THE SCALE OF SAN JOSE.

From the far-off misty mountains of
the placid Bitter Root,
From where the crystal Rattlesnake
pours down thro' the chute"
From the saw-log laden Blackfoot,
from the Deer Lodge far away,
Comes the fame of dauntless Band
mann and the scale Of San Jose.
Let poets sing of warriors bold, on
Cuba's tropic strand,
Where Smarter, Schley and Sampson
drove the Spaniards from the land;
Of the doughty deeds of Dewey in
bright Manila bay.
But will sing of Bandmann and the
scale of San Jose.
Let England boast her Findlater, who
made the tribesmen run,
BY playing on the bagpipes when he
couldn't shoot his gun;
Let her boast the deeds Of Gordon In
the tea grounds of Cathay,
But Missoula has Her(r) Bandmann
and the scale Of San Jose.
In years to come the ranchmen alons
Missoula's shore,
AS he fills himself with applies and
shakes the, tree for more,
Will tell in thrilling accents, to his
grandchildren at play,
The tale of gallant Bandmann and the
scale of San Jose.

tempt to abolish the kangaroo court.
Without attempting to question the mo
itives of the Deer Lodge Official, we
would calling the gentleman's attention
to the fact that in dealing with the
kangaroo court he is monkeying with
a time-honored institution, and one that
has been rendered doubly conspicuous
by the trial of Captain Dreyfus at
Rennes. From time immemorial it has
been the custom of long-term prisoners
in county jails to select proper officials
and organize for the trial of subsequent
additions to their ranks, upon the seri-
Gus charge Of breaking into jail. These
trials invariably result in verdict OF
guilty, and IL the defendant Is not for
tunate enough to possess few dimes
or some tobacco for confiscation, Justice
is meted out with the business END OF
a piece of garden hose. During the long
and tiresome days when the Dreyrus
fiasco was dragging its weary length
before Colonel Jouaust's court at Rem
mes, the presiding justices in the kanga-
CARGO courts of Montanas county jails
scanned the columns of the press con-
scious that the sacredness of their In
stitution was being firmly established;
that the wisdom Of their rulings was
being INDICATED, and that the whole
world was being educated in the mys-
terious workings of the kangaroo court,
through the agency of Colonel Jou-
aust's tribunal. For Sheriff Conley to
step in now, just as the kangaroo court
is in the zenith Of its fame, and attempt
to abolish it, or at least to deprive it of
some of its power and influence, is q
shame and rightly calls for the notice
from the presiding justice Of the kan
CARGO court in Park county's Jail that
he will Immediately issue an injunction
to restrain Mr.. Conley from proceeding
further in the matter"

A LONG CONFERENCE.
The Chinese Minister Discusses the Elk.
clIision Act.

Washington. Sept. 22.--The Chinese min
lister called at the state department to-
day and held long conference with Act
ing Secretary Hill respecting the admis-
sion into the Philippinessof some Chinese.
The case is an exceptional one and it is
said the general question of the validity
and propriety of General Otis extension
of the Chinese exclusion laws to the Phil
ippines was not an issue in the confer
ence.
Senator Davis, chairman Of the commit
tee on foreign relations, happened to call
at the time and was a participant in the
discussion, giving the department the
benefit of his views of the attitude that
would be assumed by the committee. and
perhaps, by congress respecting such
questions as that presented. There are
some indications that the adoption of a
more elastic policy in the matter of Chi
nese exclusion will be suggested to Gen.
eral Otis. but nothing has yet been done
in that direction.
