ceeding that had ever come to his notice:
that the duties of the canvaSSing board
were purely ministerial, the law simply
empowering them to canvass the vote
as returned by the judges and that by
no stretch of authority could they reject
any return which was certified to by
the election Judges. Silver Bow held
the balance of power in the territory,
and the rejected precinct turned the
scale in that county. This was the
only reason the Republicans threw 1t
of the democratic state committee
who has charge of Democratic interests
during the illness of Chairman DAILY,
says the action of the Republicans is
simply an attempted steal in the inter-
est of Wilbur +. Sanders senatorial as
piratiOns, who has half a dozen plant
tools, who, at his bidding, will commit
any outrage against the ballot box he
may support.
1.-The entire Sanders plot said Mr.. Steel,
rs known 10 US, and the conspirators stop at
nothing to attain their ends. We have the
law, justice and the people on our SIDE ana
that the Schemers will ingloriOusly fail in
their plans, have no doubt We have taken
every precautiun TO guard the Interests OF the
people, and nothing short of the most flag
rant violation OF the law will cheat the Dem
polls"
People near to Sanders say Judge De-
Wolfe, before whom the con Tested case
will be heard Nov. Z. and who is a Dem
ocrat and one of Cleveland's appointee's,
will not hear the case; that he will b
removed by Harrison before the cas-.
comes to trial and a man put in his stead
who will remember first his duty to his
party. If Judge DeWOlfe should be re-
moved by Harrison at this luncture every
one knows it could be for but one rea-
sOH, and the storm of indignation which
would go out from Montana would be as
great as that which arose in New York
city on that day in November, 1884,
when the men who were trying to steal
the presidency from Cleveland by their
work and gold, acknowledged the defeat
of Blaine. Judge DeWolfe is an hOnOra-
ble man, whe never mixes in politics and
who has always stood at the head OF the
legal profession. His decisions are
always short and clear, and every one is
willing to leave the result of this con-
test to his honesty and intelligence.
Chairman Jack, of the canvaSSing board,
left Butte to-day for Scotland. He goes
straight to New York and sails on the
first steamer. Though he will not face
the legal proceedings, in the opinion OF
prominent lawyers, will hold against the
other two members of the board.

General Muddle.

The reported acquisition by the Penn
sylvania lines of the Lake Superior
Transit company, and the conflicting re-
port that the Pennsylvania was dissatis-
fed with the amount Of business it was
receiving from the Lake Superior
Transit company, do not tally, and.
neither of them seems to be consistent.
The Lake Superior Transit company
was formed by combination of three
lines, the New York, Lake Erie & West
ern, the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central, which put the boats they
each owned together, forming one COM
pany. 1t is highly improbable that the
Pennsylvania could buy the other lines
out, and it is also improbable that the
Pennsylvania will withdraw. All that
will be necessary, if it wants to, will be
to send the two boats owned by it to
Chicago instead of to Buffalo, as at
present. The rumor of an arrange
ment between the Pennsylvania and
the st. Paul & Duluth is mere fiction.

THE END Is NEAR.
Lake Traffic Freight Rates-WiA
/. Jumn,


1t is expected that lake traffic will
close earlier than usual this season.
The limit of Insurance runs out on Oct.
81. After which date the rate is too
high for most classes of merchandise.
In an average season boats run until
late in November, but the business is,
as a rule, light. The next two weeks
will be the heaviest of the season on
the lakes, as he bulk of the stock for
being shipped. In consequence the
boats are doing a rus. ;ag business.
Jobbers are getting in heav. shipments
via the lakes, foreseeing rise in freight
rates at the close of navigation. When
the competition of the lake traffic is
withdrawn, there will be no excuse for
not raising freight rates to legitimate
paying basis. The present rates on
many things are altogether too
low for making any profit. The
action of the 500 line causes an ele-
ment of uncertainty in the prospects
for a restoration Its position is Pc
culiar, as in combination with the Cana
dian Pacific it can make just what rates
it pIeases, the latter road not being
amenable to the interstate commerce
law. Whether it will use its power to
keep rates down remains to be seen,
but it is impossible, as the officials Of
the road do not want to figure as de-
mOraliZers. The indications are for an
advance in rates between st. Paul and
Eastern points as soon as ever naviga-
ton ceases on the lakes, and with it the
necessity for granting differentlal to
lake and sail lines.

feels confident that the measure will
pass the legislature. He denies the re-
port concerning the promise of appoint
ment of an Ottawa man as deputy min
lister of education, and has no intention
of taking legal proceedings against his
maligners. They have made themselves
ridiculous and done him no harm.

CONTRARY TO LAW.
Southwestern Roads Are Discrim-
mating in Cattle and Grain
Rates.


CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The interstate
commerce commission has just decided
a question that seems to fit the case Of
the Rock Island against the Chicago &
Alton, which was heard by the commits
sion in this city two weeks ago. The
case in question is complaint against
various Southern railroads regarding
the relative rates on lumber from Macon
and Atlanta, Ga. The commission says:
When freight is taken up at Macon or else
where and delivered at Atlanta for sale, or
other purposes, not incident or necessary TO
true transportation, the shipment is COM
plete, and when such freight is forwarded
the carriage from Atlanta is a new under
taking.
1t therefore holds that the railroads
cannot make less rate on such freight
when reshipped to Boston than it
charges on regular local shipments. In
the same line of reasoning, it appar-
emily must be ruled that the present
practice of the Southwestern roads, in
applying through rates to cattle and
grain that are unloaded at Kansas City,
and afterward forwarded to Chicago, is
contrary to law.
