THE GOVERNORS REPORT,

The full text of Governor Whites re,
port to the secretary of the interior ap.
pears in this mornings MINER. 1t is an
exhaustive paper and deserves not only
to be carefully read but also to be re-
tained for reference. 1t is replete with
interesting and valuable statistics and
with suggestions the wisdom of which
Ia the main will be conceded by all who
are familiar with our conditions. The
subject OF irrigation is perhaps the most
important upon which the governor
dwells when he leaves the realm of sta
~tistics, and it is one that must be
lntelligently met within the near future
or the wheels of immigration will be
clogged and millions of acres that
should be made to blossom as the rose
md TEEN with a great and prosperous
people must continue to lie in the
1esert embrace Of a state of nature.
The colossal expenditure which a proper
Eystem Of irrigation will require.
'laces it far beyond the reach of private
nterprize and it must therefore be met
With the public purse directed by what
lay be termed public wisdom. But of
his subject again.

e. WARREN TOOLE.

Il. Warren Toole, ESQ.,, of Dem.
oeratic counsel in the Tunnel pre-.
clnct proceedings, has made a
NEST favorable impression in this city.
His learning, his eloquence and his
mastery presentation of a cause would
entitle him to the highest recognition at
any bar. Mr.. Toole is a brother of the
Hon. ]. K. Toole. the Democratic gov
ernor-elect of Montana, as a state; a
resident of Helena and we'll known
throughout the territory as a lawyer of
eminent ability. MIR. Toole does not in
dulge in meaningless buster. but in the
purest and most forcible diction he ex-
hausts a subject. He is an accomplished
gentleman, too, and even this gives him
3 force as an attorney which the brow
beaten can never secure.

THE DEFENSE.

Knowles and Campbell were almost 81
lent about fraud at the Tunnel, and in
which they displayed more sense than in
any other particular. They knew that
any investigation of that character, were
it possible under mandamus would dam
age their case by showing up Bernard
and the gang and exonerate the Demo-
cratic party. They very wisely concluded
that even a reference to that theme
would still further weaken their case in
the minds Of honest people. II may be
said that the counsel for the conspira-
tors relied wholly upon the immaterial
Irregularities which in no manner af-
fected a free vote and a fair count. They
were defeated, but there the matter
should not stop. The conspirators should
DO made to feel the power Of the law
which they have insulted.

PERSONAL

As some of the Republican organs are
disposed to harp upon the question OF
Judge DeWolfe's personal interest in the
mandamus proceedings before him in
which j. J. Mediation is the relator we
republish below an extract from the
argument made IN the case by that emf
nent lawyer, Mr.. E. W. Toole. He said:
ut is again insisted by counsel, that,
as your honor was a candidate for chief
justice of the State Of Montana, you are
consequently interested in the result of
this action, by excluding or including
Precinct "a. Upon the former discussion
Of this question, the court taking Judi
cial notice Of such matters as it was
proper for it to consider as we'll as its
personal knowledge of all facts appli-
cable to the question, announced that
you were fully satisfied, that the can
vass or rejection Of the precinct could in
no manner affect the result Of the elec-
ton n so far as you were concerned, yet
you would feel a delicacy in compelling
4 canvass that would require the count
of votes in your own favor and for
reason was not disposed to sit in
the trial requiring a anvass of the en-
tire vote at said precinct. Under the
provisions of our statute the proceedings
n this case must necessarily be insti-
;uted in this county. 1t required the /.
Of the writ in the first instance 7
o invest the court with jurisdiction and
Without which there would be no remedy =
or the relator. Besides it is only In cases y
where there is a legal disqualification I
a change of venue can be had, or ::
mother judge become qualified to act in =
our place. Hence the rights of the g
sspective parties in%stituting these pro- G
ceilings, devolves upon your honor a -,
uty Of so grave a character as to over o
'me the objection urged. Indeed it n
ould seem that the delicacy of your
in connection with the legal y
.hts Of the reiator would be more
involved in turning them out
court without a remedy. A notable W
stance in an eyentful epoch in the his otI
ry of our country, will serve a great
sasure as a fOrcible example and con- IN
Hing precedent in the present case. /

A LIAR.

The Inter Mountain has said that the
court admitted that he had a personal
interest in the mandamus proceedings
which in his opinion disqualified him
from presiding. The Inter Mountain of
yesterday, however, ~retracts in
one. instance from that position
and says editorially that it says
the court had an interest. The Inter
Mountain of yesterday calls the Inter
Mountain of the day before a liar and
this is all that there is in it. If the
Inter Mountain wishes to deny the propo-
sition we will be pleased to give it the
benefit of the deadly parallel and perhaps
it is best to anticipate it. 1t was
thought that the Hon. Hiram Knowles
had a corner on the ludicrous position
pointed out, but Attorney Knowles and
Justice Knowles will please take notice
that the Inter Mountain is something of
a liar itself. What the Inter Mountain
thinks about the personal interest of the
court in the proceedings is a matter of no
moment whatever to anybody. The
Inter Mountain has never thought any
thing of a political character except
what has been dictated to it by a few
spoilsmen and would-be political bosses,
who have been kicked out of their own
party because they deserved to be, and
who are now political tramps without any
decent following and with no abiding
faith except to rob the people irrespective

We challenge the Inter Mountain to
produce any stenographic report to prove
that Judge DeWolfe has ever said that
he was disqualified from hearing the
mandamus case because of his interest
as a candidate. On the contrary, he said
he was not disqualified but from a sense
Of delicacy he would not hear the pro-
ceedings unless the writ should be
amended so as to exclude himself.

raE PRESENT STATUS.

The great mandamus case in which !
o ]. Mediation. the Democratic candidate 70
: district judge, is relator has been decide
and a permptory writ has been issue
7 compelling the Tunnel precinct vote t
3 be counted as to him. The permptor
writ may be said to be yet in allegiance
+; for as soon as 1t issued the counsel 70
' the conspirators took an appeal and aske,
J for q stay Of proceedings pending TIL
same. and a decision upon which will b,
: announced this morning. Yesterday wa
consumed in arguing the right Of appea
land the effect Of it as to a stay of pro
ceedings. With the right of appeal We
have nothing to do at this time, but the
consequences Of a stay Of proceedings are
matters of. most momentous import to
the public and the discussion, therefore,
most opportune. As a matter Of fact, a
stay Of proceedings would practically
affirm the act Of Jack and Hall, and,
therefore, everything that has been said
In these columns against their action as
a majority of the board of canvassers APP
plies against the granting of such a stay.
As the decision Of the court now stands
the law has been vindicated, the cOntin-
ued operation of the machinery Of
government has been insured, the
liberties Of the people have been pre-
served and the hand of the conspirator
and convict has been bound. To grant a
stay of proceedings, it seems to us, would
be simply to repeal the decision Of yes
to undo the good work that has
been done under the plain lawof Montana
in strict accordance with it, and to de-
Wive men Of offices perhaps for entire
terms, who have been honestly and fairly
elected to them and who will be without
any adequate redress. If it is right that
a peremptory writ of mandamus should
issue, and a to that there can be no
doubt, then. indeed, is it right that it
should serve its purpose and compel that
to he done that it commands shall be
done and which should be done accord
ing to the letter and spirit of
the law and which the conditions
which make both the law and
he writ necessary. The very name and
cope Of the writ are inconsistent with a
Itay Of proceedings, and the public may
expect the court to rule in
his matter as the law and justice direct.
hat the court will repeal its decision of
yesterday is too preposterous for anyone
0 entertain, unless it be the attorneys {
q interest and by them only because of
heir professional relations to their l
lients. 1
And again, the right to appeal. at all l
a matter of extreme doubt and wholly Z
enied by Democratic counsel, as the af- 4
davit of Caleb e. Irvine, one of the p
,ard of canyassers was submitted to the s
'urt and which most positively AYERS a
