GEOLOGICAL SURVEY,

Besides doing itself infinite honor in
unrelentingly strangling the divorce
bills passed by .he Council, the House on
Thursday, indefinitely postponed the
Council Bill creating the office of Terri
torial Geologist, and making an appro-
priation of ten thousand dollars payable
in Territorial bonds, drawing fifteen per
cent. interest, payable semi-annually.
Recognizing the advantages that would
accrue from a survey of this character, il
made by q competent and honest geolo-
gist, we believe the House has put itself
right on the record in refusing
to sanction this Bill. The
$4,000 for a superficial survey, would
be but the commencement of q heavy
and continuous drain upon the depleted
Treasury that would not be stopped for
many years. We have NO disposition
to bring into prominence the induces
ments for reporting tor the benefit OF in,
dividuals by local appointees. The in
adequacy Of means to the end proposed,
the additional debt it would saddle upon
the Territory, and the fact that the OBJ
ject may be as surely and more satisfac.
torily attained without expense to the
Territory are sufficient reasons for ap-
proving the action of the House. In
the early part of the session We called
attention to the War Department Sur.
veying Corps now in Utah, the desire
OF Mr.. King. the principal officer, to in-
clude Montana In his report, and the
manner in which its services might be
secured. This Ne believed then, and
believe now. 10 an opportunity that folly
only would neglect. We notice the pas
sage Of n memorial to Congress on this
subject. and trust it is TO that purpose.

INDIANA SENATOR.

The Indiana SDnatorship WAS very
much like the Governorship Of Nom
tana. many aspirants. and only one Of
flee. The dispatches state that Hon.
Will Cumback. of Greensburgh, Lieut..
Governor elect. was nominated on
Thursday evening in the Republican
caucus, to succeed Hendricks. He will
feel the qualification of winning in a
contest wherein were contestants the
ablest men OF the State. Among those
opposed to him. as We notice in the
Chicago Tribune. were Hon. r. W..
Thompson, known as Colonel Dick,
who made the great speech for Coltax
in the Chicago Convention; Hon. Il. :.
Orth. of Lafayette: John ID. Defrees.
late Superintendent of Government
Printing. and Hon. Daniel ID. Pratt, of
the Logansport District. Mr. Cumback
is endorsed as brilliant. eloquent and
scholarly orator, man of indomitable
will and energy. selfpoised. and true TO
the core politically. We rejoice in the
prospect of such successor To Mr..
Hendricks, a very good cat of very
bad kind.

century but he Turks existet, some cen.

Pomeroy school. Matt Carpenter has
