they received salaries, when the

thing the Congress may be sure,
every man, new or old member,

THEMAJESTY OF THELAW

The revival of arbitrary acts
by the citizens of an adjoining
county lately, brings up with
great force the necessity Of ali
citizens to say that the laws of
the state shall be fearIessly en-
forced, and it is the duty Of ev-
cry citizen OF this country to deo
mand that every law duly Great
ed by the Iaw-m sking powers
shall be enforced by tie proper
officers and as by law directed.
To say that any body ofpeople
may at their will assume cODtroi
of powers which belong to judic-
lal and executive officers, is but
the beginning OF disregard to an
y law aud may lead to the weak
ening of what we claim is the
highest boon of citizenship, the
right of trial by jury, the pro-
lection of life and property.
That revolving Grim IS are com
mitted by brutes Is disgrace,
and rape should always mean
rope, we believe, but the rope
should be applied by the proper
authority, and there should be
no palliation Of the offence,
whether the offender be black or
white. All are equal under the
law, aud well-meaning people
ought to say nd mea nit, that
the law of the State shall be and
must be supported and resp cted.
There may be cases which
justly excite indignation and
seem to demand summary retri-
button, but it should be done
legally, as no two wrongs ever
made a right.
We say then, support every
law but insist in our counties,
towns and cities, upon that stand
ard of morality which in it's pOss
ession is bulwark and protect
ion to all. Let tins profligate,
learned or illiterate, know thai
the law mnst an d will be enforce
ed, not the freak of any fanatic
but the good, honest code of
morals, and then we can fee
that we at least are secure.

have gone a'glimmerIng. There are some
prominent politicians, however, who still
hope that there may be some change
brought about by which citizens ticket
may be placed in the field upon plat
form of the greatest benefit to the city.
These hopeful citizens include some OF
the best men in both the old parties and
they are still using their influence to bring
about such a movement.
The republicans, however, seem deter
mined 10 put a party ticket in the field,
and il this is done the democrats will be
forced to follow suit. This feeling in the
republican ranks seems to BIO inspired TO
a large extent by the numerous candi-
dates for the city marshalship. These are
numerous and each has plenty of friends
who think no has n cinch. X. w. Ange-
vine is said to have a strong pull for the
place, and George Wood has a goodly fol-
lowing. Then there is Sam Bellew. whose
friends among the old timers are numer-
Gus. julie Hartley isn't saying much, but
his friends think that he would make a
good marshal.
The democratic central committee met
this evening to discuss the local situation
and tho result of their deliberations will
probably be n good city ticket with the
democratic eagle at tho top of il. There
have been several men suggested for the
head of the democratic ticket, but the
weight of sentiment seems to be in favor
of Judge w. j. Stephens. The judge is a
large property owner here and could be
depended upon to give the city credit
able and economical administration. He
has been prominent in the democratic
party ever since there has been ono in
Missoula and has the confidence of the
people.
There are no democratic candidates in
the field for city marshal except the pres
ent incumbent, Col. Clarence Prescott,
and ne seems to he good enough for all
practical purposes.

TWO-fIEADED CALF,
Freak Received by a MIssouIa Man
Two Hearts Also


Two Hearts Also.
MIssoULA, March 27.-Charles Emsley
received yesterday from S. Hogan of Gold
Creek freak of nature in the shape of a
two-headed calf. The animal had lived
only brief time after birth, and the car
cass was sent to Mr.. Emsley to be
mounted and preserved. The calf was
dark red with white markings and both
heads were perfectly formed. The necks
branched from the shoulders and the
markings of each face were like those of
tho other, a white blaze on the forehead.
Dissection of the animal showed that it
had two hearts of normal size, but that
there were no lungs except a small forma
ton which occupied the space left by the
hearts, but which was wholly inadequate
in size and construction to sustain the
animals life. The liver was single, but
was twice as large as the normal organ.
The remainder of the animals digestive
apparatus was as it should be and, if
there had been any provision for its res
piration, it might have lived. Mr.. Emsley
will mount the calf and add it to his al
ready interesting collection.
1t is said that there is n calf that was
born near Frenchtown this spring that
has two noses and is doing well. 1t h as
been purchased for exhibition purposes
by couple of young men who will con-
duct travelling menagerie this summer.
