IT is an ill wind that blows nobody
good. The Texas fever scare will result
greatly to the detriment of the stock
men Of the southwest, as their stock
will be quarantined, if, indeed, it is per-
mitted to enter the eastern markets at
all. Should there be a further and con
tinued spread of the disease, it will be
disastrous to the range stock interests in
the south, shutting them out from the
great northern markets, and the result
will be an increased demand for Mon
tana beef at advanced prices We are
by nc mean rejoicing over the misfor-
tune that has overtaken our neighbors,
but as it has come it is we'll that their
loss is in some measure recompensed by
others gain. Another thought that
presents itself in this connection is the
superiority of Montana as a stock coun-
try. The herds of Montana are never
decimated by disease Of any kind Mon
tana cattle were never ~quarantined /;
they are not killed off by drouths, and
the per cent. of winter losses is as low
as anywhere in the west, if not lower;
no better range beeves enter the eastern
markets nor command higher prices.
In other words, Montana is the greatest
stock country in the world.

AT Miles City the rates of insurance
have been increased three per cent,
making them now from six to ten per
cent. on the best risks in the town.
When we remember that the average
rate of insurance in this city is scarcely
more than one and a half per cent, the
advantages Of a well organized fire de-
partment, numerous brick buildings, in
q measure fire-proof, and the precautions
resulting from our fire ordinance, must
be apparent to all. The difference be-
tween the rates Of insurance at Miles
City and Fort Benton is greater thar
the tax levied by this city-in other
words, city taxes and insurance at Fort
Benton are no as great as insurance
MILES City.

Mr.. BELcHER, the Canadian Pacific

Mr.. BELCHER, the Canadian Pacific
representative, is en- route to the city
from Helena. He states in a letter re-
ceived by n of our citizens yesterday
that he had already arranged for the
shipment of 5000 head east by his road
and expected to make additional con-
tracts. This shows that our stockmen
appreciate the advantages Of a northern
route, and it is certainly an encouraging
business for that road the first season.
It will present forcibly to the manage
ment of the road the Importance Of Sc
curing the business of northern Mon
tana and is certain 10 hasten the con-
struction of the Canadian Pacific branch
to this city. We will not be surprised
to see this proposed railroad line under
construction early next season.

In Favor of Blame and Logan.

NEW YORK, July 28.-Chickering hall
was crowded at the meeting of Irish
born citizens tonight who favor the
election Of Blaine and Logan. Austin
u. Ford was chosen chairman, and, on
taking the chair, said that it was a
strange sight to see three thousand Irish
Americans assembled in New York city
to indorse the nominees of the republic
can party.
The first speaker was Rev. George w.
Pepper, of Ohio, who said they had
come together tonight to defeat the can
didate that was supported by the press
of England. The republican party had
always been opposed by the English
government, whose ~sympathies were
with the democrats. The republican
party was in favor of personal liberty
and protection of labor, and the demo-
cratic doctrine of free trade had crippled
every country into which it had been
introduced. He predicted that in No
vember next Cleveland would be buried
so deep that the sound of Gabriel's
trumpet would never reach him, for not
one in ten Irishmen in Ohio would sup
port Cleveland, and the Catholics there
were all opposed to him.
Henry Clay Baird was the next speak
er. He said the only way to down In
gland was to cripple her industries, and
this could be done by Keeping the re-
publican party in power.
Judge Boorman, Of Iowa, said he had
come 1,400 miles to be present at the
meeting. The democrats had said for
forty years that because they were Irish
they must vote the democratic ticket.
It was now time for them to say they
would vote the republican ticket, and
they would.
The other speakers were p. p. Barry,
of Illinois, and Capt. O'Meagher Con
don, of Washington city.
Circulars were distributed setting forth
the reasons why Cleveland should not
be supported by the w~orkingmen.

EHE Health commissioner of Chicago
Says hat as long as the infected cattle
are killed within twelve hours after
their arrival in town there is no danger
of the disease spreading. It would be
worse if the cattle were shipped off to
fatten, for there would be a possibility
then that the disease would spread.
The commissions says it was we'll that
the infected cattle were brought to Chi
cago instead of being stopped along on
the prairie or in small villages, as here
the suspected animals can be killed and
carried off to big rendering establish
ments. Only Kansas City and Chicago
have such facilities for disposing of sick
cattle without danger. There is no oc-
casion whatever, the commissioner
states, for the public at large to feel atall
alarmed.

The Peck Line Boats.

OMAHA, July 24.-The claim of Nc
Lame q McNeeder and Yankton against
the steamers Gen. Meade, Gen. Terry
and Nellie Peck, tor supplies furnished
the Northwestern Transportation COM
pany, has been dismissed by Judge
Brewer, of the United States circuit
court. The boats were llbeled by Nc
Lame & McNeeder over a year ago, and
have been tied up at Covington, Neb.,
ever since, awaiting a decision. This
summer the Gen. Meade was sold under
bond to Mrs. Nellie Peck, of Keokuk,
Ia, and by her resold to St. Louis par
ties. Upon the receipt of Judge Brew
er's order the boat was released. and
passed down the river tonight for st.
Louis. She is light, the inspectors re-
fusing to grant a loading permit. The
Gen. Meade will be used on the lower
river, while the Terry will be run be-
tween Yankton and Bismarck. The
Nellie Peck was sold by United States
Marshal Allen yesterday to Mrs. Nellie
Peck, who will have the boilers and ma
chinery transferred to another hull.

The great value of water route trans
portation to a town or city has just been
neatly demonstrated at Winnipeg, Man
itoba. Trouble arose between the mer-
chants of that town and the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company on account of
excessive freight charges from the boun-
Diary line to Winnipeg, as well as Jun
necessary delays in the shipment Of
goods. An appeal was made to the rail-
road management for a lower tariff and
speedy transit, but no attention was
paid to these demands. The policy of
the Canadian Pacific was to embarrass
those shipping over the Manitoba, in
order that it might turn the northern
business over it's own eastern lines and
connections. The Winnipeg merchants,
however, had a way of getting even, and
they quickly resorted to it. Between
st. Vincent, on the boundary line, and
Winnipeg is a water way, and a line of
boats sufficient to transact the business
was at once put On, which delivered
LuCll l1C1SuU dU a. lOWtI IdJC UudIa ever
before. In less than a week the railroad
was ready to accept such terms as the
triumphant dealers Of Winnipeg wished
to dictate. They now get a favorable
freight rate and their shipments are sent
through as fast as the iron horse can take
them. The Red river, natures high
way, where mo one owns the track
and pools won't always work, ena-
bled Winnipeg to win the fight and bring
to her feet SO great and powerful a cor
poration as the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road company. Fort Benton's position
at the head Of navigation on the Mis-
souri, river gives her the same supremacy
over every other town in the territory,
and with other advantages, insures for
her a great commercial future. Rail
roads cannot discriminate and pools will
be poWerless against Fort Benton as long
as the Missouri river flows by her door.

THERE has been some indefinite talk
among a few republicans, and probably
some democrats, about putting an sin
DEPENDENT or "people'sv ticket in the
field this year, instead of a straight re-
publican ticket. We are pleased to say
that the proposition has but few sup
porters. Such a course Of procedure
would simply result in party disorgani-
zation, and besides it would not likely
accomplish the ends sought. Success
can be achieved as well, if at all, by
placing in the field q ticket that is
thoroughly and unquestionably repub-
lican, and particularly SO when there is
the very best of material from which to
select the candidates. Those democrats
who are tired of democratic rule in Cho-
teau county-and there are many Of
them-Will a readily vote for a good
mar on a straight republican ticket as
if it were a ''mongrel" affair, and the
anne result can thus be accomplished,
while the party organization and eff
cheney remain intact. This, it seems to
us, is the proper course, and we have no
doubt it will be followed.

In the congressional districts the result is
no less satisfactory, every Republican mem
Der being elected by increased malorities, IN
most cases exceeding even their own hopes

the First district from the ~thirty-one pre-

of 749. This is but about on~e-quarter of the
number of polling places in the district, and
with the comparative ratio of majority, and
the increase, Mr.. Whites majority might
he placed at 8, 900; but the returns from the
Democratic strongholds, in Winona and the

Mr.. Wakeield's majority bids fair to reach
1000, with the ratio of gains, that gentle

st. Augustine, Florida, claims to be

The claim is disputed by some Of the
towns in the territory acquired from
Mexico. In order TO go as far back as
possible, however, the people of st,
Augustine have determined to celebrate
the landing at that part of the Florida
coast of Ponce de Leon oven three hun
bred and seventy years ago. This an
tedates the actual settlement of the place
by the Spaniards in 1865 about fifty
years. The 9th of March, 1885, ha:
been fixed upon as the anniversary
