(1 The Villautcs of lT-day. t A detective who has been engaged li in unearthing the doings of the vigi- 'I lantes in the Musselshell country has a returned and gives his report on the methods pursued by those who have II been scouring the north range for cattle and horse thieves. He says: v SThe New York correspondent gave It vivid description of the methods of the vigilantes in Northern Montana, but many of his statements were or I reneous. In the Munselshell region i.e yields of the herds for several years fallen off greatly on account of the ahnlmost wholesale stealing of stock. I To deal with this matter according to 1 legal methods was out of the ques- tion, and the cattle owners of that re- gion determined to test the question as to who were to have supremacy, he men who were doing a legitimate basiness or the raiders who were sweating their neighbors. The so- called vigilantes are composed of the most reliable and square moen in the country. The thieves they captured were not summarily hung, as said by the Sun. but went through a regular trial. Reliable witnebses testified as to the character and occupation of each, and when the charge was proved the culprit went up the line. Aecomn- plices in the work of raiding were pronounced equally guilty and went pti with the rest. About twenty-six were thus disposed of in that district. The vigilantes claim that it was only after careful consideration that they took this course, and now, being thor- mghly organized and having their hand in, the business of stock stealing in the Musselshell valley is attended with danger. Of course, several were hA.nged on general principles, but their record was very dark. Most of the vigilante work was carried on abs,ve the confluence of the Mussel- shell with the Missouri. Husinesn at tle White (louse. One of the leading secretaries at White House tells inme that the busi- nass of the oexecutive has incrensed largely since the days of Lincoln and Grant. "Up until the time of HIztay,." says he. "hardly a scrap of papller was kept here to show what thel President dii or why he did it. Now we kep aI record of everything iand we mak it a point of answering every letter. Note,: are kept of the contents of all impor- t ott letters received, and by our re- crjds here, in case of an appointtnmet, .re can tell just why and upon whose recommendation the appointimant wat: muade. In ease the appointee turns out badly the President is relieved of the blame and it is thrown upon those who recommended him. We receive a great many letters that should go to the various depart- ments. Some poor woman it t dis- tant part of the country wtlnts a pet- sion. She does not know anLything about the 1 :eusiott bureau, and the o:uly person mt tLe government wit.h whom llhe is acquainted is the PI'rsi dent. She writes to hint. Of cour.se her letter is referred by us to the poll- sion office, and it is thi esatoe with other letters of the same classn. As the executivoofficeo is carried on now it is absolutely necessary to have a good force of clerks, and the day is passed when P'rsidents can atk every other tperson they meet to come aiiul have it chat with them at the Whlite Honaee."- Washington Cot.

When therefore, you ask me what my mind is, I answer that it is a force possessing peculiar properties anti developed by a substance constituting i part of the nervous organism of mlan and other anamals, and known anatomists and physiologists as grey nerve tissue.

Every man ought to be willing to pay for what he gets. He ought to desire to give full value recieved. The man who wants two dollars worth of work done for one is n10 bhou- e•'t malln. '1r.h 11 men who wants othlers tj work to such an extent that their lives are burdens is utterly heartless. The toil of the world should continu- ally decrease. Of what use are your inventions if no additional comfort find their way to the homes of labor? Why should labor tll; the world with wealth lnd live in want' Every aInbor-saving machine should help the whole world. Every one should tend to shorten the hours of lanbor. RHtesonalb! labor is the source of I'y. To work for wife or child, to toil for those you love, is happiness, provided you can make them happy. But to work like a slave: to see your wife and childern in rags: to sit at the table where the food is course and scarce: to rise at four in the morning to work all day, and throw your bones on a miserable bed at; night; to live without leisure, without rest, without making those who love you- comfort- able and happy: this is not living: it is dying; a slo.v, lingering crucifixion. Ilirsenmen's Assocutlon. A horsenoans association, formed as other stock associations, should organ- ize regular sytemnatic round-ups in the different districts, to commence about the same time. That each round-up should hold all branded strays found during a iround-up in a pasture, or herd, for one mouth, d r- ing which time they should be adver- tised in all the local papers. The round-up could lix a price, of say $5 for onach horse so claimed, which would pay all expenses of pasturing and advertising. In this way horse- men would have a chance of recover- ing strays. Any surplus money might go towards forming a fund for building corrals in suitable places and for following up and prosecuting horse thieves. Unbranded strays might be sold and the funds used as might be determined by the assocint- ton. As the matter stands now, there is little or no chance for to recover strays; and there are at the present moment no small number of unclaim- od horses in the Territory, nuder this system roughly sketched, would be clained and recovered by their res- poective owners. The object of the as- sociation should be briefly these. 1. To organizo round ups on differ- out ranges. 2. To endeavor by combined action to check horse stealing, which is now so prevalent. 3. To endeavor to improve the breed of horses in the Territory. A SulinarllRe 'ITerror.

Feb. 6, 188R . V Congress is nothing if not slow. It T professes. and no doubt with sincerity, its eagerness to get to business. It tU complains of the multiplicntion of g perpllexing problems. It complains, 1 and with justice. too, of the matters 1 to uhicl certain of its inembers insist it on calling its attention. Still it can s he led into fillihustering all night, I until 2 o'clock in ithe morning, rather tl than face a troublesome question. y The friends of the bankruptcy bill y were in the majority the other day A when the bill was before the House ii and voted down every motion to ad- ii journ. The attendance of members I was large at the beginning of the f struggle, but one member after an- c other stole quietly away, until only ti about one-third of the House was v present. Midnight came and still t there was no prospect of adjournment. I1 The usual reenes attending a night session were enacted, the time being 1 most occupied with roll calls follow- ti ing motions to adjourn, while the dila- t tory 1;roceedings wore di\orsified with I luter, fun and personalties. Mr. p Springer of Illinois asked to have the rules suspended and a very little bill I passed for the benetit of his constitu- ents. Mr. White, of Kentucky, ob- I jected. "I know some crank would < object to this," said Mr. Springer. I \ Whereupon Mr. White went into a I wI hite rage. Fillibustering continued I f upon various motions, and finally Mr. Hiscock asked "What can we accom- c - lish ?' "You know it is impossible to I accomplish anything." Mr. Collins r I retorted that all things were possible i 4 in a sensible assembly. Another hour r had dralgged its slow length along I and the friends of the bankruptcy bill succeeded, after many efforts, in having a call for the House ordered. 4 u The sergeant-at-arms sent his deputies I r forth through the city, in search of t truant Congr7essmen, and first one - batch and then another was brought Sin to give an account of his absence. The same threadbare excuses, which - have done duty on similar occasions for years, were offered. They were as usual grseted with bursts of deri- - sive laughter, but wore in every case deemed satisfactory. Thle new re- cruits voted, of course, for the next v motion to adjourn and carried it. It cannot be denied that. Congress e has beoen worshiping thie rising rather than the setting sun in its "do nothing policy." Not knowing Mr. Clove- land's views on certain important i questions and fearful of embarrassing v himi by act!ion, the nmuj,,r~ty has sought 1 sarety ill inalctiol. There will be no further seelusion or repose on Mr. Cleveland's lart, however, LandI from this time on his infinlnCe will be felt O In legislation.

There is t popular impression that re- ahtionship or acquaintanceship with a legislator is nut the highest qualitlea- tion for an embryo nalvigator. It is thougl.t possible that among ia dozen apliclants in a district the one who could p.:ss the best examination might prove worthy of the applointment, more so than the one who could bring the most pressure to bear upon the member of Congress. Owing to the part takoen y the. Iev.

It wlasi a fair one as to numbers, but wais lot overflowillg, altd there waxs a largo ilumber of DLeiocraltic Repronltea- tives and Senators presellt.

Taylor is the father of Mrs. W. C. Swett and uncle of Mr. Chas. Taylor of this place: "Mr. A. B. Taylor, of Helena, Mion- t tana, has been for the past week the e guest of his brother and sister, Mr. I E. B. Taylor and Mrs. D. Bishop. Mr. Taylor, when a young man, ras a resident of Wanttsburg, but having an spirit of enterprise went west, and has pushed on from what wits then the far west, Chicago, spending a few years in Rockf rd, and for the past 20 years has baen a resident of Helena, I Montana. He left hero in 1844, and' i in 40 years notes many changes both I in place and inhabitants. He has een his present home, Helena, develop from two or three log cabins to a city of 10.000 inhabitants, and the state- mnent has often appoeard in print, the I wealthiest city, according to popula tion, in.the United States. The city has 1now Methodist, Presbyterian. 4 Congregational, Episcopal, Christian. Baptist, Catholic churches, four banks and other business places in propor- tion. They have now the Northern Pacific railroad, completed a year or so ago., which gives them tin outlook most. convenient. The winters of Montana are long, but the atmosphere i. so dry that 300 and even 40 0 be- low zero is more endurable than 100 or 150 here with our damp atmos- phere. Mr. Taylor left Helena Janu- ary 1st, and has visited the Now Or- leans Exposition, leaving the south Jan. 22d. He experienced quito a change coming from there to our 18 o below zero. As he left the city he saw thcm putting out cabbage plants, and making gardens. He speaks most favorably of the Exposition, the ex- hibits fromn States and Territories be- ing fine. Facilities for getting to and from the grounds ample. The great- e. t trouble one would experience is i that it is too much to comprehend. S1et thinks it a great mistake if poo- ple do not put forth an effort to see t the exhibition." A horse which crossed the plains in 1871, is dead.-- Inter-Mountain. Thalt's nothing to marvel at; we know y' a mran and a boy and a brindle ox tw who all crossed the plains in 1871, hi fand the whole outfit is too dead. The man wore the rope go at a necktie sociable, the boy ey went into the cattlo bnuiness with the au brindle ox and a branding iron as a lot starter. After a while thoold ox died, uint not before the boy had grown to mans estate and got the mortal cinch ai on prosperit y, a year or two later ox the local papors began to speak of be him as the Cattle King of T'atnmago tl mhlo Valley. From that time on until the day of his den h (for he is dead now) he did all in his power to dis- countanance the "ono ox and brand- s ing iron racket." He went to New H Orleans to see the big show this win- tor, and only ycstorcay we recieved the siad tidings of his somwhat ab- rupt removal from this the oerthly range of his ulsefiullons He, in a moto- et ent absent-mindednoss had trod on the bunoned too of the very man from C whom lhe and the man had stolen the brindle ox, on the plains in 1871. With an oath, the man of the bun- ioned toe, dragged a huge knife from its sheanth, which hung from his back shirt collar button, down his back tl honeath his outer garments. and ft plunged it with great energy into our friends body in the region of the ft hip pockets, killing him instantly. ti So as the brindle ox was the tirt In cause of his wealth so it was at last w the cause of his death.

The county is about the only form of local govern- mont and organization we have except in a few larger places, where city or- gauization has been rather prematureF ly introduced. Counties shold be 'of. such convenient size that a person could go to the county and home a- gain in a day from any part' of it. There the courts are held and the records are kept, in which every eit- izen is directly and and personally in-. torested. There is danger, of course, that subdivision may be carried to x- coss. Such charge can hardly be born out in any of the chahges contemplat. ed in Montuna. Our own county is" one of the smallest, and yet we do, not wonder or complain that the pet- want a county organization of their own, nor do we asporub the motives of those urging the measure by chargihg ' that it is all in the interest of the town of Sun River. OBut how about thonow offices cre-. ated and the new buildingsrequired? These will certainly in the aggr~ o 'o f increase expenses and taxation. "Fdr instance, there is the county 'of 'Mis- soula, half as largo as New York and three times as large as Massachusetts. It is virtually insolvent and nevrr, ,of late years, has raised enough by tra. ation to reduce t it indebtednees. IZt looks asif it would be utter ruin to to try to carry three sets of county a officers and mantain three now county seats. It may be stated as a general truth that it is not the size of a tax t that maker it heavy, but the consider. ation whether the money goesto gen -: - oral profit. If spent for what people I can see and feel and have the benefit of, they do not complain, Missoula s divided into three counties will with., 1. in three years represent an eagregate of wealth and enterprise very much' o greater than if it all remained id one• It will foster local pride, energy and' enterprise. The increase of popimla- tion is going to be greater in three' years to come than it has been in' the" twenty past years. At first it may hurt Missonla some, but ten years from now it will be looked'upon as a'. general benefit, There is much mon- ey spent now that seems, to do no .one: Sany good. We would rather have a. log building for a court house than to , live in continual jealousy and roerir Smination, It is very evident that smaller salaries, reduced fees and less expensive court house; and jails must' be provided for, and for the rest the people of the new counties will' hold' t the purse strings;, d There could be tid more counties in Montana and each of them be of the size of the State of Massachusetts.~- Helena Herald.

The Villautcs of lT-day. tA detective who has been engaged li
in unearthing the doings of the vigi- 'Ilantes in the Musselshell country has areturned and gives his report on themethods pursued by those who have IIbeen scouring the north range forcattle and horse thieves. He says: vSThe New York correspondent gave Itvivid description of the methods ofthe vigilantes in Northern Montana,but many of his statements were or Ireneous. In the Munselshell regioni.e yields of the herds for severalyears fallen off greatly on account ofthe ahnlmost wholesale stealing of stock. ITo deal with this matter according to 1legal methods was out of the ques-tion, and the cattle owners of that re-gion determined to test the questionas to who were to have supremacy,he men who were doing a legitimate
basiness or the raiders who were sweating their neighbors. The so-called vigilantes are composed of themost reliable and square moen in thecountry. The thieves they capturedwere not summarily hung, as said bythe Sun. but went through a regulartrial. Reliable witnebses testified asto the character and occupation ofeach, and when the charge was provedthe culprit went up the line. Aecomn-plices in the work of raiding werepronounced equally guilty and wentpti with the rest. About twenty-six
were thus disposed of in that district.The vigilantes claim that it was onlyafter careful consideration that theytook this course, and now, being thor-mghly organized and having their
hand in, the business of stock stealingin the Musselshell valley is attendedwith danger. Of course, several werehA.nged on general principles, buttheir record was very dark. Most ofthe vigilante work was carried onabs,ve the confluence of the Mussel-shell with the Missouri.
Husinesn at tle White (louse.One of the leading secretaries at
White House tells inme that the busi-nass of the oexecutive has incrensedlargely since the days of Lincoln andGrant. "Up until the time of HIztay,."says he. "hardly a scrap of papller waskept here to show what thel Presidentdii or why he did it. Now we kep aIrecord of everything iand we mak it apoint of answering every letter. Note,:are kept of the contents of all impor-t ott letters received, and by our re-crjds here, in case of an appointtnmet,.re can tell just why and upon whoserecommendation the appointimant wat:muade. In ease the appointee turnsout badly the President is relieved ofthe blame and it is thrown upon thosewho recommended him.
We receive a great many lettersthat should go to the various depart-ments. Some poor woman it t dis-tant part of the country wtlnts a pet-sion. She does not know anLythingabout the 1:eusiott bureau, and theo:uly person mt tLe government wit.hwhom llhe is acquainted is the PI'rsident. She writes to hint. Of cour.seher letter is referred by us to the poll-sion office, and it is thi esatoe withother letters of the same classn.

Why should labor tll; the worldwith wealth lnd live in want'
Every aInbor-saving machine shouldhelp the whole world. Every oneshould tend to shorten the hours oflanbor.

Ilirsenmen's Assocutlon.A horsenoans association, formed as
other stock associations, should organ-ize regular sytemnatic round-ups inthe different districts, to commenceabout the same time. That eachround-up should hold all brandedstrays found during a iround-up in apasture, or herd, for one mouth, d r-ing which time they should be adver-tised in all the local papers. Theround-up could lix a price, of say $5for onach horse so claimed, whichwould pay all expenses of pasturingand advertising. In this way horse-men would have a chance of recover-ing strays. Any surplus moneymight go towards forming a fundfor building corrals in suitable placesand for following up and prosecutinghorse thieves. Unbranded straysmight be sold and the funds used asmight be determined by the assocint-ton. As the matter stands now, thereis little or no chance for to recoverstrays; and there are at the presentmoment no small number of unclaim-od horses in the Territory, nuder thissystem roughly sketched, would beclained and recovered by their res-poective owners. The object of the as-sociation should be briefly these.
1. To organizo round ups on differ-out ranges.
2. To endeavor by combined actionto check horse stealing, which is nowso prevalent.
3. To endeavor to improve thebreed of horses in the Territory.

WASHINGITON LETTER.
(From our Rcgulnr Corresportleat.] :JWAsmlIxoTo. Feb. 6, 188R . V
Congress is nothing if not slow. It Tprofesses. and no doubt with sincerity,its eagerness to get to business. It tUcomplains of the multiplicntion of gperpllexing problems. It complains, 1and with justice. too, of the matters 1to uhicl certain of its inembers insist iton calling its attention. Still it can she led into fillihustering all night, Iuntil 2 o'clock in ithe morning, rather tlthan face a troublesome question. yThe friends of the bankruptcy bill ywere in the majority the other day Awhen the bill was before the House iiand voted down every motion to ad- iijourn. The attendance of members Iwas large at the beginning of the fstruggle, but one member after an- cother stole quietly away, until only tiabout one-third of the House was vpresent. Midnight came and still tthere was no prospect of adjournment. I1The usual reenes attending a nightsession were enacted, the time being 1most occupied with roll calls follow- tiing motions to adjourn, while the dila- ttory 1;roceedings wore di\orsified with Iluter, fun and personalties. Mr. pSpringer of Illinois asked to have therules suspended and a very little bill I
passed for the benetit of his constitu-ents. Mr. White, of Kentucky, ob- Ijected. "I know some crank would <object to this," said Mr. Springer. I\ Whereupon Mr. White went into a I
wI hite rage. Fillibustering continued If upon various motions, and finally Mr.
Hiscock asked "What can we accom- c
- lish ?' "You know it is impossible to Iaccomplish anything." Mr. Collins r
I retorted that all things were possible i
4 in a sensible assembly. Another hourr had dralgged its slow length along I
and the friends of the bankruptcybill succeeded, after many efforts, inhaving a call for the House ordered. 4u The sergeant-at-arms sent his deputies Ir forth through the city, in search oft truant Congr7essmen, and first one
- batch and then another was broughtSin to give an account of his absence.The same threadbare excuses, which-have done duty on similar occasionsfor years, were offered. They wereas usual grseted with bursts of deri-
- sive laughter, but wore in every casedeemed satisfactory. Thle new re-
cruits voted, of course, for the nextv motion to adjourn and carried it.
It cannot be denied that. Congresse has beoen worshiping thie rising rather
than the setting sun in its "do nothingpolicy." Not knowing Mr. Clove-land's views on certain important
i questions and fearful of embarrassingv himi by act!ion, the nmuj,,r~ty has sought

more so than the one who could bringthe most pressure to bear upon themember of Congress.

The following appears in the Senti-nol (Wattsburg, Pa.) of February 5th.Mr. A. B. Taylor is the father of Mrs.W. C. Swett and uncle of Mr. Chas.Taylor of this place:
"Mr. A. B. Taylor, of Helena, Mion- ttana, has been for the past week the e
guest of his brother and sister, Mr. IE. B. Taylor and Mrs. D. Bishop.Mr. Taylor, when a young man, ras aresident of Wanttsburg, but having anspirit of enterprise went west, andhas pushed on from what wits thenthe far west, Chicago, spending a fewyears in Rockf rd, and for the past 20years has baen a resident of Helena, IMontana. He left hero in 1844, and' iin 40 years notes many changes both Iin place and inhabitants. He has eenhis present home, Helena, developfrom two or three log cabins to a cityof 10.000 inhabitants, and the state-mnent has often appoeard in print, the Iwealthiest city, according to population, in.the United States. The cityhas 1now Methodist, Presbyterian. 4
Congregational, Episcopal, Christian.Baptist, Catholic churches, four banksand other business places in propor-tion. They have now the NorthernPacific railroad, completed a year orso ago., which gives them tin outlookmost. convenient. The winters ofMontana are long, but the atmospherei. so dry that 300 and even 40 0 be-low zero is more endurable than 100or 150 here with our damp atmos-phere. Mr. Taylor left Helena Janu-ary 1st, and has visited the Now Or-leans Exposition, leaving the southJan. 22d. He experienced quito achange coming from there to our 18 obelow zero. As he left the city hesaw thcm putting out cabbage plants,and making gardens. He speaks mostfavorably of the Exposition, the ex-hibits fromn States and Territories be-ing fine. Facilities for getting to andfrom the grounds ample. The great-e. t trouble one would experience isi that it is too much to comprehend.S1et thinks it a great mistake if poo-
ple do not put forth an effort to seet the exhibition."
A horse which crossed the plains in1871, is dead.-- Inter-Mountain.Thalt's nothing to marvel at; we know y'a mran and a boy and a brindle ox twwho all crossed the plains in 1871, hifand the whole outfit is too dead.The man wore the rope goat a necktie sociable, the boy eywent into the cattlo bnuiness with the aubrindle ox and a branding iron as a lotstarter. After a while thoold ox died,uint not before the boy had grown to
mans estate and got the mortal cinch aion prosperit y, a year or two later oxthe local papors began to speak of behim as the Cattle King of T'atnmago tlmhlo Valley. From that time on untilthe day of his den h (for he is deadnow) he did all in his power to dis-countanance the "ono ox and brand- sing iron racket." He went to New HOrleans to see the big show this win-tor, and only ycstorcay we recievedthe siad tidings of his somwhat ab-rupt removal from this the oerthlyrange of his ulsefiullons He, in a moto- etent absent-mindednoss had trod onthe bunoned too of the very man from Cwhom lhe and the man had stolen thebrindle ox, on the plains in 1871.With an oath, the man of the bun-ioned toe, dragged a huge knife fromits sheanth, which hung from his backshirt collar button, down his back tlhoneath his outer garments. and ftplunged it with great energy intoour friends body in the region of the fthip pockets, killing him instantly. ti
So as the brindle ox was the tirt Incause of his wealth so it was at last wthe cause of his death. Indeed truth d,is strangter than fiction-

NEW (CJiNTjii4 .
We have always advocated the pro-.•pricty of cutting up our larger coun.ties into smaller ones. The county isabout the only form of local govern-mont and organization we have exceptin a few larger places, where city or-gauization has been rather prematureFly introduced. Counties shold be 'of.such convenient size that a personcould go to the county and home a-gain in a day from any part' of it.There the courts are held and therecords are kept, in which every eit-izen is directly and and personally in-.torested. There is danger, of course,that subdivision may be carried to x-coss. Such charge can hardly be bornout in any of the chahges contemplat.ed in Montuna. Our own county is"one of the smallest, and yet we do,not wonder or complain that the pet-want a county organization of theirown, nor do we asporub the motives ofthose urging the measure by chargihg 'that it is all in the interest of the townof Sun River.
OBut how about thonow offices cre-.ated and the new buildingsrequired?These will certainly in the aggr~ o 'of increase expenses and taxation. "Fdrinstance, there is the county 'of 'Mis-soula, half as largo as New York andthree times as large as Massachusetts.It is virtually insolvent and nevrr, ,oflate years, has raised enough by tra.ation to reduce t it indebtednees.
