Quoting the STANDARDS dispatch from
Butte declaring that the Silver Bow county
board intended to return the imported
Murphy family to Madison county, (which
intention was subsequently re~considered
at the request of ~philanthropic persons
who thought the family might procure
work and be self supporting In Butte) the
Madisoaiam says: I'VE know Of no law
by which paupers can he deprived of the
privilege of changing their residence at
any time they may see TIT to do SO, and MS
the removal of the family above referred
to from Madison to Silver Bow county
was entirely voluntary on their part, and
according to their expressed wishes, we
cannot see where thec cause for the vigor-
Gus kick which the Silver Bow authori-
ties are making comes in. At any rate,

exceptions, as il has been the practice OF
the courts and police OF that city for years

railroad Were In the city this week, says
the Virginia City MadisOnian. They were
out on a tour of inspection of the proposed
route for a railroad into or through Madi-
son county. After rs careful examination
of the route from Whitehall up this far as
it was possible for them to make at this
season of the year, they expressed them
selves as being very favorably' impressed
with its feasibility and the development
and possibilities of the country through
which il would rum. While they did not
signify what the exact character of their
report would he. they left the impression
that il would be favorable for the building
of the road the coming summer. The
prospect for a railroad into the county
never has ook SO encouraging as mt the
present time, and our people can now 60

soon be relieved from the isolation that
has so long stood as a barrier against
