Candidate for 1896.

Mr.. James S. Hogg, who has just
vacated the governors chair of
Texas, has illustrated on as broad
a scale as that state will permit the
propensity of the Democratic party
to get rid of surplus and create a
deficiency.
When he wect into office four
years ago, there was 81, $50, 100 in
the state treasury. He has spent
that and will leave to his successor
floating debt unprovided for of
81, 300, 900 besides. He was not
more successful in this respect,
however, than in getting rid of
Democratic votes. When first
elected in 1890 he had 1872, 594 ma
jority of the popular vote, but last
November his party was able to
obtain plurality of only 56,038,
and it was in a minority of 7,642
on the popular vote. And the to-
tol vote polled in 1894 was the
largest ever cast in Texas.
Grover Cleveland has done bet
ter than this, it is true. He has
got rid of all the surplus and in
creased the debt about $3.50, OOO,
600 and put his party in a minority
on the popular vote of 1900, 900.
But it should be said in Governor
Hogg's favor that the field he had
to work in is much smaller than
Mr.. Cleveland's field. Texas is a
pretty big state, but is only one
twelfth as large as the United
States, and it doesn't handle more
than 80 cents where Uncle Sam
handles $1O0. So, taking the op-
portunities of the two men into &C
count, Governor Hogg has"proved
himself 1.-THE equal of President
Cleveland as surplus distributor
and deficiency creator and as dis
gus ter of Democratic voters.
There has been some languid
talk as to who shall be the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
in 1896. We would like to contri-
butte little animation to the car
vass by suggesting the name of
James S. Hogg of Texas. He ap-
pears to be the ''logical' candidate
provided, of course, that there is
Democratic party in existance next
year.-Philadelphia Press.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1895-02-23

FROM Montana papers we learn
that the Secretary of the Interior
at Washington has shown willing
ness to make a treaty with the
Blackfeet Indians for the mineral
portions of their reservation, but
is opposed to treating with the
Fort Belknap Indians for the sur
render OF the mineral portion OF
the Little Rockies. To man cup
a tree" this is not at all surprising.
The honorable secretary of the
interior is not interested in any
mines on the Fort Belknap reser-
walton, but the charge has been
made that the Washington officials
are interested in certain ''pros-
poets" on the Blackfeet reserva.
ton. For that reason we cannot
agree with the editor of the Chi
nook Opinion when he says that
"we are certain that the honorable
secretary of the interior is not
aware of the true facts. He
probably knows too many facts.

IT is AN open secret that the
paper published at Choteau is
afraid to meet the ACANTHA in open
competition since the present pub
Usher secured the control of this
paper. The editorials in the last
issue of the Mon tanian were writ
ten by shuler m. corson, the black
smith who acts as its editor, with
the intention of deceiving the
public. He knows, as does the
public in general, that the transfer
in the management of the ACANTHA
was bona fide. In his insinuations
to the contrary he has shown his
hand. He is afraid that the
ACANTHA will make bid for the
contract for county printing for
the coming year, and is afraid to
meet us in an open field where no
favors will be shown. The county
commissioners of Teton county are
men of intelligence. They know a
republican newspaper when they
see one, and the attempts of mr..
corson to throw mud at the AcAN-
TIA and its present publisher will
meet with the contempt it deserves.
Come out in the open, corson
fight square, and if you bid lower
than we do for the county printing
we assure you we hope you will
secure the contract.

of the life of his son, Jack Chapman
one of the train robbers who was
killed in October, 1894, while re-
sisting arrest on the Blackfeet
reservation. Chapman was mem
ber of the gang which held up the
Northern Pacific train at Grey
Cliff in August, 1894, and then
struck off to the northwest portion
of the state on the line of the Great
Northern. The father of the dead
train robber sent letter, addressed
to Jas. Moots, which he requested
the marshal to mail to Moots. The
latter was the young fellow who
joined the train robbers after they
reached the reservation. He and
Charley Jones were the only SUR
vivors of the fight with the posse
which rounded up the gang. In
consideration of giving testimony
which convicted Jones he was al

among the innumerable direc>

scape goat: The officiating priest
took two goats and cast lots to de-
termine which one should bear the
sins of the people. He then took
the one which had been chosen for
scape goat and laid his hands up
on it; by that act placing the sins
of the congregation upon the un-
