trary daclaree that senators are elected ".for s term of four years."
Whatever be the doculon, the political complsctloB of the pressat aea-

ate will participate la the electioa of
a United States seaator, aad   lu
members are of aceoaat. The decision will also effect the senators of
Carbon aad fiweet ilraes counties.
bow send senators for the first time.
Both these ssaators are deBM«rats.
If Slurb, Cooper and   Flowerse are
seated, that Is to amy If It Is held that
the eeaators of bow counties are
elected for four yean, the result will
be:    Democratic  holdovers,  eevea;
repflbllcaB holdovers, two;  populist
holdover, one; vacaaeies to he tiled
at tb* electioa or 1MB, thirteen.  Ob
the other hand, If It were decided
that Sllgh, Cooper and    Floweree
west out of oSJee la lSts, the result
will be: Uemocratlc holdovors, eevea;
repuhlicaB holdovers, four, populist
holdover, one; vacaaeies to he filed
as the election of 18SS, eleven. 1
clevea vacaaeies would be la the
coBBtlea of Cascade. Chateau, Forgo*,
Ftathead, Jefferson.  Madisoa, Ml*-
soula. Silver Bow, Valley, Yellowstone, and either Sweet Gram  or
Carbon, according which one of the
two draws the long term.    In  the
other case there would be vacancies
In all  these counties except Sweet
Grans and Carbon,  in   neither   of
which a vacancy would exist, and in
addition there wjuld be vacancies in
Granite, Ravalli and Teton.
The democrat*, therefore, would be
the gainers If Sligh, Cooper and
Flowerree are seated, for there would
be two less republican holdovers, tbe
same number of democrat holdovers,
and thirteen chances to elect democrats to only eleven If the other plan
should be pursued.

May Not Have a Chaplain.
There seem* to be some question as
to whether tb« ctate senate will have
a chaplain or no. The question came
up Monday and the eeaate started
without electing a chaplain This
innovation. created some comment.
Rev. Wm. I. Hannah, the new senator from Sweet Grass county, voted
with the democrats and against the
motion to select a chaplain at once.
Rev. Mr. Hannah was asked todeflne
bis position on that question, and
did so to the Independent as follows:
"I do not know that there was any
particular season for postponing action today," be said "eor do I know
whether at some future time a man
may. be chosen to III the place,. but I
do know there' Is a lot - ot nonsense
about this custom we have established of praying for the legislature
at so mueh per prayer, out of the
public treasury. They do not open
the meetings of city councils with
prayer, and some councils need praying for as asuch as legislatures. For
my part I don't believe either the
state or the public would suffer much
If the custom were dMaied."

Anaconda Recorder: The Billings
Gasette takes a column and a hair
this week to say It cannot approve of
Congressman Hartman's letter to Dr.
Oliver Lelser of this city, which wa*
published In tbe Recorder a few days
ago. The Gasette has for sometime
leaned very strongly towards the
present administration and perhaps
naturally does not like to eee Secretary Morton aad the rest of the gang
criticised. Asa supporter of O. F.
Goddard during tbe late campaign, It
may be taken for granted that if Mr.
Hartman** letter suited the Gasette,
It would not meet with favor from
the great majority ot the people of
the state. Still the Billings paper
appears to be very much put out over
the Butter, aimoat as much, as if it
had lost BBotber SfiOO check by tbe defeat of Mr. Goddard.
Pnllipsbunr Mall: There is a great
deal of discussion going the •ound* of.
the Montana press these days regarding new couoty division schemes, aha):
Judging from reports tbe next legislature will have it* band* fun making
new counties or, killing them off.
Gome to look at tbf matter In a reasonable way. whjr aboukJot a sectiow
of cuuatry be partitioned off as a aew.
county when It Is showo to posses*
•undent resources for self support?
What matter It If the older counties
who lose sooe territory and revenue
thereby do object? Did not the
"mother country" object to tbe Independence of the Amertcaa colonies I*
177s, and is there anyone who caa see
that a wrong was dene by the signer*
of the declaration of liirttfpwndaac*?
Give tbe new counties a chance.

It is an old adage that neither
orders, associations or enterprise*
ever make permaiient progress, or obtain very satisfactory results endeavoring to build themselves up hf
striving to pull aomeoBe else dowa*
There are always a clam of peopl*
who desire to attend to some oae
else's business besides their own. huh
like tbe fable of the dog who barked
at tbe moon, "the moon kept right
along lust as If nothing bad happen*
*d." "Gush" and "exaggeration'*
are common to tbe earlier days off
mankind, which experience tone*
down. Lincoln said once of a das*
of aewly hedged graduates, who were
rather talkative, that they remloded
him of a lot of pigeoos-"b!ggesfc
when first batched—and all mouth!"

Planting must be begun right, else
no amount of cultivation or fertilizer
can prevent the crop being a failure.
Tbe first step Is the selection or tbe
seed. Do not take any risks here
Get seeds that you can depend upon—
seeds that are fresh, that have a
reputation behind them. The most
