THE CASTLE ROAD,

some of our citizens are agitating the
scheme Of building a wagon road from
Bozeman to the Castle mountains and
propose to solicit subscriptions for the
purpose of constructing the road. Two
years ago Mr.. Lycan, of this city built a
substantial road up Bridger Canyon and
1t Is stated that the work can be ~easiallv
II cheaply finished to the mines,
Several have already traversed this road
In going and coming from the mines and
say that ii is at present far better than
any other thoTougfare leading thereto.
There promises to be a great rush to
these mines this summer and it ia i'm.
portant that Bozeman and the Gallatin
valley be connected Herewith with God
road. The Husbandman of White Spl.
phur gives its hearty endorsement to
this plan and says that in its opinion n
road VIA. Sixteen mile would be the
nearest. 1t thinks that the two counties
should join in building the road, which
could be built at slight expense. There
lie a large country in the Smith River val
ley that this valley ought to tap, to say
nothing of the mines, and we hope that
the commissioners will take a look into
this matter and act according to the
wishes of a great number of our most |
pro- ressive people. The farmer would
greatly benefited by the proposed
road, built in either direction and it
be the forerunner of a railroad
this to that section.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The Chronicle has no reason to excuse
or apologize for any of the acts of the
county commissioners "a n body for any
franchises it has or Is likely to re-
ceive; hut when we ste their acts and
motives upon certain IN, asrn-s mis-
represented, it is our duty, we hold
to put them right before the PEG
pie. In the matter tf the grand
jury report, wherein that body criticises
the action of the board in not PAYING
for a case ordered by the probate Judge,
we are inclined to think that the jury
went slightly out Of its way TO admin
lister rebuke to the board. Before that
case vas purchased from an eastern
house, the commissioners, in view of the
fact that the county officers were pur-
chasing supplies indiscriminately, order
ed that all articles needed TO be- rurchas-
ed by order of the county clerk. who
was authorized 10 give an order for all
that was absolutely needed. The pro
bate Judge ignored the order and put in
a bill for the case, which, by the way,
has not yet been paid Tor, and conse.
quently, he is not out Il cent for its pur-
chase. 1t was not That the commission.
ers thought hat the case was not-reluir.
ed that the bill Vac disallowed but to
break up the practice Of purchasing ar
ticles without authoiit y
1t was the present board of county
commissioners that spent nearly $500 in
repairing the coart house. and if the
pipes to conduct the water away from
the base of the building are too short,
it would he the work of only a few min
utes to make a trough that will carry it
away. 1t is due the present board tn say
that they have endeavored to do every
thing that is necessary to the building
and the grounds.
Regarding the "pigcon.holeing of
important bills to which or Z. c al
ludes, we presume is meant the Conr-
ier's bill but inasmuch as the proprie-
tor has not been present at the meetings
to enliglten the boarl regarding items
whicl. they believe to be discrepancies,
he has M one to blame but himself.
1t has also bAcn asserted that the CON.
missiouers We're to blam for the remov-
al of the L. :. curt. We have long z
exploded that lelusi,n AMI placed the
blame wnrre il undoubtedly belongs. 1t
did apprar ii if the commissioners in.
tended Ia pursue Il parsimonious policy
with the Judge; but their subsequent
action did Ii s ibs,a late the charge.
As WI have before stated, the CmRoN
IcIE has no reason to palliate any acts of
the board of county commissioners
through any hvoritism that has been
shown it; but the devil himself is en-
titled to his due. and the CHRONICLE
prides itself upon being able to rise above
personal prejudices and accord common
lation wherever it is due. The com.
.%issioners may be a CLOSE corporation
Of bad men, but, like the musician,
they are doing the bcst they know
and, very naturally, feel uggrieved
the condemnation heaped upon them
by those who do not take the trouble to
investigate their acis.

1t is pretty thoroughly demonstrated
now that the Republican Convention at
Livingston will be a red hot one. Eli
Waters has circulated around and has
received pledges from numerous Repub.
licans and " in Livingston, where 1t
is argued that he assisted SO materially
in the division of the county he has a
number of open supporters. 1t is suppos.
ed that the Silver Bow delegation will
stand by Eaton and that the Eaton fac
ton will stand by Mantle; but at this
time it is impossible to predict the out
come. In the meantime the leading
Republicans of Park county are Kicking"
over the appointment of Chas. Berg, by
Chairman McCutcheon and they propose
to show the Helena leader whether or
not they are to be ignored.

In their search for buncombe the Re.
publican papers of the Territory have
run against a snag. They wished to
make it appear that Chairman Clark
assumed the authority of appointing the
delegates to fill the vacancies on tho De-
mocratic Territorial Committee, when in
truth he did nothing of the kind. 1t
was Col. Mct'utcheon of the Republicans
Who did this horrible thing about which
the Republican papers are bowling. In
this county the Colonel appointed Chas.
Hartman. Mr.. Hartman is a good man
and cannot be worked by Helena it is
true, yet it seems somewhat strange that
W. W. Anderson and other leading Re.
publicans were not consulted in this
matter. Is it possible that the Napoleon
of Republican politics in this Territory
(Col. M~eCutcheon) proposes to ignore
the claims of Mr.. Anderson and his num-
erous followers in this county? II looks
very much as if the astute Colonel was
irving to down Major Anderson, whose
claims for the position of delegate to the
Chicago convention are asserted by
numerous friends in all parts of the Ter.

says: "Ie has impressed those of our

Some Striking Situations Into Which

There is no end of witchCraft and de-
ception. Years ago persons suspected
Of the "strange %infatuation" were thrown
INTO tho water-if guilty of %witchcraft,
they would drown.
Fol many years the world was shocked
at such inhumanity of man to man, but
If we were to declare that people are per-
secuted to-day quite as remorselessly as
were the so-called witches of old, our
statements might be received with great
fncredulity.
But it is q fact.
If you do not believe it, enter any one
OF the schools of medical practice, and
attempt to use a preparation which the
code does not recognize, or ever 10 rec
ommend indirectly any popular remedy,
such, for instance, as Warmers celebrated
kidney remedy, and then relate your *
perience.
Then you'll admit the fact.
Let us be frank with you, reader. We
tell you that this is downright bigotry.
