THE ANTI.PRIzE FIGHTING BILL

A majority of the House Judiciary
Committee reported a substitute for
Goveror Potts. anti-prizef fighting bill.
Our Helena correspondent gave US
some of the features of he substitute,
but he failed to state whether itcounts
reporters of the press In the pool with
prize fighters, trainers. seconds, back
ers, etc.. or not. We hope not.
In commenting upon the bill the
Yellowstone Journal of the 10th inst,
has the following to say, all of which
we heartily endorse: I'VE are
heartily IN favor of the measure and
hope to see the bill become . law If
the clause prohibiting newspaper re-
ports Is omitted. But it 1t is neces-
sary to throttle the press to prevent
prize fighting, then we say the cure
will De q more serious blow to civil
society than can be justified by the
circumstances. Out of the two evils
choosing the less, we would prefer to
see prize fighting licensed by law, as
are some other vices, than that so
dangerous a precedent should be es-
tablished as would inevitably result
from passing the bill in its present
shape. The prohibition referred to is
highly Objectionable for another and
paramount reason in that it il In di
rect contravention of the constitution
OF the United States which il the
supreme law even IN the territory of
Montana. The first amendment to
the federal constitution ratified as
long ago as December Is, 1871, pro-
vided that Congress shall make no
law abridging the
freedom of speech, or Of the press,n
That the Potts a~nti-prize fighting
bill If 1t become a law would operate
as an abridgement Of the freedom Of
the press, even though it be unwlt-
tingly, BY prohibiting the publication
OF reports of prize fights is so apparent
as to enable him who runs to read it.
If Congress has not the authority to
make such a law surely the legisla-
ture of Montana, the mere creature of
congress possesses no power not in
her. Mt In its creator. Eliminate this
Objectionable and senseles . clause and
The oil will have our support, other
wise we would gladly see it die in the
room"

The English Cabinet.

LONDON, Jan d. Tine rail ual
G0zetIe says the cabinet has accepted
French proposals regarding Egyptian

provided no mui,iJ lie control be IN

WITH THE HIRED MAN,
A DAUGHTER OF A WEALTHY FARMER
CHOOSES A HUSBAND.
She EiopeS at Midnight with q Farm
Laborer, Who Bears Very Bad
Reputation, and Has
Wife and Family.

Troy, n, Y, Aug 24.-George MARBLE,
wealthy farmer residing about three miles
from Gloversviile, had been employing a
farm hand, q married man with a family
of eight children named James Blanchard.
The farmers only child, q daughter named
Ella, pretty and favorite in
the community, had shown fond
ness for the hired man. and as now ap-
pears the two were for some weeks pre-
pairing to elope. The neighbors noticed
their strange conduct, and finally the father
found it advisable to dispense with his hired
mans services. Friday the girl went to
Johnstown where she met Blanchard, and
final preparations were made and plans
formed. That night, after her parents were
asleep, she packed all her apparel in meal
bags and also took all her jewelry and
trinkets not forgetting to appropriate
nearlysS4O0 in coin and bank notes which
belonged to her parents. All the bags were
removed from the house and hid in the
brush along the road. About midnight
Blanchard came with wagon, with which
they made their departure. They drove
to Jamestown. From there they
went to Fultonville, taking a western
bound train. The parents knew nothing Of
the affair until morning. The mother pro-
ceeied 10 her room, where was found
farewell message. The girl wrote that there
was no one like the man she was going with.
This is the second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marple who has elopsd younger one going
away about four years ago She lived
about two years with her husband life OF
misery, and was brought home dead.
Blanchard had a clouded reputation, having
several years age left his family in a SINH
lar manner for the west, being accom-
panied by woman. He returned after
ar absence of about one year and was for
given. He deserted the woman he took upon
his former trip and the farmers daughter
is likely to meet, with a similar fate.
BIanchari'> family are i'll destitute circum-
stances. Ella would have Inherited all Of
her fathers property but for her folly.
