A Good Man.

1t is understood that the friends of
Prof. Swallow, the editor of the Helena
Independent, will make a strenuous
effort to secure for him the appointment
Of chief assayer of the mint located at
the territorial capital of Montana. The
appointment of this experienced geolog-
list to this important trust would be an
act in the interest of the public service.
He has had ripe experience as geologist
of the state of Missouri and is emf
nently well qualified for assayer. His
appointment would be of great adyan-
tage to the rich, prosperous and enter
prlsing territory of Montana, as he is
now thoroughly identified with the de-
velooment of the resources of the terri
tory. Besides it would he in harmony
with the platform of the party which is
pledged to make appointments from
within the territory Russell Harrison
son Of the senator from Indiana, is the
present incumbent.-St. Paul Globe.

Offices" is strictly in accordance with the
platform of the last Democratic National
Convention. 1t gives us pleasure to
heartily endorse the suggestion of the
Globe and trust that Prof. Swallows
eminent qualifications for this position
will entitle the application to an early
consideration and that his appointment
will follow at an early day

Jail Delivery at Helena.

On Wednesday six prisoners confined
in the county Jail at Helena, bound the
iailor and escaped. Among the number
we're Edmundson of the Con Murphy
gang and and Frank Ashton, both we'll
known in Bohemian. The Governor at
once offered reward of $1,000 for the
delivery Of Edmunson to the officers and
late reports inform US that he has been
captured. Ashton in company with
another prisoner started towards Ctarri-
son and were apprehended next day by
Sheriff Churchill, just as they we're
about to board the through Northern
Pacific train. Churchill followed Ashton
across field, ordering him TO halt. Fail
ing in this, he fired five shots from his
revolver, the last taking effect. Ash

It's an Ill Wind, etc.

The heavy snow in Oregon this season
will result in an increase in the winter
wheat yield, it is estimated by the st.
Paul Globe. of % per cent. Although no
estimates have yet been made for Cali
fornia, there will doubtless be an in
creased yield in that great wheat pro-
ducing state. just what effect the
season will have on Minnesota and
Dakota wheat production cannot as yet
even be estimated, as no seeding has been
done, these being the great spring wheat
producing section of the country. 1t is
safe to say however, that the intense
freezing to which the soil has been sub
iected will have a tendency to mellow
the ground and place it in good condition
for seeding, and as rule such steady
cold winter weather is followed by an
early break up and favorable crop

general war in the East shall be realized
there will be but little danger of over

The Charter Amend ments.

At meeting of the City Council three
weeks since several amendments to the
City charter were agreed upon, drafted
and sent to Helena for legislative action.
One gives the veto power to the Mayor;
another makes the Offices Of the city
marshal and clerk appointiye, the third
allows the city to incur an Indebtedness
of $4,000 instead of $4,000; tho fourth
authorizes the levying of TWO mills on
each dollar for protection agrinst fire,
and the fifth repeats the clause in Article
5, section 25 limiting the city license to
one:fourth the license required to be
paid by the statutes of the Territory for
like business.
OF this meeting due notice was given
and the public requested to attend.
through the papers. Many vigorously
claim that they did not see the notice
and that the council endeayored to con-
cea1 their action (another illustration re-
commencing the publication Of council
proceedings) This phase of the matter
hiss led to unjust and unnecessary hard
feelings and resulted IN the forwarding
of petition ON Thursday to the legisla-
turc asking that no action he taken on
the amendments. Before sending it.
however, Mayor Bogert was allowed to
place therein suggestion to the effect
that the city voters should be privileged
to vote on the amendments. 1t is to be
regretted that this matter, evolved no
doubt from purely beneficial motives
suggested after two years experience
with municipality, shOnld meet with
opposition so apparent. The veto power,
to us, is matter of very inconsiderate
consequence, as the twO-th ird vote Of the
council will pass any measure, however
hostile the mayor may be TO it. In near
ly every city the Offices Of Marshal and
Clerk are made appointive and in many
instances it proves wholesome incenta-
tive to an active discharge Of duties.
The increase of the city's indebtness is
an absolute necessity. The city needs
water works, to supply our business
places with pure water and to supply a
proper and adequate means for the ex-
tinguishment of fires. If the city pro-
vides MS with water, it ca n be OBTAINED
for use at reasonable prices if private
corporation obtains this valuable fran
chise it will be lifelong regret. The
repeal of Section 20, as we understand
the amendment, is calculated to equalize
the city taxes, compelling those who dc
a large wholesale business to pay a
license accordingly and not make each
and every man engaging in the same Dus.
