THE worst enemies of protection are
the extreme protectionists. For instance
the duty on tin plates is now one cent pei
pound. With weight and other expenses
added the protection must be, say at Chi
cago, equal to about 1913 per ton. In the
Mckinley bill the duty is made % cents
per pound. If we cannot make tin plate
from Black Hills tin with u protection
of 1928 per ton we had better abandon the
industry and not burden the makers of
canned goods who are large consumers OF
farm products, . . ...

day at an election for governor in the

wall was the largest voting place and was
the center of interest in the election. Both
candidates for governor, Samuel Paul and
VIM. Byrd, were at the polls all day
Each had a large number of men at his
back. Paul's supporters were dlsfran-
chised by the whites, while the full
bloods and most of the half-breeds
were for Byrd. The latter also had
hundred and fourteen militia under his
pay. Everybody was heavily armed and
when the polls opened matters looked
serious. Governor Byrd brought militia
Labout the polls, forming a circle about it
The first squaw man was denied the
privilege of voting and retired. The
whites gathered their force and for
time it looked as if they meant battle
but Byrd with his men stood firm, anc

COLONEL MCCUTCHEoN has stayed over
to admire the growth Of Great Falls and
respire the pure air of this favored reg

vices are better appreciated here by the

others who have been "meDtioned' are
recruits compared with the Michigan
veteran of whose ability and party 10y
atty they are Jealous. We are determin-
ed that Colonel McCutcheon shall not be
ignored by the Butte coterie who put
forward Seligman, we'll knowing that a
man so closely associated with Helena
would be thrashed out of his boots when
people would come to consider that the
capital has already two so-called senators
and our worthy governor J. X. Toole.
Col. McCutcheon comes from Helena,
but he is not a Helena man in the gener-
al sense of the term. He is a broad
gauge citizen, who is entitled at least to
the barren honor of leading his party to
certain defeat this fall.

THE OLD GAMBLING CASES.

Judge Burke's Decisions Affirmed by
the Supreme Court.
On the night OF January IL. 1889. Sheriff
William Cochrane made raid upon the
gambling house of the city and arrested
about thirty proprietors of houses ami
dealers OF games, and also confiscated the
gambling tools. apparatus and imp ernents.
rne gamblers were bound over by Justice
N. eoderberg. indicted by the grand jury,
and sentenced by Chief Justice Tho mas
Burke to pay fines OF $500 each and costs
amounting to so. and to stand COM
mitted to the county Jail until
fines and costs were paid. The gam
b ing implements were ordered
by the court to be publicly burned and
Sheriff Cochrane piled up $40 90 worth of
paraphernalia on the vacant lot adjoining
the courthouse and carried out the order
OF the court by touching the match TO
them. The gamblers flied two appeals
from the decisions of the court, the first
being on the fines imposed and the other
being on the order to burn the apparatus.
The supreme court has Just passed upon
both appeals, affirming the decisions of
Judge Burke in each. The case wherein
James II. Foster was defendant was used
as test In the matter of convection. APP
peiiant sought TO reverse the judgment of
the court for the following reasons:

The court holds that the language of the
statute is sufficiently explicit 10 enable the
court. with reasonable certainty, to dis
cover wha the legislature intended, and
The statute cannot therefore be held void
for ambiguity or uncertainty and saws:
Counsel claims THAI the statute does not ex.

clearly enough that the act of dealing faro or

THE CITY COUNCIL.
The City's Floating Indebted
ness to Be Funded.
A HEAVY NIGHTS BUSINESS.
Question Raised as TO tho Validity OF
the Salary Ordinances-Roiiin
Street Extension.

The business of the city council seems to
increase instead of diminish. Three hours
work last night seemed TO make no appre-
ciabIe difference to the mass OF ordinances
ami petitions TO be acted upon. Among
the most important Is one extending the
ciy's limits, for which an election is pro-
posed to be ordered some time in January.
1t was very pointedly mentioned IN
the board OF aldermen that Mr.. Ship
ley, chairman OF the house judiciary COM
mittee, was unnecessarily OBTAINING the
boards bill sboishing the Office OF inspec.
tor OF buildings. and that he was attorney
for Mr.. C. Z. Adams. the incumbent OF the
Office.
The salary bill was signed by both presi-
dents and it will now go to the mayor.
There were two bills, and Alderman Will
cox raises the point that the one amended
by the house was not the one adopted by
the board. The clerk was instructed to
prepare history OF the bill for the infor-
nation of the mayor. No appropriation
bill can be passed until that point is de-
cided.
The board will meet on Thursday and
the house on Friday night.
