THE EXPOSITION.

Congress has voted 100000 in order to
make fine display of the government ex-
hibit at the Worlds Exposition next winter.
Some of the departments had only rudi-
mentary collection at the time Of the Gen.
tennial at Philadelphia. These collections
have been increased tenfold since then, and
will be opened in New Orleans in fine or
der. The United States Geological Survey
will furnish fine exhibit of minerals, ores
and rocks from all the States and Terrific
ries. It has collection of interesting fos-
sill animals and fossils. exhibiting the char
acteristics of animals and plants now ex-
tinct. 1t has models of extinct volcanoes,
the Grand Canyon Of Colorado, Yosemite
Valley and the National Park. II has
plans of the Gomstock and other great
mines of the country. To describe the
specimens representing the life of former
ages, fishes, reptiles, gigantic quadrupeds,
now extinct, she'll fish that have lived in
ancient geological periods would require a
large volume. The government is in earn
est in this matter and proposes to spare no
expense to make the display one of the
finest. of its kind, ever seen in this or any
other country.

NEW POSTAL NOTES.

The Postoiiite Department is issuing
new style Of postal note. 1t is Of the same
style as the old one, but differs III color and
the method Of indicating the number of
dollars to be paid. The old one was made
Of bright yellow paper, with broad design
ON the back printed in green. The amount
to be paid was indicated by punching fig
ures in the margin. The new one is made
Of paper Of a faded lilac color, and is print
ed in black on the face and in blue on the
back. The number of dollars is indicated
by the number of stubs attached to it after
it is torn from the book. The chief reason
for making the change was the poisonous
nature of the ink on the back of the old
notes. The new ones will entirely super
cede the old ones in a few weeks.

A CORRECTION.
HECLA Con. MINING COMPANY.
GLENDALE, Mont, Aug. IL, 1854

HEcLA Con. MINING COMPANY.
GLENDALE, Mont, Aug. Is, 1884.
To the Editor of the Dillon TRIBUNE:
My DEAR SIR For several weeks I
have been exceedingly annoyed concerning
a small item going the rounds of our pa
pers, reading: THE Hecia Company at
Lion struck it rich in the OLD Trapper
This mine is now yielding daily from
$1,000 to $1,000"
The fact is simply this: A month since
we struck very promising prospect 10 the
Trapper; during the month the MRS
yielded about 50 tons of first class ore aver
aging 10 per cent. lead, $50 ounces silver
What a mine or mans grandfather was
years ago ought not to serve as boom in
either case to-day. It is these false booms
in every department of life that are the
denominations and curses Of the presen,
age. A mine or man should sail under
what they are, not what they pretend OF
would like to be- / like rich strikes, bu,
rich lies prefer to let others enjoy.
remain your friend,
H. KNIPPENBERG. General Manager.

A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOV
ERNOK.

WHEREAS, The Texas cattle fever hay
ing already made its appearance in neigh
boring States and Territories, and this fatal
disease having attacked native cattle which
grazed on or near the trail Of Texas herds
from southern ranges:
And, being officially notified that Texas
cattle are en- route by railroad to Montana,
to be turned loose upon our ranges, thereby
ieopardizng nearly twenty millions of dol
ars invested in cattle within our borders !:
Now, therefore, in order to protect this
great interest and the fortunes Of our own,
as we'll as those of the citizens OF other
States and Territories, l, 1Jno. Schuyler
Crosby, Governor of the Territory of Mon
tana, do hereby declare quarantine estab-
lished against all such Texas cattle coming
into the Territory Of Montana, by rail, and
do hereby call upon all citizens to aid in
the enforcement of the quarantine afore-
said.
In testimony whereof, l have hereunto
~ set my hand and caused the seal
SEAL. of the Territory of Montana to
49, be affixed. Done at Helena, the
capital of said territory, this fifth day OF
August, A. D. 1854
mo. SCHUYLER CROSBY.

A durable and weiehty looking door j

A durable and weighty looking door is
now made of paper. While it costs about
the same as wood, it is much better, because
there is no shrinking, swelling, cracking or
warping. It is composed of two thick pa
per boards, stamped and moulded into pan
els, and glued together with glue and pot
ash, and then rolled through heavy rollers.
It is first covered with a waterproof coat
ing and then with fireproof coating, and
is painted and vanished and hung in the
ordinary way.

POLITICAL SCANDALS.

The opening of the Presidential cam
paign by the publication of indecent scan
dals about the Democratic and Republican
nominees sickened the whole country. The
unanimous and hearty manner in which
the newspapers condemned and the people
trowned upon these scandals choked them,
and it is hoped that that indecent mode OF
conducting the campaign will be aban-
doned. 1t should be after the light OF re-
cent developments. The disgracetul stories
tod about Gov. Cleveland, the Democratic
candidate, were started by an indiscreet
minister of the gospel, and when sifted
amount to little or nothing, merely reviv-
ing an indiscretion committed by Cleve-
land some fifteen or sixteen years ago. and
which under the light of investigation has
been stripped of all the horrid features at
first presented. Worse scandals than the
Cleveland scandal are happening all over
the world every week in the year and they
are scarcely matter of newspaper record.
The scandal against Blaine was about the
dirtiest piece of newspaper work that has
ever been attempted. The story, started
by an Indianapolis editor, that Blaine had
seduced his wife and had to marry her at
the mouth of shot gun is pronounced by
such Democrats as Henry Watterson ofthe
Louisville Courier journal a mere inven-
ton, without the shadow of foundation
Thus it appears that an indiscreet minister
on one side and an insane or incorporate
editor on the other put these scandalous
stories in circulation, which were scattered
broadcast over the country through me-
dunn of the associated press. The better
sense and decency of the American people
| revolted at such impure canards, and the
| prompt condemnation of the scandals it is
hoped has put a stop to that kind OF repre-
hensible political work. In conducting a
National, Territorial or County campaign
all such stuff should be left entirely out
We are about beginning the campaign in
Montana for Delegate to Congress and for
! the election Of members OF the Legislature
and for the filling of the various county
offices, and it would be injurious to our
| reputation as people to try to make it ap-
| pear that the men selected as candidates
for these positions were men of unclean
| lives. An unfit man should never be
elected to any position, national or local
but the starting of scandals does not prove
a candidate unfit. The political ideas OF
principles man represents, his capacity
honesty, or competency to fill position
are fit subjects for dissection and discussion
and it is to be hoped for decency's sake that
the attention of the public will be confined
to these topics for the remainder of the
campaign, and that unsavory scandals viii
not pollute the columns of the newspaper:
of the land to the Giscredit of the people
of the whole country.

associations, including w. N. Lynch, OF
Wheeling, were before the House Commit
mittee. A graphic description OF the
squslid condition OF foreign lsborers was
given and figures furnished to show how
prices were reduced and labor degraded.
Four bills intended to improve the condi-
tion Of the working classes are now before
Congress and an earnest effort is being
made by labor association representatives,
here to secure favorable legislation. Peti-
l..iops to that end, signed by thirty thou
sar workingmen, were presented to-day.

HOW THEY DIFFER.
Comparisors Between the sennte and

Comparisons Between the senete and
House.
There seems to be more or less jealousy
at all times between the two branches OF
Congress. THE Senate is gradually grow
log away from u.s." remarked member ot
the House to me day or two since. Its
members are elected for long terms; they
do not feel the same direct sense OF respon'
sibility to the people that those who have
to come up and be judged for the deeds
done In the body every two years. A good
many OF them represent corporations
rather than constituencies, and do not
seem to care much what the public gener-
ally think so that the element which elects
them is satisfied. There are not q half.
dozen Senators, for instance, who would
have voted for resolution to provide
themselves with clerks at public expense
when they were members OF the House,
and yet they find no difficulty in the way
when they get 10 the Senate. l do not OBJ
iect to their action in this respect, foy
think that every member, whether OF the
House or Senate, ought 10 be provided with
ibe appliances necessary to enable him to
do bis work properly, and the correspond

all hands are busy removing the debris
and repairing the buildings which were
dsmsgcd. The French plate fronts in al
most every business room on Main street
were broken into small fragments and the
openings have been temporarily closed up
with boards. A large rumber OF men re-
mained at work at night, and several of
the firemen were overcome by exhaustion,
and one, whose name could not be learned
was found lying in doorway completely
saturated with water and unable to move
or speak. He was picked up and car.
ried to Shidlers livery stable where
he received proper attention. J. d. Lewis,
Esq who was seated in +. Moore's place OF
business Gcross the way from the building
in which the explosion occurred was sent
through back window into the street, but
escaped with slight injuries about the face
and head. Charles H. Hayden, OF Dul rez
