Montana has $18,000,000 worth of cattle. Just think of it! - Connelly, a democratic alderman of Helena, resigned. We wouldn't be surprised to hear next that a politi- cian had gone to heaven. - — The settlers on the Rakovitz survey Ore busy acquiring titles to their homes. Some of them have waited SeVell years for the opportunity. The removal of Commissioner Swaney to Columbia Falls is proving a great convenience to the settlers of the Rakovitz survey who are making final proofs and land entries. \Tenderfoot\ makes some remarks well worth reading, in another column of this paper. He is evidently a close observer and has kept his eyes open since he arrived in the Flathead. — - Major Peter Ronan can confer a favor upon the people of this locality by having the loose Indians rounded up and returned to the reservation. Thieving and begging combined make them a nuisance. New York City is having a \heated term\with the thermometer 100 in the 411. shade. Montana, constantly blessed with an invigorating breeze, sends sympathy by the carload to the sun - struck Knickerbockers. The Farmers Alliance met at Balti- more the other day anti resolved that. thePeople's Party is not a political organization. It had been supposed that the members of the P. P. wanted offices, but this declaration to the con- trary will be gratifying to the old party ringsters. _ . The July bulletin of the Agricul- tural Department shows a most flat- tering condition of affairs. In most states the crop condition indicates a bounteous yield. Montana stands at the head in small grains, in propor- tion to the acreage, and second (105) as to potatoes. Altogether the year 1891 will be wonderful for its har- vests. Why should any energetic man be afraid to cast his lot in Montana? It has greater wealth of resource than any state in the union; it has double the money per capita on deposit in the home banks that the people of any other state have; it has more div- idend paying mines, more available building material, greater crops to the acre, and more desirable land await- ing homeseekers than any like area in the union. Why should the earnest, industrious man be doubtful of his own future? On August 12 two men died who had been prominently before the pub- lic for years. James Rtissll Lowell, poet and essayist., and George Jones, editor of the New York Times. Lowell was educated, cultured and refined, with the polish of Harvard and an inborn taste for letters. His poems and essays were written with scrupu- lous care, revised and often rewritten before being given to the public. He was born February 22, 1819. The life of Geo. Jones was an active one, and he lived in the bustle, noise and clatter of New York journalism. He founded the Times and made it what it is; he had been the intimate friend of Horace Greeley and the associate writer with Henry J. Raymond. He knew more of humanity than Low- ell; lie saw all sides, and his opinion of men and measures had to be more quickly formed and more energetic- ally expressed. Lowell and Jones were greater prizes than death should take in one day. The people of this community de- sire information from the officials who are presumed to have charge of the Indians in this locality. Two ques- Hans are often asked, namely: \Are Indians punishable for violation of the game laws when off their reserva- tion; 2, What authority have the In- dians for leaving their reservation in bands? During the past month this community has been harassed by a baud of dirty, worthless and thieving Indians, and no home has (Iscaped the annoyance of blear eyed squaws and leering, lazy bucks; saddles and horses have been stolen, in addition ttf the coutiuttous pilferiugs of small articles. The patience of the people has been tried until relief is a neces- sity. In addition to these annoyances the Indians have slaughtered deer by the hundred, unrestrained by the law which white settlers observe. To all appearances there are no limits to the reservations, and the whole state of Montana is a vast playgrond for the roaming redskin, who knows no law except the demands of a stupendous appetite and a constant desire to steal something. The lousy redman has supplanted the noble warrior of history. WITH THE EDITolts. _ Traveling in Hard Luck. 'With Quay for Blaine and Wane - maker for Harrison, both of the re- publican presidential candidates have the sympathy of the public. -Butte Miner. Too Qttlek Time Altogether. Miss L. D. Sinclair, a New York woman, has had a mustache grafted on her lip. Most women prefer a mustache that can be removed about once every fifteen seconds.. -Missoula Gazette. We Live and Learn. Only twelve deaths have been re- ported from injuries received in the prize ring in the United States this year. There may have been a few more, but only twelve are known to have actually occured to date; and yet there some people who have the audacity to 1;affirm that prize fight- ing is brutal and immoral. Fort Benton Ricer Press. Right Von Are. An Indian with a self -binding har- vesting machine is not now a particu- larly odd sight on the reservation, says the Missoula Gazette. It is more pleasing than to see them oper- ating a self-acting Winchester.-- -Fer- gus Outlay Argus. Perish the Thought. Mr. Parnell should come to Amer- ica and take to the lecture platform. Accompanied by his wife he would make a fortune for himself and any shrewd manager who would properly handle him. Mr. and Mrs. Captain O'Shea Parnell would be taking cards in the Atlantic seaboard cities. • --Great Falls Tribune. Can't all be Great. Some of our greatest minds wor- shipped at the Shrine of Bacchus, but to those young men with the tenantless dome of thought, we would say, don't for a moment imagine that the wholesale imbibing of China whiskey transforms you into a Dan- iel Webster ora Byron. You might get the kind of greatness that goes to form the make-up of a colossal ass, but that would be all.- -Red Lodge Picket. Silence is Golden. Tom Powers owes it to the \brainy business men, of Montana,\ to make a little noise. As their spokesman he should say something, if it is no more than to apologize for what he has al- ready said. ---Butte Miner. AS YOU LIKE yr. At dawn the fisherman MX'S away libel a batch of fish nury be caught. He wanders home at the end of the day With a catch of fish ho has binight. Gigantic lady (to policeman) • Sir can you not see me across the street? Policeman • See yez across de streate, is it? Sure mum, I can see you a mile off. Tommy Did you ever see a real circus, Johnny? Johnny No, but I've heard ma when pa come home late, lots of times. Visitor (in dime museum 1895)--I see nothing freak -like about you. Freak - -I'm the only man who (lid not go crazy about souvenir spoons. Miss Smooth —That flower on your coat is a bachelor's button, is it not, Mr. Allaine? Mr. A. --Yes, Miss Smooth; why do you ask? Miss Smooth --I was wondering if I touched the button would you do the rest. A merchant, bent on economizing, Decided to cut off his advertising. \It costs me ten thousand a year,\ he said, \And I'll come out just that much ahead.\ His \ad\ appeared in the papers no more, His customers went to an \advertised\ store, His businees, nuheard of, ran steadily down. And now there in one merchant less in the town. No Fellow ('an Find Ont. If there is any one question that. troubles the fly -fisherman more than another it is why trout rise freely one day, and perhaps the next utterly re- fuse the same fly, complains Forest and Stream. It is natural to sup- pose that they are hungry and want food. Yet judging from the way they act it appears sometimes as if it were only mere caprice on their part; something like the way we pick at olives or salted almonds between the courses of a dinner. Who can explain the well known fact that trout rise freely during a snow storm and leave off at once when the snow stops fall- ing? Or why do they commence to rise all over a stream at a certain hour, which often happens to be right in the middle of the day, and stop as suddenly as they began.

HER REASON. - - Only a kiss did I beg of her, One little kiss of love Somethin g to help me bear the pain Of ! tatting never to meet again, While down o'er the waving fields of grain Soft shone the stars above. Faintly trembled the beautiful lids— \Quick I for I must away !\ \Tim' I love you, darling, the truth must known. My tiny kisses are all full grown; And a little kiss don't ask, I pray For it happens my mouth isn't built that way! —.Judge. A SPLENDID OFFER. An Educational Opportunity For a Young Man or Woman.
