LARGE YIELD OF WHEAT.-A short time
ago Gen. John Gibbon, Of st. paul, Mimi, made
the assertion that 100 bushels of wheat had
been raised on an acre of ground in the Terri

received with incredulity he wrote to the Presi
dent of the First National Bank in Helena for
proof. In reply ho received the certificate of
the President and Secretary Of the Territorial
Fair Association that one james l.. Ray, Of Lewis
and Clark County, was awarded first premium
for the best acre Of wheat, being 102 bushels 10
the acre. This is believed to be the largest

It appears to us in this case that the
'rules" of the company stand as the plain
tiff and the suspended parties as the de-
PENDANT, with the management as judge.
Authority must rest somewhere, and the
ones at the top gen eroly exercise it. Some
times they do northumberland Nesos
Our contemporary is shrewd and
quite as ssntentious. 1t is singular,
however, that the rules" should be
yanksd in as party to this dispute
and not as the subject of dis
pute. The difference between two
individuals, for instance, which occa-
sionG suit cannot be regarded as a
party to the case, but is itself the
issue to be determined. Hence, to
us, ut appears in this case, that the
"rules" of the company" cannot "stand
as the plaintiff" If we are wrong,
the News will pardon Us for stating
with equal propriety that 1.-THE sus-
pended parties" are competent also
a. Judges, for "the plaintiff" has no
rights before court which the defend
ants do not also enjoy. Authority
must rest somewhere, and "ss" the
ones at the top generally exercise it,"
and those at the bottom sometimes"
there is possibility existing that
there is some right and wrong on both
sides, for the determination of which
there is no absolute authority" in the
plaintiff, defendant, or management.
The last is really the plaintiff, now
acting as Judge" the defendants
are alss playing the judicial role.
Both should dismiss the case as one
involving conflicting jurisdiction and
a compromise Of mutual dignity.
Sooner or later one or the other must
back down. In the interests of the
trade the one who does this will de-
serve and receive most credit. The
damage done BY the collision should
have stopped with the collision. The
question of "who is to run this road"
is. never was, and never can be a
question at all. Everybody knows
the company does it, and if it should
restore the two alleged offenders to
employment, it would by that act
demonstrate its supremacy.
Since the above was put in type
the company has rsinstated the allsg-
ed offenders. The right thing has
been done, and the management de-
serves praise for the good sense shown
in its last decision. Possibly We owe
the stoppage in the beginning to some
erroneous conceptions and undue OBJ
stinacy on both sides, but "all's well
the ends well" both sometimes" and
generally"

TIE PREAoHERs CONTENTION

The Preachers Convention of Cum
berland District met in the Methodist
Episcopal Church of this place, and
after most pleasant session of four
days adjourned on Thursday at IL
a. m.
Fifteen pastors were present.
The papers and addresses on different
topics pertaining to ministerial duty
and church government were not on
ly good and excellent but evinced an
intelligent, earnest and consecrated
spirit for the work.
The temperance meeting held We'd
nesday evening will ever be memo
rable.
The preachers had no time for sight
seeing, nor much for social enjoyment,
as the meetings commenced before
sunrise and were closed only for
meals and at meal lime, to be recon.
menced, and then they continued ev-
cry day until 9 p. m. Four sessions
were held every day. The preachers
were happy in their. meetings and at
their homes, and will be glad to come
again to partake of the hospitality of
Frostburg. We are grateful to the
preachers and to their hosts and to
the congregations for their presence.

an immense convenience.
A similar road has been located
from Frostburg to Pompey Smash and

IT ID understood in some quarters
that the law providing for the arrest
and trial of intoxicated persons has
been construed to apply only to those
drunken persons spAo are 1'sordsrly.
Whoever so interprets the law does not
understand the English language, or
suppoaes nobody else does. The stat
ute isvery explicit and applies both to
those found drunk" or "disordsrly."
If o man be "found drunk" he must
be arrested if he be found disorder
ly," he must be arrested, drunk or
sober. Men are not necessarily drunk
because disorderly, or ,diIorderly
because drunk. The two offences are
not inseparable by any means.
The Legislature has moreover con-
frmed and emphasized this visw by
enacting another distinct statute pro-
viding for the arrest and trial of those
who offend decency by obscene or
profans language, within popular
hearing. Like drunkenness, this
shall be" esteemed misdemeanor
and 90 treated.
Hence there can be no mistake
about tho meaning and force Of the
law touching these subjects, and no
pretext whatever for official Sinking,
either by the executors or admins
traitors of law.
The recent numerous and shame
less exhibitions of drunkenness up
on our streets, and the equally culpa-
bic neglect of their duties by the au-
thorities, oompsls US, in the interests
Of law, order, society and the good
name of the town, to call attention to
the matter.
That people get drunk and make
fools of themselves seems an affection
which our republican institutions per-
NIT, but that they should do 80 to the
annoyance and peril Of the large ma
jority who do not. is an idea not to
DO tolerated for a moment. And
when we have laws affording the pro-
lection implied they should be exc

prohibited are removed. To do 9TH
