THE PICNIC,
Or a Trip 20 MiIIer's BesE Cave,

Awakening from the apathy that
had for quite a period been epidemic
at Fort Maginnis, a party Of officers
and ladies declared their intention Of
visiting Miler's Bear Cave, which has
is entrance at a dizzy height from the
Collar canyon, two miles from the
post. Arrangements were quickly
made, and on Tuesday morning, the
goth ult, the excursionlsts set forth IN
three wagons.
Arriving at a point opposite the
the ave a halt was made, and those
who felt equal to the climb i'm
mediately began ascending the steep
mountain side. The journey up to
the a v was dificult-even hazardous
on account OF the loose rocks and
fallen trees o%bstructing the way, but
was accomplished in good time, al
though rarity Of the atmosphere neces
stated frequent halts n we reached
the goal. After a few minutes rest at
the cave, pine torches were procured
aud other preparations made for
descending into the ''bowels Of the
earth"
The gentlemen first entered to
cave armed with rifles, revolvers, hatch
cts and XII e., determined to exter-
inmate any bears that might have taken
quarters there for the seasons hiberna-
ton, but there were nc traces of bruin;
the ladies then gracefully u glided
through the opening, the floor of
which had been carpeted with green
bodghs by a gallant and thoughtful es-
cort; we found ourselves in a sub
teranean passage about ten feet vide
and eight feet from floor to roof; ad-
vancing thirty feet, we came to the
first 'chamber," about ten feet square,
in the entire of which is deep pool
OF water containing what appeared to
be the skeleton Of a bear; continuing
on along a narrow shelf lover which
we were obliged to crawl on one side
of the tank, a solid partition was dis.
covered having two openings, sepa.
rated by a ~staiactite pillar, into the
second room where we found many
beautiful shapes of stalactite and stall
agmite formations. 1t was at Thu
point that one of the ladies felt Ger
tain that she heard the angry growl
ing Of a bear,-the terrible sound wa
soon proven to be the echo of tn,
deep, s%onorous, voice of one of tn,
gentlemen, however, and the colo
again appeared in the lady's face.
A few feet further, and our journe,
terminated, for we were at the end c
the cave. Having broken off severa
pieces Of the different formations t
keep as Souvenirs, we returned to tn
outer world, well satisfied with on
exploration and convinced that ther
are many wonders in Montana, alone
that we may never behold during on
brief existance on this mundan
sphere.
The descent from the cave was lie:
tedious than the climbing, for whe
we became fatigued by walking, "
had but to sit down and slide twent
or thirty feet and bring up agaIni
some friendly log which was sure I
stop us.
We found our friends in the canyo
somewhat impatiently waiting for U.S.
or for lunch rather, to which we a
did full justice.

money thus intended, for the re-

publican cot mpOrary says
Cleveland was of military age

war was on. He informs MS that
he was studying law. This was
about the time Post Master, Ppr-
sell was milking his mothers

officer in command of his Com
pany Was marking him down a
deserter. 1t was about this time
that Al. Brooke pulled his teeth

act time when sx-post master
Rempel resigned in the face Of
the enemy Tor the good of the
service, and for the dishonorable
work of chasing Democrats from
their homes, supported by Wis
consin soldiers. About the same
time that Cleveland was keep
ing out of the army, Blaine was
concocting his scheme 70: land
grabs and railroad subsidies
which made him rich. The edi

The Cholera.

The cholera is making rapid
advances in Europe, and threat
eniag to invade this country II
is very violent in many French
seaports, doing business with
New York and New Orleans.
President Arthus has issued q
proclamation ordering strict
quarantine to all vessels sailing
from the infected French sea-
ports.
The Boards of Health of the
various cities of our country are
enforcing the strictest sanitary
measures.
When the cholera last visited

Board of Health should at once
proceed to have the town put in

THE PLATFORM.

On the outside Of this paper we
publish the declaration of princl-
c,ples az enunciated in the Demo
cratic National Platform.
The platform continues the tra-
ditionary policy Of the Democracy
IN regard to the controversy be-
tween Free Trade and Protection;
and by this means the policy Of tol.
Grafton of conflicting opinions and Of
actual union and cooperation in the
endeavor to establish democratic
opinions in the control of the coun-
try.
Its effect is to relegste the tar
if question to the secondary place
which it ought to occupy, and to
put the question of administration
reform and honest government in
the first place, where it properly be-
Iohgs.
Let the reader carefully scan the
whole of these words. and every
clause of every proposition. and he
will find that these are the ideas set
forth:
|. The surplus in the Treasury
must be abolished. Excessi;e tax
ation rs outrageous.
IF. Internal revenue taxes can
only be justified for war purposes.
Their proceeds should be exclusively
devoted to war pensions and to the
care of disabled soldiers.
III. TIE tariff must be reformed
and in this reform the principle of
Protection TO American Industry
ehall be sacredly regarded and
maintaHfeQ.
The platform escapes the great
dangers that have beset the Democ
racy, and escapes them not by any
compromise of doctrine or any Jug
gle Of words The whole question
is placed on the ground of practical
craftsmanship and the necessities of
The country. The free trader sur
renders no iota of his aspirations;
he protectionist has nothing to con-
'true away or apologize for 1t is
udicious, wise, and progressive.

Mr.. Pursell and Mr.. Brooke

Mr.. Pursell's retirement from
the paper will be sincerely re-

years with editorial ability and

from the paper is on account OF
his inability to give any time to
editorial work while attending to
the exacting duties of the office
to which he has been appointed.
Mr. Brooke retires for a similar
reason, having his time entirely

The situation in the Hooking

On last Sunday and Monday
several car loads Of men picked up

failed to do.
The Chicago police at Straits
vile were arrested on charge of IL
legally assuming authority, and the
Justice bound them over to appear
In Court and stand trial for usurpa-
ton of authority. The Pinkerton's
pinking at Carbonhill will be serv-

morrow, and their trial will be held
on Saturday before Squire Bode-
