The Report of Cattle for Montana
Being Guaranteed False.
For the past week or two news has been
circulated throughout the country that
nearly every consignment of cattle to Mon
tana was quarantined at Mandan. The
rumor which was spread was originated
with the evident intention Of drawing the
cattle to some other grazing grounds, and is
false in every detail. However, it has had
the result intended, for number OF large
cattle growers, who have been shipping
four and five hundred head per day from
Minnesota transfer, are holding back until
more reliable information can be had.
The Northern Pacific company has under
taken to investigate the matter, and yes
terday word was received at the office
stating that not one shipment was
quarantined, and that the rumor
originated from the holding OF
number of cattle by shipper himself,
which were bound to Billings. The cattle
were shipped by Miller Bros. of Sibley,
Ia, and when they arrived at Mandan they
were found to be very weak, and MI. Miller
decided to keep them there for some time
and feed them, and besides they were not
branded properly and he thought to avail
himself of the opportunity. Cattle men
are in no danger of having their cattle
qnarantined if they have certificate of
health from veterinary surgeon from
where the cattle were shipped.

RIEL,S INSANITY.

While there is a general disbelief of RIEL's
insanity in this section, as well as in Can
ada, and the impression prevails that it is
shrewd dodge on the part of the rebel leader
to evade punishment, the Washington Even
ing Star is authority for stating that REL
is insane and has been SO for some time.
The Star says that RIEL spent some months
in Washington several years ago, and that
it was during his sojourn there that his in
sanity developed itself. A gentleman who
is well informed in regard to RIEL's history
assures the Star that there can be no doubt
about the matter. Maj. MoLLETT Of Wash
ington, it is stated, is the gentleman who
once took RIEL to an insane asylum. This
will be gratifying intelligence to the Do
minion government, for, in its perplexity
to know what disposition to make of the
rebel chieftain, no more fortunate opening
for an escape from its dilemma could pre-
sent itself than to have an excuse to shut
him up in an insane asylum for life.

PoUNDMAKER WANTS PEACE.

PoUNDMAKER, having stocked the tepee
larder with the fruits of his recent raid on a
supply train, has..released the captive team
sters and calls for terms. Having gorged
himself he is like the bear, wants to be let
alone But the fact is he would hardly
have left his reservation on raiding eXpe-
dition unless RIEL had succeeded, had it not
been for the ill-advised action OF Col. OTTER
in making war upon him.
The true policy for the government to
pursue was to overawe the Indians while
MIDDLETON was subduing the breeds, then
they would not have been confronted by the
menace of an Indian uprising. And even
now, by the exercise of a little diplomacy
and showing of force, the peril OF general
uprising of redskins may be averted by the
government. PoUNDMAKER's conciliatory
advances should now be met in friendly
spirit. Cancellation will be more effective
than policy of coercion. Ii the Indians
are forced to fight they will be much more
formidable to cope with than the breeds.
Numerically they are stronger than the
troops now in the field that could be made
available against them. And they are fully
as well armed and have better knowledge
of the country than the troops, and now
that grass has come and the foliage will
soon be dense, they can live out OF doors
comfortably and Turk in ambush for their
enemies and make an expedition against
them extremely hazardous. Besides they
will ravage all of the settlements in the
Saskatchewan and other valleys and
massacre all who are so unfortunate as to
fall into their hands with a reckless disre-
gard of sex or age. The horrors OF an
Indian war ought to be evaded by the ex-
ercise of cool and dispassionate judgment.
One condition should be eXacted, however,
and that is the fiends who have been guilty
of torturing prisoners should be punished.
It would exercise wholesome discipline
for the future.

There are those who will perhaps see in
the dramatic school which VICTOR HUGO
founded that which rejects the element OF
intellectually and replaces 1t by emotion
the beginning of the modern French play.
While it is the product. of an emotional or
romantic system, it does not follow that the
modern French drama is the logical result
of HUGo's dramatic romanticism. Be that
as it may, he will be remembered for the
brilliancy of his genius in connection with
the sweetness of his nature. He will live
in history as great and good man, one
who was the unselfish friend of all man.

The Lumber Trade.

Special to the Globe.
ST. Louis, No., May ga large local
lumber dealer, just from the North, said
to-day in reference to prospects for the
seasons trade: ''Most of the drives on the
Mississippi tributaries are coming along
satisfactorily, though there has been but
little rain and the disappearance of snow
was very gradual. All the principal drives
will come out all right, however. The
drives on Tamaroa and Moose, which con-
tain about Is, 600, 600 feet, are probably
hung up for the season. But favorable re-
port is received from the west branch of the
Rum usually the most treacherous stream
of the lot and the Pine river drive is COM
ing in good shape Every log hung up on
the Mississippi means shortage in the stock
of logs, which will result in the shutting
down OF the mills just SO much
earlier. The fact becomes more and more
realized that every log that gets into the
main river will be sawed out before the end
of the usual saving season, and that next
spring it will be impossible for the
mills to start earlier than June
1, because there will be no
logs that can be got to the mills before
that time. Under these circumstances no
pains will be spared to get every log that it
is possible to get, and obstinate difficulties,
should they occur, will be persistently
fought"

BOYNTON,s JOKE.

When PAUL BOYNToN, the noted swim
mer, sought a little free advertising by
swimming to the British warship Garnet,
to the vessel a mock torpedo, he probably
did not know that if it had been followed to
logical result his humorous act would have
cost him his life. If the sentry on watch had
performed his duty by shooting BOYNToN
he would have received the commentator
of his government and the gratitude of the
American people who are anxious to get
rid of some of the supernumerary fools with
which they are afflicted. But being human
the sentinel refrained and gave the alarm to
the officer of the watch The lieutenant on
duty, with more humanity than sense OF
discipline, dispatched the Garnet's launch,
under command of midshipman, with
a file of marines to arrest the joker. Of
course BoYNToN informed them that he
was at home and they were in foreign
waters and their authority was at an end.
With nothing better to be done the
officers of the Garnet concluded to laugh
off the whole business as sample OF Amer
lean lfumor. The admiral commanding the
British North Atlantic squadron regards it
in more serious light, and has ordered
court-martial to try the lieutenant who
was in charge of the watch and the sentry
who hung fire, upon charge of relaxing
war discipline, in that they failed to kill
BoYNToN when they found him in the water
un der the bow of the vessel. 1t, moreover.
looks as if the British government was de-
termined to seize upon this incident for ask
ing for settlement of another principle of
law, namely, the right of armed vessels in
foreign waters in times of peace. 1t is a
very nice question to determine now where
our point of vigilance on behalf of a
stranger is to cease and his own to begin,
and how far the vessel of a neutral power
in our waters is to be given the right to
protect herself by Selling suspicious per-
sons. These are new questions, and if
BoYNToN's freak leads to an amicable and
satisfactory adjustment of them there will
be one fool who has not lived in vain.

Although yesterday was another quiet day
at the stock exchange the market was strong
all day and closed with gain for the active
list of %@K per cent. The strength of the
market was due in some measure to reports
that had been circulated that the Eastern
trunk lines had come to an agreement and
that rates were to be restored at once. Lake
Shore was decidedly strong. The Pacific Mail

have settled their difficulties by the acceptance

TELEGRAPH LEGISLATION.

The Illinois senate by vote of "a to 5
passed bill requiring all telegraph COM
panies doing business in the state to make
sworn reports of their gross earnings every
year to the AUDITOR to take out licenses and
to pay into the state treasury 3 per cent. Of
their annual gross earnings. Another bill
also passed almost unanimously by the
senate forbids telephone companies from
charging more than So per month when one
telephone is used and $2.5O each when
more than one is used, and fixing the charg-
ing for telephone messages from one town
to another at 10 cents. There is evidently
an intention On the part of the telegraph
and telephone companies to resist the pas
sage Of these laws through the lower house
of the legislature. If, however, Illinois
succeeds in enforcing both measures it will
be but short time before all the states will
follow in the same direction. 1t has come
to be understood that telegraph and tele-
phone corporations need as muchlegislative
control as the railways do.

To-day there is peace in Europe. The

evoked by the fat of SHAKESPEARE or of

Probably the greatest of all his works was

FALsIFYING THE RECORD.

''The silver act is Democratic from be-
ginning to end," says the Pioneer Press
in weak attempt to make merry over the
supposed perplexities of the silver question.
Those who make assertions of this kind
should have better memories. AS mat
ter of record, the Pioneer Press should
know that the BLAND bill passed the house
Nov. 5, 1878, by a vote of 1853 to 81. The
majority included leading Republicans such
as CALKINs, HUBBELL, KEIFER, KELLEY,
PACHECo and AMOS TOWNSEND. In the
senate, then under Republican control, the
vote was 4S to 81, the majority including
both the CAMERoNs and Messrs. MCMIL-
Ian and WINDOW, while in the negative
were Senators BARNUM, BAYARD, KER-
NAN and LAMAR, all Democrats. Both
Senators BAYARD and HERMAN made
strong speeches against the bill, which was
passed over President HAYES veto by 1875
to 70 in the house and 46 to 10 in the
senate. The silver bill was by no means
a party measure. 1t is criminal of the
Pioneer Press to make gloomy predictions
solely to crafty its party malice. The
signal manner in which the Republican
campaign predictions of general ruin have
been falsified should serve as warning to
our gloomy contemporary.
