Let Us Have Ladders.

The terrible fires that have occurred at
Milton, Pa, and other places, is a warn
ing which it will be well tur our town
authorities and citizens to heed. have
often been surprised that no provision
has ever been made to meet a want that
has been felt at every fire we have had
heretofore i'll our town. to-wit: Ladders.
Much precious time has been lost in look
ing for ladder by which to reach the
tire,-which if it could have been done
at once might have easily been extin-
guished The town authorities should
have a half dozen OF more ladders of
various lengths, with sharp hooks on one
end, made DIS light as possible. and kept
where any one will be able to find them.
These, together with supply of good
buckets, will do wonders in the houin-
nlng OF fire. PHEuAUTIoN.

characters which were built OH real, solid

We're God-tearing men, they We're men of
sterling integrity and honnr. They never

They We're never conscious of the in
ilucnce which their correct and humble
devotion TO the daily routine of duty had
given them, because they were forgetful
of self i'll their endeavor to perform their
duty. We may speak of their lives as
"a patient continuance ill well doing"
And there is ,nSt the point | would make
a.ie-=tlsat if we would have those
enduring qualities of character which
will stand the test of time and eternity.
We must have that tirnness of purpose,

Welde VS.. Scarborough.

This suit was brought to recover damages
for I'M uries sustained by Welhe in fight
that aGrnrred between him and Scarborough
in April, 1875. Suit was first brought in
this county at the June term, 1879, and the
case was subsequently removed to Hartford
county, where it came up for trial on Thurs
day, the 18th instant, and resulted in a YER
diet of $4,000 for the plaintiff. A motion
for a new trial has been filed in this case on
the ground that some OF the witnesses for
the prosecution had conversed about the
case with some members of the jury
On Tuesday the case of the State rs. Hugh
i: Scarborough, indicted for assault and
battery with intent to kill Samuel l.. Felde,
was taken up and it being discovered that
AMY twenty-five men. bers had been inpan-
neled on the grand jury, which found the
indictment, Mr.. Scarborough's counsel put
in plea of abatement, to which the State
Attorney demurred. The court, Judges
Walters and Grason on the bench, were
divided in opinion upon the demurrer, the
legal effect of which was to gqash the in

sumed 20 minutes in covering the same dis.

THOSE who are disposed to find fault with
Hancock for his long delay in issuing his let
ter of acceptance have little idea of the diff
Guilty of the task. The hunter who aimed at
an animal in the twilight so as to hit it if a
deer and miss it if calf, had an easy task
comparatively. Pennsylvania wants tariff
and New York free trade, and Hancock wants
the vote of both. The delegation of work
ingmen who lately called to learn his views
on matters that interest them, could extort
nothing but letter of introduction to Bar
mum. If it is expected that any mortal man
can frame for him more Janus-faced letter
of acceptance than the Democratic platform,
the thought is preposterous. The fewer
words Mr. Hancock uses in either speech or
writing the better will be his chance for votes.
Unless some one is found who can increase
the ambiguity of the platform it had best be
left as it stands.

Mr. Koch's Reply 50 Supervisor Me.
| Quaid.

BozEMAN, M. T., July "a, 1880.
EDITOR HERALD In reply to my ques-
ton in your paper of the 22d inst, the lnde-
pendent has an article in yesterdays issue,
beating about the bush without even an at
tempt to answer my question, and charging
me with making false statement. In reply
l would say:
1. make no charge against either of the
enumerators for Galatin county. l believe
that both Mr.. Gardner and Mr.. Blakely per-
formed their duties well and faithfully.
2. charge, that if any enumerator was
appointed in whose district were embraced
the settlers on the right bank of the Yellow
stone river above the lower canyon, viz
Emigrant, Bear, and Crevice gulches and
adjoining farming settlements, such enumer-
ator failed to perform his duty and failed to
visit those localities.
8. If no enumerator was appointed for that
district, l charge the Supervisor with neg
lect, causing at least 24O people to be omitted
from the census of the Territory, unless the
census law is so worded that an Indian res
ervation cannot be included in the district OF
any enumerator.
4. charge that telegraphic dispatch was
sent to Mr. McQuaid on June 23d by MIR
Blakely, asking whether Emigrant and Bear
were embraced in any district that an an
swer was made on the Goth, asking whether
those places were in Gallatin county, in which
case they would belong to Mr.. Blakely's dis
trict, and suggesting that he had better take
them anyway. Mr.. Blakely's district was al
within Gallatin county, which is bounded or
the east by the Yellowstone and embraces nc
part of the Crow reserve, and. even if Mr.
McQuaid had regularly enlarged his district
it was then, of course, too late with only foul
days remaining of the month.
On or about the Goth Mr. r. Lockey wrote
in my presence and at my suggestion dis
patch to Mr.. McQuaid, setting forth the facts
and our apprehensions that the census OF
those localities would not be taken. BIZ
started with it for the telegraph office. He
has told me repeatedly since that he had re-
ceived no reply. The dispatch may have
been mscarried, or it may have been over
looked by the Supervisor.
If it is yet possible to recti:y the omission
no ''data for investigation" are needed. The
tract of country referred to has simply beer
ignored, and none of its inhabitants will fig.
ure in the census for 1880.
Yours truly, PETER KOCH.

Washington Star: There is unmistakable
evidence on every side that there has been a
reaction politically, and that the nominations
of Garfield and Arthur are growing stronger
with each passing day. This, too, not be-
cause there is disposition to belittle the can
didacy of General Hancock, or to be per-
suaded into the belief that his nomination is
a weak one, but rather because the disap-
pointment over the result of the Chicago con-
vention is fast subsiding, and the party lead
ers as well as the rank and file are beginning
to brace up, so to speak.

DR. FELTON,, the Independent Democratic
member of Congress from the Seventh Geor-
gia district. in speech at Marietta, in that
State, last week, referred to General Garfield
as follows:
81 know General Garfield personally have
been on the same committee with him; and
he is gentleman of good morals. social,
clever, and has grand intellect; intellectu-
ally he has no superior in the House. He is
a good man, has mind of inexhaustible re-
sources, and have not word to say to de.
tract from his integrity"

Black, the Hon. Allen G.. Thurman, the Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens Democrats all
testify to the same effect
Helena weekly herald., 1880-07-29

J. A. ROBINSON, the business adviser of
General Garfield, says that the entire property
of the General consists of house in Wash
ington and his farm at Mentor, with its im-
provements and stock. The Washington
house cost him $11 200. For the farm Lawn
feld) he paid $4,000, and he has expended
about 81, 500 in improvements and $4,000 in
stock. This brings the total value of his
property up to $1,000 From this must be
deducted debts amounting to $4,000, leaving
his actual possessions about $24,0
