The Rents.Ssntley Company.

Last nights opening at Ming's Opera
House by the Rentz-Santley company
was well attended, but there was nota-
BILE absence of ladies. This was doubt
less due to the fact that western people
q rule do not approve of too lavish a
display of the human form divine, which
it was generally understood land rightly,
too) was one of the specialties of this
company. However proper this aver
sion to the study of statuary in living
models may be We are not prepared to
say, but will simply state that those who
prefer statuary endowed with life and
motion rather than the cold marble,
have an excellent opportunity in these
performances to crafty their love Of art.
The costuming Of the company is as q
general thing rich and elegant-though
it is hardly 80 plentiful as some people
may think appropriate to this time of the
year in Montana. The programme con-
sists entirely of singing and dancing,
with q little trapeze work. wire rope
walking, and minstrel business thrown
in for variety. A feature is made of the
burlesque extravaganza Of "Don Jose,
the Spanish Dude" with Miss Alice
Townsend as Don Jose, in which she ap-
pears to advantage. The dancing and
singing of the entire company was very
good, although several members had bad
colds last night, contracted while cross
ing the range yesterday in box car.
The trapeze work and the performance
on slack wire weIe also commendable.
The minstrel business is average. But
the chief glory lies inthe opportunity for
studying art.-Independent.

4 Beneficial Enterprise,

Messrs. Sudlow and Dawes expect from
Chicago tomorrow a large lot Of finely
finished nickle-plated numbers, which
they intend to place on all the stores and
residences of those who desire it, charg-
ing a nominal price. By this arrange
ment the great difficulty heretofore ex-
perienced in directing people to houses
will be over come, and when once num-
bered everyone will be delighted with
the improvement. It is good, practica-
BILE idea, and deserves to be literally
patronized. The young men are rustlers
from Rustlertown, and their enterprise
will no doubt meet with q hearty recog.
milton. They have the latest system for
doing the same.

HASTY JUDGMENT.
Some Decided Opinions on an I'm.
determined Question.

frODaDly nearly every man Ill tne
west has been asked the question, "What
do you think of the Ceur d'Alene
mines" We acknowledge. the interro-
CATION some score of times, and have
merely to say that there has not been
sufficient development yet for any one to
express a well-founded opinion upon.
We notice that railroad companies, town
companies, "gold field" newspapers, and
other interested parties, are tanning with
glittering generalities the fame of the
biggest and widest stampede that has
occurred since the days of pixies Peak"
What are they doing it on? There has
only been one claim opened and worked,
and nobody outside of those interested
knows whether it is wages diggngs" or
good for $50 day. We notice on the
other hand that some parties are writing
out that the mines are "a fraud" "the
biggest humbug on earth," etc., etc., and
that many newspapers in localities be-
ing drained by the stampede are publish
ing these letters with display heads, and
taking them for the texts of denunciatory
homilies. What are they doing it on?
There have not been a half-dozen shafts
sunk to bed bedrock In the whole Cnur
d'Alene camp; snow is go deep they
couldn't be seen if nuggets were sticking
in the grass roots. and timber is 80 thick
even the trees can't fall down to expose
root earth. Is it not evident that no one
can know yet whether the country is
good or bad? We therefore take no
stock in these declarations that the
country is "a fraud" and very little more
in the declarations that it is good camp.
There has been gold found on rim-rock,
and gold found on bedrock on "the Wild
ow Claim" That is evidence of its being
a gold country. But how rich, how ex-
tensive, how available for working, no
one knows; and no one can know until 1t
is better prospected. The opinion of ex-
perienced miners id that if all the creeks
alleged to be gold-bearing are good, and
all are worked, the mines and dependent
industries might accommodate 5000 or
5000 men. The chances are largely
against this; it is more likely the extent
of paying ground will prove limited, as
the history of mining camps generally
suggests. The stampede is driving men
there at the rate of 5000 or s, 900 month
and very little mining can be done until
May. Provisions are high in the mines,
and must for some time remain SO. Rail-
road agents, conductors and others hav-
ing opportunities to know, estimate that
three-fourths of those going to the Ceur
d'Alenes are poor men, with perhaps not
| sufficient means to subsist q month UNI
less they obtain employment. These
things together mean hard times for
great many, and suffering as well as dis
apl ointment, unless the mines prove
much greater than the most sanguine
anticipate. This much appears certain
but whether the Ceur d'Alene is another
Ophir, or fraud, no may can yet say as
| fact.-New Northwest.

We understand that the cabins of VIM.
Hamilton, John Anderson, Hubbell and
Mcdonald was burned by the Grow In
dams about one week ago. The cabins
are situated on the head of the saltwater,
and from our information, are not on the
Grow reservation. The parties were alb
sent when the act was committed, else it
would have taken a whole tribe of the
devils to have accomplished their pur-
pose. 1t is said that an employe of the
Crow agency was in command OF the
Crows, and hence was acting under ord
ers from the agent. fthis is so. we can
not but think the agent has caused a
high-handed outrage to be committed,
and for which he should be held. tn &C.
count. The miners have been engaged
in prospecting and working some leads,
which, it Is said, are located on the re-
servation, but their habitations were not,
and should have been respected, and if
they were trespassing on the reservation,
should have been notified to desist, but
taking advantage of their absence and
burning up their homes was cowardly in
the extreme. We do not charge that it
was done on the authority Of the agent,
but it looks like it.

Council Meeting.

The City Council met last evening in
regular session and dispatched a good
deal Of business. The ordinance prOvid-
ing for the issuance of bonds bearing Z
per cent interest per annum and running
ten years and to be issued for the pur-
pJse of buying steam fire engine. After
some discussion as to the amount to be
issued whether it shall be five or eight
thousand dollars was made special
.order for a meeting Saturday night.
Alderman Tracy rendered his resigna-
1ion: action was deferred until the next
regular meeting.
Communications and petitions being
next in order, q bombshell was thrown
into the Council when the Mayors COM
munication in reference to removal of
city Offices was read, heretofore publish
ed in the CHRoNlcLE) a lively and some
what angry discussion followed in the
motion of Alderman Koch, "That the
communication be not received, in that
It Vas discourteous to the Council, incor-
rect in its statements etc. The Mayor
contending he had not stated anything
which was not borne out by the facts. 1t
was finally adopted.
Other routine business was taken up
and resolution adopted directing con-
tract for the rooms in the Courier build
ing, and that the city officers be instruct
ed to move to the new quarters.
In commenting on this the CHRONICLE
desires to be fair and to take such a posi-
ton as the facts and the law governing
in such case upholds. In the first place
it is in the power of the Council alone to
provide quarters for city officers. 1t
seems that they did so at special meet
ing, February 10th, after that meeting it
was learned that Alderman Rouse was
in town and had not been notified, and
for that reason it is stated that the meet
ing was illegal. Alderman Rouse filed
protest, a special meeting was held Mon
day, but from either oversight or mis-
taken judgment the protest was not pre-
scented at that meeting, placing as some
contend beyond the power of the Coun-
Gil to reconsider, 1--WE are not posted on
the rules adopted by the COuncil) as such
reconsideration must come up at the
next meeting. In this view of the case
we cannot see how the Council could
recede from their position to take the
Courier rooms. We will not attempt to
Discuss the propriety of the removal, ex-
cept to say. this, that no point in our city
is 90 far removed as to amount to great
hardship. In fact we personally care
but little where the Council may deter
mine to locate the city officers. We are
always willing to believe that those
whom we have elected to fill the various
positions, carry with them an honest de-
sire to discharge their duty, at all events
the question of location is now settled by
the resolution adopted, and hereafter
the Courier rooms will be occupied.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-09-20

Sometime ago we heard a prOmi-
nent demo crat say if he were a cam
didate for Congress in this district he
would proclaim the doctrine of free
trade and appeal to the farmers for
their support, feeling quite sure that
farmers as a class suffer by the protec.
ton policy Of the Republican party.
Judging from Mr.. Nelson's speech on
Wednesday last. he has adopted the
idea exposed above, and is endeav.
Oring by the most miserable and nom
sensible ciap-trap to win men over
to his way of thinking. All we ask
in this connection is that our people
of both parties will examine the sub.
ject for themselves and make up their
conclusions from the facts, and not
undertake to follow in the wake of
the free traders simply because some
political weathercOck sees fit to turn
his beak in that direction and beck
on them on. Especially do we ask
our farmers and miners to inyesti.
gate this important subject for them
selves, and if they do so they will
find that our country has been pros.
porous under protective tariff, and
has made wonderful strides in all the
avenues which lead a nation to wealth,
prosperity and Happiness. But our
Democratic friends tell ia that the
great industrial progress of the coun-
try has been made at the cost of the
agricultural interest, and that the
manufacturer has robbed the farmer.
This is untrue in every aspect. The
STATISTICS show that as manufacturers
increase the number of farms in.
crease, the production of cereals In
ereases, value of farms increases and
value of live stock increases. The
number of sheep, owing to the duty
on wool, has more than doubled
since 1860 and our home product of
wool is nearly five times what it was
In 1860. And just here it seems to
US is a matter which comes directly
home to the people of Garrett county.
You all know the prices which have
been obtained for wool for number
of years prior to 1884 and prior to the
tinkering with the tariff by Dem
ocratic congress and you know what
your wool is worth now. Which do
you prefer, protection and good prices
for your wool, or free trade and low
prices for what you sell. What you
want is protection for the laborers,
miners, manufacturers. artisans and
mechanics so that you will have con.
