THE TAX SUIT.

Judge Mcconnell has rendered his de-
clslon in the case of the Great Falls
ToWnslte company ct al. against the treas
urer OF Cascade county, which is the title
of the tax suit between certain tax PAYERS
OF Great Falls and the county of Choteau.
The plaintiffs asked for an injunction to
prevent the sale of their property for de-
linquent taxes, and the restraining order
was practically granted. The decision
by Judge Mcconnell is as follows:
"rhe injunction will not be dissolved,
but it will be modified. l hold that the
treasurer of Cascade county has no author
ity to collect that tax by virtue of that in
strument upon the arguments In that
complaint. But | will modify the in
junction, and the decree may be drawn to
this effect, that upon his receiving, if the
defendants see fit to, a certified COPY of

the original assessment roll, as sent to the
recorders office of Choteau county from
the assessor, that the taxes as shown to be
due by that roll, uninterfered with by the
board of county commissioners, he shall
be authorized to collect, as well as the
taxes assessed by school district No. for
special school purposes, and decree to
that effect, may be drawn; but as to the
remainder of the injunction, it stands"
This is victory for the tax payers OF
Great Falls. They have never objected
to or sought to avoid paying taxes accord
ing to the assessment returned by them,
but they did most decidedly object to the
unreasonable ''raise" and to contributing
to the fund of school district No. 1, when
their property is in another district. The
decision is all that could be desired by
the tax payers of this city and it is now
left to Choteau county if they see fit to
bring legal proceedings against each indi-
vidual tax payer to collect the raised tax
es and unlawful school levy. This is not
likely to be very successful proceeding
and will hardly be undertaken even by q
county as found of law suits as Choteau
seems to be.

Secretary Bayard pursues the right
course when he maintains that American
citizens of French birth must not be held
to military service in France. He asserts
that their citizenship must not be ques-
toned by the French courts and in fact
that they must be accorded in all respects
the same rights as native born citizens.
"You will further say" writes the secre-
tary to Minister McLane, shat if subjec-
ton to forced military service of citizens
whose cases you report is based upon an
assumption that they are not citizens of
the United States, this department asks for
their immediate release, and for proper
compensation for the losses which they
have received by such detention. Itcan-
not be admitted that American citizens,
not charged with any crime, should be de-
tanned under arrest for even single day
after their proofs of citizenship have been
presented. In cases like this, the United
States can never admit the propriety of
submitting to the ordinary delays of judi
cial action.' These orders have the right
ring and should be made the national
policy in dealing with all countries, as
we'll as France.

The republican states with their electc
raj votes were as follows.

The democratic pluralities in the sew
eral states ranged from Loaf in New York
to 1888 in Texas. The republican plu-
rality was smallest in Nevada, 615-and
largest in Pennsylvania, where it was
81,019.
In geographical distribution the demo-
cratic vote was made up of 1853 from the
south, 6 from New England (Connecticut),
10 from the west Qndiana) and 45 from
the middle states, comprising 36 from
New York and from New Jersey.
The republican votes comprised those
OF all the northern states except the four
the democratic column, namely, Con
necticut, Indiana, New Jersey and New
York.
1t may be inferred that the fight will be
thickest in the four states Just named.
Connecticut was republican from 1860
except in 1876 and 1884 Indiana was
also republican until 1876; in 1880 it
voted for Garfield; in 1884 for Cleveland,
who had plurality Of 6,512. New Jer-
sey went democratic in 1864, 1868, 1876.
1880 and 1884. 1t went republican in
1872. New York has cast republican
votes since 1860, except in 1876 and 1884.
The plurality in the latter year was 1,O47.
We refer only to presidential elections.
From these details the presidential cal
culators may form opinions without poll
Ing street or railroad cars. People may
also learn to bet inteligently, but it is
better not to bet at all,

Reports from Oregon wool-growers to
the American Wool Reporter give the
average weight of fleeces in different
counties at from OK to pounds. Weth-
ers generally sell after shearing at SO per
head and stock sheep at $3.50 per head.
In Crook county it costs seven cents per
head for shearing; ~ to 2 cents for
freight by team to the railroad. The
herding costs from $50 to $40 per month.
The best wool sells at from 20 to % cents
per pound at the Dalles. Buyers come
from Portland and San Francisco. The
sheepmen are emphatically opposed to
free wool. One writes: "Democrats and
republicans are opposed to the reduction
of the tariff on wool" Another says.
"Give us protection and we can live; give
us free trade and we are gone up" A
third writes: "With respect to the duty
on wool, although democrats, we are pro-
tectionists."

ensures the full market value. The lead
ing eastern and Chicago houses which
will send buyers here will be in apositlon
to pay the highest price current, because
the freight rates will be low, the trans
portation direct and quick, and the bank
ing accommodation good for both seller
and buyer. Instead Of the delays incl
dental to the river route, business will be
transacted promptly and satisfactorily.
In buying supplies the wool-growers
will find this the best market. Our en-
terprising merchants have new stocks OF
hardware, dry goods, groceries and drugs
which they have bought at first ha$d in
the largest markets and procured at low
rates for freight. They are prepared to
give wool-growers any accommodation
which they may require until they have
turned their staple into cash. .......
The woolgrowers of northern Montana
will find here Mr.. Paris Gibson and 9TH
ers who are conversant with their bust
ness and hold them in warm regard.
From them and the public at large they
will receive cordial welcome. Nothing
will be left undone to render their deal
ings satisfactory. .m..u

Tt will he seen nv orr tnlao ranhic dis

1t will be seen by our telegraphic dis
patches that Mrs. Holmes has revealed
the secret which Mrs Eckert confided to
her. That secret is that Mrs. Eckert her
self murdered the unfortunate liquor
dealer, John DEM, on the night Of Octo-
Der 80, 1879. This confession corresponds
with the surmise that the person for
whom John Dem went into the cellar to
procure liquor was an acquaintance, since
otherwise he would not have gone to that
trouble. 1t also confirms the supposition
that the person knew he had money and
that he kept it hid in the cellar. The
other details which we give reveal fright
full remorse on the part Of the murderess,
who by some strange fascination lived
near the scene of the crime and was seen
last summer watching what she called the
''accursed spot" .....=.
