We sing the praises of those who

and emolument and erect monu-

temporary recognition and then for

of the Big Four was in the cab of an

year-old boy in the middle of the

paraylyzed with fear and could not
move. It was impossible to stop the
engine in time. Miller ran out on
the footboard. got down on the pilot
and lifted the child from the track

far more so than that of Funston who

part of it is the increase SO notable
as in Flathead county, unless, per-
haps, it be Granite county, where
the increase over last year amounts
to over million dollars. Deer
Lodge and Silver Bow counties also
show very material increase, due,
of course, almost wholly to mining
enterprises. Except for these three
Flathead shows the largest increase
so far as the returns have come in.
And the increase here is almost
wholly the result of increased popu-
lation-capital and property that has
been brought in during the year and
in increased real estate values. It
has been a general advance all along
the line. Mining in this county is
represented by an assessment of
only 81, $40 on mining claims, while
other real estate and improvements
form by far the greater part of the
assessable property. It is doubtful if
any other county in the state, outside
of those whose chief industry is min
ing, will be able to show the progress
which Flathead has shown, through
the increase in assessed valuations,
during the past year.

SATURDAY, JULY Ii, 1901.

The appellate division of the SUI
preme court of New York state has
rendered most important decision
regarding the limitations upon the
cross-examination of witnesses. The
court declares that parties before the
court as witnesses have some rights
which courts are bound to respect,
and that under the guise of cross-ex-
animation attacks cannot be made
upon ones private life. It is to be
hoped that this ruling will speedily
be accepted by courts generally
Often innocent witnesses who have
absolutely no interest in the cause
upon trial are compelled to disclose
matters respecting their private
lives, under the guise of cross-exam-
ination, which in no way affects the
merits of the controversy. Such
questions usually do not further the
ends of justice. On the contrary they
make witnesses who have no desire
but to tell the truth, dread the ordeal
OF the witness stand through fear of
the questions of a brow beating law
yer whose interest it is to convey to
the jury the impression that the wit
ness is a moral leper in his private
life, and unworthy of belief on the
witness stand. A favorite practice
of many lawyers unable to otherwise
shake the testimony of an opposing
witness, is to at least compel him to
deny that he is blackleg, liar, thief
and all round tough. AS matter of
justice such questions should not be
permitted, and it will be matter for
congratulation if the decision of the
New York court marks the COM
mencement of reform in that direc-
ton.
