late canvass, questions the integrity
Of our officials in the following style:
ut would, of course, have been
more gratifying to Us if the vote Of
Gallatin county had been counted in
the canvass, so that the official ma
ijority might have been mole decisive;
and, by the by, this is matter which
will bear a little Investigation. Has a
partlonable mistake occurred, or was it
q criminal blunder, superinduced by
the potent magic of Helena green
backs, that caused the rejection, by
the Board of canvassers, of the Cal
latin county vote ''for informality I"
The officials of this county stand high
in the estimation of the people, and |
would not rashly charge them with
malfeasance; but an increased bank
account is q strong temptation in these
money getting times, and it Will not
be labor thrown away to inquire into
the matter and find out where the
blame-or guilt, if any-rests, and II
guilt be found, to intlict exemplary
punishment upon the criminals"
The Board of Canvassers of this
county were all against approval, and
so voted. They are also men of un-
improbable integrity, and the unjusti-
fable insinuat1ons of "Veritas " are
in keeping with his whole contribution,
which is base SANDER Of the people
of this county, whom he wishes to de-
grade in the estimation Of the public
to his own debased level and that of
the paper for which he writes.

tai and social faculties. They tend to
lift the Granger from the position of a
mere machine to that of thinking
and social being.
The Grange, properly conducted, is
. practical agricultural scllool, in which
all are students and all teachers, thus
in this direction mutually helping
each other. The inquiries suggested
in the Grange lead to Investigations
and experiments on the farm and in
the farm house of q practical nature
that are often followed by good and
valuable results. They induce read
ing and research, and generally make
men and woman think more and rem
der it unnecessary to work with the
hands so hard, and still enable them
to get along in the world much bet
ter.
The Record. in speaking of the
operation of the Oranges in California,
says their great triumph promises to
be in the direct line of business. In
this direction they have already
helped each other in the aggregate
many million Of dollars, though it is
but little over year since the organi-
cation Of the order was perfected by
the establishment of the State Grange.
We think O,O0O, 900 would be a low
estimate of the financial benefits al
rea dy realized by the farmers Of the
State through the direct instrument
tally Of the Order; and when We look
into the future for benefits the plans
for securing which are already being
arranged and perfected, words and
figures will hardly express what may
be reasonably anticipated. The time
will come when the Changers will
control, through system of Grange
banks, the largest amount of the
money Of the State, and direct its en-
ployment in the building up of a large
circle of material industries heretofore
almost entirely neglected. The great
number of grain warehouses going up
this year, and the rapidity with which
they are being filled, show that the
farmers are helping each other in
way that staggers those who hereto
fore made immense fortunes off
the necessities of this now vigorous
class.
One million people in q country
like the United States, engaged in
the cultivation Of the soil, and own
ing the soil they cultivate, associat-
ed together for mutual protection and
is grand achievement of
itself, and with proper management
they can hardly fail to pretty effective
" help each other.

"GALLATIN SENDS GREETING,

A B0zeman correspondent of the
Montanian writing in regard to the
late Capital vote fraud, commences his
letter with the sentence heading this
article, which is about as great fraud

TERRITORIAL GRANGE.

Delegates from subordinate Oranges
will meet in Helena on Monday next,
for the purpose Of organizing Terri
torial Grange.
The Grange movement has made no
less rapid strides in the enrolment Of
members in this Territory than in the
old western States, and its power on
the Pacific coast is becoming daily
more apparent.
Its usefulness in this Territory is not
confined to the ennobling influences Of
the Lodge alone. It is tue they have
no railroad monopolies to fight in Mon
tana, but there are other elements Of
more i'ernicious character, which
rob not only the producers, but the
Government and its proteges, the In
dians. Through the means of the
Grange organization VIC expect to see
a desirable revolution in the matter of
furnishing supplies to the Indians Of
tile West. Foreign and home rings
will no longer be allowed to furnish
contracts In the mythical manner here
tofore enjoyed by these vultures who
have gobbled up Government appro-
priationS and stinted the Indians in
their just allowances.
The resolution published in connec-
ton with communication from lead
ing citizen Of Gallatin county in this
issue of the COURIER can be taken
as an index Of what may be expected
from the Grange in this matter. This
relates only to the Crow Agency, but
the Territorial Grange will take charge
Of the other agencies, and we may
look forward to different state of at
fairs in the management Of these. mat
tiers. The action Of the Changers is
likely to have salutary effect on the
Indians, whose disaffections may be
attributed in great measure to the
q ronto cnrtailinr and withholding the

Wheat.

There is good deal of speculation
among dealers in wheat, as well as
among farmers, az to whether the
nr;ce of wheat will rise or fall be-
tween now and the next harvest. II
one would have reliable data of the
amount on hand at the opening OF the
last harvest, the amount produced
this year, and the amount likely to be
in demand for consumption, it would
not be difficult to answer this ques-
ton. Without such data the answer
~ not so eapv. But there are 40 ne sta,
t;st,cs which can be relied on, and
which 60 far to enable one to answer
the question. The countries which
usually need more wheat than their
home productions have good crops
this year; 50 there will be no Europe

the English market, and even TINS
market will not need so much foreiSn,
wheat as usual on account OF I've good
home crop. The want winch Eng

the buyer cannot afford to ray more

this country should not be sold for eA-
port it will remain on hand to:depress
prices at home next year.
