A postmaster is required to give official notice (returning p. paper Coes not satisfy tho law) u-fien k subscriber doe* n o t take h i ' paper from foe office, and to state tho reasons for its being cuken, and a neglect to do fco makes the pos>- niaster responsible to the publisher for the payment. Any person who takes a paper from the post- office, whether directed in his name or in that of another, or whether h e hits subscribed o r not, is responsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper discontinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send i t u n til payment is mado, a n d collect the whole am o u n t wnether it be taken from the office o r n o t. There cun be no legal discontinuance u n til the p aym ent is mado. If the subsoribev orders his paper to be stop ped a t a certain time, and the publisher cwn- unnes to send it, the subscriber is bound 'o pay for i t i t lie takes it o u t of the office. The law proceeds upon tlm uround th a t a man m u s t pay for w h a t he wees. Tho court« h ave decided t h a t refusing to take newspapers a n d s periodicals from the postoffice is primn facie evidence of intentional fraud. T urkic seems to be a wrong im pression in existance concerning the cutting of timber. Someone lias circulated the report that no one but the consumer is allowed to cut either fire wood or poles, and charges Commissioner Carter with this unrighteous ruling. Whether this report is being cir culated for political effect or to prevent half-breeds from cutting and hauling fence poles and cord wood to town we are not able to say, but we can assure those desir ing to cut.poles or cord wood for sale that there is no law or ruling that prevents anyone from cutting and marketing either in any quan tity so;long as only dead or fallen timber is cut up. The commis sioner, instead, deems the removal of all dead and fallen timber a pro- tectioiutdjthe growing trees and a prevention of forest fires. There is no truth, therefore, in the re port that to cut and haul away from the monn tains cord wood or poles, such as have been sold here for years, is stealing and sub jects such person to fine and im prisonment. You, or anyone, is at liberty to cut such wood and poles for sale. T he democrats have been as serting the tariff has caused an im mense importation of foreign shod dy rags ami waste which are made into workingmen’s clothes. The falsity of t hi-; statement is exposed referen to the government records which show that lor nine months of last year before the McKinley bill took effect, there were imported to this country 3,- 554,603 pounds of this material wkilefor<the corresponding nine months under the McKinley bill they were but 572,712 pounds. H ere ’ s an item lor the free trader. Take it, and roll the sweet morsel uuder your tongue: “ Four grades of wool grown by Ohio fanners have decreased iu price sii ce 1890, double extra showing a d- crease of 6 per cent.” Now let l he whole host of democracy cany the news. Wool has de creased in value in Ohio! Tell il to the winged winds, Oh, ye free trader! Wool 6 per cent lower than last fail! It is true, too true. And under the McKinley bill at that What will poof Bid do now? Well, he will keep right on gain ing votes on the strength of his tariff bill until he is elected gov ernor of Ohio over Campbell by a roaring majority, and then he will be governor of Ohio, with an offer of the presidency if he wants it. But wait a minute! We forgot to say that while certain classes of Ohio wools are G per cent lower under the McKinley bill, the same kinds of Australian wools are sell ing for 25 per cent less than for merly. Perhaps this will wet the powder in the cartridge but we can’t help ic; it’s the truth, too, you know, and the whole truth, and that’s what knocks. T he revised laws of the second session of the Montana state leg islature have at last materialized in book form, but are rendered al most valueless by a two-page er rata, says the Livingston Enter prise. The delay in furnishing these laws has been a source of great annoyance to attorneys and litigants, and it would seem that with the time consumed in pre paring them thè large number of errors exhibited is inexcusable. The manner in which this work is presented to the public is another strong argument in favor of hav ing the laws printed as soon as passed in the newspapers of the state, and we trust action with this object in view will be taken at the next meeting of the legislature. N otwithstanding the River Press’ reference to the law in re gard to the illegality of foreign ad vertising in the matter of the sale of Choteau county’s bonds we re main unconvinced of the error of our judgment in the premises. We find special laws requiring for eign publication of notice of sale of bonds but have not been able to find any general law to that effect, and as the bonds in question were issued under the general laws gov erning the issuance óf còuntv bonds, we do not see why this ex tra expense. Will someone cite a law with such requirements. C ommissioner W arner has late j instructions from the land office j at Helena to receive no filings on desert lands except the enirytnàn is a full citizen of the United States and resident of this state. Declaration of intention to be come a citizen will not go here after. GEN. BOULA ^GttR SUICIDES B r u s s e l s , Sept.. 30.—Glen. Bou- langer committed suicide to-day about noon on the tomb of Madam Bonnemain, his mistress, who died recently in this city. He stood alone bv the grave of his mistress for some time appearing to be deeply affected by sorrowful recol lections. The attendant of the general who had remained at some distance from the tomb of Mine Bonnemain suddenly heard a sharp report in that direction. Running to the spot the attendant found Gen. Boulanger lying dead upon the ground with revolver cocked in his right hand. A hasty examination of the body showed that the dead man had placed the weapon to his right ear and fired the fatal shot. The affair has caused great excitement in this city and some commotion among the general’s followers in Paris. C ommenting on what T he M on tanian said last week about for eign advertising by the county commisioners. the River Press re marks: T he M ontanian may be correct on the question of cost, but its judgment is at lault on the matter of legality. The statutes call for such advertising, ''and the commissioners were compelled to conform to the law in the prem- iset. Whether the results justify such a course is an open question, but as the law now stands there is no option in the matter. C hoteau is taking her place among the live towns of the state. She is the\only town in Choteau county having a fully' organized Democratic club in runningorder. C ol . B rice ’ s aggregation has come and gone but it left its mark in the shape of several small ones • which are in good running order. — - - -------- — f .
