cunning hand of Clark booster be
tween the lines
According to a Boston paper w. A
Clark has proposition from the
Amalgamated company: End this
Montana warfare and we will buy
your United Verde mine. We will
give you $50 zoe, 900 for it - one-halt
to be in cash and the other half in
Amalgamated stock; you to devote
your time in the future to that com
pany, taking the position of presi
dent. The Boston paper asserts
that Mr.. Clark accepted the PROPOSE
ton and that, on the perfection of de-
tails and the passing of final papers,
formal announcement will be made"
Whether Mr. Clarks pays for these
reproductions OF the story of his
mythical greatness, as he doubtless
does for the original canarf, is net
known. He is certainly inilicting
needless torture upon his supporters
in montana by advertising his readi-
less to be exactly what he condemned
when he made the rounds Of the state
shopping for votes.

The Same Here.

From the Billings Gazette:
To the layman the construction Oc'
casionaly put upon the provisions OF
the law are so at variance with what
the ordinary mind gives them that
very often he finds himself unable to
grasp the nice differentials that the
legal mind is capable or applying in
cases where the reason therefore
does not seem to exist. Thus is in
an election for choice of public Of
ficers the one receiving the highest
vote is declared to be elected and
everybody abides by the result, eX,
cept in cases of APPARENT or well known
fraud. But not so when the matter
of voting public and needed improve
ments is involved. Here the Ordin.
airy rule of majorities and plurali-
! ties, according to some gentlemen of
authority, does not hold good. Just
now Yellowstone county finds itself
involved in this law of difference, as
it may be termed.
| AT the last election the proposition
of buying site and building court
house and Jail was submitted to the
voters of the county. On the face
of the returns the proposition pre-
vailed, and by handsome majority.
OF the actual vote on the question
to build the affirmative was in the
proportion of three to one. Ordinar-
lily this would seem to settle the
question, but under a ruling of the
former attorney general it is far from
settled. He holds that all ballots
must be counted and applied to the
result, the blanks as well as those
giving the manifest intent of the vot.
err. His construction of the law is
that every ballot is either for or
against the question and holds that
an absolute majority of the entire
vote of the county must be cast in
favor of the proposition before the
same can be carried into effect. TAX
ing this form of reasoning as the
basis of his opinion, he rules that the
blank ballots must be counted as be.
ing against the proposition. Thus,
while the preponderance of prefer.

kaskaskia Vanishing.

The last remaining VeStige of what
remained of Kaskaskia, once CAPT
tai of this state and the metropolis
OF the west, will have disappeared in
few weeks, as there is only few
hundred feet Of the corporate limits
OF the old town left, and at the rate
the Mississippi is caving it in that will
all be washed away, says the Chicago
lnter-Ocean. Since the Mississippi
cut through the peninsula above the
old town in 1882, and formed a juno
ton with the Kaskaskia, or Okaw
river, eight miles above the place
where it originally emptied into the
Mississippi, the waters have been
washing away the land upon which
the town stood.
The residence of Governor Bond,
the first governor of the state of Ill
inOis, was washed into the river three
years ago, and all the buildings, with
their quaint, old-fashioned architec-
ture, have, one by one followed in
the wake, until now a few ruins over
hanging the brink of the river are all
that remains Of what was once a city
of $4,000 inhabitants, the first capital
of territory and later of a state.
The church of Kaskaskia was torn
down and removed several years ago,
and last fall the ground on which it
stood was washed into the river. The
old graveyards, three in number, con-
tanned thousands of Kaskaskias dead,
but great many of them were disin-
tered and removed to p new GENE
terry on the bluffs opposite the old
town, through the efforts of ex-Sena-
tor Rickett who introduced a bill for
that purpose in the state legislature.
Those now rest where the relentless
waters cannot reach them, but many
were left behind and washed out by
the river.
The end of Kaskaskia closes an
epoch in the history of the west, for,
with its disappearance, the most i'm
pOrtant landmarks of French colonial
ton in the middle west will have dis
appeared.

ence expressed by the marked bal
lots were for buying site and con
structing the court house, yet a ma
jority OF all the voters of the county
did not so express themselves and ac
cording to his opinion the question
was defeated.
This opinion of Mr.. Haskell, the at
tOrney general referred to, is shared
by Judge Loud who, it will be re-
[membered, decided that way in the
case of bridge it was sought to build
in this county some time ago.
While the Gazette does not pretend
to he an authority on law, and by
it's very confession of ignorance prob
ably places itself in a position where
it should not express an opinion, still
it cannot see why the difference
should be made in the case of an in
dividual and proposition. In COM
mon with the majority of the people
of the county it desires to see court
house built. The necessity of such an
institution all admit. To the Gazette's
way of thinking the only effective
way 20 obtain a decision that is fianal
and binding and which will relieve
the county commissioners from their
present condition of doubt and un-
certainty lies in the direction of the
courts. Mandamus proceedings
should be instituted against the board
to compel it to comply with the ex-
pressed wish of the majority of those
who voted at the last election. While
the district court, in view of the de-
cisiOn already referred to, might re-
fuse to issue the writ, the matter
could be taken to the supreme court
for final ADJUDICATION and settled for
once and all. The question has never
been passed upon by that body and
until it is, it will always be in doubt
and the same annoying condition that
now exists will continue. Let some
of those who voted for the propo-
stiOn take steps in the direction adj
vised and speedily as possible settle
whether the recent election settled the
matter of court house or whether
it must be voted upon again.

from the Anaconda Standards:
For the past week the country has
been sown down with notices of W.
A. Clark's Importance in the finan-

sent out by Boston financial paper
a short time ago that Clark had been

Arizona was sold to this company.

The information from the county
treasurer's office is to the effect that
this year there is gratifying differ
ence in the method some people have
had in the payment of their taxes.
Last year and for some years pre-
vious many of the farmers, particu-
larly, had their taxes paid by the
banks and mercantile houses, indicat-
ing a shortage of ready money. This
year the same people, for the great
err part, paid their own taxes. The
change is a matter for congratulatiOn
and indicates a prosperous condition.
The crops have been good and the
means of obtaining ready money for
them have apparently been more num-
erous than in former years. Whether
it is Mckinley prosperity or natural
prosperity does not make any parti-

The general character of the pro-

Here is toast proposed in the last

1893: The glorious Fourth Of July,
1776! May it be remembered and COM

More than hundred years 10

the posterity of that handful of patriots
who fought to perpetuate freedom on

of many more who never knew of
America, the United States or the Rev
dictionary war.
At the time this toast was drunk by
the patriotic society at which it was
offered General Washington was alive
and well, for it was but five months
before he died, and the universal
wish throughout the country was that
his declining years might be sweetened
by the domestic tranquility of Mount

any of those associated with him ever

brated beyond the bounds of CONT
