says the Germans first duty is to de-

THAT ANVIL CESSPOOL.

One feels a humiliation in having
to allude to anything that is vile and
unseemly, but some times it becomes
necessary to do so in the interest of
decency. Some scurrillOus hireling
assails the character of Col. Belknap
in the Anvil with "a lot of filth, that
has the odor of a low dive. 1t is q
credit to the press of San Antonio that
the scavenger had to 60 twenty-five
miles to dump his load. The Anvil
feasts on the putridity in way that.
is apt to cause all decent people here
after to regard it as the buzzard press
of the state. And any having stuff
too vile for other sheets will know
where to find a consumer. The aim
of the animal that emits this foul odor
was to degrade Col. Belknap in the
interest of Savers. But has the aim
been accurate? If our Grand Opera,
house is as therein reported more than
fifty gentlemen, high up in our social
circles, can't bury their clothes too
soon. Nor is this all. Many of our
ladies Who adorn our highest
circles will hereafter go heavily
veiled. 1t would not be we'll for this
creature, whoever he, she, or it is
that c,uld thus assail by whole
sale, " nole community in this way,
to make his, her or it's name known, or
she, he, or it would soon go out in a
vile dump-cart. Because, if Colonel
Belknap is guilty, as charged, he is
far from being alone.
Then he mas poor enslaved car
drivers, ''penurious hired men,"
Those manly young fellows who drive
street cars, are only ''penurious hired
men," The colonel is AN elegant
gentleman, and is thus offensive to
Ou~ Anvil creature. Another crime of
Col. BIS is that he is an eX-federal Of
ficer; was wounded in the defense of
his country, and receives II pension.
We will leave this point for the late
cOnfederateS to resent at the ballot
ooX. We never supposed it would be
necessary for an honorable federal
soldier to apologize tor defending his
country. This creature certainly was
not good soldier on either side. We
had supposed Mr.. Sayers would feel
ashamed of any such supporter as this
C feature, and was above this method
of electiOneering

THE MILLS ARGUMENT.

Mills asserts that we could COM
pete with England in the iron trade
on a free trade basis, because the
labor cost of ton of pig iron in the
United States, is from S1.25 to $3.50,
whereas the cost is S13. He asserts
we can compete with England in the
shoe business because an American
can turn out AZ pairs Of shoes III a
week, while an Englishman can turn
out only Is pairs; whereas, our,
best workman, only turn out from IS
to 10 pairs. You see he imagines he
can tiatter the American by such UNI
founded comparisons. Mills asserts
as vigorously as fog-horn, but he
is all sound, and nothing else.

Madisonian: Last Friday night, the
residence of Hon. Geo. F. Cope, at Wash
ington Bar, was burned, under clrcum-
stances which leave no doubt that the fire
was of incendiary origin. The place had
been vacated for not less than fifteen hours
before the fire broke out, which was
some time late in the night. Mr.. Cope
loses, besides the house, lot of furniture
and the tools used in his mining opera
tons on Washington Bar during the sum-
mer. His loss will not fall far short of
s., 800.
David C. Monroe, one of the contractors
on the Montana Central, died at his camp
at Monroe's tunnel, near Calvin's station,
on Saturday last. He was the con-
tractor on the tunnel which bore his name,
had let daylight through the mountain
about three weeks since, and the whole
work would have been completed very
soon. He was ill only few days, having
been taken with severe diarrhGa, which
medical assistance stopped, but which re-
suited in other complications, the physi-
clans certificate alleging heart failure as
the cause of the death.
The Farmers of the Clalke's Fork Bot
tom held meeting in the court house at
Billings recently at which they protested
against the treatment received by the Mn
nesota & Montana Land and Improvement
company. They allege that the irrigating
ditch of that company has never been a
success and that in consequence they have
sustained heavy loss each season by reason
of failure of crops. 1t was also resolved
that committee be appointed to take the
necessary steps to protect the interests of
the farming community of said Clarke's
Fork Bottom, and institute proceedings
with view of obtaining damages for
losses already sustained.

HART Executed,

Patrick John Hartt, the murderer of
John W. Pitts, at Boulder, on No
vember 9th, 1885, paid the pen
atty of his cold -blooded crime with his
life at Helena yesterday. He had the
benefit of three trials, in two of which he
was convicted Of murder in the first de-
gree, and after two appeals to the terrific
rial supreme court was pronounced guilty.
The execution took place in the rear of
the Lewis and Clarke county Jail, within
an enclosure erected for the purpose.
About twenty five persons witnessed the
the hanging, among the number being
Sheriff Templeton and DR.. G.. w. Grant
of this city. At II 10 Hartt was conducted
by Sheriff Hathaway to the gibbet, where
he took his stand under the moose Father
Van den Brock, his spiritual adviser, ac-
companied him and stood beside him un-
til the end. The under sheriff and depu-
ties then bound Harrt's legs together with
straps. Leather bonds were also strapped
about his arms and shoulders. Sheriff
Hathaway asked Hartt if he had
anything to say, in response to which
Hartt said: II wish you all rest
full conscience and useful life
on this earth. 1 hope when you come
through tins door, you will bring some
little child that has no father and mother
on this earth for protection. That is all
have to say-Good. bye" WHAT he meant
is not known, but it is supposed he re-
ferrcd to his own condition as an orphan
and expressed the hope that, when any of
those present died, he would have no
father or mother mourn to his loss
Sheriff Hathaway then adjusted the moose
about the neck of the doomed man. Hartt
stood the ordeal without flinching. He
only inclined his head toward the priest,
who whispered some words in his ear, and
then the sheriff said "ready." Suddenly
HART shot up into the air, and in second
his body was dangling to and fro about
two feet from the ground. The black
cap was then placed over his head. The
weight fell at exactly II :28 o'clock, and
eleven minutes later the attending physi-
clans, Drs. Morris, Hunter and Grant, pro-
nounced him dead. AT exactly IL 40 the
physicians announced that his heart had
ceased to beat, and preparations were
made for taking down the body. As soon
us the signal was given the priest dropped
ON MS knees and was praying with clasped
hands when Hartt was swung into eternity.
At | AS the body was lowered into the
coffin. A guard was placed over the re-
mains and at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon they were inferred in the Catholic
cnmetery at Helena.
At the time of the death of Herr Krup
he had in hand for some time gun for
the Italian government which has just
been finished. The gun, which weighs
118 tons, is forty-five feet long, and its
caliber nearly nineteen inches. 1t is RI
fled, and throws steel projectile weigh
ing nearly ton, with charge of six
cwt. of powder. The shot can penetrate
steel arinor plate thirty-six inches
thick at the mouth of the gun, or twen-
ty-nine inches at distance OF a mile. It
is not believed that any armored ship in
the world can endure the fire from such
q gun.

isn't It dreadfulf" she asked.


The police divide the matrimonial agen-
cies into three classes. The first category
has for ordinary clients the nobleman
without fortune and the high government
functionary who has been retired on a
pension. The feminine element is gener-
ally recruited among the foreign colony,
orphans with dowry and rich widows
who bore themselves to death In the prov
inces. The second class agents negotiate
with lower grade functionaries, retired
officers and middle class folk, who are
''poor but honest," In the third class is
comprised all the agencies that accept no
matter who, provided they can extort a
good commission for their services. This
classification Is doubtless an arbitrary
one, but it is commodious for police re-
quirements. In the best Of these agen-
cies, little II any advance payment Il
required, but the applicant signs an
agreement to give 0 or more per cent. on
the dowry within certain length of
time. hardly need add that the wiliest
agents manage to 'touch" o commission
from both parties. Leland in

popul.ritx Of Army omcer..

In few matters has fashion changed
more radically than in the esteem in which
the army is held. Thirty years ago, Henri
de Pene, whom they have just laid in his
last resting place, lampooned the "Subs''
numerically. He got some bad sword
thrusts, it is true, for his reward, but the
public took his part pretty generally. No
one cared to have young officers in their
houses, and even II they did not tear the
ladies' dresses with their spurs, as he
said, and eat more ice and drink more
champagne than ought to have fallen to
their share, they were not welcome guests
the uniform was discredited. Now, II
is the open sesame to the most exclusive
salon in the capital. All the young
heiressess and daughters of the nobility
are snapped up by the neutenants and
sub-lieutenants. A wedding without q
good show of uniforms Is poor affair,
and a bridegroom in black coat looki
half ashamed of himself. 1t Is their turn
now.-Paris Cor. Argonaut.
