THE MINERAL LANDQUEsTuoN.

A series of letters by Judge ii. p. A.
Smith, which have appeared in the Ga
zette, contain some valuable suggestions
on the Mineral Land Law and the
causes OF the difficulty in securing pat
ents. The writer goes farther than we
did in his approval of the Mineral Land
Act. He says "the only difficulty in
carrying out the law. is in the construc-
tion placed upon il by Mr.. Wilson: "
and again, ''the only amendments to the
Mineral Land Law needed. are such as
will direct the Commissioner how to
act" In an article on the subject we
stated that 'the unsatisfactory work
ings of the law were almost wholly at
tributabIe to the Commissioners in
structions," which statement met with
the assertion from Professor Keyes that
lin his Judgment, we seemed to throw
too much blame on the Commissioner, ("
and, in a previous article. he pronounced
the law vicious" ''inexpedient," etc.
Mr.. Foote declared the law generally
looked upon with favor" Mr.. O'Bannon
that "its workings were unsatisfactory. .
There is a remarkable conflict of opin-
ion on this matter as expressed through

tion. and conversation with parties con-

, HELENA LIBRARY ASSOCIAs
TION.

The mind of mau is this worlds true dimension;
And knowledge is the measure of the mind.
We have heretofore adverted only in
our local columns To- the institution of
the Helena Library Association. Regar-
ding it as one of the great influences for
good; contemplating not merely local
advantages, but general, benelicent and
far reaching in its character; worthy of
fostering care from our citizens and gen
erous encouragement from the entire
Territory, we deem it entitled to further
notice and the consideration of all Mon
tanians. In that department in which
Helena is more especially interested. il
has received u support not hoped for
even by it's most sanguine friends.
Small and comparatively transient as
tins community is; bearing the reputa>
ton common to all mining camps of be-
ing a non>reading people; subjected to
continuous opportunities for public and
private enterprises, and charitable gifts,
it was with solicitude if not misgivings
that its friends appealed to our people
for support of an institution requiring
many thousands of dollars to establish
it upon a firm, enduring basis, and give
it that prominent attractiveness requis-
ite to success. In two weeks il has de-
veloped from an idea into an institution
that is ''the pride of the city" The
Rooms in the Whitlat:h Building are the
most attractive in the city; over five
hundred volumes, including standard
authors in every branch of the arts. sci~
ences and Belle Lettres. many of them
rare and valuable, have been contributed
by citizens and adorn it's shelves; it's ta-
bles are covered with the current peri.
odicals of the day; nearly one hundred
of the magazines, reviews and leading
journals of this country and Europe have
been subscribed for, and 5000 is yet at
the order o. the Board of TT to be
expended this winter in the east, in the
procurement of books. This is the i'm :
pulsive. voluntary work of our citizens
an act that rebounds TO their credit, and
the good effect of which will reach far
beyond the limit of their lives and the
confines of Montana.

quite an Honorable notoriety for the accu

which he managed bis cases. A year ago

were remarkable for their elearness, pointed

OPPOSITION TO Dun FREE BRIDGE.

Another letter from our Washington cor.
respondent this morning, informs us tina,
spencer Robinson's agent is hard at work
to defeat the bridge. The following extract
from his letter of the 18th, says:
"He Van Wyek) said that he had a nb;ll,,
which Capt. Robinson had prepared and left
with HIM; that he Van Wyckl had confer'
red with Mr.. Morrill,, and that he fMnrr;In
had agreed to defeat the passage OF the Holm,
Resolution now before the Senate Ia conv
of which sent you'll when it came up for
action.
II went to Senator Trumbull and posted
him, and he promised to attend to in.
will further watch the Joint Resolution now
before the Senate and advise you as events
progress" ah sr+ ~ 49E
The public can perceive, from the forego
ing, that the opposition to the bridge is
strong and systematized = that Spencer &
Robinson's money is doing its work, and
that there is danger that the ferry monopoly
will be able (by the base means it is using
to defeat the bridge.
Our petitions should be forwarded to Sen
ator Trumbull, without delay; also be should
be furnished with copies Of the resolutions

DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES.

The radical candidates on the state ticket
are so little known that few Of their papers
get their names correct, as viii be seen by
the following from the Chicago Post;
1t is well to start right. We, therefore,
suggest that the republican executive com.
mittee of Illinois cause the general state and
electoral tickets to be officially communicat-
ed, by circular, to all republican editors,
with request 10 correct errors and secure
uniformity. We are reminded of the neces-
sity for this by comparing the tickets as
published in three leading papers, two of
which are edited by members of the state
