society or to the general order of exist
ing arrangements in respect to family.
The qualifications, whether in the way
OF requirements or character for admi-
ssion to the bar would undergo no
change it would still be at the option of
clients to select their own legal counsel,
and they would do so in the exercise of
their best judgment with reference to
their own interests. Competency and
ability in the profession would, as now,
be the rule of success. The best lawyers
whether men or women, would COM
mand the largest business and reap the
largest profits. Society would 90 on and
the family would go on as they now do,
with no disturbance in the relations of
the sexes to each other, or in their
feelings toward each other. Women
would still be women with the distinctive
peculiarities which Nature assigns to
them, and the same would be true ofmen.
The idea that some great evil is to be
averted, or some great good is to be Sc
cured, by excluding women from the
legal profession, is in our judgment the
merest moonshine imaginable. To abol-
ish the exclusion would be simply open
ing the profession to both sexes on equal
terms, and would thus destroy the mon
opoly nowso generally possessed by the
male sex; and if the latter cannot stand
such a competition, then this fact is a
good reason why the exclusion should
be abolished, and just as many women
as choose to do so, should, on equal
terms with man, have the opportunity
of trying the fortunes of life in
the practice of law. We do not
believe in the theory which says to any
women that she shall not be lawyer,
or that she shall not be physician, any
more than we do in the theory which
says to her that she shall not be mer-
chant. We can see no good and suffi-
Gent reason why Mrs. Bradwell should
not be permitted to practice law if she
wishes to do so and can stand the neces-
sary examination as to her knowledge
OF law; and what is true in respect to
her is equally true in respect to every
woman. We would, in word, break
down the monopoly Of the male sex in
regard to the practice Of law, giving to
both sexes an equal right, and then
leave things to take care of themselves
under natural forces. If female lawyers
should prove a failure, then let them
fail; but if, on the other hand, they
should prove success, we should have
no objections. We believe in giving
women chance to try their powers in
this field SO far as they wish to do So

While the civilized world is being
agitated over the possible spread of the
cholera from the shores of Spain where
it has created such havoc, it would be
well for the health department to look
after our city, not alone Swede Hollow,
but the dump of Eagle street, and
several vacant lots along one of our prin-
cipal thoroughfares, Third street, where
people living in the vicinity, all the
winter have been throwing their gar
bage which becomes very offensive at
times, and ought to be looked after, or
we may have cholera here in our midst.

Why is it Thus?

How is it when colored men of means
appear in papers published by white
men that they laugh and cheer at it no
matter what the charge might be, but as
soon as he is given to understand that he
is doing wrong, by a paper published by
one of his own race, he gets off the
handle. We will just say here, that we
are publishing this paper in the interest
of the people, and whatever is done by
them we shall endeavor to treat all
questions affecting them, as we feel so in
clined. It is our aim to fight for the
establishment of morality in this COM

TO OUR YOUNG LADIES,

Carry the radiance Of your soul in
your face, let the world have the benefit
of it, let your cheerfulness be felt for
good wherever you are, and let your
smiles be scattered as sunbeams on the
unjust as we'll as the just Such dispo-
sition will yield just reward, for it's
happy effects will come home to you and
brighten your moments of thought.
Cheerfulness clears the mind, gives tone
to thought, and adds grace and beauty to
the countenance.
Smiles are little things, cheap articles
to be fraught with many blessings both
to the giver and the receiver, pleasant
little ripples to watch as we stand on the
shore of everyday life; they are higher
and better responses to the emotion of
the soul, let your children have the
benefit Of them, those little ones who
need the sunshine Of the heart to edu-
cate them, and would find a level for
their buoyant nature in the cheerful
faces Of those who need them; let them
not be kept from the middle aged who
need the encouragement they bring;
give your smiles also to the aged, they
come to them like the quiet rain of
summer, making fresh and verdant the
long and weary path of life, they look
for them from you, who are rejoicing in
the flllness of life.

dustry. tIr. Mchelvey is eminently
practical in his operations. having
made a trip to France, England, Nor
mandy and other countries IN Europe
to make a personal study Of the fine
stock business. He subjected the best
stock Of Europe to his critical obser-
Walton and acute analysis of their
strong points, making pedigrees a
special study. He and Mr.. Hill com
pared notes on the stock industry,
with great advantage to North Dakota
generally. The Mouse River Stock
company is deyoting itself to develop
ment Of fine cattle and horses ealcu-
lated for improving the Northern
breeds. The company has it's head
quarters at Grand Forks, butts prac-
teal operations L confined to its
splendid ranges on the Mouse river,
where the wild pea hay abounds for
winter feed and where there are I'M
pie wind breaks for the stock, which
keep II fine condition even IL mid
winter, and may be marketed at al
most any seoson Of the year. The
breed Of cattle being developed there
by this company are Herefords and
Polled Angus, their specially being
the breeding of bulls for the better
ment Of the herds in Montana. 1t is
claimed that by breeding these bulls
in North Dakota they are fully accli-
mated for the ranges in Montana. TT
is also claimed that the great cattle
ranges Of the future will extend from
the Mouse river country, on the east,
to the extreme limit Of the Northern
Montana ranges on the west, includ-
ing the Milk river country and the
present Indian reservations on the
north to the British line. and perhaps
under favorable conditions, beyond.
coRRoBoRATIyE TESTIMONY.
O. N. Towner, a well known stock
man Of North Dakota, was asked
about this, and said it was a fact, and
he added with much enthusiasm, that
he would guarantee that he could
take a herd Of cattle from the Massel-
shell or the Yellowstone country and
load their ribs with more fat III three
months, even iii winter, than if they
stall fed for SIX months. He contend
ed that when the Manitoba had been
extended to the Montana ranges these
cattle could be shipped to the Mouse
river to be fattened to advantage.

BAKING POWDER T1RAMPs.

The danger to the public health from
the indiscriminate use of the many lime
and alum baking powders of commerce
has been SO fully exposed that everybody
desires to avoid hem. As "forewarned
is forearmed,', housekeepers will thank
us for apprising them of the special eff
forts at present being made to dispose Of
such powders in this vicinity.
The proprietorso some OF the worst OF
these powders are o going from house
to house, trying by means OF a trick, OF
so-called test, with heat and water, to
show that their article is as good as the
Royal Baking Powder, making the com
parison with this brand because every
body recognizes it to be absolutely pure
and wholesome, the object, of course, be
ing 10 supply their W goods in place Of
the Royal, which housekeepers have for
so many years relied upon to puff up the
morning biscuit, and to make the light,
palatable, and wholesome roll, cake, and
| pastry for which it is famous.
The housekeeper will do we'll to be on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps. Every intelligent person knows
shat any goods peddled from house to
house in this manner, or that are given
away in samples, or sought to be INTRO
duced by secretly traducing the character
of other goods we'll known to be pure and
reliable, have no merits of their own, and
have filled to find purchasers through le-
Ultimate means.
We are informed, as a matter OF fact,
that one of these tramps Is trying to IN
troduce a powder that has been found by
the Government chemist to be 11.S0 per
cent. lime, while the other peddles a pow
der that is 90 per cent. alum-one a pow
erful ~caustic, the other a corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt
to deceive any Intelligent person. The
housekeeper who mas used her Royal
Baking Powder ever since she discarded
cream of tartar and soda, knows more
about its qualities han all the tramps in
the country can teach her. The crucial
test to which she mas put the Royal Bak-
ing Powder-the test of actual and sue
cessful work in the preparation Of pure
and wholesome Food, under which it has
never faiIed-is entirely satisfactory to
her. She has always had good luck
with it in making light, sweet, and delici-
Gus bread, biscuit, and cake, and has
placed it, to stay. at the head of her house
keeping fa1orites. She knows that it has
been officially approved by the Govern
ment chemists as the best, and we mag
inc that the baking powder tramp who
attempts to supplant its place in her con
tidence will ind this a bad year for his
business.

From Great Falls, via new road to
THE c. P. BRANCH.
.litGr Of the TEInTNE:

Editor Of the TRIBUNE:
Tic construction of a railroad from the
Canada Pacific into northern Montana is
something that should interest every citi
zen Of Choteau cnuaty. 1t is doubtful if
any of the contemplated branches into
this part Of Montana would benefit US as
much as this Canada Pacific branch.
However this may be, the construction of
this road through the heart of
Choteau county would greatly accelerate
the development of this splendid country.
1t cannot be denied that Choteau county
possesses far more and better agricultural
land than any other county in Montana,
and consequently IS capable Of support
ing a much larger farming population. 1t
has always been my belief that northern
Montana will have more and better rail
road advantages than any other part of
the Territory. Railroads can be built
through and across it at all points, and
they can be built at ID much less expense

central and western Montana. This is an
all-important consideration, and when
taken in connection with our extensive
agricultural and stock-erowing interests,
gives assurance of ample railroad facili-
ties. We are sure to hayea branch from
both the Canada Pacific and the Northern
Pacific. and also a trunk line from Dako-
ia. The Missouri river will also contin-
lie to have its influence on the freight
traffic Of this part Of Montana, modifying
the rates to such an extent that goods can
and will be sold here cheaper than in any
other part Of the Territory. The build
ing of the Canada branch will hasten the
construction of other lines into northern
Montana. and for this reason it should re-
eeiye ali the aid and encouragement pos
sible. It matters not whether Fort Ben
ton or some other point becomes its ter
minus, the entire country will be benefit
ted by it. Let us hope that the work of
building this road will be commenced at
once and be pushed forward to compile
