Someof the residents of riiillr*biirH^^ re up and at it. Tliey want to have^tlranite county established, and they^don't care who knows it. The current^nunitier of the I'liilipsburg Mail has^columns of comment on the question.
Theclaim set up by those who op^^pose the new county is that the move^^ment for its creation is the scheme of^a few real estate Fjieculators in I'liil-^ipsburR^that is what the jieople of^the city of l^eer Lodge say. On the^other hand, the advocates of the pro^^posed new county produce statistics^showing what its present wealth and^population amount to and what its^promise of growth is. They assert^that 86 percent, of the court business^of lK^er Lodge is the contribution of^the territory which it is proposed to^embrace in the new county, they claim^an assessed valuation of four million^dollars and a registration of voters six^or seven times larger than the total for^several east side counties.
Thoseof us who live in Anaconda^have no idea how it will all turn out;^we are prepared to accept whatever^l'rovidenco and the legislature may^ordain.
seekingto make reputation by intro^^ducing a large numlier of bills. These^members have no difficulty In finding^material^all they need to do is to^turn to the pressed new cade. The^aspiring representative copies I few-^sections of the code, word for^word, and makes a nice little bill of^them. Of course, all these bills, even^if passed, become so much waste paper^if ever the code itself is adopted, but^the members seem to think it incum^^bent on them to display their legisla^^tive gift before their constituents,^even if this course clogs legislation^and runs up the printing bills.
NOINDIAN OR BUFFALO.
The^big injun^ and buffalo aggro^gatiou ut the world's fair is not to lie.^The scheme, which was originally pro^^moted as a Montana undertaking, has^fallen through. J\ II. Miles was the^manager of the venture, and he de^^clares that several Montana million^^aires were his backers.
TheChicago Jin nin,1 N^ M quotes^Mr. Miles as saying: ^\Ve wanted four^acres of ground but could not secure it^within the fair grounds. We looked^at several tracts near by, but the Ixist^we could do was to pay a rental of^9M4tyM0 for six months. We intended^to connect our display with the fair^grounds by a viaduct, but for this it^was proposed to charge us :r.t |^er MM*^of our earnings, and that settled it.
Thebuffalo and the Indian will^therefore remain in their Montana^haunts. Mr. Miles ought to have^started his dicker through the adven^^turers who made the state of Montana^sponsor for the silver-plated woman^fake. He might have fared better in^their hands.
HECAN APPOINT.^The talk of the Mi in r regarding the^right of the governor to appoint a sen^^ator is so stupid as not to merit dis^^cussion; at tlie same time, a word or^two respecting its comments of yester^^day morning may not lie out of place.^To begin with, the Mimr quotes the^language of the constitution of the^Vnited States which says: ^If vacan^^cies happen by resignation or other^^wise during the recess of the legisla^^ture of any state, the executive thereof^may make temporary appointments^until the next meeting of the legisla^^ture, which shall then till such vacan^^cies.^ Then the Miin r adds:
lithelegislature fulls to elect, the vacancy^dors not ^happen ^lurl!iK a recess of the lagta-^lalure. ^ ^ ^ ^ There can Ih^ 110 tloiihl^As to the meaning of the lanjiiiairc. our^friends who ipiotc ttie New Hampshire case^^hen Charles II. Hell ^^^^ seated us Wadlchih't^successor, overlook the fact that Senator Wad-^Iclgh's seat became vacant w htle the legislature^was not in session. It nviifsm in hi no a^hum or thk i.koini.art mk and not^through tin- failure or refusal of the legislature^to elect. In that case the governor uuipiestloav^Bbly had the right to appoint, but this by no^means give* the f^ \crn^^i the tight to ttpp tint^because of ttie leglslatute s failure to elect.
TheVMM In ^small caps^ we quote^as the Mintr uses them. Our contem^^porary (rets the right of It in saying^that Mr. Hell got his seat liecause a^vacancy happened during a recess of^the legislature. Now what will be the^case in Montana^ 1'ndcr the law of^the state, the legislature of Montana^must reach final adjournment on the^second day of March. I p to that hour^there will be no vacancy in the senate^as far us Montana is concerned. San^^ders holds the seat until March^4. On that day the legisla^^ture will le in recess, there v ill^then In a vacancy in the senate and^the governor of this state w ill do as^many a governor in other states has^done he will appoint for a vacancy^which occurs not by resignation but^^othcrw tse,
Theonly question that arises in the^Hell case was whether a governor^could make an appointment tilting^from the beginning ot ^ full term.^The opponentsof Hell insisted th at the^govcriioi could appoint only forantiu-^1 \pired term where a vacancy during^the term had occurred by resignation^or otherwise.
Hellwas ^ ated. and the decision in^his case was a precedent which has^nit re ri cciii ly governed 111 the senate.^In Montana the vacancy will happen^when the legislatute is in recess, ami,^as the Miu^r itself shows, the governor^can then appoint,
ATHtlENA.
Ibisincssin the legislature is pro^^gressing as rapidly, jM-rhaps, as it^Would move were II,e senatorial ques^^tion out of the way. At the same^time, the results of legislation are m^many instances unlike what would^happen were the MSMSSH free front^the entanglements which will probablv^be of account as long as the senator^ship is an utiscttUd question.
Thingsgo lurgcly by courtesy at^Helena- that is a polite way 01^ saying^that the business of the legislature is^largely a question ^ ^: give and take.^This is true rSBBMtMfl 'he award of^public biiildincs. An omnibus ar^^rangement was made. The city that^wants one o) the buildings v^ tes for^all the other places that want the^other buildings, und thus the combi^^nation swicps away all opposition. To^8 degree, tin same plan has Ixen op.^crated in the award of new counties.^The result is that ^everything- gMI^our irwmory is that only one measure^has thus far been squarely vo! ^^! Ml^in the present legislature.
Someof the mend ers at Helena, is^pecially in the house, are evidently
MR.LOCKEY'S PROPOSITION.
Inthe house of representatives, on^Saturday, Mr. Lockoy gave notice of^his intention to introduce a bill pro^^viding against the sale of intoxicating^liquors within three miles of the state^university.
Mr.Lockcy's motive In this move^^ment is not clear. He is a resilient of^Lewis and Clarke county. In the city^of Helena he has abundant opportu^^nity to observe the baneful IMMMM^of the saloon, and it may be that he^imagines Missoula's moral environs to^be as hail as are those of the tempo^^rary capital. It is suspected, how^^ever, that the proposed three-mile^limit is nothing better than an effort to^throw a stone in the way of the city of^Missoula.
Ifthis Mr. Lockey is in earnest on^the score of temperance und morals,^it would lie more to the point were he^to begin on the legislature by propos^^ing that all sessions of that body be^held at a distance of at least two hun^^dred miles from the city of Helena.^Heform along that line would amount^to something.
LADY OR WOMAN.
ASan Francisco jsillce magistrate^has ruled that in his court a woman^must always he spoken of as a holy.^Any violation of this rule of etiquette^will he regarded as an insult to the^dignity of the court and the offender^will be adjudged guilty of contempt.^This absurdity is but a further devel^^opment of the tendency to misuse the^term lady. We are already familiar^with the saleslady, the washlady and^the lady with no visible means of sup^^port. And now a policeman must re^^port that he found a ^lady^ in a^drunken and disorderly condition.^Whereu)voti the judge will MMMMM^that the ^lady^ is lined *Jo and costs.
Thisrecalls the incident, familiar to^the bar of Helena,in wlucht'ol. Nolan,^as prosecuting attorney, was examin^^ing a witness in regard to a stabbing^affray. After the usual questions, Col.^Nolan drew himself up to his full^height, and looking sternly at the^witness said, ^.Now, sir,will you kindly^tell the gentlemen of the jury precisely^what this white woman did to tills col^^ored lady V^ The colonel had a correct^conception of the application of thu^terms.
Hutit Is better that the ill-treated^wortl, lady, should be thus debased^than that inch ^female men^ as appear^before a police court should be desig^^nated as women. Ami peihaps the^san Francisco judge is correct in his^ruling, after all.
Thereis no more dignified or ex^^pressive wont in our language than^woman. It embodies all that we have^been taught to respect us good ami^pure 111 our mothers and our sisters. A^true woman is always 11 lady 111 the^true sense of the term, but not all^alleged ladies are w omen. Let us ad^^here to the good old fashioned wortl,^ami call a woman, a woman, leaving^the affected term, lady, to those who^waul it.
Theenthusiasm which many states^manifest in regard to forest preserva^^tion is encouraging. Oregon and^Washington have secured national^parks anil (loveritor Dover proposes^to have the Adiionducks reserved for^the same purpose. The movement is^a commendable one ami deserves the^support of all liberal minded citizens.

Amine to be a good ^company mine^^should bo a large one worked on a large^scale, writes Albert Williams in the ^n-^Oineering ilaijazine. In order to pay divi^^dends on shares numbering from 100,1 mo^to 1,000,000, the profits have to be consid^^erable or the dividend per share becomes^inaignillcant and diaanpointlng. It Is^seldom for instance, that the California^corporations, operating ininea mainly in^Nevada, offer their shareholders less than^25 rent dividends, which on the usual capi^^talisation of IMMMM in 100,000 shares,^would mean the very respectable aum or^^5,0U0. tluo aucb dividend a year would^bu a creditable exhibit for a mine owned^by 0110 or two persona. Thus, to be a^promising purchase for a proposed cor-^lioratfon, a mine ought to be one which^can be worked by a considerable force to^insure steadiness of output. A rich but^narrow vein where only a limited number^of men have room for sloping may be tbo^best for Individual ownership, since run^^ning expenses aro low, but it is not ao^good for a company aa a large deposit of^lower grade, capable of being ex^^tensively opened and presenting largo^br.asts in the stopei, with ^^more regular output. Tho most relia^^ble gold mines have been of very low^grade, but with large and regular depoaita.^In California $15 a ton ia considered a very^fair basis for a company initio if the ore is^in quantity; but a very much lower tenor^has been worked with great profit in the^exceptionally large deposits of the Black^Bills and Alaska, where $5 a ton would^leave a liberal margin for dividends. In^fact most of the famous mini s havo not^been of high grade, tho gold ore rarely^allowing any metal to tbo eye, so that^most miners havo a prejudice againat^what aro called ^specimen mines.^ Tho^same thing holds, to a less extent, with^silver and dore mines. On the f omstock,^the heart of ^tho big bonanza,^ tho great-^eat ore body ever known, only averaged^ssS'.l per ton, including the rich streaks,^and that waa thought to be very high.^The great silver mines of Montana havo^not averaged anything like as much.^There havo b on except ions, notably in^Arizona, Colorado anil I tali, where high^grado ores in comparatively small^amounts havo produced largely; but^a|^eakuig generally, the celebrated mines^have not been of t hat claaa.
A NEEDED REFORM.
PatOur Congressmen on Hard Benches^anil Thar Will Work.
Thereia but one way in which this can^bo mado a decent legislative body,^ said a^member from Now York yesterday, aa ho^surveyed tho house and heard one man^speaking while 100 others chewed gum or^rustled papers, ^and that way is to tako^from tbo members their desks. They^should bo given no opportunity to write^w bile legislative business ia on tap. If^plaectl upon straight, hard benches, with^nothing to do aavo tulk or listen, they^would know more of what is going on.^Long, long ago the English realised this^fact. In tho house of commons there is^never disturbance of any kind, unless an^extremely heated and factional debate is^on. Everybody in tho chamber bears^what tho man who has tho right of way is^aaying. If tho members wish to write, or^read newspapers, or awap yarns that used^to bo funny many aeons ago they go into a^room provided for that purpose. I am not^much of an anglonianic myaelf. In fact I^think that cockney immigration ought to^be permanently barrod. But there aro^things other than trousers that we might^copy from England and be nothing the^worse for it.^^ M'as/iingfun Po$t.
