CURRENT COMMENT.

Has Governor Carpenter left the Ter
ritory to remain away permanently 1t
looks so, and in the language of the Vir-
ginia City Madisonian, "who cares Pr
Miner.
| We challenge the vide, wide world to
produce checker gang of men than
may be found in Helena, the temporary
capital of this Territory. They are 80
greedy that they want every Govern
ment position from Governor down to
U. S. -pelter.-Dlllon Tribune,
Last week, D. w. Ringer, of Miles
City, purchased o. c. Whitney's entire
band of horses, numbering something
over one hundred head Mr.. Ringer
left for Miles City yesterday. He will
drive tn band to the Yellowstone valley
early in May.
Husbandman: Some Billings parties
shipped fifty head of small broke horses
from Townsend last week They we're
purchased of the Missouri valley farm
ers at from $50 to $55per head. These
animals are to be used for COW horses in
eastern Montana.
At the charter election last Monday
there were 81 votes cast, of which %
were in favor and SO against it, the char
ter being thus overwhelmingly defeated
There was considerable work done, especi
ally against the charter Ii is probable
that the negative vote represents to a
great extent the opposition to any in
corporation, at least of the nature of the
present charter.--Missoulian.
Preparations for war have been made
at Fl. Missoula. The Riel Rebellion in
the Dominion and the possibilities that
refugees may cross the border into the
Flatherd lake settlement or into other
parts of the Territorvs is, we suppose, the
reason for making preparations. If
occasion requires it the troops at Fl. Mis-
soula will need but few hours notice 10
be on the march,-Missoula Times.
Daniel Searles and Chance L. Harris,
the former for some years editor, and the
latter for a season city editor, have severed
their connection with the Miner, which
yesterday passed into the editorial man
agement of c. o. Ziegenfuss, Danver. Mr.
Harry Rivers has, for the present, charge
Of the local department, Any courtesies
that our readers may be able to extend
to either Mr.. Ziegenfuss or Mr.. Rivers
will be duly appreciated by the Mine
Miner, llth
The Republicans are a good deal more
distressed over the Federal appointments
in this Territory than the Democrats |
Their anxiety is entirely uncalled Tor.
In due season President Cleveland will |
fill those offices with intelligent, earnest,
honest and patriotic men, of whom the
Democracy will be proud, and who viii,
by their conduct, add lustre to the purity |
of this administration. Be patient, gen.
tlemen, and in due time your curiosity
and anxiety viii be allayed-Miner.
I 1t sounds big to say that 100000 |
worth of cattle were represented by their
owners at Miles City last week in the
cattle association, but it was neyerthe-
less fact, and yet this was a compare
lively small representation of the cattle
interests of the territory Miner.
We regret to say, however, that the tax
rolls do not make such good showing.
There should be some consistency be- |
tween the two Statements Missoulian
The Helena Herald, quoting territor- /
ial item that a man in Custer county fell |
into BEARS cave and was killed by the |
bear, is bothered to know how the story
got out if the man could not As the |
man had companion along who did not
fall in the cave, we see no difficulty in
the matter. We would suggest to the
Herald that there are great many more
curious things happening rightin Helena
to bother it's head over. For instance,
why prisoners can escape from such an
excellent Jail as Lewis and Clarke county
has; why county and other officers can
be defaulters for year after year without
discovery why the governor always
offers rewards for Lewis and Clarkes
escaped prisoners, and other mysterious
things -Missoulian
