IMPROVEMENT AND OPENING
OF NEW ROADS.

The Legislature of Montana will as
semble soon and it is to be hoped thai
members who go there will be pre-
pared to do something to promote the
welfare of the Territory. Now thai
the law authorizing extra compensa
ton is repealed, the expenses will be
reduced seme thirty thousand dollars
and the finances of the Territory viii
be in better condition, and the Legis
latnre should try to improve roads and
open up communication with impor
tant points. Now that it is intended
to make an effort to get goods into
Montana in the direction Of Mussel
shell and the Yellowstone, it is highly
important that good roads should be
made to both these rivers. They are
in our own Territory, and all done in
that direction viii be developing il
our own borders. The first Legisla
ture met in Montana in 1864,
nine years ago, and it does not occur
to us at this writing that dollar was
ever voted to road, or to q public
edifce; the people having paid taxes
to support the Territory, and there is
nething to showsfof it, except Ter
ritorial debt Of $15O, 900 created mostly
to pay extra compensation. We do
not care to discuss which Of the con-
trolling parties are responsible for this,
but it is crying shame and reflects
no credit on past Legislatures. Nine
years in existence and not . single
public improvement in Montana Gre
ated by the Legislature. tits time that
this mode of legislation should cease
and q beginning made to work for the
public good. The Legislature that is
to meet on the first Monday in Janu-
airy next, is composed of some Of the
ablest gentlemen in Montana, and who
are Identified with it's substantial in
terests, and We hope they viii be able
to devise ways and means by which
their legislation viii rebound in some
real advantage and benefit to all parts
Of our Territory. Montana must not
be permitted any longer to linger be-
hind her sister Territories in works Of
improvement. The men holding seats
in the present Legislature hold places
of great responsibility in this period of
our history, and they should come to
the performance Of their duties, with
a determination to do something that
will rebound to the advantage of the
people. They have it in their power
new era in Montana's
history and cause her to commence an
march in public Improvement.
Many of the present members have had
. good deal of legislative experience
md much is expected of chem. We
rust they will so act in their official
as to make their acts long to
20 remembered, for doing great good
% the Territory. 1t is Of the highest
that communication East
# us be opened up, and the Legisla-
ure should give all the aid they can
egitimately to enterprises that will ac-
omplish SO necessary and desirable
esult. We intend in future numbers
0 say something further on these
uestions.

STEALING COLLECTION PLATES.

About four weeks ago, at the conclu-
sion of the preparatory communion
services at Westminster church, in the
evening, the collection plates were in
their proper place. The sexton noticed
the attendance of a strange looking per-
son, but paid no attention to the matter.
When the building was closed, all re-
tired except the stranger, who secreted
himself, and then stealing the three col.
lection plates, escaped through window
in the lecture room. The loss was dis
covered next morning. The plates,
three in number, were heavily plated,
suitably inscribed, and were valued at
about sixty dollars. A man, answering
to the description of the one seen in the
church, was seen on the road to Newark
about two o'clock the next morning, by
policeman, and also by butcher who
was returning from Newark. The officer
noticed nothing strange in the actions
of the man, and supposed that he was
not warranted in making an arrest. The
thief had the property adroitly conceal
ed under his coat.
On Sunday, three boys, while gather
ing chestnuts in the woods between r.
vington and Newark, started on a run,
and stumbled over the plates. The boys
divided the property, each one taking a
plate. One of them made his discovery
known to his mother, and presented her
with a plate. She, domestic in the
employ Of Mr.. Oscar LOCKER, of New
ark, narrated to him the circumstance,
and it was with no difficulty that the
plates were obtain ed from the remaining
boys, and placed in the possession of
Mr.. LOCKER. He yesterday brought the
stolen property to this city, and placed
it in possession of Mr.. George G. Ford,

DISMISSAL OF OFFICERS.

sleeping on post. The taxpayers will
commend the resolutions of the commit
tee and the prompt action of council.
The people cannot afford TO pay drunken
policemen, for services which they are
unfit to render, nor can sleepy
heads" expect to draw pay while feath-
cred on the soft side of front door steps.
