"A Remarkable Bet.

News of a remarkable bet comes
from Birmingham, N. Y. A re-
republican bet democrat 500 to
one cent that Morton would be
elected-odds 10000 to one-ap-
parently y pretty long shot. But
the originator of this innocent
little bet inserted little Joker as a
sort of an after thought. He
stipulated that for every vote re-
ceived by Morton in excess of Hill,
the democrat was to pay him one
cent additional. The republican
was really betting 800 even that
Morton would have 10000 plural
ity. If Morton's plurality fell
short of 10000 be was offering
odds in proportion to the amount
of the shortage. II Morton's plus
rality exceeded 10000 be was ex-
acting odds in proportion to the
amount of the excess. The demo-
crat who accepted the innocent
little bet was offering his opponent
two to one that Morton would not
have TO- plurality, better odds
than any of the heavy betters
were giving in New York. AS it
happened that Morton received
156, 900 plurality, the Birmingham
democrat is now indebted to his
financiering opponent 81, 800, or at
the rate of over fifteen to one

There is another big strike on in
the Occur d. Alene country. All
the union men in the mines con-
trolled by the Bunker Hill Il Sui
livan company at Wardner have
laid down their tools and the hard
est fought battle ever known be-
tween the miners and mine owners
is expected. The Miners union
demanded SO. so per day for under
ground work with no scab labor
employed, and this was refused by
the company. There has not been
serious conflict up to the present
time, but the miners are determ-
ined to win in this struggle and the
situation is critical.

American people are striving to

And now what are our officers
elect of the county going to do in
the matter of deputies. They have
promised the deputyships to pretty
near every one. Truly they are a
promising set. 1t is common in
quiry when two men meet each
other as to what deputyships they
have been promised. There are
seven men in the county who have
zach informed the man who drives
the quill that they have dead
cinch on the same Office as deputy.
The only way this can be accom-
plished will be for one to serve

Now and then something hap
pens to give force to the adage that
republics are ungrateful. The
widow of Abraham Lincoln was
allowed to wander up and down
Europe in rcgs. until it excited
foreign comment, before congress
remembered its duty and made
provision for her. A grand niece
of Count Pulaski has entered a
suit against the United States for
back pay due to that gallant SOL
dier. :, ,Count'Pulaski came to our
assistance during the revolutionary
war. He fought nobly and was of
no little help to us in gaining our
independence. In fact, that inde-
pendence would 3ave been long de-
layed had it not been for the help
of Pulaski, Koscinsko, Lafayette,
Steuben and others who responded
to our call for help. 1t lis a dis
grace to our nation that at this
late day money should be owing to
any of the gallant officers or SOL
diers of the revolution.

BROTHER RoLFE, in Wednesdays
Leader, denies that he is in the
field for office, and adds that
newspaper men are generally too
busy helping other people to office
to be candidates themselves. Its
very different in Teton county.
The publisher of the Acantha found
plenty of time this fall to run for
office but majority OF the people
OF the county could not find time
to vote. for him. The editor OF the
Mon tanian at Choteau was not
candidate himself, and up to date
we have heard no one accuse him
of "helping" to elect any Of the
successful candidates-not even
those nominated by the party
which he is supposed to represent.
We believe that the Leader very
materially assisted the republican
ticket in Cascade county and for
that reason the Acantha would be
very much pleased to see Mr.. Rolfe
receive at least a complimentary
vote for United States Senator. It
would show that the Leaders SER
vices were appreciated. ''To the
victor>. lbelopg the spoils" yea
