tory vs.. Anderson.
DEER LODGE, M. r., October 6, 1885,
In the case of the Territory VS.. Louis
! Anderson, charged with an assault with
intent to kill William Noble at Philipsburg,
on the 18th ult., a preliminary hear
ing was had to-day before Probate Judge
Emerson. W. II. Trippet. Deputy District
Attorney, appeared for the prosecution,
and J. H. Duffy, of Butte, for the defence.
After the examination of one witness the
defendant waived further examination and
was held to bail in the sum of $4,000, and
remanded to jail. The prisoner has many
friends at Phiiipsburg who deeply regret
the unfortunate transaction. Noble, the
wounded man, is not wholly out of danger,
but DR.. Bowie states hat with proper care
he will SURVIVE the shock. He was shot in
the arm once, in the leg onte, and in the
body twice.
DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE.
Great preparations are being made for q
grand Democratic barbecue and rally at
Race Track, about ten miles south OF Deer
Lodge. The time has not been set as it is
nOU kuOWu lu6t WHICH, DCAC60OO w 10Y
Maginnis, and the other distinguished
speakers can be present. This will be
grand county
ROUNDUP OF THE DEMOCRACY
and one of the greatest gala days ever wit
messed in Deer Lodge Valley. Philipsburg,
Anaconda, Stuart, Warm Springs, Deer
Lodge, Garrison, New Chicago, in fact every
point in the county will be represented.
The townspeople are contributing literally
of their means, while the farmers are trying
to outvie each other in donating cattle,
sheep and pigs. Butte should not miss the
chance to enjoy this festive OCCASION. It
will evidently be one of the most magni6-
cent demonstrations that ever took place
in the Territory. Deer Lodge Valley and
surroundings propose to furnish the grub,
and inasmuch as we are not a drinking peo-
ole down here, those who come from abroad
are expected to furnish the 'elixir of life"
Since the above was put in writing, Sher-
if McMaster came in or the train from
Helena and says all arrangements have
been made with the speakers to be here Tor
Race Track on tho 18th inst. Special
trains will run from Helena, Butte and
other points. JOE busH.

100000, 900 Of silver coin now In circula.
tfon, 1t is impossible to say what price
should be taken AZ the standard in issuing
the silver certificates advocated by Senator
Sherman,
Suppose the proposed change had been
made few weeks since when fine silver only
brought VI cents pei ounce in London and
New..York. Since that time silver has ad.
vanced 6 cents per ounce, and it is evident
that the certificates issued on the 91-cent
basis would now be worth about z pei
cent, more than either gold or g~reenbacks
II the price Of silver should fall the differ
ence would be on the other side OF the at
count. Would Senator Sherman provide
by law that the silver certificates he recon-
mends should always be q legal tender al
their face value? If 40 it is not evident
that this plan would be an improvement
ON the lpresent law which makes the silver
dollar a full legal tender Of it's face value
What say our Republican cotempofaries
ofMr. Sherman'a h%roposition?

Before Col. Sanders gets through with
this campaign he will be called upon to ex'
plain why he caused the annulment of the
law giving miners a first lien upon the mine
he was employed in; why he wanted unre
stricted Chinese immigrationin the country;
to explain all his subsidy schemes and what
percentage he was to get, if any, of the
bonus which it was supposed the people OF
Montana would give to the railroad com
pany he represents; to give a reason why
as the agent and confidential adviser of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company he did
not enter his protest against the locking
out of the Timberline miners, and why he
did not advise a just course to be pursued
by the company towards the miners along
the line of it's road through Montana. The
company would not have turned a deaf
to his advice in these matters.

SOME GOOD I n

In his speech in Helena last Saturday
night the Hon. w. E. Cullen, Col. Sanders
law partner got off several good things or
the "war horse" Here are q couple o.
them:
"Col. Sanders told an anccdote in hie
speech here the other night. 1t was an old
chestnut, but it was brown and good. ]
would not refer to it but for the fact that
the Colonel singularly forgot to make any
application of it.. 1t was about some fei.
low in the Bowery theatre, who, having oc.
casion to pitch an intruder out of his box,
was besought by his companion Not to
waste his man, but to kill a fiddler with
him. (Iaughter.) The Colonel no doubt
intended to enquire who is the great war
horse of the Republican party in Montana?'
Who is it, that when he has taken snuff,
the entire Republican party has sneezed?
Who is it. hat when he has fiddled, the en-
tire Republican party throughout the Ter
ritory have danced. II he had made these
enquiries the application of his anecdote
would have been patent to all. Fellow cit
liens, l put it to you here tonight, shall
we waste Joe Toole, or shall we kill this
fiddler with him? Laughter and ap-
plause."
II suppose there are Republicans whoim-
agine that il the improbable should happen
if it should happen that on election day
the Democrats staid at home and the Re-
p%ublicAns went to the polls and thereby
Sanders should be elected, it would be q re-
buke to the administration and Sparks
would resign; they imagine the war horse

in his eye, %sulphurous fire and smoke issu.
ing from his nostrils, scorn contempt and
hate depicted on every feature of his coun-
%tenance, and with one fell ewoop be utterly
and forever demolishes the offending COM
missioner.
Now let me draw q more faithful picture
ofthe manner in which Sanders will put
out Sparks. should he succeed in getting to
Washington as delegate from Montana. "a

tain'y nothing to indicate that he will get
there, but suppose he should. Some fine
morning when the sun is shining brightly.

ing in all nature presaging the dire disaster
which ia about to happen, the doughty COL
onel approaches the general and Office. He
enters and salutes the commissioner, Good
morning, General Sparks, l am glad to see
you looking so well to-day. 1 know your
old neighbor, Col. Hundley, very we'll. He
is an excellent citizen and a warm personal
friend of mine. Many is the time we have
glasses together. Let us go out and
a little something to the health of Col.
Hundley.' ~(Laughter.l And they go, arm
in arm, Sanders and Sparks, exeunt omnes,
and the curtain descends to slow music on
his terrible tragedy.

What has become of the anti-civil ser.
vice opposition to President Cleveland
that was to break out all over the country
in the nominating conventions of Septem-
Der? This month closes with the Demo-
Gratis OF Massachusetts straight in line with
the Democracy OF Connecticut, New Jer-
sey and New York with the declaration
that they 'applaud the steady adherence
OF the President to his ante-election
pledges made to the people in 1884 in re-
gard to civil service REFORM" As an en-
barrassment to Democratic unity the anti
civil service boom does not rank as q
success, and in view of the Cabinet meeting
day before yesterday it will never prove one.

SHERMAN'S PLAN.

While our Republican contemporaries
throughout the Territory are fighting shy
of the silver question for fear il they
opened their mouths upon it they would
either stultify themselves or run counter to
the DEGREES of their party, Senator John
Sherman is still insisting that the only
proper solution Of the coinage problem is
to put enough bullion in the silver dollar to
make it equal to the gold dollar. His plan
is to call in all the outstanding silver dol.
lars, and to issue certificates that would
represent the gold value of the sill.
yer bullion thus accumulated. OF
all the schemes advanced by the opponents
of bimetallic coinage this has the least to
recommend it. Aside from the manifest
injustice Of practically wipins out about
