and two hundred boys and girls could
be seen marching through the long aisle
Of the Grove keeping step to the sound
OF sweet melodious music. The smiles
on the faces of those noble y0uths spoke
plainly Of the careful trimming they had
received in school.
Every feature Of the programme was

A Point or view.

4 n AVlht VI .NAGWe
Mr.. EprroR:-I was an eye
witness aud spectator at the
Democratic conventions held on
saturd ay and Thurs day
and saw apractieal illustration of
what is meant, or rather what is
not meant, by Civil Service Re.
form and offensive partnership
under a Democratic administra-
ton. At the Clark primary the
stawlwart, good looking night
Waterman at the government
building was a conspicuous figure
and active participant in the
meeting. At the Coal primary
our young and handsome post
master was also present and lend
ing the weight of his official in:
fuence to the proceedings. The.
Janitor has also not been q silent
inactive locker on, and it is said
he had committed to him the
charge of keeping the voters of
Union in line for the patron of
these several officials-Mr. John
o. Pendleton. 1t was made a
matter of severe comment by
our Democratic friends for Re-
publican Federal officials to take
part in political meetings, and
many a poor devil of a Republi-
can who was holding Office when
Mr.. Cleveland's administration
began was hoisted out of office
upon the ground of offensive
partizanship." VIII not some of
our patriotic and consistent
Democratic brethren cry aloud
against this exhibition of '.offen-
sive partnership and bring the
matter to the attention of Gro
yer and have them removed ?
What is sauce for the goose is
surely sauce for the gander."
Or are the Civil Service rules and
offensive partizanship" reserved
for Republicans alone ? Will
not some of the brainy brethren
on the other side, such as Hon.
W. L. Wilson or the Hon. John
j. Davis, enlighten us how this
is? This is an instance for the
application of your doctrine, if it
be wholesome, for the puriica-
ton of the public service.
CONSISTENCY.

1t was a daisy and no mistake.
Chairs and knives were resorted
to by a few and then the fight
became ugly One fellow tried
to get out his revolver but the
crowd closed in on HIM and he
had to surrender. Several ar.
rests were made and some were
sent to jail, among them being
Boyles. Singleton and Frazier.
After the disgraceful row had
been quieted to some extent a
vote was taken and Koon beat
Southern about three votes. The
men who were sent to Jail were of
Southern's forces. and had the
vote been taken before the fight.
Koon would have been defeated.
Mr.. Southern. in a scornful
manner. moved to make Rooms
nomination unanimous, at the
same time warning them that
things would be evened up at the
polls in November. There are a
number of Democrats who are
Disguised and openly say that
Saturdays convention was a
shame and disgrace to any civil
liked community. Several have
already declared that they have
mad enough of Democracy and
hereafter they will be found in
other circles.

people over the State and the

1T must be admitted that no
tariff measure can accord with
Democratic principles and prom
ises orbear a genuine Democratic
badge that does notproyide for
free raw materials. In these
circumstances it may well excite
our wonder that Democrats are.
willing to depart from this. the
most Democratic of all tariff
principles, and that the incon-
sistent absurdity of such a pro-
posed departure should be
emphasized by the suggestion
that the WOOL of the farmer be

ton Of tariff taxation be placed

She's Coming to Montana.

Paddy O'Dowd, Montana Enoch
Arden, who a few months ago attract
ed such wide attention by turning
up suddenly at Newark, N. j., to
claim his long lost wife and to kick
out of the house her third half, has
returned to the region of Tongue
river, says the Miles City Stock
Journal. He came without Mrs.
O'Dowd, but claims that he has fired
permanently the man that has been
promoted to husband during Paddy's
many years of absence. The reason
the lady did not come to live on a
Montana ranch at this time is be-
cause of the fact that the New Jersey
courts would not allow her to take
from that state two daughters who
do not bear the name of O'Dowd.
She will come to Montana later, how
ever.

Of Interest to Miners.

Through the kindness of Senator Power
we receive a copy of two laws of I'M
portance to Montana, lately passed by
congress. The first is with reference to
annual assessment of mining claims, re-
pealing the same for 1894. The second
relates to the final proof on lands claimed
under the public land laws of the coun-
try. The former reads as follows:
NoN-AssEssMENT LAW.
"Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled, that the
provisions of section numbered twenty
three hundred and twenty-four of the re-
vised statutes of the United States,
which require that on each claim located
after the tenth day of May, eighteen
hundred and seventy-two, and I'M
til patent has been issued therefor, not
less than one hundred dollars worth of
labor shall be performed or improve
ments made during each year, be sus-
pended for the year eighteen hundred
and ninety-four, so that no mining claim,
which has been regularly located and re-
corded as required by the local laws and
mining regulations shall be subject to
forfeiture for nonperformance of the an
nual assessment fsr the year eighteen
hundred and ninety-four:
"Provided, That the claimant or claim
ants of any mining location, in order to
secure the benefits of this act, shall cause
to be recorded in the office where the
location notice or certificate is filed, on
or before December th~irty-first, eighteen
hundred and ninety-four, a notice that
he or they in good faith intend to hold
and work said claim:
"Provided, however, That the provis-
ions Of this act shall not apply to the
| state of South Dakota.
"Scction 2. That this act shall take
effect from and after its passage.

Gold From Upper Judith.

who was formerly engaged in the
livery business in this city, is in
town for a few days. He says the
judith basin never looked better
from an agricultural standpoint, the
ranchmen feel correspondingly
happy. He is exhibiting a bottle of
fine gold, which represent a couple

at the Peck ranch. 1t is worth about
$50. The placer in question was
discovered while the Pecks were
excavating for an irrigation ditch.
Work on the diggings has been sus-
pended for the present until the
crops have ripened, as the water is
needed for irrigating purposes. In
a couple of weeks work will he re-
