Mr.. Justice DoNoHUE was indisputably
right, on Saturday. in checking WILLIAM A.
BEACH, Esq, in the criticism OF the conduct
OF NOAH DAVIS, on which Mr.. BEACH was
just entering. 1t was not the proper occa-
sion for such criticism, and that is all that
can be said about 1t for 1t does not follow,
by any means, that on proper occasion the
criticism would not be just.
The case was that Of certain members OF
the Bar Association against the County
Clerk. A committee OF the Bar Association
wanted an opportunity to examine Mr.
GUMBLEToN's books. He refused, or at
least he apparently threw obstacles in their
way. NOAH DAVIS granted a peremptory
mandamus. So far, we are inclined to think
no was right. But he availed himself

it is not strange that 1t should have re-
quired both Judge DoNoHUE and Mr.. BEACH
to restrain Mr.. BEAcH's very natural feel

Yesterday tho various Protestant scots
represented In the Evangelical Alliance entered
upon what il known as the Week of Prayer.
Brother MOODY has succeeded In persuading
the evangelical Baltimore pastors that II would
DO better TO make 1t month instead
Of a week. and the suggestion seems
TO ind favor In other cities: whether IL
will be generally acted upon, however. remains
to be seen. One OF the religious journals. in
deed. reminds tho brethren that the apostolic
injunction was to pray without ceasing;" but
OF course literal compliance with this. In the
case OF nineteenth century Christians. is out Of
the question.
The general subject OF suppllcatlon is nothing
less than the conversion OF the world TO tho
existing style OF modern Christianity. as It is
understood by the Evangelical Alliance. This
conversion OF the world is not at present max
ing much visible Roadway; indeed. the pre-
milennarian brethren frankly give 1t up as a
bad job.
We observe with interest that Friday. hang
sHan's day. has been set apart rs day OF prayer
for newspaper publishers and editors. for au-
thors and for the cause OF temperance. No spe-
ciAc mention is made OF reporters. but we pre-
sumo they are included.

1t is now asserted BY railroad experts tina
a very few days will decide the direction Il
be taken BY the southwestern branch of tn
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, Z
branch having already become a part of the
arrangement. Our information is that the
contract has been let for grading four miles
of this branch, running from the point
where the road crosses the Vermillion river
towards the southwest corner Of township
ninety-nine in range 6fsy-three. The air
line direction of the branch as laid out is
towards Scotland, passing three miles north
of Childstown. 1t does not by any means
follow from this that the road is to be built
in an air line due southwest Beyond the
letting Of the four mile contract the same I'M
certainty exists which has pervaded all the
operations Of this company. The informa-
ton is, however, important because it seems
to settle the supposition thatthe branch will
be built and that something more in the
way Of railroad building than the Firesteel
extension is contemplated. The compsny'a
surveyors are now running the line of the
branch and a few days will determine their
direction.

The following item appears in q recent
issue of the New York Herald, under date
of Ottawa, Oatario:
A telegram from Winnipeg to-day states
that the board oftrade have appointed Q com.
mtttee to secure evidence from traders in
proof of the assertion that the cartridges
supplied to the Sioux Indians IL the west
are furnished by Americans and not BY
Canadians, as has been charged, and on ac-
count Of which the shipment. Of cartridges
from Winnepeg to the west hes been pro.
hibited by the Canadian government. This.
COMMITTEES will also inquire into the alleged
loose, Irregular manner of collecting Gus
toms duties at Forts Walsh and Mcleod.
1t can be readily proved, we think, that
the Sioux Indians of northern Montana ssre
supplied with cartridges by Americans and
by men who are licensed BY the govern
ment to trade with the Indians. Our laws
prohibit the transfer Of ammunition across
Indian reservations and its sale upon reser
vations. To evade this law, cartridges am
shipped down the Red river to some poin
within the dom of Canada, carried
westward BY wagons and brought across
the boundary and sold on the open prairie
The business is a profitable one. bat 1t fur
nishes the Indians with the means Of com
hitting outrages on the whites. We think

buck Indian. hostile or friendly. is well
supplied with the best cartridges. The best

are at all times on a war footing.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Northern Dakota and the Northern Raei-
fc railroad are ENJOYING a season Of pros.
perity which is one Of the surprising results
of the era Of better times which has come
upon US. A few years ago when the collapse
Of Jay Cook placed an embargo upon pro-
gress in this particular region hope went
out from the bosoms of thousands Of stock
holders and they firmly believed that the
Northern Pacific enterprise was too dead for
anything except the customary funeral OBJ.
servances. But the developments of these
later days shows to us that the giant under
taking was only Numbering and that while
it slept fresh strength was permeating its
physical make up and preparing it for the
grand results it is now achieving. The rail-
road, SO long halted at the Missouri river is
pushing westward to span the continent.
The first section Of the extension, terminal
ing at the Yellowstone river near the mouth
Of Powder river, will be completed next
summer. The money for this extension il
already in the hands Of the managers of the
road and there seems to be no doubt about
the speedy consummation of their plans.
There is every reason to believe that the
road will not st atop the Yellowstone, but
that it will be pushed westward as rapidly
as means and men can advance it. Before
three years have passed it will have crossed
the mountains and connected itself with the
head of navigation on the Columbia river
and from that point its completion to the
Pacific will be only . question Of time
These points We have gathered from persons
in positions to give information. The healthy
condition Of their magnificent enterprise il
q subject for congratulation, not only to the
northwest, but to the northeast, which will
profit by the completion Of another cont.
mental line.
The road as already constructed and - II
is projected passes through . country o.

enterprise of this sort to develop its latent
