IN A BLACK MANS GOVERNMENT
Hayti is governed solely-so far a,

ever, it Is and has been for years, a com

An evidence Of the jealousy which

Douglass has reported for duty, but has
been informed that the government was
not yet ready to send him to his post.
This latter fact and the former rumor
are put together, and the inference is
drawn in Washington that Douglass
appointment is likely to be revoked in
consequence Of the Haytian prejudice
against the black man. Although the ru-
mOred revocation Of the appointment is
denied by the authorities, the longer re-
tention Of Douglass in Washington col
ors the surmise with possible plausi-
bility.

UNLOVED AND ALONE.

The sea dove some twin shadow has,
The lark has loves in seas of grass,
The wild bird trumpets back his vow,
Ihe squirrel laughs along his bough;
But II am alone, alas!
As lonely and unloved, alas
As clouds that weep and drop and pass
y maiden, singing silver sweet,
At cabin door, in field OF corn,
Where woodbines Irvine for thy retreat
Sing sweet through all thy summer morn,
For love Is landing at thy feet
In that fair isle in seas OF corn.
But II am unloved and lorn
As winter winds of winter morn.
The ships, black-bellied, climb the sea,
The seamen seek their loves on land,
And love and lover, hand in hand,
20 singing, glad as glad can be;
But nevermore shall love seek me
BY blowy sea or broken land,
By broken wild or willow tree
Nay, never more shall love seek me.

In spite Of all his badinage, in report
ing the proceedings of the Democratic
convention at Anaconda, yesterday, edi-
tor Reed could not keep out a grain of
fact, now and then. In n Of his lucid
intervals he said:
On the whole the Democratic delegates
are q respectable and genial lot OF men.
They evidently mean to do right, and most
OF them favor good government and are
loyal and patriotic citizens OF the terri
tory.
After this certificate of character, the
Democratic delegates may 60 home with
more confidence than ever in the success
Of their ticket.

The Democrats Of Montana never as
sembled in a better mood for concessions
or freer from petty ~jealousies than on last
Tuesday. The best proof of this is that
where more than one candidate was
nominated for a position and one devel-
oped more strength than the others, the
latter withdrew their names and moved
to make the nomination of the stronger
man unanimous.

TEE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Even the Republicans are forced to
concede that there Is an element of
strength, because Of its downright excel
lence, in the ticket nominated by the
Democrats at Anaconda, Tuesday. It is
q ticket not easily assailed by the most
critical, and will prove still less vulner-
able as the campaign progresses.
In naming Martin Maginnis for Con-
gress, reference was had, doubtless, to
past service, to eminent fitness, and to
the recognition Of peculiar aptitude for
the responsible position named. Major
Maginnis will not misrepresent the state
Of Montana. He will respond in the in
terests Of the whole people.
Joseph K. T0Ole deserves the nomina-
ton for Governor. He is one of the old
timers, and one Of the nOblest men in the
Northwest. He is strong with the people
az well as in his party. With John II.
Conrad as his Lieutenant Governor, af-
fairs of the new ship Of state will be well
manned.
With Stephen DeWolf for Chief Justice
and Frank K. Armstrong and W. M.
Bickford as associates, the judiciary will
be In the charge of able and conscien-
tious men. Naught can be said against
them.
Here in Silver Bow, where W. Y. Penn
berton is SO well known, who can doubt
his ability to faithfully attend to the
affairs Of the Acknowledgement Mr..
Pemberton is a good citizen and an up
right man, and his nomination will be
received with increasing favor.
Cope will make a competent clerk of
the supreme court, as will Joseph A.
Brown a Secretary Of State, while the
nomination Of Jerry Collins for treas
urer, of Thomas 8. Fitzgerald for auditor
and Of J. R. Russell for superintendent
Of public instruction are selections
clearly made with especial reference to
the fitness Of the candidates for the
offices.
The platform is Democratic. and upon
it the party in this state will stand SOL
idly together.

The Greatest Irrigating Cana in Montana
What it Does.
The completion of the GalIatin cana
marks an era in the history of the Gallatin

company commenced delivering water to

come on the investment, and next season
about twice as much water will be required
to furnish the demand.
The Gallatin canal is the banner irriga-
ton enterprise of Montana, and it will set
the example of what can be done in that
line in this state. The estimated cost ia
about $4,000 and the engineering diff.
cultIes have been great. After the canal
was completed it wds found that a dyke
500 feet in length at the head OF the canal
must be constructed OF rock and gravel in
order to turn the channel OF the river into
the canal at the present low stage of the
water.
The source or head of the CANALS located
at the point where the Gallatin river issues
from the mountains and runs in a north
easterly direction a distance OF about
twenty-five miles to a point near ozeman.
The water-course.i is twenty-four feet wide
on the bottom, forty feet wide on top, and
five feet deep at the head and tapers down
to fourteen feet wide on bottom and twen-
ty feet wide and three feet deep at the
end. The grade is two and a half
feet per mile. and the water flows at the |
OF two and a half miles per hour.
The Gallatin river is the source OF water
and as it contains over 200, 900 |
miners inches OF water at the lowest stage t
the river there can never be any chance
or litigation over the water rights.-[Boze-

Two Oficers Temporarily Turn Managers
Of Bear Show.
An entire circus and menagerie arrived
in the city yesterday and before the day
was over Marshal Macarthur and Officer
Cody were in charge OF the outfit, the mar
shall as general manager and the policeman
as keeper Of the wild animals.
The outfit consisted Of an cid, broken
down wagon, q span OF starved, decrepid
horses, a iaunty looking white burro, an
Italian, his wife, Eve or six hall naked
children and o performing bear with q chain
fastened to q ring which ran through his
nose. The impresario and the bear began
to give performances aud so large and
noisey were the crowds they attracted
that the marshal ordered the caravan to
leave the streets. Towards evening the
aggregation again appeared, on West
Park street, and the marshal pulled
the entire caboodle. Calling Police
man Cody to his assistance he
placed the bear in his charge while he HIM
self looked after the dago and a line OF
march leading to the police court was
taken up. The woman, with a little nut

marshal and her husband. Cody and the
bear came next and a little boy driving the
team followed and brought up the rear.
When the column arrived in front OF the
police court the marshal and his prisoner
started to go up stairs and b the fun
began. The woman, san stockings, sans
hat, and with the front OF her dress open,
began to scream and hurl forth a volley OF
English. Italian abuse mixed with pleadings
and prayers to the 'sgooda mana" not to
hurt her husband and to look out that the
bear mo bita the childrena, he verr bada.'
Meantime a crowd gathered and began to
yell to Cody to make the bear perform and
so persistent was the mob that the officer
sought safety in fight and with his shaggy
charge locked himself up in the engine house.
Thu marshal and his prisoner went up
stairs the woman following and talking
continuously. In the court room all efforts
to cause her to keep still proved unavail

take her out, but not before her husband
made a move as though to enforce the or.
der OF the court by ''swlping'' her across
the jaw. After a semblance OF order had
been secured the head of the outfit was
told to leave town, which he agreed to do,
and the way he marched his combination
towards the western limits of the city
showed that he meant to go if the horses
and bear did not give out. After they had
disappeared from sight the woman cam
back running frantically and said. "Me

'de childa," a wee mite OF a thing, and
after soundly boxing it's ears, took it by
the hand and started in pursuit OF the rest
