogated. The consul of San Dominuo here to-day ad miltted that these countries made a demu.nd I on San Domlnrgo in which they olaim that t under a clause of former treaties they are entitled to the most favored national treat ment. This alarmed San Domingo. The attitude of Germany is eerecially danger ons, as all San Domingo's tobacco trade is with Hamburg. 'IThis was threatened with a duty which would have been fatal. If the demand had been acceded to all the Domingan sugar would have to be sent to London, in which case the United bltates would reimpose sugar dnties. Accordingly, the counsel says that h.- was dispatched to talk the matter over with soecretary Foster. Hie added that iDurhan, the American minister to HIayti, and the German minis ter had both gone to San Domingo and are there in consultation, and are both keep Sing their rsespective governments informed of tlhe progre.s of the nevotliations. He 'xmectt a satisfactory solution of the diffi oulty. Exploring In the Far North. Gerov~uchl·vic , Macs., Oct. 3.--Thle echoon ers Aba S. lablson and Laurel arrived to (ry from iceland, each carrying 11.,000 pounds of halibut. The Danish bark iHogla, exploring the coast of Greenlard, had arrived at Dyrefjord. IHer crrmmneerder eports that she was fifteen months onu the coast, most of the time Imiprisoned in itn; that one of the crew died; that explor ations of considerablernrm'rtrnrlce were made. 'iThe party found the rerr.ins of Esqiulmaux habitations, with dishes made of stone, and other artmeles, the use of which was un. known. The rHogle explorod tire island of IJanmrayer, in latitude seventy-one degrees north, longitude sevenr degrees west, ve-v deep water being found in that ocalhty. 'I he party dredged in 475 fathomus of water, bringing up sediment which cotnsaimred sech anirmal rvegetation as sea anemone, to gether with phbbles similar to iron ore. After reflttlni at Iceland the ifougla sailed, Aug. 28, for Greenland, to complete the seienthhie researehes she had been coman siened to do, intending to remain all win ter in south reeniland. Not "('Cooney the Fox." Cnarcio, Oct. 3.--OGohgan. alias Cole man, supposed to be a (Crenin murderer, a convict in the Oregon penitentiary, is not "Cooney the Fux," as has been statee ji IP some dispatches, but is a brother of the, notoriaus Peter Geohegan, now serving a time at Joliet.

THE -------- T I--I- EQUITABLE Life Asmrance Society LARGEST, IS THE STRONGEST AND BEST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE WORLDB. The popularity and excellence of the EQUITABLE'S plans and management are attested by the fact that it has the largest number and amount of assurances in force, that it does the largest annual business, has the largest income and the largest surplus of any Life Insurance Company in the world. Its latest form of Policy becomes INCONTESTABLE, And Grants Freedom of Residence, Travel and Occupation One Year From Its Date of Issue. The growth and prosperity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society have been largely due to its strong finuancial condition, prompt payment of Death Claims, and unparalleled dividend results acquired under its Tontine system. Upon all classes of its Tontine policies issued 20 years ago, and whose Tontine periods are now maturing, the cash returns are in every case and at every age more than the total premiums paid, and this is in addition to the protection afforded by the policy during 20 years. The returns on Endownlent Policies are equal to all the premiums paid with interest at rates between 6 and 7 per cent. per annum. DUNGAN HUNTER, Manager, 1. A. KINq, Gashier, HELENA, MONTANA.
