Master Hamp Peacock, now setting type
in this Office, was the first white child born
In the Territory of Montana. Ii happened
on the 18th OF July, 1888, ut . little town
called Marysville. His parents moved to
Boise In 1859, where they have since lived.
We take it that should the youngster ever
visit Montana the old-timen over there
would do the handsome thing by him.

THE CONNOLLY MURDER CASE.

The recent action Of the Supreme Court
in demanding this case for new trial has
caused considerable comment
The alleged reason for this action was
tho omission from the transcript OF the usu-
al endorsements upon the bill Of indict-
mcnt.
The Indspsndent of the 18th inst, in re-
fcrring to this case, reflects severely upon
the Clerk and would lead its readers to
believe that he alone was to censure for the
great trouble and expense Of the new trial
which has been ordered.
Mr.. Al Z. Graster, of Bannaok, the
clerk who made out the transcript In ques-
ton, was In our town when the Independ-
snt article reached here, and having heard
his statement we consider 1t nothing but
fair to present 1t. -.
Mr.. Graeter says he 10 simply clerk and
not an attorney. and that In making up the
transcript be followed closely, and to his
best understanding, the rules Of the Su-
preme Court In regard to transcripts,
which he had before him and he called
our attention to the following clauses Of
tho Supplemental Rules adopted BY the Su-
prone Court at their August term, 1878.
Under tho fourth heading OF the category
OF abbreyiations and om issions to be made
by clerks in rendering transcripts, these
rules say; a.....a.a...m..- saa. rs1rs =

clause these rules 20 on TO say:
.Whenever In the Judgment OF this
Court any OF the writings herein ordered q

De cay ofthe Teeth

Arises from various causes, but principally
1t may be attributed to early neglect or
the indiscriminate use of tooth powders and
pastes, which give momentary Wilderness
to the teeth while they oorrods the enamel.
The timely use of that delicate aromatic
tooth-wash, Fragrant SoZoDoNT, will
speedily arrest the progress Of decay, harden
the guns, and impart delightful fragrance
to the breath. 1t removes those ravages
which people sustain In their teeth from the
use Of sweet and acid articles. 5S0.1m.

Choteau and Dawson, Jointly. - "a
The basis was 3,226 to each Council
mem Der and 1883 to each House member.
The first ouncil district fell GIT short of
being entitled to four Council members !;
the third fell 55l short Of being entitled to
four Council members, and the second had
LOGS more than the niece :sary population
for four Councilmen. The first, and
third districts were, therefore, each given
four CouncilmeB, and in lieu thereof Deer
Lodge county, to which the excess belong
cd, was given six members of the House,
OF which she lacked 920 population.
The grouping of counties for Council
Districts Ia not satisfactory to Republicans,
especially in the Third District, and Gov
ernor Potts refused to sign the apportion-
mont, which, however, Ia made valid by tho
signatures of the Speaker and President,
who did sign it. Lewis and Clarke is uR-
questionably Republican and had within
four Of population to entitle her to two
Councilmen. Choteau and Dawson lacked
90 OF being entitled to member and are as
unquestionably Democratic. Meagher
would fall 522 short, but the Republicans
OF Lewis and Clarke preferred making
these concessions to being handicapped and
beaten out Of their proper political repre-.
sentation in the Council. As it is now 1t
will not be surprising IL the Republicans
fail to elect single Council member, al
though Madison, Custer, Lewis and Clarke,
Meagher and perhaps Gallatin, with pop
ulation Of 19,349, are, on strict party
vote, Republican. II, unintentional, the
Democratic members of the Board STUN
bled very cleverly upon Council appor-
tionment by Judicial districts, that shuts
out Republican majorities representing
nearly one-balf the population Of the Ter
ritory and, il Intentionally partizan ap-
portionment, 1t could not have been better
planned. Geographically considered, the
representation is very fair, and in the
House We haye prospect to elect at least
nine, and perhaps eleven, members, al
though We believe the Board has exceeded
the law In making joint House districts.
Power was only specifically conferred to
make "joint Council districts"
The duty Of apportioning was an oner-
GUS and difficult one. We expected some
ono to complain and are not surprised 1t is
ourself, although We had not anticipated 1t
would be on political grounds. There was
Democrats majority OF ths Board and 1t
has been arranged that there shall be solid
Democratic Council to control the next ap-
portioument. Come to think Of 1t, what
else should we have expected? The only
thing left to do Ia to make Montana so
strongly Republican that no apportionmens
can effect lock out. There are three Re-
publican evangelists at work now and com.
ing rapidly and steadily that will do the
work. We only concede Dawson to the
Democrats In 1882.
