Pass Him Around.

A representative of the printing es-
tablishment attached to the Herald,
at Omaha, is now canvassing Montana
for Job work. There is, in general
way, no good reason why a business
man should send his printing outside
the Territory. 1t can be done here
just as well, proberly says the Butte
Miner, and the local press which is
struggling hard for existance, is en-
titled to it in all decency. But the
Herald establishment should under
no circumstances receive any en-
enlargement from this section of the
country. 1t is a rabid anti-silverI
newspaper, toadying to corporations
and to the gold-bugs. 1t is inimical
to the interests of this region, and is
daily doing all it can in its feeble
way to paralyze the chief industry of
the Rocky Mountain region. Yet it
has the impudence to send agents
here to solicit patronage. If the fell
low comes to Haley we trust he will
be kicked out of business places
which he may enter to solicit trade
tInter Idaho.

ia,he Epidemic ,I d Of ), Crime {, =, I. !.

3 Whence comes this epidemic Of sui.
$cides and murd ers? Recent discussions
have named several causes. Hon. G.
H. Reeve, of Indiana, charges it to in
fdel teachings ofding that hopeless
ness Of a future state cripples fortitude
for bearing life'sSills. Another declares
suffering from the universal business
depression the cause. A third writer
attributes it, to increasing insanity, a
physician thinks much Of the tendency
is Inherited, while temperance advo-
Gates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink. Il, s 5.: 81
Free-thinkers have committed sui.
eide, butso have orthod ox churchmen.
Financial straits have beset many, but
the wealthy have also taken theirlife
Insanity and dissipation have pre-
coded suicides and family murders.
One feature comment to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report of suicide and fan1i-
ly murder mentions the perpetrator
as having "for some time been subject
to melancholy" Whence comes this?
All recognized medical authorities tell
us that the fire which consumes the
brain is always kindled by derange-
ments Of digestion; thatgood digestion
is impossible without pure blood, and
pure blood is never known when the
liver and kidneys are out of order.
Under such circumstances, a prevent
i've should be sought, and for this War
ner's safe cure is soveign-a fact con-
coded, by the best authorities in the
land, and it is especially commended

/ Horse That Squares Accounts.

There is a fish pedlar in the city who
drives q raw-boned, halt-dead horse
before a rickety old wagon, and he
beats and abuses the equine in man
ner that calls forth the indignation of
every pedestrian. "A. dozen times q
day some one threatens to punch the
pedlar's head for his cruelty, and q
dozen times the police have hauled
him up. However, nobody felt thor
oughly3 satisfied until q few days ago.
The man was selling fish on Beaubien
street, and in jumping off his wagon
he made a slip and fell in such a way
that one leg was caught fast, while his
head hung at the horses heels.
The mills of,the gods grind slow. So
do the mills of an old horse. This ami
mathis sleepy, humble, patient and
enduring old rawbones, had been wink
ing his left, eye and biding his time, and
now it had come. The man had
scarcely yelled "Murder!" before the
old horse socked him one. He was
barefooted, but had lots of muscle in
his hind legs. After the first kick he
seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, and he
put 'em in hot and heavy. He wanted
TO get both feet on the pedlar's head
and stand there and mediate, but
this could not be accomplished. In
lieu Of it he took a run of two blocks,
and put extra muscle into some Of the
kicks. I, d 5 n s. VI
When the pedlar was finally rescued
the most of his hair had been worn off
on the ground, the most of. his head
had been kicked off by the horse, and
his general appearance would have
been q ticket Of admission to any
hospitalin the country. They laid
him on the grass and threw water on
him, and when he could sit up a little
and remember what had occurred he
rolled his eyes around on the ground
and said: 4. 4. ! RI ..5

much und so hard. I knows he gets
eaten with me if der shance. comes. y

4 Washington Special: Secretary Lamar.
decided the appeal taken by the Manitobn
from the decision OF ExSLnnd Commissioner
Mcfarland, on July l5, 1884, in regard to
tile right Of therond to select lands in lieu Of
indemnity lands relinduished by the st. Paul

latter road had relinquished certain odd
numbered sections within the twenty miles
Indemnity limits, which the road had never
selected and they were settled upon by
honesteader March 20, 1878, the Mani
toba ,adlected the lands in question, Com
missioner Mcfarland held that the
railrohd company had no right to the
settlers landss Secretary Lamar decided
that this case rests on grounds similar to
those in tie st. Paul & Sioux City case, in
the Worthingto on district, where 5000
acres were decided son the 10th Of April
this year to, be they ond the reach Of the
railroad company. In other words the
principle that indemnity lands cannot be
relinqu ished by the railrond company be-
lore losses are proved and selections made
therefor, has been fixed, and will not be. re-
pealed atpresent. w Y i 1

I Enlightened By Consul Mason.

/ The secretary Of state has received q de.
tailed report of Consul Mason in regard to:
the cholera ut Marseilles, France.
He commentsaupon the false policy OF the
authorities in endeavoringsto suppress. the
truth, and speaks Of the sensation caused
by the rude awakening ON the 18th ult.,
when the community realized that it was
in the first stage Of an epidemic Of real
Asiatic cholera; which had mot been
Imported from Spain Or elsewhere. The
most elementary principles OF sanitary
leanliness are unknown, in Marseilles, and
ION this point the consul goes into details.
From the list, to the 10th Of August there
were 721 deaths. or an average OF thirty
eight per day The disease has salso APP
peared seriously in the suburbs OF the city.
The; malady has been more fatal than last
year to sailors Of vessels IN port, and has
been particulaIl serious to ;seamen from
England and Scandinavia. 81 The disease

the dissipated, tho insane and the unclean.
