les, and the highway to future great
ness Is oftentimes beset by pitfalls
and distractions that are calculated
to upset the equanimity Of any man
to say nothing of n who Is Jour
neying toward the state capital to
make his maiden appearance in pub
lie life. Last Wednesday morning
n of u newly elected representa-
tives, Hon. Alex. Lehman, accom-
panied by his mother, departed from
Lcwistown by private conveyance
for the railroad at Harlow, on route
to Helena. Mr.. Lehman had pro-
ceeded but n few miles from town
when his team, In which the "cayuse"
largely predominatcd, began to evince
decided objections To going any fur
thur from the land Of their first graz
ing, emphasizing these objections by
"A sudden stop and n positive refusal
to continue. BY dint OF much per.
suasion and profanity and u liberal
application OF the whip they were in
duced to proceed Il mile or two fur
ther, when the first performance was
repeated, the objection being again
oyerruled by the same aiorcmen-
toned methods.
But these little episodes were only
the prelude To the trouble to follow.
When Beaver Creek was reached n
yearning for home again seized upon
those cayuses. and as II 10y mutual
agreement there they stopped. Per-
suasion had no effect, profanity
availed nothing and the strong arm
of wrath was pOwcTlrss to overcome
the stubborn resolve Of those UNI
dauntcd buzzard heads. The legisla.
tive future ofuur youthful representa-
tive had assumed anything but IA
r0seate hue, and the wintry blasts OF
January whistling down Beaver
Creek valley were n forcihlc reminder
that II he was going to get To Ubet
that night he'dbetter keep a-moving.
After n battle by rounds lasting an
hOurormorc, with hedecision about
to be given the cayuses, the happy
thought came to Alex that il he would
turn their heads homeward IL might
be al inducemcnt to the crow-baits
To go. He did this, and the effect was
electrical. Taking the bits in their
teeth those NANCY descendants Of
Plegan sires and Crow dams began
the return at apace that would have
made Joe Patchen dizzy, and someof
his friends claim that Alex. had an
other sight OF Lewistown before he
was able to check them. Fortune
had notentirely deserted him though,
for sometime during the day n friend
on his way to TIBET came along and
was kind enough to take Mrs. Leh-
man with him. thus saving her from
needless exposure to the cold. But
Alex. was left to work his passage
through, which he did, finally reach
ing Tibet about 8 p. m.
We imagine that II some legislator
will introduce u bill In the house max
Ing 1t a misdemeanor for anyone to

Col. sam Gordon Of the Yellowstone
Journal has been taking n few falls out
of the Helena Herald recently and the
last issue contained the following,
which every true Republican in the
state will heartily endorse:
The Herald has no desire to designate
the future leaders of the Republican
party.-Ilelcna Herald.
Certainly not. The Herald would
very much prefer to see the Republican
party without leaders; Il d~isorganizcd
mob, drifting hither and thithcr with.
out definite purpose and controlled for
the time being by any 4 cullotte who
might get upon a garbage barrel at the
street corner and by infammutory
speech induce the wrecking of what
had been accomplished in the way of
organization during years of patient
and honest effort. Hell knows no
fury like n woman scorned,' neither
does it know any more determined or
bloodthirsty foe than the traitor whose
treason becomes known, but is still at
large. free TO pursue the bent of his
wretched purpose. Cast out from as
ISOLATION and communion with decent
Republicans, despised of Democrats rs
a thing that has been hired for n foul
purpose, doomed to the companionship
of malcontents and political discards,
the once respectable Herald endures
this fate and with noisy buster tries TO
make the world believe it enjoys it.
At first, believing that 1t had made a
magnificent trade, but as the days and
weeks wear on and the task grows
heavier and more revolving, the pur-
chase price shrinks in volume and the
impotent malevolence Of the giant Des-
pair tinctures and shades every act.
No; the Herald has no desire TO desig-
nate future leaders of the Republican
party. Its hope and prayer is that
there may be no leaders and no party.
