FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
; THE BANNER COUNTY.


I'm the late election for Delegate to Con
gress, Galatin county proved to be the
banner county in this Territory, having
given the largest Democratic majority fol-
Martin Msginnis. This is what we urged
upon The Democrats to accomplish before
the election. and they have molly performed
The work. All honor to the gentlemen who
labored so vigorously to bring about this
glorious result. The Democrats OF Gallatin
are true ms steel, and devoted to the time
honored principles of the party.
Another fact shows itself upon an exam
iliatlon OF the returns from tile counties of
the Territory. Whilst every other county
shows a diminished vote as compared With
The vote Of 1871, when Clagett and Toele
were the candidates, Gailatin exhibits an
saerease. 1t is evident that this county is
regularly increasing. in population, and that
Immigration Is tending in this direction.-

Of the publishers of Montana meeting at

OF organizing an association, andstransactiuy
anv business when might come before II.
We are satisfied that such meeting would
result In much good to the business In the
territory. We have never had anything like
uniform price for advertising or lob work.
and the consequences have been not only detri-
mental to the trade but embarrassing to some
publishers. Another serious drawback TO
any one publisher maintaining a uniform
Scale of prices. and competing with the other
papers of the Territory, is the fact that some
OF our contemporaries do not conform to their
Sdyertlsed rates. and these not publishing
their rates take advertisements apparently
at any price they can get. We know this to
: DC the case, because we have recently had
propositions from advertisers to insert their
advertisements. and have failed to get them
on account of our prices being too high.

rates OF any other paper in tss Territory
Notwithstanding these same papers got the |
advertisements refused us; and we have been !
infor".ed by some of the advertisers that they I
took them at a less figure than was offered
by us.
when we commenced the publication of I

sity of a reduction in both the price of SUBJ
scription and advertising in the Territory.

OF other publishers by reducing the price Of

the price for advertising m like proportion.

CHICAGO, August 81.
The collapse in the great corner in wheat

Interest in commercial circles. No such day
as yesterday has ever before been seen In tile
Chicago grain trade. The breaking of the
corner brought down not only the origina-

The extent of the list of failures cannot be
ascertained at present, owing to the chaotic
condition OF affairs, but that it will include
some of the best known and heaviest firms

COL. ROBERTS ON THE INDIAN
QUESTION.

| Col. w. Minor Roberts, in a letter to tho
Pittsburg Commercial, scouts the idea Of
| danger to be unprecedented from tho hostile
manifestations of Indians, and attributes the
demand for troops to interested motives,
The recent attack on Col, j. A. Hayden
surveying party on the Yellowstone. and
the present hostile attitude OF the Indians
will, doubtless, induce the Col. to concede
that the alarms spoken of are something
more than the interested outcries of stspecu-
lalive frentiersmen.'' The following is an
extract from the letter referred to.
The newspaper stories about Indians and
danger from them to the railroad across Da-
kota have no solid foundation In fact. The
Indian situation so far as the Northern Pa
CHIC Railroad Is concerned, is this: AS far
west as the Missouri river the question is
settled, and no danger need be apprehended.
Our men travel all over the country between
the Red and Missouri rivers by iay and bv

troops at the DANES and Missouri rivers will

Gold and Silver.

10 an article on gold and silver, DR.
Mackenzie gives us the following items:
One may easily imagine how metallic
money, or coin, becomes diminished in

be realized by recollecting how much

as "levies" and "fps," used to be.

years ago, and the constant wear and

oft-times, to the thinness of Bit Of tin.

4 case recently tried before the
Clonmsl (Irish) AssiEes was brought 10
a asinguIar and novel termination By the
presiding Judge. The parties in the
ease were young mau and young
woman, both of whom claimed posses
sion Of rural property, one by virtue
of an ancient lease, aud the other under
will. They were in court for the pur-
pose Of giving their testimony, when a
bright idea occurred to the Judge, who
interrupted the case to say;
at just strikes me that there is q
pleasant aud easy way to terminate this
law suit, The plaintiff appears to be a
respectable young man, aud this IS a
very nice young woman. [Loughter. ]
They can both get married and live
happy on this farm. If they go on with
law proceedings il will be all FILTERED
away between the lawyers, who, ! am
sure, are not uugaliant enough TO wish
the marriage may not come of,
The young lady, on being ipterroga;
ted, blushed, and said she was quito
willing 10 marry the plaintiff The
latter, on being asked ifhe would wed
the young woman, galiantiy responded,
"Most undoubtedly" The Judge re-
marked that the suggestion occurred 10
him by instinct on seeing the young
couple. A verdict was consequently
entered for plaintiff on condition Of his
promise to marry defendant vithia two
months, stay Of execution being put
onthe verdict till the marriage ceremony
is completed.

The Bamboo and its Uses.

This is one Of Che most useful plants.

They rear it from shoots and suckers.
There are about sixty varieties Of il,
but the yellow species is the most com
mon. The tender shoots are cultivated
for food, aud are, when four or Eve in
ches high, boiled, picked aed eomfted.
The roots are carved into fantastic i'm
ages Of men, birds, monkeys, or cut iu-
to lantern handles and canes or turned
into oval sticks for worshippers.
They are used for all purposes that
poles eau be applied to, 10 carrying.
supporting, propelling and measuring,
by the carpenter and the boatman; for
the joists Of houses and the ribs Of sails,

ducts, and the handles aud ribs Of am
breilas aud fans. The leaves are sewed
upon cords TO make rain cloaks, swept
iuto heaps to form manure, aud matted
iuto tha,ches to cover houses.
Cut into splits aud slivers OF various
sizes, the wood is worked into baskets
aud trays Of every form aud fancy, twis-
ted into cables, plated into awnings,
aud woven into mats for scenery Of the
theatre, the roofs Of boats, aud the eas-
ing Of goods. The shavings. even, are
picked iuto oakum, aud mixed with
those of rattan, to be stuffed into mat
tresses. The bamboo furnishes the bed
for sleeping and the couch for reclining,
the ehopsticks for eating, the pipe for
smoking, aud the flute for entertaining;
