Periodical Depression.

The associated press dispatches and
our eastern exchanges all bear testimony
to a very unsatisfactory condition OF
business throughout the eastern states.
The ever increasing list of failures and
the constant making of bank and rail-
road stocks shows most conclusively that
the bottom has not yet been reached,
and while this work of clearing aera OF
the rubbish of speculation values and UNI
sound business enterprises, in order to
get solid rock bottom on which to build,
is going on, the public sits wondering
how it all came about. The old axiom
History repeats ITSELF seems always to
be forgotten in affairs of trade, and the
panics Of l847-1S57-lS66 and 1873, with
the causes that brought them about, have
all been forgotten as soon as they passed
by. A panic like an epidemic is contagi-
GUS, and the disease of failure always
comes from ap epidemic ofgeneral in
debtedness. limo one ran in debt it is
safe to assume there never would be any
failures.
On the other hand such a system would
greatly retard all kinds of business en-
terprises. Credit judiciously given is
productive of vast benefits. 1t is only
where an immense expansion is allowed
that the disastrous results of the present
occur. The talk Of "oyerproduction,"
labor-saving machinery, or protective
tariff being to blame for these periodical
depressions is all wrong. They may
hasten results, but nothing more. "Gen-
eral Indebtedness" tells the whole story.
Montanians cannot too highly compli-
mept themselves. that ever since the
organization of our territorial govern
ment we have been singularly free from
debt, both as a territory and as individu-
ais. The result is that our commercial
credit stands higher than that Of any
other section in the United States. Chi
cago merchants say that collections are
better in Montana than any other loca-
lily where they sell goods. The agen-
cies of Bradstreet and Dunn state that
there is smaller percentage of failures
in Montana than anywhere else in the
United States. 1t is to this enviable
condition of freedom from debt that We
owe our present prosperity. While the
| eastern, middle and many ofthe western
/ states including our sister territory, Da-
kota, are in the slough of dependency
over maturing promises to pay, and an
empty pocket-hook with which to meet
them, Montana sits smiling at her desk
and counts out the "yellow bags" to all
who have bills against her. Keep out Of
debt as individuals and states, and such
a thing as periodical depression will be
unknown

Horse Stealing.

On Wednesday night man rooming
with Swede on Black street suddenly
disappeared. At the same time two
horses belonging to w. o. Thompson
were also missed, and suspicion fastened
itself upon the missing man as the thief.
The Swede claims that his roommate
lruged him and stole from the house
over $500. The sheriff was Immediately
informed of the transaction and has done
everything in his power to apprehend
the thief On Saturday one of the horses
returned to it's owner and it is thought
that he rode the animal until it was tired
and then mounted the other. People
living in the vicinity of Bishops farm
claim to have seen man IN the brush
on Thursday morning, answering the de-
scription of the thief. About the same
time two saddles were stolen from the
Foor farm, near town, and it is thought,
by the same party.

P. s. Rouutree writes from Minneapolis
that it is roasting hot; flies are intolera-
BILE, and contrasting this country with
that is like comparing Heaven with
"Hades." He says the Minneapolis fair
is grand success, and the agricultural
display made by Bismarck, Dakota, mag
nifcent. The samples of Gallatin valley
wheat and oats that he placed on exhibi-
ton at the st. Paul and Minneapolis
Boards of Trade, created genuine SEN
sation. Never before had they heard of
such enormous yields. Preparations for
the reception of the Willard party are
made on the grandest scale and the cities
will make this celebration the most mo-
mentious in their history. He heard
much talk about Bozeman, and always 81
the most favorable character. But the
recent commissions in financial circles
throughout the east has caused every
capitalist to withdraw, like gopher into
his hole and they are only just beginning
to peep out again. The harvest of Dakota
and Minnesota is about over and the
yield is turning out better than antici'
pated. Every one looks for brighter
times. The Willard party's trip will be &

4 Shameful Libel.

A Washington special in the Chicago
Times, of August Goth, contains a malic-
ious and unfounded report about Colonel
Ilges, which would make it appear that
some secret enemy is endeavoring to
injure him. This report accuses Col.
onel Ilges of deserving wife and family
in Germany. Colonel Ilges came to
this country when he was seventeen
years of age and joined the army: He
never was married. He supports an
adopted son in Europe, a white child
whom he captured fFom the Apaches
in Arizona in 1867, whose parents were
massacred in 1865. In the nobleness
and generosity his heart he burdened
himself with the care and support Of
the child that he rescued from the saw
ages by his yaloF. An act so like him
that who know him, will recogAize it
as practically his own. Whatever faults
of tho head Col, Ilges may have COM
mitted, he has the heart Of q gentleman
and soldier, and whatever may be the
result of his recent trial, the people OF
Montana will ever warmly sympathize
with one who has always been good
soldier, gallant defender of the from
tier and a generous friend of the I'M
fortunate. -Independent.
