Keep The Record Straight.

Keep The Record Straight.
AS far as their jurisdiction ex-
tends the honorable" board of
county commissioners have almost
unlimited power. They can tell A.
that petition, with ten or fifteen
names on it, will be sufficient to
get him the appointment as road
supervisor. They can tell B. to
get out among his neighbors and
rustic, and the II an with the
'largest and best petition" will
get this same appointment. They
can then give this Office to G. and
tell A. and BIS friends that they
are foolish when they think that a
petition to this "honorable" body
will do anyone any good. They
can then reconsider and rescind
the appointment of c. and appoint
either A. or B., but when they
falsify the records in the case they
have assumed powers that cannot
be granted to even the ''honorable"
board of county commissioners.
In the minutes OF their last
meeting we find the following:
"Miller moved that the appoint
"ment of Chas. Dunlap as road
supervisor of Road District No. ]
"be reconsidered and rescinded,
for the reason that he has a
"homestead claim in District No.3
"Seconded by Jones and carried. >
The appointment of Chas. Dun
lap was not rcconsldered and re
scinded on the grounds contained
in the above statement. MIR. Dun
laps homes tead claim in th. Bynuu
district has been abandoned BY
him for nearly year. That fac
was known by our "honorabie'
commissioners when they rescindee
his appointment. They clearly hat
no right to give that reason in th
official minutes. Mr.. Dunlap's ap
pointment was rescindcd, in ou
opinion, simply because he was no
owned by the same faction tina
owns our "honorable" con mission
ers. It would have been NOR
manly if they had come out an

Random Shots.

Whea the upeople of this
nation were afflicted with Temporal
ry insanity, in 1892, ard placed
a democratic government in power,
we were told that it would last for
twenty years. 1t was supposed
that the republicans had received a
knock out blow and it would re-
quire that length of time to re-
cover. The pompous heralds of
the new dispensation announced a
complete reversal Of the old order
of things. "We will never rest
until we have wiped .the last YES
tige of republican legislation from
the statute books" OF course not.
Everything the republican thieves
had done must be undone. Repub-
lican legislation had ruined the
country. Democr attic legislation
would right everything and re-
store the nation to its pristine
glory. Republican rule had been
evil and only evil. 1t had not one
redeeming trait. They would
wipe it all away, and fumigate the
place it had occupied.
When MIR. Cleveland came into
power he could do no less than car

tions of his party. He found the
republicans were making prepara-
tions for the annexation of Hawaii
lie would stop all that. A repub-
lican minister had hoisted the
American flag in Honolulu. He
would haul it down. Men, in the
Sandwich islands, actuated by the
principles of republicanism, had
overthrown debased monarchy
and set up republic. He would
lay upon them the mailed hand of
power and set up the fallen mon
arch. An annexation committee
was here to treat with the govern
ment. They might go back where
they come from. The whole thing 9

republicans, and had not his party

In the light of these facts, it is
strange that anyone can be found
to condemn Mr.. Cleveland as a
traitor to his party. If you will
carefully read over the Chicago
platform, and compare that with
the actions of the president, you
will no doubt observe that he
stands nearer to that platform than
his party does. He has more hon
estly tried to carry cut the profess
sion of democracy, than the rep
resentatives of that party in con-
gress.
Mr.. Cleveland is the central fig
ure OF democracy. He is the sun
around which the lesser lights re-
volve. 1t is very small business
for democrats to seek the over
throw and disgrace of their great
leader, because the principles OF
democracy, when reduced to prac>
tice, have blighting effect upon
the nation.

The Mine Mule.

Patrick Murray of Perth Amboy,
N. j., had an exciting experience
with a mine mule at Summit Hill,
Pa, which he will never forget.
When he reached the bottom of the
slope and proceeded to explore the
gangway, he attracted the attention
of one of the mules. He is at a loss
to know what angered the animal,
but the beast came for him at full
speed, and Murray started for a
heading" with nothing but the
light of miners lamp to guide him.
1t was a race for life. The mule
was rapidly closing the gap when
the ~Jerseyman reached two mine
cars. He plunged between them.
The mule countermarched and began
using his hind feet with terrible
effect. He kicked the stout oak
planks of the car into kindling wood.
and while he was occupied in this
manner Murray made his escape and
returned to the surface. Heis fully
satisfied that the mine mule is not to
be tri1ed with, especially if you are
a tenderfoot with a red necktie.-

THE FRAUD POS

The charge by this paper against
the Townsend Messenger of boom
ing the forlorn hopes of Broadwater
county has been meekly answered
by that worthy editor in the following
words:
| I'M not in the fight, nor do | intend
to be, consequently | don't care a picay-
une whether it's Broadwater or Halifax,
AS | don't wi a single under the pro-
posed government and would not own
one if | could. However, | can be
bought, etc.
a clearer expose could not have
been set in words. The people of
that section are too sensible to invite
financial troubles and too honest to
break the promiseso last September,
which were given, bona fde, that the
proposition to segregate on those
lines would not be revived for aterm
of two or more years. Here is an
after statement by one of the boom
ers. The only paper in the proposed
new county is paid for its labors and
all the fine articles printed in this
connection are as so much advertis-
ing at regular rates. Bro. McCune
is honest in the matter. 1t is a
matter of no ICE to him, whose
interests IN the proposed change con-
sist only of "A roll of blankets and a
package of cigarettes with perhaps a
few gem photos such as are usually
found in each package of these social
companions.

exposition of the fraudulent move

names of the good Townsend people
who gave their word of honor at
county conventions that the Broad
water hoax is dead.

names?

Plays With Fer Eyes Shut.

Camilla Urso, the violinist, always
closes her eyes when playing. This
she explains: people in the audi

A lady might come in late wearing
a high bonnet with nodding feath-
ers. That bonnet Immediately had
an individuality above all others; it
fascinated me. A young couple
whispering behind their hands, 9TH

Rapid Gun Fire.
Modern guns on shipboard, with
their great rapidity of fire and Won
derful facilities for loading, bid fair
to become almost as dangerous to
their possessor and his friends as the
traditional pistol in the hands of a
small boy. The guns are too fatally
easy to "loose off" In the old days
when it took a guns crew a com
paratively long time to load, a gun
ner thought twice ere he fired his first
round, but now, with guns Of mod
crate size, it takes no time at all to
load, and the gunner need never be
afraid that the act of firing will de-
prive him of the ability to utilize
another occasion for an effective
shot.
The result is that in action, real
or make believe, guns tend to be dis
charged more and more thoughtless-
ly, hastily and Into the brown"
If, with our improved guns, we can
secure commensurately improved
fire control, all will be well, but I do
not think that the present fashion of
isolating single guns and of shutting
off guns crews from the eye of a
commissioned officer conduces to
this. To securing good fire control,
therefore, attention might be
advantageously directed. - Nine

New Idea: In advocating the
candidacy of Hon. Lee Mantle of
the west side, and Hon. Gilbert ID.
Weed, of the east side, for United
States senators, we feel we are
espousing the cause of the brainiest
young republicans in Montana. Their
record on silver is SO pronounced the
Legislature will not have to put on
spectacles to ascertain this fact.
Mantle and Weed, in addition to be-
ing regular men in every sense, are
honest and upright and would be
equipped SO AS to cope with the
biggest guns in the senate, as
champions Of silver they would be
to Montana what Ed Wolcott and H.
NJ. Teller are to Colorado. These
two able and worthy gentlemen are
developing substantial strength
throughout the state as time rolls on
for the meeting of the Montana legi-
stature. We hope that they may be
triumphantly elected.

Hon. Il. II. Carter is IA man of
ability; but his record and position
in opposition to the free coinage of
silver are too well known to require
comment. The receivers of the
Northern Pacific railroad are also es-
pecially DESTROYS for the election of
Mr.. Carter. Why their enthusiasm
in his behalf? Is it because they be-
lieve him to be Jealous in preserving
the mineral lands of Montana to the
people, or because he would be with
the corporation and against the peo-
pie on that question, as he is with the
banks and against the people on the
silver question? Let these matters
receive the serious consideration of
republicans, because upon their wise
decision depends the future success
or failure of the party in Montana.
