April last, We are perhaps wrong in
saying that il was discussed: discussion
implies argument and holding of oppo-
site views. and while there may Toe those
in Forsyth who are not in favor Of coun
ty division. we have not heard of anyone
bold enough to raise his voice IN opposi-
tion to the dukes plan. 1t is reported
to US that at the April school meeting
Mr.. Alexander had good deal to say on
the subject of county division and gave
it as his opinion that owing to the poit
icai condition Of the county il would be
impossible to elect a democrat to the
legislature and that Forsyth had better
combine on a republican who would be
all right for county division, aud he then
and there pleged himself for all the ma
terial aid that would be required both
in the election and in the subsequent
conduct Of the campaign in the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Alexander does not deny this
nor will he deny that he was thoroughly
engrossed in the success of the county
division scheme long before he had the
pleasure Of communicating his ideas to

WHOLLY AN ACCIDENT.

The Forsyth Times in its last issue
says:
The people of Forsyth did not intend
to work up this question OF county divis-
ION after election but the YELLOWSTONE
JOURNAL made it an issue of the cam,
paign. which was a campaign lie. by the
way, and the people thought they might
as well cut loose from the notorious
gang at Miles City. A gang that has
been robbing the county for years and
will probably make fight to continue
its reign.
To begin with we wish to say that
scribbler Allen is not competent ito
speak for "the people Of Forsyth" as he
drifted in there only few weeks before
election and has not been in condition
to study ancient history SINCE his arriv-
al there. He writes for publication in
the Times just what he is told to write.
and he uses the best English he can
find handy. That is all that need be
said Of Jo Aliens lubrications. But the
idea that is sought to be conveyed by
the article quoted. to-wit: That the
elaborate campaign for county division
that is now under way is all an after
thought, suggested by the criticisms OF
this paper. is too thin entirely. Nearly
everybody in Forsyth and great many
people IN Miles City know that the di-
vision scheme was openly discussed at
the school election held at Forsyth in

We are willing to submit these figures
to a most searching criticism and believe
that every fair minded taxpayer whether
in favor of the new county or opposed
will admit that there is no attempt at
exaggeration. In figuring on the gener-
al expenses. we have not included the
item Of s7.S00.0O per year for sinking
fund to retire the SIS 10000 bonds, at
maturity, because the Times intimates
that the new county does not propose 10
pay this bond item, but It is proper
yearly charge and If included would in
crease the levy 3 mills per year. The
item Of salaries in this group of general
expenses may if not explained excite
suspicion, so we will state that with one
exception 1t is iust~hat the law allows
to be paid to the officials Of a third class
county and is made up as follows:

MORE fiGU RES.

The Forsyth Times asks for sore
more figures on the question OF county
division aud as the matter has not been
thoroughly discussed in this direction,
We feel disposed to gratlfy the Times.
by submitting to the taxpayers in the
locality proposed to be embraced in the
new county condensed statement of
what ii is going to cost them In the way
OF taxes 10 case the Forsyth idea pre-
walls. In this connection it is proper to
say that the estimate of expenses for the
new county published in this paper be.
fore the election, and which the Forsyth
Times has reprinted, was prepared hur-
riedly and can be improved upon. Since
the Forsyth conspirators have shown their
hand. the JOURNAL has looked up the
matter a little and FIN Is the status to be
something like this.
The gross assessm ent Of Custer county
Tor this year is s6,s s5.3i9 OF which, the
territory proposed 0 be cut off contains
s2.5lO347 or .365 the whole amount.
The bonded sbt OF this county is
s274lOO and of t s sum the new county
would have to assume $50 per cent or
100000 in rou d figures. With these
figures in mind et US see how the new
county will sta off as to debt.

To raise this sum on the assessed val

be made. But the above is not all of Il e
expenses and legitimate charges to be
made against the taxpayers Of the new
county. 1t does not include the state
tax, nor any provision for care Of the
poor, or for roads and bridges. ii these
charges are legitimate and necessary and
and some of them-state and school
compulsory. Now to resume the figures

DYNAMITE UNDER A HIGHWAY.
Startling Discovery Made by
French Police Near Paris.
Arrest OF Several Suspects at Aubcr-
villiers Follows.
nv Aksnclateh rress.l

PARIS, April l3.-The police made a
startling discovery to-day at Aubervll-
licrs, II village live miles north Of this
city, noted for its sugar roiincries and
factories. For some time past the au-
thorities have been aware that the An
arChists driven out Of Paris have sought
refuge in suburbs and villages near the
capital. such as Aubcrvillicrs. where the
large majority Of the population Is com
posed Of w"orkingmen and others holding
advanced political ideas.
Gradually the authorities closed around
"A number OF suspected Anarchists who
wer employed in the sugar refneries at
Aubervilliers and were believed to be en-
gaged in an extensive conspiracy to at
tempt the destruction of public buildings
by the use of explosives.
The detectives, 1t Is announced to-day,
discovered, hidden in "A waterway under
the road leading from Aubervilliers to
Courneuve, twelve tin boxes filed with
the most dangerous kinds of explosives,
"A case containing twelve pounds of
poudre vcrte, twenty pounds of dynamite
cartridges, II quantity Of scrap steel and
hob nails and a reversible bomb ready
for use.
The police determined to arrest a num-
Der of the suspected workmen. but the
news of the discovery of thes tore of
explosives spread so rapidly that several
of the suspected men succeeded In escap-
ing from Aubervillicrs and are believed
to have sought refuge in this city, pre-
partorya to escaping from France. The
police. however, will make a number of
arrests In this city, and at A~ubervilliers
hav" already taken into custody several
suspects. 1t is believed that n very dan
gcrous conspiracy has been nipped in the
bud.

WHO WAS TO BLAME ?

The Assembly Chamber at Albany was
yesterday made the scene of another OF
those b~ear-garden exhibitions too numer.
out this session. As n result, nine Demo.
cratic As%srmblymen. including OK
Speaker Sulzer. were declared in con-
tempt and were publicly rcbukcd by
Speaker Malby. They were liable to
Imprisonment, or fine, or both. II tn"
majority had chosen to press the infic-
ton of the penalty.
The disorderly conduct OF the members
seems to have been provoked unncces-
sarily aud by n proceeding bearing much
the appearance of unfair play on the part
Of the majority leaders. A few days
ago 1t was charged that II bill providing
for the appointment OF six additional fac
tory inspectors. to which Mr.. Ainsworth
Is strongly opposed, was beaten by n
false count of the yeas and nays. A
motion to reconsider the vote was be
fore the Assembly yesterday and the
Clerk announced the result in figures
tailed recapitulation of the yeas and
nays, which was refused.
The request was reasonable and in ac-
cordance with practice. The refusal was
the more unjust because of the sus-
plcion existing as to the fairness OF the
former count.
The disorder that followed was repre-
hensiblc. but no disinterested person will
deny that II was provoked by the inju-
dicious II not dishonest action of the Re
publican leaders. There H. no doubt
OF the fact that at least one member who
voted in the Affirmative was not re
corded.
Speaker Malby. subsequent to the dis
%turbancc. practically admitted the wrong
committed by the majority by directing
the Clerk to announce the result of the
roll-call in detail, giving the names Of
those who had voted in the affirmative
or in the negative. 1t was the refusal
of this just demand that caused the out
break.
