WE are pleased to learn that prospecting
for copper leads by G. A. kellogg, in the
CopperopoliS district. is attended by good
results. Several of the leads being develop
ed are found to contain good shipping ore.
The mines being developed are about a half
mile back in the hills from the first copper
discoveries, and we have faith in the belief
that they will prove to he the true copper
veins in that belt. These mines are the
nearest to the head of navigation of any yet
developed in Montana, and we await active
operations upon them with much anxiety.
Being near the great wool-growing district
of the Territory, the ores in connection with
the wool can be sent to market at a less
price than from any other point. Freight
wagons can first receive a \ part load Of ore
and then be topped out with wool, enaLling
them to carry fall loads.

EXIT DoORKEEPER POLK.

The Democratic House, after most thor
ough search for official corruption and a
victim to sacrifice upon their blazing altar,
have at length been successful They did
not have to 90 outside of their own flock
for u sacrifcial lamb. Doorkeeper Polk
was removed yesterday by vote of 139 to
80, and the duties of his position were trans
ferred temporarily to the Sergeant-at-Arms.
Mr.. POLK falls Il victim to his confidence in
his own friends
His offense was simply that be listened
to the counsels of Democrats in the House.
He followed their advice, and when they
found that their counsels were unwise and
dishonest, they deserted him and left him,
to be expelled with their sins on his
shoulders. 1t is hard, but he is not the
first man who has suffered for being caught
in bad company, He is, no doubt, as good
a man to-day us the average Democrat in

THE Chicago Tribune does not appear to
like Senator BLAINE. In making reference
to the result of the Cincinnati Convention
it seems to entertain the opinion that Mr..
HAYES was not nominated because the Re-
publicans liked him particularly, but be-
cause it was choice between him and jim
BLAINE, and in such case people with any
idea Of common decency couldn't be cS-
pected to do anything else than drop JIM
and take up the other man" If the 7ri-
buas's views of Senator BLAINE are no more
reliable and just than its political conduct
has been for the past few years, its opinions
of true Republicans are not very important
It belonged to the journalistic quad
rilateral Of 1872, which took the contract
to hand the country over to the Democracy
in that campaign. 1t didn't seem to under,
stand much Of public sentiment and men at
that time, but it may have learned some.

THE Bridgeport Conn Standard is un-
generous enough in commenting upon the
recent alleged reform of buttered-water-
melon BROWN, otherwise known as GREE
LEY's GRATZ, to allude to the undoubted
fact that "he joined with CARL SCHURZ and
others and overthrow the Republican party
in Missouri" Doesn't the iStdadard know
that Mr.. ScHURZ is q Reformer, and that
his overthrow Of the Republican party in
Missouri was in the interest of Reform-be-
cause, as Mr.. LINCOLN said, it was difficult
to "fnd an office seeking himT But it
seems that GRATZ has broken the ties that
formerly bound him to his Teutonic friend,
for he now declares his intention to make
Missouri sober State, peaceably if we can,
but by legislation and forcible measures if
we must" Here's pretty kettle of fish
Encouraged by his overthrow of the Repub-
lican party, this great Reformer proposes to
overthrow tipping in State that now gives
thousands and thousands of Democratic
majority. But perhaps the "forcible meas
ures" he refers to are "Schooners" or "Stove-
pipes" In that event there would probably
be no measured division of opinion between
him and his former associate in Reform.

raising oranges for the Government, under
direction Of the Commander-in-Ch -Chici. If

Liberal Republican Analysis of tho Cabinet.

In tire Cabinet there are but one or two men
whose opinions and Judgment are such as to rem
der them good advisers 10 the President Mr..
Eyarts lacks experience, 81 political matters; Mr.
Schurz Is pure aud honest rs the sunshine. but he
is sometimes Utopian aud impracticabe. Key Is
pretty sound but he Is Il Democrat. Sherman Is
still welded to old. fashioned ideas o!a partisan
civil service. McCrary Is strong partisan. Thomp-
ems has sound views aud good judgment. Think
IL the President would refer all doubtful nomina-
tioms to Evarts, schurz, and Doyens and let their
nomination. do not forget that Evarts made q
bad bluud ,r In the selection Of Sanford Us Minister
to Begiam but he has learned something by II.
That lie has high ideas Of the civil service cannot
be doubted, spite Of his mistakes and this canuot
be said OF all the other members of the Cabinet.
