Choteau Montanian: In his farewell
wall Editor Mclaughlin, who has sever
ed his connection with the River Press
to assume the duties of sheriff of Chot-
eau county, predicts that editors may
come and go, but it will be a long time
before the River Press finds an editor
who will completely fill iii Shoes and
the people believe him, because Mac has
really the biggest feet of any editor west
of the Mississippi.
Great Falls Leader: The above state
ment should be taken "cum grano sails"
For instance, it is claimed that the Inter
Mountain editor has larger feet, or is it
headl At all events the subject is a
great one and shouldn't be left the Mon
tanian alone to decide.
1t would probably be difficult to
find bigger feet in Montana than
those fastened to Mclaughlin. But
as for big heads, "A meager sense OF
modesty should have admonished the
Leader mar to keep silent. 1t is a
we'll known scientific fact that the
only genuine, well-defined case Of
big-head in the whole northwest is il
the Leader Office. Profound pity fol
such human monstrosities AS the ONT
aforementioned prompts us to beg
the press not to pursue the subjec'
further.

Meagher is Honored.

Independent: David K. Folsom of
Meagher has virtually been settled
upon as president of the senate.
This is one of the highest offices in
the gift of that body, as the president
of the senate succeeds the lieutenant
governor as presiding officer, and be-
comes lieutenant governor in case of
"A vacancy in that office through
death, resignation or promotion.

A Sensible View.

River Press: As a rule, any multi
plication of county lines will be an
additional burden upon the taxpay-
ers. An increase in the number of
public officials means a larger ex-
pense to the public with no addition
al wealth subject to taxation, and
with tax levies higher than ever be-
fore known throughout the greater
portion of the state, it is surprising
that encouragement should be given
to schemes that contemplate a still
heavier tax burden.

PRESS COMMENT.
A Powerful Team.

Belt Valley Times (Rep.) Two
better or more capable men for I.
5. senators can not be found in this
state than Lee Mantle and E. ID.
Weed. Both are staunch and true
republicans. Both have been before
the public as public men and not a
stain marks their record Both are
progressive, aggressive and deter
mined, and on the silver question are
as loyal as Bland or Stewart. What
more can be asked? Neither have
they been driven to their position on
the silver question by any fear Of fol-
party favor, but have always been on
that side, because they knew it to be
for the interest of themselves and oil
the people of Montana. These are
the kind of men we want to represent
Montana, and these the men whom
we believe will be selected. Mantl,
and Weed.

Let's Have a Wake.

Butte Tribune (Pop.): The popul-
list party is dead as far as Montana is
concerned. No party can long sur
vive in this state that is conducted on
the narrow lines which characterized
the pops in the last election. \ one
nationality party won't do in this
cosmopoliton commonwealth.

HE'S ON HIS EAR TODAY.

The gentleman who edits the
Meagher County News devotes a few
of his usually barren columns to what
he is pleased to term a roast for this
paper. He could not be more mista-
ken than to imagine that such dis
play Of malice and ire will strength
his cause. If he will present argu-
ments in the calmncss of his erener
mood, we will guarantee to stretch
his hide triumphantly owe a keg.
The public will excnse us for giving
the bloke the slightest notice.
The HERALD did not say that the
News plant is not clear of encum
ORANGES. 1t merely included it in
that other class of papers whose
editors are too ignorant to eve pos
sess an opinion. 1t didn't mean that
the News was afraid to call a pick a
pick, but rather questioned whether
its editor would know a pick if he
saw one.
This editor is so densely ignorant
that he doesn't even know how little
he does know, As a sample Of his
enormous crudity, he thinks and says
that the editor of the HERALD car
ries the votes of Neihart in his vest
pocket. His only complaint seems
70 be that the votes were not deliv-
cred at the right time.
1t is not gcntlemanly to lose TEN
per. And to lose temper at the rail
ings of a fool is to class ones sell
with the fool. God forbid that any
one should aver class this paper witt
the "Rag." AS a representative Of
White Sulphur Springs we would
advise the News man to say nothing
about the comparative vote of the
two places, as the figures are in nc
way favorable to his town.
The superior power he ascribes tc
the HERALD man might be consider
ed in the light Of a compliment, were
it not for the supreme and mastery
i,,,,ro,o, Of tho ,yritar
So far as our labors for an extra
Legislative session are concerned, oul
editor only carried out the instruc
tons as he received them from the
Neihart Silver Club. fad this clul
not had confidence in him they would
never have paid his way to Butte a
"A delegate to the silver convention
He accepted the instructions and full
filled them to the best of his ability
He has Y enslaved himself to an,
party; yet almost all the leading re
publicans of the state have paid hin
compliments for what they were dis
posed to term c~Ommendable service
If the News attacks us for infdelit
to party becase we are not enslave'
to the party, he can have the issu
with all the enslavement he likes.
he means that everything republica
is right because it is republican, the
he ear have all the argument h
wants. We w no party that tn
people must serve.
The News is most certainly wron
in declaring that it is compelled

in order to keep it in line, Or els
as it says we have forgotten the tim,
But we advance the more probab.
theory that the HERALD has new
been whipped, in or out of line; NJ
has its editor ever been chastise,
ever by Il county commissioner.
With another apology to II rea,
ers for ever thus noticing this lon.
winded nincompoop and thick-hea'
ed wiseacre we bid the ignoramus
kind adieu.

As the Townsend Messenger says
nothing of the broken pledges of the
citizens of that place we naturally
presume hal it has no defense for
them. The HERALD would like to
know what Representative Spriggs
meant when at convention he claim
ed to be Numerically opposed to
county division, and that if the crazy
proposition were advanced he would
certainly work with the people Of
Meagher county and not with those
alone Of Townsend. Spriggs' all
ment might be technically termed
"vocibus hatibus."

Something Prospectors Don't Know.

1t is a well known fact that loca-
ton notices written in lead pencil
last longer than those written in ink.
1t is a noticeable fact, too, that where
corner stakes are marked on wood in
lead pencil they last nearly as long
as the post itself and are discernible
ten years after their location. This
fact was recently illustrated at Basin
where a location was made in 1880
and the corner posts marked. The
posts were almost decayed, yet the
pencil marks we're plain enough to
read the name of its original locator
and the date Of location.
A notice written in ink and posted
at a mining location on paper will
last about a year, while a pencil no.
tice will last as long and be as plain
as the paper, upon which it is writ
ten, will stand the action of the ele-
ments. "A notice written on a board
or the smooth side of a stake in pen
Gil has been known to last for fifteen
years. For some reason or other q
notice written in ink becomes oblit.
Grated by the action of the weather
and is 500 unintelligible, while pen.
Gil writing is not detachable by any
thing but intentional destruction
In posting patent notices it is wis'
to see that their tracings are writer
in pencil, as the ink description o
notice for patent has the same sus
ceptibility to DETACHMENT as a notice
of location.-Mining Reporter.

ADJOURNED AT ELEVEN
O'CLOCK.
NORTH CAROLINA'S FUSION LEG
STATURE NOW NO MORE.

RALEIGH, N. c., March I3.-
The Fusion Legislature came to
all end tonight at II o'clock. Very
little business has been transact
ed, since last nights high handed
proceedings, as many members
left for their homes this morn
ing and a quorum could not be
obtained.
Several important bills which
the fusionists intended passing
failed on this occount. Notably
among those which could not be
passed for the lack of a quorum
were bills providing for putting
the penitentiary, the North Caro-
lima railroad and the Atlantic &
North Carolina railroad under
the control of Republicans and
Populist directors. The election
of Populist State Librarian in
place of the Democratic incu-
bent failed for the same reason.
The session has been a stormy
one and will be memorable fol-
many reasons. 1t is already
known all over the State as the
douglas Legislature,' and there
is great rejoicing here that it has
adjourned.
