attained from the beginning, but have diff
fered somewhat as to the means. One of the
principal reasons for opposing such a Law has
been the fact that the breeding of short
horns was confined to Il few persons, and
we feared they might take advantage of
such a law to extort from their neighbors.
This is not now SO great al objection. as good
grade stock and pure bloods are bred upon
every valley and may be obtained fully as
cheap as in the states
Montana is great grass country, and
cattle husbandry is destined to be one of our
principal industries for years to. come and
every measure should be adopted which is
calculated to. improve the quality and en-
nance the value Of our stock and if our
stockmen, or a large majority of them, feel
it to be to the interest of the industry to
have a law providing that only bulls OF a
certain grade shall run at large, as in our
opinions it wouldbe, certainly the legislature
should comply with their wishes, pro-
vided. it has constitutional jurisdiction. We
would not favor any measure that would be
tyrranical or oppressive of the,poor, but the
measure spoken of would not, we think,
inflict any injury ON any one however lin
tied their means, since it is more profitable
to keep pure bloods than scrubs.
1t does. seem that every citizen should
have the right to pasture the government
domain with whatsoever class of stock he
may wish, but individual rights must often
be sacrificed to the interests of the many,
and this is a case where it will not probably
work any hardship even to him whose priv
ilege is abridged, but or the other hand will
prove a benefit in the end.
There are but few bulls on the range in
Meagher county t hat are not at least half
breed Durham, and we believe the same
may be said of most Of the valleys in Madi-
son and Beaverhead counties.
The maverick law suggested by us some
time since would soon, if judiciously enforc-
ed, materially remedy the evil complained
Of by Mr.. Anceny-that Of an insufficiency
of bulls on the range-and is the cheapest
II dsfarest manner of stocking our ranges
with thoroughbred bulls that has yet sug-
gestedsitself to us.

A memorandum was made last fair time

was lost, and with 1t all recollection of the

and now seems worthy of being recorded as
an instance OF very rapid work. The grange
machine was run by horse power.
An effort has been made to get at the

LAST weeks mail brought us the Meas
illustrated journal of forty-eight columns,
published by Robert E.. Strahorn, Omaha,
Nebraska. This issue OF the NeW Westais
devoted almost exclusively to Montana. and
contains a vast amountof statistics compiled
by the editor during the brief space of Il
few weeks time. Mr.. Strahorh is a fine
writer, and one noticeable tact about his
productions is that while thing are pictured
in glowing colors, he has a due regard for
accuracy, his statements not being over
drawn us is often the case with descriptions
of new countries. The paper, though filled
to overlooking with information in regard
to Montana, is but a brief, concise account
OF the leading features brought before the
writer in a short sojou1n among lis last fall.
Many of the Illustrations are new and al
are very correct. In addition tostte articles
from the pen of the editor are a few selec-
tions, prominent among which is an edito,,
rial from the H~UsBANDMAN.
The Neu West is the best papersfor Mon.

of bringing our hitherto almost unknown

sihle way by our people. Let every citizen
buy a,copy and send to friends in the east.
They can be had by mail at ten cents each
from the office of publication, or Of news
dealers in the territory.
We wish Mr.. lStrahorn unbonnded success,
and trust that his Journal, which is now
promised quarterly, may soon become a
monthly. The field which it enters is new
and will furnish Interesting subjects tor
years to come.

THEY are having q constitutional
convention in California with-as
would appear in the following extract
from California newspaper similar
brilliant results to those which were
achieved in Texas. Bead:
The brilliant and witty divine, Law
renee Sterne, once preached from the
text: I'VE have toiled all night and
caught nothing When the Constitu
tional Convention assemblies on Mon.
day, President Hoge might do worse
than remind his fellow delegates in like
brief terms, that they have labored tor
three weeks and have accomplished
nothing. Seriously. the Convention
cuts up badly, Its capacity for formu.
lating great principles does not impress
one as being anything to speak Of. Cal
ifornia may boast of her big trees and
her large squashes ii she will, but she
can bragg but little at present of her
Constitution makers, Quite numbe r
of them appear to be pumpkin. headed
soft and pulpy, without hard common
sense, such as is essential to the franz
ing sound rules for good government.
Round pegs in square holes, many of
them are entirely out of place. The
frivolous. absurd, and altogether un.
workable propositions that have in the
main been submitted. would bring dis.
credit upon the fifth form of a public
school. It is true that there is time
yet for the Convention to mend its
methods, but certainly the outlook at
present does not promise much for the
future. We sincerely trust that our
abominably Ineffective Judiciary system
may Ee improved. Laws are idle and
useless if they cannot be surely and
speedily enforced. 1t is certain that
they cannot be in this State at present.
To recover a debt by legal process is
one of the most wearisome, perplexing
and Improbable tasks in which man
can be engaged. The laws delays at
ford premium to rascality. Let
debt be ever so just, the debtor
may laugh you TO scorn for two, three
or more years. 1t is idle to boast Of
liberty and justice where the laws are
administered in so dilatory 3 manner.
III the Convention will remedy this
state of things it will deserve we'll Of

the other reforms that arc expected Of

A BETTER WAY.


Senator Slater's bill restricting
Chinese immigration to the Units
ed States Is good measure SO tar
as it goes but would it not be
better if Congress should declare
at once that there shall be meet.
ing of American and Chinese
authorities, and an abrogation of
the Burlingame treaty. From
that treaty has grown mary of
the troubles in this Chinese quese
ton. 1t is the. passport from our
government to the Chinese imml-
gre Mt to our shores. If we deny
the passport the Cninaman
cannot come, or If he does, he
must go back from whence he
came and not stand upon the or
der of his going. And, then, if
after the treaty is abrogated, there
shall remain in China American
citizens, let them know that they
remain at their own peril. The
truth resolved down to plain talks
ing is that the people of the Pa
c,fic Coast cannot be pauperized
IN order that a few americans IN
China shall remfin there to accu-
mulate forunes. There are but
few Americans IN China. There
are five or six millions on the Pa
cific coast, If not more. The
welfare of a few against FIVE or
six millions Is the argument used
by the Chinaman's friend. The five
or six millions or more must and
shall lie protected, and If that pros
lection necessltates war, then war
must come with all its incidental
horrors, ard there are men
enough on the Pacific slope to
put a satisfactory end to 1t inde>
pendent of those who IN the
East and South would declare
John Chinaman a friend and
brother.
