We have no faith in the politi- macrobat whose contortions can be exceeded by his hypocrisy. A city that can live only by penetrancing crime is only sew- the seed of anarchy, and will needay reap the same. It is said of Bishop Grant, who lecture in Helena the 13th, at his preaching is so spiritual and powerful that he has never traced a sermon that some soul not been brought to Christ. It is a pity that his sojourn here in Helena will be of such short dura- tion, as the field is sadly in need of pritual food from the most hum- nicitizen even up to our public socials. Our gambling exposures of course have queered us with that eternity, and we do not know what the officials whose negligence we also exposed are also are; but that does not hinder or alter us from showing them up, and our fight against crime and judicial negligence in public positions have only just begun. It is very evident that the oosevelt and Folk idea of civic unity and integrity have no abiding place with the men who are running things in the capital city. THE PLANDEALER, which has a general circulation in the city and site will continue, however, to remind these officials of the direction of the official oaths and obliquities. The principal object sought by THE PLAINDEALER in its exposure of open gambling which is tolerated by the city officials, is, Who is getting the revenue? If gambling is going to be allowed, the city should get the revenue. As it is, to a man up the true it looks like GRAFT. In dealing out misery to J. H. Bucker the authorities need not think for a moment that they are in any measure affecting the PLAINDEALER, as he had no connection with this publication whatever, only as a workman in the employ of the proprietor. The name which appears at the head of the editorial column is responsible, and will stand by everything that appears in these columns, and we shall continue to be a flea in the bonnet of those public officials who are direlict in the performance of their duty. AS TO THE GAMBLING That the flagrant violation of the Anti-gambling law is in vogue in this city at the present time is well-known fact; that the same gives vent to the impression that someone is getting something out of it, is equally as strong a fact, and it naturally creates a bad impression. Now as to the facts, we do not know, and we are loathe to believe that any of the officials are in on the deal to receive any bonus for protection to the violaters of this law. But as we foresaid it creates a bad impression, and gives room for a how all along the line, and if this system is to continue we verily believe the city should receive revenue for it, and then no suspicion for graft could possibly exist. POLITICAL SNAP-SHOTS. LaCroix's record as County Attorney, when put in print (as it will be) will not add any lustre to his record in that position, but on the contrary we verily believe will show his stewardship of that important position to be not only lamentably weak, but an ignominious failnre. It is the concensus of opinion all over the State that W. A. Clark is not sincere in his declaration that he is out of the senatorial race. Hon. Lee Mantles, supporters for the U.S. Senatorship are legion, and there is no question but that he will be the leading candidate of the republican party for the coveted plum. C. A. Spaulding, it is stated on good authority, will contest LaCroix's claim for a second term, as a lawyer, Spaulding lays it all over LaCroix, and he should have no trouble in defeating him for the democratic nomination. The doughty and energetic alderman from the First Ward, John Wendell, is laying awake nights for a feasible plan for the people to secure a proper supply of water at the lowest possible rate, for which, if he succeeds, they shall be under lasting obligations. Longmaid is the chief kicker in the council; he objects to almost everything except Longmaid. The very efficient County Superintendent, Miss M. V. Smith, has been indefatigable in her efforts to make the Lewis and Clarke County schools second to none, and the splendid conditions which maintain all over the county show how well she has succeeded. In starting on his campaign for a renomination we wonder if LaCroix will remember the severe reprimand which Judge Clements gave him. Police Judge Horn, when shown a copy of the PLAINDEALER, containing the Law on gambling, turned it loose as he would a red hot potato, and then said, "I do not believe that there is any open gambling going on. The County primaries will be held late this month or early in September. Mr. D. A. Corey, who has made one of the best commissioners Lewis and Clarke County ever had, is serving the people at the sacrifice of his private business. Mr. Corey is a splendid gentleman, and no doubt could be elected hands down this fall for that position if he would consent to run. Hon. Thomas H. Carter will be the principal speaker at the Sweet Pea Carnival to be held at Bozeman on the 11th. Helena, Montana, Friday, August 3, 1906. POLICE OFFICIALS PAY NO HEED TO VIOLATION OF ANTI-GAMBLING LAW.

THE CITY SHOULD RECEIVE THE REVENUE. Now the PLAINDEALER is interested in the proposition to the extent of a matter of news, and its position is against graft, and we, of course, investigated far enough to find out that the city is getting no revenue. The question then naturally arises, Who Is? If it is the sense of the present administration to countenance crime and protect violators of the law. The city should get the money because it is hard to convince the average layman that if these games are being allowed to run, that someone is not getting something for it. PAY THE CITY. If gambling is to be allowed to it not be better for all concerned the old way of levying fines prevail? there could be no suspicion of graft favoritism toward anyone. In the system of gambling wide open the fder and ask where's the GRAF If gambling is to be allowed to run, would it not be better for all concerned that the same old way of levying fines prevail? And then there could be no suspicion of graft or political favoritism toward anyone. In the present system of gambling wide open the people, won der and ask where's the GRAFT? Who's getting the money for protection?

ALL BEGINNING SOMETIMES A L And then it puts the city in a bad light as it were,—a hypocritical pretense of hiewing to the line, it falters and falls in the mire. We shall continue to call the attention of the officials to this matter as long as these violations continue. SMALL BEGINNING SOMETIMES A LARGE ENDING. Of course they may say, "Oh, that paper is of no consequence;" but that may be where they err. In Antideluvian times they said Noah was a fool and did not amount to anything, but the flood came just the same and they all perished. They said John Brown was crazy, that his raid on Harper's Ferry would be of no avail, but he kindled a spark which swept over and devastated a nation and destroyed human slavery. The PLAINDEALER in its mission of Peace, Prosperity and Union, in its humble capacity can only warn eht people and we shall have the satisfaction of knowing we have performed our duty. In the meantime if sworn pnublic officials can disregard their oaths all well and good it is with them and their God. And NERO still FIDDLES while ROME BURNS. Spirit of the Negro Press. Secretary Taft must have forgotten something during his recent trip to North Carolina to address the Republican State Convention. Surely he didn't connive at that remarkable deliverance, outbidding the Democrats in the matter of Negro disfranchisement. Or can it be that Taft was onto the scheme and contgmplates a plank of this kind in his own platform should he be a candidate for the presidency.—FREEMAN. Knocks of a Newspaper Man. Knocks of a Newspaper Man. "If a newspaper man knew how many knocks are received behind his back he would adopt another calling," remarked a citizen the other day. The citizen is mistaken. The newspaper man who has the elements that make success to him expects to be maligned by every law breaker, swindler, hypocrite and carping critic who loves notoriety, and is ignored, and in fact, by all who do not agree with him on public and private matters. The newspaper man who expects to go through life without being misrepresented and unjustly censured should make arrangements to die young.—Ex. San Francisco is again wide open; that is to say, she is permitting vice in every form to run riot. So sinful was the city for years that Christian people frequently predicted some awful visitation of destruction to befall her, and so it did, but the scenes and sorrows of that terrible visitation are soon forgotten, and the city is at it again even worse than before.—SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. George Carliss, an Afro-American, head tanner for the Miller Brothers Company, is said to be the only man who knows how to make patent leather that will not crack. At any rate, his firm guarantees the leather he makes not to crack. This process is the invention of Mr. Carliss, who keeps it a dead secret. It is said that even the firm for which he works does not perfectly know how he does it. Three years ago a rival firm tried to steal the secret. A spy was sent to investigate the Afro-American's chemicals, and while monkeying with them got blown up for his pains. — COLORADO STATESMAN. Columbus and Greenwood Negroes are operating in the State of Mississippi, twelve banks, two each at Jackson and Vicksburg, and one each at Indianola, Hattiesburg, Natchez, Mound Bayou, Greenville, Yazoo City, Columbus and Greenwood. These banks, of course, must meet the requirements of the Mississippi State laws, and all of them appear to be doing splendid business. (The last two named have not opened for business yet.) All these banks, except possibly two, have been opened for business during the administration of the famous Governor Vardaman.

The tenets of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks must be something like that of the Southern Christian Church before the War, which said to the slave, that there would be a kitchen in Heaven for him if he would be obedient to his master. In other words, it believes that charity and morality are distinctly white virtues to be held above the reach of Negroes. In no other way can the action of the Elks' grand lodge be looked upon in appropriating money to fight colored Elks. Such action is convincing proof of the shallowness of whatever professions they make toward what are admitted to be Christian practices.—STATESMAN. The Jim Crow Exhibition at Jamesstown. There is not a person possessed of the smallest grain of commonsense, who does not know of all the preposterous proclamation and pretension about the desirability of special exhibits by Colored people at the Jamestown fair at Norfolk and Hampton Roads, misleadingly denominated Jamestown, emanate from and are encouraged by the chief advocate and promoter of race separation and class distinctions, who seizes all such occasions for booming himself. Whether at Atlanta, at St. Louis, or at Norfolk, the story is the same. How will it help me fool the people. We take occasion to say that we are opposed to all race and color discrimination, and distinction of every name and nature between citizens of this republic. We want the men in public authority the servants of the people from the President of the United States down to the most insignificant to understand this and lay it well to heart. Giles B Jackson, the ready pliant creature of the hour, has no conception of the right relation of the citizen to his country, or of the country to the citizen, and is not accountable for his consumate folly in asking and being willing to be set apart from the rest of the American people, whether under the august and unequal laws of Virginia, or under some equally improper and un-American enactment of Congress, but it is scandalous to hear agents of the United States Government announce that money is to be spent for this Jim Crow exhibition under governmental oversight, authority and approval. Nothing could be more objectionable, no matter how considered. The achievements of Colored men in this country is in whatever field of endeavor as the work of Americans, ever loyal, ever patriotic, and should be so regarded without qualification of any sort. Let us have an end once and for all of this relic of barbarism and slavery which refuses at this late day to look beyond color to the man behind it.—BOSTON GUARDIAN. will come to our Second Hand De- livery, Carpets, Stoves and House artment is not filled with old s that have been used slightly ly as good as new.

July 30,—Twe yachts coming in from the fishing banks capsied on Herefore inlet bat Sunday and eight persons lost theit lives. There were 32 persons on on¢ yacht, of whom seven were lost, and 12 on the other. That there were not more victims was due to Captain Hen: ry S.

Anglesea is one of the favorite fish- ing places along the New Jersey coast, and has seldom had a busier day than today. Every excursion train from Philadelphia and other nearby points came crowded with visitors, most of them intending to spend the day in fishing. ‘The two boats that got Into trouble were the sloop yacht Nora and the sloop Alvin B. As the Nora keeled over she was hit by a huge wave and turned completely over, throwing the 32 occupants Into the sea, A government life boat, commanded by Captain Ludiam of the Hereford Inlet life saving station, hove in sight, and after some manoeuvering manag- ed to get close to the capsized vessel. Captain Ludlam’s work of rescue ‘was most propitious, as the rough sea was constantly pounding the life boat great tangle of fishing lines and nets, and it was no doubt due to this that #0 many were unable to reach the cap- sized boat. When the Alvin B. was seen to cap- tize there were several boats in the vicinity, and all but one of its occu- pants were saved. THE WILL OF RUSSELL SAGE. 80,000,000 Is Latest Estimate of Fortune. ‘The will of Russell Sage, which was filed for probate recently bequeaths all of his estate to his widow, Mar garet Oliva Sage, after the payment o! $25,000 to each of his nephews and nieces and $10,000 to his sister, Mrs Fanny Chapin of Onelda, N. Y, Mrs. Chapin died since the will was made. The will also provides that in case of any of its beneficiaries contesting the probate they shall be cut off from any share in the estate. ‘There. was nothing in the will to show the value of the estate. The will was dated February 11, 1901, and was sworn to by Edward Townsend and R. W. Freedman as witnesses. It consists of about 800 words. While there was nothing in the will to show the value of Mr. Sage’s estate, attorneys for Br.

Cheefo—Lieutenant Clarence Eng land, navigating officer of the United States cruiser Chattanooga, was wounded recently by a rifle bullet fired by a member of the crew of the French armored cruiser Du Petit Thouars and died 6 hours later. The Chattanooga, with Lieutenant Eng land on the bridge, was proceeding trom the harbor to the target range, just outside, and was passing the French squadron, which was anchored near the American squadron and was engaged in small arms practice, ‘The Chattanooga, after everal bullets had struck the side of the ship, signalled to the Frenchmen to cease firing, but before this was done Lieutenant England was struck in the back at the base of the spine, probably by a ricochet bullet, which left his body under the arm. The crew of the Dn Petit Thouars later continued their practice from the deck of the cruiser. Have Leased San Francisco Block.

LATE NEWS NOTES. | Lying at the morgue at Coeur a’ Alene City Idaho, bands and feet burn- | ed off and bodies and faces burned to an unrecognizable crisp, are the re- mains of Earnest Miles, aged 24, and J. B. Straup, aged 24 years, and mar- ried. ‘The two men had been escorted to the Carscallon Navigation company’s supply boathouse. Aboat 1 o'clock in the morning Charles Sawley, living in |* nearby boathouse, discovered the Uar- scallon boathouse on fire. Not antil the side of the burning house fell in were the hodies of the two men discov- ered, surrounded by # seething mass of flames. The boathouse burned to the water's edge. The bodies were remov- ed to the morgue. It is thought from the position in which the bodies were discovered that both men sat down at opposite ends of the table, on which was a lighted lamp. Both probably fell asleep, and in falling from thtir chairvs swept the lamp off the table, setting fire to the house. The flames soon *pread to a tank of gasoline,which exploded, filling the building almost immediately with burning gas Both men were employes of the Carscallon Navigation company and well thought of by their employers.

Loyal Troops Fire on Mutineers with Machine Guns, Several Were Killed —A General Strike to be Declared in St. Petersburg—Samenkoff Escaped Prison—Postal Car Robbed. Poltava, July 30.—A grave outbreak occurred yesterday in the Sevski regiment, following the arrest of a private of the First battalion, who was discovered with revolutionists. The entire First battalion accompanied by a large crowd, paraded the streets in defiance of the military authorities. The soldiers proceed to the artillery barracks, where they seized several guns and marched with them to the prison, where the political prisoners are confined. At this stage all the remainder of the Poltava garrison was called out. The loyal troops fired on the mutineers with machine guns as they were engaged in breaking down the gate of the prison. Seceral men were killed or wounded. The outbreak was not suppressed for several hours. At Shusha the governor divided the quarters inhabited by the Tartars and Armenians by a "dead line," which neither faction was permitted to cross. The Tartars violated the order not to cross and commenced battle. The garrison interfered when the combat became general and bombarded without partiality both camps with 21 guns. The town is said to have been to a large extent destroyed. A plenary meeting of the St. Petersburg council of workmen's deputies, representing 130,000 working men, was held today. The members agreed that a general strike must be declared later, as the present moment would be untimely. There is jubilation among the revolutionists over the escape from prison at Sebastopol of Samenkoff, who is believed to have been an accomplice in the attempt last May on the life of General Neptueff. This escape sets at liberty one of the most dangerous revolutionary organizers in Russia. A party of men armed with revolvers forced their way yesterday into the Boussel printing establishment here. They made the foreman a prisoner and prevented the compositors from leaving the building. They then had printed 150,000 copies of the manifesto by the outlawed parliament.

North and Phil Ebenhardt have bonded the Snowshoe mine, near Wallace, Idaho, in which the recent sensational copper strike was made. The property adjoins the Snowstorm on the west. There is considerable excitement at Osburn, Idaho, over reports from the New Hope mine, on Two Mile creek, regarding the recently reported galena strike. Miners say that 13 feet of ore are now in sight in the crosscut of the vein, and the opposite wall of the vein has not yet been encountered. The ore is of high grade. Reports from the Duncan mine, Greenwood, B. C., show that considerable work has been done during the year, among this being 300 feet of open cuts, 156 feet of sinking and 320 feet of drifting. The lead is five feet between walls, with a paystreak of more than a foot. A recent sample assayed $253.63 in silver.

The British Columbia Copper company has received several cars of machinery for its plant in process of reconstruction and enlargement near Greenwood. Development work on the Pathfinder mine near Grand Forks, B. C., has been discontinued and no cause for the stoppage of the work has been given, but it is reported that as soon as Superintendent Hodges returns to Grand Forks new development work will be started, probably in the form of diamond drilling and in the running of a long tunnel in a virgin spot on the property. Reports are that the Great Northern is about to take a hand in the mining affairs of Rossland, B. C., camp, owing a lack of ore tonnage for the Red Mountain railway. According to W. Clayton Miller, manger of the Federal Mining & Smelting company, the recent strike of ore in the Morning mine, near Mullan, Idaho, is of great proportions. At the Trail, B. C., smelter there were 5491 tons of ore received during last week. Boundary ore shipments and smelter treatment now exceed the 700,000 ton mark for this year. It is said petitions are being circulated among the millmen of Wallace district, to be presented to the mine managers in due course of time, asking for an eight hour day for all millmen and surface workers, the same as has been granted the underground men.

D. Haywood and George A. Pettibone, the three Denver miners, confined in jail in Idaho, at any cost, even if it took a revolution to free them. "More than 1,000,000 workingmen in the United States will rise up and demand that these men be liberated," said Mr. Debs. "I will be at the head of this 1,000,000 to assist in liberating them, by bloodshed, if necessary, but peaceably, if possible." The occasion for the speech made by Debs was a meeting of the Moyer-Haywood defense organization at St. Louis. BITS OF NORTHWEST NEWS.

The letter was turned over to Chief of Police John Flannery, who after a twelve-hour search located the woman. She was found to be in good physical condition, and Chief Flannery today said that there need be no cause for fear for her safety, as she was in good hands. Where the woman was located Cnief Flannery declined to state, declaring that it would be a violation of confidence. Wednesday's Daily Record.

The famous Dixie Concert Company which started out under such favorite auspices, and whose performance was of a high grade character in music and comedy, has come to grief, and its dissolution occurred on last Monday. The trouble seems to be that the ghost which was scheduled to walk on that day failed to make its appearance, at which the members became leary, and dire threats were made against the management; the restaurant man refused to feed them, the rooming houses failed to give them shelter, and there was no place for the Sons of Ham to lay their heads. Bill Bailey ceased to sing, "Let Me Down Easy," and things certainly looked squally for a time. It is unfortunate that the company did not receive a paying patronage, as it was composed of really good per Pat. P. Smith. ADVERTISE in the Plaindealer.

MERRIMAG HOBSON ON YELLOW PERIL. MERRIMAG HOBSON ON YELLOW PERIL. SAYS WAR WITH JAPAN IS INEVITABLE. AND PREDICTS SPLIT IN REPUBLICAN PARTY. (Special to The World.) Sioux City, Ia., July 7.—Richard Pearson Hobson was here this week with his grip full of "yellow peril." "Japan inspired the boycott in China of American goods," declared the Merrimac hero, "and I believe that the Mikado's kingdom is secretly arming the Chinese for the inevitable conflict between the United States and Japan for commercial supremacy in the Far East. Japan will own the Philippine Islands at some not distant date. Capt. Hobson, who is to run for Congress in Alabama, spent a portion of the day here, en route to Le Mars, La., where he will try to divide oratorical honors with Senator La Follotte at the Chautauqua Assembly. "It has become evident," said Hobson, "that though Japan publicly stands for the open door policy, it is secretly making preparations for commercial warfare with this country. Anticipating that this struggle may result in armed forces being sent into the vast empire coveted by the entire world, Japan is arming the Chinese, and together the yellow race and the brown will wage bloody strife. "Japan has been made insufferably arrogant by her victory over Russia, and no nation seems too large for her to combat to carry out a determined purpose. The alliance between Japan and Great Britain is being used as a blind, while these sinister but secret efforts are being put forth." Speaking of politics, Capt. Hobson predicted there would be a split in the Republican Party, and that the result would probably be the election of Bryan to the Presidency in 1908. Roosevelt is the only man he thinks can possibly defeat the Nebraska, but even he cannot prevent the split in the party, and might not be able to overcome the accumulating popularity of Bryan. There is on element of which the corporations are the head and centre which is unyieldingly opposed to Roosevelt or any man like him. This, Mr. Hobson thinks, is sure to result in party defection.

"Don't advertise if you believe you are wasting money. Let your competitor waste his money on advertising, and perhaps in this way you'll soon put him out of business. Just stand back and laugh at him when you see him squandering his money for printers' ink. Once there was a boy named,—we think his last name was Wanamaker, or maybe Moneymaker; a yhow, his name was John, with some sort of a maker a'tached yards of calico, three pairs of jeans, and a half dozen pairs of boots. He called this a dry goods store through a Philadelphia newspaper, and offered to sell a pair of socks for $5 ---
