CROW RESERVATION.

Major Maginnis te.egraphed on the 9ih
Of March, from Washington. that the
President had revoked Ia order extend-
iLg the Crow Kesery.. IN North OF the
Yellowstone. This was done in obedi-
ence to the large remonstrance sent from
this place last fa.l. We are much pleased
at this action of the Presi dent, and Major
Maginnis deserves the gratitude OF the
people of this section for bis Efforts ~
this revocation. The contlnl-
ance Of the order would have been very

Louisiana

Hon. John @. A. Fellows, of New Or
leans, La, is in town on brief visit, the
guest OF his son-in-law, MIR. Augustus Bar
rows. Mr.. Fellows gives very gloomy
.ccount of the condition of affairs in
Louisiana. The democrats throughout the
tate are armed, drilled and organized, and
will do all they can by intimidation and
violence to deprive republican voters OF
heir elective franchise and secure the state
tor Tiden and reform" One democrat
penly asserted that his party would carry

men, In the northern part of the state
PARTICULARLY, reign of terror exists Many
republicans are driven from their homes
oy threats of violence others are forced
TO promise to vote the democratic
ticket; all stand IN fear of their lives and
liberty of speech is an unknown thing. On
fair vote the state is republican by about
fifteen thousand majority, but the demo-
Gratis hope to overcome this by the means
above indicated. United States Marshal
Pitkin, whose counsel Mr.. Fellows is, how
ever, acting under the recent instructions
from Attorney General Taft, is making ar
rangements to have the voting places
guarded by United States troops, as far as
possible, and thus prevent bloodshed. But
that there will be violence before and at the
election there is but little doubt. Mr.. Eel
lows has long been an eminent lawyer and
citizen of Louisiana and knows whereof he
speaks; and we may add that he has him
self several times narrowly escaped assas-
sinaion on account of his political views.

Grafton of coal We say congenial, be-
causc the gigantic moneyed corporations
which heretofore arbitrarily dictated the
prices of coal, have at last overreached
themselves, the combination has been
broken into fragmentary pieces, and the
the long-sufiering consumers. The col
lapse of this monstrous monopoly is another
illustration of the fact that artificial means
cannot long retard the operation of the
natural laws of trade. Supply and demand
are eventually self-regulsting, aud abnor-
NAL conditions must necessarily by transit
tory. The coal trade at present IS in
state of utter Generalization, and 1t would
be hazardous to venture vaticination in
regard to the rates which will rule during
the coming winter. A careful survey of
me market, however, gives little promise
OF further reduction in prices, and clt-
zens who have already purchased their sup

The Speakership.

The name of w. G. French, esq, of
Woodstock, is favorably mentioned in that
section of the state, in connection with the
speakership. Mr.. French is lawyer of
decided ability, and we do not doubt his
fitness for the Office of speaker. We sup
pose that Hon. Jed p. Ladd is still in the
field, and he will receive considerable sup
port in this part of the state. Hon. +. Il.
Woodbridge OF Vergennes and ]. X. Batch
elder of Arlington are understood to be at
work, and Hugh Henry of Chester is also
making an effort to secure the much coveted
position. But II the claim of the east side
of the state to the Office this year is al.
lowed, Hon. Burnham Martin of Chelsea
will probably carry off the prize unless he
declinest the honor.-St. Adams Messenger.
