A Voters Grievance.

YALE, Mont., Oct. IL, 1890.
EDIroR ARGUS: Please grant us just "a
little space in your columns. We under
stand that some Of our Democratic friends
are elated because we protested against
that action Of the county commissioners
which compells the voters along the south
side Of the Snowies to register at TIBET.
We certainly DO claim that this action is
"A political outrage, virtually cutting off "a
number Of votes. Since there is no registry
office from TIBET to Barrott, nor south of
the Snowies except at Tennessee Flat, what
reason can the commissioners give for such
neglect OF the rights Of so many voters, so
many taxpayers? Economy? Yes, un-
doubtedly. Yet they allowed 81 800 of
our money for grading Claggett hill, when
our money had already paid for strip of
country including hill, grade and all.
But we can remember these commission
ers some other time. We do not propose
to be deprived Of our privilege Of register
ing, even il il is a hardship to travel SO far
TO do it. We shall not lose our votes nor
change our politics. oh, no. The Republi.
can party can point to too many noble
achievements, and this administ ra tiSn can
now point to silver bill and IA tariff bill
that meets the approval Of the masses Of
the people. We would like to ask our
Democratic friends. what is the matter
with the speech Of the "old Republican war
horse" ON the silver bill' What was the
matter with the voice and vote Of Thomas
II. Carter and our Montana Republican
senators on that bill, on the tariff bill,
which offered protection to our woolgrow-
er.' There is not n miner nor wool
grower within our borders who does not
rejoice at the success of these Republican
doctrines. We have not forgotten that II

DANGER IN THE WIRES.

There was an incident at Wilmington,
Delaware, last week, which should furnish
matter for the consideration of this city's
council. A citizen of the place named was
walking along the street when he tripped
over fallen electric light wire. He caught
at the wire and was so badly burned that
he will lose his thumb and forefinger, but
congratulates himself that he escaped with
his life These little incidents occur SO
often that pedestrians in cities where over
head wires are permitted are never free
from nervousness and fear lest death
charged wire shall descend upon them. So
generous has this city been with franchises
and so inconsiderate of the public rights
and safety are the street railway and cleo
trio light companies, that it is impossible
for one to visit the central part of the town
without running under the network of
death, which is so weakly strung that every
few days portions of the net fall Unless
there shall be instituted Improvement and
reform by the several companies which
have taken possession of the streets.
the public will rise in its majesty
one OF these days and require that every
wire be laid under ground. Up to this time
the injuries from the electric wires in this
city have been confined to property, and
we hope this good luck will continue; but
the official whose duty 1t is TO look after
such matters should see to it that the wires
are more securely hung.

Mr.. ROWLAND CoNNoR, of Saginaw,
Michigan, is candidate for the legislature,
but we take it that the gentleman will fail
of election. He will certainly fail if the
press of his district is reasonably influen-
tial with the voters. THE HERALD has re-
ceived, and we assume that the newspapers
and voters of the Saginaw district have
also received, a postal card bearing this in
teresting legend:
We would call the attention of the editors OF
the state of Michigan to the fact that ROWLAND
Common, of Saginaw, has been nominated for
the legislature. This is the gentleman that
stated at the banquet given the Michigan State
Press association at their twenty-third annual
meeting held at Saginaw in July last that
There was not an editor in Michigan or else
where that was not for sale, and that they could
be bought for $500 piece 1t is the obvious
duty of every editor in Michigan, regardless OF
politics, religion, sex or color to do their whole
duty in electing Mr.. ROWLAND CoNNoR-to STAY
at home. Any man who would thus deliber-
ately insult the editors of Michigan while he
and they we're the guests of the city of Saginaw,
Is not a lit person TO have seat in the leglsla-
ture OF tie great state of Michigan.
OF course Mr.. CoNNoR's "goose is
cooked" so to speak, but it would have
been more satisfactory if the parties who
are circulating the above card as campaign
matter had been more explicit, and said
whether they objected most to the allega-
ton that Michigan editors were for sale. or
to the price put upon them by Mr.. Con

son for withdrawing the action being the
inability to get justice from an Indiana
jury. Everybody in the state, no matter

this the HOLSTERS have had no use for Mr.
BLAINE and mighty little respect for him.
1t was offensive to them when he was

This little bit OF history will account for
the failure to appear of the 'sgrand recep-

explain why the brainie st man and greatest
statesman in the Republican party was
shown no attention in one of the largest
cities in Indiana, although his coming had
been announced twenty four honrs in ad-

credit by keeping out of sight, but they
displayed good deal of human nature.
