W1I.SON, That solitary democrat in the sena torial branch ot the Maine legislature should have no difficulty in holding the minority party solid upon any proposi tion "agin' the government." The pleasing news comes from Boze niiiii that Hon. C. S. Hartman, republi can nominee for congress, who was stricken with serious illness upon his re turn from the (treat Falls convention, is rapidly recovering and expects to begin a canvass of the state October 1st. Hon. H. R. Melton, democratic nomi nee for lieutenant governor, passed the zenith of political preferment on his re turn to his home at Dillon from Great Falls. He received an ovation on that occasion and then retired to the obscur ity from which the voters will never re call him. The voters should not forget that W. W. Dixon voted with his party for the removal of the duty on foreign wool, thus bringing the Montana producers in direct competition with the woolgrow ers of Australia and their underpaid laborers. This of itself should be suffi cient 10 bury him under a majority of fully 500 in Park county alone. The Indian office some time ago ad vertised for the construction for a water main for the supply of Fort Belknap In dian agency in Montana, and also bids for boring an artesian well at that point. I he estimated cost of piping the water a distance of seven miles was 88,tHX), but the lowest bid received was 818,000. The bid for the artesian well was 89,400 for a well 81,(HR) feet deep. The Indian office decided to reject all these bids and un less some method can lie devised for the water supply of this point nothing will be done. The Milk river is very close to the agency building, but tile water can not be used. The agency buildings were located at that point during the last ad ministration of Cleveland. Timothy E. Collins is the democratic candidate for governor. Ho is also vice president and resident director of the railroad company against which twenty six indictments are now pending for the importation of alien laborers to work upon the construction of the road in violation of the United States statute. He is also president or the First National bank of Great Falls, which institution last year imported mechanics from St. Paul and put them to work m erecting a building to lie occupied for banking purposes, simply because they could be employed at lower wages than the pre vailing scale in Montana. Tim is un questionably the laboring man's friend, Dut it is the foreign laborers and not those who will dictate the political re sult in this year's election in Montana. Democrats, however, should not com plain. Their gubernatorial candidate has simply been guilty of pursuing the party's policy of free trade, which means direct competition w ith foreign cheap labor. Thursday, ( letober fith, ( lover nor John E. Ru-kards and Judge I,. J. Hamilton of Butte will address the citizens of Liv ingston and vicinity upon the political issues of the day, and especially those directly affecting the welfare of Mon tana. A rousing reception should be given to these speakers. Governor Kickards enjoys the distinction of hav ing lirst applied the ruling by which a legislative body can proceed to transact business even though the minority prove recalcitrant in their efforts to maintain a deadlock. This ruling was afterwards adopted by Speaker Heed and subse quently sustained by the United States supreme court. Appalled with the showing made by Labor Commissioner Peck and unable t i answer the logic of his figures demon strating the beneficial effect of the McKinley tariff law upon labor and manufactures in the state of New York, the democrats have begun a persecution of that official. He has been arrested upon a trumped upcharge of destroying statistical records of his office. Com missioner Peck is an appointee of Grover Cleveland and has held the office con tinuously from that date without objec tion until his statistics recently made public demonstrated a more favorable condition under the McKinley law than in previous years. His chief offense, therefore, is that he would not suppress the truth, which being objectionable to democrats explains their persecution of its author. The democratic state committee of New York have started an investigation to disprove the figures of the democratic labor commissioner of that state, which shows material advancement in manu factures and the price of labor under the workings of the McKinley tariff law. So far they have not met with fluttering success. Out of a total of sixteen shops in Lockport, t lie committee finds four where a change of the wage scale has been made and these all show an increase. The democratic press now at tempts tej counteract the effect of thiR showing by r the bald assertion that the increase noted can in no wise be attrib uted to the higher tariff. Had the show ing been in the line of u decrease of wages in any single instance these same papers would with alacrity have charged the responsibility wholly to a protective tariff. The desperate strait to which the democratic press is reduced in an effort to convince the people that protection does not benetit the country, is evidenc ed by the inconsistency of the argu ments employed. They assert that the effect of the tariff is to produce million aire manufacturers at the expense of the people when they assail what they are pleased to term the robber tariff. But when it is desired to show a differ ent condition of affairs to demonstrate that protection does not foster indus trial enterprises they ns cheerfully as sert that manufactories are being closed upon every hand as a result of the Mc Kinley bill. Just now they are attempt ing to prove that strikes are attributa ble to the McKinley tariff and quote liberally from Editor Howell of the At lanta Constitution, who maintains that strikes are the result of depression in the iron industry, resulting in the shut ting down of furnaces to prevent actual loss—and all on account of the McKin ley bill. Elsewhere in this issue appears a strong plea for an adequate system of sewerage, from the pen of Mr. D. J. Kennedy, a gentleman who has had wide experience in such matters in different portions of the world. He was commis sioner of health in Bombay at the time the cesspools were abandoned for a system of adequate sewerage. He not only basis his argument upon the neces sity of sewerage as one of the most ur gently needed improvements in protect ing the nealth of the community, hut goes farther and produces an argument which appeals more directly to the busi ness interests, by showing that without this municipal improvement the material advancement of the city will be retarded. This conclusion he reaches from the fact that capitalists will refuse to make ex tensive building improvements that the rapid growth of the city fully warrants unless a more satisfactory sanitary con dition is provided than the present prac tice of creating cesspools. The matter should receive the prompt and favorable attention of every citizen interested in the welfare and future prosperity of Livingston. 1 he attention of those democrats who still believe that the stuffed prophet is not hostile to the silver interests of the country is called to the following utter- 1 ance of Carl Schurz in a letter written •"« clevei "'î Kt.ve„„,„ club „r Kings county, New York. He says in speaking of free coinage ; "I regard the movement as grad Cleveland is elected he will have more his influence vigorously in favor of a sound finance. Under Cleveland's admin- ! '■« 7 *« ....... it. roothold in the imrty in »hid, it I. numerically the strongest. Cleveland's ducers of the United States, while in the re-election of President Harrison the country would have assurance of an ad ministrative influence in favor of the complete restoration of silver to its rightful position. And this through the efforts of President Harrison in secur ing an international monetary confer ence. Under these circumstances it should be an easy matter for the voters of Montana to decide which party is en titled to their support in the coming election, and this they will do by giving a substantial majority for Harrison and Reid. THROUGH FEAR OF HELENA If Bozeman has not yet seen the dan ger of her candidacy to east side chances she should find plenty of proof of it in the news sent out from Anaconda last week. She should also see how hope less her own efforts will be when in the lists with such a town as Anaconda. Marcus Daly announces that a new rail road is to he built between Butte and Anaconda at once, and that means that an army of workmen w ill be thrown into the field contiguous to Anaconda and that the strength of Anaconda in the capital contest will be augmented just that many votes. The only city which Anaconda has ever feaied in this capi tal canvass is Helena and that the smel ter city sees reason to strengthen her forces to such au extent against Helena, notwithstanding the east side division now existing, shows how strong Helena is known to be in other sections, and how invincible she would be if she com manded, as she yet may, the united sup port of all east side sections. Bozeman, along with Great Falls and Boulder, is standing in her own light, and at the same time is opposing the substantial interests of the entire eastern part of Montana indeed, of all parts of the state not directly tributary to Anaconda. It is to be hoped that the good sense of the people of all three places will enable them to fully realize this fact before it is too late and that they will gracefully yield allegiance to Helena for the good of all. QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS. "Inquirer" writes the Enterprise re questing a reply to the following query : "If a minor of foreign birth was in Montana at the time of the adoption of the constitution, can he vote at the com ing election, provided tie has been live years in Ihe country ?" The state constitution relating to qual ification of voters provides that any per son who was entitled to vote at the time of the adoption of said constitution shall not be deprived of that right until after the expiration of live years from date of such adoption of the constitution, when none but citizens shall be entitled to vote. At the time of the adoption of the constitution foreign born citizens resid ing in Montana were entitled to vote after having made declaration of their intention to become citizens. Such per sons can therefore continue to exercise the right of franchise, hut must perfect their citizenship within five years from the date of the adoption of the consti tution, which was October 1, 1889. As minors of foreign birth would not come under this exception, on account of their inability to vote upon the adoption of the state constitution they would there fore be subject to the general laws re lating to citizenship. This law provides that male persons of foreign birth who became residents of the United States while under the age of 18 yeurs can be come citizens after a residence of live years by taking out final papers. It fur ther provides that all other male persons of foreign birth must have resided a per iod of five years in the United States and made declaration of intention to become citizens at least two years prior to appli cation for final papers. It therefore fol lows that no minor of foreign birth, re siding in Montana at the date of the adoption of the constitution, who was over 18 years of age when he came to the United States, can vote until he has resided in the United States tive years and perfected citizenship by taking out two sets of papers. Minors, who came to the United States prior to the age of 18 years, and are otherwise not disquali fied, can vote at any time after a five years residence upon securing their fir3t and final papers. Tile Hmipeft St Katun Fat . lire Developments in the closing of the Hoopes & Eaton loan, real estate and insurance agency, reveals a much worse condition of affairs than was at first an ticipated, although the full amount und effect of the firm's liabilities cannot even at this time he accurately given.

M. Parks in the sum of 88o0. Even this hitter resource has been ren dered unavailable by the companies which have withdrawn from the agency and divided among other firms in this city. Altogether it is the most coin pinte and inexcusable failure that lias ever occurred in Livingston, and lor the amount involved will probably produce more hardships upon those in this city who must suffer from the firm's conduct than any other. Journal: For the first time in the his tory of Montana a candidate is trying to sneak into office without betraying his political identity. The democrats swear that Pemberton is their man and the pop ulists swear they have the dead mortal cinch on him. Inter Mountain: There are twenty six firms now engaged in making tin plate in this country, and still the demo cratic organs said tlie Americans could not make tin plate. They said the same thing about steel rails, pottery and silk and still in the manufacture of those articles hundreds of thousands of men are employed at good wages in this country. Economist: Democratic Labor Com missioner Peele of Indiana is reported to have conducted an investigation into the wages question and, like Commis sioner Peek of New York, finds that wages have advanced under the new tariff. The democratic national com mittee has seer fit to appoint deputize certain rabid free traders to "expose" Commissioner Peek's report. Mr. Peele might as well prepare to find himself proved a liar also by these clever invest igators. Glendive Independent : Which would the west side rattier have for the capital, east side Bozeman or Helena? Why, Helena. Which would the east side rather have for the capital, west side Deer Lodge or Helena ? Why. Helena. Then why not compromise on Helena? We have the opinion of many prominent men from all over the state and they all agree that Helena is the only city that can ever hope to obtain a majority vote and that therefore the real question to lie settled this fall is not whether the capital shall he removed from Helena or not, but whether Helena shall be con firmed as capital or not. Yellowstone Journal : For state treas urer, Fred W. Wright of Park county was the choice of the convention. Mr. Wright is just completing a three-years ' term as county treasurer of Park coun ty, and the fact that his entire delega tion were earnest supporters of his can didacy is a recommendation that guar antees his fitness for the duties of the more important office to which he will be elected. The man who can command the enthusiastic ami inalienable support of his every day friends and neighbors comes before the public with a recom mendation that cannot be gainsaid— such is Mr. Wright's position before the republican voters of Montana to-day, and it entitles him to their fullest sup port. National Bulletin: There are qualms in democratic breasts that the presi dent's proclamation to keep out the cholera is "agin the Constitooshun." 1 he same party felt the same qualms about the protective tariff in 1833, as they do now : about the prohibition of slavery in the territories ; about the power of the national government to take arms to preserve the Union ; about the emancipation proclamation ; aiiout the greenback issue to carry on the war; about the national banking act; about the resumption act ; about the recon struction legislation — in fact, about e\eri act of any branch of the govern ment that has marked a step forward in our national progress or our national glory. The democratic party is the whangdoodle party. Independent : When the question of the location of the various state institu tions is determined, as it will be next winter, if the capital controversy is set ' led >. November, vast endowments o land, the gift of the gener ™ will become immedia^lj vaUable In the discussion over the capital which is of minor importance after all ,.r Herald : The man must lie mentally wanting who doubts that the returns from precinct 34 were the rotten pro duct of a villainous conspiracy, and the man must be morally wanting who does not rejoice that it was rejected and not permitted to reverse the will of the hon est voters of Montana. Townsend Messenger : The capital question is the absorbing one. It con trolled the actions of both state conven tiuns. The friends of the different as pirants are very enthusiastic and appar ently confident. Helena is gaining strength daily and it is not improbable that she'll win in the first heat. Minneapolis Tribu ne: The democratic hatred of tall chimneys and roaring ma chinery crops out in fiery rhetoric when ever a new factory like the tin works in Indiana is put in operation.
