Growth and Resources Of
Montana. p

General Brlsbln, who is just in from
a four years sejourn in Montana, was
briefly interviewed by a Republican COM
missioner yesterday, the resources and
developments OF that great northland
being the principa: theme. The Genera!
started out by saying that if he was pos
sessed of such an empire as Montana he
wouldn't exchange it for the great State
of New York. Montana, three times
greater in extent than New York, he
says, possesses wonderful array of re-
sources and attractions of which any six
average Eastern States might well be
proud. There are millions of unoccupied
tarm-lands which he thinks are incom-
parably finer than those in the East or
elsewhere in the West; thousands of
square miles of mineral lands ric h in gold,
silver, copper, iron, lead an ceal-the
dndeveloped silver vein Of Clark's fork
near Bozemsn, he believes more extensive
than the Comstock cluster. and just rs
rich; and as for pasture fields, they are in
extent beyond comprehension, and will
fatten hundreds Of thousands of cattle,
sheep and horses yearly. He believes
Montana will be very heavy shipper of
ores as soon as the Utah and Northern
railroad gets little further into the
country, and of course our Omaha smelt-
ing works will come in for share OF such
products. Business interests are BOOM
ing, mines and mills are doing well, and
the population of the Territory has in
creased some five thousand this season.
The new corners are generally satisfied,
and the old residents find tneJ still have
plenty of elbow room.
Crops were excellent this summer,
many large fields yielding from thirty to
forty-fve bushels of wheat to the acre.
They even prodnce corn, melons, ETC., at
Fort Ellis. where the General was sta.
toned, and that is pretty high up among
the mountains.
There has been quite heavy travel to
Yellowstone Park this season, the tour
lists hailing from all parts of the country,
and being highly delighted with their
experience. Roads have been built
through that wonderland, and the Super
intendcnt has built comfortable house
at Mammoth Springs, OH Gardiner river.
He says the natural, and by far the most
pleasant route, is via Omaha and Ogden;
thence north via the Utah and Northern,
which already extends into Montana.
The General is on his way east on leave.

General Grant and Popular
Caprice.

Frank Pixley Of the Argonaut, was one
of the crowd that blocked up the Me-
chances Pavilion in San Francisco to
witness the Grant show and added his
voice to the chorus of "huzzas /" on
that occasion. At the time, he says he
was pursuaded that the outpouring and
the enthusiasm on that occasion were
genuine, heartfelt tributes to powerful
idol. Since then Mr.. Pixley has attended
n walking match in the same pavilion,
and witnessed such tumultuous applause
over the exploits of the walkist, Sadie
Donnelly, as to be wrought up to the
point of serious reflection. We extract
from the Argonaut Pixley's speculations
on the subject while in serious mood,
as follows:
popular favor and popular applause
is curious thing. We have tasted 1t,
and now, as from the calm heights OF
philosophic reflections we look back and
down over the way we came, we are con-
strained to admit that when we were
most wrong we were most popular, and
when hearcst right we were nearest the
ragged edge, when popular clamor cursed
loudest and when the carrion crows
cawed with the greatest harmony. Some
times we think that popular favor, al
ways capricious, is never right, but as
the thing does often change sides 1T must
be sometimes right. When Santa Ana
lost his leg it was buried amid salvos Of
artillery, with all the honors of war, a
greatful people went mad with enthusi-
asm, and Mexico was ablaze with JOY.
Then came the reaction. and the poor,
mangled leg was drawn from its hallowed
grave and incontinently kicked through
the streets of the City of Mexico amid
the execrations of an angry mob. When
Banks, of Massachusetts, came back TO
Boston flushed with some supposed sue
cess, u hundred thousand people with
forty bands met him with oratory, music,
flowers, and applause; after his Red river
fiasco, upon his return to the Hub, the
boy who carried his carpet-bag demanded
ten cents tor the unwilling service. We
heard General Grant acclaimed at the
Mechanics Pavilion from ten thousand
throats. and shortly afterward at the
same place Sadie Donnelly, for squirting
a lap on the sawdust against big Won
Berg. obtained the same cheers from the
same throats, and ten thousand men and
women went wild over Sadie's legs, and
muscle, and nerve. Well do we rememb-
or the famous race between Norfolk "
and "Lodi;" how we clapred our hands
and strained our throats and cheered
when the brave old stallion came in amid
thunders OF applause. In our enthusi-
asm we would have preferred him to
Kallock for Mayer. 1t was such a senti-
ment as this doubtless that prompted a
Roman Emperor to make his horse a
Roman Consul"

Eiendish Outrage.

BOISE CITY, Nov 21-On Wednesday
at about IL O'Clock, A. NJ. while George
Holbroek's daughter, girl sixteen years
old, who lives forty miles below here, on
the Boise river, was out not more than
forty yards from the..house, stout built,
middle aged man came up behind her
out Of some brush. unobserved, caught
her and choaked her so that she could
not speak, and iavished her. The girl
made a desperate struggle and mad her
clothes nearly torn of her. She soon
after got to the house, where there was
no one but her mother and little children.
Her father was sent for mile off and
the nelghborhood turned out fifty strong
and hunted all day Wednesday and are
still hunting for the man. He appears
to be stranger in the eneighborhood, and
is supposed to belong to gang Of c.ttls
drivers. The excitement is great, and
if the right man is caught he will be
hung winout ceremony.

Penalty for Libel.

The late Legislature is deserving the
thanks OF community. and more especial
ly of every respectable journalist IN the
Territory who has pride in his VEGA
ton, for the passage of an act fixing a
penalty to the crime OF libel. The laws
of all civilized nations define libel as a
criminal act, but Washington Territory
has heretofore in this matter been with
out the bounds of civilization in not at
taching any statutory penalty to the
crime and irresponsible and INSCRIPTIONS
journalists have taken advantage of the
immunity thus offered to make personal
defamation special vocation to attract
custom for their newspapers. A journal
in this city circumstantialiy and specifi-i,
cally charged citizen whose moral
character had never before been assalled,
with an act of felony, which charge was
notoriously malicious invention with
out an incident or circumstance con-
Meeting the accused with the crime
charged. The grand jury, at its next
session, found true bill of indictment
against the libeller, and the court dis
missed the case without trial, on the
ground that the statutes did net specifi-
cally prescribe penalty, though the
crime was defined by common law and
statute; thus reversing tie common law
maxim No wrong without remedy"
which means that, the conviction of
crime is the warrant of the court for
awarding the measure Of punishment
not limited or prescribed by statute
This ruling of the court left the victim of
the most infamous SANDER without any
legal remedy unless lie adopted the
Scotch proverb: "Sue a beggar and
catch louse."
SANDER is held by all honorable per-
sons and in all decent society as one of
the meanest, most cowardly and mali
cious crimes, the most detestable when
its vehicle ls public print. In many
sections the offence is visited with sum
mary, though lawless punishment, like
that dealt to venolnous reptile or
vicious cur NJ community can afford
to leave an offence of so grave a charac-
ter without legal remedy; justifiable
homicide is not an uncommon result
Society owes to every citizen the same
measure of protection against SANDER as
against theft, burglary or arson. There
is no more reason in forcing citizen to
maintain suit for personal damages
against the criminal who defames his
charter than in allowing him no other
measure of redress against the thief who
despoils him of his goods. The crime is
no less IN the slanderer than the thief.
Holding an editor or publisher crimi-
naly liable for false and malicious SLAM
der is no improper restraint upon the
much vaunted liberty of the press, and
no respectable editor will feel in the
least oppressed or circumscribed in deal
ing with aay personal matter of public
concern. He is as free to comment upon
the official acts of public men as though
no statute existed on that subject. The
e,htor who thinks he canno. make
live paper" without lying and SANDER
ing, had better quit; his loss would be
no detriment to journalism or calamity
to the public.
