no tenantwill trouble him-elfto gath

from himby the owner of the land,
org ven b the next tenant, without
his receiving one cent for his trouble.
We hopethe matter will be taken to
the Suprme Court, for we believe
that no ach unjust decision would
be affirmed by it. Here is his opin-
ion:
This isan action brought in the
Trial Juitice Court torecover guam
tity OF sable and lot manure made
by thetafenaaDt upon a farm which
he had sub. rented from Mr.. Beat
ty, who was a tenant of Mr..
Godfrey, who owned the land
as trustee. The tenancy and sub-ten-
ancy were for the year 1879, and the
trustee made sale uf the land to the
plaintiff in the beginning of Decem-
ber, 1879, between which date Of
conveyance and the first day of jan
uaty, 1880, the defendant hauled off
the manure to another farm in the
vicinity. The main question in the
Court below was whether this outgo-
ing tenants asagainst the vendee, had
a rAht to the manure, or whether it
belonged to and passed with the
really.
Tie trial justice gave judgment for
the plaintiff vendee for the delivery
of the manure, or fifty dollars as its
value in case it cannot be delivered.
The appeal to this Court brings up
this Question for determination. The
facts Il the case are agreed upon and
preseated to the Court in written
state nent forming part OF these
proceedings. 1t is admitted that be-
Tween Mr., Godfrey and his tenant

Beatty, who had made it in the same
say. Mr.. Godfrey had rarely visited

WHO Is TO BLAME:

RESOLVED, That the Printing Law which
disgraces our statute book is the image and
type of that licentious spirit which has char
acterized the dominant party in Montana dur
ing the last sixteen years of its history, and
we demand its instant and utter repeal
Montana Republican Platform.
While we have nothing to say in defense of
the Printing Law, but on the contrary a great
deal in its condemnation, there are neverthe-
less a few facts which we would recall to the
minds of the self righteous republican GEN.
sors of the Montana democracy. The law in
question was passed when there was a dem
ocratic majority in each house of the Montana
legislature true. But that majority was con-
siderably less than two-thirds, and had the
Objectionable law not received the signature
of a republican governor it could never have
foend a place among the Montana statutes.
The governor, having been selected OH &C
count of his patriotism, wisdom, and many
olher excellencies, is far more truly the repre-
sentative of the republican party than were
the gentlemen who happened to fill our
legislative halls during that session represent
atives of the democracy. His part was fully
as active as theirs in the enactment Of the
law, and the measure in ali its iniquity is to
be credited to the republicans fully as much
as to the democrats. As much! Yes, and
far more. Take a common sense view of the
situation. When first proposed the act was
at once recognized as an INSCRIPTIONS party
measure, and also as the serviceable weapon
of private malice and v'ndictiveness cherished
in a certain quarter. Merely as a party
measure it could not have been enacted.
Knowing from its nature that it would call
out a strict party vote; and knowing that
they commanded less Than the majority re-
quired to pass such ii bill over the governors
veto, the democrats would have been merely
wasting valuable time, and counting defeat
besides, had they brought forward such a bill
without an lntimation from headquarters that
it would receive executive approval. The
circumstatia evidence is so strong that we
regard it as substantial proof of the fact that
the Printing Law as it now disgraces the
Montana statutes was in the first place the
incubation of a republican brain breeding over
real or fancied wrongs and meditating re-
venge. Let the republicans take home to
their W party the major part of whatever
credit or blame is due from the enactment
Of the Printing Law.

administer our laws is not democratic. 1t is
beaurocratic and is in strict keeping with the
policy of the party of monopoly. If the
democrats come into power no effort will
be spared to bring about a change in
this iniquitous system, and it is to
our interest to elect as delegate the
man who stands pledged to do his
utmost towards bringing about the change,
and who from his intimate knowledge with
the present system and its evils, as well as
his graceful auency of speech and personal
acquaintance with our party chiefs, would
have more influence in that direction than
any other whom we could name. That man
is Major Maginnis. Montanians who are
tired of a judicial bench composed of judges
who never saw a mine, and to whom mining

Montanians who are tired of seeing judges of
this stripe presiding in courts in which intri-
cate and important mining suits are tried,

ton will be to secure the right of selfgovern-
ment for the people of the territories.

CONCERNING SCRATCHERS.

Following the nominations confer red in
our county conventions there is invariably
more or less talk of "kickers'' and ''scratch-
ers," and this among the members of both
parties. one fully as much as the other. Let
us consider the status of the individual who.
while protesting allegiance to a political par
Ly, nevertheless reserves the right to "kick'
by inducing his frie DIS to ''scratch' a more
fortunate competitor.
Long familiarity with party machinery is
likely to re. der us unmindful of the nature
and purposes of a political convention, and it
will be proper for us to begin by considering
in the first place what a convention really is,
and the nature of the work it is designed to
accomplish. Political parties are made up of
bodies of men whose bono of union is the
common acceptance among them of certain
ideas or doctrines respecting the government
of the country, ideas which they desire to see
reduced to practice, and which, accordingly,
they are continually recommending to their
fellow men as the best that can be designed,
and consequently as worthy of their approval
and adoption. But such political parties must
have a living, active representation. 1t is not
enough that certain ideas or principles should
find a passive acceptance among a greater or
lesser number of the people. The party form
ed by their acceptance must devise means of
making its influence felt of proving its vi
tality, and still more of testing its strength in
order that from time to time there may be-
furnished the data necessary for calculating
the rate at which the doctrines in question
are being either accepted by the people or re-
jected, as the popular judgment may decide.
This representation is found in the selection
of representatives who are put forward as can
didates for public offices in the gift of the
people. Those offices are, very likely, SIM
ply administrative. Their duties may not be
of a political nature in ever so slight a degree;
still it is eminently proper that candidates for
those offices should be brought forward by a
political party. Looking at the matter from
a purely non.party standpoint, and consider.
ing the work on hand to be the selection OF
the best men to be had for the offices to be
filled, it will scarcely be questioned that the
political party is the best and safest iDstru.
mentality that can be employed in the Sc
lection of those men. Since every citizen be-
longs to one political party or another, it fol-
lows that the very best man that can be Sc

The late hard times in Ireland have caused
a decided falling of in the number of mar
riages. In 1870 the marriages consummated
in Ireland numbered 1886 less than the av-
erage for the ~ years preceding, a confirma-
ton of the unromantic statement of the sta

in number according to the price of wheat.
