Canadian half-breeds. They had plenty
of money and tadglefoot with them in
their wagon. The horses had the appear

HELENA, Sept. 26.-[Special to the
LEADER The greatest confidence pre-
walls in republican circles that Montana
will go republican by from 5000 to 1000
majority next Tuesday. Even the lead
ing democrats concede that the state is in
doubt with the chances in favor Of the
republicans.
The great fight OH the democratic side
is now for the legislature and congress
man. Money is being sent into each
county for this purpose only. Thousands
of dollars will be paid out between now
and the close Of the polls election day.
The republican state committee is fully
advised as to the movements and doings
of the democratic boodlers in the several
counties, and it is not at all unlikely that
some of the Doodle leaders will be ar
rested.
In Madison county, one man paid out
fifteen hundred dollars in three days tt

Much of the work that goes to make
up a country is done voluntarily by
individuals without hope of reward
and in very modest way. For more
than three years, first at Eustis and
latterly at Colby, Mr.. Charles +. Ben
nett has contributed to our readers a
meteorological report monthly and at
the end of each year an annual report.
The great value of these reports can
be seen at a glance. In this issue of
the CAT may be found such reports,
and Mr.. Benefits observations are
well worth the attention of our farm
ers. From scientific standpoint
such reports are replete with interest
and scientists consulting the records
made by Mr.. Bennett in our columns
on file in the library of the state his
torical society at Topeka may with
great profit and accuracy compile the
atmospheric conditions of western
Kansas for the past three years. Mr..
Bennett deserves a vote Of thanks
from this community for his painstak-
ing efforts. At the present time he
is endeavoring to have established in
Colby regular signal service station,
and should receive the needed assist
ance from the city.

The Colby Democrat last week had
an article headed "Smut'' in bold type
which for smut and false representa-
tons excels anything every previous
ly offered by the boldest Annanias in
Western Kansas. Among other things
it charges that the county commits
sioners allowed salaries to W. W.
Walker and also paid Prof. Sullivan
for services as county superintendent
for the same time. This is absolutely
and unqualifiedly false. ". W. Walk
ers salary was cut for the quarter to
just the amount allowed Prof. Sulli-
van. 1t also stated that the commits
sioners paid NJ. W. Williams bill of
60 cents per diem for board of prison
ers contrary to law. Again this is
absolutely false-the commissioners
cut Mr.. Williams bill and he sued the
county for the difference and recover
ed judgment for the amount of the
cut, the case now stands for hearing
before the district court. As to the
poor bills allowed many of them were
cut from the original charge and in
number of cases the board visited the
county charge and made strict invest
igation. The merchants who furnish
ed the goods did so upon the order of
the trustees and acted in good faith,
ard the board could not act otherwise
than in allowing the bills after reduc-
ing what they found was an over
charge. In the case of the trustee of
Morgan township, it was found that
he was not performing his duties
properly, and he was asked to resign,
and did so. That he was guilty of
any criminal offense did not appear.
If he was it is rs much the duty of
the editor of the Democrat to prefer
criminal charees against him as it was
the duty of either of the commission
ers. Every time the Democrat under
takes to criticise or berate the action
of the commissioners it deliberately
descends to falsehOod or blunders in
to an unenviable position until the
citizens of the county have come to
regard its headlines As synonyms
| for untruth.

The Kansas legislature on Monday
last by resolution declares that Sena-
tor Plumb should be in Harrison s
cabinet. There is no doubt but that
Plumb would fill any position into
which he might be called with honor
to our nation, state, and Harrison s
administration, but the action of the
legislature in attempting to coerce, in
however respectful language, presi-
dent Harrison to tender Kansas o pO-
sition in his cabinet is to say the least
of doubtful propriety.

lteriOr nor attorney general

We trust thai the legislature this
winter will make sufficient appropria-
tons for the State Historical Society
to enable it to properly carry on its
work. This society has in thirteen
years collected library of over forty
eight thousand volumes of books.
pamphlets, newspaper files and manu-
scripts, and pictures and relics of his
tory without number. 1t gathers up
everything printed in Kansas, and a
vast amount of historical and scientif-
ic matter besides. Its library has be-
come one of reference for original
facts and data upon all subjects. Its
chief value to the people of Kansas is
that 1t contains the facts in the history
OF our own state and of every county
and locality. 1t gathers up the local
printed matter issued from every
printing press in the state, including
the issues of every newspaper. These
are bound and arranged for conven.
lent reference. SO that any citizen of
the state can at any time trace the his
tory of any locality and find a full
statement of every past event. For
example, the library now contains :
volumes of the newspapers of Thomas
county. 1t has $751; volumes of Kan.
sas newspaper files, including those
first issued in Kansas Territory in
1854, and published through all the
earliest years of the territory and state.
The library is the property of the
state, and the state is saving no prop
erty which will prove of so much value
to the people of the future genera
tons.
The appropriations heretofore made
have not been sufficient to properly
pay the persons employed in the work
Of the society. and the working force
shosld be largely increased. The So
ciety has grown beyond all expecta-
ton. rs work has greatly augmented
from year to year, and double the for
mer appropriations are now needed.
The present and future value of the
collections Of this society cannot be
estimated. and its support should not
be stipted.
