A HOKY-PokY TEST CASE.
Bagor Commercial.

1t looked at one time to-day as IL an il
lustration of the peddler's law might be
seen in this city. The man who furnishes
the motive of power for the "hoky-poky"
ice cream cart which is pushed about the
streets was taken up to the police station
to see if he was at all affected by the law
1t was decided after a consultation among
those in authority that as the man had .
place of business in the city and only de-
livered his goods around town like groc-
er he could not be required to take out q
license. So he was allowed to depart in
peace and his musical voice crying "hoky-
poky" is still heard in the land. No chance
has as yet been had to illustrate the good
effects of the law.

The Northern Pacific Business In Montans
Divided Between Butte and Helena.
The Helena Independent OF Friday
printed the following under the heading
"Oficial Announcements"
.Trafic Manager j. NJ. Hannaford, %
the Northern Pacific, has just issued the
following circular:
".Mr. A. L. Stokes having resigned to take
service with another company. Mr.. Al
Edgar is hereby appointed general agent
representing both the freight and passen'
ger departments, with headquarters al
Helena, Mont. and will have gsneralsuper
vision of Montana traffic except to and
from Montana Union railway points.
".Mr. James McCaig, agent OF this com.
pany at Blu. te, Mont, is hereby q pointed
general agent representing both the freigh!
and passenger departments, with Office at
Butte, as heretofore, and will have general
supervision of traffic to and from Montana
Union railway points.
"'Appointments to take effect April ],
1891
"The only item OF news 10 this is the pro-
motion of James McCaig from agent to
general agent. Heretofore he has reported
to the Helene Office, but will now report
to the st. Paul Office. BE will also be
agent OF the GaIlatin branch into Butte
work upon which will 500 begin in earn
est"
Mr.. McCaig was seen yesterday by q re-
porter and shown the item when he stated
that the circular had not been received by
him up to that time. though q private tele'
gram from Mr.. Hannaford received in the
beginning OF the week informed him that
the change was then ordered. It ia in purs
suanca of an arrangement made by Mr.
Hannaford when he was here some weeks
ago. 1t will be seen that the announcement
gives Mr.. McCaig charge Of the Gallatin
branch and accounts for Mr.. McCaig re
naming in Butte instead of being promoted
to the general agency at Helena when Colo
mel Stokes resigned.

An INTERNATIONAL EPISODE.
A Fight Between Four Americans and Two
Mexican Policemen.

A Fight Between Four Americans and two
Mexican Policemen.
Ell PAso, Tex, March 2o.-There is con.
siderable excitement on both sides Of thu
river over the shooting OF two Mexican
policemen at Paso del Norte. last night
by four Americans. whom officers have
since attempted to arrest for disorderlJ
conduct. The Americans escaped to thit
side by swimming the river. One OF thu
policemen is dead. and the other badly
wounded.
Ell PAso, Texas, March ga fight be
tween four Americans and two policemen
took place at Paso Del Norte last night
Owing to the intense excitement on the
ots er side, the reporters deemed it unsafe
to go over to investigate, aud obtained tht
information from q Mexican official who
came over to this side, to-day.
The excitement has quoted down, some
what, and it 10 discovered that neither o.
the wounded policemen were dead, but on
cannot live. The one reported dead fel
an acQuia when shot and dislocated his
right shoulder. Mexican soldiers followed
the Americans to the river and shot al
them as they were climbing out OF the
water on the American side.
United States Consul Mackey at Paso
Del Norte says he cannot take any steps
looking to the arrest Of the Americans az
they had escaped to this side.

The Bismarck government Is still pur-
suing the American newspaper cores
pondent, Klein. and now demands or
requests his arrest and return to Samoa
to be tried for murderous assault. The
dispatch states that it is asked that he be
tried before the American consul. This
is, in all probability, but a device to get
Klein where the vindictive emissaries of
Bismarck can dictate terms or seize him
at option. The American government
should peremptorily refuse to grant the
request. 1t is one Of Bismarck's at
tempts to divert attention from the
enormity of the German outrages in
connection with Samoan matters, and to
throw the United States government on
the defensive.

THE MINER has said nothing against
the personality of any of the members Of
the present City Council. Personally
they are fellow-men and good citizens.
But The MINER disapproves Of their
methods of conducting some Of the city
business. It believes they have not
kept their promises, made, doubtless, in
good faith, to the voters, last year. OF
course each Alderman has a reason, to
him sufficient, for this lack Of fidelity,
but the fact remains that the promises
made were not kept, and the public has
never been given any good reason for
this failure on the part of the reform"
Aldermen. These are sufficient reasons
for demanding a change.

WHERE THE CREDIT BELONGS.
Certain Republicans are arrogating to
themselves credit for Kidding the city of
the sure-thing crowd. AS q matter of
fact the leaders are here yet, evidently
busy manipulating Republican wires.
So this assumption of legislating against
them is a mere bluff, q device for throw
ing the people off the scent, as 1t were,
and thus paving the way for hoodwink-
ing them again on election day.
It Is true, however, that some of the
Republican members Of the City Council,
after q good deal Of Democratic prodding,
were forced to join with the Democrats
in the Council and prohibit the further
continuance Of the sure-thing games in
the city. This action on their part was,
evidently, very reluctantly taken, and
the reasons were never more apparent
than at this time when the sure-thing
leaders are to be seen plotting for Repub-
lican success at the coming city election.
Oh, yes; the Republicans are entitled to
a mountain Of credit for what wal done
about the s~ure-thing games!
