"If Indians in that State North

must as held by the court Of claims

the Nation. And further, that he
should enter the Nation prior to

THE VIRTUE OF A MAD STONE

Fully five weeks ago more than
an ordinary mad-dog scare "
was caused in this neighborhood
by the appearance of dog whose
actions lead, at least the credulous
to believe that it was affected with
rabies, or in short a genuine mad
dog. 1t passed by Bob Patton 5
place, looked with green and threat
ening eyes at the children playing
near The house, and deliberately
bit, in the nose, one of Patton 5
horses. The dog was Immediately
followed and killed.
Mr.. Patton had seen the adver-
tisement of a Mrs. Owen, of Sen
eca, Mo, who claims to be the
possessor of a mad stone. The
horse being a very valuable ami
NAL. he determined to try the vir-
tues Of this remedy, and the nexi
day after the occurrence he started
overland to Seneca, where Mrs.
/ Owen was found, bargain made
and the stone applied; its actions
were said, by the owner, to be sat

NO ALTERATIONS THIS YEAR.

We learn from the esteemed Ana
conda Standard that the city of Helena
"has managed in Its time by it's policy
of sordid selishness to ALLEVIATE nearly
every county in eastern Montana" This
would be interesting news if the Stand
ards statement amounted to more than
a false and meaningless generalization.
If it will cite instances where Helena
has al,enated any counties or commun-
tiles by any sort OF policy, attention
may be properly given to the charges.
The fact is that this talk of Helena's
selfishness has always been confined to
two or three newspapers IN jealous
towns. There are mighty few citizens
in Montana who give credence to it,
and these arc politicians who have some
times been turned down by the Lewis
and Clarke influence in political gath
erings.
Helena is and always has been one OF
the most popular towns in Montana, anc
why should she not be? Here are the
pest hotels in the northwest, here are
the most convenient railway facilities
and here are people as hospitable us are
to be found anywhere.
Oh, no, this policy of winning out the
capital by attacking Helena doesn't &C
with the people of Montana. 1t may
do in certain newspaper Offices, but il
makes no votes.

per cent in 1888. There ara more than
10000 Afro American v tsrs in that
close state, m important element on
election day, indeed. Even in Montana
the shift has been large enough to au-
tract the special attention and anxiety
OF republican managers.
What arc the reasons assigned for
this stampede? The tariff and the
force bill, The colored voter finds that
no employment is offered to him in these
protected establishments of republican
millionaires. They want his vote, but
when this is secured they make up the
loss by making him pay tribute ON high
priced goods. The result is that the
great mass of colored voters are con-
sumers, and cannot even be said to have
the delusive protection of high wages.
The force bill is bringing many con-
verts to the cause Of MIR. Cleveland and
his party. The colored voter sees that
measure not only has no regard for his
republicans in power by the corrupt and
unamerican employment Of federal
forces.
Then, again, the colored voters find
they have been sadly overlooked by
the party for which they have fought
and received nothing but unrsdeemed
pledges. 1t looks as il they had de-
cided to make a change all along the
linn

QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS.
The Election Laws Boiled Down Int
Plain Language.

The Election Laws Boiled Down Into
Plain Language.
Make no mistake. Let all registry agents
and voters remember that under the con-
stitution of Montana, which must govern,
every person must nave resided within the
state of Montana for one year before Nov.
8, 1892, in order to entitle him to vote. He
must also nave lived thirty days in the
county in which he offers to vote. The laws
which formerly requi,ed six months resi-
dence in Montana were all modified by the
constitution, which absolutely governs. and
which makes the qualification one whole
year.
Second. There is no possible way fol
any person to vote on election day unless
he has been registered before ten O'Clock OF
the night of Oct. Ii.
I'll ird. Thee is 40 such thing as "swear-
ing in in Il vote an election day. Unless
the voter is registered by Oct. Is he cannot
vote on any proposition whatsoever to pe
submitted to the people.
All persons, if any there are. who have
registered and who have only lived in Mon.
tana six months before Nov. g.. 1892. are dis
qualified, ana when the registry agent pub
fishes the list of qualified voters the names
of all such persons. if any, should be notec

THE CAPITAL FIGHT.

The further effect Of this centrally and
the ready methods of communication has
been that Helena holds more or less inter
ests in all sections of the state. and all acc
tions of the state are therefore to a large
extent interested in Helena. All this while
Helena has been growing in wealth, influ-
snce, and all substantial regards. Every
piece of good luck which came to any por-
! ton of the state benefited Helena because of
being tributary to it. Even the great west
side mining camp which has grown to such
proportions has been all the while to a large
extent tributary to Helena. Helena men and
money have had a great deal to do with the
advancement Of Butte and the development
of her wonderful resou ces. In fact, this
is true also of every one of these capital
candidates. They all owe more or less of their
prosperity to Helena. Some of them claim
to be growing faster Than Helena, but we
have noticed that with the increased growth
of any Montana city Helena has kept step.
Their prosperity has always helped that of
Helena and the reason for it ia that Hele ma
men and money are interested in them all.

Anaconda is now in the capital fight with
all her strength and is admitted to be the
only real competitor of Helena. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that one of these two
places will secure q majority Of the votes
cast this fall. The only question which
presents itself to the people of the state at
this time as applicable to the situation ia
whether they shall help Helena or Ana
conda.-Red Lodge Picket.
The capital fight now really lies between
Helena and Anaconda. Anaconda claims
to be the most formidable rival that Helena
has in the contest, and that claim is based
Upon fact. The whole question now at
issue is whether the capital shall remain at
Helena or be removed to Anaconda. ANY
doubtful ones in this section of the country
who have felt at all inclined through local
pride to cast their votes in favor of Boze-
man should understand plainly that by 30
doing thoy are to all intents and purposes
voting to remove the capital to Anaconda.

tana are in favor Of doing this?-Billings

IT is evident from all reports that the
republicans in the east are badly ratified.
MIR. Carter, seeing the effect of the peo-
pies party movement and the desertion
from his party ranks on the issue Of the
tariff reform, has decided to carry the
election anyhow. So he has imported
into New York a number of famous cleo
tion thugs, who are supposed to make
enough money in one presidential cleo
ton to carry them along during the next
four years. We don't know how it will
be out here in Montana, but Mr.. Carter
ought to know that the people of this
