No man aas a better right to rejoice
over the election of Grover Cleveland
and the defeat of the unscrupulous hirel-
ing of the money king, Jas. G. Blaine,
than Julian 5. Carr Of this city. While
his conduct at the national convention
was severely ceusured by some, we take
it that the triumphant election of the
man he was wholly instrumental of nam
ing as the next President, is a complete
v~indication of any wrong that may have
been charged upon him. For ten years
we have been intimately acquainted with
Mr.. Carr, and have closely watched his

and at no time has he failed to work dill

THE MISSION OF TEMPERANCE

A New York divine recently re-
marked that, "The best way to stop
dram-selling is to stop dram-drink-
ing" This is true and if it could be
done what a multitude Of problems
would be solved. A small army of
internal revenue collectors, clerks
and agents could be disbanded, and
one of the largest bureaus of the
National Treasury department could
be closed up. The mists and doubts
which envelop the tariff question
would be partially cleared away,
and there is not a Jail or peniten-
tiary III the country that would not
have vacant cells. The police force
of every city could be cut down at
least fifty per cent, and all the
churches would have to be enlarged.
WHAT a pleasant world We would
have. But men are not angels and
as long as corn and rye and barley
and grapes grow whiskey, beer and
wine will be drank. The true mis-
sion of temperance people is to con-
fine its use to as. narrow a circle as
possible, not to prohibit its manufac-
tnre and sale.

AN Ill BOSS GAME.

After the assembling of the Bosses
Convention in this city yesterday it
became apparent that something
must be done to choke off the '.kick-
ers." There were fifteen or twenty
of them and indications were not
wanting that unless they were
promptly and effectually squelched
there would be trouble ahead. This
was done by a resort to an old boss
game that is older than many of the
members who were 80 beautifully
hamboozled by it. The old Tam
manyites in New York first played
it many years ago. It has often been
repeated since but within the past
few years it has not been ATTEMPTED
in a political convention only as the
last desperate resort of bosses. No
convention having due regard for the
right Of the minority ever practices
it. But we are prepared to say that
never in the history of political
conventions was the game so openly
and shamefully played as it was yes
terdav.
The Convention assembled, elected
a temporary chairman and a sccre>
tary, appointed q committee on cre>
.entials and took a recess till one
o'clock. On Resembling the report
the committee was adopted. Then

The Speakers Gavel.

1t has become customary, by cour-
tesy, for q retiring speaker to take
with him the gavei he has used, to
keep as a relic in his family; SO that
a new one must be made for each
speaker that is elected. The one
made for the present speaker has a
very plain, round, stout hickory
handle about ten inches long. It's
mallet is piece of ivory about five
inches in circumference, and on each
end are two blue circles. The first
handle made for this new gavel was
q fancy one Of ebony, with various
projections and indentations; maxi
ing 1t very weak in certain places; so
aJ the last moment q new handle
had to be made, lest the the new
speaker should break the ebony n

sis. He is not q man, however,
given to ccting on violent impulses,
Or easily provoked to anger on any

A CUT.THROAT GAME.

The battle that is now going on in
New York, says the Morning Jour-
nal, within the Republican party in
regard to the Presidential question,
Is exceedingly interesting from many
points of view. First of all, the lines
between the Stalwart aud Half
Breed are in a general way as rigidly
drawn as they W were. But on the
other hand there is a large number
of stragglers from both camps who
find themselves ranged some on one
side and some on the other. Mr..
Arthur's administration is admitted
by all the factions to be ad-
mirable in every way; but the pur-
lists of the Curtis school, the Stall
warts Of the Conkling order, the
Cornell following and the Blaine
phslanx are all convinced that it
would be unwise to give him the
nomination. The situation is anus
ing to the dlsinterested observer who
has . chance to look behind the
drop-curtain. It Is a political cut
throat game on q grand scale. The
rank and file Of the party will have a
chance to take part In the play next

Congress has offered q reward of
$4,000 to any one who will find
Lieut.. Greeley, dead or alive. No
objection can be made to the offer,
but it will occur to many that in the
attempt to find him other parties
will probably lose themselves and
other rewards will be offered to find
them. In the days of Livingstone
Africa was the favorite place for ex-
plorers to lose themselves in; now
1t is the Arctic Ocean, and the North
Pole is the ignis fatuous which leads

Boss Warren moved that Q commit
tee of fifteen members be appointed
by the chair, to select ten delegates
to the Republican Territorial Con-
vention to be held at BcZeman. The
motion prevailed. The game was now
up and the kickers were cooked. And
this was all done before q permanent

main business of the convention for

adoption of this motion, taken out OF

object Of the motion was to prevent q
kicker from naming and voting for q

vention. One man named q commit
tee of fifteen. This comm ttee
named the ten delegates and the ten
delegates were endorsed by the
convention with . rush. A kick

A CUSTER COUNTY SENSA-
TON.

It appears from press dispatches
that Custer county has not yet heard
the lasl of its old County Commits
sioners' matter. It will Oe remem
bered that Steve Taylor was County
Clerk at the time Hubbell and Leb-
cher were commissioners. After he
had been dispossessed of the office by
the act of the last legislature he went
to Mexico and engaged in business.
1t seems his presence was wanted
in Custer County and detectives
were placed upon his track to arrest,
him. Taylor came over the line in,
to Texas a few DAYS ago and was
picked up the officers. While the
latter were in st. Paul On their way
to Miles City with their prisoner
they were, at the instance of Lebcher,
served with a writ of h1beas corps.
They refused to recognize it and
took the train for home with Taylor.
AT Brainerd, Minnesota, the officers
were arrested on q telegram from
the Sheriff at st. Paul for contemrt
of court, and taken back to st. Paul
1t is charged that the arrest of the
officers was to prevent the appear
ance of Taylor at the present term of
court at Miles City. At last advices
it was thought the officers would be
able to arrange the matter to the
satisfaction of the st. Paul court and
would lie permitted to proceed to
Custer County with their prisoner.
There is much excitement at Miles
City over the matter, and consider
able speculation is INDUCED III con-
corning the development which will
be made when Taylor shall be
brought upon the witness stand.

A Blind Mans Free Music.
New York Sun.1

I often put my ear to the trunk of
a sapling for the p easure Of listening
to q music that Is beyond description
beautiful; and last summer, I learned
to tell an oak from q maple, a pine
from a hickory, and so on, by the
music of each, for each has its own
peculiar melody and pulsation. I
could almost write a book on the sub
ject now; but I mean to take another
to it if I should live 80 long.
The white pine has a low, soft swell
ling, continuous, pulse. which.
though monotonouls, of course, when
listened to for more than a few mo-
ments. possesses a cadence and a
rythm such as q practical elocution-
ist gives. 'Che oak, on the other
hand, has an abrupt, peculiar, expio-
note, of very short pulsation,
while the maple gives a smooth, SLOW
sonorons movement, the wave of
which is as long IS that of the pine,
but has less swell, and is less distinct
iy separated from Its predecessor and
successor. Oh, I could lecture an
hour on the music of trees, and never
tell you half of the beautiful things
they have revealed to me.

A Sensible Jury.

A man had met a girl in a lonely
place and forcibly kissed her. She
was terribly indignant, and had him
arrested. She gave an account on the
witness stand of how he gazed at her
intentIy, and then, suddenly throw
ing his arms around her, imprinted
a kiss upon her lips. The prisoner
made no defense, and the Jury was
expected to promptly convict him of
assault. THE j.jjury would like to
ask the y-y-ytung lady two ques-
tions," said the foreman. The Judge
consented, and she went up on the
stand.
"D-d-did you wear the ~jj.jersey
that you've got on now?"
"Yes,sir," was the demure reply.
IAnd w,w-was your h-h-hair
Yes, sir"
