APPEALING no rHE couNrRY.

When the Democrats in Congress did
not have the pluck to inaugurate Presi-
dent Tilden after the people elected him
in 1875, they palliated their cowardice by
saying they would appeal to the voters
of the country to vindicate the purity of
the American ballot. The appeal was
made, and under it we lost the States of
New Jersey and Connecticut, with about
thirty congressman from different parts
of the country. Then the Democratic
Congressman, and by the way it was the
same Congress which SO valiantly did
not inaugurate Tilden, decided that they
would at least put stop to the use of
troops at the polls and abolish the test
oath of, United States jurors, and other
wise regulate the government in accord
ance with the usages Of the fathers. The
Republican Senate did not consent to
these changes readily, and the complica-
tons which arose necessitated the extra
session, which was organized last spring
with the Democrats in control Of both
houses Of Congress. They passed certain
wholesome laws, making the appropria-
tions dependent upon them. President
Hayes, who had frequently voted for
laws passed exactly in the same way,
vetoed these bills, and the Democrats
yielded their position as agreeably as q
school boy stops his disorderly conduct
when the master threatens the use of a
little birch. Again they appealed to the
country to give them courage, and from
present appearances this appeal will be
treated like the preceding one. 1t has
already lost us Ohio by an overwhelming
majority, and has dispirited the party
everywhere. It is about time for the
Democratic Congressman to do some
thing before they appeal to the country
for yindication. Their course up to this
time has been a miserable piece of cow
ardice, which has inspired contempt for
the organization. If the party had per-
formed some act, that would be theme
on which to appeal to the voters, but it is
ridiculous for congressman to pirate this
nonsense of an ''appeal to the people" :"
because they we're too timid to do any
thing themselves. It Is like asking the
people to say what Congress must do, as
if the Democratic majority did not have
the sense to decide that question for
themselves. 1t shows timid, weak and
vascilating mind, which is the exact
equivalent of failure in politics. We
truly hope that if the next xtsession of Con-
gress has not the brains or the nerve to
attend to the business for which they
were elected, that they will at least spare
us the infiction of any moro appeals to
the country.

Grant said some years ago that 1t made
no difference what mistakes the Repub-
licans make they can certainly count on
the Democrats making bigger ones, and
in the light Of the past we arc inclined to
believe there was truth in the uttcrance.
It is to be hoped, howovor. that we have
been so badly whipped by our mistakes
that we.will henceforth be moro careful,
and that tho Democratic comedy of errors
has been ended by the recent explosion
of the "Ohio idea" and tho wild schemes
and notions involved in it.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN HUSBANDMAN.

Territorial merchant in future who wants to
salient beyond the limits of his county pay
his license like a man and see to it that his

will sooner or later, let them at the first OPP
portunity petition its repeal.

THE of the Rocky MOUNTAIN
HusBANDMAN, although slow, has, like the
interest it represents, been steadily onward
and upward. The warm support extended
to it all over Montana since the day of it's
introduction assures us that the people are
fully alive to the necessity of an agricultu-
raj paper in the territory, and warrants us
in the effort to place before them a journal
second to none in the country.
We take pleasure in announcing to our
friends that the time for enlargement is now
near at hand. A large cylinder power press
has been ordered from New York, and
about the beginning of the next volume, or
upon the arrival of the new press, the Hus-
BANDMAN will be enlarged to a forty-column
paper and otherwise materially improved.
We will also remove our Office Of publica-
ton to White Sulphur Springs, a point
afording better facilities for a publishing
house.
The publication of a live newspaper in
Montana is attended with heavy expense at
best, and this enlargement and change of
base, which has become necessary to meet
the demands Of the public, entails a still
greater outlay. Therefore, those in Arrears
tor subscription are requested to beprepared
to settle the same, that we may press on
from venture to success.

THERE is a growing disposition, we regret
to say, on the part of our Territorial mer-
chants to evade the late law taxing com
mercial travellers. 1t is indeed an obnoxious
law, and We have never doubted but they
would have a strong antlpathy for it if rig
idly enforced. We were s%trenuously on
posed to it in the beginning, and. were some
What instrumental In securing its defeat at
the regular session, believing as we did, that
it was contrary to the best interests of the
country that 1t heightened the distance be-
tween the producer and consumer, and
would have a tendency to prevent that
healthy competition SO necessary to secure
cheap supplies to the masses. But the mer-
chants Of the Territory were clamorous for
it, and by a combination OF effort carried
it over all opposition at the extraordinary
session. Now that they have it, they should
live by it. Laws are made to be obeyed,
and should be. If a law proves irksome,
the more rigidly 1t is enforced the more GER
tain we are to secure its repeal.
The mercantile interest of the Territory
could not have been blind to the workings
OF such a law, and we venture to say were
not. They very well understood that any
legislation affecting commercial travellers
from abroad must necessarily affect those at
home. Experience had taught them this,
and we are surprised that they should think
that they can evade it, while the traveller
from abroad attempts it at the risk of a pen
atty. We desire the prosperity of our home
merchants, and hope to see n great whole
sale city spring up in our midst, but we do
not believe any special legislation necessary
to secure 1t. On the contrary, we believe it
easier accomplished by unbridled compteti-
ton. Home merchants have it In their
power to drive travelling men from the States
from our markets it they will compete. 1t
requires q large per cent. to pay the expense
OF travelling men coming into our midst from
New York, Chicago, st. Paul and San Fran
cisco. So much so that the live business |
man in our midst can duplicate their order |
at a profit.
A great mercantile interest such as Mon
tana can now boast should tear no competi-
ton, and should live up to the laws created
through it's instrumentality. We do not
otter this as an appeal but as a warning, as
the officials of the several counties are being
awakened on the subject, and we miss our
guess if offenders in the future are not
brought to ~iustcie. 1t is their duty to pro-
fct, the interests of. the people. Let. the

BLAiNE's BATTLES.

Mr.. Blaine is a again in his element.
He is in the minority. Blaine eve
fights better or stronger, or with more
effect, than when he draws on himself
the wrath of a passionate majority.
He goads them on to their destruction,
and drives them into a political pitfall
or parliamentary maze. Then he
mercilessly prods them as only Blaine
can. In a running debate Blaine is a
host unto himself, as the battle SCARED
leaders of the opposition have too
plainly learned. No n can see hisulti-
mate intention. He proceeds carefully,
draws his pursuers into ambush, and
then comes the massacre. He has a habit,
so exceedingly detestable to the oppose
ton, Of showing up their inconsistency
on all occasions. Even a harmless little
discussion has been known to sheath a
most powerful sting which the majority
got to its full length, before it could
escape. So far in the present session,
Mr.. Blaine has a belt full of confeder-
ate scalps.
1t is well for MS, Blaine that he has
not yet needed the aid of Conkling or Ed
munds to sustain him when represent
ing the minority. Those two senators
are half consumed with jealousy of
Blaine, and they are ready to let
him ''stick In the mud' at any time,
provided the party is not damaged
thereby. They know that while the
last session of congress won the Maine
senator but a single wreath of ~laurels,
he is now in position to gain any
number Of tributes, and that he will
constantly strive for them. This fact
helps him politically, and keeps him
afloat nicely in the uncertain sea of
presidential aspirations. Conkling and
Edmunds would fain sink him; but he
twill not down. His colors are flying
and he has the grit of Commodore
Rogers. Therefore, other confederate
cruisers and privateers will 500 be
brought into port, and the prize-ahl
that is what mars the feelings of
Blaine's rivals in the senate.

a fine residence in Philadelphia, the
gift of patriotic citizens. Before sail
ing for Europe, he said to Mr.. Drexel,
the banker, that he regarded Pepusyl-
vania as his home, and would return to
Philadelphia to pass the remainder of
his days. If Gen. Grant be nominated,
therefore, he will be properly accredited
to the east, and, since his memorable
veto of the imitation bill of the Forty
fourth congress won him the lasting
regard of eastern business men and
people, the east will be proud to own
him as a citizen.
The second place must be given to
the west. 1t had Lincoln and Grant;
it has Hayes. 1t can afford to take the
