There is a band of thieves

There is a band of thieves and
sharpers along with Coles circus. The
citizens of Helena, Butte and Deer
Lodge were victimized in the most
scientific manner. Several of the circus
attaches, including "Old King Cole, "
were arrested at Butte, and made to
whack up handsomely for their organ
tzed and skillful robbery. 1t was in
changing large bills for the excited
people, that the most crooked work
was performed. Cole is no better than
the rest of the gang; this we know to
be a fact.

MILITARY RESERVATIONS.
The Bill to Dispose of and CurtaiI them Passed
both Branches Of Congress.
Mineral Belt to be Cut out of Maglnnls Reserve.
WAsHrNeroN. n- C- Inne oeth


WAsHNeToN, d. c., June Goth.
A. NJ. EsLER, Maiden, NJ. T.,
Military reservation bill passed house
with same amendments as Senate O n
ours. 1t will be a law under which
the Secretary of the Interior will have
the power to act. MARTIN MAGMNIs.
The passage of this bill places aban-
doned and useless military reserves in
the hands of the Secretary of the Int
rior, and is of interest to our readers
in so far as it viii effect the Maginnis
reservation, and prove instrumental in
cutting out the mineral portion thereof.
The bill as passed, provides:
That whenever, in the opinion of the
President of the United States. the
lands, or any portion of them. included
within the limits of any military reser-
walton heretofore or hereafter declared.
nave become or shall become useless
for military purposes, he shall cause
the same, OF so much thereof as he NAV
designate, to be placed under the con-
trol of the Secretary of the Interior
for disposal, in such manner as he NAV
deem best.
The portion of this reservation that
1t is desired shall be restored to the
public domain has ever been useless
for military purposes, while the holding
of it within the reserve has nroven
derogatory to this section of the ter
rltory lnasmuch as it has inundated
capital and retarded development of
mining property. To purchase min
ing property with a clear title is a
speculation that few men make with
confidence in the result, while to pur-
chase a mine on a military reservation,
when at any time one is subject to an
order to get off, places the nominal
value OF the property at zero and
renders the speculation a most hazard
BUS one to say the least. Up to the
present time that has been the condi-
ION here, and in consequence valuable
oroperty-mining and real-if placed
upon the market, would not sell at
prlce commensura te with its value.
The timely and unanimous action
II the citizens last summer, in sending
committee to interview the President
Secretary of War, while at the
National Park, secured for us their :
ledged assistance when such a bill
$ the above passed congress. The
natter IS now in the hands of the Sec
etary of the Interior and Delegate
laginnis will experience no trouble in
occurring the reduction of the reserve
represented by several maps and "
lats now in his hands, that bear the
oproval of three of the commanders

lring the past year.

The Communication in the last
weeks GaIlipolis Journal, signed

charges that Col, ]. L. Vance, Of
Gallimlis, forced himself upon the
Democratic mass meeting at Han
ly's Store. He did no such thing.
He was invited by the Democratic
Executive Committee of Mason
county to speak at that meeting.
When invited to do so, be tried to
excuse himself, but the Committee
would listen to no excuse, and in.
sisted upon the Colonel being pres.
ent 10 address the meeting. After
50 urgent a demand being made
upon him, he consented to 60, and
did 60 and address the meeting,
and told truths about the Radical
party, its stcalings and Corruptions
in Office, and that is what is the
matter with the Gallipolis Journ.

sails under the falso signature Of

The secret of the whole thing,
however, is the fact that Col. Vance
is the Democratic candidate for
Congress in his District, and is 60.

the Republican editors and Repub.

Sometime in September they are
to hold a State Convention al

Of Independent voting.
They claim, and rightly too, that

have given 10 the Republicans
whatever mujorities they have in
the States Of this Union, and with,
out their votes, the Republicans
could scarcely carry a State in the
Union, at any election.
They propose now that the Re
publiCans shall from this on give
them flair proportion Of the Offices
or else lose their votes-in olhel
words they propose to become .
body Of independent voters.
The colored men have just cause
Of complaint of their treatment b,
the white Republicans, and we on
dOrse them in their efforts to dc
mand their rights within tho party
to which they give all thoil
