afterwards, it carried her into Bloomor
dress, and left her stranded at hirh tide
as q silly woman whose GOOD taste
could not be trusted. One evening, at
our house, she was conversing with a
WeIl-known lecturer on geology, whom
she questioned necessarily.

A Horrible Custom in India.

The horrible crime of mutilat.ao
women by cutting off their noses is so
common in Bombay as to call for the
most stringent repression, and nothing.
we imagine, will repress it but the free
use of the lash. In the sessions ending
yesterday, Mr. Justice Scott had to hear
three-we might say five-of these cases,
one after the other He postponed his
sentences for week, and we were in
hopes he would IN each case order the
criminals to be logged within an ace of
their lives.
Eventually, however, he sentenced
them severally to what he had ascertained
to be the usual punishment, three years
imprisonment. We are inclined to re-
greet that the learned sessions Judge. new
as he is to. the country, did not throw
precedent over altogether. Surely these
are cases in which the lash would be at
once the most fitting punishment and the
best deterrent.
Estimated by the misery inflicted. even
the most severe penalties would seem too
trivial, and If the law does not permit Of
1ogging ia the cases Of such cruel mu-
tIlation, the law should be altered. The
miserable women who are mutilated in
this way are, Of course, rendered hideous
ever afterward, and, because they are
women, it is simply impossible to caIcu-
late the misery and degradation that
they viii experience during the rest OF
their lives. No amount Of imprisonment
viii eradicate crime that is still evi-

On the eve of statehood Montans IS

A minister at Butte ils araigned for
heresy, the principal Of the public school
having preferred the charges. 1t speaks
we'll Tor The progress and independence
of the minister, for charge of heresy is
equivalent to certificate for advance d
ideas and superior intelligence; and 1t is
more encouraging than otherwise to hear
of such prosecutions for righteousness
sake. Since the memorable trial of Prof
Swing, of Chicago, few years ago for
heresy the thurch has been moving for
ward aud keeping pace with the age in
progress, and hundreds Of ministers who
before dared not express tnelr honest con
yictions for fear of breaking the creed
have since taken their stand where they
can claim the support of science instead
of that Of formulated articles OF faith a.
obsolete as the Mosaic law.

THE first member of congress who pre-
sumes to revive the celebrated and in
famous star route question should be
muzlled on the spot and confined in the
capital prison until the end Of the session.
There is no doubt but there was an i'm
mensc amount of stealing done in those
contracts, and frauds and perjury COM
mltted IN obtaining them, but there was
fully as much stealing done in the en-
ploynent of detectives, and giving wit
nesses free excursions to Washington AID
furnishing them high living while there
az by the parties being prosecuted. So
far as the general government is con-
cerned it is about twice as much at loss
as 1t would have been had no prosecution
been made. There is no enterprise 80
SAFE as that Of defrauding the govern
ment when members of congress are
silent partners IN the business.

THE Fargo Republican of Sunday
morning contains lengthy and sound
editorial argument for the division of the
territory and Its admission as two states
into the union at once. 1t shows that
nineteen states have been admitted into
the union with less than 100000 inhab-
itants, and all of these but four with less
than $4,000 each, and claims that Dakota
on either side of the 46th parallel has a
population of over 10000. 1t shows
that the average population of the twen-
ty-five states admitted since the ratifica.
tion of the constitution is less than 1885,
600, and from these and various other
statistical facts urges the justice and
force Of the desire of the majority of the
people of this territory for division and
admission, rightfully claiming that their
political influence upon tho forthcoming
presidential election should have no
weight against it, and quoting from the
platforms of the democratic party in sup
port of the position.

TIE irrepressible Bill Springer, con
gresham from Illinois, has fort, just
as every man should have, and his fort is
investigation. If he had adopted the
detective profession instead of wandering
away into politics he would have out
riyalled PlnkeIton. He would always
h we had theory. lie can sight crook
edness in the remotest corners of the re-
publican party although he is apparently
stone blind to those IN his own party.
He does not telong to the democratic
party, that party belongs TO him. A few
years ago he started an investigation that
came nigh running the democratic party
before it could be stopped. lie started
it in the republican party upon the cele-
brated "s to ~ count but 1t ended in the
cipher dispatches of Tllden aud the ma
nlpulators of the democratic lparty. He
sailed into the investigation invoking the
aid of all good citizens regardless of
party but before the end he was implor-
Ing aid to help him let go.

JAMESTOWN. D. T. FRIDAY, FEB. /, 1884.

The marriage of the venerable Fred
Douglass, the colored orator and states
man, with white woman in Washing.
ton City, will perhaps lower rather than
elevate him in the estimation of the
American people. Alisccgination Of tht
two races, 50 strikingly aud ineradlcably
distinct and with such natural social
aversion to each other, is condemned by
