According to the. Helena Journal
man mnst be declared and presumed
guilty until he establishes his innocence
Y1s fscs Of the returns, the afidavits Of
reputable citizens and the ~rascality Of
the Republican ~conspirators all 20 to
prove that ten Democrats were elected
to the Legislature from this county, and
yet tho Journal, in the exercise of d foHfc
which distinguishes it, declares that it
should be presumed that these ten men
vsre not elected; that 1t is the business
OF thse delegates-elect to show that GER
tain other men were not elected. OF all
ahsuEditiss that is perhaps the boldest
and most idiotic. 1t Is time for the fool
killer 10 visit Helena and to call st the

Does anybody for n minute suppose
that if the Tunnel had voted as Jack bel
his money and boosted that 1t would
vote, that the .immaterial Irregularities
on the part :~sof the judges and clerks
would have excited Mr.. Jacks ire? The
returns from many Republican precincts
were irregular in, precisely the same
manner and in some cases were objected
to by Democrats, but Jack, the bull
dozer, who for years played the bull dog
at the door of the county treasury vault,
decided that they were immaterial.

THE ELE VENTH CENSUS.
A Report of the Mode of Procedure to Be
Adopted.

Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The report OF
Robert P. Porter, superintendent OF the
eleventh census, concerning the operations
OF the census Office since June. 1889, OK.
plains in detail the vast amount OF work
that will begin next year. The method In.
augurated by the Office and approved by
the secretary OF the interior will not only
bring the best work and leave the supsrin.
tendent free to act with great rapidly
when the demand is greater for clerks, but
ls In the line of practical civil service re-
form. Several important reports OF the
eleventh census will be ready for publica.
ton during the fall and winter OF 1890,
and he makes a suggestion which, il
adopted by congress, will secure, he thinks,
the publication Of the volumes speedily a.
ter they are ready for the printer. The
plan is to have the volumes printed by
private contract, or by having the census
Office print and publish them itself. The
work preliminary to enumeration is well
in hand. The population schedule has
been prepared and in addition to the in.
formation called for by the tenth census,
the schedule will ascertain what Language
is spoken by every person 10 years OF sge;
how long the adult males OF foreign birth
have been in the United States and whether
they are naturalized; how many children
each married woman has had, and how
many OF them are living, and
the classification by races will include
nulattos, quadroons and octoroons'

The governor Of Washington territory
forgot to sign the copy Of the constitu-
ton which was sent to President Harri-
son. 1t has delayed the proclamation Of
admission and because the 9th instant
was the legal date on which the legisla-
tnre should have convened, there is a
confusion which ia about as embarrass-
ing as the Tunnel precinct controversy
has been In this territory.

fully with the command of the writ.

The Inter Mountain can't come the
razzle-dazzle act of injured innocence in
this matter Of the judgeship. There are
no ~hayseeds even in the average Mon.
tanian's hair, no dust on his coat collar,
nor cobwebs across his. mental vision.
He knows that a judgment has been rem
dered by the district court in this city
which declares that J. j. Mediation has
been elected to succeed Judge DeWolfe
and he knows that until it is declared
otherwise by a higher tribunal it tran
sends a CARLOAD of certificates.

the dignity Of the bench, the rights Of
