EDITORIAL MELANGE.

The Fergrs Argus which has lately
thrown aside eitsarmstrongpress and pro-
cured the latest improved power press,
came out last week copsiderahly enlarged.
The Argus is now we years old and one of
the brightest weeklies in the territory.

The Courier brought a surprise to its
readers last week in the announcement
ofJu1ge Carson, who wants to I've Probate
Judge again. Without devuting much
space to the matter, we beg to express
the opinion that the Judge viii not be re
nominated, and hence his announce
ment il entirely unnecessary. Prominent
Republicans have openly expressed
themselves as opposed to him and they
will see to it that he Ia retired to the
shades of his excellent ranch.
There is no truth IN the report that
the Prohibition county central committee
have placed Gen. S. Deutch on their
ticket as county surveyor. We are una
ble to state whether or not they have
placed d. c. Campbell on the ticket, but
tits 80 reported.
Now that Gallop has exposed his hand
we expect to see Geo. d. Thomas, W. Y.
Smith, Jas. Ennis, and six other Repub.
licans play their card.
On August Sth, Indiana held its state
Republican convention at which Gen.
Hoyey was nominated for Governor.
Gen'l. Robertson, who visited Bozeman
some time ago was placed in nomination,
but failed TO get there.
It is stated that Col. Sanders wants
the nomination for Delegate again.
Sanders is great deal like Blaine, he
wants the Office, but can never get it.

The Independent calls upon Russell B.
Harrison to prove property and take it
away. 1t alludes to the Associate Press
franchise which Mr.. Harrison has claim
ed to have in his jeans for the past few
years. In all probability the challenge
will not be accepted by Mr.. Harrison for
q very good and sufficient reason and the
independent will not be annoyed here
after by this threat and the comments of
the press. 1t will be remembered that
Dave Marks, who is at present business
manager of the Independent, was COM
PEELED to leave reportorial position on
that paper a few years ago, under the
Swallow management, on account of
having offended Mr.. Harrison, who

The Independent intimates that Col.
Hawkins, the great reformer and temp
erance orator who has received 30 many
flattering notices from the press, has not
paid his board bills in the CGur d'Alene

purpose the jumping of board bill will
never be very popular in this country.
The discussion over the "pocket fran
chise" of the Associated Press, which
Russell B. Harrison has claimed to have
ready for use anytime he wanted it, is
growing deeply interesting. Editor
Dickerson defies Russell B. to use the
franchise and says just as plain as good,
forcible English can, that Russell's claims
are the thinnest kind of vapor. 1t further
adds that the Herald dared Mr.. Harrison
