In recent interview ex-senator Lee
Mantle is credited with making the
following stase4e4t:
"In the west there will be no more al
lance of silver republicans with demo-
Gratis. The help that was given by the
silver republicans in past campaigns will
not be forthcoming and all talk of fusion
in the future is idle. The Democrats
welcomed the silver republicans as allies
in close states, but in states where they
secured the ascendancy repudiated them
in the most contemptuous manner. The
men who RECEIVED this treatment are not
likely to put themselves imposition to ex-
perience it again, aad whatever the
democrats hope to accomplish in states
like Montana and Utah, they will have
to achieve it without the aid of any
other party"

Weekly Crop Report.

Helena, Montana, May Both, 1885,
The weather during the past week has
been most favorable for the spring work.
In general it has been the best growing
week of the season. The temperature
has been below the normal; occasional
high temperatures for the season have
been reported, and freezing temperatures
have occurred in Choteau and Broad
water counties. Rain has fallen in all
sections of the state. A heavy rain was
reported from Cascade county on the
18th. In Teton, Valley and Lewis and
Clarke counties thunder storms are re-
ported. Snow is still falling on the
mountains in Madison county, and hail
has also fallen on the 26th at Fort
Benton. Blowing was delayed in Meag
her county on account of the too wet
condition of the ground; seeding will be
thus extended into June in that locality.
In most portions of the state the grain is
abo4t all ir and gardens are planted. In
Rayilli county the prospect for the large
fruit is nqt encouraging, while the small
fruits are in better condition. Ranges
are improving rapidly, and stock is look
ing better. Lambing is about over and
the losses in lambs and sheep due to the
cool rainy weather are high. The round
up OF horses has commenced 2 p ip Dawson

THE SIMONs VERDICT.

The verdict in the Sinons case was re-
ceived with much aisapproval by the
respectable citizens of Teton county and
the jurors on the case are criticized bv
the same in no complimentary language
for their unjust and unreasonable YER.
dict. In this case either q wilful. mali.
cious and cold -blooded murder was com.
mitted, and the verdict should have been
returned either in the first or second
degree, or Charles Simons, in taking the
life OF Charles II. Buckley, acted in self
defense and was thereby justified in SO
doing A compromise verdict such as
was rendered in this case can not be held
as an excuse by the few honest jurors
who wanted to see partial justice done.
The lifes blood Of Charles H. Buckley
calls loudly for justice and to have
that cry go unheeded because there are
IN Teton county men who will=perjure
themselves and act as jurors and wit
nesses in cases such as this is a blot on
the fair name of this commonwealth and
is a adaFgeEeus menance to the life of
every law abiding inhabitant of this sec,
ton. Let us enforce the law or tear down
ouF 50 called temples of Justice. Destroy
our laws, and let cut throats and thugs
run rampant and red handed through our
midst, and trample on the sacred rights
Of honest men.
In our opinion perjury was committed
in this case, not only by the witnesses,
but by one or two parties in the jury
box. The jury had sworn to try the case
on the evidence produced, but it has
been strongly hinted that long before
the case was brought t9 trial some had
told friends that if chosen as jurors they
would stay there foreyer before they
would bring in any verdict, except one
Of acquittal.
In our opinion some of the witnesses
Tor the defense periured them
selves. Not only this, but some of the
states witnesses gave in their testimony
while in the whole substantially as
yiven at the coroner's inquest and the ,
examination-but in some
minor points wholly different.
But be that as it may, either murder q
lad been committed or murder had not 1
'een committed. If Simons wilfully \
ook the life Of Buckley he should have q
cen hung. If not, and acted only in SELF C
efense, he has been sentenced to one a
ear longer in the penitentiary than he 1
hould be made to serve. In the nature I
.h1iiiglgs there sasAd-an4 among A
onest men there can not be-a compro- '
lise. The Acantha has no personal j
'eling in this matter. but we believe we
