A Rlilroad Rumor.

Bozeman Chronicle: p. II. Seaman,
travelling agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad, was in the
city last week. He came ostensibly to
settle up with the local railroad agent
and to see that his road is not getting
the double cross. A newspaper with
less discernment and rustic about IL,
would have given him a two-line per-
sonal notice, and let IL go at that.
But the Chronicle, being a wide
awake and up-to-date sheet (subscrip-
ton price 81. so per year. If paid in adj
vance,, sees a more flaming signifi-
canoe in Mr.. Scanlan's visit than is
generally acknowledged.
We tried, by our persuasive arts and
Establishments. and by the further aid
of q Dutch cocktail, to get Mr.. Seaman
to open up and tell us what was near
est to his heart, but with that char
acteristic reticence so pronounced with
all railroad men, especially when there
has just been a lot of sheep killed by
the snow pillow, he was unresponsive
and failed to vibrate and twitter under
our mastery and delicate touch. More
beer might have been fetched him, but
we give it out straight that we are
not the treasurer of the chamber Of
commerce and cannot be expected to
play chords requiring the further ex-
tension of our score.
However, enough was learned from
Mr.. Seaman to make us sure that the
Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul has fe-
verish designs upon Bozeman-this
statement in no way reflects disparag-
ingly upon the necktie Mr.. Seaman is
wearing on this trip.
In fact il would take but a word TO
start this flame into a bright blaze.
And we think we betray no confidence
when we say that the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul, If a sufficient land
grant and bonus were raised would
build a branch direct from ST. Paul to
Bozeman.

Police nni pnliiIcs.

Great Falls Tribune: In Butte the
authorities have formulated a set Of
regulations for the government of the
police force that are nearly as long as
the codes. They start out with re-
cital of the qualifications TO be pos
sessed for membership and then fol-
lows a long list of what shall and what
shall not be done by the officers. Gu
riously, there is glaring and fatal
omission. Nowhere in the document
appears a guarantee that the tenure
of Office is dependent upon good con-
duct and attention to duty. This Is
simply a notice that, no matter how
efficient he may prove. an officer is liza
BILE to be dismissed with a change of
administration, that unless ne is a poll
tician and has a pull he has no claims
that are entitled to respect. So long as
this system prevails, neither the Butte
nor and other force can come up to the
full requirements. A man cannot be a
politician and good policeman at the
same time and the sooner this is real
lied the sooner will there be an i'm
provement in Montana police depart
ments

Justice ia Bat e.

Big Timber Express: People famil-
lar with the administration Of justice
in Butte will not be deceived by this
ebullition into the belief that the muir
derers are to be punished. A little
over year ago a large number of fire
men and others were killed or wounded
by an explosion which was a result OF
a violation Of the law relating to the
storing of explosives. The cries for
vengeance were loud and long They
eliminated in civil suits for damages,
brought by relatives of the victims,
which resulted in judgments that can
not be collected. About the only room
for speculation in the present instance
is as to the length Of time II will be
before the murder of officer Parlin will
be forgotten.

This is the story OF a champagne

displayed a knife. which Hull at once

seriously assured him was designed TO

Hull accordingly accepted IL. and on

Delegitrs to st. Louis.

Great Falls Tribune: As democrats,
the personnel of the Montana repubH-
can delegation at the st. Louis conven-
ton does not concern The Tribune, and
It may be considered impertinent in Of
fering suggestion on the subject. In
spite Of political differences, however,
II takes the opportunity of comending
the proposition of d. J. Tallant of this
city that Senators Mantle and Carter
and Representative Hartman be chosen.
This will be in accordance with the fit
ness of things. Each of the three have
now a national reputation, they have,
in their official capacity, fully repre-
scented the sentiment of the state on
the financial question, and If sent to
st. Louis can surely attract more at
teption than citizens of the state who
are not so well known. We have no
idea that the republican convention
will adopt a platform at all favorable
to free coinage, but the subject will re-
ceive considerable attention there. and
the agitation will have a tendency TO
aid the cause. 1t will be agreed that
the gentlemen have already received
high honors at the hands of their party
and that others should have a chance,
as none but staunch silver men would
be sent from Montana. This is true,
yet IL will be conceded that the sena-
tors and representative can. from the
very nature of things, accomplish more
good than can gentlemen in private
life, no matter what ability or merit
they may possess. At this juncture
personal feeling ought to be subordi-
mated to the public good, and If this be
done by our republican friends the con-
gressional delegation will go to Chi
cago. The case is exceptional and a
departure from the ordinary rule is not
only justifiable, IL is demanded.

Small Farmers.

good and successful small farmer than
an unthrifty and unsuccessful largo
farmer. We often see business men

they made little money than they
spread Out, buy larger stock OF goods
partly OF. chiefly on credit. and Indulge
In great expectations which fail Of
realization. Many man can man

of his depth. when he tries to
conduct larger one. Or, IL. the fiuc-
t,tations OF trade, the times arc not so
