THE STATE CONVENTION. The republican state, convention to be held in liutte next Thursday Way 17 promises to be an interest in g representative gathering, con sisting of 417 delegates from the va rious parts of Montana. Besides the delegates there will be a large tendance of spectators, mostly dem ocrats who go simply to learn how such » representative body is con ducted, and to copy a few lessons in harmonv. We take pleasure in stating that for the meeting of the above con vention a rate of a fare and one-fifth, on the certificate plan from points in Montana, will be granted by all railroads in the state on the follow ing condition: That parties attend ing this meeting will purchase one way tickets at starting point not more than three days prior to the opening of the meeting, taking receipt therefor on form "Special Ticket Receipt and Certificate." These certificates when properly filled out, showing full fare paid go ing, not more than three days prior to the date of the meeting, signed by Malcolm Gillis of Butte, showing that the holder has been in attend ance at the meeting, will be honor ed by the agent of the selling com pany at Butte tip to and including one day after the close of the con vention for ticket to return to the starting point in Montana at one fifth fare. ABOUT HONEST ELECTIONS. John Wanamaker says there has not been an honest election in Penn sylvania for fifteen years, and yet the leading papers in that state are so busy in pointing out the lawless ness in Kentucky that they have had no time to pay attention to the conditions nearer home.— Louisville Post. And the published allusions of those papers to the rottenness of Montana politics should not be over looked. IT IS WRITTEN. The signs of the times would in dicate that Montana will soon close the books of democratic corruption, and turn the rascals out, all along the line. There is a limit to the tensile quality of popular credulity, and when the democrats of 1900 tell the people what they propose to do the record of the past two or four years will give their silvery utter ances the blank lie. A PROMINENT PART. When Great Falls democrats talk about the prominent part Bonner and Gillette will take in the coining campaign, they talk like confidence men. Jack Fallstaff took a like promi nent part in the battle of Shrews bury, where he was supposed to be dead. This office is much obliged to Senator Carter for copies of valuable I public documents. SANDPAPER AND VARNISH, j In extent of the loss of life, there has been no more appalling mine j disaster in the west than that which occurred last week by an explosion 1 the large colliery at Schofield, Utah. Every dispatch from that ; country brings tales of added horror, j until the great heart of the Ameri-1 an people is wrung with grief. As j the explosion choked all means of exit, the entire shift in tunnels No. I and No. 4 were suffocated, perish ing like rats in a sinking ship. Ev ery temper of criticism of this ex plosion is one of deep sympathy for the unfortunate company, and as us ual in such cases the coroner's in vestigation casts 110 blame upon anyone. A most unusual circum stance attends the investigation of this horror, in the fact that nobody lives to tell the public how it hap pened. There was evidently an ex plosion of powder, followed by an explosion of gas and dust, but the manner of these events and how the disaster started are deeply shrouded in mystery. But there is one noticeable fact which lies in common with all other explosions. The state mine inspect or is on the ground early, to tell the public how safe lie considered the mine, and that there can not possi bly lie any blame againgt the com pany. It has never been seen to fail that the state mine inspector comes early to the scene and com mences to fix things. It is the same in Utah as in Montana. We have known this official to give a good report upon mines where nothing but condemnation would properly represent the case. The office of state inspector, intended to guard the public against possible disasters is a sort of sinecure to afford the incumbent a chance to sieze a little hush money, and the real condition of the state's mines is kept from the public knowledge. The inspector's report is a smooth, readable essay, throwing bouquets at the mine man agers in nauseating profusion. Nowhere has this conduct been more thoroughly manifest than in the historic Broadwater explosion at Neihart. Here a number of inno cent lives were sacrificed to the in competence of a drunken powder monkey, and at the inquisition there was every facility to exploit the fact. A public would naturally say that somebody is responsible for the oHiciousness of a drunken powder monkey, but the managers were in the mourners procession, promising aid in % 1,000 chunks, while the ever officious mine inspector was the big gest smooth bore adviser in the camp. Everything was so sand papered and varnished that the sub ject was not thoroughly exposed. and as soon as the coroner's exoner ation was pronounced the inspector left for Basin where he helped to varnish another equally bad job for the Hope mine. Such catastrophes as that at Scho field are great harvests for the offic ials. While everybody knows that a coal miner should not be entirely choked and closed by a single ex plosion, yet the inspector says the mine was safe, and there is an end to the controversy. Wonder how much he got for that statement? The sufferers of the Schofield mine horror, having received mess ages of condolence from all parts of the world, will require less money to relieve their distress. That iness age of President Loubet was worth *100,000, and one is expected from the Queen almost any day. The United States senate would have ousted Clark last week, but for want of an approved modus operan di. A sketch and complete diagram of Martin Buckley getting out of, the Montana legislature has been submitted for the senate's approval. It is noteworthy that democrats of Montana have succeeded in making the state famous throughout the world. But fame and shame togeth er are enough to cause the honest voter to hide his iiead. United States Senator W. A. Clark is something of a sporting man, losing $40,000 in one day on the race track. 1 .ike L'bed the John the gospel of ye the heraldry, of pre saving "prepare ye t lie way ('lianip Clark." The Hoz»man Chronicle chants its praises in the following magnificat: The gala day for democracy will be when Champ Clark conies to Bozeman. To hear Champ Clark speak, will till the cup of Gallatin county democracy tri overflowing. Howl ye craggs and peaks! and all the little hills shout for joy ! I'\ r Montana will see the prince of de nine,racy and the coining campaign will be like duck soup to a hungry pedestrian. Let the disciples of Clark and Ita ly bury their tomahawks and come to Bozeman, for the schooners of Gallatin county democracy will be foaming to the brim. Let all the brigadier generals of Price's army and all the boodlers <>f the last legislature fall in the pro cession. For great is tin Missourian, and his praisf be on every tongue. Cyclone Davis was great; but that cometli after Davis is greater than an acre of Davises; ahead of Davis as liniburger is of carrion.

Since the conviction of (.'alder ! f. perjury ami his sentence to six \ciiisi : .1 r i t in the penitentiary, a new he opened to the possible operations of courts, which, if properly «vorkeil may yield a fruitful harvest. Kverv day furnishes instances where the ends of justice are defeaterl by teas on of perjured testimony, and every trial of any consequence, let it l>o in petty justices' courts or before the higher tribunals of law and equity, has to contend with tli^ perjured, lying witness. Lying has been of late so linelx classified that a common every day Whiteside lie, an expression of false hood to one who has no right to know the truth—does not count. Hut where the lie does the greatest harm is before the judge or jury, trying honestly to probe a matter where popular right is at stake, when the court feels profoundly sure that truth is being murdered. Yes, the prosecution of perjury opens up a glorious field for legal exploitation, and the testimony in the famous (.'lark ease shows one large patch of perjuries ready for the binder. To go after these in stantly and earnestly would result in about a hundred new recruits for Conley & McTagtie—and they wouldn't all be republicans, either. It is supposed that Aguinaldo ha^ again joined the Filipino army in the north of Luzon, and democratic editors everywhere are happy. I j i j I j Now everybody is guessing whom Governor Smith will appoint to the seat on the supreme bench. The Casualty Report. The superintendent of the ['lens ant Valley Goal company, at Sehn field, ("tali, has made a report to the treasurer of the company in regard to the mine disaster in which he says: "Total killed, 11)9; bodies recov ered to date, 19Ö; injured, 7.

By means of the spectroscope we can obtain a probably more accurate deter minatioti of the sun's velocity through space. As is well known, the velocity of a star in the Hue of sijjiit can be found by measuring the displacement of the linen visible in the star's spec trum. Now. tee stars near Uie position of the solar "apex" should be ap proaching tlie earth on account of ttie solar motion, aud those at the opposite point of the sky. called the "ant apex," Should be receding. This method has been employed bj several astronomers, especially by Vo pel at the Potsdam observatory. This able astronomer has found from an ex ; animation of 40 stars that the sun's velocity through space is about "'/a I miles a second, but an examination ot a larger number of stars would be nee , cssary before we could consider this, result as thoroughly established. From an examination qf the spectra of 14 nebula 1 Professor Keeler of the I.lck observatory lias found velocities in the line of sight, and from these the French astronomer Tisserand lias de dilced a velocity of about D 1-:! miles for the solar motion, a result which ; does not differ widely from that found by Vogel. We may therefore perhaps conclude that the velocity of the sun's I motion through space is between 0 and j 12 miles per second.—Gentleman's Magazine. "There is a family in my town," said a Baltimore man, "where the children are all boys. They are very rich, and each of the three sons is in receipt of a liberal allowance, but tin- manner In which they expend it and certain of their characteristics wire as suecinct ly and tersely described as possible the other day by Hob, the eldest one, In telling the story of a burglary that oc etirred last summer at their country place. Boh is the oldest, Jack the sec ond and Albert the youngest son. Bob, ju telling the story, said: "'He didn't get very much, as some one of the servants thought he heard something about I! and in going to in vestigate probably scared him off, hut when we discovered the next morning that a burglar had visited us we latn rally took an account of stock. The only rooms in the house he had entered were those of my two brothers and myself, and in each of them ho had gone through the clothes wo had been wearing the day before. Out of my clothes he got 10 co -nt s, from Jack lie got nothing, aud in going thiough Bert's jeans he got in debt.'New York Tribune. An Old Timer. A crowd of young men were seated in one of tlie steamboat offices In the city the other afternoon while an old stfiunboat veteran regaled tlieui with stories about old times on the Missis sippi and reminiscences of old time cit izens. "Did you know old Bill .Tones?" ask ed one of the men, after the captain had finished relating how he ran a gantlet of Indians with his tioat way back in the forties. "'Member Bill .Tones? Well, 1 guess I did," replied the captain. "Let's see, lie died just after the war. He was a good old fellow too. I knew his father before lie was married to Bill's moth er." One of the boys thought the old man was "doping" and by way of tripping him up on Iiis dates asked, "Cap, how long have you been running on the riv er?" "Who, me? Why, I started on the Mississippi when it was tuithiu but a creek!"—Memphis Scimitar. ClieHN ami War. The origin of chess Is shrouded io mystery. There is little doubt, how ever, that its birthplace was in India aud that It is an offspring of a game called chaturanga, which is mentioned in oriental literature as in use fully 200 years before the Christian era. From India chess spread Into Persia, and thence into Arabia, and ultimately the Arabs took It into Spain and the rest of western Europe. The game was in all probability in vented for the purpose of illustrating the art of war. The Arab legend upon this point is tjiat it was devised for the instruction of a young despot by his father, a learned Brahman, to teach him that a king, notwithstanding his power, was dependent for safety upon his subjects. The Greek historians credit the Invention of the game to Palamedes, who. they claim, devised it to beguile the tedium of the siege of Troy during the Trojan war. 'Where {Quinine I m Goad.
