The Sunday Law Petition.

Copies oI d Petition To the Territorial
Legislature of Montana, requesting the
enaction Of law prohibiting the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors on Sundays and elec-
ton days, were recently circulated for the
signatures Of persons fayoring the passage
of such an act Some Of the Territorial
journals spoke favorably of the petition,
and we believe none had word to say
against it except the Njssoaziaa, which
made long-winded, abortive effort TO
prove that legislation for the moral welfare
of the people was imprachcable and un-
wise.
It is a singtlar fact that al arguments
advanced by the opponents Of prohibition
are but repetitions Of one proposition, which
distinctly bears upon it's face its own con
tradiction, Drunkenness will prevail and
it cannot be prevented" or, men will drink
and it is wrong to legislate against their
right to do So And On this craven plea,
as false in fact as it il monstrous in prin-
ciple, all their arguments invariably hinge,
no matter in what shape Or under what cir
cumstances they present them and On
this Aimsy argument, % weak that
child might refute it, the friends ofdebaueh-
cry would have the areh-enemy ofmankind
to continue unrestricted his carnival Of
ruin, misery and death With equal rea
con they might claim that, since burglary
arson and murder cannot be prevented, it
is wrong To make laws restricting them !;
since men will commit crime, they ought
not to be restrained from So doing.
For the purpose of frustrating tie com
mendable object of the petition, the his
soasZton has reproduced the nearest sem
blance to an argument that the friends Of
the liquor-traffie have as Jet been able to
advance, and il 50 doing has misstated
facts and proved nothing but its own IS
norance of the subject. It says: Where
ever the Maine Liquor Law has been il
force, 1t has. been practically dead letter
except III the rural districts and smaller
villages" The strenuous efforts repeat
edly made to have this law revoked gives
the lie to this assertion for when ! laV
becomes d dead letter it loses all interest
for any one and ceases To 1e an object q /
attack or defense. Tor example, ne have

agitated before
They al now approached the girl, and
Joe Miner addressed her in her native
tongue,
She was evidently much frightened and
would in that condition hardly give any
information or make an answer.
q They are very queer beings, these In
dians,' said Bill, "and it requires some
little diplomacy to make them eommunica-
tive when strangers are present. Stand
back, gentlemen, and let me speak to her
alone

Miner; and please tel Ier that ] am a
friend % her and al her people,
The young girl At FIRST sat perfectly mo-
tionless; she then leaned forward and drew
figures ia the soft soil Of the floor with her
finger, and at last from time to time she
would throw back her head and utter a
low moaning sound.
When asked by Antelope Bill" in a
kindly voice as to the cause Of her agita-
ton, she quickly told her story, after which
springing to her feet with q piercing scream
she rushed from the room into the outer
darkness.
Antonio, the m4il-rider has met with q
serious ACCIDENT said Bill rising quickly
g he has been thrown from his horse and
is lying at the foot Of the hill with broken
leg. Let US be off at once, boys"
They all rushed out to the well-known
spot, and soon returned to the cabin, car

van, showed in every hneameat Of her ex-

Of Antonio had afflicted herself. They were
betrothed to each other, and this very

We are in receipt Of Governor Potts
Message to the Ninth Legislative Assembly
Of Montana. It contains many practicable
suggestions which we are u9able in this
issue to review.
The Governor recommends the eonsoli-
dation Of certain County Offices, as step
towards placing the local indebtedness in
the course of liquidatiou-to combine the
County Clerks office with that Of the Pro
bate Judge, and have the Sheriff perform
the duties of Treasurer
Thinks that the legislative powers as
sumed and exercised bY County Commis-
sioners should be prohibited, and recon
mends that supervisory power be grant
ed to the District Court over County Com.
lnissioners.
Invites the attention Of the Legislature
.to.slse benefit to be.deriyed from allowing
public officials a fixed salary; the fees here
tofore charged against litigants to be com.
pated to a fxed sum, and paid into the
County Treasury.
Recommends the issue of new bonds,
payable in seven years, bearing interest at
ten per cent per annum; and the increase
Of the Territorial levy to four and one-half

down q steep and high emhankment,
striking his body with terrible force against
an immense rock. Zuleima, who had wan

his arrival, bad witnessed the occurrence,
and after finding her own strength INSULT

repaired to the cabin for help.

:" You shall be married all the same this
very night, and your happiness shall be
but little marred BY the accident" sooth-
ingly said Antelope Bill" Judge Drum

Bill then pulled from the inside pocket
in the breast of his Woolen shirt roll Of
paper money and deposited twenty-dol-
lar note in Zulemna's hand

character, which an afectionate mother
had sent to him from the far off home.
Joe Miner wiped tear from out Of the

pleasant thoughts Of home while deeipher-
