Judge Advocate Gardner closed his argyll
ment for the prosecution in the Whitaker
court-martlal on the It'll inst. He laid par
ticular stress on the many discrepancies in
the Cad4ts testimony. Whitaker at first
stated he had no idea as to the height of his
a,saiIant aid subsequently affirmed that lie
stood about five feet three inches. Also that
at first he had no suspicious and then again
that he had but refused to state against whom
they were directed. Major Gardner said the
Cadets testimony was All invention which
the force of circumstances caused hiln tc
swear to. He considered there was no es.
cape from fine and Imprisonment for the ac,
cused. General Miles annC"nced the case
closed. When the court as'ees upon a de
cision it will be forwarded TO the authorities

chasers. We defy w. S. to name a single
mine in Butte that is begging for a purchaser
in this or an eastern market. The mine own
ers OF this district have %unbounded faith in
their properties aud the most of them are not
at all anxious to dispose of their lodes. 1t
was only a few days ago that an eastern capt.
talist came out here and offered $75C, 900 for
one of our mines. He went away without
owning it. We can forgive W. S for being a
fool, but can extend no pardon to him when
he resorts to falsehood to ipjnre a mining To-
cality that is not inclined to pay him for his
praise or his good opinion.

Experimental trips to test the feasibility Of
transporting wheat in barg"s direct from St.
Paul to New Orleans without change, are
now being made. Many have expressed a
belief that grain would heat and sprout be-
fore its arrival at the latter port, but those
who have engaged in The enterprise are con-
tidcnt OF landing it in good condition, provi-
ded tie grain he sound and dry when shipped
at st. Paul. Tie barGes that are being used
are built expressly for the carrying OF grain,
aud are perfectly water-tight so no dampness
ca nreach the grain. For the first trip the
rate has been fixed at the extremely low
price of twenty-eight cents from St. Paul to
Liverpool. Should this experiment prove
successful Montana farmers eau rest assured
that their home market will not be material

STOCK PROSPECTS.

The strong prices paid for cattle the past
two months, says the Chicago Times, have
affected thei" value to the further limits of
the western grazing country, and have re-
vived all interest in the growth and feeding
of cattle which will be felt for a long time.
Several large herds have changed hands III
Colorado, Montana and Wyoming lately at
handsome profit to the original owners. A
large amount of idle capital seeking a safe
and profitable investment will be put into
stock this year all over the west. Montana
stock raisers need entertain no fears concern
ING the present aud future profits arising out
of an Intelligent attention to the business in
which tley are engaged. Notwithstanding
the discouragirg effects Of last winters en-
p~erience upon stock owners, the advance in
the price of cattle will simulate item to eS-
ercise greater care IN the disposition of their
herds, and their late losses may i'll the end
grove IA benefit rather than the contrary. The
rather loose and careless manner OF taking
care of stock which has heretofore prevailed,
should give place to a rigid system of econ
omizing winter ranges. When this shall be
accomplished, the percentage OF loss OF stock
during severe winters will be materially re-
duced. While it is true that Montana pre-
SCENTS one Of the finest fields in the union for
the successful prosecution Of stock industries,
it is equally true that stock must be judicious-
ly handled to make that industry profitable.
When the lowland or foot-hill ranges are by
common consent preserved Tor the use Of
stock during the winter months, much will
have been lone towards guarding against
loss in seasons of deep SHOWS and i~isNring
profits where losses now occur.

Democrats who are crednlously inclined
may possibly derive some little consolation
from the following which we find in recent
dispatches The report is again revived Of
a contemplated alliance between the Demo-
cratic and Greenback members of the next
Congress to secure the organization Of the
House. Undoubtedly secret correspondence
and conferences have been held with a view
to reach sucn a combination. This fact has
been known for several months. There Is
no doubt either that some of the Greenback
members elect and prominent Democrats
such a coalition, and that they intend to
consummate it if possible. Strong efforts
are to be made to capture the districts vaca-
ted by Frye and Levi P. Morton, as the loss
of even one of these will leave the Repnbli,
cans with only TAG, or a minority of l.
There is TO possibility whatever OF them
succeeding ia Fryr's distiici, but they have
perhaps some chance of getting IL member

With your permission, l wish to retract
the statement made through the columns
OF your paper few days ago, concerning the
manner in which the scholars arc taught
in our public schools. In that statement
charged that scholars were not taught the
principles OF morality, but instead were
virtually trained for the penitentiary. This
desire to rctraCt in toto, us | well know
that our public school, in which | have
warm interest, Is second TO none in the
State; the teachers all, from the principal
to the primary department, being eminent
~ qualified, and earnestly engaged In dis
seminating sound morals, with u through
practical English education. The state-
ment was made whilst under the impulse
OF strong excitement at what had wit
messed.

understood in any manner whatever with
approving the manner adopted for raising

Iapprove OF tho distribution Of the jugs

A VIRGINIA paper, 10 which perhaps the
wish is father TO tho thought, says the
desitability Of reunion OF Virginia and
West Virginia Is felt by many In both
States, and II believes the question cannot
long be kept out Of the discussions during
political campaigns in Virginia.-M Y
Timts.
We do not know what Virginia paper
the Times quotes from. The item comes 10
US by way Of New York. 1t may be dcsira.
bic in the estimation Of the writer to see a
reunion between the two States, and per.
haps he speaks for large constituency In
Virginia. We incline to the opinion that
Virginia would very generally like to see
such reunion. Such, however, is not the
feeling Of West Virginia, II there Is any
one point upon which the people Of this
State are substantially Of one mind II Is as
tothe perpetual separate stateShip Of West
Virginia. For mahy years there has not
been single public man, or a journal Of
any creed or party, that has expressed any
inclination for a reunion. Even the Dor.
der line feeling In favor Of II, that was
manifested In uteonbrier county lust after
the close Of the war, seems to
have died out, At least we hear moth.
ing more Of II. The sense Of
a long course Of injustice towards the peo.
pie Of West Virginia on the part Of the old
State, when we were part Of 1t, Is still
alive In this State among the older people,
outside Of any question Of politics, and the
younger generation have no traditions that

are not West virginian in their character.
We are all looking forward hopefully 70 the
day when West Virginia win be developed
BY railroads and 30 made one Of the most
prosperous States Of the Union. The more
the public know Of the resources Of West
Virginia the more they realize that she has
the elements Of great future as State.
We do not want, therefore, to be hampered
by any adverse policy, such as that which
kept US back under the old regime, when
the public money represented in the debt
Of Virginia was spent almost exclusively
for the development Of the territory outside
Of our borders,
No, the people Of Virginia may as well
dismiss from their minds, If they are cor
rectly represented by the paragraph quoted
above, all ideas Of the reunion Of the two
