The Anaconda Recorder saws:
There is one law on the Montana
statutes that should be repealed, and
that is the n which exempts min
ing claims from mechanics or min.
er's liens. In other words, under
the present system a miner may work
for several months for some adyen.
turer who bonds and leases a pro-
perty, and if the employer is not able
to pay, or will not pay, the miner
has no redress. He cannot levy up
on the mine to secure payment for
his labor. On buildings a mechanic
may file a lien upon not only the
house upon which he is working,
but the lot as we'll. An instance of
the injustice of the present law is re
ported from Jefferson county. 1t is
asserted that various spectators
within the past three years have had
fully 100000 worth Of work done
on a property, and a very large sum
is still due for labor, machinery and
general supplies.

SPRING

THERE does not seem to be the
usual amount of skurry and hustle
in Neihart at this season of the year
in the affairs of municipal politics,
certainly there is nothing to warrant
the least public excitement. The
present town officials are noted for
their good management, economy
and wisdom in the things pertaining
to the towns welfare. They are
competent, representative men and
should if possible be retained in
office.
Especially is Mayor Shaw worthy
of commentator. He has conduct
ed a wise and just administration.
His acts have been characterized by
simplicity, and lack of ostentation.
His judgments have been accepted,
and nobody can say that they were
not righteous. His year has been a
peaceful one, and if honor is tender
ed to whom honor is due, the r%e-elec-
ton of Mayor Shaw will follow with
out a dissenting voice.

REPRESENTATIVE TALLANT OF
Cascade is one of the brightest and
best men of the present session
Ever alert and active, true to his
constituency and able in every way
he looks upon every measure from
a standpoint covering the whole
state. In his views he is broad, lib.
eral, and generous. He is guilty Of
no intrigues or transactions hat
would be characterized as "small.'
But on the contrary he is awake to
evil actions and courageous to ex.
pose any such actions when they APP
pear. AS a legislator there are nc
strings on Mr.. Tallant and there are
not likely to be. In the house he
works hand in hand with our own
Mr.. Folsom in the Senate.

PRESS
The True Condition,

Billings Gazette: AS a result of
a newspaper controversy Editor Alb
bott, of the NEInART HERALD, and
Editor Rhone, of the Meagher Coun-
ty News, have announced in their
respective papers the intention of
settling the affair on the field OF
honor with Colts revolvers or Win
chesters. For fear, however, that
the declaration may cause theirfriends
apprehension we will state that the
belligerents are separated by a range
of mountains impossible at this sea-
son of the year.

lr is estimated by those posted
upon facts with regard to mine dev.

sidered high at that figure. Count.
ing those who would be engaged in
dead work additional the number
would easily be raised to $500
Neihart would then be strictly in the

REPLYING to the clever remarks
of the Butte Miner, we will state
that the apparent ruction between
the editors of certain rural weeklies
is only a chivalrous game of stag
in which they engage during their
leisure moments. They are all good
friends just the same. 1t will be
borne in mind that these weeklies
have only recently chosen two Unit
ed States senators and they must be
given time to descend from that high
duty to the simpler walks Of life.
Then, too, it is but natural under the
circumstances that each one feels his
political supremacy over all the
others and gives vent to the thought
by threatening to feel for his adver-
sary's fifth rib. The belligerents
aforesaid will all settle down to saw
ing wood in good season to unite
hands for the next political buster.

LEE MANTLE was seated in the
United States senate last Saturday.
While in Chicago he was interviewed
by the'local press of that city. In
his statement thus made he announc-
es what will be cheering to all part
les in Montana, that he will know
nothing but to fight for silver, and
that he will give it the fight of his
life. Mr.. Mantle is the equal in
ability of any of the array of senators
from the glorious west, and his late
years have so schooled him to the ms
and outs of political life, as to give
INN abundant preparation for any
emernency that might arise, or for
any business to which he may be as
signed. We predict for Mr., Mantle
a bright career; and for silver, great
benefit at his hand.

MAGGIOLI WAS GOOD.
But He DIDN'T Play as Well as
Tuesday Night.

49,
Tuesday Night.
While Maggioli played an excellent
straight rail game with Glow at
Foley's last night, and made the good
average Of 80 and a fraction, he failed
to keep his promise, that he would
play better than on the preceding
night, when he made an average of
so and better. He couldn't get the
worries to mind him as he wished, and
often they slipped away from him
just when the spectators had settled
themselves to watch a run of several
hundred. He was a little displeased
with the erratic actions OF the spheres,
which made his playing the more
cratic, and as result he
allowed Glow to run up a total of
102 instead OF shutting him off at ten,
or less. as he desired. At times the
balls broke beautifully and grouped
themselves with inviting precision as
if inspired by his touch, then like frac-
tious school boys ran away wildly,
and with provoking recklessness
sought positions most INSTANTANEOUS
to the impatient master. And by run
ming after them on countless oc-
casions with varying success, he grew
tired and didn't care whether he kept
school or not. He held a good short
session in the last three innings when
he scored SO, III and 1885, He ran game
in seventeen innings. His total for the
three games with Glow was 1880 and
CLOVIS total was 302. This is probably
more than Tom Foley Jr. will make
in his three games beginning tonight,
not because Glow is a better player,
because he is not, but because Mag
gioli has the advantage of three days
practice at straight rail, whereas,
when he began to play Glow, he had
had no practice at all. So if Tom
should score a smaller total than
Glow, the reason will be apparent.

ORPHANS OF VETS.
Commissioner Makes Important
Decision Regarding Pension
Rights.

commissioner Makes ImpOrfnpf
Decision Regarding Pension
Rights. -,
WASHINGTON. April IA decision
has been rendered by the secretary,
Of the interior INVOLVING right to pen-s
sion on claims filed by persons after
attaining their sixteenth year, for or
on account of whom no claims had
been made during the period of their
reasonable minority as children of a
soldier, who had died from causes
originating in the service and the line
of duty. This decision is of the
greatest Importance, involving a great,
number of pending or rejected cIaimst
and is based on a construction given
to the previso of limitation Of an act
of March 8, 1879, in which it is said
in substance, provided that pensions
shall commence from the date of am
pl1catlon unless the appIica ton be
filed prior to the first day. of July, 1880:
but that its limitation shall not apply
to claims by or in behalf of insane per-
sons and children under sixteen years
of age. The secretary in his decision
holds that the clause "children under
sixteen years of age" is descriptive of
class of claims the title to which
accrues to the claimant by reason of
being unoer the age of sixteen, at the
death OF the father from causes origi-
mating IN the service and line of duty:
and the limitation act. of March g
1879, and are not forfeited by neglect
to file the application during that
period OF pensionable minority.
