LAWS AND CORRUPTION

Remarking upon the tendecy toward the regulation of every phase of human conduct by law recent speak CT quoted an aphorism of ccero Tn the most corrupt nation you have the most laws"
 There probably has never been in all history peo, ole burdened with so many laws exist in the United States today Whether we have the most currupt nation is matter of opinion, but heaven knows it is bad
 Still the refo1mers, such the Baptists in their convention of yesterday camor for more laws Where it will all end no forte Every new law for the regulation of this and that adds to the battaons of of fice-holders already feeding at the public crib
 Thoughtful men are beginning to realize the serious ness of the situation Only by aroused public sent 1ent can we hope to stop the orgy of lawmakng and makes liberty mockery.

mouth of the Yellowstone river; fol-
lowed the north side of the Missouri
river to Fort Hawley, a trading post
on the Missouri 20 miles above the
mouth of the Musselshell. Here it
crossed the Missouri river, coming
through near Black Butte north of the
Judith mountains, between the Judith
river and the Moccasin mountains, di-
rect to Judith Gap, up the Musselshell
and across Smith river to Diamond
City. Here it connected with the stage
line to Helena. This stage line was al
ways considered a huge joke by the
miners at Diamond City and was dis
continued March 80, 1868.
A stage coach contract was let over
this same route in 1869 for a period of
three years, but the contract was never
fulfilled.
Henry Mcdonald, whose name is
mentioned quite often in connection
with the pony express as one of its rid
ers, was quite prominent in the terri
tory as an Indian fighter, hunter and

May /, he had received only one

copy.
He says that he saw tons of mail
piled up and apparently abandoned,
with mail pouches streWn in the mud
along the stage routes. The loss Of mail
was not due to Indian depredations
alone, though the Indians did delight
in ripping open sacks and watching
the wind whirl the contents across the
prairies. 1t vas due, in his opinion, to
the able collaboration of the Wells
Fargo Express company. They held a
ST 900 900 contract to carry the United
States mail; but they also accepted
valuable papers, for a consideration,
on their own responsibility, and
charged a humping price for the serv-
ice. They had financial incentive to
make their service sure, and govern
ment service problematic. And they did.
Mail intrusted to their strOngboxes
got into Salt Lake before mail of the
same date, under government charge,
got into Denver. BY paying required
postage and a fee treble that amount
as we'll, business men could insure the
prompt and safe arrival Of their mail
in the Wells Fargo strongboxes, ac-
cording to Mcclure; and in spite of
the exorbitant cost, half the mail was
being carried that way.
Mcclure seems to have been an i'm
partial observer, and what he says is
borne out by other commentators,
touching the failure of the Pony Elk
press of 1867. In the spring of that
year a contract was let for a tri-week-
ly mail service from ST. Paul, MINI,
to Helena. The route determined on
was selected with armchair competence
at Washington, and did save 600 miles
over the overland route from Ogden
north to Helena. But the officials had
obviously considered only distances and
maps, leaving out human nature and
Indian antipathies. To the inevitable
carelessness of the riders was added
the resentment of hostile tribes along
the newly established route. This north
ern pony express started at Fort Aber-
crombie, on the Minnesota Dakota
line south of Fargo, thence to Fort
Ransom, so or 60 miles west on the
Cheyenne river; to Fort Union at the

haps the least ceremonious Of any ses-
sion. Agreement having been reached
on the 60th day, the last remaining
Measure given formal approval the
next morning, a bare quorum Of men,
bers remained to give legal sanction
to the formality of witnessing the pre-
siding officers attach their signatures
to the score or more bills that flooded
enrolling committees after their release
from the deadlock that characterized
the sessions last week.
Members Of the third house, lobby
lists, minor employees and state officials
had lost interest long before and only
one newspaper man was present to wit
ness the adjournment, sine die.

arrow and spear heads have been
picked up in the vicinity, and an oc-
casional annon ball plowed up.
Dave Rutchmann, n of the unlucky
riders who arrived with rifled mail
sacks, was able to continue his journey
to Helena, deliver the remnant of the
mail and tell his story to the Helena
Weekly Herald, where it appeared IN
the first issue of the newly established
paper, Nov. 7, 1867.
A. Z. Bradbury, agent for G. c.. Hunt.
ley at Fort Hawley, writes his employer
an amusingly human letter. Hunter
was the mail contractor for the North
ern route and criticism of his service
vas creeping into the newspapers. The
letter from Bradbury shows that all
agents had plenty to contend with. He
says, in part:
The Indians have been raising hell
and frightening all the mail riders here
so they dare not go outside the door.
Hearing of this and knowing that the
mail vas at Fort Hawley, / started olt
for the purpose of sending the boys
through with it, but they lad all left
here two days before my arrival. They
have done everything contrary to my
instructions, and 1 can say very little
in their favor. I did place some conf
dence in Charley, but he has proven
as worthless as any Of them. A number
of them have traded off your horses
Joe Hays has sold your Henry rifle.

ARSON CASE MAY
BE TRIED AGAIN
MISCONDUCT OF JURY ALLEGED
IN MOTION BY COUNSEL
FOR CONVICTED MAN

In the action of the state of Mon
tana against j. L. Skaw, Stewart
MconOchie, defendants attorney, has
made a motion for a new trial. Skaw
on Feb. n was found guilty of arson
in connection with the burning of the
Coffee Creek hotel, April 10, 1880, by
a jury in Judge E. J. Bakers depart
ment at Lewistown and subsequently
sentenced to 10 years in the state
penitentiary.
In his motion for a new trial the
defendants attorney states as a basis
for such a motion that substantial por-
tons of the trial were held in the alb
sence of the defendant. 1t is also al
legged that the jury received, out of
court, evidence other than that result
ing from a view of the property re-
ferred to in testimony in the action,
and received communications and pa
pers referring to the action, and for
this reason were guilty Of misconduct
by which a fair and due consideration
and trial of the defendant was pre-
vented.
Newly discovered evidence, discov-
cred after the rendering of the verdict
is also set out as one of the reasons
in the motion for a new trial. No time
for the hearing of the motion has been
set. c. E. Baker, county attorney, as
sisted by Paul Freeman of Great Falls

tBy GRACE STONE COATEs)

In 1867, A. X. Mcclure was stag
ing his 5000 miles through the Rocky
mountains, and sending back to the
New York Times his weekly trave-
lOgue. He was interested in all he saw,
and for the most part, interesting to
all who saw and heard him. One
man, to be sure, Over-genial with
liquor, stopped in front of the plat
form from which Mcclure was ad-
dressing an audience, and admon-
ished him cheerfully, DRY up, old
Blossom-top!'; but in the main Nc
Clure had no complaint to make on
his western reception. His great and
constant complaint was about mail
service. On June q he had received
two, only, of the 80 copies Of the
New York Daily Tribune normally
due since May 1; and of the semi
weekly New York Times, sent since
