There died recently near Tuscaloosa,
Ala. an old citizen who was the butt of
a Confederate soldier joke at time
when the COnfedeTacy was about past
joking. He was very fat and a very
benevolent old man. One day a Con-
federate column was passing that way
sunder melancholy circumstances, and he
mounte his horse to meet it and offer
comfort. Soon as the soldiers saw his
immense paunch elevated on the horses
back, one of them yelled, 'Boys we We
got him. Here's the cuss that swallowed
our bass drum

The People Must Speak.

In order that the United States senate
may know the will Of the people Of Mon
tana, let public meetings be at once
called in all the towns and cities Of the
territory, to do that which it was the
duty of the legislature to do: send mess
ages to congress urging that the admis-
sion bill be passed before the adjourn
ment of the present session. I'll by no
means certain that, even If Gen. Harri
son convenes congress in special session
after the 4th Of March, q bill admitting
the territories will get through Of such
extra session In season to enable Montana
representatives and senators to partici-
pate in the early proceedings Of the reg
llar session, assembling in December
next Let the voice of the people be
heard in this matter, even though it be a
rebuke to the partisans whom oalamit-
GUS dispepsatiop of providence has placed
In control Of the legislature Helena In.
dependent.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1889-02-13
DEMAND OUR RIGHTS.

We second the motion Of the Helena
Independent that public meetings be held
throughout Montana to demand statehood.
Such demonstrations should be non-par-
tlsan. The claims of Montana should be
emphasized calmly and deliberately. Ii
not too late, a deputation should be sent
to Washington to make the public de-
mand still more emphatic. With so much
at stake the people Of Montana cannot be
too energetic. The press is doing its
duty, but the Montana house of represen-
tatives has as yet made no sign. 1t de-
wolves upon the people to make their
voice heard. That voice is not trammel-
led by party plots. Its decision comes
from supreme court that is higher than
the legislature. In these days OF tele
grahic communication congress will learn
promptly Of the uprising and will MOI
dare to defy 1t.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1889-02-13

MAJOR MARTIN MAGINNIs has describ-
ed clearly the situation of the statehood
movement at Washington. His. impartial
account reflects credit on the democratic
party, for it shows that it has acted fairly
and honorably by the territories ever since
Mr.. Springer put forward his omnibus
bill. Whether we win or lose,
the democratic party will gain in public
estimation by the course it has pursued.
1t has risen above party and displayed a
degree of liberality which the republi-
cans have never shown. If the republl-
cans defeat the omnibus bill In the senate
by oppositing the admission of New Mex.
leo or by some other crochet, their re,
sponslbility will be great and their pun,
ishment severe.

THE Grand Forks Plain-Deale,a says:
"rhe commissioners of Beadle county Of
which Huron is the county seat, have
done commendable act and one
which will remunerate the citizens with
larger interest than any other invest
inent made-namely, the appropriation
of $4,000 for advertising purposes. This
is to be used not only through the col
umns of the local papers, but by means
of circulars, both of which are to be dis
tributed widely throughout the country.
Nothing speaks SO we'll for the public
spirit and energy Of place as printers
ink. The journals of a city and town re-
fleet very largely the characteristics of
their patrons. Many have an idea that
the daily and weekly papers are used
only by the citizens OF the towns in which
they are published. On the other hand
they are distributed widely in the United
States and in foreig6 lands" The exam
pie set by Beadle county, merits atten-
ton in Montana.
