THE>CTRRENCY.

If Congress shall increase the vol
ume Of legal tenders to four hundred
millions great relief will be afforded
to the country and more particularly
the West. There. is fierce and de-
tcrmined opposition from holders of
bonds and moneyed capitalists. The
debtor class need additional circulation
Of money, and increased facilities for
obtaining it at reasonable rates. The
National banks have great advantages
as matters now stand and it IS possible
they are not very friendly to the idea
OF the Government making its own
money. The country has experienced
severe panic, and business has r.
ccived heavy blow. Something
should be done by the present Con-
grcss to afford relief. The House Of
Representatives. came forward very
promptly and passed the bill to in
crease the issue Of legal tenders and
give all people relief. From the recent
votes in the Senate, it looks as if that
body will concur with the House. If
this should be done there will be a de-
cidcd improvement i'll business at once.
Times will be much better, aud farm
products bear excellent prices.

4 NEW EP.RITER METROPOLIS


There is to be another new town on
the Upper Missouri, near the mouth
OF the Mnscleshell River, or what is
better known to river men as Little
KocEy. The embryo city has already
been laid out and named Carroll. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
Ind the Diamond Z. Freight Line Of
Montana arc the prorrietors Of this
new city in the wilderness. It is 10.
eatei about 500 miles Eas, Of Fort
Benton, by the river, and is only 25
miles further from Helena, than from
Benton. Carroll is surrounded by a
most picturesque country. Standing
III the center Of the town YOU can see
through a rift in the river bluffs the
blue chains Of the Rocky Mountains,
nifty miles distant. The country in
that vicinity is also heavily timbcred.
~ trading post was formerly there and
tile buildings are still in excellent prc.
Ssrvation. The Northern Pacific in.
tends to run a weekly line Of steamers
between Bismarck and Carroll to con.
meet with the overland Diamond R
Freight trains to ell points in the Ter
ritory. This new town is already at
tracing considerable attention among
mp river men, and no doubt it will bc
. lively place during the coming seas.

MONTANA POLITICS.

Just about now there appears to be
no political situation in this Territory
There is no marked division between
parties. True those holding Federal
offices have to be Republicans, and en-
deavor to keep up the name. Political
leaders Of the Democratic and Repub
lican parties as they existed some
years ago, arc now fraternizing and i
is difficult to discern (which from
tothcr.' The truth is, the same devo
ton to party does not exist in this
Territory as formerly. Political dis
tinctions are fast being wiped out, and
we anticipate that the approaching
August election will present some Gu
rious and interesting phases. There
will he lots of candidates for the office
Of Delegate in Congress, and Conven
tons will fare badly. The system is
perniciOus one and has resulted in nc
advantage to the interest Of Montana
We anticipate good 0ld-fashiOned
free fight this summer and many can
didates will be found fighting on Their
own hook. The same disruption o.
parties prevails in the States, and poll
tics are really at sea everywhere
The Republican party are variously
divided on the currency question. The
Democrats are in the same fix, and it
looks now that both Of the old 0rgani-
sations are going to pieces. President
Grant no longer has the confidence of
the party that elected him. He ap-
pears to act Independently on all ques-
tions, and certainly shows disposition
to act honestly and fairly in the adj
ministration Of public affairs. His
conduct in refusing to aid Governor
Davis of Texas in holding to the Office
Of Governor, after the people had de-
feated him and chosen another man,
was worthy Of the President of the
United States. There Wilt be new
and powerful party in the field at the
Presidential election in 1876. Newton
Booth, of California, stands out promi-
nently as the leader of this new Or
ganization, and his views and policy
appear to meet the demands of the
country. Great changes will take
place in political relations both in
Montana and throughout the Union in
the elections to be held this year and
the result will show strange bed-fel-
lows. Look out for the revolution and
don't be crushed under its wheels. Il

about 1000 Brule Sioux are at Spotted

the situation has been critical, bat that

THE YELLOWSTONE.

This region is attracting great deal
of attention ut this time. Its beauties
are beginning to be understood. Its
fruitful land, with rich valleys where
corn, vegetables and fruits can be pro
dttced without any difficulty. The
valleys of the Yellowstone are only
some 200 feet in most places above
the level of the sea, and are conse-
qucntly warm and pleasant. In some
respects the Yellowstone country re-
sembles in point of climate and pro-
duction Tennessee and Kentucky. We
look for a very large settlement in that
section this season, and if the Govern
ment should build the requisite forts
along the line Of the survey OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad this season,
and a mail run regularly between
Cheyenne and BOzeman, there is no
question the country will fill up rap
idly. 1t is the most desirable portion
Of Montana, and those who shall get
in there early will secure good homes,
and make their fortunes.
The Expedition that has gone in
that direction from this place will be
the pioneers, and by their energy and
pluck are doing a noble work. They
will, to a great extent, develop the
country, and show that it is practica-
+ BILE to go into that country and live.
The Secretary of the Interior seems to
have apprehended trouble with the
Indians on the part Of the Expedition.
Indians don't like to pitch into armed
mountain men. Very often they have
rather liked to see settlers and neigh
bors come in. In early days the Rocky
Mountains teemed with the men en-
ployed by the large fur companies, and
Indians never disturbed them. Indians
do not fancy soldiers passing through
their country. It excites warlike feel
ings, and for the mere fun and dash of
the thing, they pitch into them. It lis
their passion for war to attack warriors.
We do not think they have the same.
feeling for attacking expeditionswhose
business is peaceful. So far the Vel
lowstoae Expedition has had no trouble
with Indians, and we do not apprehend
they will. Afie1 they shall reach their
destination, and build block houses,
the Expedition will divide and separ-
ate into small prospecting parties, and
when so divided, will attract very little
attention from the Indians. So that
the Secretary Of the Interior need en-
terrain no tears on account of the tor
character of the Expedition. |
If the Indians are kept on their reser.
the expeditiOnists will not |
come i'll contact with them, and we
hope this viii he done, so that travel
will he safe and uninterrupted between |
Montana and the East. It is the duty
of the Government to afford an eastern |
outlet to Montana, and if they will
take care Of their Indians, and force
them to regard treaties made with
them, we shall have good roads very
soon to Cheyenne and Bismarck.

THE N. p. RAILROAD.

A correspondence, which has taken
place between Governor Potts and Mr..
Jay Cooke, in regard to Northern Pa
cific Railroad matters, almost c0nclu-
sively settles the route of the road
through Montana, or at least indicates
the route which had been settled upon
before the failure Of Jay Cooke & Co.
The Governor, writing for information,
explained to Mr.. Cooke hoW ulssafis-
factory and what great disadvantage
it was to the people Of Montana to be
still kept in doubt $ to the exact l0ca-
ton Of the read through the Territory;
that if it had been determined to locate
the route to- the North of Helena that
We would. be compelled to seek con-
nection with the Union or Central Pa
cific for convenience, as line SO far
north would not benefit the agricul-
tural and mining districts to any con-
siderable extent; that If Northern Pa
cific was to be constructed over the
line at first talked of, up the Yellow
stone, through the Gallatin, Jefferson
and Big Hole vallies and over the Deer
Lodge Pass, it would not only accom-
modate the people Of the Territory to
greater extent, but would give the
Company greater area Of arabic
lands. He urged the Company to push
the construction of the road from Bis
marck this way as ragidly as possible,
as long before it had reached our east
eFn settlements the immense shipments
Of beef cattle and the precious ores to
the east over the line would lend a
greater iRanence toward the rapid sale
Of the ComIsspy's bends than any
ether. item that could be brought to
bear. Mr.. Cooke, in reply, agreed with
the Governor that the route last men
toned waaald be- far the most favorable,
and said it was more than probable
that the Inc would be thus definitely
located some time during the coming
summer. Altogether, it may be in
ferred that, Notwithstanding the finan-
cial embarrassments of the Company,
Mr.. Cooke takes hopeful view of the
early completion of the road, and that
he has by no means lost heart in the
enterprise. There is no doubt in our
minds that the Company will bend
every nerve to pushing the road as far
toward settled Montana this summer as
possible, as upon their success in at
tracing Montana feightS and travel
over their line, depends to a great ex-
tent the profits of the road already
built and in operation. We sincerely
hope that Government aid will be fur
Their extended to complete the road to
q point where it will do somebody
some good; tar as, it is now it cannot
hope to divert any amount Of Montana
travel or freights, or. receive the bene-
fits that are so surely awaiting it by
the shipment Of beef and orr $500
We venture to say that were tie nd
noU finished to within 200 miles of |
Bozeman, and wagon route, protect |
ed from it's terminus to Bozeman, that |
there would be 50y000 head of beef
cattle go over the line this summer
