Wst.Tonn, Secretary.^Bait. City, Mont.. Aug. 13. i -^
Thedemocratic county convention,^which met in Deer Lodge yesterday,^was a model of unanimity, enthusiasm^aud earnestness. The gentlemen^chosen as delegates to the state con^^vention are representative men of the^count v Never before was the demo^^cratic party in Deer Lodge so strong^ae active, so determined on victory, so^^onsciotis of the justice of its cause.
Thecause of Tom Piatt's antagonism^to the force hill has been established^beyond a doubt. A itirminghain, Ala.,^dispatch states that l'latt is president^^f the Tennessee Coal, Iron \ Kailroad^company, and the company's most val^^uable property is in aud around that^city, (ieneral Alger, Vice President^Morton and Senator (Juay are inter^ented in the same concern. Piatt's^ground for opposition to the force bill^was therefore of a business character.^The Birmingham dispatch says that^when the Lodge bill passed the house,^Piatt wrote one of the ollicers^^f his company there that the measure^would be defeated in the senate, aud^that business interests in the south^seed not be disturbed. Practical poli^^tics is sometimes an effective agency^for good in spite of the practical poli^^ticians.
Nowthat the tariff bill has been^passed by the senate, those republican^papers that kicked against it are try^^ing with more or less grace and adroit^^ess to adjust themselves to circum^^^.instances. Such papers as the Chi^^cago Tritium and the St. Paul PfsjstW^Pr^$* were that bold in their detinue hi-^lions of McKinleyism, and took such a^decided stand in favor of tariff reform,^that they cannot view the bill as linally^passed, with all its amendments aud^modilications, without a decidedly wry^face. While admitting that is not a^a go^d tariff bill they are free to say^that it is a much better tariff measure^than the original bill of McKinley.^Their chief concern now is lest the^aoQse will non concur in the changes^Introduced by the senate. That there^ia good ground for this fear was^made manifest by the remarks of Mc^^Kinley in the house yesterday.
SPEAKERREED'S BOOM.
Theunexpectedly large majority^that Speaker Heed received in his own^home district last week has undoubtedly^^trengthened him materially as a can^^didate for the republican presidential^nomination in 1W2. liy what methods^that majority was received is a subject^for discussion, but most republicans^will not be disposed to go behind the^returns. The fact that Heed got a^good, big majority, bigger than he him^^self had predicted, will temporarily at^least serve to place his tottering boom^cn its legs.
Unlessseveral of the more experi^^enced and accomplished of Washington^correspondents are aw ay off, a strong^movement is on foot to push Heed^steadily to the front as a candidate for^Harrison's shoes. It is announced, in^fact, that the republican congressional^committee has been turned into a Ret d^machine, and w hile the manifest ob^^ject of theorganiza'ion is to aid in the^election of members of the next house,^it has also become in the hands of its^managers an organization whose ani
matingpurpose is the elevation of Mr.^Heed to the presidency. In this mag^^nificent scheme, Mr. Carter as the sec^^retary of the committee, is of course an^active and zealous participant. The^Washington correspondent of the Bos^^ton Pint has this to say of the personnel^of Heed's backers:
Themen who control the machine Congress^^man Belden of New York; Carter of Montana,^ami ex Assistant I'ostmaster-tleueral Clarkson^of Iowa ^re clever politicians. Mr. Clarkson
foryears |ias( lias Wen ^f Mr. Blaine's most
loyaland Intelligent supporters. He come*^from a state tbat has tolerated no other candi^^date than the man from Maine, notwithstanding^that its ^favorite son,^ Senator Allison, has^long entertained presidential aspirations him^^self; hut Mr. Clarkson Is more progressive than^the simple granger voter of Iowa. Me feels tbat^Mr. Illaine lias outlived Ills usefulness, so far as^the uresldeney is concerned, ami his astute^ipialitles as a king, or to be more exact, presi^^dent maker, will be exercised in future in^Speaker Kiwi's lichalf. The cordial relations^which exist between Mr. Belden and Mr. Kced^are well knowu.
Thechief defect in Mr. Heed's boom^is the opposition of Mr. James ^!.^Hlaine. Heed may esteem himself a^bigger man than old Hlaine for a^season, but when the time comes he^will be undeceived and that thoroughly.^Hlaine may not get the nomination^himself he may not want it but one^thing is certain, he won't let Heed have^it if he can help it, ami if he can't help^it, the reason why is not apparent.^Once he set out about it, it would take^Mr. Hlaine less than one minute to^knock Heed. Helden, Clarkson, Carter^and all their representatives, heirs and^assigns, individually and collectively,^into the middle of next week.
ENGLAND'SCENSUS.^The London correspondent of the^New York Times graphically illustrates^the difference between the American^and I'.nglish methods of taking a cen^^sus. Knglish statisticaus, he says,^have displayed much individual inter^^est in the complicated mechanism and^extensive scope of our census taking,^but they have not been inspired^thereby to alter their own census^scheme, which is simplicity itself. The^enumeration will be tieguu and lin-^ished in a single day Sunday ri 5.^In striking contrast with the Ameri^^can method, nothing is attempted in^Kngland beyond the bare counting,^with a few elementary facts as to age^and sex, and whether married or sin^^gle. To do this work there will be^40,(KK) enumerators in Kngland and^Wales. All of these will be appointed^by the local registrars of births and^deaths. The higher clerks who are to^tabulate the returns will be chosen^by public competition, the terms of^which will shortly be issued by Un^^civil service commission. No sugges^^tion of partisanship will enter the^whole arrangement from top to bottom.^Perhaps that is the reason of Knglish^confidence that the census will be abso^^lutely complete and trustworthy.
PROTECTIONFOR OUR HEIRESSES.
Whilecongress is legislating to pre^^vent the importation of adulterated^goods into the American market it^seems only just that it should take^some steps for the protection of our^heiresses. A St. Louis widow whose^fortune is estimated at several millions^was recently reportetl to be engaged to^a wealthy Knglishman. A lawyer went^from St. Louis to adjust the marriage^settlements. While these business^matters were transacting the discovery^was made that the lady's property^would revert to her children upon her^marriage and thereupon the match was^declared off.
Incidentslike this have been of fre^^quent occurrence of late years and a^better system of conducting interna^^tional affairs of this kind seems to be^necessary. When marriage with a^titled foreigner resolves itself down to^a matter of dollars and cents there^should be greater directness in the pre^^liminary negotiations. The extrava^^gant prices that have been paid for^husbands abroad hits for n long time^past been a matter of just complaint^but not less so than the inferior quality^of the goods delivered. Many of the^titles have proven to be base counter^^feits and those that are genuine are^often held by the most damaged speci^^mens of the aristocracy.
Thesubject is full of dilliculties and^it is not easy to propose a system that^is absolutely free front objection. One^method that presents ituelf would be to^require the would-be husband to lile a^schedule of all Ins debts along with n^list of his possessions, if he should^happen to have any, as in the case of^other bankrupts, lie should also be^required to give his pedigree in^full, age, number of teeth^missing, how often he has been^married, number of times divorced,^whether he wears a wig, aud all other^information of interest to a possible^buyer. It may be possible to adopt^regulations to the effect that no Ameri^^can gold, or silver either, for that^matter, should be shipped to Kurope^for the purchase of a husband until the^latter had tiled with the American con^^sul a clear account ot his titles and^pedigree together with a physician's^certificate such as is demanded by life^insurance companies.
Anothergood scheme would be to^require American consuls to furnish^price lints for princelings, marquises,^aud other titled gentry, with the premi^^ums paid for long descent and dis^^counts for titles that run back too soon^to soap makers, brewers, livery-stable^keepers and other objectionable occu^^pations that might injure the quality^of the goods. In this manner not only^would our ambitious heiresses be pro^^tected trom imposition in quality and^price but negotiations would be greatly^simplitied, misunderstandings pre^^vented, and much conjugal misery^averted.
