THE WISH is THE FATHER.

The Courier learns that u S. Attorney
Smith has been Instructed 10 arrest
every man cutting timber from the pub
lie domain. The Courier, at this time,
and while the Repu blican party is in its
present deplorable condition, is liable to
learn" great deal that is not strictly
true. No farmer or miner in Montana
has been molested, and can cut all the
timber he needs from the government
domain. The Inter Mountain, by the
means of bogus kilograms, circulated
similar story to that promulgated by the
Courier, and before the ink had dried
upon the paper, Republican timber
agent denounced the telegram as bogus,
and malicious lie from top to bottom.
Mr.. Sparks desires to put an end to this
wholesale robbery being perpetrated by
such corporations as the Montana I'm
provement company, that the actual set
tier and the bona fide miner may have
sufficient timber for cord wood and
building purposes. In this, Sparks is
right. The Courier cannot throw sand
in the eyes of anyone by such palpable
untruths as it utters under the heading
of Contemplate Conspiracy" and hes
not shown its usual crafty cunning by
giving publicity to such statements SO
long before election. In two years
from now, the people will rise up and
give Sparks the praise that is his due.
de is the only agent that has ever stood
between greedy corporations and the
people. He is the only land commits
sioner who cannot get position as attor-
ney for some railroad company when he
goes ont of Office. For our part, we are
glad that the Republicans have made
Sparks the great ISSUE of this campaign,
hereafter we shall heartily endorse him,
confidently believing him to be true,
honest man, free from a sordid wish or
Unjust desire.

That Bet.
DEMOCRAT

The bet of Geo. Haldorn, a Republic
an attorney of Bozeman, who is stump
ing for Col. Sanders, with Joe Keeney
of the same town, about which some
newspaper talk has arisen, happened to
be witnessed by an Independent report
er. Keeney offered to bet $500 on San
ders election, ard Haldorn said he
would take him for $50, which sum was
put up on each side in the hands of Cy
Mounts, Haldorn giving his check. Hal
dorm then said he would bet $500 on
Toole, wrote out his check for that
amount and put it in Mounts hands,
but Keeney said he would see further
about that bet, requesting Haldorn to
leave the money there until morning,
which the latter did. Mr.. Haldorn
afterward, conversing with the Indepen.
dent reporter, said that, while as Re-
publican he wonld do what party fealty
required of HIM In the canvass, he was
betting to win, and therefore wagerde
his money on ToUle. There was no talk
of any arrearages of attorneys fees at
that time.
The independent has card from Mr.
Haldorn, saying, in relation to his bet
that he he made it with Keeney only
berause the latter owed him $50 and he
wished to get it into the hands of a
third party, where he could levy upon
il at suit at law for the debt.-Indepen-
dent.

The great apostle of Temperance, Fran
els Murphy, is conducting a series of
meetings in Sharon and on the subject of
prohibition legislation says: "No law in
theworld ever made man sober or indus
trious. If denunciations were of any
avail the world would have been re-
formed long ago. The children are left
too much to the care of the State, and
the freside is neglected. Prohibitory
legislation is delusion." The import
ance of these statements is apparent
when it is considered that Murphy's
word is law to hundreds of voters in the
country in which he is speaking What
Mr.. Murphy says is true and at the same
time he displeases the Prohibitionists be-
cause he tells them that they cannot
make incorporate people temperate by
legislation. No sane man but that will
believe this assertion. Temperance can
not be forced upon an irdiyidual or upon
community against their willis.

class company will pay Bozeman her

Read what the Courier. journal saws
about her.
Miss Katie Putnam played again last
night before the largest audience which
has assembled here this season. If we
may except the first act, which is in the
nature of a prologue to what followed
the play throughout was one of deep in
trest, and was well sustained by the en-.
tire company. Miss Putnam, in the
character of Lena, added new laurels to
ner already well established fame as an
actress in this city. Flaws may be, and
often are picked in the playing Of the
most finished artists, but the best means
after all. of the judgement of the merits
of an actor or an actress, is by enquirine
of the public. An artist who touches
the hearts, of the public, who satisfies its
desire for amusement, possesses merit
whether it can be demonstrated by the
value of criticism or not. This faculty
Miss Putnam possesses in a degree fal
above the average and to an extent that
entities her to rank among the stars Of
the American stage. Applying this rule
to the performance of last night she is
entitled TO unstinted praise"

DECEPTION DETECTED.

Andrew F. Burleigh is now going
around the country making speeches for
Col. Sanders, and at the same time Bit
terly abusing Sparks. Last December
Burleigh wrote letter to Sparks, copy
OF which is herewith attached, and
shows plainly that he is as two-faced as
his actions here some months ago had
led us to believe:
please accept my thanks for the copy
of your admirable report. l have read it
carefully and endorse it fully. It is true
as truth itself. 1t goes to the very root
of the curse which has been permitted
to settle down upon tbs people of this
country, and deprive them Of their legal
rights by the unauthorized conduct OF
your predecessors and other misguided
officers of the government in their
"lamb-like" submission to the demands
of railroad thieves aud other "land
sharks" / fully indorse it as full and
manly exposure of past abuses and un-
paralleled frauds, and also of the clear
and only way by which they may be
guarded against in the future. Some
where in the Old Testament one Of Is
rael's prophets was commanded by the
Almighty to LAY Justice to The line aid
righteousness to the plummet.' | think
you must have read the text before
writing your report"

tastefully decorated as was possible, in
the short time allotted to them for the
purpose The material was all bought
and paid for by the Democratic central
committee, the stage was built at the
expense Of that committee and paid for
by them, the flags used belonged to Mr..
Bogert and Walter Cooper. No less
than eight democratic ladies and ten
gentlemen worked hard to prepare the
b1ilding.
Several days have passed, and not one
cent has been paid toward the expenses
by the Republican executive committee,
and not one word of thanks, 30 far as
we can learn has been rendered. Even
the mighty editor of the Courier abused
the Democracy from their own platform,
and no notice was taken of him or his
harmless prattle, but when he makes
his unwarranted and cowardly assault
on the Democratic central committee
we feel called upon to state that the
committee is paying all bills contracted
by them, as soon as presented. We are
satisfied that all the Democrats interest
ed were glad to accommodate their Re-
publican friends. but think that their
organ is not repaying that kindness in
the spirit that the occasion really de-
mands. No wonder Col Sanders said
less hard things about the Demo-
Gratis than he usually does, for he no
doubt felt much embarrassed and could
not abuse those, the fruits Of whose la
bors contributed to some extent to his
comfort for the hour, which is more
than can be said for some of the other
speakers. Verify, they had more gall.

CREASE ENOUGH.

The Courier "never sacrifices its self-
respect, either for political or n1ercenary
purposes" The Courier lost all the re-
spect 1t ever had when it swallowed San
ders and portion of the Republican
ticket, as we will proceed to prove by
quoting from its issue directly after the
convention met:
"The Republicans made two or three
excellent nominations, and our only re-
greet is that We cannot say as much of the
entire ticket. 1t may be that the Courier
is peculiarly constituted, but there isn't
grease enough IN the county to besmear
the ticket in its entirety So as TO make
the gorging process tolerable The Cou-
rier is Republican paper. but it is not of
the yellow dog" species. 1t will not
knowingly support person for Office
who is manifestly unfit for the position.
We have certainly had enough Of this
kind of monkey business in Gallatin
county already, and we see no reason
why the Courier should be party to the
crime OF its continuance"

4 glance at the county records dis
closes the important fact tfat the Repub-
lIcsn board of county commissioners
iaid W. W. Wylie, the expert appointed
by Ex-Judge Cobnrn, 81 $50; and for ex-
mining the county records, paid Craw.
ford $500. The sheriff's fees for the
past two years under the salary law, was
upwards of $1,000. Where does the
boasted economy come in? An attempt
was made to disgrace and accomplish
the political downfall of such men as
W. f. Sloan, which cost the county over
81 500, which. after all the insinuation
and open rejoicing Of few Republicans,
resulted in a thorough vind.cation Of
Mr.. Sloan and his associates; the official
report showing that Sloan was entitled
TO over $50 from undercharges. This is
from the report Of the board Of county
commissioners, and has not nor cannot
be successfully contradicted.

Col. May, of the Republican executive
committee, in reply to an article which
he had not or viii not read. for the rea-
son that it was published in a Demo-
cratic paper, says that Joe LaBrie, owner
of the rink, had accepted $ll.50 from
him as half OF the expense of building
the stage at the skating rink. Now, the
question is, why did LaBrle accept this
money? The Democrats agreed to pay
for the work which they had gotten
done, and allowed the Republicans to
use. They are the ones who should
have been paid. LaBrie has not called
for his pay and cannot be found. This
looks very much like scheme to SIAN
der honest men, ard nothing during this
campaign has caused such a bitterness
of feeling as this unprovoked and I'M
warranted assault.

ing earned it, as any other citizen does.
They don't want the coal company to

In view of the fact that orr q. C. very
unfairly takes advantage Of an error in
the CHRONICLE, and proceeds, without
good AID sufficient proof to lenonnce us
as an indecent and dishonest publisher.
and besides grossly malignes the charac.
tiers of those who compose the Demo
cratic Central Committee, upon the very
flimsy testimony of an irresponsible per.
son, we are determined that the Insult
shall not 90 UNDECIDED, and herewith ar
raign the editor Of the Courier, for caiol-
ing the citizens of Timberline simply for
Knights Of Labor vote, which he hopes
will place him in the legislature: and as
a proof of our assertions we repuL fish an
infamous article which appeared in the
Courier in June, 1885,
"It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say that
an unusual mum Der of criminal cases have
originated in Timberline during the past
twelve months, at serious loss to Gala
yin county. But the fact may as well be
acknowledged that that camp is an ex-
pensive luxury for Gallatin county. 1t
is also becoming painfully apparent that
a worse condition of morals exist in Tim
berlIne than was ever before known in
Southeastern Montana. If reports are
in any degree reliable, the community,
as a whole, is one of the most democrat
lied, depraYed, debauched and diabolical
to be found in the Northwest. Scenes
have occurred there during the past few
months which would put to the blush
the most degraded and depraved resi-
dents of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which
are wholly unfit for publication In any
reputable journal. 1t is said that there
are men and families in the camp who
are wholly unaccustomed to civilized life
and who are perfect strangers to the or
binary amenities of refined society. We
do not pretend to say who is responsible
for their presence here, but the fact that
the Northern Pacific Coal Company has
given the most of them employment is
sufficient to indicate that that company,
to certain extent, at least, is response
BILE for their presence in our otherwise
intelligent and law abiding county. We
are free to concede the fact that the resi-
dents of Timberline are human beings
although frequent reports from that Sec
ton seem adverse to such a generous
concession-and that with reasonable OPP
portunities they would behave them
selves as respectable citizens; but fac is
and circumstances seem against them at
present, and they must show wonder
full improvement to entitle them to ordin-
airy consideration and considerare re-
spect.
In this connection, perhaps it would
not be amiss to suggest that two or three
of the missionary evangelists, who are
spending their sweetness on the desert
air of Bozeman, might find wide field
of usefulness at Timberline, by engaging
in the laudable work of civilizing and
the heather of that be-
nighted camp, and turning many from
the error of their ways. The Masters
is to go out into the highways
and hedges and compel them to come in"

The Helena Heiald and Bozeman COu-
rier seem to be wonderfully agitated
about Sam Words speeches at Helena
and Bozeman, and both apparently fail
to realize the fact that Mr.. Word is not
running for Office. His long residence
in Montana, his retentive memory and
careful observations place Linn in posi-
ton to enlighten the people interested
in this campaign as to the record of the
great war horse" Col. Sanders, since he
has been in Montana. Mr.. Words state
ments are all true, and he was careful to
state that the proofs would be forthcom-
ing if required. His reference to Tim
berline matters was most eloquent, and
was received with rapturous and contin-
Lous applause. Over fifty of the Timber
line miners were in the hall and express
ed themselves freely to the effect that
his speech was the finest that they had
listened to during the campaign.

The Courier attempts to read the
CHRONICLE lesson upon "honest jour-

Courier is honorabIe-except when ii
defames the Democratic central commit

upon the business integrity of honest
men. Except when it makes an an

on another, that Sparks intends to arrest
every man who cuts timber on the pub
lie domain, and cannot substantiate one
iota of its statements or prove them by
a single fact. This is honest Journal

While the President was the guest of
the Old Dominion for a few hours on
Thursday, there was considerable COM
ment in political and social circles as to
the cause of a change of program which
excluded Mrs. Cleveland and the ladies
of the Cabinet who had intended to go
to Richmond. To some extent the i'm
preston prevailed that the daughter of
Jefferson Davis, who was to have assist
ed in receiving the Presidential party,
was the trouble in the wsy; that the
President and his wife put politics and
society together and concluded it was a
political and social recognition the AID
ministration could not permit. At the
White House all such ideas were scont-
ed as preposterous. The trip to Rich
inond was to be a very hurried, fatigu-
ing one, and as the party had to return
late that night it was decided at the
Caoinet meeting that the ladies should
remain at home. Some Of Mrs. Cleye-
lands friends were much annoyed that
the matter should have given rise to 80
