Mountain Telegraph company, returned
to Anaconda yesterday. bringing with
him his wife and the Misses Durstan. Of
Syracuse, N. Y.
A WAC says, "That's one HI of a way to
build up Great Falls-to print pamphlet,
and have all the composition, proof-read-
ing, press-work, binding, etc, done in St.
Paul." That, friend, is very simple ex-
ample under the rule Of How not to-
do-it.
THE decision in the circuit court at
Charleston, w. v, dismissing the in
junction and certiorari is splendid
triumph for the republicans and gives
Goff and McGinnis a clear plurality on
the face of the returns for governor and
Congress, both republicans.
GEN. HARRISON, on New Years eve,
said he would like to hear a buglc call
throughout the land demanding !. pure
and free ballot, honestly expressed and
fairly counted, which is the safeguard of
our institutions; and its suppression under
any circumstances cannot be tolerated.
That's pure republicanism.
EX-Gov. HOADLEy. Of Ohio, is attorney
fot Chac Chin Ping, celestial seeking to
return to the United States, his certiti-
cate having been declared void under the
Scott Chinese exclusion act of Oct. l, 1883.
1t is contended that the clause of the
Scott act declaring the certificates void
is unconstitutional in its abro CATION OF
vested rights.

$50 letters; 169,5o0 papers; 29,5sS postal
cards: and made 1883 registers. Tho total

| JUDGE MOODY, Of Deadwood, senator
elect for the State OF South Dakota, aftel
an interview with Gen. Harrison, reach
ed Washington Sunday night. He pre-
diets that no action will be take this scs
sion on any bill for the admission Of new
States, but there will be an extra session
of the fifty first congress called about thu
first of June, at which something effective
may be done.
THERE is scarcely doubt that tn.
Senate will refuse to confirm carpet bal
appointment for chief justice Of Mon
tana, if Cleveland should insult her Loyal
people by such an appointment, as sug
gested by Delegate Toole. A republican
Senate may be depended upon, equal,
with republican president in its fealt,
to the republican policy Of home rule i,
the Territories.

the Montana Central railway, returned

eral office, returning to Helena Tuesda,
