he assessment of each county in 1887.

It will be seen from this list that there
were last year only five counties with a
larger valuation than that which Cascade
rolled up this year. The average valua-
ton of the counties was likewise consi.!-
crably less than ours. As all these coun-
ties are solvent and manage to pay their
way, it may be safely assumed that Cas-
cade will come out ahead, especially as
she has no exceptional expenditures and
is all the time increasing in wealth.
The tiourishing state of our county fin
ances will enable us to settle the Choteau
and Meagher county claims by warrants.
The amount of these claims is small com
pared with the wealth of the county. Full
authority exists to issue bonds, which will
enable the county to redeem the warrants
and thus, perhaps, effect some saving in
the interest. By such means our county
will be placed on good financial basis.
She will be in a position to undertake all
needful public works and be able to pro-
mote the welfare Of every precinct within
her limits. m"" 0"~ "-

The license system which Major Ed.
wards proposes for Dakota forms a weak
plank in his platform. 1t is not popular
in Montana, where it is little more than
an expedient 1t does not exist except to
limited extent in the east, where it is
imposed on hacks and wagons to estab-
fish supervision rather than to raise reve-
nue.. The licenses to which we refer are
those imposed on professional and bust
ness men and not those on saloons. In a
new region such as Dakota there should
be no tax on labor such as a license i'm
poses. 1t is doubtful if the United States
supreme court would sustain the impost,
because an American citizen ought to be
free to sell goods and practice law or
medicine in any part of the republic.
Something to that effect was decided
when the commercial travellers license in
this territory was declared unconstitu-
tional. The American citizen must not
be checked in the "pursuit of happiness"

The democrats Of Choteau county hold
their convention to-day. There is likely
to be good deal Of rivally for the sever
al nominations, and particularly for that
of treasurer. David G. Browne and Ihos,
]. Todd are the aspirants, the latter Of
whom was successful at the Benton pri
maries. The nomination Of joint repre-
sentative with Cascade county seems to
be conceded to Judge Garrett of the town
of Choteau. B. F. O'Neal Of Dupuyer is
a candidate for sheriff, and has the best
chance of securing the nomination. A.
E. Rogers will be renominated for clerk
and recorder without opposition, and will
witt of Meagher county in "holding
down" this office. J. w. Tattan will in
like measure succeed himself as probate
judge, while new man may be nonina-
ted for assessor. There is good material
to select from, and strong ticket will
doubtless be the result of to-day's dellber-
atoms OF the Choteau democracy.

BARKER AND NEIHART.
Mike Larkin Brings Good News From
Both Camps.

Mike Larkin Brings Good News From
Both Camps.
Mike Larkin, the we'll known mining
man Of the territory, arrived in Helena
on Monday from Barker. Mr.. Larkin is
enthusiastic over the future of the camp,
| and thinks it the coming camp of the ter
ritory. There is an immense ore deposit
in that district, numerous mines which
have good paying ore in sight and num-
berless small properties which need only
capital to make them fine paying proper
ties. The formations of this district are
blanket and fissure veins, and as fine a lot
of carbonates as have ever been discover
ed are here in abundance. The Pride of
the West is perhaps the mine of the dis
trict which shows up better now than any
! IN the group. The owners, Messrs May,
Oatey, Goslin Il Arlington, shipped a
Car load of ore to Helena recently which
went to Silverman's assay works. An as
say was made and the ore run So ounces.
The ore was then shipped to Wickes for
reduction. This assay is the average of
the mine, the same for IA feet which is
displayed. Numerous assays Of rich
specimens have been made which ran in
to the hundreds. The T. W. mine which
is owned by Williams q Switzerland also
shipped to Helena several tons Of ore,
which assayed 10 ounces. Other ore also
came in which has not yet been assayed,
but which will assay equally as we'll us
the samples noted. ~
The Pride of the West is making many
Improvements, putting in tracks with
heavy 7 rails, and before long will be one
of the heaviest shippers in the territory.
There are numerous other mines in this
district, but the ones mentioned are ship
ping ore, but many owners have ore on
the dump. Wright & Edwards have a
good mine. The mines belong to the
Clendenin Mining and Milling COM
pany are good mines and so is the Bouton
mine. m..M..
The Neihart mining camp contiguous
to the Barker district, is also showing up
we'll. The Broadwater group has any
amount Of ores which can be mined at a
good profit. August 20, there was big
strike made in the Wyandotte, which is
owned by Wilson, Northup & Burrell.
The Wyandotte is an extension Of the
Cosmopolitan. The Tiger mine in this
district is also showing up well, and is a
valuable property. The Tiger is an ex-
tension Of the 7. W., and is owned by Pat
Hurley and n Mr.. Comfy, an attorney of
Milwaukee. Mr.. Larkin owns number
of valuable mines in which he is endeav-
oring to get capitalists to invest, as it re-
quires money to work them, He is en-
thusiastic over the future Of Barker, and
as he is a shrewd, level-headed man, a
good miner and manager, what he says
| can be relied upOn M#.N. @Y.,.

THE CAMPAIGN LIAR.

The campaign liar is among us, plying
his vocation as busily as any of his kind
He has chosen the confding Herald as
the medium Of his veracious announce
menus. 1t is the weak point of that jour
MAJ to credit anything bad about the
democracy when it comes from republi-
e ca1 source. There is just enough Of the
for granted all reports of democratic
feuds and democratic factions. The Great
Falls Ananias first announces that demo-
Gratis are dissatisfied with the county
ticket. This is simply playing the old
game OF trying to cause dlstrust by su :
costing it. Ills well known that the demo
cratic ticket meets with hearty approval
from the democratic party as we'll as from
the public at large. There were no
"bosses;" no plotting. The primaries
were orderly and fair. The convention
was conducted squarely and openly,
The candidates were nominated fairly
and received the untramelled approval
OF the convention which was composed
OF strong, earnest men who want nothing
but fair play and are determined to secure
1t until the votes are counted.
"fhe endorsement of the carpet bag
gers raises strong protest" says the cam.
paign liar. This puts Ananias to shame,
The resolution to which he refers in this
political slang is as follows;
Resolved, That the democratic terri
tonal administration, under the able
executive lead of Governor Leslie. is en-
Titled to all praise for the careful and
eHlclent manner in which they have con-
dncted the affairs of the territory. No
territory in the union stands as bioh
financially and otherwise as Montana.
the result of almost continuous demo.
cratic rule.
We assert that this resolution expresses
fully and clearly the sentiments of the
people and that there has not been
single objection raised to it. There ara
few republicans that would even object
to it. Our people are grateful to Cover.
nor Leslie and the other otticiala who
nave conducted the affairs of the territory
with success and have even helped their
traducers by manifesting good will in
word and deed for Great Falls, The ano-
gestion is sneakish and hypocritical TINT !
"Go9ernor Leslie's son who was member
OF the committee on platform, is credited
with inspiring the resolution" As n
matter OF fact, the resolution in Question
was drawn up and submitted to the com
mlttee without the slightest hint from
Mr. Leslie, who must know that his
fathers administration speaks for itself
and, like good wine, needs no BUSH
The campaign liar speaks of Mr.. Him
as "kicker' with the cowardice which
his occupation implies. Here he is also
wide OF the mark. Mr.. Ulm has accented
the nomination and will be in the fe,d
