rOOLE's TlMBERLISE SPEECH.

A great deal has been said about

at the time, we are now prepared to
give the concluding portion of the
speech, which is as follows:
'There is something particularly re
voliing IN this kind Of intimidation to
generous and humane nature. Remem-
Der lat it is only corrupt man that
can be bribed but an honest man may
be intimidated. The crime is all on the
part Of the intimidator. The law is so
kind to human weakness and frailty,
that it holds him euiltless who has been
coercetl by superior power. Where in
limitation is attempted, can conceive
Of no spectacle more touching and path
etc than than the struggle of the high
minded man against the coercive power.

As TO SCHOOLS.

One of the most important features Of

will the vast area Of school lands-now
living idie-be broneht into the market
aud fulfil the mission for which they
were set apart, by assisting in the main
tenance of our public schools. Higher
schools and colleges will be built, and
the children who are now sent east and
west to acquire an education, will receive
equal good instruction in home institu-
tions-an at the same time have thead
vantages Of home influence. This is no
light matter to consider. We are all
aware that the time is past and gone
when those lacking in education can
hope to climb t. even the middle round
of the ladder of fame. This is also Of
vital importance to the laboring class.
Their children naturally inherit taste
for the same vocation, and it is only
when the hand IS controlled by well
disciplined mind that perfection in man
ual labor is reached. a noted writer
very ,rnlv saws that new country must
depend entirely upon self for culture;
and if, when admitted into the Union,

GETTING DESPERATE.

A disnatch was received at Missopla
ON the Sth INST, stating that Sparks
spies had given information which will
lead to the arrest OF nearly every pros
pector and miner in Montana, who has
cut and used less than inch iimi'er for
shaft "lagping" since Sparks issued his
special ruling and instructions on that
subject. This will seriously affect pros
pectors in mining counties, and may in
cluAe the governor of the territory as
we'll as nearly all prospectors in Butte
and vicinity.-Courier.
The above is taken from the Inter
Mountain, in which office it originated
and was evidently written, and goes to
show the desperate condition in which
the Republic party finds itself. AT
the time of its first publication the
Miner interviewed NJ. J. Haley, timber
agent for the United States land depart
ment for Idaho and Montana-the only
agent the department has in the terrific
RES named-who unhesltatinely pro-
nounceo. it lie from BEGINNING to end.
He also stated that no information Of
any character, which could possibly be
construed or contorted into the shadow
of basis for such dispatch, had been
given to the department lie further
declared thst Sparks had no asrIes" in
Montana or Idaho, that he himself is
the only authorized agent Of the Gov
Land Department in eitherter-
ritory. From information elsewhere OBJ
tanned, the Miner isled to believe that
the lying dispatch is one Of those origip-
al emanations Of the brain for which
Col. Sanders is distinguished, and if it
cannot be traced directly to bis door it

From one who was present we learn
that Hon. Sam Word made one of the
most telling speeches Of the campaign
Friday night sin Helena. The opera
house was crowded to its utmost capa-
CITY, and from beginning to close the
speaker and audience were entirely en-.
rapport He touched upon issues that
have not as yet been brought forward
IN this campaign. and whitening sarcasm
and witty and humorous portrayals Of
the incidents Of the campaign, literally
''peeled the bark off" with every blow.
The gentleman was il his Eappiest vein,
and with his splendid enunciation kept
the audience epell-bound for two hours.
The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and
indications are that even Lewis and
Clarke county, which Is supposed 4. be
the stronghold Of Sanders, will give
Toole majority.

The special legislation law passed last
winter and which applies to this Terri

that the law is not a good one, for what

One Of the remarkable articles pub
lished during this campaign comes from
Billings, by the way of the Gazette,
newspaper supporting only Sanders. The
Gazette informs its readers that the
Northern Pacific railway did not use CO.
ercion two years ago, and that the men
voted as they saw fit. The Gazette is
either very ignorant of true facts or else
has yentured, in its zeal for Col. Sanders
to make statement that no other pa
per in the Territory hashad or viii have
the hardihood to assert. Right in Gala
tin county there are men, and plenty of
them, who have heard railroad men say
that they were ordered to vote for Know
les, and that with the orders came The
election ticket. More than tbs; it is as
serted. and upon good authority, that
railroad men were voted during the day
at more than one precinct.
