yEToEs THE BOUNTY RILL.

The action of Gov. Richards in We
toing the bounty bill met with con-
siderable surprise and no little indig-
nation in this locality. Elsewhere will
be found the reasons given by the
governor for killing the measure. He
reasons with such candor and fairness
that his views are entitled to consider
alton. He shows that the present
$4,000 in two years, and is of the
opinion that the increased bounty
would offer a premium for dishonesty
and encourage fraud. While We see
no good grounds for such a conclusion,
as with a liberal bounty men could
make good wages by legitimate work,
still there is great danger of bankrupt.
ing the state treasury. This is rem.
dered more liable owing to the extrav.
igance of the legislature in favorine
every Job brought forward. New coun-
ties have been formed, state institu'
tions created and parceld out with
lavish hand. The governor saw the
financial meshes into which the state
is almost sure to fall, and felt it his
duty to check, if possible, a monetary
crisis.
1t is unfortunate, however, that
| this matter was not fully discussed
before the close of the session, so that
q compromise bill could have been
substituted. In many if not all Of
the stock counties, we believe there
would have been found a willingness
to submit to a special tax on stock
in order to increase the bounty. The
bill offered passed both houses by a
large majority, only eight votes being
recorded against it in the senate. This
naturally led members to believe that
the governor would give the bill his
approval. No attempt was made to
pass the bill over the governors veto
The present bounty law is just suffi'
cient to keep down the increase in
wolves and coyotes, if that, and to
afford a few men a chance to make
a stake during the winter. While i,
operates as a constant drain on the
treasury it does not materially lesser
the damage to the stock industry.

HIS OBLIGATION TO CLARK.

NIL O6L1tAI1ON ~ CLAnh-
As will be seer elsewhere Represent.
ative Coder returned TO Helena OF
Wednesday of last week, and on Thurs.
day, the last day of the session, along
with five other Republicans, cas- q
fruitless vote for w. A. Clark. Mr..
Cooler sent us Il dispatch during the
day containing the above information,
with the request that We refrain from
comment until he explains. II Mr..
Coder can give a good reason for his
vote he should have done so at Helena
and checked the maledictions which
have been heaped upon him by the Re-
publican press of the state. He is
under nearly as much obligation to
the party throughout the state as he is
to those who elected him to the legis-
lature in this county. If he cannot ex-
plain there he can't here. While the
ARGUS will give him space any time TO
explain, we are firmly convinced it
would be a useless effort.
Last week we entertained the hope
hat Mr.. Color, upon his return to
Helena, would, in a measure, clear
himself of the suspicion that rested on
him, and vote for the Republican eau
| Gus nominee. We had reason to think
| this possible from the tone of the letter
he had dictated" Every move Mr..
| Coder has made since he cast his first
| vote for Clark has been Inconsistent
and Facilitating, evidencing some great
guilt or an unbalanced mind. We
have two letters from Mr.. Coder. One
was written in Helena after the Sand
| ers episode, in which he attempts to
explain his vote for Clark, and which
was no explanation at all. He seemed
to have taken up Clark's cause as zeal
ously as any of his trusted "wire-
pullers" and deplored the conduct of
Daily and his faction. This, Of course.
was none of Mr.. Coolers business. He
| should have delighted in such a dead
lock of the millionaire gang. He says:
Il believe, as do most of the people,
| that the senate will be Democratic;
and, further, if this is the case, the
question is, would a Republican be
seated who was appointed by a Repub-
lican GOVERNOR" The Alpine states
man had as good a chance to k now as
any other Republican that the DAILY
faction would fight to the death, and
that there was no hope If an election
except through the aid ofPopulists and
purchaseable Republicans. AS to the
latter part of the above quotation, it is
strange that q man should desert his
party on such grounds. He virtually
was willing to aid a party after he
thought it would resort to the revo-
lutionary proceeding of depriving his
state of just representation in the sen-
ate. He should have left this point to
the able constitutional lawyer who
afterwards gave him q tongue-lashing.
Mr.. Coder evidently does moi know

SENT A

Upon reaching Billings while en- route
to Helena, Representative Coder sent
the following dispatch:
BILLINGS, Mont, March 1.-Hon. Thos.
Matthews. Speaker: Have clerk read fol.
lowing before joint assembly today. Found
my family much improved. Return today
to Helena. Thank God don't have to &C.
cept bride to perform a duty owed to my
family. L. l.. CoDER.
Inasmuch as there was no illness in
Mr.. Coolers family to call him home,
and as be was so advised before he left
Helena by a message from Lewistown,
the dispatch will make a good many OF
our readers smile.

for Montana that the state can get

LIBERTY's BELL.

There's legend told Of faroG land
The land Of a king-where the people planned
To build them bell that never should ring
But to tell Of the death or the birth, Of a king,
Or to proclaim an event. with its swinging slow
That could startle the nation to joy or woe
1t was not TO be builded-hs bell that they planned
or common ore dug from the breast Of the land
But Of metal first moulded by skin Of all srts-
Built Of the treasures Of fond human heart.
And from all DER the land like pilgrims they came,
Each to cast in a burden, mite in the flame
or the furnace-hs ofTering-to ninge and swell
In the curious mass Of this wonderful bell
Knights came in armor and flung in the shields
That had warded of blows on the Slracen fields.
Freemen brought chains from prisons afar-
Bonds that had fettered the captive, Of wal.
And sabers were cast in the molten flood
Stained with the crimson Of herocs' blood.
Pledges Of love, bracelet, ring,
gem that had CLEANED in the crown Of king,
The coins that had ran somed a maiden from death,
The words hot with eloquence caught from the b. cath
OF sage, and prayer from the lips Of slave
Were heard and reco ded and in the
To be melted and moulded together and tell
The tale Of their wrongs in The tones Of The bell.
1t was finished at lat, and, by artisan hand,
On its ponde-ous bea ms hung high over the land,
The slow ye. pass ed by; but no sound ever fell
On a listening ear from the tongue Of the bell
The brown spider wove her trail home its walls,
And the dust settled deep in lis cavernous halls.
Men laughed in derision, and ,offed at the pains
OF the builders; and harder and harder the chains
Ola tyrannous nigh on the people were laid;
Mo e nsatiate more servile, the tribute they paid
There was something they found far cruel than
death
And something far sweettr than lifes deeng breath
But, harkl in the midst of the turbulent throng,
The of the weak and the groans Of the strong
There's cry Of alarm Some invisible power
Is moving the long silent bell in the lower.
Forward and backward, and forward it swung,
And Liberty Liberty! LIBERTY rung
From its wide, brazen threat, mountain and vale,
Till the caught the echo, and monarchs turned
pale.
Our forefathers heard it-that wild thrilling tone,
Ringing out to the world, and they claimed it their
And up from the valley, and down from the hill,
From the fame of the forge, from he field and the
mill
They paid with their lives tn. price Of its due,
And left it a legacy, freemen to you;
And ever when danger is menacing nigh,
The mighty bell swings in the belfry on high,
And men wake from their dreams, and grasp in af-
fright,
Their swords, when its warning sweeps out in tho
night.
While Washngtons name is emblazoned in gold
While the vaor Of Putnam, or Campbell is told,
{. r;o Il.
The fiery drops from the pen Of Paine;
While dear is the name of chilli, mother wife,
Or sweet to a soul is the measure of life,
Americas sons will to battle prepare
When its tones Of alarm ring aloud on the air;
For Libertys goddess holds in her white hand
The cord Of the bell that swings land.

How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are mad'
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mende
new;
When men wear out, they're men dea
too.
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others nothing 10th.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine
And both peg out, Now would 20
choose
To be a man, or be his shoes.
