"3--7--77" REVIVED.
Montana vigilantes Resnscitated to NIete
Out Yengence to the LaWless.

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 5.-The figures
s'3-7-77," the warning of vigilantes to
hard cases, were chalked on street cor
ners and printed in the evening papers.
This call for return to the methods of
early days was occasioned by the dis
covery of four fires in as many houses
Thursday morning in the heart of the
business region. All the fires We're put
out before serious damage was done, and
in each case it was found that rags had
been saturated with oil and fired. The
incendiaries are evidently the same gang
who have been in the Northwestern
towns during the summer, and to whom
the big fire in Butte last Sunday is at
tributed. The city is patroled by special
police and if fire bug is caught his
chances for lynching are good.

-Four Miners Fatally Injured by an Explo-
sion of Dynamite.
HoUGHToN, Mich, Oct. 5.-A terrible
explosion occurred in the Red Jacket
perpendicular shaft of the Calumet and
Hecla mine at noon. Twenty-six miners
were working at the bottom of the shaft
over 1000 feet below the surface. The
blasts Of dynamite We're fired as usual at
night, but one charge failed to explode.
AT noon miner accidentally struck the
cartridge with his pick and an explosion
followed. The men We're huddled to-
gether and it is remarkable that any es-
capped death. Two. Alfred Erickson and
Otto F. Lincl, We're killed outright Mel
son Bloom and Capt. John Cameron were
fatally injured. Seven others We're hurt,
some Of them very seriously.

The New York Press claims the
credit of republican success in the
northwestern states for the national
committee. We don't know how it was
in the other states, but in South Dako-

mlrable campaign of Mr.McCoy's COM
mittee. executed by home talent.

The citizens of Mitchell owe hearty
vote of thanks to the members of the
capital committee for the magnificent
Work done in the recent campaign;
while on the other hand, the commit
tee has reason to feel gratided with
the.hearty support, financial and NOR
al, which the citizens gave it from the
beginning. No mistakes were made
and no effort was spared to make
telling fight, and wherever Mitchell
may feel inclined to Jay blame for her
disappointment it cannot be upon her
committee, or upon any one of the
hundred unselfsh citizens who dropped
their private business and gave their
whole time to the canvass, without
thought of compensation. The ladies',
also, deserve their full share of credit,
not only for the active support they
have given the cause. but for the self
sacrifice they haye suffered in the tenn
porary decentralization of domestic ar
rangements, and in the hours of lone
illness by reason of the absence of their
liege lords in the capital quest.
The press, too, can take to itself
some measure of satisfaction tor its
efforts, for it's unceasing advocacy of
NIitchelrs claims. day and night. has
given this city a name and IA standing
for energy and enterprise which will
endure forever.
And to her many good friends every
where, who stood up for Mitchell in
the face of bribery and malicious mis-
representation. who voted and worked
according to their convictions of right
and for the greatest good to the great
est number, we extend without partie-
ularizing, the heartfelt thanks OF
every citizen of this city. These friends
may draw on Mitchell at sight and the
draft will always be honored.

Labor's Candidate for Governor.

responded to the call for public meet
ing Of Single Tax men, Nationalists,
Knights Of Labor, Trades Unionists, So
cialists' Greenbackers and independent
voters generally at the Workingmen's
institute, to consider what course to pur-
sue i'll the coming campaign. Both the
old parties were severely censured. The
conduct of James II. Miller. of Worces-
ter, in the recent Democratic conven-
ton, was applauded. Resolutions were
adopted endorsing him as labor advo-

DUBLIN, Oct. 5.-While the authorities

Cornwall, from confinement, that gentle
man deliberately violated one of the
rules OF the prison and was taken back
to his cell. AS Mr.. Conybeare has served
but little more than two months of a six
months term for offenses against the
crimes act, in participating in the plan
of campaign, it is possible that his de-
fiant conduct will subject him to the
necessity of serving out the remainder of
his term, notwithstanding the condition
of his health, which was the reason of
his intended release.

A BABY FOR SALE.

Saturday there arrived in this city
on foot from up the river somewhere,
an Arab woman and her two chill.
dren, one boy about twelve years

could not provide for the child pro-

baby is bright black eyed little
thing, looks healthy enough, and
there might be bargain in II Mt

Our old friend Gen. j. f. Temple
informs us that while he hos not yet
heard definitely as to the time when
the Pennsylvania Railroad authori-
ties will meet with the Mt. Morris cit
liens, yet meeting has been promis-
ed. At present other matters are en-
crossing the minds and attention OF
the II r. officials. From what we
can learn the Pennsylvania men are
willing to consider the proposition
to be made to them, and they will
doubtless build the road if it seems
to them likely to yield a profit in af-
ter years. They are favorable to all
lines that can act as feeders to their
main roads. The w. d w. has been
acting in this capacity, and the
Pennsylvania Company will make
no objections to an extension, in
fact they will be anxious for it if
they can be convinced of its future
usefulness to them. Much will de-
pend on the promised meeting. If
proper inducements can be held out
to them and if they are favorably
impressed by the prospect, they
may make favorable report which
will secure the road, or if otherwise
impressed the report may be receiv-
ed as final, and the prospect will be
blasted, not only for the present but
for years to come. Ifsuch meeting
is held it will be a vastly important
one to the interests of the road, and
everything should be done to show
the desire of the community to as
sist in bringing the road to Mt. Nor

erty will be lasting and cannot well

The farmers of Michigan are CON-
ing out of the lethargy that has
made fools of them for so many
years. The Patrons of Husbandry
in that state, awakened by the OPP
preston of the sugar trust and other
unholy combinations, are re organi-
zing in a most vigorous manner, and
already there are $4,000 Changers
enrolled in the various societies
of the state. There is a determine
tion on their part to submit no
longer to these mercantile oppres-
sions; and organizations for self pro-
lection are springing up everywhere.
They are beginning to see what the
effect is Of such monopolies as pro-
tective tariff encourages and fosters
in the land. While all their pro-
duets are sold at price fixed by
others, also they buy is sold at
prices fixed by Others also, so that
they are merely levers of wood and
drawers of water for the commercial
world.
This presents the unjust features
of commerce. The commerce and
trade OF the world is merely the
handling Of the products of the
aericulturist and miner. Yet the
producers and laborers are merely
machines to produce and labor for
the monopolists who have all the
benefits and protection oflaw which
the poor devils who make country
have nothing in their behalf except
sham and pretcnse.-Sentinel.

1t will no doubt amaze many that

been little heard of and less thought
of, Indians to the number of 10000
will be American citizens and cleo
tors in time to be bought up by Quay
and his companions in 1892. Under
an act of Congress every adult. buck
who receives an allotment of land in
severalty is entitled to vote Since
the Republicans are reduced to the
necessity of depending upon cash to
carry elections they have gone into
the business of manufacturing igno-
rant and purchasable voters. With
the negroes in the South, the Indians
in the North and the monopolists in
the East they only need the Chinese
on the Pacific coast to complete a
quadrangular combination which
wouldastonish the woodland des-
