RUBBISH IN THE STREETs.-The
street cleaners and the overseer of the
Chain Gang are endesvoring to clear
the streets of broken glass and bale
wire, which are such menaces to bl.
cyclists, and it is suggested that people
refrain from casting such things in pub
lie thoroughfares. 1t is contrary to
law, and the authorities are determined
to make examples of all caught violat-
iDg it, The casting of rubbish of any
sort into streets is unlawful, but when
broken bottles and chinaware are thus
disposed they prove dangerous to bare
footed children and horses and rulnous
to bicycles. The well-disposed. Of
course, do not require this injunction.

From the Great Falls Tribune
When Grover Cleveland issued his
Venezuelan message there were not a
few who expressed the opinion that ii
was written for political effect. The
large majority, however agreed that il
was hot stuff" and the short time
that has interviewed has demonstrated
that il served a good purpose, even
though il did not advance the cause or
popularity of its author. As a sensation
il was a success, the more 50 because
il was unexpected.
Now comes John L. Richards, gov
ernor Of Montana, with a proclamation
addressed. not to the people. but TO
Secretary Of State Olney. 1t, too, is
hot stuff and somewhat unexpected
and has created considerable talk
The subject matter of the document is
the removal of the Cree Indians. 1t ap-
pears that the governor received a let
ter from the secretary of state in which
the latter says: IF the dominion gov
eminent agrees to take back its wards
the state would he expected to remove
them at once" This made the governor
hot under the collar and before he was
cooled off he sat down and penncd
few lines to the secretary. He told
him the Crees were intruders and nuis-
anCeS, that Canada should be cOmpcIl-
ed 10 herd them and take them home,
Iudl TX was an international question
and if they had to be dcported at the
expense of any one on this side the
duty devolVcd upon the federal not the
state authorities. Then he wound up.
As one of the states i'm the union. en-
titled To whatever protection may he

department take necessary steps to re-
move the Cree Indians. regardless of

Bully for the governor, No matter
what his motive his vigor Is to be COM

language Of diplomacy. but il cannot
be mis- unde rsitDOd. As Cleveland with
his message made Salisbury get orr
