A FEW WORDS WITH YOU.

After mature consideration, we have
deemed it best as a matter of prudence
to discontinue the Daily Chronicle for
a while, at least. We hope, however,
that the arrangement will not be per-
permanent. There are times in every
business when it is necessary to use
economy when it is necessary, perhaps,
to reduce the force of workmen when it
becomes necessary to discontinue GER
tain line of goods, etc. This we have
done. We have reduced our working
force; we place it on such a basis as to
make sure that the Chronicle will re-
main an institution of Gallatin County.
No one can regret more than we, the
necessity, as it appears to US, of discon-
tinulng the Daily, and we trust no one
will consider it in the light of a failure.
1t is precaution to prevent just such a
result. When the times and the bust
ness, or the demands of business men
call for it, We shall resume it. VERY
THE IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY OF A
PAPER, AND REGARD THEIR BUSINESS TRAN
sACrIoNs WITH 1T IN A PURELY PERSONAL
SENSE, whereas the existence of it in
community helps them even insensibly.
To withdraw an advertisement or patron
age from it, because time are little dull,
is mistaken notion of economy. In
spirit of public enterprise, your home
paper should be encouraged. 1t adver-
tises your country in way which can
not otherwise be done. Its influence is
wide and tar reaching. 1t is certain and
sure that the one who does not adver-
tise, cannot do the business of one who
does. Every successful business man
realizes this fact, and we make bold to
say, that notwithstanding the results may
not be apparent, that advertising does
pay. In fact nothing which goes into
paper, but is scanned by curious eyes, and
the firm who keeps themselves before
the public, becomes household word,
and it is but natural for one to seek them
out when having occasion to want any
thing they advertise. To those who are
not advertising, we say you are making
a mistake. You are not only doing your
self an injustice, but you are Gripping
an industry calculated to do your county
more good than you can estimate. Your
home paper demands your support, and
should have it.

Fourth Of July.

The mass meeting last night demon
strated the fact that we will have an old
time fourth of July celebration. The
various committees heretofore appointed
made their reports, and while not COM
plete, was sufficient to demonstrate that
they had laid good groundwork. The
committee on finance had already Sc
cured about $500, and there are a great
many whom they did not see. The pro-
gramme will doubtless be procession
through the principal streets with car
of State with young ladies representing
the States and Territories, vehicles rep
resenting the different branches of trade
with carriages, and the band will be en-
gagged and discourse music during the
day. The procession will end at grove
within the city limits, where the Declare
ton of Independence will be read, and
an Grafton be delivered, and then all
join IN a regular picnic. Everybody is
invited, both town and county, and are
also invited to come with basket of
provisions. In the evening there will be
grand display of fireworks, as the
largest portion of the money raised will
be devoted to the purchase of the best
kind. Later on in the evening the band
will give a grand ball to wind up the
evening. We trust our citizens will vie
with one another to make the occasion
one of interest and pleasure and make it
a grand success.

Col. w. F. Sanders has shown his
handiwork in the platform of the Repub-
lican party just made at Chicago, in hav-
ing inserted in that platform, that here
after appointments to Offices in the Ter
ritories, shall be made from bona fde
residents of the Territories. So far, so
good, and we hope ifthat party continues
in power to see that part of the platform
carried out, although as rule platforms
are no more than glittering generalities.
The present platform is an entire depart
ure in many particulars from the practice
of the Republican party, and we can only
believe it was gotten up to please the
popular mind, but without any design to
carry out its provisions. They have
evidently seen the drift of publicopinion
and have been driven, as it were, to the
adoption of many things which, as We
said is contrary to their practic hereto
fore. We shall take occasion soon to re-
view 1t at more length. We trust that
our delegates to Chicago, ifthey have
anything to say will do as well as Col.
Sanders, and see that the Democratic
party pledges itself to carry out the same
idea and do away with the vicious prac-
tice of territorial appointments.

The die is cast and the slogan of the
Republican party will be Blaine and Lo-
gan. There can be no question that in
some quarters this ticket will awaken a
great deal of enthusiasm, but with the
solid business men, the nomination
will fall like wet blanket; the addition
of Logan adds no strength to the ticket.
The nominees are from states assuredly
Republican and will awaken but little
enthusiasm outside of those states. lii
our opinion New York has been placed
out of the category of doubtful states and
will as certainly 60 Democratic. with Til
den as it's standard bearer, as that the
sun will shine ON election day. In our
opinion the Democrats haye never had
such an opportunity, and it remains to be
seen whether they will take advantage
fit. The cry all along the line is for
the old ticket, and the indications are
that it will receive an almost unanimous
endorsement. Admitting it as fact that
the old ticket will be brought out it will
awaken a great deal of enthusiasm, and
the campaign will be lively. Blaine will
make dashing fight, but unlike most of
his fights, instead of being aggressive, it
will be defensive. When the excitement
and enthusiasm of his nomination has
cabled off the Republicans will realize
that they have not made wise nomina-
ton. The only eclat which Blaine has
ever gained was when he was Speaker in
congress, brlstling with fights and the
element suited him, but when he was
transferred to the senate chamber
among the cool heads and the wise and
conservative statesmen he was pigmy.
"Pigmies perched on Alps" are pigmies
still, and so it will be with Blaine. We
have no fears however that ne will ever
be more than the nominee, he has been
unfortunate several times in not securing
the nomination when success was posi-
BILE, but he is still unfortunate in receiv-
ing it when defeat is certain. There will
be no divided democracy this year, but
an united phalanx determined to place
the man at the head of this government
who was cheated out of we'll earned
victory. No man who reads the signs of
the times can doubt what united Demo-
cracy means. It is the people in their
majesty.

Correspondence.
Cooke CRY, May 2sth, 1884

Cooke CRY, May 2sth, 1884.
Perhaps a few items from this camp
would be interesting to the readers of
the CHRONICLE, thought 1 would drop
you few lines.
One who has been absent all winter
would scarcely recognize the place be-
cause of the many large and commodious
buildings erected during the past winter,
but the greatest sign of improvement is
to see the miners packing their proyi-
sions and tools out to their claims on
Henderson, Miller and Sheep Mountains.
This is done by packing on their backs,
or using hand sled or sheboygan. This
mode of conveyance affords very good
exercise. Send some of your invalids up
to try it, it beats the Arkansas Hot
Springs, DR.. Hunters or White Sulphur
Springs. After a day of this exercise
you can degest Cooke City pie, which
is made by usingiron carbonates, chloride
of lead and stove lids, then make crust
of Bessemer steel and rivit it together
with wrought iron rivets, and you have
the thing complete, besides you have
exquisite fun. Talk about your skating
rink, they are not circumstance to our
snow shoes. You may get on an honest
looking pair of snow shoes that have
been made out of the same tree and pack
yourself with camp kettles and tin plates
and start across the country and every
thing goes swimmingly until you strike
place that the shade has kept the snow
from melting, then it is curious what an
inclination your snow shoes have to part
company. One of them will make bee
line for Panama and the other for the
top of Mt. Fairweather in Alaska.
The result is that you find yourself sit
ting in snow bank with feelings easier
imagined than described. You will first
feel around to see if you have smashed
tin plate or that you have smashed the
crystal of your watch, then with a kind
of innocent look like duck, looking for
thunder, you will begin looking for your
other foot.
Tut laying nonsense aside, We are
bound to show up better prospects this
season than ever before. Geo. Fisher is
taking out some high grade ore from the |
Bunker Hill, which would make a CAPT.
tali>t 60 to the bottom of the till, and |
many more are doing the same thing. In
fact the boys are determined to show
enough ore in sight to cause some COM
pany to put up smelter that will not
freeze up every white frost that comes.

HONORs TO THE SECOND.

On the occasion of the departure from
our midst of the command Of the Second
regiment of cavalry, the occasion will,
and ought to be, marked with the due
appreciation of the debt the citizens of
the Gallatin valley owe to this body of
cavalry, not alone for their protection in
times that looked dark, when the people
of the valley and the mountains answer
ed back to these soldier friends the battle
cry to the hordes Of savages that ravish-
ed this country in the past. but to the
endearing ties that have bound soldier
and citizen, through longe years of asso-
citation and fellowship in one bond of
friendship. Words are idle at such q
time. when heart reads heart, and there
can be no Interpretation.
For success, noble daring, grand
achievements, and reputation honestly
earned and honorably acquired, the
Second regiment of cavalry stands
forth 80 prominent that all others,
who by political prestige and standing
assisted by the citizens in imminent
danger and who took the honors to them
selves and thereby won cheaply earned
laurels- when compared with our hon
ored brigade, are lost in the dim outlines
of the back ground. =
Noble, true-hearted men and officers,
they never placed stain on their colors,
which wave triumphantly, concious that
"ev ever faced the enemy.

Women Workers.

The ladies Of the Presbyterian church
will, on Saturday, June 2lst, furnish
lunches, ice cream and strawberries in
the building one door east of l.. S. Will
son & Co.'S. store. The reputation the
ladies of Bozeman have of doing every
thing they attempt SO well and satisfac-
torily, commends them to the patronage
of all. They have accomplished a great
deal of good and have by untiring efforts
contributed to so many good causes that
they deserve all encouragement. Money
for the accomplishment of good deeds
secured in the manner they adopt does
not fall heavily on the community, and
besides you get an equivalent. It is in
no sense donation to their cause. You
get value received, and can spend a
pleasant evening. Men would not work
half SO hard as they, even for money,
while theirs is purely labor of love.
All honor to these noble women.

Second Cavalry.

The Second cavalry, which passed
through Bozeman to-day, is so closely
allied to and connected with the history
Of Montana that it was not surprising
that our citizens turned out en- masse to
do them honor as they filed through
Main street on their long march to the
far west. Particularly does eastern Mon
tana realize that they have been an i'm
portant factor in opening up and making
possible the occupation and settlement Of
the vast extent of country between here
and Bismarck.
There are hundreds now living in
Bozeman who lived here when it was on
the frontier-when the Second cavalry
was barrier between them and hos
tile foe, who could at any time-if not for
them have invaded this valley and
wiped its sparse settlement out of exist
ence. It was the Second cavalry who
rescued that brave band at Fort Pease,
who were trying to make Judgment in
the Yellowstone country. It was the
Second which retrieved the disasters fol
lowing the Custer massacre. 1t was the
Second which finally brought Chief Jo-
seph to bay aud caused him to surrender,
after he had been pursued by Howard
through Montana; indeed, they have oc-
cupied a conspicuous figure in Montana
for fifteen years, and we cannot but re-
gard them as part of Montana.
There are q host of officers in the
Second whose memories will be kept
green in our hearts, and we were more
than pleased to show them this morning
q token of our affections. Duty has called
them to other fields and it is a SOL
dier's highest duty to obey, but if we
mistake not there are many who will
yet recount with pardonable pride the
history of their achievements by flood
and field upon the soil of Montana, now
consecrated by the blood of some of its
bravest officers, but they have gone out
from among us and left but regrets.
The demonstration of to day was
heartfelt and sincere. A large process
sion in carriages, on horseback, and on
foot, with banners flying and drums
escorted them to the confines of
the city. The mayor delivered a short
address. Three cheers were given for
the Second cavalry and in response three
cheers for the citizens of Bozeman.
Hasty farewells were spoken, commands
given, and the Second cavalry filed away
on their long march, and the book is
closed over their history here. May
they in their new fields add fresh laurels
to their fame. Montanians will watch
with pride their successes and will mourn
any of their misfortunes. It is
only second in name, but first in our
hearts.

The territory of Montana against John
Seymore occupied the attention of the
district court this noon. The trial has
been pending for two years and the dis
trict attorney, Andrew Burleigh, Esq,
was anxious to get it of the docket. So
long delay has resulted in losing all the
witnesses for the prosecution that knew
anything about the facts. The defend
ant was indicted for stealing heifer calf,
but it turns out that the property is Of
the opposite persuasion. Bob told his
client to hang on to the Calls ears and it
would pull him through-and the result
proves true the prediction.

fHE CHICAGO CONVENTION.


The Republican convention in session
at Chicago, Illinois, resembles the like
political body Of four years ago. Then it
was that Grant and Blaine who were in
the lead, each backedby hosts of partizan
friends in bitter contest for the suprem-
acy. Grant and Blaine gained little
after the preliminary ballots, but their
friends stood firm. The opposition to
both gradually united and Garfield was
nominated. But here the similarity
ends and progressive movement is ex-
hibited in this that the party has once
again nominated a white horse. Con-
scious of their defeat, which is to take
place next fall, they have preferred dying
under the leadership of the light of their
party politician, James G. Blaine.

The firemen were out Last night for a
preliminary drill. The boys are rusty,
but the makeup of the company prom
Uses much when properly drilled. With
their splendid equipment, costing $4,000,
they will quell many fire. It is one
thing to tell how fire should be put out
and an entirely different thing to work
out the problem when the fire actually
happens. Strict attention to duty and
orders Of superior officers, presence of

Accident to q Freight Tram.

Sunday last while the east bound
freight was coming through the canyon
of the Missouri, a few miles below Gala
tin City, the embankment gave way and
the whole train was precipatated into
the river with the exception of one car.
The engineer came near losing his life,
but after floating down the river for some
distance he was rescued We have not
learned the extent of the damage, but it
was considerable No lives were lost,
but good deal of freight has been dam
aged, and it will take some time to get
the cars out of the water. The water is
now very high, but it is thought it will
not get any higher. In many places the
track is laid upon rock and earth which
has been dumped into the river bed and
high water has been steadily undernlin-
ing it in places.
