Democratic Delegate at Large.

A telegram reached this office yes
terday stating that the democratic dis
trict convention had nominated as
delegate at large Walter Cooper, Of
Bozeman. When the dispatch was
dated the republican committee had
made no appointment to fill the place
vacated by A. B. Curry's declination
to serve as the other delegate at large
from the district.
Mr.. Cooper's nomination will be re-
cognized as an eminently wise selec-
tion. He is gentleman widely
known throughout eastern Montana,
and as highly regarded as he is we'll
known. Added to these elements Of
popularity, he has all the intellectual
qualifications to enable him to render
excellent service in the constitutional
convention.

The Park Branch Railroad Liens.


The story of the circumstances
which led to the filing of numerous
liens OH the Northern Pacific railroads
by tie choppers along the Park branch
is thus detailed by correspondent OF
the Helena Herald:
''Mr. Lynde stated that his firm
took the original contract for the ties
used on the Rocky Mountain and Park
Branch divisions. They sublet the
contract to White Calfee, of Boze-
man, and he in turn sublet the Park
Branch part of the contract to Frost
& Vaudeville In consequence of
low water, scarcity of help and gen.
eral bad management, Frost & Mande-
Vile only succeeded in getting out
small portion of the ties needed in the
construction of the Park Branch.
They had about $4,000 worth piled
up along the track after the road was
completed. Through courtesy to
Lynde & Co. the Northern Pacific rail-
way accepted these, although they did
not then want them. AS soon as the
tie inspector. had taken them Frost &
Mandeville's bookkeeper commenced
his crooked scheme. which was that
of allowing the tie choppers
and other laborers orders OH
Calfee vastly in excess Of what
was actually due. Calfee, not sus-.
pecting the condition Of affairs. prompt
ly honored these drafts Of Frost 6
Vaudeville until Sept. 8, when he re-
ceived an order TO refuse further pay
ments, as the bookkeeper was guilty
of conspiracy, as above described.
Lynde i Co., who had advanced some
thing like $4,000 to Calfee, also shut
down on payments until the matter
was cleared up. The next move was
Frost & Mandeville's book-keeper
running away with their books, which
were afterward recovered at Livlngs-
ton, but when found they were so
hopelsssly mnddled with false and
true entries that they were unable to
tell now matters stood. Their employ
ees, finding affairs in this condition,
left, and with their labor claims cer-
titled to by the bookkeeper, demanded
payment Of Calfee and Lynde & Co.
Being met with refusal they filed the
liens (Which have caused such wide
spread comment) against the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company's property.
Whether or not the railroad company
is liable for these claims is
question that will be tested in the
courts. Much to the disgust Of Lynde
& Co., (who have $4,000 tied up in
advances made on the ties accepted by
the company the Northern Pacific
railroad refuses to pay any one until
the courts decide who the proper par
Ties are.

Laying the Corner Stone of the COngrega
tiona1 Church

Laying the Corner Stone of tho Congrega-
tiona1 Church
Yesterday afternoon large congre-
CATION assembled to witness the cere-
monies in connection with laying the
corner stone of the Congregational
church-the first of it's denomination
ard the second church building in
Livingston. The services were begun
by Rev. Mr.. Brown, who read a chap
ter from the Bible. A. B. Curry, as
representing the Board of Trade, fol-
lowed with one Of his ever-interesting
and well-timed addresses. He briefly
sketched the history of the worship of
God from It's earliest period down to
the building Of SOloman's temple,
and referred to its rapid de-
velopment in christian times.
Then followed prayer by Rev. Brown
and singing by the Congregational
choir. The corner stone was then laid
in it's place, covering beneath it box
containing the following articles of
local interest: The records of the
church; history Of the Congrega-
tional church in Livingston; a copy of
the DAILY ENTERPRISE; copy of the
NATIONAL PARK PIONEER a copy
OF the Tribune; various relics pre-
sented by members OF the Methodist
Episcopal, Catholic and Episcopal
churches; names Of officers Of the
Congregational church, Sabbath
school. Ladies Aid society, and Young
Folks society; names of officers of
the Board Of Tr;ple; names of the
editors Of Livingston newspapers; and
a list of the lawyers and physicians Of
the town.
Rev. Mr.. Hanna then addressed the
assembled spectators, referring partic-
ularly to the educational Influences OF
the Christian church. And Rev. Mr..
Comfort spoke of the rapid extension
Of Christianity and especially its
growth in the northwest.
So ended the ceremonies which,
though carried out briefly and without
great formality. are well worthy Of
remembrance and Will jim future years
be looked back upon with interested
recollection, not only by members of
the church but by all the people of
Livingston. at some time, perhaps
not many years distant. a larger and
costlier church will be considered
necessary to accommodate the Congre-
gationrlists of a larger, weather. and
more populous Livingston and another
corner stone will be laid. Then ut it
is our privilege) we shall have the
pleasure of looking through the files Of
the ENTERPRISE and republishing the
record Of that cloudless autumn day
III 1883 when was laid the corner stone
of the first Congregational church in
Livingston.
The building is to be of wood, upon
a stone foundation, 28x38 feet. It will
be hurried forward as rapidly as pos
sible to completion, and unless some
unlocked for obstacle arises the, pastor,
Rev. w. E. Archibald, hopes to occupy
the pulpit in the new church before
the beginning of the new year.

While we have nothing TO say against the
appointment OF Reuben A. Stuart as Post
master Of this town, we have something TO
remark concerning 1t. In the first place,
the Presidents claim Of being a Civil Ser
vice reformef is all humbug, and only an
excuse. Of couse, he cannot know the
merits Of each individual Of the thousands
OF applicants for office; but he gives to Ger
tain State political organizations the right
TO say who shall be appointed. These Of
ganizatlons back and support the President,
aud they recommend for appointment only
such that will do their bidding. Fitness is
secondary or even tertiary consideration,
while the Will of the people, locally, Is not
considered TO be Of much account. Presi-
dent Arthur allows the Republican State
Central Committee Of Delaware TO designate
the Federal appointments for this State.

tho Version Of the Trouble ~ Given ~
some AZ the Operatives.
A reporter Of the GAzETTE called upon q
number Of the operatives Of the Arlington
Mills and received from them the following
version A young woman, who runs
three I00ms, stated that previous to the re-
duction she was able to make on an average
81 week, but that since the arst reduction,
December Is, they had not been paid, so
that she was unable to state what eluld be
made. The second reduction was three cents
on a cut and at this rate she would not be
able to make her board. 81 was given lot
81 material last week which was weaving
into heavy convict cloth and was only get
ting So cents cut, and It takes me almost
two DAYS to make a cut, 50 you eah
eaeily count It up, at this rate / could not
make nv board, and had decided to stop
work whether they made the reduction or
not. I cant afford TO work for 55 cents a
day which would be the figures exactly II
this reduction was made"
Several other weavers, girls, were called
upon and made the same statement.
young man, who is also weaver, ssid:
"We are getting just about half what they
pay In Philadelphia In fact, l was only
making about SIS before the reduction, and
with the cut In rates / could not possibly
make more than $3.50 week"
In the spinning room where about rs girls
are employed the feeling is rather bitter
toward the. management OF the mills. Two
OF these young girls we're called upon aud
stated that they were getting $24 a month
before the first cut In prices
and that they were reduced tC
$22.50 a month and by this notice theil
salaries were to be reduced to $50 a month
for S-side spinners, and to SIG for 6-sid'
spinners. This they claimed was very un
just and they had accordingly struck.
The reduction ia the carding room wa
from 12l< cents hank to 10 cents. Th'
carders are contented to remain out.
Tha employees are as one in the Statement
that the reduction is entirely too great, aRC
at the rates offered they said ''we were only
working there TO pass away time and not Il
get anything for our work. They might a
well ask us TO work for nothing"
The mill hands were instructed to be a
the works this afternoon to receive thei
back pay, and the following notice wa
pasted up for their benefit:
g If they are satisfied we are.
(Signed) PRESIDENT BALDWIN"
This is the state of affairs about the mil
and it is only in justice to both parties tina
these statements are made.
The business men Of the Ninth ward hav
little to say, but do not anticipate an,
serious trouble.

The latest visws OF the Sussex County
Press Upon the Question.
CBussex Journal


The Latest We've OF the Sussex County
Press Upon the Question.
rsusscx Journai.l
The collapse of the Wilmington papers
upon the representation question has been
90 sudden and overwhelming thatwe would
take pity upon their evident modification
and say nothing further upon the subject
this week, were we not ourselves thoroughly
desirous Of a constitutional reform. These
papers have given most convicing proof OF
their utter want Of influence among their
own people. They cannot conceal their
chargin and their failure has indeed been
most pltiaule, for first they clustered, then
they begged, and finally they whined and
whimpered, but still, do whatever they
would, they could not succeed In getting
even two or three together to consider the
great question of representation according
to population and the wrongs they were
suffering from Kent and Sussex.
The truth Of the matter is that the upper
county has not yet suffered any injustice in
actual legislation from the hands of her
sisters, and her people are 80 well aware OF
II that they viii not permit the newspaper
men to unduly excite them upon the sub
ject.
delaware Democrat.l
The New Castle journals complain that
they will lose SO much time by by proceed
ing under the Constitution to propose an
amendment. Won't they lose still more
time If an unconstitutional law Ia passed and
afterwards declared null and void 1t is
certainly one Of those cases where they had
better "make haste slowly" If the people
have an opportunity Of deciding the ques-
tion, the apportionment will be more salts
factory in every way, and no increase ought
to be granted except by the consent Of the
people themselves, as expressed through the
| ballot-box.
Milford News.l
| New Castles county's chances of obtain
ing increased representation at this session
Of the Legislature are rather small Here
tofore she could very properly blame Kent
and Sussex; now she ought to kick herself
for being too greedy.
