some doubt is cast on Carter's sincerity
when he gives AZ one of the many rea-
sons for retiring that the two %(so-called)
senators and himself are from Helena,
and that it would be only fair to give
the rest of the state representation. Who.
ever knew a Helena republican to dis
play such generosity? How considerable
Carter has become! Why doesn't he sug-
gest to Tom Power that he might step
down and out without exciting public re-
greet. He might say the same to Sanders
with perfect veracity. The democrats
may amuse themselves with Carter's
pleasantries, but they won't heed
them. They will elect their own candi-
date whether he runs or not.

Who doubts that there is a chance left
for Judge Larkin and other bachelors
who pine in single blessedness at Barker
and Neihart? A Boston telegram SAYS
that "Miss Ida Lewis Watson, the famous
New England 'poetess of passion is
about to be married. The gentleman who
intends to bestow his name on the poet
ess is named Francis Washington Hig-
gins, a miner from Deadwood. S. D. His
relationship with Miss Watson is roman
tic. Early in last September
he received in Deadwood, s. d.,
by mistake, a letter written by
the poetess to a friend. He wrote the
poetess a letter explaining the mistake
and in return received a letter which
showed that his correspondent was the
authoress of a little book of poems. A
correspondence ensued which ripened
into affection and an interchange of pict-
ures led to an engagement" If the
school teachers of the Rocky Mountain
club had remained here who can tell in,
how many happy homes they would now
be presiding? Mining regions are full of
romance.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
FRIDAY, AUGUST l. 1880.
THE REPUBLICAN, QUANDART

While the republicans are greatly puz-
zled to find a candidate for congressman,
Colonel McCutcheon of Helena remains
modestly in the background. He may
be seen here cross-examining the wit
nesses Or addressing juries, needless of
the peril which besets the Montana wing
of the grand old party" He is in some
respects a modern Cincinnatus who pre-
fers quiet pursuits to the turmoil of poll
tics or the honors which the public load
on others who are less deserving.
We say less deserving, for Colonel Nc
Cutcheon outranks Carter, for instance,
In party services. He came here as Sec
rotary of the territory from the state of
Michigan, where, it may be presumed, he
worked hard with the Wards, Trowbrid-
ges and other party leaders to roll up the
big republican majorities which the
Wolverine state gave until the people
found out that the republican party was
a huge machine to plumber the country,
provide offices for "workers" and CON
done the biggest frauds. In a word, they
found that the combination called the re-
publican party had done its work and
had ceased to be what its founders hoped
it would be.
When his term expired Colonel Nc
Cutcheon did not, like many other Office
holders, leave the territory with his
earnings. He remained in Helena when
that was a dismal place compared with
what it is today when the Broadwater
natatorium renders life worth living.
Col. McCutcheon took an active part
in politics and became chairman OF the
republican territorial committee. He
saw Sanders repeatedly carry off the
nomination for delegate and run the
party into the ditch, but he did not MUIR
muir. 1t is remembered that Sanders
last nomination (and d~efeat) were even
conceived by him.
Such forbearance and such labors in
the political vineyard should be appre-
ciated. We believe that Colonel Nc,
Cutcheon is entitled to q call from the
republican party Of Montana. His stall
wart figure and powerful voice as we'll as
his loyalty are all needed at this time
when the party is on the down grade and
is burdened with the senatorial fraud.
We believe that Col. McCutcheon ap-
proves and defends that fraud. He is
qualified to represent the re
publican side in the coming campaign
when the senatorial fraud and control of
the state senate will be the issues on
which the battle is to be fought out.

WILLIAM aR1MMErr ACQUITTED.
The Trial Takes the Whole Day-Ap-
plause at the Verdict.

The Trial Takes the Whole Day-Ap.
plause at the Verdict.
The trial Of William Grimmett, sur.
named "the Kid" probably because he is
by no means a boy, occupied the court all
day yesterday. A jury was readily oh.
tanned. Messrs. Martin and McCutcheon
representing the stock association) open
ed TIE attack and Mr.. Baum conducted
the defense.
Major Field testified that the horse was
his W and stated that he gave the de-
PENDANT a bill of sale for one horse but
not this. He admitted that he had u deal
with Grimmett relative to the horse
that he carried off but he CON
sidered the ''trade" as of. He
admitted also that he owed Grimmett
wages at the time he went away.
The major was cross-examined by Mr..
Baum, but his testimony, which was Civ
en- clearly and intelllgently, remained
mistaken.
Sheriff Hamilton testified that he ar
rested Grimmett at Assinniboine and
found the horse with him. The sheriff
gave his testimony clearly and without
apparent bias.
William Grimmett, who is a tall.
Ian young man, testified in
his W behalf. He asserted
that he bought the horse from Major
Field. The major owed him money for
wages and had told him that he might
have the horse If he preferred, in place
of cash. Nothing more was done at the
time, but after 4 while he concluded TO
take the horse. lie said that he took the
horse in open day aud brought it to
Smelter. Afterward he came to town
with the horse. Grimmett was cross
examined closely, but he held persistent
ly to his story.
Witnesses testified as to his good
character and the defense closed,
The legal encounter between Col. Nc
Cutcheon and Mr.. Baum entertained the
audience and impaired additional inter
est to the case. The colonel seemed con-
tident that the jury would convict. Mr.,
Baum declared that he felt a personal in
terest in the case, being convinced that
WA innocent.
Judge Benton charged the jury briefly

GEORGE STEELL APPOINTED.

The appointment of George STEEL as
Indian agent ut the .Blackfuot agency
will give general satisfaction to our en-
tire people, regardless of party lines.
Mr.. stesll is we'll qualified to conduct the
agency with ability and success. He has
had an active and honorable career. He
is of Scotch descent and inherits the
pluck and energy of that noble people.
His father belonged to the Scotch Grays
and fought under Wellington at Water
loo. He settled in Lower Canada where
in 1887 his son George was born. George
acquired by his own earnings a good
general education and then accepted u
clerkship lat Rouse's Point. New York.
He left there for Boston whence he went
to st. Louis.
Having thus learned by practical ex-
perience the best business methods of the
Yankees and of the then far west, he
came to Fort Benton in the spring of
1857, and entered the employ of the
American Fur company and continued
with them until 1854, when he built the
first house erected at Fort Benton, aside
from those built by the Fur company.
He and Mat Carroll engaged in business
and in company with E. G. Maclay and
Col. Broadwater became owners of the
Diamond X. freight outfit which did
large business. In 1878, he sold out his
interest IN the freight business and went
to Salt Lake City where he remained two
years.
Mr.. Steell's love for Montana was
strong and he returned here in 1875. He
established a store at Sun River and had
also a branch house at Ulldia, Meagher
county. He also engaged largely IN cat
tie and horses. Mr.. Steel also became
an extensive land owner in Choteau and
Meagher counties, has property, includ-
ing one of the best farms in the Sun
river country. He organized Choteau
county and was subsequently, county COM
missioner there and in Lewis and Clarke
county. In 1876, and again in 1878, he
was elected to the Montana Legislature.
In 1887 Mr.. Steel was the choice of 4.
Il. Collins, Paris Gibson and other prom
iIent citizens for sheriff of Cascade
county. His name was actually placed
In the bill which divided the offices
among democrats and republicans, but
Mr.. STEEL did not care FOR the position
and it was given to Mr.. Downing. Of
late Mr.. STEEL has resided here being en-
gagged with Mr.. Wetzel in the real estate
business. He has an estimable wife and
interesting children.
1t is sad to add that Mr.. Steel is a re-
publican and has been one of the main
stays of the party in Montana. But as
Horace Greeley, General Palmer, Senator
Trumbull and others broke loose from
the party may we not hope that George
STEEL will yet join the democracy that
gave Montana statehood and is associated
with the brightest days in its history.

SWALLOWS AS MESSENGERS.

A Proposition to Substitute Them For Car
rier Pigeons.
For some time past great deal has been
said about the wonderful progress made in
continental countries with carrier pigeons,
and of the large Numbers that are ready
for immediate service in case war should
break out. Military men acknowledge that
they will form a very important adjunct to
the signal corps and have encouraged their
breeding. There is rival to the pigeon
looming up in the shape of the swallow, and
application has recently been made to the
French minister of war to substitute them
for pigeons.
The Ideals not now started for the first
time, although it is a more excellent one.
Pliny relates that Roman noble named
C9cina. who had racing stable, employed
swallows to take to Rome the news of the
result of the chariot races. In those times
things were conducted in more or less style.
Four horses from the same stable were har-
messed to q car, and the swallows returned
to these nests bearing the colors of the win
ners. Pliny also tells of garrison that
was cut off by enemies from all communica-
ton with the outer world, and whose hopes
were only kept up by the arrival of a swal-
low from friendly allies. A thread was fas-
tened to the leg of swallow and number
of knots were tied in it. These indicated
the days that would elapse before the arri-
| val of succor. SO thar when the day arrived
! the garrison sailed out and the besiegers,
being unable to stand the combined attack.
| were forced to withdraw.
It has been satisfactorily proved that the
| training of the birds requires only few
I weeks. A farmer trained a lot Of the swal-
| lows in three weeks SO that they were per
fectly tractable. At public exhibition,
recently given, he had a different colored
! ribbon tied to one of the feet of each of the
birds, and then opened the door of the cage.
Away few the birds to the four Winds and
| the spectators thought that they had seen
the last of them, but after while first one
and then another returned with the same
rapidity with which they had departed and
perched on the finger of the tanner, who
returned them to their cage.
The swallow is, as messenger, considered
| by those who have had ample opportunity
for comparison. superior to the pigeon.
| His flight il higher, more rapid, and he il
moro faithful, more intelligent, and easier
| to take care OF. In long flights he does not
have to stop so often for rest, and his food
| 10 taken as be flies.
