Be careful how you talk to the telephone girls. A legal decision has recently been made in Germany of consequence to tele- phone operators. An unfortunate telephone user lost his temper at being kept waiting by the central office, and when explanations were made he told the telephone official per telephone to shut his gab and not lie about it. The court gave the merchant sixty marks fine and twelve days in jail as warning against libelous use of scientific conven- ience

The judges of election overruled the challenge, but the plaintiff hss carried the case to the Supreme court of theN State and it comes on in the May term. The Ghsistiar

Fun in a Drug Store.
| Written for the LEADER


Tie hour was midnight; the streets
were nearly deserted, but having occasion
to g to Il drug store, one which was
somewhat isolated from the more busi-
ness'like portion Of the town, the writer
when about to place his hand upon the
knob to ring the night bell, was surprised,
plussed, dumfounded, startled and
amused when the following audible
words emanated from the interior of the
store:
"Iello Ellar' ella who?" "Elecam-
pane" Swell, what do want,' spoke up
a feeble voice. III want to know what

then a box of pills ratified with merri-

Fred Douglas, the representative and
spokesman Of the cOlored race, appeals
strongly to the inherent spirit of equal
justice and love of fair play which is typ
ical of the true American. lie shows
by unnstakahle facts and figures that the
colored republicans Of the south do not
suffer alone from the crimes of southern
bourbonism. From his cariully complied
summary it is learned that while Kansas
sends out only seven representatives to
congress on basis of 151, ,971 votes,
Mississippi sends out an equal number
of congressman on IL basis of but 44,;557
votes. On a basis of but 27,3775 votes,
Georgia sends ten representatives to CON
gress while Connecticut, with 123, ,Ol5votes,
send but four From four districts South
Carolina sends out four representatives on
17,431 votes. while Ohio sends out four
from four districts on Il basis Of l2G. .152
votes. The third district of Ohio sends
one representative only on ii basis Of 3G,
597 votes 9,2222. All of this is accom-
plished, let it be noted, by one of the
most aggressive and glaring systems Of
fraud ever originated by minds deeply
versed in political chicanery. The North
is defrauded by an unjust suppression of
republican votes in the south; in other
words, the negro of Mississippi must vote,
if he votes at all, at the muZZel Of /; shot

that eli, during the sitting of the con
yentiol. at Chicago aud found the secre
tary OF war very confident OF republican
success this fall. In reply to Il question
he gave the following reasons for the
faith that is in him:
SIN the first place, think we shall get
back most Of the muywumps. They left
the republican patty because they dis
trusted it. Now, on the same prnci pal
il they are as honest Us they profess to be,
they must in turn draw their ALLEGIANCE
from the democrats. Consider, for eX;,ln
pie, the question of civil service reform,
about which the party in power has made
such an uproar. What are the facts
The bill was passed under an republican
administration, and have reason to
know that during the last two years of
Arthur's presidency the principles Of the
civil service reform were carried out with
the utmost precision. In my own de
partment never knew the political OPP
inions of any man appointed to any po-
sit,on. The examination papers We're

"But how has it been since then? Mr.
George William Curtis himself admits
that Mr.. Cleveland has replaced the Office
holders of the United States as rapidly rs
it could he done without interfering with
the working Of the government. This
is contrary to the avowed principals Of

An Opera House.

Every day sees the need of Il hall for
public entertainments and general as
semblies of the people. The hall in the
Minot building is too small, being only
about 30X5O feet, and is reached by Il mar
row stairway. A hall 50Nl0o feet say
would be of great benefit. If paced in the
second or third story, TIE lower portion
would readily rent for stores while the
upper could be used for variety of pur-
poses. For balls and dances in the com
ing winter 1t would pay large rental,
while for public gatherings, concerts and
other entertainments it would be con
stantly in use and demand. Such ad-
dresses as were heard from the gentle
men representing the agricultural inter
ests of the country, for instance, would
have delighted u large audience and
given our business men new faith and
courage in the future of this section
could they have heard them. Moreover,
we are now, or will be soon, within few
hours ride Of Helena, Butte, and the
other principal towns of our territory,
and Mr.. Mcguire has promised us first
class theatrical and opera troupes when
we have proper accommodations. These
amusements can he readily had by sup
plying place for them. The fall cam
paign too, is coming on and we may eN-
pect the most talented speakers of both
parties will use their persuasive powers
upon our citizens. In Helena and other
places the ladies attend, thereby relieving
| the speaking of many of its unpleasant
| features.
Then we have in our midst cultured
gentlemen of every profession, who
could give us entertaining and instruc-
tive lectures during the winter months
| For all OF these objects pul:lir hall is
necessary. We will go further and say
that an opera house would he still better
and by using the first floor for stores and
the second and third for the opera honse
it would be a paying investment. There
has been some talk of such IL building
being erected near the Minot building

the army, was in the siege of Nashville,
served until the surrender of Johnston,
and was with his command at the final re-
view of the Union forces at Washington.
THE LEADER OF HIS PARTY.
In 1868 he declined a reelection as re-
porter Of the supreme court and resumed
the practice of law In 1876 he became
the candidate for governor under pecu-
liar circumstances, having been placed on
the ticket by the state central committee
to fill a vacancy caused by the declination
of the regular nominee. General Har
ris0n was absent from the state when Sc
as duty he owed his party. His oppon-
the state and he also had the frauds of
W. H. Barnum and his corruption fund
to fight in u democratic state, General
Harrison received 1000 votes more than
his party. He was defeated as matter
of course, but he made a national reputa-
ton in the canvass.
In the convention of 1880 his name was
mentioned for president, but he promptly
checked the movement in his favor. In
the campaign of that year he was con-
spicuous, and having secured republican
legislature for Indiana, he was elected to
the United States senate to succeed Sen
ator Mcdonald.
His service in the senate was not that
of Il new member He went to the work
we'll prepared and he took part in the de-
bates upon every important question. He
was regarded as one of the ablest men,
best lawyers and strongest debaters in the
senate. He proved himself fully eqlua
to the demands of the position, and would
have Eeen elected in 1887 had not the
democrats stolen u republican legislature,
elected by the eXertions of Senator Har-
! rison in the canvass.
In the senate, his Dakota report and
| speeches and his speech on the Edmunds
reform in general, and the presidents ap-
pOintments in Indiana in particular, were
among his best efforts in debate. As a
member of the committee on foreign re-
lations he assisted in the consideration
and amendment, and united in the unan-
imous report of the Chinese restriction
bill introduced by Senator Fair of Nevada.
On the contract-labor bill Senator Har-
rison made Il speech favoring the whole.
sale emigration of contracted labor, being
careful, however, to reserve the freest
possible voluntary emigration of those
who desired to become American citizens
He also spoke on the alien ownership of
land, taking decided stand against the
evil of foreigners acquiring large bodies
of public and private lands to the exclu
sion of the actual settlers.
His senatorial term expired March a.
1887, and he resumed the practice of law
at Indianapolis.
General Harrison was nominated on the
Sth ballot which stood as follows: Har
rison, 554; Sherman, 11S; Alger, 100

Morton, under the call of the president
for Boo, 900 three years troops, requested
Harrison to assist in recruiting the regi-
ment from the Sixth Indiana district, un-
der the call the quota from each district
being one regiment.
Harrison's was the first recruiting com
mission issued by the governor for the
Seventieth regiment, bearing date July
IA, 1862, and making him II second lieu

manded the regiment in the field After
Il variety of service in Kentucky and Ten
nessee during the next eighteen months
up to January, 1864, Colonel Harrison's
regiment was formally assigned to the
First brigade (Ward's) of the Third divis-
ion Of the Twentieth army corps, and
with this organization he served until the
close OF the war.
At Resacca he captured the enelny's
line and four guns, and at Peach Tree
creek while commanding brigade he
gained such single victory that General
Hooker re commended him to the secre-
tary of war for promotion, and he was
made briyadier general.
During the absence of General Har-
rison in the field the democratic supreme
court declared the office of supreme
court reporter vacant and another person
was elected to the position. The general
was given a leave of absence in the fall
of 1864 with orders from the war depart
ment to report to Governor Morton. Dur
ing that thirty days he again made a bril-
