HURON. june 25.-In its many kind
words for Dakota towns the people of
Huron are very grateful to the GLOBE for
all that it has said for their brisk little city.
Few towns even in the great Northwest
can boast of more thrift, enterprise, bust
ness push and energy than ''Huron-on-the-

able continuance of Mr.. Sparks in office,
Judge Clifford said.

Those who expect Sparks to resign or to be
removed, may as well bury their hopes.
While am confident that he does not stand
well at the White house, and that the presi-
dent is sorry that he ever found him, it is
pretty well settled in my mind that Sparks
will stay where he is. He has the strongest
backing Of any man in Office. He has many
friends, and more enemies. He will stay. If
1t would not appear too ludicrous, should
say that he is trying to close all the public
lands OF this great republic, in order to COM
pei some of the settlers to stop in Illinois and
buy up some Of the $4,000 acres he owns
there.

clal and political center of the richest terri
tory within the confines of the continent.


Recurring to finances reminds me that
the June statements of the four banks
here show Helena to be the heaviest tnan-
cial center on the basis OF population in
this country. if not in the world The ac-
tuaI banking capital is only ST.
570,000 yet the deposits are
81, 154, 900. These figures are most
extraordinary, as three of these banks
have only been in existence from two to
three years. The strong point about these
figures, as indicating the wealth of the
city, is the fact that the deposits are so
much heavier than the banking capital
For instance the First National bank Has
~. 325, 600, the Merchants National $685.
800, the Montana National $79s, 800, the
Second National, 500, 600 on deposit
And this money is kept moving, through
the channels of trade in legitimate mining
industry, in stock investment and through
all OF the ramifcations of busy CONNER
cial center.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
The prelnonitory symptoms of an early
campaign i'll the territory are setting up, and
some OF the candidates are coming eau
T!ously to the surface. The only one yet
introduced to the public is Andrew Bur-
leigh. Republican, of Miles City, whose fu-
ture prospects are likely to be blasted by
the acts of his fool friends in forcing the
political season for them. Col. Sanders
is factor that must be counted in this cam
paign lie is the old warhorse of the party
and his friends claim is entitled to the first
consideration in the coming convention,
which, however, has not yet been called.
The Democrats are doing nothing yet.
Delegate Toole and ex-Delegate Maginnis
are both in Washington working together
for the territorial interest. like brace of
long separated brothers. There are no sur
face indications of any factious contention
in the party this year. The lines will be
closely drawn when the issues of the cam
paign come to be settled and the candidates
are i'll the field for action. Mr.. Toole can
be his own successor if he wants it again.
Ii he doesn't. W. A. Clarke of Butte and
Sam Word. who is moving from Butte to
Helena. may enter the lists at the solicita-
ton of their friends. Maginnis, it is I'M
derstood, is not an aspirant. But it is too
early yet to give the GLOBE readers any
reliable speculation ON the subject of pol
tics i'll connection with the campaign.

MANUFACTURERS IN TEXAS.

Texas is an immense state in
territory and even more immense
In possibilities. The devclope-
ment of the resources of this state
is in its early infancy. There is
water power enough in the state
that is not utilized to run all the
machinery in the New England
states. Our iron mines are unde-
veloped and our forests unused ex-
cept for the manufacture of lumber
and railroad ties. Of cotton mills
we have none of any note, al
though Texas produces nearly one
quarter of all the cotton grown in
the United States. 1t would seem
that no state or no section of the
county offers so great an induce
ment for extensive cotton mills as
Texas. The raw material can be
had almost at the mill door; the
water power to operate the ma
chinery is here; the climate is mild,
the winters short and living cheap.
Cotton mills in Georgia are opera
ted successfully, and iron manufac-
ting in nearly all its branches is
proftably carried on in Alabama.
Let the state, through the leglsla-
ture, pursue q liberal policy to-
ward capitalists from other states
coming to Texas to engage in
manufacturing enterprises and they
will come in due time. It would
seem that all things being equal
cotton fabrics and woolens too, can
be made as cheaply in Texas as in
New England and the necessaries
OF life in tho way Of provisions and
breadstuff can be had cheaper. The
freight tariffs on the raw cotton
and wool to New England and on
manufactured goods back to Texas
are sufficient in themselves to af-
ford good margin for profit. The
manufacturing industries are rapid
ly multiplying in the Southern
States and Texas will naturally get
her full share of them in the future.

OUR OPPORTUNITY.

1t is stated that the Arkansas Pass
railway is heading for Sealy; the
narrow gauge railway is in course
of construction westward, and the
Santa Fe railway has in contem.
platlen an extensive branch west
ward. All ofthis means that Sealy
is to become a railway center, and
it means further that the trade
Brennan has heretofore gotten
from Industry, New Ulm and
other points to the southwest will
be entirely cut off if Brennan does
not take q hand in the railway
building in southern Texas. Nat
ural advantages are not worth the
mentioning; 1t requires push, en-
terprlse and a liberal expenditure
of money 10 build up city nova
days. Every town of any impor-
lance in this section of the state is
fully alive to Its own interests, and
every town is taking steps to add
to Its railway facilities. Navasota,
a town that is now getting q good
deal of trade that ought of right to
come to Brennan, but which on
account of bad wagon roads and
and our peculiar way of handling
cotton goes away from us, is now
agitatlng the building of railroad
to Huntsville. Bellvllle on the
south wants the Arkansas Pass road
and will make an effort get 1t.
LAGRANGE and Fayetteville in Fay
cite county are both working in
the interest of new railways. 1t
begins to look as if Brennan was
destined to be fianked on all sides
by railways, and while this is be-
ing done a number of property
owners here are sitting at their
leisure doing absolutely nothing,
and If the present mastery mac
tivity is continued they will have
absolutely nothing to do. Five
years will work a complete revolu.
ton in Southern Texas. Brennan
can be made as good a town as
there is in the state, but it will
take work and money to do SO. A
few of our enterprislng citizens
have undertaken the building Of
the Brazos Valley railway, an en-
terprise which when completed
will double our business, but so fa1
the general public here is taking
no marked interest in the matter
The building of the Brazos Valley
railway will mark new era in the
business prosperity of Brennan
When our people take an interest
in the Brazos Valley railway and
the building of it is actually begun
it will be the means of attracting
other ,,roads from the southwest tc
Brennan. As we have said fire.
quentlY in the past the fate or rath
err the future of Brennan is in the
hands of her own people and III
order to get aid from abroad they
must first show that they are il
earnest by helping themselves.

ENFORCEMENT of LAW.

The Waco Day says 1t is re-
ported that within the past two
years Governor Ireland has par
doned $50 convicts out of the peni-
Tertiary. The Day does not ques-
ton "the governors right, nor as
sert that he has exercised executive
clemency without good reason, but
it is just such laxity of punishment
that invites mob law. Too much
mercy to men duly convicted of
CRIME means swift retribution to
others without the Intervention of
Judge or Jury" In this connection
it may be remarked that during
the last few weeks there have been
quite a number of lynchings in
Texas and n very free condemna-
ton of mob law on the part of the
press. Condemning mob law is
easy and is right and proper, but
notwithstanding all the condemna-
ton mob law still exists and when
ever occasion requires 1t, 1t is put
into force and effect. Mob law is
terrible thing, and may be safe to
say that 1t is rarely resorted to
without good reason. 1t is also
safe to say that mobs do not take
men out of the hands ofthe legally
constituted officers and hang them
for nothing. 1t is not the purpose
of the BANNER 10 defend mob law,
or to even offer any apology for it.
Mob law is abroad in the land and
it is just as we'll to view it as it
actually exists. Every good man
will freely admit that mob law is
wrong, but at the same time must
admit that there is cause tor its
existence. Experience has demon
strated IN the past that those who
take the law into their own hands
are seldom if ever punished. 1tis
doubtful if there is a single case on
record, from the organization Of
the Republic of Texas down to this
good day in which the perpetrators
of mob law have been tried by the
courts and found guilty. In view
of this state OF affairs it is safe to
say that the unwritten law which
is far stronger than the statute law
eondones, if it does not justify mob
law. If mob law is to be banished
from the land the written law FAUST
be enforced to the letter, and the
punishment of the criminal must be
not only speedy but sure. When
ever the day comes that the people
are satisfied that the man who com
mits murder or rape, will certainly
get his just punishment at the
hands of the legally constituted
authorities, then the day of moi
law will be among the things Of
the past,
