WHEN. Oh WHEN.

The Billings Herald thinks the
Democratic majority in the Constitu-
tional Convention should not have
elected an ardent Republican as its
chief clerk, and wants to know
when in the history of the Terri
tory the Republicans bestowed an Of
flee in their gift on a Democrat?"'
We give up the conundrum. The
'oldest inhabltant" will rack his
memory in vain for an instance
where a Republican majority Or a
Republican official from a Board of
County Commissioners to the Gov
ernor ever bestowed a favor upon q
Democratic newspaper or an office
upon a Democrat. On the contrary,
instances are not lacking where Re-
publican majorities have strained the
law to furnish pap" for the organs
Of their party and otherwise to ad-
vance the interests of their party
friends. Democratic majorities, how
ever, have always shown a liberal
spirit in the disposition of offices at
their command. Mr.. Van Cleve's
election as chief clerk Of the Consti-
tutional Convention is not an isolated
one. The chief clerk of the last
Council was a Republican, and other
instances may be cited of Democratic
msjorities comforting official favors
upon Republicans. But when, Oh
when have Republican majorities
placed Democrats in office?

A Wonderful Story.

DR.. de la POmmerais was executed
in June, 1864, for Il murder OF til
Palmer type. Gu the night before the
execution he was visited by Surgeon
Velpeau, who alter u few preliminary
remarks informed him that he carue
in the Interests of science, and that
he hoped for DR.. de la Ponrnerais'
corporation. "YOu know" he said,
that one of the most interesting
questions of physiology is a. 10
whether any ray OF memory, IT flee
ton, or real sensiDility survives IN
the brain of a man after the fall
OF the head" AT this point the
condemned man looked somewhat
startled; but professional instincts at
once resumed their sway, and the
two physicians calmly discussed and
arranged the details of al ex pertinent
the next morning.
"When the knife falls" said Val
peau, Il shall be standing at your
side, and your head wild at once pass
from the executioner's hand into
mine. 1 will then cry distinctly into
your ear; ''Couty de la Ponl1Ierais,
can you thrice lower the lid Of YOU
right eye, while the left remains
opel?" The next day, when the
great surgeon reached thecondeMned
cell, he found the doomed Mali prac-
tic'ng the sign agreed upon. A few
MINUTES later the gu,llotlne HAD done
Its work, the head was in Vaipeau's
hands, and the question put. Fam!l-
lar as he Was with the most SHOCK ing
aud CHASTITY scenes, he was almost
frozen with terror when be saw the
right lid fall, while the 0, her eve
Looked fixedly at him. "Again!" lie
cried trantically. The lids moved,
but they did not part. 1t Was all
over.-Paris Figaro.

THE COUNTY PRINTING.

Upon another page in this issue OF
the MINER will be found something
of interest to the taxpayers of Silver
Bow county. If comment were nee
essary we could add but little to the
conclusions to which the unpreju-
diced reader will naturally arrive.
These conclusions will not be in har-
mony with the action of the Com
missioners of Silver Bow county.
These Commissioners acting upon
the decision of a pa tisan judge au-
thOriZe one of their number to con.
tract for the county printing. They
did not advertise for bids as they
should have have done, and let the
printing to the lowest bidder. They
know there are three newspapers
published in Butte. They know, or
should know, they should have let
this contract as they let other con-
tracts-by advertising for proposals
and giving it to the lowest bidder.
But they did nothing of the kind.
Mr.. Kessler ignored the papers hav.
ing the largest circulation, went to
the Inter Mountain Publishing Com
pany, of which Mr.. VIM. NJ. Jack,
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, is a stakeholder. and
of which, we understand MI. Kess-
Ter himself, is also a stakeholder,
and consequently interested parties
in the contract and gave that paper
the contract.
This may be considered by the
County Commissioners a manly,
honest, straightforward way of doing
business for the county. bat it is in
direct violation of law, and contrary
to every principle of justice. The
taxpayers of Silver Bow county will
demand a reckoning at the hands of
the County Commissioners. They
have a right to know by what au-
thority the Commissioners acting for
and in the name of the county let
contracts to one of their own num-
Der. BY what authority was William
NJ. Jack, Chairman of the Board,
given the contract to furnish cert I'm
iron for the court house? BY what
authority did Mr.. Kessler enter into
q contract with a company in
which William NJ. Jack, and
we understand himself, are
interested. Must the county treasury
become the spoils of those who have
sworn to protect it? Where is this
to end? 1t was for just such work
as We have named that the Territor-
Legislature ousted the Custer
Commissioners last winter.
A little healthy legislation might

REDUCING NEWSPAPERS IN
SIZE.

The Livingston Enterprise, in
commenting upon news paper sus.
pensions or reductions in their size,
makes the following very sensible
remarks: "When a newspaper that
one flourished In a town dies, not
from newly developed competition
or a defect in its efficiency, but
merely from a withdrawal of patron
age. 1t may be taken as an indication
Of radically dull times in its town, or
a lack of enterprise among its people
that must necessarily retard its pros
perity. But no one could or should
blame q newspaper for suspending
its publication under such circum.
stances. A newspaper, conducted
upon the basis of private enterprise
is a legitimate business undertaking
that must be profitable to be con-
tinued, and when its prcprietors see
no prospect but that of losing money,
it is their duty to themselves to re-
duce their expenses, even, if neces-
sary, to the discontlnuance of their
business"
