Reception Of Lansdowne.

QUEBEC, Oct. 23.-The hall in
which the ceremony took place was
richly decorated. The crests and
notices Of the I4orne and Lans-
downe families were upon the wall
listers, the lieutenant governor Of
Quebec and party and other digna-
taries of the Dominion were all in
their robes of office. There were not
many Ladies' present, owing to the
limited capacity of the hall. The
Marquis of Lurne took his place up
on the dais and Lord and Lady
Lansdowne entered, all presc;st rising
and remained standing till the close
of the ceremony. AS Lansiowne
subscribed to the oath OF allegiance,
tue Marquis ofLrrne vacated and the
new governor general assembled the
throne. He then handed the great
seal of the Dominion to the clerk and
the bible to the chief justice and the
formal ceremony VAS ended. Lans-
downe received the Princess Louise
and later gave a public reception in
the music hall. Larsdowne here, at
t-r delivering his address in English,
repeated it in French and was en-
Enthusiastically cheered again and
again. The Vice Regai ,arty then
drove to the railroad station and as
the train moved away the Marquis
OF Lorne proposed three cheers for
the new Governor General. They
were given with a will, Lorne him
self loudly cheering, The party
arrived at Ottawa this evening.

The question as to the rights OF

don courts for adjudication. 1t is an
interesting legal problem liz which
Others besides the quiet loving people
of London are interested. The de-
PENDANTS in the case are an aristocrat-
ic Countess and her eighteen cats.
The complainants are her neighbors.
The Countess stoutly maintains that
her dozen and a half felines have
certain inalienable rights which no
II can abridge aud which the law
cannot take away. The complain
ants hold the opposite view in which
they have the concurrence of the ma
jority of the suffering people Of the
cat infested districts of Amer
lea. IT the Cat nature in
London is anything like it is in
Butte there is entirely too much cat
to the square foot in the neighbour
hood of the English countess. Two
to the block are considered amply
sufficient for all domestic purposes,
including night serenades, in this
section of the Rocky Mountains.
Eighteen to every house on both sides
of the street would in three nights
fill the rooms at the Warm Springs
asylum with victims of their discord-
ant music. The result of the trial
will be awaited with interest not only
in England, but on this side of the
Atlantic. In the administration of

Lord Coleridge will proba-
bly, settle the question when he re-
turns. 1t is to be hoped he will not
hold that the right of every old maid
to own eighteen cats is part of the
common law governing the two

THE FUSION MATTER.

Our evening contemporary seems
to feel hurt because the conference
committee Of Democrats did not
choose to accede to the proposition
of the Republican committee and
give them half of the Delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. We are
not aware that the Democratic COM
mitteemen have any apologies to
offer for their action in the matter.
They believe that the Republicans
asked for more than they were justly
entitled to and refused their request.
That ended the matter. The Central
Committee is the authorized agent of
the Democracy of Silver Bow county,
and while individuals may differ
with it in certain matters the voice
of the Committee must be regarded
as the voice Of the party. This rule
is as unalterable as the law of the
Modes and Persians.
AS regards the assertions of our CO.
temporary that the vote last fall for
certain candidates upon the Republi-
can ticket indicated a Republican
majority in this county, we would
reply that there are no grounds for
such q construction. Marshal Botkin
received his majority in this county
through Democratic votes. This is
.ell-known. And it is as well-known
hat the two or three county Repub-
lean officials received their slight
from the same source. But |
four Republican friends still point |

WHAT A

The United States is a country OF
magnificent possibilities. Under a
Republican Administration we col
lected last year nearly $404, 0OO, 900 of
revenue. We expended under a Re
publican administration $257, 600, 900.
We appropriated through a Repub-
lican Congress and a Republic IN
President, for the year ended June
80, 1883, 1926. 600, 900. What a prince
ly Government! What a munificent
administration! The people paid all
this money in little sums on their
their tea, their coffee, their sugar, the
dresses for their wives, the
clothing for their children, for their
boots, shoes, and other necessaries.
1t was earned in the sweat of their
brows. 1t was exacted of them in
the shape of onerous taxation. They
paid it Tor the support of the "best

It is said the celored Republicans
demand the nomination of a colored
man for Vice-President next year as
a condition precedent to their sup
port of the ticket. They make it as
al ultimatum, and if they remain
firm it is difficult to see how Repub-
llcan leaoers can consistently refuse
the demand. If they refuse they will
not only lose the entire colored voto,
but of every conscientious and consis-
tent friend of the negro race in the Re-
publican party. If they accede to the
demand and nominate a black man
on the ticket thoy will disgust that
element of the party that never had
any use for the negro, except as a
voting machine, and will, of course,
be badly beaten. Whichever horn
of the dilemma they seize upon they
are bound to he gored to death.
