do the subject justice. There is money in
it. We could mention the name Of cat

gagged in the business some years ago. and
he is now the heaviest individual taxpayer

amassed Il fortune by sticking to cattle and
taking the outdoor chances Of wintering

cold, bleak winter waste by the people of
the States, who are ignorant Of its climate

Cattle are exported from the Territory by
the thousands yearly. During the closing
year over $4,000 head of fat cattle have
been shipped by railroad to distant mar

the shipments for the year 1886 will be over
10000 head
Horse breeding is no small industry and
it is annually becoming more important
There are located in Southern Montana
some of the largest horse breeding farms
in the Territory. Horses do better here
than any other kind Of live stock Horses
are harder than cattle or sheep, and when

RILEY BOYD, the worthless husband of the
bride who, in despair, committed suicide at
st. Louis, last week, because he had aban-
doned her, is out with a defense. He admits
that he 'drank some, and it was evident that
the child-wife was on the verge Of restitution.
When he left he gave her the muniicent sum
Of twenty-five dollars, and kindly told her to
go home to her relatives. Her pride prevent
ed this, and she sought relief in death. Boyd
says that, had be had any intimation Of her
intention to take her life, he ''would have
lived with her until death, no matter what
might have been and is the cause of the sep
a~ration." He proceeds to say that he will say
no more, "unless driven or goaded in sheer
justice, not to himself but to his gray-haired
mother, to make a complete statement"
With this implied dishonor upon the fame of
his dead wife, he is content to rest. His in
famous defense is not an original one. The
same contemplate course has been followed
by others too cowardly to defend the honor of
the woman who has been too good to be a
wife to such brutes.

the White House they were Mortified and in

seen Charlotte before, and those who are ac-
quainted with her will, sympathize with the
as he might naturally presume her colleagues
to he. She is a holy terror.

THE Boston Advertiser says: Experience
of the New Hampshire insurance law does not
bear out the predictions of the underwriters,
that incendiarism would increase under its
operation. On the contrary, the number of
fires has decreased 60 per cent. The infer
ence is, that the difficulty Of getting insur-
ance since the foreign companies withdrew
from the State has forced people to exercise
unusual precautions against fire."

The usual weekly scandal, involving mem
bers of the Salvation Army, is at hand. A
great big loafer named Fegley, a major in
the band at Wellsville, N. Y, and a widower,
recently made love to and married a slip of a
child but fourteen years of age. He escaped
the indignation of the populace by flying
from the place. There are more scandals in
volving the Salvation Army than the same
number of s~aloon-keepers. 1t is a ~senseless
and sacrilegious nuisance that should be
abated.

SPEAKING of what it is pleased to consider
as the growth of free-trade ideas, the New

trusted to take ideas with them and to become

ATToRNEY-GENERAL GARLAND is very
mysterious in regard to the steps he means to
take towards relieving himself and the ad
ministration from a delicate situation. To
step down and out would seem to be about the
right thing, but this, he says, he will not do.
Perhaps he means to make a bonfire of his
Pan-electric stock and invite the country to
look at the c~onfagration.

In the schedule of receipts / desire to call
your special attention to the item of contribu-
tons from the different posts through the de-
partment for the purpose of assisting in the
erection of an everlasting memorial to our illus
trious comrade and commander. U. s. Grant.
Believing that it is proper, / have credited each
post contributing to the grant fund
in amounts as follows, and in rotation as re-
ceived.
The total receipts for term just ending are
nearly two thousand dollars less than for the
term prior to this. The disbursements are over
two thousand dollars less than the term just
prior to this one. The charter fees are nearly
five hundred dollars less. while the percapita
received this term is nearly nine hundred dollars
in excess of the term of 1884.
In order to expedite the work of the resolu-
tons committee, a suggestion was adopted that
comrades report suggestions requiring consider
alton. Pursuant to this, a resolution was
offered by Comrade Cole, of LaPorte, to the
effect that the rule granting past post COM
manders the privileges of the floor be rescinded,
as by reason of the privilege thus granted the
delegations to department encampments were
becoming too large to be easily handled. Com.
rade Kercheval, Of Indianapolis, presented a
resolution condemning the management of the
Soldiers Orphans Home at Knightstoyn, and
demanding the separation Of the two homes now
run conformity. Referred without reading.
Comrade Power, of Terre Haute, submitted the
action of the Indiana Soldiers Pensions Associa-
ton, demanding universal pensions, and asked
for the encampments endorsement. Referred.
The introduction of the following resolution,
by Comrade Anderson. of Huntington, was re-
ceived with applause, and, on motion of Rev. j.
Fl. Ford, of New Castle, was unanimously adopt
ed by a rising vote:
Whereas. It has come TO the knowledge of tho grand

AN unqualified outrage was committed upon
a citizen of Indianapolis under color of law
on Tuesday night, which is the second offense
Of the kind that has transpired within a short
time. Officers of the law permit themselves
to be made tools of by designing persons for
malicious reasons, and men nave been reused
out Of their beds at night, in one case the man
being compelled to go to the station-house and
remain there until bail was provided, while
in the other case the man is put to the hui
initiation of a search of his room upon a foul
suspicion. This sort Of business should be
peremptorily stopped. In each Of these cases
any one, with a moments consideration, could
have known that malice was most probably at
the bottom of the affair, and the officers did
themselves no credit by their indif-
the instigators to at least partially
accomplish their purpose. The very fact
that warrant is sought at that time of night
is prima facie evidence of something being
wrong, and in case Of a reasonably well-known
citizen, the Mayor should certainly demand
other proof than the mere assertion Of some
presumed prosecutor. The law is intended
for the protection, not the persecution, of peo-
pie, and we cannot speak too strongly of
the uses to which it is now and then prosti-
tuted. A suit for good round damages against
the city might tend to bring officers to a more
serious estimate Of the responsibility Of their
actions. Some time a man will be victimized
who will not complacently remain quiet, but
who will test the question whether he has any
rights that even officers of the law are bound
to respect.

As an old Gampaigner Col Stukely found
no difficulty in awaking at any hour Of the
morning at which he wished to rise He
needed to victimize no servant who must
rise still earlier to call him-nor did he re
quire to have his courage stimulated by a
cup of hot tea. He went to his bed room
directly the detective had retired to the
servants quarters, and he told himself as
he lay down to rest that he would be astir
at 4 80 o'clock next morning; not with any
idea OF cub-hunting, but with the serious
intention of getting an interview with Mrs
Jaker before detective or search warrant
could reach her cottage. Before bidding
Miss Darnel good night he had contrived
to ascertain from that lady the exact stu
alton of the cottage. 1t lay within mile
of the park gates, in particularly lonely
district given over to agriculture. Half n
dozen small farms had been rolled into
one, and the homesteads belonging to them
had been pulled down or turned into labor
ers' cottages. The Takers domicile was
situated at the end of long lane, just
where the uttermost limit of cultivated
land met the edge Of wild stretch of
