OF the committee his remurka as printed

sure that Mr.. shuart viii agree that his
remarks should not fill more than half
the book. The majority Of those IN at
tendance have been kind enough to say
many complimentary things about the
typographical excellence Of the pam
phlet, and some 60 far enough to add
that it is the best printed and hand
soonest work Of the kind ever published
in the state. 1t certainly could not
have been more accurately or carefully
compiled.

when the business jealousies of . rival
concern are exhibited 50 frequently on
it's editorial page, it is but fair that mis-
statements SO glazing as appeared yes

Looking for Contrabnnd Tobacco.

CHICAGO, April 2o.-The government off,
oials this morning resumed the search for
contraband tobacco sent here and to other
cities by the San Francisco ringsters who
have been defrauding the customs house.
The treasury agents received dispatches
from San Francisco and New York this
morning and on the information contained
therein an inspector was sent hurriedly to q
oity i'll Ohio, where 1t Is believed 100 bales
of tobacco were sent for disposal. Meyer 4
Son, G. Heller and =. Kullenbach. who had
denlings with the San Francisco men and
were victimizod by them, have given Col
lsctor Clarke some valuable information
and it is believed that before many day
moro tobacco will be located in Chicago
and seized.

FOX FREE SILVER !!

A meeting will be held this evening to
organize a free silver club. In another
column will be found the call signed by
sixteen Of tho leading citizens OF Helena,
There will be no politics in the move
ment, and men OF all shades Of political
opinion have joined actively together in
the work.
This is the right way to go at it. The
fate Of the Bland bill, for which the out
look was at one time encouraging,
taught friends Of the metal that Tree
coinage was to be won by hard work,
organization and campaign methods.
The people Of Colorado recognized this
some time ago, and organized a
grand free silver league, comprising
clubs in every corner of the state. A
similar movement commenced in Mon
tana will result in a like compact organ
ization. Then, we look to see during
the coming year, a big Interstate con-
vention Of free coinage clubs. Tracts
and missionaries will be sent to teach
and preach the doctrine Of free silver ali
owe the country, and when the next
congress meets, it will find a sentiment
not to be trif1ed or dallied with.
Montana is at last taking up the sub
ject by employing ~business-like meth
DDS, and a campaign inaugurated in
this way is sure to produce good re-
suits.

REJoINDER 10 A WHINE.

While The INDEPENDENT does not
care to regale the public with it's bust
ness affairs, it seems necessary in this
instance to reply to a false and SANDER
criticism in yesterdays edition of
the daily Russell Harrison. The facts
are easily ascertained and easily under
stood. 10 begin with, THE I~NDEPEN-
DENT was the only paper in Helena
that furnished & stenogrnpher at all
meetings Of the State Irrigating Con-
v@ention and the only paper that gave an
exhaustive and detailed report OF the
proceedings. The publication commit
tee, consisting Of Hon. 4. d. Weed, w.
G. Child and Barnard Brown. of this
city. unanimously chose The %INDKpEN-
DENT to print the official report of the
| proceedings OF the convention and they
did so for two reasons. First, because
the facilities Of this office for printing
in all departments are known to be gu
perior to all others. This fact is also
recognized by the officials of Lewis and
Clarke county and the state of Mon
tana, for whom THE INDEPENDENT fur
nishes all work in the line OF printing
Another reason for the committees SO
lection is that The INDEPENDENT alont
had the correct report of all proceed

MONTANA'S NEW LAUREATE.

"Odds life! Must one swear to the
truth OF a song?" writes the poet Prior.
But what a sad amount of prevarication
would follow if the truth Of every song
were sworn to.
For illustration, all the liars il this
and other countries seem to find oppor-
tunity for their talents in settling the
origin of that dirty known "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay." While this air is being
hummed in every corner Of the earth,
from Main street IN Helena to the
variety theaters in Timbuctoo, all must
cal authors Of all degrees Of repute
claim it's originality. Some say it was
one OF the earlier compositions Of
Gounod; others allege that it was writ
ten BY the author Of "We Left Ireland
and Mother Because We Were Poor"
and still others claim that it is but the
corruption Of music incident to an an
Gent Sioux ghost. dance. 1t is in no
spirit Of local adulation that the citizens
Of Helena hold that tho song originated
in this city, and it certainly can be
shown beyond doubt that it has been
sung here at least a year and a half. 1t
is, however, not proposed to tear down
the idols Of others, and Helena's part in
the glory will have nothing more than
mere reference. 1t remains for that
poet of divinity and song writer for the
angels attached to the Bozeman Chroni-
Gle, to arrange the real inspiration to
which the air is honestly entitled. The
creatures of his resourceful brain, after
wandering in the vagaries of a beautiful
dream, assemble at q favored spot, and
at a signal like the firing Of a gun at the
opening of a new reservation, proclaim
the following verses alleged to be ol

sursh trimmed with three narrow
ruffies OF yellow chiffon, writes Isabel

Home Journal. The bodice of the
dress is round, and over it will be q

chiffon. while on the head will be .
large hat of Leghorn trimmed with
yellow chiffon and white roses. The
shoes are of soft yellow kid, the
stockings of yellow silk and the long
gloves OF yellow undressed kid. This
Is to typify that 1t Is really an Easter
wedding, because the jonquils, ana
daffodils, though stately ladies' oil

spring days are at hand.
