A Democratic Victory.

A State which elected Republican
Governor by ], 400 majority four years
ago, and which gave Mr.. Blaine a
plurality of 1886 two years ago, now
elects Democratic Governor by 1000
majority, and enough other officials of
the same party to place the full control
| of the State institutions in Democratic
hands for the next four years. The
reason for this change is plainly seen,
and, for wonder, frankly stated, by
| SO thoroughly dyed party organ as
the Philadelphia Press. 1.-The Oregon
Republicans lost" it says, ''because
the people could not approve of their
course. Their candidates aroused no
enthusiasm, and fair platform could
not compensate for the profound dis
satisfaction caused by the party's rec
ord. The people were more willing to
| trust the government of the State tenn
porarily to incompetent hands than to
indorse by their votes the control into
which the Republican organization had
fallen then" The cool assumption
that only Republicans are really fit to
govern, and that Democrats must nee
essarily be incompetent, is in the true
organ tone; but the fact is recognized
that Oregon was lost because portion
of the voters, who are usually Repub-
lican, would not sustain ring rule or
support unfit candidates - in other
words, constituted themselves Mug
wumps for this occasion. The fact is
attested by the election of Republican
Congressman, and of those State candi-
lates against whom these objections
lid not lie. e.-Boston Herald.

A Brass Band.

A brass band has been organized by
some of the musicians of the town.
The instruments have been sent for
and are expected to arrive here during
the next few days. AS many Of them
are as yet only beginners, 1t is proba-
BILE that out of courtesy to the sense Of
hearing of the residents Of the town,
shack will be built somewhere on the
reservation In which to practice until
they shall have arrived at the required
state of perfection. In times past We
have been dependent on the Fort
Keogh band for good music, which
has been ably furnished by them, but
the time may now be anticipated
when the brilliant entertainments Of
so frequent occurrence in town, will
be heightened by the charms lent to
them by the music of the Miles City
brass band. What Is more agreeable
on summer evening than to sit out
in the cool air and listen to a good
band? II the boys work together and
succeed In or anizing a band COM
posed of competent musicians, they
will be comforting great favor on the
citizens of the town.

Civilian witnesses In c. M. Cases.

The following opinion has been rem
dered by the acting judge advocate
general and concurred in by the Sec
retary of war: Fees paid 10 witnesses
are to reimburse them for expenses of
transportation to and from the place
of attendance, and the per diem al
lowance is paid during such attend
ance for his time and expenses whether
he testifies or not, as he might not be
called upon to testify; the fact that he
declines to testify cannot affect the
right to his pay. The law makes no
provision for compelling civilian
witness to testify before court mar
tial. 1t does, however, make provi-
sion for compelling him TO attend, and
the regulations provide for payment
to him Of witness fees upon such at
tendance, but payment of such fees is
nowhere made conditional upon his
testifying. In view of these facts, 1
am of the opinion that -, who
now makes a claim for witness fees,
having attended the court az a witness,
is entitled to them. notwithstanding
his refusal to testify"
