AS was expected, the decision in the
contested Tunnel precinct returns,
which involved the political complexion
OF the Montana legislature, was in favor
OF the democrats. the odds were
against the republicans from the start.
There is no doubt but that the Northern
Pacific grading gangs were coerced into
voting the democratic ticket, but the
claim that republican votes were not
counted was refuted by the fact that a
majority of the election judges were re-
publicans. The decision Of the court
was in accordance with established pre-
cedents. The settlement OF the contro-
versy will enable the president to issue
his statehood proclamation at once.

JUSTICE like truth is slow, but it
rarely fails to reach its destination. 1t
took the federal land Office seven and a
half years TO reach the frauds perpe-
trated by the McCook land office in
1882, but the decision is sufficiently en-
phatic to compensate for the delay.
The assistant secretary of the interior
aflirms the charges made by THE BEE
that the men in charge of the McCook
land Office conSpired with dozen or
more political strikers to secure control
of the land on Sinking Water creek
and rob honest settlers of the right
of entry. The fraud was so open
and glaring that the participants
did not attempt a denial, but
like Bill Tweed they defantiy asked,
what are you going to do about it?"
The general land Office answers by re-
pudiating three of the fraudulent en-
tries, and denouncing the conspiracy
against the laws OF the land. The de-
cision is a rebuke to Gilbert M. Laws,
who was then an official In the McCook
land office, and who connived at the
frauds. He now seeks to misrepresent
in congress the people he conspired
against.

AN able Presbyterian preacher CDR.
Saunders, of Kentucky,) maintains that
old men should be particular in the mat
ter of apparel.H He says they are apt to be
careless in dress, sometimes even sloven-
ly. This he holds to be a blunder. They
will receive more consideration when
becomingly clad,and it will have reflex
and beneficial influence on the spirits.
Indeed, the worthy doctor urges that old
men can less afford to be negligent of
attire than young men. They ought to
conceal the ravages of age and make
themselves agreeable by legitimate de-
vices of the toilet. This view is sup
-rantnd h1r m r,I,-aan si>l~-afinns -and- a
supplementary counsel might be added,
viz: that as age comes on, association
with young people mitigates its de-
pressing effects upon the mind.

Bell,tnttt Chronicle.
THURSDAY, AUGUST %, 1889.

OUR offer of low-rate campaign papers
met with responses from some of the
post-offices of the County. We desire to
express thanks to those of our friends
who interested themselves in the matter,
and to repeat the declaration that in no
other way can Republicans of the Coun-
ty so effec ually promote the good cause
in the campaign in which they will soon
be engaged.
The rate offered (25 cents each, in clubs
of ten and upward, until after the No
vember election, ought to add one thous-
and names to the subscription list of THE
CHRONICLE within two weeks. That ad
ditional constituency would be reached
and stirred every week for about fifteen
weeks, at cost of less than two cents a
week for each. Is this not, incompara-
bly,, the cheapest and best way to reach
the people? Is not the newspaper, 60
ing into families week after week for
more than three months, more apt to
make an impression than passionate ap-
peals addressed to men on the eve of the
election, at one hundred times the cost
The offer is still open, and we hope to
hear from every post-office of the County.
Remember: The price is 25 cents for each
subscriber, in clubs of ten or upward,
from the time received until the week
following the election.
This plan offers cheap, easy, and eff
fective way to reach the people, and the
Republicans of the County should avail
themselves of it with spirit.

THE citizens of Montana have been
in a state of discord in regard to the To-
cation of the capital of their young
commonwealth. A strong faction has
been in favor of Helena, while other fac
tions have favored various other places
At length the Constitutional Convention
has temporarily settled the disputed
question by voting to make Helena the
capital until 1892; when the matter is to
be submitted to the people, and the Other
towns will have an opportunity to COM
pete with Helena for the honor of be-
coming the permanent capital of the
State.

A TRAGIC STORY,

From the Bellaire Independent.
A tragedy in real life is sent out from
Elmira, n. Y, to which the names OF
former residents of this county appear
1t is sad tale of love, sin and death
The body of David S. Ramsey was ex-
humed at Elmira for investigation, and
the presence of arsenic in the stomach
was clearly proven. Ramsey's home
originally was at Cadiz. Early in the
7Otfes he married the daughter of George
Gosney, who lived not far from st.
Clairsville. He lived in this county un-
til about two years ago when he went
to Elmira. About fifteen years ago he
was divorced from his wife. She went
West after the divorce was procured and
married second time. Her husband
died, and reconciliation with Ramsey
having taken place, the remarriage of
the couple followed, and they went to
Ramsey's home to live. One morning
| after breakfast, about two weeks after
the wedding, Ramsey became violently
| i'll, and exhibited symptoms of poisoning.
| Every member of the family with the
exception of Mrs. Ramsey, was more or
less affected with the same symptoms.
DR.. Stagg was called and prescribed
some remedy. On the following Sun
day he was again called and found Ram
sey i'll with the same symptoms. The
other members of the family had recov-
cred. On the next Tuesday he was
again called, and found Ramsey in an
alarming condition. He continued to
grow worse, and after much suffering
his death occurred. Immediately after
Ramsey's burial his widow left the city
and went West. Three weeks after her
departure the report of her marriage in
Aledo, ILL.,, to a wealthy man named
Isaac Artz was received in Elmira. On
the complaint of Ramsey's sister, Mrs.
Carahan, of Elmira, his body was ex-
humed several weeks ago by the Coro-
ner in the presence of jury, and the
stomach with its contents sent to Prof.
Miller. Mrs. Carahan had the body ex-
humed because there was reason to be-
lieve that he had been fOully dealt with.
MI. hdHloty lllllScI Ucllcfcu IudG lie lldU
been poisoned by eating meat. In Mrs.
Carahan's opinion it must have been
either poisoned meat or poisoned coffee
which caused his illness and death. The
story, as told by intimate friends of the
dead man, is that Mrs. Ramsey was in
love with Artz, and that he wanted to
mari nCI, UuU OcUsoOu pa fIICt E,I<,,pa
ing that he would not marry a di-
vorced woman under any circumstances.
Then, it is alleged, she effected recon-
ciliation with Ramsey, remarked him
and poisoned him. After his death she
went West, and as she was a widow,
Artz married her. The Coroner will |
take steps to procure requisition from
Governor Hill for Mrs. Artz, and have
her taken to Elmira for trial on a charge |
of murder in the first degree. Officers |
at Aledo, ILL.,, have her in charge. The
Corners jury will meet on Monday to
hear the testimony so taken.

TOO MUCH SMOKE FOR NO FIRE
Cleveland Leadt

/
| Cleveland Leader.
1t is now possible to tell definitely the
number and nature of the election con-
tests which will be brought before the
House of Representatives for settle
ment. Seventeen seats for which certifi-
Gates were given to Democrats are
claimed by Republican candidates. In
some cases testimony is already printed,
and in all the charges on which the con-
tests are based have been formally
stated. The Committee on Contested
Elections will have about 10000 pages
of printed testimony, some cases furn-
ishing no less than 1,600 or 1000 pages
apiece. In nearly every instance intim-
idatiOn of voters and tampering with
the returns are charged, and in several
cases bribery is alleged. All of the con-
teStants furnish numerous details Of
fraud and misconduct on the part of
their opponents or the election officers
The most striking fact in connection
with this large number of contests is the
geographical location of the disputed
districts. One is in Indiana, and all the
rest are below the old boundary between
freedom and slavery. West Virginia,
Virginia, and Mississippi have three
contested districts each, Alabama two,
and South Carolina, Maryland, Florida,
Arkansas, and Tennessee one each. On
the face of the returns there were more
Democrats elected to Congress by mar
row pluralities in the North than In the
South, and yet only one district in the
entire country north of Mason and
Dixon's line is disputed. This means 3
radical difference between the political
methods of the two sections. Where
there is so much smoke even a Demo-
crat must admit that there is plenty of
fire behind it. The wholesale charges OF
crimes of various kinds against the
right of suffrage are not made idly or
without abundant support. The de-
frauded Republican candidates have evil
denee of shutting out of legal votes by
willful challenging, bribery, intimida-
ton, the corruption and debaucbing Of
supervisors, the securing Of
votes from moonShiners by promises Of
protection to Illicit distillers, the stuff
ing of ballot boxes, the voting Of un-
Democrats, the doctoring OF
returns, the issuing of at least one GER
tificate of election not warranted by the
returns, and the throwing of two ballot
boxes into a lake in Florida makes one
novel feature of the charges.
Congress will witness some sensation
al scenes when this mass of evidence Is
presented to the country. There
will be wholesale denials and a great
leal of wild talk on the part of the DEM
)crats, from the South especially, and
he whole question of race injustice in
he former slave States is certain to be
thoroughly discussed. The result can
lot fail to be salutary. Evil withers in
he light and flourishes in eoncealment,
md the better classes in the South will
De the more reluctant to tolerate or par
icipate in political outrages the more
hey are exposed to the scorn and con-
OF the world by such evil
lence as that which now awaits the at
ention of Congress.

ever saw such a picture of incarnate
hatred as that depicted upon Terry's
face. Terry did not heed the marshal's
warning, and raised his clenehed fist to
strike another blow. This menacing
gesture was the last act Of his life.
Quick as flash Nagle drew his pistol
and sent a ball through his heart.
A great cOmmotiOn then arose In the
dining room and on the platform. Mrs.
Terry ran about from the train to the
dining hall door, frantically demanding
her satchel, which some one had taken
from her. She then stormed about
the door, demanding entrance, and
charging those who had barred her out
with shielding murderers.
Colonel Otis declared: II happen to
know that the Deputy Marshal was act
| ing under direct instructions from the
Attorney General to protect the persons
of Judges Field and Sawyer at all
hazards"
TERRY'S CAREER
David S. Terry was at one time Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia and has always been prominent
figure in the political history of the
State.
THE CAUSE OF THE DISPUTE.
He was married to Sarah Althea Hill,
who claimed to be the wife Of ex-Sena-
tor Sharon, while prosecuting her claim
against the Sharon estate. This brought
him into a resentful attitude toward
Justice Field, who last year rendered a
decision in the United States Circuit
Court, denying her claim to being the
wife of Sharon.
Mrs. Terry created a scene In court
during the reading of the decision,
charging Justice Field with being cor
rupt, and as she refused to remain quiet,
Justice Field directed that she be re-
moved from court. When a deputy at
tempted to carry out the order of the
Court she became involved in personal
quarrel with that official, and Judge
Terry interfered, drawing a dagger from
his vest. He was disarmed, and both
Terry and his wife were adjudged in
contempt and committed to jail.
David S. Terry was born in Todd
county Kentucky, in 1923. In 1855 he
was elected Justice of the Supreme
Court of California on the Native Amer
can ticket, and upon the death Of Chief
Justice Murray in 1857 Judge Terry be-
came Chief Justice. He was opposed
to the Vigilance Committee Of 1865, and
stabbed one of the members of the COM
mittee who had attempted to arrest
Maloney, friend of Terry.
Terry was held by the vigilantes, but
was afterward released. He killed Sen
ator Broderick in 1859 as a result of po-
litical differences, Terry belonging to
what was known as the 'Chivalry" wing
of the Democratic party. In 1880 Terry
was defeated as Hancock elector, al
though his associates were elected.
September 8, 1888, he was sent to jail
for six months for contempt of court by
Justice Field

MR.. GRADY'S NEW SOUTH.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
A very sad blow has been given the
fair city of Atlanta, Ga. The postmas-
ter there has appointed negro registry
clerk, and the Bourbon newspapers are
making great fuss in double-leaded ar
ticles about it. We do not find that the
negro is objected to as incompetent, but
he happened to be negro and that is an
objectionable offense in the South.
There is at present no hope that Atlanta
will recover from this terrible affiiction.

OLD WAR SONGS.
BRAVE BOYS ARE THEY.

Heavily falls the rain,
Wild are the breeZeS tonight,
But meath the roof, the hours as the fly,
Are happy and calm and bright.
Gathering around our fireSide,
Tho it be Summer time,
We sit and talk of brothers abroad,
Forgetting the midnight chime.
Brave boys are they!
Gone at their eOuntry's call,
And yet, and yet, We cannot forget,
That many brave boys must fall
Under the homestead roof,
Nestled so eozy and warm,
While soldiers sleep with little or naught,
To shelter them from storm.
Resting on grassy cOucheS,
widowed on hillOcks damp;
OF martial fare, how little We know,
Till brothers are in the camp.
Chorus-Brave boys are they, etc.
Thinking no less of them,
Loving our country more,
We sent them forth to fight for the flag
Their fathers before them bore.
Tho the great tear-drOpS started
This was our parting trust,
"GOd bless you, boys! Well welcome you hOmt
When rebels are in the dust"
May the bright wings of love
Guard them wherever they roam;
The time has come when brothers must fight,
And sisters must pray at home.
Oh! the dreadful field of battle!
Soon to be strewn with gravesl
If brothers fall, then bury them where
Our banner in triumph waves

THE GOOD DEEDS 1T DOES.

From the Nashville Christian Advocate.
Christianity crosses continents and
seas to seek and save the lost; kindles
he light of hope in the convict's camp,
in stockade or mine; finds its way to the
hospital and the prison where the sick
are dying and the sinful are perishing:
goes to the rough and out-of-the-way
places of earth, where the least favored
of our brothers and sisters are fighting
their hard battle, unseen, unpitied, un-
helped.
