Senn__>r McLauria is very boldly claiming that be represents a major ity of the voters of South Carolina in supporting national policies which aro beueficial to the south. The New York labor organization have joined in the general denuncia tion of Tammany. If thoy will join with the voters against Tammany, tho finish of that corrupt organization will be in sight. Assistant Attorney General Mettlor has decided that banks are liablo for taxation on mortgages held by them as security for loans. Tho doposits which have been loaned are also tax able proporty of depositors. No higher praise of the ability of tho American workmen is possible than tho offor of u big London firm to pay the expenses of official delegates from any Bridish trades union willing to conio to tho United Slates. As the only democrat who has occupied the presidential chair in forty years, Grover Cleveland is anxiously listening for an expected third term boom. The Montana democracy, it will be remembered, is on record with an expression of its confidence in Mr. Cleveland’s “ ability to guide the country through the difficulties by which it is beset.” —-Kiver Press. Indigestion must have boon respon- siblo.for tho report sent to his home ' government by tho Gorman consul at Cincinnati saying: “ tho time is past when emigrants to tho United Stales had a chance to acquire riches” Thore is hardly a community of any size in which a living contradiction to the consul’s assertion cannot bo pointed out. Blessed is the poor man. Pick pockets never bothor him, and road agents give him a wide berth. The tax { S e c t o r never hounds him. No- bjOuy tries to borrow, and no one asks him to endorse. Ho nover runs head over ears m dobt and is not robbed or harrasod by litigation. Burglars never invado his promises and he sleeps in peace. Wl.on ho dies not • \ontests his wjn 0r at- te » p „oi’fiscate his bonos. Bios- sed luerefore are tho poor in pockets for they always get their money’s worth.— Ex. . A Washington census bullotin shows that there are 1 0 , 0 0 2 incorpor ated places in tho United States as compared with 7,598 in 1890. There are 38 cities containing morn than 100,000 people each. Now York, Chicago and Philadelphia, contain ing over a million inhabitants, each, as they did in 1890, while for cities having between 500,000 aud 1,000,000 inhabitants, those in 1900 number three, as against one in 1890. 47 per ' cent of the ontiro population roside in iifacorpprated towns and cities, as ■ against 41 per cent in 1890. W e aro pleased to note that Goo W . Magee, of the Aeautha, and other prominent residents of Dupuyor are favorable to the free high school proposition. Without doubt a large majority of others are in favor o f es tablishing this free high school at Choleau and it is pleasant to know that a large vote can be expected by our people from Dupuyer and other places in the northern portion of the county. It shows that the old prejudices uud animosities of the past have been removed, and it shows also that the fact is appreciated by the voters that this high school, if established, is a free county high school and is not solely for the bene fit o f Choteau, although the fact is admitted that this town will derive greater benefit from it that auy other place. The “ mysterious” case of which the Great Falls Tribune has had so much to say recently was investigated by a jury of its fellow-townsmen in Great Falls last Saturday, and to an eye witness it was more apparent that Dr. Sweeney, the coronor, thought that Drs. Adams and Fairfield wore more guilty in causing the death of Joseph Scharbach than was Thomas Manix, who threw the stone. The officials o f Toton county were duly roasted by the Tribiine for what that paper seemed to think was ne glect of duty in this case. But when it is made plain that after the affray the person of Joseph Scharbach was convoyed to the hospital in Great Falls and taken in charge of by the officials of Cascade county, and es pecially the doctors who cut him four quarters aud gave him a criss cross for luck, it wa 6 8 omewhat mysti fying to tho officials of Teton county as to whothor they should procoed agaiust tho doctors of Cascade coun ty or Thomas Manix, but as it was finally decided by tbo incongruous mass of intellect upon the part of tho coroner, the jury, and ospoeiaUy tho Tribuno, that Joseph Scharbach was dead, that no more was loft to be cut in twain, that they finally and without doubt found he was dead, tho Toton county officials will investi gate tho case at a preliminary exami nation to be held at Pondora next Monday, if tho Tribuno will permit them to perform their dutios in the case, so plain to them, and seemingly so densely “ mysterious” to the Tribuuo.

Tho first intimation wo. have had that tho editor of tho Libby Mou- taniau contemplated changing bis location to Jonuiugs is contained in tho following item clippod from his last week’s paper. It is now reported Lliat some idiotic wallopor with an idoa below an oys ter is to start a nowspapor at Jon* niugs. Competition is. tho life of trade and this paper would wolcomo any publisher who would come to Libby aud start up but the idea of startiug publication in such places as Jennings, which is nothing inoro than a construction camp on tho road, is suroly conceived by somo wart on tho journalistic profession. THE METHODISTS. Next month Choteau will bo in vaded by an army of .30 or 40 Meth odist ministers, led by B'shop Fowler These “ Soldiers of the Cross“ will be quartered among us during their brief stay, and wo must provido food and lodging for (hem or suffor tho consequences. Shall we accord them the freedom o f our little city aud receive them with open kos pitality, or close our gates aud as sume hostility toward them? That is tho question! W e do not believe, however, that auyouo with a particle of busiuoss sagacity, be bo saint or sinnor, jew or goutile, will for a moment contoinplato tho Iattor. Neglect to extond tho most hos pitable wolcomo to these visiting clorgymen will bo tantamount to re fusing to entertain them at all, and that would bo not only an insult, but it would bo tl o very worst tiling that our people could do for tho interest of the town and commumty. While wo may be, or may not bo, iu full accord with the religious views aud mothods of tbo Metho dists, wo canuot afford to allow them to go away from Chotoau with any but tho best of feelings toward us. Thoy have held conferouces in every town in Northern Montana, except Choteau, and in each of these towns tho people have taken these visitors into their homes and provided com forts for them, aud now that they are coming here, Choteau must do the same. As au advertising medium there is nothing equal to a Methodist con ference, and its power to do a' com munity good is only exceeded by its ability to see' that justice , iB done. On that accofint, if for no other, the people o f '- Choteau, regardless o f political or religious beliefs; should see. to it that tho visiting clergymen are providod for during their stay here. < -With that end in view let all assist .Rev. an^ ;Mrs. Cunningham in ar ranging for their care and mainten ance, so that when they go away they will say: “ Choteau is all right; best town in Northern Montana; good country; good people; and may, God bless them.” St. Mary’s Ditch. Tho United States geological sur veying party will shortly continue the survey and platting of the St. Mary’s drainage basin on the ceded strip and will cross-section the line of a ditch to divert tbo St. Mary’s wa-' ters into the North Foyk of Milk river. W e learn that the plan recom mended as tho most feasible is to reservoir tho St. Mary’s river at the foot of the lower lake and to divert Swift Current rivor into the. lake from where tho ditch will follow a coulee its whole lougth of about 2 0 miles, through tho North Fork gap, and empty into the North Fork. It is proposed to make the ditch fifty feet wide at the bottom and ten feet deep. On account of the high banks of tho Milk river after reaching Canadian territory it is thought the water canuot be easily diverted on tho Canadian side, but no doubt an international agreement will be reached in tho mattor at the next ses sion of congress, and the necessary appropriation secured for the con struction of the ditch. This ditch will make lower Milk rlyer a good sized stream, instead of a succession of mud holes, and will make suscepti ble of cultivation several hundred tboueand acres of land in the great Milk rivor valley now fit for grazing only.
