Tim fortunate winner in the \est
Point examination is a Fergus county
boy. Good luck to him.
]r. the president is to. have a full in
vestigation of the census bureau it is
hdped that Montana will not be over
looked.
Tce, taxpayers of Helena are as gen
erous as any people on earth, but they
do not like to give up their money with
out some return.
Cox'rttuttl'rE your mite for the relief
of the Russian sufferers and thereby
assist in carrying out the spirit of the
governor's message.
WVE are Informed by the Seattle Tel
egraph that each alleged Montana sena
tor is a persona ingrata to the other.
Really, is it as rerious as all that?
Goon for the people of Meagher
county! They are making every possi
ble effort to do their share in the Helena
& Castle railroad enterprise, and they
will succeed.
THE INDEPENDESNT' having received
the contract for elate printing is now
the official paper of Montana as well as
the official paper for Lewis and Clarke
county.
TwE retirement of 0ion. John M.
Thurston as a candidate for the vice
presidency leaves the way open for Com
missioner Carter, if a western man is to
have that nomunatioun.
The best that the democratic national
convention can do for New York this year
is to bestow the vice-presidential nomina
tion upon her.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
As matters look now New York may
not have even that.
IT may be contidently expected that
the county attorney will umake the in
vestigation of school affairs very warm
for somebody when the matter is
brought up before the special grand
jury.
TsIE venire for a grand jury issued by
Judge Hunt contains the right names.
They are business men of known ability
and integrity. If the affairs of the
school board are investigated by these
men there will be an investigation. Do
not forget that.
IT is hoped that the farmers of this
state will generally respond to the re
quest of our World's fair managers for
the best agricultural exhibit that can be
secured. It is ,luite needless to say that
this should be the most important fea
ture of Montana's exhibit.
IT seems that at, last President Harri
son has reached the point of ordering an
investigation of the census department.
Hlie doubtless realizes that in the event
of his candidacy this year it will be nec
essary to show to the people his disap
proval of Commissioner Porter and his
methods.
IT is pleasant for Montanians to con
trast thie weather in this state with that
of Massachusetts, whetre t heavy snlow
storm has buried the people for the
time being, They should nmove to Mon
tana and enjoy the beauties of anrt ideal
winter olimate.
TtE city council's apIpropriation of
$430 for McNallys attortiney bill was
mtade because tihe kind-heartetd nler
men thought it would bte a hardship for
McNally himself to pay It, but it is to
te observed that the council was not
elected to expend thile public money in
this sort of charity.
Tl'lr-: is a hingering idoubt amongt the

really meant business when Ie w-rote
hIis letter of withdrawal to Chairman
Clarkson. 'iThere iare two reasonls for
believing that his retirement is linal:
first because his healthl is nut goodl, sec
oltd bectlts lt e is 5 shireewd politiclall
and sees lno chances of republican SIlcu
cess next fall. Thle latter reason is the
more potent of the twno.
PosrT.MArTER VA:, CoTT having favored
the nomination of luobeort T. Lincoln,
we may expect to hlear rumors of differ
enoes between thile presildent and the
postoilice department in New York .laty.
Ex-Postmaster iGeneral .James has also
endiorsed Mr. Lincoln, but he 11has no
hopes for otlicial preferment at tilhe
hands of the reouiblican party, for tilh
reason that ihe supported Mr. Cleveland
in the last oresidential election.
TtII itaxpayers in Nebraska paid Gov
lhaytr's salary for the last year lanti
under the rulings of the court are
obliged to lay the salary of (;ov. Boyl
for the stime length of time, though he
was not pernitted to serve that portior
of his term. On the other hand thepeo
pie of -Helena pay too salary of a oity
attorney and lawyer's bills besides,
though no law requiring thls double bx- ,tt
'penditure has yet been dieooverod.
Tatcnna is a ditfference of opinion as to di,
whether Mr. Blaine's withdrawal was wi
final, The New York I resa is doubtlee 11i,
'right in saying: "Mr. Blaine's lotteriise ot
as explicit as it is brief.' It is more pos- lie
itive evon than the famous Florence let. 0u
tor. No ihisuuderstanding of Mr. 5
Blaine's terms is possible." vii
Yvs'r9lau.t we read of a charactoristic tli
moonshine tragedy in Alabamau. Bo- in
cause it certain witness appeared in ot
court against a band of moonshiners, si
they surrounded his home and. o.ened be
fire, killing his wife and little son. Such ll
cowardly assassinations have been fre- .h
quent in the south and will continue to pl
occur until the United States govern. o0
meontutseau a force suflicient to make an .n
Send of this moonshine business forever. as
Timue Salt Lake Tribune lsquite wrong n
in saying that the democratic party r a- s
pudiated Samuel J. Tilden in 1880. Mr.
Tilden declined the nomination, whichl ts
he could have had, in a letter which was on
read before the convention. Our con- to
temporary is also wrong in saying that d
for twenty years Mr. Tilden was a big g l
chief in 'lammany and during that per- ,b
iod endorsed the corruption practiced a1
by that organization. Mr. Tilden broke "I,
away from Tammany hall, broke up the
canal ring of New York state, broke up a
the Tweed gang, and followed Tweed ily
until he was landed in the penitentiary. W'
As a result he was elected governor of lel
Now York state by 56,000 majority, the
largest ever given to a candidate in that t
state except Cleveland. When the in
Tribune again revives memories it 0C
should hold to facts. Cc
DOWVN WITH THE SLAVERS.
Aiter a protracted delay, the senate
of the United States has ratified the
slave trade and Congo commerce trea
ties. It was well done. That compar
atively unimportant considerations of co
dignity should have barred the broad fo
path of our duty to common humanity, we
would have been a national disgrace. Mi
It would have spoken ill for the land of Co'
the free and the brave that its citizens to
were content with the protection they or
were happy to'enjoy under the stars and Hi
stripes, while they refused to stretch a ns
helping hand to the cruelly enslaved On
people of another country. We could W
-not have pleaded ignorance as our ex- Ke
cuse. From the time of the earliest
African explorers to our own day the
horrors of the slave trade have been ro
familiar to our ears. We have read of
whole districts absolutely depopulated be
by the inhumanity of Arab traders, tei
and the cruelties inflicted upon the on
helpless captives on their way to the pa
sea coast should have brought many a ge
blush to the cheek of our modern civil
ization. But the accession of the
United States makes the circle of re- A
forlners complete, and it new era will
open for the oppressed peoples of cen
tral Africa. tri
The new plan seems not' only well isl
conceived in its details, but likely to be st
thorough in its execution. The warfare
againlst the inhuiman trallic is to be vig- a
orously wanged both by land and soea. w
On England, Portugal, the Congo tree of
State and Zanzibar, all of them powers pn
with important possessions in the inte- '1
rior of the dark continent, will fall the pi
varied duties of suppression on shore. "
They have hound themselves to shelter a
escaped slaves, to punish slave-hunting w
as a felony, to refuse to slave-hunters m
the right of passage and of trading, and ai
-bast preventives of all- -to prevent the io
importation of firearms and restrict the
liquor traffic. The regular caravan w
routes are, further, to be carefully to
guarded, with a view to the thorough
intercoption of the slave caravans. To ill
the civilized navies is entrusted the duty
of guarding thesea-coast, and we cannot
conceive that, in such a cause, either the it
people of the .United States or of any
other country will imagine any liuuiilii
tion to their national flag by the treaty
right of searlching vessels under 500 tons e
burden.{ Tile trader who can pass these
barriers of prevention and land his hiu
rmaln cargo in Turkey, Persia or Zanzi
bar, will still be fice to face with the
authority of the treaty, 11e will find v
that the rulers of these countries have
agreed to prolhibit thle importation of
slaves 1and to liorate aill fiugities in
their ldominionis. T'liere is probably the
weaklt spot in tile whole frauiiowork. If I

!hleh iqlusaiu Act Debuted' at 'Altebly
BIlal Ibst Eveutll.
'there was quite a fair attendance at the
meeting at AqsenMbly hall last, eyaiug 'to
discuss the Chinese question. The debate
was taken ;iart in by Mic(tael Corbeltt, P.
H. iBurge, JAdge Ja,. M4, Cleamentas t4d
others, 'the 'ertiole by Mr. Burns, iub
lished in sea uD eelsm.Nnr' pf last 8Su.4 y,
catmu iu d ,r' a ood deals of disylaTsfon,.
Judge Clemente, who was p:esent as a'
spectator, was called upon, and he gave his
views without any hesitation. He argued
that the sort of work the Chinese did in
this country was not such as a white man
would care to do, and that they occupied
many positions, in Montana especially, that
others could not be found to tfill. He
said that the records showed the Chinese
were law-abiding, their greatest crime
being that they worked cheap. lie was
glad the Chinamen did not aflltiate, and he
thought it was batter they did not become
American citizens, as we had too many peo
ple in the country now, unacquainted with
our system of government, entitled to the
rights of citizenship. "But I could take
Wing Sing, Lye Lung, Tong Soi, Alh Jim
and a lot of wooden Indians and mtake a
better city council thin you have here
now. They wouln not vote your. money
iaway to pay other l:coplo'a debts." This
sally was received with groat applause.
Continuing, Mr., Clemente said he was
talking on the Carie.se question not from a
sentimental point, but basing his remarks
on reasonable grounds. He did not pi ofes
to know all about it, and if it could be
pointed out where the Chinaman was a
detriment to the white man, he would be
glad to ase it. Wtlat he was after was the
best thing for the white man, and he thought
if we could get some one to do the drudgery
and menial things for us, we should do so.
"-lvery man," said the judge, 'should take
advantngce of Chinese cheap labor. If we
can save the health of our wives by payin:r
a ChinI man a dollar a week to do the fam
i!y washing, let us pay hint and save the
women's health and strength, and' it we are
ready to confine on solves to menial labor,
let us by all means put the Chinese out."
Before the judge reached the question of
the desirability of extending the exclusion
act, his time had expired. Several gentle
men replied to him, citing instances where
Chinamen had crowded out white labor.
W. E. Purcell acted as chairmatnand Mr.
Corbett as secretary. There will be another
meeting next Friday evening.
THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE.
A Fergus Counuty Boy the Winner in the
Ctdet .tlExamijnationl

was 8315-18. The next highesr ca.d date is
Maurice Deoeing, of Marysville, this
county, with an average of 80 7-18. WVil
liard is a son of Dr. Williard, of Lewis
town, and was born in Ohio. He is a little
over 21 years old. Deering was born in
Hancook, Mich., and is 11. Williard will
next appear for examination at Fort Keogh
on March 1, before a board of army officers.
Deering being second in the examination'is
Williard's alternate and will also go to
Keogh. In case Williard should fail either
at Keogh or West Point Deering will take
his place.
A Butts boy took third place. Ho is Car
rol J. Dolman, whose average was 77. Lewis
Davis, a son of Hon. Joseph Davis, of Hel
ona, was not eligible on account of his age,
being 16. -lo entered the competition as a
test for himself and made a very c editable
showitng. His average was 70 17-18. He is
one of the five boys out of thirteen who
passed the 70 per cent mark. 'The lowest
general average was 38 12-18.
DISAPPEARED TN DUST.
A Novel Mlethod of a Policeman te
Frighten a Youthful Culprit.
Durinm the progress of the gamltling
trial yesterday, terrific yells from a child
ish voice on the sidewalk of the city hall
startled everybody in the court room and
for a few minutes interrupted the proceed
ings. Judge, lawyers and spectators made
a break for the windows to find out what
was wrong. All they could see was a cloud
of dust traveling up West Main street, with
part of a small pair of legs now andi then
,visible on the horizon of the whirlwind.
'The c :use was this: A policeman liad
picked up a small boy who was charged
with taking small articles from grocery
stores, an offense that has beenr' carged
igeinst him before. On reaching the side
walk of the city hall, the policeman re
marked in a joking way that "we've had
enough of this thing, now. Let's get a rope
and finish him." With that the boy let
out a yell like that of a Comanche Indian
and broke away, scampering up the street.
It was just what was expected and what
I was wanted, as there is no place in the city
to keep youthful offenders in.
