THE HELENA SKELETON.

Ii there is anything held in universal
contempt by mankind it is dupIicity.
An open enemy may be respected, bat a
scheming, tTeacherous, deceitful foe is
despicable. 1t viii be remembered that
in the Helena Democratic Convention
the following resolutions were offered:
Resolved, That the payment of the public
debt Is a solemn duty resting upon the gov
eminent and that the people should eheerfully
submit to any just system of taxation neces-
sary to enable the government TO discharge
this duty, bat no tax should be levied except
to meet the necessary expenses of the govern
ment and sustain the public credit.
Resolved, That the exemption from tax
alton of United states bond holders Is lifting
the burden from the rich, and placing the ex-
penses of the government upon the laboTing
class and consumers.
These were rejected, the Democracy
of Montana cOmpressing their ideas on
the national debt and taxation into this
one brief resolution which was adopted.
Resolved, That we are in favor of equal
taxation
If ever lGDguage was used TO conceal
thought it was in that resolution. 1t
means simply this, that the Convention
did not recognize the solemn duty of
paying the national debt; that they ig-
nored the position taken by their party
in California, and, not daring to avow

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

The following letter, hthograph af-
fair, and probably sent to hundreds in
this Territory was received per last mail
by a gentleman of this city. 1t bears up
on it's face the indellible impress of a
swindle. The idea conveyed is that the
party sending twenty dollars in gold
will certainly receive 81, 100 in gold as a
prize, but a notice of the careful wording
and punctuation will show that the
writers DO not even make such a pro-
mise, and show duplicity and artifice
even in the outset. 1t is ostensibly a
circular from the agents of the Royal
Havana Lottery" as the accompanying
scheme" bears the title, Grand Havana
Lottery" and makes mention of the
Royal Havana" on the margin. We
warn all persons against investing in
this chance" First, because no honest
men would issue such a circular. Second,
neither circular or scheme shows in what
city or county the drawing is to take
place. Third, it is evident that it is a
counterfeit OF the Royal Havana Lot
terry. Fourth, according to the scheme
there is no margin for any profit what
ever, left to the managers, and this itself
brands it as a swindle. Fifth, no refer
ences are given, and nothing to desig-
nate the location of c. A. Taylor & Co,
except the accompanying envelope. We
hope Taylor & Co., will find no dupes in
Montana.

cate in any of our brilliant extra lotte
ries for nothing, if the first we send you

ing. but TO send you an extra certificate

"ACTIvE SERVICE, LET M BE.

Governor Smith has called for eight
hundred men for the defense of the Ter
ritory, and "active service viii be at
once ordered" That has the true ring
in it. We acknowledge an indebtedness
to the army of observation on the Yel-
lowstone. They have done good service,
more than they will ever be credited
with. The lock on the door is insignifi-
can't and unthought of, but it's absence
bids the burglar welcome, and we then
appreciate its usefulness. The Montana
Militia have been the lock on the door
of this Territory. They have prevented,
and have been the only prevention, to
the scenes within our borders that have
made Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and
neighboring Territories red with the
blood of slaughtered victims to savage
iendishness, and impoverished 10y their
outlawry. Our settlers have been secure
in person and property, while thousands
of the same tribes of Indians have been
encamped within 2j0 miles of our val
leys. We are likely to forget that pre-
vention is better than cure, but the peo-
pie of other sections to-day are unable to
cure what we have prevented. Let the
red monsters be taught lesson. Carry
the war where it belongs, into the heart
of the enemy's country, and teach them
the lesson they need. Governor Smith
has authority to raise volunteers and
conduct this campaign for the welfare of
the citizens of this Territory. There are
no official heads at stake, as were Chiv-
ington's and COnnor's. There are as
good men as they in the field. The way
is open, and unless we have better guar
antees of peace, and assurance that the
Territory will not be again isolated by
the wall of scalping knives, or its pros
perity retarded by the hindrances to
emigration and the transportation of
machinery, let the barbarians be put on
a reservation that will last them until
eternity rolls in through the gates of
time
