Lawyers in Eaton are frequently paid
money out of the County Treasury for
their Efforts to clear scoundrels for steal
ing horses, burglary, and other crimes,
when there 10 not a particle of evidence
of their innocence. Isn't it about time
that taxpayers demand E change of such
a law Of injustice. Vagabonds don't hes
itate to commit crimes, because they
are aware that "Shysters" are always
waiting around eager to take their case
aud use every strategy and effort to prove
them innocent, and frequently succeed,
and the taxpayers foot the bill! When
the taxpayers refuse to pay talent for its
effort to turn red-handed villains loose
on community, deeds of crime will be
fewer. Repeal that law.

Home for the Children.

: ED. DEMoCRAT-The law of last winter
makes it unlawful to keep children in
the lntirmary after January 1st. ISL
AS a result, the children have to be taken
from the Infirmary and provided for in
some way, but how or where is hard to
determine. An older law provides for
the building OF a Childrens' Home, aud
we believe that the time has come when
the necessity OF it demands that it shall
be done. With this end in view, the
Board of Infirmary Directors have filed
an official request with the Board of
County Commissioners, to submit the
building of a Childrens' Home to the
electors of the county at the spring cleo
ton. Provisions should be made, not
only for the children that are in the In
Urinary, but also for many other children
in the county that are fit subjects for a
Childrens' Home, that have not been
thrown upon the county because the In
Urinary is not a fit place for children
The fact is, that children raised in al In
Urinary are apt to continue panpers all of
their lives. J.. N. LAKE.

THE interest felt in that still unex-
plored part of the United States, Alaska,
still keeps up unabated. Exploring par
ties, sent out by the government and
private parties for the purpose of pros
pecting for gold, have been busy the last
year in that cold territory. The Yukon
river seem to beatthe "father of waters''
all hollow, both in size and length, rank
ing among the largest rivers in the
world. The reports from the gold hun
tiers seem to be contradictory. The
Scuf1in party, from which SO much was
hoped in the way Of discoveries, return
ed with the report Of nothing struck
that would pay working at the present,
when transportation into the interior is
almost impossible, exoeptat a terrible fig
ure. From all accounts there are large
quantities of low grade gold rock on the
coast which can be profitably worked,
as it can be reached by steamers, easily.
The fisheries and furs Of Alaska bid fair
to repay us well for the original 81, 0OO,-
900 outlay, and if profitable mining be
added to the other we will
make a big thing out of the purchase.

THE New York SIN still keeps up its
presidential boom for VIM. S. Holman,
of Indiana. The economical turn Of
mind which the gentleman has display
ed in bis twenty years in congress cam,
we think, be put to better use in a sub
ordinate position than as head OF the
nation. Hayes, with all his parsimony,
did not give us a more economical adj
ministration than the present one, and
we question very much if Mr.. Holman
could make any improvement in this
respect. But the sincerity of the Suns
advocacy of the man whom it calls ''the
watch dog of the treasury is doubted,
and there are those who declare it only
a scheme of the willy Tilden, through
his organ, the Sun. to kill off Mcdonald
with another Indianian, and SO remove
a strong opponent in the way of his own
man, Cleveland.

THE last political campaign in Iowa
which terminated in the election last
Tuesday, has been themost vigorous and
hotly contested one that the prairie
state has ever experienced. B. r. Sher-
man, the republican candidate, and
Judge Kline, the democratic one, have
held joint discussions in all the princi-
pal cities Of the state, and in conse-
quence great enthusiasm has been dis
played by both parties. The question
this fall is not a political one, strictly
speaking, but question Of prohibition
or license, the republican party favoring
prohibition. The prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution was ear
ried by a good majority two years ago,
but being declared illegal by thesupreme
court on account of some discrepancies
in the engrossing Of the law the battle
had to be fought over again. The re-
publicans seem to have the best of it in
the state and will elect their men, but
by nc go, 900 majority as IN previous cleo
tons. The German element, which is
d strong one in Iowa, has always been
a staunch friend Of the republicans.
This taking away of their national bev-
erage, beer, has weakened their affec-
tons for the party and the chances are
that many Of them will vote the demo-
cratic ticket for the first time this fall.

The action of the government in ship
ping 10000 pounds of vegetables, mostly
potatoes, from Ogden, Utah, at a cost
including transportation, of five cents a
pound, will convince our ranchmen
that there is something s'rotten in Den
mark" Every one knows there is a
plentiful crop of all kinds of vegetables
in Montana this year which the ranchers
are only too willing and anxious to sell
at half the cost of the Mormon produce.
Somebody must be standing in with the
railroad company who bring this stuff.
This purchase is about on a par with
the bringing Of telegraph poles for the
government lines clear from Minnesota
and paying tremendous freight on the
same, when in many places better poles
had to be chopped down OF the line to
make way for the imported mes from
Minnesota. The army officials have
always had a very unsavory reputation
for putting up jobs of this kind on Uncle
Sam out here in Montana. When such
jobs are q direct injury to u territory,
by buying thousands Of miles away
what we have here for sale, there is Ii
able to be some tall kicking by the aver
age Montanian.

THE grumblers who have made so
much fuss lately about the incompetency
and extravaganza of President Wizards
management of Northern Pacific affairs,
seem not to have had a majority Of
stock. At the general election of Off
GERS of the railroad held at New York,
October 9th, the same officers were re-
elected by the board of directors. The
present officials have proven themselves
energetic and wide-aWake railroad men
in the speedy completion of the road.
Under ex-President Billings manage
ment the road would not have been
completed in time to do the present gen
Grafton any good.

OUR Geographic columns for the last
week have been flooded with the Shar-
on-Hill scandal. Senator Sharon, of
Nevada, is now getting more notoriety
than N hundred years of senatorial ca
reer would give him, as the only repu-
tation he had there is like that Of SEN
ator Tabor of Colorado; he has a pocket
full of rocks. They will have the salts
faction of thinking they made a sensa-
ton bymarrying notorious women, even
if they could not make one with their
brains. These men who make a fortune
in a few years out of mining specula-
tons and then use it to buy up a state
legislature, as they have done, deserve q
speedy burial and no resurrection allow
ed. Miss Hill claims she is the lawful
wife ofSharon, but he was afraid it would
injure his chances for reelection if
the marriage was made public. She
seems to be afraid the senator will give
her the slip, hence the suit she has
commenced. The bonanza kings who
have lived in San Francisco, though
their fortunes were made in Virginia
City, have always controlled Nevada
politics by the lavish use of money, both
in the general election and the legisla-
ture.

SECRETARY of the Treasury Folger,
is in favor Of a new United States bond,
to draw only two per cent. That looks
like a pretty small rate Of interest in a
new country like this where from one to
two per cent. a month is charged for
loans with good security. The great
success Of the three per cent. bonds and
the ayidity with which they were
bought up would seem to indicate that a
two per cent. bond would be a success
and could be sold at par. These bonds
would run for quite a period. Itispro-
posed to buy up the three and four per
cent. bonds even if large premium has
to be paid for the same, and issue the
new bonds in their place. What q diff

Of the nation to-day and quarter OF a

lican party can claim the honor of rails
ing the national credit from a twelve per
cent. basis to a two per cent. one. It is
hard to see why the intelligent people
Of this country should want to go back to
"a twelve per cent. basis as a standard of
national credit. 1t has been charged
that the capital of the country is repre-
sented bythe republican party. Men of

of the country from such q low to such

THE burning of the Pittsburg exposi-
ton building and exhibit has entailed a
loss $1,000, 900 on the society and exhib-

relic department will be the worst, as
they cannot be replaced. Luckily the

broken out with this large mass of hui

would have been frightful.

Europe and only has one dollars
worth to sell to pay for it, we may ex-
pect to hear OF a crash. The imports for
the year ending August 31st, were $780,
s04,564. The exports for the same per-
iod were $3.50, o,919, showing a bal
ance to our credit of about S114, 900, 900.
This is a creditable showing for the
United States.
