The Record Broken.

The receipts of gold bullion at the
United States assay Office in Helena for
the past week amounted to S120.08S.14
This is the largest weeks business in
the history of the Helena Office, not only
in the value, but in the numbers bars
melted and assayed. One hundred and
thirty bars we're handled. which is be
lieyed to be the largest number of de-
poslts received at any assay Office for a
like period, and so far as known is next
to the largest in point Of value, being
only about s2S 900 less than the banner
week at Denver recently. The next lar
gest amount in the history Of the assay
Office here was s5S,000 one week last
year. The force at the assay Office had
to work overtime last week to handle

equalization this year is sG,sSs .}52, as
against e. .9Gl, s6s last year. a shrinkage
Of 81 ,G73,5lG. which in itself accounts for
good portion Of the increased tax levy

reality, the commissioners are only seek
ing to raise some $1,000 more this year
than last, notwithstanding there is an
expensive bridge to pay for and largely
increased road expenditures to be met
Rigid economy in all disbursements will
therefore be necessary to make both
ends meet.

THE ROsENCRANs CASE.
Mail Clerk Objects to Some Things
said by the Journal


Editor Yellowstone journal:
SIR:-Permit me to call your attention
te the editorial in your issue of the 18th.
on the conduct Of Mr.. Rosencrans the
postal clerk, who is now under arrest for
robbing the mails You are in error
when you state that he has been in the
service fifteen years, he has not been in
seven years. You call the public's at
tention to the fact that one in the ser
vice such length OF time should know
better than to steal. and you wind up by
saying that postal clerks can only be
compared to sheep herders, intimating
that they are weak minded. Why should
you not draw the same comparison for
your bank cashiers and other business
men Of high standing that are going
wrong nearly every day in some part of
the country The percentage OF crimes
committed in the railway mail service s
far below the percentage Of crimes com.
United in other branches of business m
this country. As an editor you know
this to be true. and. as an editor you
know that the intelligence OF the postal
clerks OF this country will compare fav-
orable with the average intelligence of
the country editor.

We cheerfully give place TO the above
communications and will merely add
that the reference to sheep herders while
unfortunate was not intended to carry
any ulterior reference. The feature of
the case that struck the writer was that
Rosencrans must have known-as well
as he knew himself-that detection was
sure and speedy. That man who
would deliberately commit crime un-
der these circumstances must be crazy.
Reasoning from effect back to cause.
and considering that mail clerks all over
the country :are doing this same thing
every now and then. a natural deduction
was that their habit OF life, which is
largely solitary, induced disordered in.
tellect. The sheep herder. the most
solitary type known in this section,
furnished a simile which was used with
out due reflection as to how the mail
clerks would like IT.

Almighty and alwise Satan, thou
fullhedged and universally recognIz-
ed leader of our great political par
ty; We do thank thee that thou
hast permitted us to pursue our
abusive and treacherOus course
thus far unmolested We thank
thee thou great King of Demons
that thou hast instilled in us the
hatred and anarchical feeling that
we cherish for the democrats and
our southern neighbors, We bite
the dust before thee, o, Prince Of
Perdition, and humbly accept all
the slanderous thoughts that thou
canst communicate to us. We
thank thee that thou hast com
pletely emptied and renovated our
heads so that the wind has full con
troll which when we get into a crowd
it rushes out of our mouths making
great noise. We bless thy name,
thou forked tail "beaut" that thou
has the power to let us partake of
thy nature to the extent that we
love the false and abominate the
true.
O, thou power of darkness, do
please use thy influence on Grover
Cleveland and the present Congress
so that they will do nothing for the
mutual benefit of the people in
common. o, wilt thou spread des-
olation, disease and death all over
this country during the present ad-
ministration so that the children of
men may be left homeless, father
less and penniless, That is what
we are yearning for; that is what
will make our hearts exceedingly
glad, o, may hundreds and thou
sands starve and die daily of de-
struction. And then grant that
poor weak humanity may be made
to believe that thet democrats are
wholly at fault. Wepray thy great
est curse upon the democrats-th

we are the leaves, that thou art

We know that we have good
men in our party, but Great
Hades' how scarce they are. O,
thou monarch of birthstone, make

they will believe everything publish
