Justice I'm the Territories.

A Montana correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, who sends an account of the
execution of Roberts at Virginia city, closes
as follows: ''Mention was made above of the
service rendered by the men who found the
body of Morris. The experience of one will
illustrate how they were treated by Govern
ment The name of the unfortunate is VIM.
A. Allen, an intelligent blacksmith of very
limited means. When subpenaed to appear
before the Grand Jury, in March last, he was
employed by stage company at Miles city.
He was compelled to 60 from there to Vir-
ginia city, distance of 400 miles. His
actual expenses were over $500, and the
amount allowed him by the Government was
$43. He was not only obliged to walk home,
but he lost his situation on account of his
absence. When the September term arrived,
he was employed as post farrier at Fort Gus
ter. Again be was compelled to attend court
at heavy pecuniary loss, and the great re-
public stopped his pay while he was gone.
This instance of the injustice connected with
the administration of justice in the Terri

out of the procrustean legislation of Congress
which establishes the same mileage in the
States, where the cost of transportation per
mile averages about 3cts, and in the Terri
tories, where it averages fully 12cts.

Mrs. Belle Chamberlain.

be medium, able to see and communicate

she was engaged in answering questions
asked by different ones of the audience, and
concluded the entertainment by describing
the appearance of numerous spirits which
she claimed to see in proximity to GER
tain ones in different parts of the audience.
While we do not believe in the teachings or

Chamberlain is remarkable person. Is she

Delay In Building the RntIe Telegraph
Line.

The Western Union Telegraph authorities
recently ordered loup line of wire to be
strung from White Hall to Butte, but the or
der, as Superintendent Hibbard considers,
comes too late to undertake the work this
season for the contract price authorized, and
the line therefore will not be constructed this
year. This will be real disappointment to
Butte, which stands greatly in need of tele-
graphic communication. If the town is thus
obliged to wait, it may be able another spring
to obtain connection with the new military
line expected next month to be completed to
Bozeman, from which point wires already
reach to Helena and Deer Lodge.

Full precinct returns are slow in reaching

therefore been summarized only. Following
the official canvass we expect the county re-
suit in detail. In the meantime we can an
nounce that advices from Bannack, where the
precincts are mostly heard from, indicate the
election of most of the Democratic ticket.
The exceptions are Dart, for Treasurer. and
Sears, for Probate Judge. The Democrats
elect Barrett, Councilman ). Barbour, Repre-
sentative; Graeter, Clerk and Recorder; !;
Murray, Sheriff, and probably Meltin, Hamil-

WHAT CAUSE3

IT is briefly announced in Washington
telegram that Russell B. Harrison has been
appointed Assayer at Helena, Montana. csce
Charles Rumley, suspended. The cause for
this change is mystery to our people, and
it is unnecessary to state that it takes this
community by surprise. Mr.. Rumley is a
thoroughly capable, attentive, laborious and
honest official. THERE'S absolutely no requisite
essential to the most efficient understanding
of his duties that he can be said to lack, and
that he has discharged such duties acceptably
both to the people and the Government we
have the best reasons to suppose. We know
that his administration of the Assay Office
has been most satisfactory to the business
and mining public of Montana, and the off,
cial letters of Director Linderman are in the
highest sense complimentary. We are utterly
at loss, therefore, to understand for what rea-
son this faithful officer, who has toiled often
eighteen and twenty hours day, has sacrl-
feed health, and given up his own scanty
means for two or more months to pay en-
ployees and keep the Assay Office in motion,
should be suspended from his position.
Here is an officer, who has been at his post,
night and day, continuously at work, with
scarcely intermissions sufficient for food and
sleep, summarily removed for no cause known
to himself or to the people among whom he
lives and where his Office is. Contrast this
officer and his record with another-the Sec
retary of Montana. This latter official, for
the year and half and more that he has
been commissioned, has not altogether, been
present in or occupied his Office one calendar
month. He has been an alien to his office,
and the Capital has seen nothing of him save
at rare intervals of a few days each in the
entire period for which he has received his
pay. The Office, jobbed out to
cheap understrappers about the Executive
department has for the most part been
wholly without tenant except as the hired
porters kept their short watches over the
public archieves and property stored in the
warerpoms. Yet this off,
Ger remains, draws regularly his full salary,
and defes any and all to bulge him from his
place, while he continues to huxter to the
lowest bidder the opening and shutting of his
office doors and keep the official machine in
order. Is it because Assayer
Rumley has not, like Secretary Mills, aban-
boned his Office and given his attention
chiefly to his private affairs, that he is called
upon to vacate and make room for another
If not this, is it because he has tried too dill
gently to serve the government by excessive
over hours of hard work; or because he has
divided with workmen his own small pay to
keep in operation the assaying and melting
business of the government mineral shop?
We sadly lack, as everybody in Montana
seems to lack, knowledge of the cause why |
Charles Rumley is suspended. Who will be
first to post the public?

The Republican Triumph In MaO1sO"'
lMadisOnian.] !

IMadisOnian.]
The result of the election on Tuesday was
as much of surprise to the victors as to the
yanquished. While the impression was
general that the Republicans would secure
many of the offices, it was not supposed they
would get them by so sweeping majority as
the returns show. A great many OF the Demo-
Gratis largely exceed their usual amount OF
"scratching," and to this is the victory OF
their opponents due. The Democratic noml-
nees were "wounded"- slaughtered, is per-
haps the better word-''in the house OF their
friends" We are, of course. chagrined
little at the unexpected turn of affairs, but
can only hope for ''better luck next time.

StrahOrn's Travels In Montana.

Mr.. and Mrs. Strahorn are back from their
tour to Western, Southern and Eastern Mon
tana. In the circuit were included visits to
Deer Lodge, Butte, Glendale, Virginia City,
Bozeman, and other points along the route of
travel. Mr.. Strahorn has accumulated vast
amount of valuable information and data
which his clever practice will weave into the
pages of his coming book. 1t will be VOL
ume of great interest, and the illustrations
will embrace some of the most magnificent
natural scenery of Montana. Mr.. Kimball,
of the Union Pacific Railroad, is understood
to favor another important undertaking con-
ceived by the fertile brain of Mr.. Strahorn-
the publication of monthly illustrated paper
of many thousands of copies for gratuitous
circulation in the States and along the lines
of railway, each number to be separately de-
voted to information concerning some one OF
the Western Territories, until all OF them
have been thus advertised. 1t is contemplated
to prepare business directories in brief form,
to occupy a certain amount of space in the
paper. This feature will be carried out if the
mercantile and business public are found
favorable to the scheme, of which we think
there can be little or no doubt We hope it
will be tried.
