"Come off the roof" is the new slang
phrase used toward boastful opponent,
and is very suggestive. ''Come off the
roof" when you think you are
are a little better than anybody
else. You are but poor miser-
able worm of the dust at best. Come
off the roof" when you boast that you
done some good deed. 1t is no more
than you should have done. Come of
the roof" when you are pulled up with
vanity. You are up SO high that you
make a mark for intelligent people to
ridiculc you. 1t is well to have a good
opinion of yourself, when you can
respect yourself When you are willing
all your actions should be laid bare; but
alas, how many of us could endure that
Do not say or feel, "Stand aside, l am
am holier than thou" but "come off the
roof"

From letter received at this office
from S. B. Wyman it appears that there
were no Democratic tickets at Cooke
City during the election. This seems
verv strange, as Walter Cooper chairman
of the Democratic central committee took
extra pains and sent tickets by mail, ex-
press and private hands. The tickets
were sent early enough to have reached
there; but from some cause were not
either received or were spirited away.
the latter We can scarcely believe. 1t is
to be regretted, as no doubt many Dem
ocrats feeling aggreived, either abstained
from voting or voted the Republican
ticket. om-unofficial sources we learn
that the Republican ticket, out of about
23O votes polled received nearly an aver
age of 200 votes. This will undoubtedly
elect Pease and Eaton and possibly Fer
ris, in fact we are inclined to think the
later elected. Willow Creek, HillsdaIc,
West Galtatin are yet to hear from,
which have given good Democratic ma
jorities, but the vote will be light from
those precincts and not sufficient we
think to overcome the maiorities of the
three named. Flathead and Puett pre-
cincts are no doubt very small and an
uncertain quantity in the calculation.
Yellowstone No. 2, and Park from un-
official resources give Pease and Eaton
good majorities, with the balance uncer-
tain. Cooke City has been great sur
prise on account Of the heavy vote polled
~ but few thought that more than 100
votes could be brought out. Twelve pre-
cincts out of about seventeen have
already returned IL official vote to the
county clerk, and it may take the official
count to determine whether Mr.. Ferris
is elected.

1t is usual, when no other topic pre-
rents itself for consideration to descant
upon the weather, that it is nice, that it
is exerable, etc, but Montanians have
reason to rejoice that while cold waves
and storms are sweeping over various
portions of the country, we are baskins
in the most delicious sunshine. The
region so long thought to be so inhospit-
able as to discourage the presence of
man, proves to be kind and indulgent.
Pure, invigorating atmosphere and cloud
less skies greet the citizens of Montana,
when in all other places of similar lati-
tude are to be found wind and storms.
The theory Of the isothermal line is not
all myth, else we should experience
the cold weather necessarily incident to
a northern latitude. While we do not re-
joice over the misfortunes of less favored
localities, we do have cause for congratu-
lation that our lines are cast in such
pleasant places.

We call attention of the different
county clerks of the counties in this
Judicial district to the law governing the
canvassing of votes on the district officers.
Section $40 Revised Statutes, page SOL,
Laws Of Montana, 1879, provides that,
when two or more counties are united
in council or representative district or
for the election of any other officer the
canvassing boards of the counties inter-
ested shall canvass the vote of said joint
officer the same as for other councy off,
GERS. 1t shall be the duty of the county
clerk of the board of county commission
ers of the county or counties last estab-
Used to make certified abstracts of the
canvass and Immediately forward a copy
of said abstract or abstracts by mail as a
registered package to the clerk of
the senior county and the clerk and
probate judge, or any county officer, in
GLIDING the clerk, shall at once canvass
said votes and the clerk of the senior
county shall at once issue certificates of
election to the person or persons having
the highest number of votes entitled
thereto, and for the purpose Of this ar
ticle the county first created shall be
deemed the senior county and when all
the counties were created by the same
oct the first named therein shall be
deemed the senior county" By this it
will be seen that the clerks of Dawson,
Custer, Yellowstone and Gallatin counties
must send the abstracts of votes COST for
district delegate to the Constitutional
Convention to the clerk of Madison
county for canvass, that being the senior
county. We publish this for fear some
q them may overlook the law.

THE GLE STORY.

My folks went East to remain, but
they are coming back as soon RS they
can" The old story rehearsed time and
again, ever since Montana was settled.
The halo which fingered around our old
home still clings to us. We look for
ward to the time when we shall revisit
the old scenes, and grasp the hand of old
acquaintance. We imagine how de-
lighted they will be to see us. The
rivers and mountains there are longer and
grander than anywhere else. The old
mansion which sheltered us in 20 hful
days has charm for us which we will
never forget. We can never get such
meals as we used to get there. No one
can prepare the food as our mother did.
All these things are continual, crowd
ing on our memory. We become sick
and tired Of our mountain home and can
never be happy until we visit the old
scenes again. We go and we find our
old acquaintances gone to distant places
and those We meet are not half SO cor
dial as we expected them to be. They
are not half as delighted to see us as we
imagined they would be. Our tales Of
Western life are either listened to with
incredulity or with cold laugh are
characterized asabsolute falsehocds. The
young girls we knew, and who have al
ways remained girls to lis, have grown
up to be staid matrons. The places that
knew lis know us no more forever, and
our heart begins to grow cold. The
rivers and mountains pale into insignifi-
canoe besides our laughing streams and
lofty mountains. The 3ir is sitting conf
pared to our inyigorating mountain
air. A few days and we long
to get back where people are
genuine and hearty. Where the re-
straints and concentrations of society do
not exist, and we were not happy until
we get back. This has been the eX-
perience of all who have tired it, and
will be the experience of many more.
Montana is a delightful country. We
have more to be thankful for than we
realize. We do not half appreciate what
we have. You must 60 away once before
you will realize it. Montanians have
gone away and stayed away, but when
ever you meet one, he has kind word
for and a warm remembrance of his
life while here, but sooner or later they
drift back. Let Us who are here be con-
tent

CONE WEST.

IF were young man l would 60 to
Montana" This remark has been at
tributed to Henry Ward Beecher, but we
have heard the same sentiment score
of times, from those whom the frosts of
many winters had touched. The wisdom
which the sunset of life had given them,
saw the glorious possibilities in this new
empire for young men Of pluck and en-
ergy. Saw how fast the grand resources
of this boundless west would develop
and saw the seeds of future wealthy and
populous states. Saw how energy could
expand and industry meet with sure re-
ward. 1t was no prophecy, no far-seeing
wisdom, but the calm, sober reflection
brought about by observing and noting
down what they saw. They saw history
repeating itself, but more rapidly than in
the settlement and up-building of the old
west. Yes. young men, if you want a
field for your energy to expand, field
where you can reap sure reward, no
matter in what ayocation, come to
Montana. Failure will not be written
on single honest and earnest endeavor.
Industry. energy and economy are sure
winners, but idleness, listlessness and
extravaganza are just as fatal here as
elsewhere. Fortunes are not picked up
on the streets, and you must not come
expecting to live upon your wits alone,
but come determined as we said to carve
out your fortune by honest endeavor and
We will guarantee success. There is not
another such country as this bonndless
west for grand possibilities. Wiser men
than we have given you this advice. We
but reiterate what they say. We invite
you to come, because we believe it will
do you good. ...
