lay in issuing the House and Senate
journals which it is customary to
do in August or September, says that this
delay if for fear of damaging disclosures
likely to be made by it, among the dam
aging records exposed would be the white
washing of O'Connor, the exposure of the
attempt by forgery, to force two Republic
ans, Captain Cowgirl and J. L. Carpenter,
to endorse the whitewashing, the action OF
the Legislature in legislating out of office
properly elected officials, the refusal
to investigate the scandals at the
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
and the insane asylums, the refusal to pro-
vide either by tax levy or the issuing of a
per cent. certificates of indebtedness to
meet the public debt, the resolution con-
demning resumption, the whitewashing OF
the standard oil monopoly, the resolution
to indorse Rice's Congressional Bill for the
pensioning of Jeff Davis, the defeat of the
Quinby Local Option bill, the fight to sur
render half the lands in the State TO rail-
road companies, the attempt to legislate the
Nationals out of Office in Toledo, the whole
sale reorganization of the municipal gov
ernment of Cincinnati, and hundred and
one other measures of like character.
The German Papers.
THE Volksfreund.l
The citizens of. Connecticut vote to-day
on several important amendments to the
State Constitution. The first amendment
provides that the Legislature shall meet
only every two years, and arrangements
have been made for an appropriate change
in the Legislative election. The members
are to get $3.50 per year and mileage OF 20
cents. For extra sessions they will receive
IS per day, but this only for period OF
twenty days. The second amendment re-
fers to the judiciary. The judges fthe Su-
preme Court and Court OF Errors are to be
appointed on good behavior. The term OF
office of the Judge extends to seventy-hfth
year. The first amendment is being bit
terly opposed by part of the press, but 1T
will probably be adopted nevertheless.
TThe Volksblattl
Gerrymanderng is now also being car.
ried on in Germany. There it is called
"geometrical election"
The war with the Ute Indians will cost
many valuable life. The troops sent
against the Indians seem to have been sur
rounded and killed. Unarmed settlers
have also been massacred. All this blood
shed would have been avoided had the In
dians been treated with justice.
1.-THE Freie Presse.l
The touching appeal of the Enquirer of
Yesterday to the voters of Hamilton County
shows how desperate things look for the
cause Of the Democracy in the County and
State.
Police Commissioner Weber must walk
the plank, says the Enquirer of course.
For when did the Democrats ever hold
back from any measure of violence when
there is a question of their party gaining
even only an imaginary advantage.

of this road to develop its vast resources

ONE OF THE most urgent needs of our ter
ritory at present is more adequate military
protection. The experience Of Minnesota
and Idaho should teach the government the
one important lesson that there is nothing
better calculated to lead to indian wars than
opportunity. Every outbreak of modern
tunes can be traced directly to this cause.
The Indian naturally regards the white man
as his enemy, and is ready to strike him a
blow at any time there is an opportunity
offered. The present unsettled state OF
affairs in Idaho is due to this fact, and adj
monishes us that if we would not have a
repetition OF the scenes enacted in our sister
territory we should be prepared.
More efficient protection is demanded
along our northern border. Fort Missoula
should be strengthened. A new post, or at
least a sumner camp, should be established
near Bannack, and a new post at Henry's
lake, in Madison county. This would give
us a good line Of defense west and south.
The posts east and north should also be
strengthened. Neither Forts Ellis, Shaw
or Logan could spare one hundred men in
case of an emergency. Their garrisons
should be increased and to make a line Of
defense for eastern Montana complete a new
post is essential in the Musselshell region.
1t is near $50 miles from Fort Keogh, on the
Yellowstone, to the point where Fort ASSN
iboin is to be built this summer Raiding
parties from over The border can pass east
ward around the Milk river garrison and
come upon our Musselshell settlements
without fear of being discovered. The larg-
est Indian trail in North America lies just
east of he@@Little Snowy mountains. The
Indians, in their transit from the far North
to the Platte, have travelled this trail for
ages, The recent raiders on the lower
Musselshell and Yellowstone came and
e on this trail, and small parties from
Sitting Bull will continue to harrass the set
tiers Of this region until there is military
protection afforded.
Old Montanians and western, raised men
may brave such dangers without a murmur,
but the immigration now setting in is from
the far away states where Indian warfare
is unknown, and they are 10th to settle
where there is the least shadow OF a chance
for their wives and children to be murdered,
We believe it is a duty the general govern
ment owes to the people who buy it's lands
to throw around them such safeguards as
will make them feel secure both in life and
property.
The tide of immigration is moving toward
eastern Montana, and if a military post
could be erected in this region this summer
the beautiful valleys OF the Musselshell and
Judith would be as thickly settled as any
section of the territory within the next two
years.
