The voters Of that portion Of Lewis
and Clarke and Choteau counties
comprising the Sun River valley
are in favor of a railroad. The
voters of this locality are also in
favor Of railroad. The people of
Sun River are Of opinion that the
subsidy should be granted. The
people Of this locality are ssstt7sotngly y
to granting the amountas
ed by their favorite road, the N. ?.
Further arguments, pro or con, is.
for the present useless. The votes
OF this section will be cast before
this issue reaches Sun River, and
any showing Of the grounds upon
which the people of this locality
base their opposition to agree to
the required increase of taxation
hat would be made would not aid
one particle in the soIuti on Of the
question.

RAILROAD.

On Monday next the much moot
ed railroad question will be decided
by the voice Of the people. Not
the question whether 4 railroad Is
desirable or needed, but the more
vital oneofwhether Montana can af-
ford to aid the construction Of a
railroad by issuing its credit to
the amount, nominally, Of three
million dollars, in reality to an
amount that will reach to about
twenty million dollars. The rail-
road question has been fully canvas
sed throughout the Territory. The
result shows, almost to q unit, that
Montana needs q railroad. The
question Of granting a subsidy or
gratuity to the Northern Pacific
Railroad has been fully discussed,
has received the closest cOnsldera- |
ton every feature that it present
ed ha7 been thoroughly scrutinized, |
the cost to the people Of the Terri
tory has been carefully estimated
and fully explained, the act which
authorizes the issue Of bonds has
been thoroughly ventilated and It's
imperfections laid bare. While the
desire for a railroad i general
throughout the Territory, and q
strong feeling exists towards aid
ing the Northern Pacific to d
reasonable extent, the majority Of
the counties Of Montana and the
majority Of the voters Of each coun-
y strongly oppose the granting Of
asubsidy or gratuity to the amount |
stated and upon what they deem
imperfect security.
This section is divided upon the |
subsidy question. The result Of
the election, however, will prove III. I
favorable to the N. r. subsidy le

ARMING THE SIOUX.

llshed in another column, concern
ing the furnishing Of arms and am
munltion to Sioux Indians BY trad.
ers from Carroll, is another strik.
ing illustration Of the worthless.
ness Of the present system Of man
aging Indian affairs. The present
military movement against the
Sioux Indians has been in contem-
plation for some months, and every
endeavor has been made by the
military commanders to shut off
the supply Of ammunition from
these Indians, and especially the
bands under the leadership Of Sit
ting Bull. The Indian Department
have, to all appearances, been act.
ing il harmony with the military
to that end. Prohibitory orders
and orders revoklng special per
mits to trade arms and ammuni-
ton have been issued to apply to
the traders at Fort Peck in.the II
clnity Of Sitting Bulls camp, and
to the traders on the reservation
Of the Gros Ventres, Assinabolng
and Grow Indians. At the former
place to prevent the Sioux from
being further supplied directly, at
the latter place lest they may OBJ
tain arms OF ammunition from those
of the tribes mentioned who might
prove friendly to that extent.

pose whatever, is move towards
obstructing the advance Of the

prospects of promoting the securi,
ty Of life and property of frontier
settlements.
The question of railroad subsidy
cannot be considered in the same
sense, nor viewed from the same
standpoint. Upon the benefit to
be derived from railroad communi
cation, without subsidy, via any
particular route, there Is a general
division Of opinion throughout the
Territory so far as the interests of
Montana are concerned. Every
section would be affected different
y the prospects Of some would be
materially enhanced, those OF Others
would IN no wise be encouraged.
As the question of railroads in It's
general phase admits Of such con-
eluslons being drawn, is it not
reasonable and consistent for any
section to oppose the construction
OF any line or lines Of railroad when
the same cannot be performed with
out entai!ing upon the people of
that section an enormous and un-
justifiable taxation ? And the con-
sistency Of advocating opposition
to subsidy is further justified when
such section, together with many
others in the Territory, would be
but slightly recompensed through
the benefit that it is claimed would
accrue from railroad. Upon these
grounds then it is evident that our
remarks upon railroad subsidy can
lot have any connection with our
'emarks upon local prejudice, &C.,
N the contrary, being distinct and
separate in their application they
must stand alonein the position in
which they are used. Were we
idyocating opposition to any line
