A good way to make money scarce and

A good way to make money scarce and
to produce dull times, is for every one to
cry hard times. Capital is very timid
and is apt to draw in and contract on the
first sound of alarm. Many people have
small sums of money to loan, and are
frightened from doing SO, when they hear
the cry of hard times, and when surplus
money is drawn from general circulation
by these reasons, hard times will follow
as natural sequence. But are times
really hard? Is not business as good as is
usual after the winter months have set
in. By comparison with few months of
last winter we know that business is not
as good as the corresponding period of
last year, but that was abnormal and
could not in the nature of things con-
time; but, after all, is there another such
a country on the face of the globe. We
have no paupers: we have none who are
absolutely destitute; We dare say none
who are not able to procure the neces-
saries of life. That the money market is
stringent, can not be denied, but the rea-
sons have been 50 often given and are so
patent to every observing mind that We
will not repeat them. The causes which
produced it are not likely to arise again.
The money paid out for government and
railroad lands will not have to be paid
again, and while it has drained the cir
culation, it has, added wealth to the
country The future looks bright with
promise. Montana will have a larger
emigration next year than any succeed
ing one From all quarters come in
quiries from persons who are thinking
of coming to Montana. There is room
for them in every branch of industry and
pluck, energy and perseverance will be
sure of reward. We hear this cry of dull
times every winter. This has been our
experience ever since we have been here.
In fact, winter, while the lively time in
some places, has always been the dullest
in Bozeman. In view of these things
we can say truthfillly that there is no
COON reason to cry hard times.

The Courier asks us why we did not
publish the contract with Mr.. Alden for
grading on Main street We answer be-
cause we did not think it necessary or
that the alderman who is editor Of the
Courier or our readers were entitled to its
publication, because the contract says that
the work must he done in accordance
with the plans and drawings made by
the city engineer and on file in the Office
of the city clerk and are a part Of the
contract, in fact the most important part,
because they are minute, showing the
exact place from which every yard of
earth must be moved; also every depres-
sion in which earth had to be placed in
order to bring the street up to the proper
grade. To publish the contract without
these plans and. drawings (Which We
could not publish) would have been very
incomplete, as one in great measure
explains the other. After close inspec-
ton of these plans, we are more convinc-
ed than ever of their importance, as they
must have been the contractors guide on
first taking the contract and as the work
progressed. They were also guide for
the city engineer, which together with
his cross section work, enabled him to
determine exactly to yard, what
earth had been removed from high points
and what placed in the low places. We
have no doubt the city engineer and
street committee fully understand these
plans and after our examination Of their
reports and the drawings, we are well
satisfied that the city engineer and the
street committee have done what they
believed to be their duty, notwithstand-
ing. Again the Courier says that the power
of veto mot only should, but it actually
does reside in the mayor" Once for all
we will say that we would not care if it
did; but we deny that it does, and would
ask where it comes from? In what part
of the charter is such power delegated?
A mere assertion will not do. The plain,
stern logic OF the law stares us in the face
and says, no.

O'Donnell's Confession.

DUBLIN, Jan. THE United Ireland
publishes all account Of the murder oil
Carey, written by a gentleman who re.
celved it from O'Donnell, and which was
not to be told so long asa chance remain
ed to save O'Donnell's life. The account
shows that O'Donnell deliberately killed
Carey. There was no struggle. Carey
made no attack on O'Donnell. Had
Judge Denman permitted O'Donnell to
speak he would have told the whole
story of the killing. O'DonneI was not
acquainted with Carey on the voyage
from England to the Cape of Good Hope.
He was not member of any society. He
recognized Carey by wood-cut which
he saw. at Cape Town, and resolveds to
kill him. He intended to 60 with him to
farm at Port Elizabeth, which Carey
had told him he was going to take, and
thus show there was no spot where Carey
could be safe. Finding himself, however,
alone with Carey, he could not resist the
desire to kill him. Carey perceived his
danger, and said:
"Do you know me, O'Donnell:"
O'Donnell replied: "You are Carey,
the informer. To hell with you" A
bullet sped with the words, and the deed
was done. Carey clutched his own re-
volver, but too late. ODonnell fired two
more shots and Carey rolled to the deck.
Nobody saw the encounter except O'Don-
nell's companion, who threw her arms
around him and filled the ship with her
cries. He told her that morning that he
meant to kill Carey, and would hang for
it. When Mrs. Carey reached the scene
O'Donnell said to her: 81 had to do
it."
New YORK, Jan. 4.-Henry Willard
