The Case for Mai. Armes.

Washington City, Dec. 2.-Counsel. for
Maj George A. Armes, whose sensational
arrest several months ago for insubordina-
ton by order OF Mai Gen. Schofeld, then
acting secretary of war, was followed by
his discharge by Judge Bradley with a
scathing denunciation Of the arrest, filed
their briefs today in reply to the govern
ments appeal TO the court OF appeals.
They ask the discharge Of Armes from
further liability. first because no power
whatever existed TO make the arrest, and
second, because he was not informed Of
the nature Of the accusations against him.
Counsel say there has been no process OF
law in any sense and no legal commit
ment, and believing, therefore, that the
arrest was unjust. a violation of the law
and subversive of the liberty of the citi-
zen, request that the judgment of the
lower court he affirmed. Military law,
counsel argues, is supreme in military
affairs, but IL must provide for due pro-
cess, not arbitrary Imprisonment. The
case was argued in the appellate court to-
day. Counsel for both sides reviewed their
contention.

Retaliation on Canada.

Washington City. Dec. At is appre-
hended here that the withdrawal by the
Canadian authorities of the right exercis-
ed by American fishermen. for seven years
past OF buying bait and supplies in Cam
adam waters may lead TO reprisals at the
hands OF congress, for ii has been contend
ed all along that the privilege enjoyed by
Canadian railroads Of carrying goods In
bond through the United States was more
than sufficient offset to the favors ex-
tended to American fishermen by Canada.
The action of the Canadian government
just taken has not yet been officially re-
ported to the state department. but 1t is
regarded here as an indication OF Can
ada's purpose to emphasize the necessity
for renewal OF negotiations looking TO
new fishery treaty.

THAT Senator Mantle's arrival in

THE Werner publishing company,
of Chicago and Akron, are com

furnishing text books for Montana
schools. Unless we are badly mis-
taken this company is now having
trouble with the international Ty-
geographical Union because of the
"rat" printers employed by them
in their Office. Senator Flowerroe
and Representative Kennedy of
this county are, we believe, friends
to union labor We trust they will
investigate this and if they find
that this concern is unfriendly to
union printers use their influence
against them.

Random Shots.

On the 22nd of February we will
celebrate the birthday of General
George Washington, the father of
his country Washington was
born on the 11th of February, 1882.
We celebrate the 22nd for the fol-
lowing reason: At the time Of the
council of Nice, A. ID. 1876, the civil
and solar year corresponded. In
1882 the variation amounted to 10
days. Pope Gregory reformed the
calendar. He decreed that the 5th
of October OF that year should be
called the 18th. This decree was
accepted by all the Catholic coun-
tries but was stoutly resisted by
the protestants. This resistance
was kept up for couple of centu>
ries until matters become so com
plex that the Protes tauts were
compelled to come to terms. 1t
was not until the year 1751, nine
teen years after the birth of Wash
ington, that an act passed the
British parliament, intended to
rectify the evil. BY that time the
discrepancy amounted to eleven
days. The third of September,
1852, was by law made the four
teenth, eleven days being dropped
from the calendar, and thus what
would have been the eleventh of
February became the twenty
second.

WHEN the amount of money

WHEN the amount Of money in
the country is increasing there is
no profit in boarding it but holders
invest in one way or another. On
the other hand when the currency
is on th3 deere ase it is boarded, as
its appreciation whilst lying idle
and perfectly safe is as profitable a
use as can be made of it. This is
one reason why there is SO little
money in circulation now.
