which might thence arise, that Ireland
should have something to say about British

l do not think il in the wit Of man to de-

Mr.. Gladstone then went on to discuss
tho subject of Irish presentation in tho
imperial parliament. tho adjustment of
debts, the sources of revenue and the pro-
portion of imperial burdens that, AZ pro-
vided in the bill, should be borne by I've

Foremost THE COUNTY,

The Other Side of the blaine County
Controversy.
To The Independent.
In your issue Of the nth inst. appears a
communication regarding the proposed
county OF Blaine, signed by '"Taxpayer,"
who IL also apparently an office seeker.
Passing over his misrepresentation re-
Rarding the county seat of Chotesu
county. which have no bearing whatever
upon the question, We would challenge the
accuracy OF his reasons for fayoring the
creation OF the proposed county. The first
statement advanced is that it has twice the
population OF Teton county. This asser-
tlon 10 either a wilfull MISREPRESENTATION or
due to gross ignorance OF tho facts. AT
the last general election the precincts en-
braced within the limits of Teton county
gave u total Of 536 votes on governor, while
the preclncta included in the proposed
Blaine county gave $40 votes for the same
candidate. The second proposition ia that
1T wants home rule. This la a laudable
ambition when the time is ripe for assum-
ing such responsibility, but the possession
OF only one million dollars worth of as
sessaole property will not sustain home
ruls on the most economical scale unless
the citizens of the new county
are prepared TO subject themselves
so a burdensome tax levy. By the
way i eASptCttu fBat tho NJ referred
to in this second proposition simply desia-
mates the combine of office seekers in the
new county. The esset ton that Havre has
not one objection TO the formation of the
new county is also at variance with the
truth. \ protest against tho proposition
has been numerous!y signed By the leading
citizens Of that thriving burg. and MT q
recent meeting Of it's citizens a committee
was selected to work against the scheme.
"Ia1paYer' seems somewhat vexed in
spirit because many of the Choteau county
officials rsslds at the county seat. 1t does
not appear to have occurred to him tina,
their election was due TO the votes Of the
people, and that their place of residence is
governed mainly by the nature of the duties
TO be performed. The formation of rev
equities should be based upon population
and assesseble wealth rather than area, anc
if gsuged by these requirements the claims
OF the promoters of Blaine county will b,
found fsr from satisfactory. Propert,
owners IN both the old and the PROPOSED
new county would be subjected to new
burdens without any correspondinp benefit
and this fact outweighs all othets in tn,
estimation of a tai paysr who il
NOT AN OFFICE SEEKER.
