Charles X. Felton has been elected
United .States senator from California,
to succeed the late Senator llearst. He
is a prominent lawyer of that state,and
his election is a republican gain.
As the general land law passed bv
congress on March 4th will be of uni

of 21st and 28th. By preserving these
numbers subscribers will have the full

•State Senator Hennessy of Silver
Bow county has tendered his resigna
tion, giving as his reason therefor that
private business affairs demand his un
divided attention. The vacancy will
necessitate a special election in Silver
Bow county, with a strong probability
of a republican gain of one member in
the upper branch of the state legis
lature.

As will be seen by reference to the
list of World's Fair managers appoint
ed by Governor Toole, J. C. Vilas has
been accordai that honor for Park
county. The selection is a good one, as
Mr. Vilas' thorough knowledge of the
diversified resources of the county,
coupled with his acknowledged busi
ness ability, renders him especially fit
ted for the position.
Granville Stuart, formerly of Fergus
county, but now a resident of Butte,
ha.«> been nominated and confirmed to
• the position of state land agent of Mon
tana, at a salary of 83,000. Mr. Stuart
was the bolting democratic candidate
for state senator from this district
three years ago against W. T. Field,
the regular nominee, but of course this
was not his chief recommendation to
Governor Toole in making the appoint
ment.
The regular monthly story, complete
in supplement form, will appear in next
week's Enterprise. It is by The
Duchess, and entitled "Her Last
Throw." It is said that more copies of
The Duchess' novels have been sold
than those of any other living author.
Her charming style and witty dialogue
have made her the favorite of two con
tinents of readers. This, her latest
novel, is quite up to the standard she
has established, and will be read by all
with interest and delight.
The permission granted Buffalo Bill
to take the Sioux Indians now confined
at Fort Sheridan to Europe for the pur
pose recruting his Wild West show
would seem to be a grave mistake. The
only argument in favor of the proposi
tion is the temporary removal of this
disturbing element from the country in
the event of renewed Indian troubles
the coming summer. On the other
hand it gives these prisoners a distinc
tion that can be viewed as little less
than a reward for past offenses against
the government, and will tend to en
courage others to emulate their exam
pie.

From Washington dispatches it ap
pears that something of a muddle has
been made in the hill providing for the
opening of the Crow reservation, and
doubts exist as to the rights of intend
ing settlers. The hill as Congressman
Carter secured its passage by the house
was all right, hut it was amended in
the conference committee so that no
clear interpretation of its provisions
can now he made. The interior depart
ment will soon attempt an interpret
atjon of the law, and its construction
will no doubt he made in the interest of
the people so far as such decision is not
in direct conflict with the provisions of
the hill.
The instructions to registers and re
ceivers under the new land laws have
been prepared in the general land office
although it may he a few days before
they may be promulgated through ac
ceptance by the secretary of the inte
rior. These instructions, it is said, will
construe the laws very liberally in be
half of the settlers who have had their
lands in contest by action of special
agents of the government. It is claim
ed to have been the intent of congress
to deal leniently with the settler who
has gone upon the lands of the United
States and tried to make a home. The
interior department has been disposed
to treat these settlers with considera
tion, and will so construe the law.
The first application of the new pub
lic land act of March 3,1891, was made
Tuesday in a decision by Secretary No
ble in the case of Cyrus B. Rawson and
Jacob Shoemaker of Bishop, California,
charged with unlawfully cutting 743,
000 feet of timber from public lands in
that state. It appears from the record
that the timber was cut by Rawson,
and 580,000 feet manufactured intolum
her and used bv him in improving
ranches, building houses, barns, etc.,
and that 167,000 feet were sold. Raw
son made a proposition in settlement of
the case to pay for the lumber sold to
his neighbors, hut contended that he
was entitled to the lumber used by
himself. The secretary sustains this
view.
George C. Merrick of Denver is again
in the east with the somewhat cele
brate«! silver brick. It is his intention
to again offer it to the superintendent
of the mint and demand its coinage
without charge. Superintendent Bos
byshell will again refuse, just as he .lid
when Mr. Merrick made his first visit,
and that gentleman will make a subse
quent demand on Secretary Foster to
order the coinage made. Mr. Foster
will, of course, decline to honor the de
mand, and then Mr. Merrick will begin
proceedings for a mandamus against
Foster in the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia to compel him to or
der the brick coined. This action was
found necessary because of the death
of Secretary Windom, which brought
a
an end to Mr. Merrick's previous pro
ceedings of a similar character. The
object is to test the validity of the law
demonetizing silver.

it is not the custom of eastern capital
ists to invest in any proposition with
out carelul investigation, which they
have certainly had no opportunity to
make since the failure■ of Colonel May's
franchise scheme. The Enterprise
would be pleased with the success of
any measure to afford relief to the mine
owners of Cooke, but it is difficult, to
conceive how capital at this time can
be invested in so hazardous a financial
undertaking as the construction of a
railroad to that district by any other
than the \ ellowstone route. It is
herefore probable hat the statement
that capital has been enlisted in a rail
road to Cooke, outside of the present
boundaries of the Park, is the produc
fion of a vivid imagina.ion possessed
by the Times reporter.
• « m °i> violence can be
justified in any emergency, that condi
tion certainly prevailed in the citv of
New Orleans, where the secret society
of assassins known as Mafia had suc
cessfully accomplished its work and
afterwards thwarted justice in the
courts. Ihis organization, composed of
brigands from southern Italy had
fastened itself upon the social svstèm to
such an extent that justice was permit
ted to miscarry either through bribery
or intimidation. Its presence was in a
greater degree inimical to society than
anarchy as its methods were more secret
and insidious. It had been permitted
to exist until emboldened by numbers
and immunity from punishment of its
memoers it threatened the overthrow
ot all other government in the city of
its birth. Steps were then taken to
bring it under police surveillance, when
it resented the threatened restraint bv
the removal of Chief of Police Hen
nesey. It was then that threats of
summary justice were made, but better
counsel prevailed and the courts were
evoked in behalf of good government.
I he failure of the courts through brib
ery or intimidation of the jury to mete
out justice to the assassins of Chief
Hennessy called for determined action
and the Jaw simply reverted to the
sovereign people from whence it had
its origin.

I he city democratic committee has is
sued its call for primaries and conven
tion to place in nomination candidates
at the ensuing muncipal election The
prospect for that party securing the
election of its nominees, except possibly
an alderman in the first ward, are ex
ceedingly slim. But the nomination of
a democratic ticket should have a salu
tary effect in inducing the republicans
l" aoe their best men in nomination.
W hue the city at large can be safely re
lied upon as republican, party lines can
not lie so closely drawn as at general
elections, and a lack of proper interest
in primaries and convention may work
a defeat of candidates. So far but lit
tle interest is manifested in the election
except among candidates for the minor
salaried officers, and little discussion is
indulged in as to available candidates
tor mayor and aldermen. So far as the
Enterprise is concerned it has no de
sire to urge any candidates for these
positions further than that men
known honesty and capability be pre
sented. The greatest difficulty
countered in securing the proper per
sons for this department of city gov
eminent is the disinclination to make
the sacrifice of personal interests neces
sary in attending to the affairs of the
city. But a proper consideration
public welfare should, in most cases at
least, overcome this objection.
In an interviewât Boston Ex-Senator
Ingalls predicts that Cleveland will he
the democratic candidate for president,
regardless of his antagonism to silver
lie further believes that President Har
rison is entitled to and will receive the
republican nomination. In regard to
the attitude of the parties on the silver
question he says: "If the republican
party nominates an anti-silver coinage
candidate in 1892 and inserts a plank of
the same character in its platform, it is
doubtful if it could carry two states
west of the Alleghanies. The gravity
of the situation is not fully apprehend
ed nor appreciated in the east. There
is a growing feeling of resentment
among western farmers at the injustice
of society, the unequal distribution of
wealth, benefits and burdens. They are
intelligent and patriotic, neither Nihil
ists nor Anarchists, and have been
studying the problem for manv years
with a desire to reach some solution of
the difficulty which exists. They re
garded the republican party in a meas
ure as being responsible, so far as in
their eyes it has obeyed in legislation
the dictation of eastern leaders, manu
facturers and capitalists, and they have
beheld no disposition on the part of the
latter to make the slightest concessions
to their interests, but, on the contrary
an invariable demand for the pound of
flesh. Western people believe that a
safe and abundant circulation is neces
sary to activity in business and that
the scarcity of money has occasioned
the stagnation and low prices, hut the
fiat or irredeemable paper money idea
has few adherents."

The granting of a lease to C. C. Hut
ley of Helena for a transportation line
through the Yellowstone Park was
wholly unexpected in this locality, as
the first intimation of the fact was the
announcement that the privilege had
been granted. It was known that com
plaints had been lodged with the in
terior department against the Park
Transportation company, hut as the
trouble complained of was in a great
measure the result of unavoidable an
noyance incident to travel over rough
and dusty roads of a mountainous
country in midsummer, it was not ex
pected any change would be made.
Whether this new arrangement annuls
the lease of the old transportation com
pany is not known. It is supposed,
lowever, that both companies will be
permitted to conduct transportation
business and give the public the benefit
of a healthy competition in order to
secure the best accommodation possible.
Under the most favorable circum
stances a trip through Wonderland is
robbed of much of its attractiveness by
a tedious journey by stage over a rougn
and dusty road. Eventually some other
mode of travel, cheaper and more rapid,
must supplant the stage, hut this will
probably not he inaugurated until senti
mentalists of the east withdraw their
objection to railroads in the Park.
When this result is brought about
Cooke City will secure urgently needed
railroad transportation and Park tour
ists secure a full measure of enjoyment
that should accrue from a visit to Won
derland.
Press Comment.
Inter Mountain: The Cooke City
railroad project was killed in the recent
congress because some of the members
believed that the road would ruin the
scer.ery and scare off the game. The
scenery on the proposed route consists
of barren hills and rocky plains while
the game is made up chiefly of coyotes.
It takes the average eastern legislator
to regulate western affairs and help to
develop the country. The only trouble
is that the average eastern legislator
doesn't know as much about the ge
ography, topography and resources of
the west as a hog knows about astrono
my.

expresses a great deal of dissatisfaction
with the manner in which the treaty
with the Crow Indians was finallV

the westerners do not like it.

WE TOLD YOU
In our last we expected our early shipment
of Spring Goods.
We keep up with the wants of the people and the season. Spring is
near at hand and while the chilly air makes it cosy to hug close to
your cherry wood fire and finish your spring sewing, we are aware
such will be of short duration. The Spring Sun's rays will take the
lead and give you a gentle hint to cast off your cherry fire attire and
don your Spring Costumes for comfort. You may not be ready, but
don't blame us we pudlished it according to law and feel we have
done our duty in every respect. We exerted ourselves to get spring
styles early, merely for your convenience.
-(o)
Our Spring Suitings
Are on exhibition in Stripes, Plaids and Plain, as neat a line as you ever
saw. The greatest line in Grey Shades we have ever shown.
-(o)
Our Outing Cloths
Are simply beautiful. In order to get these choice patterns we were obliged to
have them selected early by our buyers east before {they were placed on
sale in market. We were fortunate in this respect this season.
If you can get cream don't use skimmed milk, the same
price. Look us over.

OUR MUSLIN UNDERWEAR sale will teach you never to try and make
your own. Your time is more valuable.
