MONTANA divorces do not seem to
rank very high in England. Last
fall cow boy lording from eastern
Montana, who had wife in England,
went TO Butte, applied for a divorce,
notified her by publication (which of
course she never heard of and secured
a divorce, he giving her $4,000 ali
mony. The divorced wife applied to
an English court to have the decision
set apart, so far as England is con-
cerned, and her application was
granted. Thus although the youth is
a single man and can marry in Amer
lea, the minute he steps on English
soillhis wife has claim on him. The
case is a somewhat novel one, as it per-
mits the man I'm question to have q
wife in both England and America,
which seems to be a sort Of compro-
mise with the faith of the latter-day
saints. Eastern Montana girls should
keep sharp lookout for a cow boy
lording with a polygamous look in his
eye, for he is bad man.

Early Days In the Black Hills.

A gentleman from T. ID Ranch says
that as several four-horse teams start
I'd out from his place few mornings
ago il made him think of the big
trains that used to 20 to the Black
Hills. He says he was one of a party
who went there in ~, in search of
gold and like many others he was dis
appointed. Every day, wagon after
wagon laden with men, could be seen
making for the Hills. All who went
were anticipating securing fortune
in no time. Their belief was that the
streets of Deadwood were lined with
gold. They were disappointed, how
ever, as in reaching their destination
they found that gold was not SO plen-
titul. as ambition pictured. And the
lack of gold was not all they found;
they found that it took small fortune
to exc out an existence in the overrun
region. One dollar it took for a meal
and expenses altogether footed up to
about S. per day. Flour cost $50 per
hundred, coffee 81 per pound, potatoes
twenty-five cents per pound, and other
necessities in like proportion. Many
men who sacrificed everything they
had to go to the supposed Eldorado
were compelled for want OF funds T.
leave Deadwood on foot. The gentle.
man from + u Ranch says he had a
friend there, who walked into the
Hills, and who had to sell his boots to
get something to eat; but he staid
there and when he did leave il was
with 800, 900 in his pockets.

tracts to supply water for a year. As
soon as the company secures "A suffi-
cient number of subscribers to warrant

days from the date of beginning work,
the plant will be completed.
The officers of the company are:
C. r. Gilman, president; William
Courtenay, treasurer; ID. Ullman,
manager.
These gentlemen have been negotiate
ing with Mr.. Rugg, Of ST. Paul, and
he will be given the contract of put
ting in the plants. After the water
works are under operation, the conn
pany will next devote it, attention TO
lighting the city with electric light.
The same power Will be used for the
electric lights and water works, and ii
will be necessary to have the water
works plant completed before the man
ufacture of electric light is commence

gressive town between st. Paul and

Wednesday, April as, 1886.

THE vie Us of Jefferson Davis as to
what legislation might he adopted to
bring about harmony and unity OF
action between capital and labor. were
solicited and the confederate ex-presi-
dent has responded in a manner
which gives evidence that he has
given the matter deep and unpreju-
diced consideration. The best intel
lects of Europe have pondered over
what means could best be adopted to
adjust the conflict now going on, but
they have never formulated plans
that could be acted upon with any
degree of hope that they would meet
the requirements of the case they
were intended for. The question has,
as Mr.. Davis states, disturbed COM
merce, overturned governments, pro.
duced anarchy, and crept from the
wreck without the problem being
solved. In this country the conflict
between capital and labor is only in
its insipiency. Self-interest and free
competition for labor will, whenever
laborers are too abundant, give to the
rich the power to Cypress the poor.
The legislature cannot destroy the
motive of self-interest, for that lies at
the foundation of material progress,
and efforts must, therefore, be directed
to unifying the interests of labor and
capital, so far MS the state legislature
can possibly do. The present form of
the conflict Is between associated labor
and corporations employing it. 1t is
not sufficiet answer TO say that the
price of labor has advanced, unless 1t
can be shown that the profits Of. labor
have moved pari possu with the
profits of capital, for in this as in
other things of comparative welfare,
We must consider the relative i'm
provemeDt. A court to arbitrate be-
tween the contending factions would
require both liberality and discretion,
and 1t would be needful that their de-
cision should be based on something
like a cooperative principle of indus
trial partnership, in which the wages
of the employees should be measured
by the profits of the corporation.

1T Is believed that Miss frankie
Folsom is to be the bride Of Presi-
dent Cleveland in June next and with
this understanding the newspapers in
the east have been making up her
pedigree. At last accounts they had
traced the young lady's genealogical
tree back to the year 1888 and found
that she was of irreproachable lineage,
and that beauties in her family have
not been uncommon, nor has 1t been
altogether unusual for them to marry
men Of high degree.
