Tn. Yellowstone Canoe Club.

A few ambitious aud adventure low
ing young men got together last night
and organized the Yellowstone Canoe
Club. with the expressed intention of
sailing the waters blue" or any other
color for the matter of that, during the
coming summer In the tipsy little
cockle shells known az canoes, in
which one man sits, with his hair
parted i'm the middle, and trusts large
ly to providence for favorable results.
The sluggish streams Of the prairie
state may do very well for this kind of
aquatics, but from basis Of the NEGRO
logical statistics of the Yellowstone
and its tributaries, that when any
eddy, rapids or other phenomenon in
these waters is improperly approached
1t just gets up and howls, and it gen.
orally happens that the fellow who
makes the break is in no condition for
apologizing or backing out. How
ever. We have no desire to throw cold
water on the project; it will get enough
Of that in due time, and We shall
glory in each and every successful trip
as fiuently as the boundless resources
of the English language will permit.
As a matter of convenience, however,
carefully prepared obituaries will be
kept in type all summer. The or
ganizers are L. A. Huffman, C.. +.

Jehreys-Lewis.

The Helena Independent of Satur-
day last, speaks thus highly Of Miss
Jeff'reys-Lewis, who appears here on
Friday and Saturday of this week
1.-The play-goer, Of Helena have fully
demonstrated the fact that they are
critical and intelligent enough to ap-
preciate and patronize attractions oi
the highest order. Miss Lewis pre-.
sumably closed her engagement last
night In 'Forget-Me-Not,' playing Ia
first class house composed Of the
refinement and culture of Helena.
The patronage, however, has been 90
great, that under persuasion, Miss
Lewis has consented to appear ut two
additional performances, 'Odette' to-
morrow Monday night, and Forget
Me-Not' Tuesday. This will be the
last time for Helena TO witness the
greatest living actress in her special
line of characters on any stage. Ii is
not likely she will return here, as her
genius and talent entitle her to all the
benefits. wealth and reputation which
the stage offers only to artistes of the
highest order.

ny Way OF Comparison.

The Helena Independent sums up
the building improvements In the
capital city for 1885 at $496, 800 and
characterizes 1t as the year of greatest
Improvement that Helena has ever
seen. To arrive at this handsome
total the Independent includes the les.
timated cost OF the new court house at
$3.50. 900, but as this imposing structure
is not yet above ground and has not
had to exceed $4,000 put into Its
foundation, IL IL manifest that the
total should be reduced $3.50, 900, leav-
Ing It $500, 900. which by comparison
with our own splendid showing gives
the capital but s42,O more than the
young giant Of the Yellowstone val
ley. 1t is only by such comparisons
that We can properly estimate our
phenomenal growth of last year.

THE TYPO.

Each day we find among our ex-
changes under the head of Necrolo-
gy" some simple, plain, unadorned
announcement like. this:
w. F. Schott, well-known prin-
ter, member of Typographical Un-
ion No. II, and at one time a men,
her of the composition force of
the Item, died on Decemvcr 81, at
San Antonio, Tex, whittier he had
gone for the benefit of his health.
His unassuming ways and snoble
character won HIM many friends
during life, who sincerely mourn
hls loss,-CIty Item.
The printer goes down to his
grave unwept unhonored and un-
sung, save by that limited circle in
which he lived and movedland had
his being. No poet sings his re-
quinn; even the editor of the great
daily leaves to the news editor, the
task of informing the world that
the printerhas passed away.
There is no handlcrah which de-
mands a higher type OF mental pow
er than the typographical art:
The extensive acquaintance OF the
well equipped typo with the En-
glish Language; his perfect famil-
iarity with the technical details of
linguistic production; has close
and accurate knowledge of the art
of punctuation; his critical ability
as to the value of writing, combine
to produce a handicraftsman whose
territory lnvades the realm Of
mental work to very large extent.
The ordinary contributor for the
press, be he poet or prose writer,
would be astonished and in most
cases abashed to hear the very ac-
curate and very just criticism of
his production in the type-setting
room Of the newspaper. His self
estimated greatness would shrink,
and his appreciation of the typo
would vastly increase.
The world does not pay q just
tribute to the worth of the printer,
nor does it fairly estimate hiss sbil-
ities. The humble station to which
it assigns HIM is far below his real
merits, and the mental power re-
occurred of him IN the performance
of his daily task far surpasses the
common estimate formed Of his
requirements. ts.-SArevepors Tsmes.

A rabbit went into-a swamp one

into its nest. The rabbit then de-
termined to blockade his adversary,
and backed himself up against the
door of the nest; but the next mo-
ment he was flying through the

gerous to previous records and
accompanied by a retinue hornets.
Having reached home, he announ-
ced that there was riot, an earth

Very Unfortunate.

When B. F. Jenkins, Jr., was
pardoned last week, the Baton
Rouge correspondent to the Picay-
une sent to that paper for publica-
tion the reasons of Hon. NJ. j.
Cunningham, the Attorney-Gen-
eral, for recommending young Jen-
kins to the Governor as a proper
subject for the reception of execu-
tive clemency.
We have not one word to say
against this pardon, on the contra
ry, we are inclined to believe the
action of the Governor to be emi-
nently, humane and proper; but,
it is extremely unfortunate that
the Attorney-General in giving his
written re ,sons mentioned above
should refer to the social and fam
lily standing of the applicant as one
Of the pregnant considerations
leading to the recommendation for
lenity. The law Is no respecter of
person or caste; and 1t makes not
a particle of difference from a legal
standpoint whether the "famlly
competitions and surroundings of
the applicant are 1.-THE best and
most respectable" or whether they
are lowly and humble and preclu-
ded from all the high claims for
the respect of society.
This has little to do with the
judicial grounds upon which the
application for clemency Is based.
Such a reference must always
meet with a merited rebuke, and
it will be especially rebuked al
this time for the double reason
that 1t has nothing to do with an
application lnsits legal aspects. and
also because of the growing ldes
that this thing of respectability and
social standing has too much to dc
with shielding some criminals from
merlted punishment and the want
of it too much to do with infiictine
upon others harsh and unnecessary
penalties. So much is this the
case that 1t is fast becoming
saying among the people that nc
one is punished IN this State save
''the Irlshman and the nlgger-
The fact that this charge has beer
made and dwelt upon frequently
of late should have made the Hon
Attorney General careful to oml
such q reference as he has made il
his note of reasons to Gov. McEn
cry, unless he was really guided b.
such considerations.
| There is an application now pen
dug now before the Board of Par
dons, which has sttained great no
toriety. After reading last Satur
days Pioayrsne the peoplei hav!
become interested in fixing th
status Of Ford and Murphy. Mucl
difficulty has been experience, how
ever, owing to the prevailing ina
bility to determine the basis OF
which the Attorney-Genera IKE
responsibility. In his next recon
mendation he should give the diff
ferent degrees of "respectability
he has established and the metho
by which respcctability is deter
mined. 1t IS but fair that the pub
lie should know the standard b
which he measures it.
If the Attorney General has DC
! been influenced by these consider
atious of responsibility and famil
: standing, we rciterate again it is e1
; tremely unfortunate that he hs
? made the allusion contained in b
communication to the Govenc
! Ii is especially unfortunate at th
particular tine.-W Weekly Truth.
