good quaIitiee and they should be re-

came to him Mr.. Tabor became possessed
with the idea that the people were en-

that share royalty. He erected the Ia

Denver at immense cost and made other
investments in that city. He backed the

The resolutions introduced in the
house Of representatives, calling down
Mr.. Bayard for his alleged anti American
expressions before an audience in Edin-
burgh, are attracting considerable atten-
ton from the press Of the country.
Naturally the sentiment is divided. but
u large majority of the exchanges at
hand are willing to admit that the
United States ambassador to England
was at least injudicious in his u~tterances.
or a contrary opinion, however, is our
esteemed contemporary, the Helena lu-
dependent. 1t Gays: 'The talk Of i'm
peaching Bayard is pretentions drivel

The house Of representatives Of Congress
is supposed to be the representative
body in the United States. 1t may
ut times, in the future, as it has in the
past, i more the popular will, but such
lapscs do not rob it Of it's representative
capacity, O do they crown the cXccn-

fcrred upon him by the constitution.
Just at this juucture Mr.. Cleveland and
all his appointoes, whether at home OF
abroad, are imbued with the idea that
tho Cleveland will is law. 1t ie in the
power Of congress to call d halt and the

to the general school fund, to be appor-

tricts according to their school popula-
ton. District No. ] will receive a little
less than haif Of the entire amount II

general fund to the general school fund.
AS the proceeds from the special tax Of .
mills. levied by school district No. |, fell
short about $1,000 of the amount expect
ed, this district will be about $1,000
short, and will tind it difficult to pay eX-
penses. However, there are So, 100 in the
sinking fund OF the district, which the
trustees may possibly "borrow.'
The commissioners opened the bids

county Jail in Great Falls and found

TIL GA ME LA VS..

Among the conumdrums Of the codes
the question as to the game law now
takes a place. According to an opinion
of Mr.. Attorney General Haskell the
law as embodied in the codes ie
not in force and the law Of 1893 is. The
two differ materially and a proper and
natural inquiry lie, which, If either, shall
the people obey: This is a pertinent
question and one that not only affects
the rights, but, in some instances, the
liberty of law abiding citizens, A case
in point occurred in Bozeman "a few
weeks ago when Il citizen was fined $500
for killing An elk, az he had a perfect
right to do under the codes. No one will
dispute that these codes wore published
as the laws of the state, aud that being
the case. 1t seems Incredible that a citl-
zen should be punished for acting under
them. Yet that is what was done IN the
Bozeman trial. 1t will not do to
say that Haskell had rendered an opin.
ion; his opinion has not the effect of law,
and until a competent court passes upon
the subject it does seem AS though an
individual! should not be mulcted by d
, heavy fine for the alleged violation of a
law that he has every reason, legal anc
moral. to believe is IN force aud effect
There is neither justice nor fairness il
