ROW IN MONTANA.

The Montana senatorial election easily
outranks all the others of the presen,
year, on account of its interesting fea-
lures. There is a variety of incidents
that breaks the dull monotony of the
deadlock. The fight has Drought into
prominence at least one character, and
that is one Senator Whiteside. He is an
adherent of Marcus DAILY, who is not
openly seeking the toga for himself, but
is trying to prevent the election of his
enemy, Clark: Whiteside, according to
his own story, set trap for Clark, by
offering to deliver his own and several
other votes for sufficient valuable con-
sideration. The bargain was struck and
$50, ,OOJ was given to Whiteside. This
sum he offered in evidence.
The story had damaging effect on
Clark's campaign for the first day or
two, after it was made public. Then the
Montana mind saw something improb-
able about the narrative and members
began to flock to relief Of the maligned
Clark. Such is the Clark side If it,
Clark's vote rose rapidly from half a
dozen to forty, within eight Of enough
to elect, and he has since been elected.
The DAILY people charge that the Clark
votes were all bought.
Whiteside has been unseated and his

Mr.. Restameyer's bill, he will experience
considerable opposition from members
from other counties. The general feel
ing is against any law that permits the
easy removal of county seats. Very few
counties have their county towns in the
c,nter, such locations are exceptional.
The majorit of the members don't want
any changes in their county. To over
come the latter objection Traill county
tried for several sessions to frame law
that would bea general" and not a
Especial" law and still only apply to con-
ditions in Traill county. But with legis-
latures that seemed quite willing to give
Traill county a chance to change pro-
vided the law did not affect the other
counties, no law of several passed would
stand the test of the courts, and we
doubt if Mr.. Restameyer will be able to
do any better. He will find it itimpossible
to make general statute that will fit
Pembina county only, and just as soon
as his bill interferes with the statu quo
in other counties he will find strong op-
position from the count affected.

PRIMARY LAWS.

Several bills are in committee on prim.
ary voting. 1t is hardly worth while al
this stage to discuss the particular points
OF the proposed bills even if they were
known, but as we remarked several
months ago, it is an incongruity to base
a strict election law like that on our
statutes. on caucus and convention votes
and nominations which have no legal
status, and which are defined and rec
ognized mostly by inference.
Caucuses and conventions should be
made legal bodies. They should be
clearly defined and their rights and the
rights of the participants made perfectly
plain. Punishments should be provided
for persons who illegally participate in
or who disturb such meetings, and pro-
vision should be made for preserving
and filing the minutes and votes. But
on the other hand our legislators should
remember, that by far the largest and
best classes of our citizens are very often
Indifferent to their duties as voters, and
fail to exercise their privileges at the
primaries even under the present loose
and careless methods. And too much
red tape or legal restriction won't bring
them out any better. AS matter OF
fact, unless there happens to be a local
fight on hand, every person who has
taken an interest in politics, knows how
difficult it is to get voters out to caucus
es, even by personal suasion; and in the
farming districts, where distance and
other things intervene, it often occurs
that no caucus is held at all. Hence we
say while caucuses and conventions
ought to have definite legal status, yet
we must be careful how we build a fence
around what is now SO often an empty
house.

TEMPERANCE COMMISSIONERS.

We don't believe in creating the pro-
posed Office eoftemperance commissioner.
In any county where the people want
prohibition, they will elect states at
torney and sheriff who will enforce pro-
hibition and prohibition will prohibit.
In any county that don't want prohi-
bition all tie temperance commissioners
and deputies possible can't enforce the
law. The enforcement of the law lies
primarily with the people. The attorney
and the sheriff will follow public senti-
ment on this question. The death knell
of blind pigs was sounded in this county
when the first jury, near.y half of whom
were moderate drinkers, gave the ver-
dict guilty" in such case on ordinary
common sense evidence.
We heard jury, four or 6veyears ago
in an adjoining county, give verdict of
mot guilty" after hearing five or six re-
putable witnesses swear that they had
bought Intoxicating liquor of the accus-
ed, that they knew it to be Intoxicating,
that they drank it as beverage; while
the only evidence to the contrary was
given by the defendant who said he sold
it as medicine. The states attorney had
done his duty as we'll as a state commits.
sioner could have done it, the sheriff had
been as faithful as the temperance COM
missioner's deputy could be, and yet the
people by their verdict refused to en-.
force the prohibition law-and this was
the third trial of the same man for the
offence. We might add, public opinion
has changed somewhat in the county re-
ferred to, and jurors now convict blind
piggers--but they Still have drug stores
they say.
Out in western "cow" county, the
states attorney did his duty, the sheriff
did his duty, large amount of bottled
liquor was seized and placed on the
court room table at the trial. The tenn.

DRAINAGE.

One of the chief measures to come up
is the amendment to the revised codes
relating to the establishment, constluc-
ton and maintenance oi drains" 1t was
introduced by. Representative Chacy
of Cass county and received its third
reading in the house Saturday. The
bill is of general interest 10 the state, as
it involves the legality Of many thous-
ands of dollars worth OF warrants now in
the hands of farmers and contractors.
The hitch in the old bill was in regard to
the manner Of posting til notices. Rep
resentative Woibert OF Cass, in speaking
10 me of the drainage bill v, sterd.y said:
'Under the old law the drainage board
appointed for Cass county posted the no.
t ces wrong, and neglected to keep min
utes of their meetings as required by
law. Legal advice was employed to
fight the bill. When taken into court
Judge Pollock issued all injunction based
on the irregularities of the drainage
board. This left between $l5,vCO and
5000 0 worth of warrants in Cass county
unpaid. They had been issued to farm
ers who sublet them to contractors.
Part were sold and used as collateral.
As soon as the warrants were declared
invalid it was impossible to complete
any drainage begun. Bridges were nee
essary. They we're not put in, and in
many cases farmers were obliged to drive
miles out of their way in order to get
around uncompleted drains OH their own
lands. In order to complete the work
begun, an amendment of the bill was
necessary. By the provisions of the new
bill the old warrants can in no case ex.
ceed the value of the old ones already
issued, but may be less" Grant Hager,
of Pembina county, told me there were
some SIS, 700 worth of unpaid warrants
outstanding in that county, and Crane
Forks and Walsh counties are similarl,
affected. The bill is expected to pas.
