>To-DAY the Hon. w. A. Clark leaves
New York city by steamer for Havana
and thence to one Of the Mexican ports
for the city of Mexico, where he will be
joined by his family, Mrs. Clark and the
children being o at Los Angeles. Mr..
Clark had been advised by the physi-
clans to take this sea voyage, instead OF
returning to Butte, as he contemplated,
the physicians fearing that, until re-
stored to perfect health, his excessive
work here would prove anything but
beneficial to him. Mr.. Clark will remain
in Mexico about n month, and will
then return to Butte, and it is hoped that
his stay there will result in his complete
restoration to health.

THROW 1T IN THE VAST BASKET.

THROW 1T IN THE WASTE BASKET.
One of the measures which it would be
a good thing for the Montana Legislature
not to pass, is that known as House bill
No. %, entitled IAN act relating to
County Treasurers." The bill is nothing
more oil less than a scheme of brokerage,
in which the County Treasurer is made
an agent for loaning the peoples money
to the highest bidder.
There does not seem to be any neces-
sity for such a law. The people do not
pay their taxes for the purpose OF
having the money thus raised
put out at interest to the highest bid
der. The people do not want to be taxed
for any such purposes. They are willing
to pay their just proportions of the public
burdens, and they simply ask that the
money be honestly handled and properly
paid out for the purposes for which it
was raised.
There is no necessity for House bill No.
q, and it should be consigned to the
waste basket forthwith.

AND now, you Dakota twins, get your
selves names that have some individuality
in them. There is already enough ignorant
confusion OF Virginia with West Virginia,
and Of North Carolina with South Caro-
ina. What has become OF that scheme to
call one OF the Dakotas Lincoln?-[New
York Press.
The North Dakota and South Dakota
business is bad enough, but more confus-
ing still will be the c%onfounding of the
state Of Washington with other innumer-
able Washingtons. The people of our
western coast territory ought certainly to
select some other name, not as more ap-
propriate, but as more convenient.

SOME Of the Republican papers are try
ing to extract comfort out Of the alleged
expression of Jefferson Davis, to the eff
feet that General Harrison will make a
good President. An expression of this
character in regard to a Demo-
crat, by Mr.. Davis, would set the
Southern outrage" mills grinding at
terrific rate, and subject the victim of
such praise to all manner of ignorant
and hypocritical abuse. Even a Mosby,
however, a be a good Republican, and
the political world is not thereby turned
topsy-turvey.

Sunday morning. These two with another
playing among some piles OF shaving a
town about o'clock Saturdayafternoon by
some ladies out walking. Shortly after this
they were missed and search was made Tor
the little ones, but nothing OF their where
abouts was learned until, at 6 O'Clock in
the evening, the kodies of the poor little
fellows were found in the water OF one OF
the settling dams below the lower works,
locked in each others arms. 1t is supposed
that they were playing on the ice and vent
ured too close TO q hole that was not frozen
over. From all appearances it may be Cot
iectured that they had clasped hands going
as close to the hole in the ice as they dared,
but in the excitement of their play vent
ured o far, slipped and fell into
the water, and in their terror at finding
themselves in the water, clasped and chung
to each other until separated by the al
most grief crazed parents. The " little
bodies we're carried to the cemetery at the
same time, 8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
