THE COMING ELECTIONS

In November the people of Montana
will choose delegate and legislature.
The counties will elect officers, In Gas.
cade county the people will elect three
county commissioners and the other
county officers. We will have to elect a
delegate and representative Jointly with
Choteau, because until the next appor-
tionment we are thus linked. This state
of things is suggestive Of deals and com
binations, but such cannot always be car
ricd out. The best plan will be for each
party to nominate good, strong men, who
can be relied on to act fairly by both
counties. In that way any fair division
that is made of the honors is likely to be
ratified at the polls. There are compe-
tent men in both Choteau and Cascade
who will "fill the bill" in these resnects
The result will be that the dominant
party in the close contest which is ex-
pected will elect its men and there will
be no suspicion of foul play to embitter
the relations of the twin conn
ties. Of course there are voters
in Coteau who would prefer to elect
democratic delegate and republican
representative Tor the reverse) from
Choteau rather than give either to Cas-
cade, but we trust that such narrowness
will not be shown by the people in either
county. In other words, let the battle he
fought out on party lines Or personal
merits, but let county feuds cease.
This is all the more important because
Cascade and Choteau have common in
terests in many respects. Combined with
their natural allies, Dawson, Fergus and
Meagher counties, they would exercise
powerful influence in the legislature and
could carry any wise measure which had
met their united approval. This union
will be imperiled if Cascade and Cbo
teau are not fairly represented in tina
legislature by able men who command

Helena is about to take up arms against
the "social evil,' the "gilded palaces of
SIM" and so forth. In early days our
neighbor was a tritle fast anG has not en-
tirely reformed yet. Old timers who re
call the gambling saloons, the hurdy-
gurdy houses, and the bar-rooms aglow
all night with light have been 10th to dis
turb the institution which has acquired
such hold on the city. But now that
Helena has grown old and sedate she has
more regard for the proprieties. Accord
ing!y we may expect to see Massena Bull
lard, Col. Sanders and the others who
have called meeting for Monday con
duct the frail creatures to the city limits
and say: "Wayward sisters, go in peace"

All this talk about "invading the terri
tory" of the Northern Pacific is rank
nonsense. No authority, federal OF state,
has given any railroad separate terri
tory" This cry which is now raised
against the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton was heard loudly when the Montana
Central and Manitoba extensions were
undertaken. But it was not needed, and
behold the good result! The American
people want all the railroads they can
have and will always condemn, as OPP
posed to public policy, all arguments to
keep the steel highways within certain
limits.

This will be busy cattle season in

become at a bound leading wool mar
ket, will likewise be great depot for

done in the wool trade. Our central loca-

Montana cattle trade. Those who shipped
cattle here so largely last season, will do
so again, and others will follow their ex-

alive to the importance of this market,
and are keeping keen eye on each other
as we'll as on the fat steers.

The Montana press displays all the
conmotion of battle field. The veter-
ans are moving toward the positions as
signed them and the fight will soon be in
full progress. Col. Dickerson takes up
his position at the center and will be ex
pected to hold the Lewis and Clarke re-
publicans in check, preventing an adj
vance on the Gallatin valley. Col. Dan
Searles commands the right wing at Ben
ton, where Col. Todd is on detached SER
vice. Considerable skirmishing is re-
ported from the Bitter Root valley and
Butte. 1t is rumored that new repub-
lican force is being organized at Helena
to operate on the TANKS of Dickerson's
army. 1t will be commanded by Col
Molinelli, who has made a good record.
Both armies are advancing on the legis-
latu"e, which will be stoutly contested.

Hon. Norman j. Colman continues to
take a friendly interest in Montana, and
Great Falls especially. In letter to
Professor Anderson he says: "In the
near future you must have fine fair
ground at Great Falls to draw there the
thoroughbred stock of the territory"
Thus does the opinion of the able com
missioner and veteran editor, who made
such a good speech here, correspond with
our own advocacy of the speedy estab-
lishment Of a fair here that will be
worthy Of North Montana. The com
missioner represents in his good wishes
the kind sentiments which Missouri has
for this northern land that is SO closely
connected with her early history.

The decision of Secretary Villas in the
Guilford Miller case accords with com
mon sense 1t decides that the public
have some rights which the Northern
Pacific is bound to respect. In brief, Mr..
Villas decides that as the Northern Pacific
selected one route, it cannot without new
authority he allowed to claim alternate
sections of land on another He likewise
makes the important ruling that the
company is not entitled to other lands to
compensate for those which it could not
acquire in Indian reservations. Which
is also rational conclusion.

1t is said that Major Maginnis doesn'
care about running for congress this
year. He is not short of time or ambi
ton, but the fact is that, as resident of
Montana, identified with Its welfare, he
has not the gall necessary to ask his
friends to vote for free lead, free wool
and low wages.-Inter Mountain.
We rise to remark that Mr.. Randall is
a good democrat and yet he is opposed to
"free lead, free wool and low wages
When Montana interests are imperiled is
just the time that Major Maginnis should
be at the front If he is disposed to run

That was q strange agreement of the
Pantarch Stephen Pearl, Andrew and
Courtlandt Palmer that the one who died
first was to communicate with the sur!
vivor. Andrew died last year and Pal
mer followed the other day. No word
came from the Pantarch, but doubtless
the bogus mediums will account plausi-
bly, for his silence. As place for queer
doings New York is gaining on Paris,
which is full of cranks.

WOOL AND WOOLENs.
Pointers for Wool Growers and BUYERS
Steady Trade.


Steady Trade.
The supply Of .feeces grown east of the
Mississippi of all grades is exceedingly
light on all the seaboard markets for this
season of the year, as holders are in
clined to keep them back, hoping for bet
ter things. The consequence is that the
territorials and other darker woods are
having rather better show than usual,
manufacturers substituting them, in
many instances, for so-called domestic
fleeces
The action of the senate on the tariff
bill is looked forward to with great inter-
est, but it is still the feeling that business
must be forecast without giving much
thought to the chance of any change in
the duties this year.
Since the close Of the London auctions
all private transactions there have been
upon q basis of very full prices for all
choice woods. 1t is even expected that
figures will show a moderate advance at
the next sales. At Antwerp very strong
feeling for all good woods is noticeable,
In Boston the sales for the week ended
July 28 foot up about 2,150,0OO pounds,
against about 100000 pounds for the
corresponding week of last year, and
about 100000. pounds for the preceding
week of this year. The principal sales
have been Of Michigan and other feeces
abeut $4,000 pounds; of territory about
100000 pounds, and OF California and
Oregon about 100000 pounds.
According to Boston advices of the 2Sth
ult., there is good demand for territory
wool and prices remain the same. Con-
siderable new Montana and Utah woods
have been sold to arrive. The sales in
clude 5000 pounds of medium at %
to % cents, 125.OOO pounds Of fine and

AT JACKSONVILLE
Loading Citizens Correct Rumors by
Detailed Statement

JkcKsoSvfLLE, Aug. IL.
To correct erroneous reports circulated IN
regard to the condition of affairs here, the
leading citizens have prepared the following
statement: There have been SO cases Of
yellow fever In and near the city since the
first case was introduced three weeks ago
These cases have been either sent To the
sand Nils Hospital or Isolated At their
homes.
Four of those taken i'll have died. recov-
cred and 20 are now under treatment. Dur
ing the past days only new cases have
occurred and there has been no deaths since
Monday morning. The most vigorous meas
ures are being taken to prevent the spread of
ufeeton and to thoroughly cleanse the city.
Confidence is felt that an epidemic will be
averted and that the disease will be stamped
out within twoor three weeks. There were on
" II deaths last week in this city of more than
&, 600 inhabitants, only one of these from
yellow fever, and the general health of the
people of jacksonville during the past 30
days. and at present, will compare favorably
with that of any city of like size anywhere.
While generous offers of aid have been
rendered from different quarters, the author
tiles and citizens feel that for the present
they are able. aud prefer to rely on their
own resources.
