Several Of our Territorial exchange
usgs the passage II . RegistSy Law

It seems the Sudden demand for It

could not have voted II they bad
bssa compelled 70 register. A. this
floating population win probably cut

A MALICIOUS OHAnon.

II assertion countsd for fact Il
would appear that Major Naginnis
= . badly beaten man. It b itera-
ted ard reiterated bytwo or three Of
TIE Republican Journals Of the Ter
ntoey, that the large nlajosities for
that gentleman In Nissoula, Dawson
and Custer counties were obtained BY
ballet-box stu6lag and illegal 70
ting. This = . grave charge and II
true the ol1sading judges Of election
ID those counties deserve to Be -
vesely dealt with, and II not true the
newspapess that make Il, should b
kicked out Of the house Of every
hir.ninded man who b 20 unfostun-
ate - to b it, Subscriber. The
charge implies that the judges Of
eloctjoa In the counties named made
false returns to their County Board
q Commissioaess, and arc therefore
pe1sEed raseak. II, - the Inter
Aessstnis says: "They detessni lined
to DO ballot-l'ox stunning enongh to
mest all contingencies" they are
proper subjects for the Courts
to handle, aud should be COM
PEELED to visit Deer Lodge In the
custody Of ~ officer, and to take up
their abode In the penitentiary.
1.-THE charge Of ballot-box stufjlng
weFe true, protests against counting
sach votes would have been entered
before The canvassing boards Of th
counties referred 10. And II they
wese not entered the Republicans,
who must have been cognixant Of
The crime, criminally failed In doing
their duty. But we take no stock
In such reckless, unjustifiable
charges, neither b our confidence In.
creased in the veracity or honesty II
those who make them. A journal
that has any regard for its reputa-
ton for fair dealing would not utter
- gruss libel upon . large body Of
respectable citisens unless there were
reasonable grounds upon which to
predicate it, assertions. In this case
no grounds are discovesable. There
have been no charges Of bailot-box
stu1lng brought up to the County
Canvassing boards from any precinct
In the Territory, and W are prepared
to pronounce the charges a. mali
eious, unjustillablc and fake.

oVIRcP0Ox 0TlON.

One Of the most potent arguments
that . high protecHvetariff does not
protect b found II the closing Of the
mills that have bsen large pgodoeers
a Bessemer steel, upen which the
enormous duty of - per ton b Inn
posed. It would seem that IN in
dsstry protected to sueh extent would
flourish under the most adverse cir
eunstances and defy bankruptcy,
but expesience proves the revesse o(
this psoposition to be true. The ex-
oessive duty upon this cla%s of goods
has, It appears, forced the industry
to an unnatural and unhealthy
growth, induced extravagant over
production and precipltated llnan-
cial crash upon those immediately
concerned in It's manufacture. On
TIE other hand the industries which
are only moderately projected or not
protected ut all are, ~ . general
thing, In . sound and healthy con-
ditlou. There y lesson In this
fact which It will be we'll for the
present Congress to learn. II Il does
not profit BY 1t and relieve osher in
dustsi&s from the bane Of over.pro-
lection, their collapse and the imam
cial panic which viii follow. will
carry the Republican party to ire
trievable disaster.
