The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1880-07-09

General Grant arrived at Los Vegas
yesterday.
The story of Hancock resigning is dis
credited In Washington.
Cincinnati 10 estim ated to have made
a half million dollars out OF the Democrat
10 Convention.
Hancock is said to be the handsomest
man In the army. What a beautiful poiiti-
cal corpse he will make.
"A Washington dispatch says Secretary
schurz is coming west this summer and may
possibly visit the National Park.
Col. Forney, Of the Philadelphia fro
oress, has pronounced for Hancock. For
ney Ia going over the same precipice wnere
Curtin and Mcclure fell twelve years ago.
Weaver, the Greenback candidate ior
President is first out with his letter OF 40
ceptance. And he will be first out when
the votes are counted. II
Senator Window, one OF the defeated
candidates, has gone to work heartily for
Garfield. Other prominent politicians are
getting good ready before sailing in.
General Garfield is besieged by letter
writer's and with the assistance of secreta-
ries and stenographers is answering lou
day. Hancock has the best Of this part OF
the game as he can detail clerks to answer
his letters.
Twenty niue soldiers who were killed
during the Nez Perces war were exhumed
and their bones reinterred with the usual
military ceremony and honors, at Fort Lap
wal, at the same time Of the burial Of Gap
tain Winters, recently.
"A dispatch from Berlin, Wednesday,
saws: Political circles consider a war be-
tween Greece and Turkey inevitable. II
appears the Sultan refuses to cede to Greece
the Turkish territory accorded 1t by the
great powers and Greece is going to take
IL.
The New York Times has a long ex-
pose Of the Star Route lobbying in Con-
gress and says McKibben, the California
contractor, and Wallace of Pennsylvania,
who did more than any others TO keep up
the big pay on star routes, were also the
managers OF Hancock at CINCINNATI The
Times says it was evident some Of the mon
ey made by the contractors band was used
at Cincinnati to nominate Wallace's candi-
date-Hancock.
DIR. Tanner, New York imbecile, has
made start to fast forty days. Five days
had elapsed at the time Of the report reach
ing us, and his appearance resembles "a
Ro.as-you please pedestrian who has been
pushed to the utmost. His pulse is high
and irregular, ranging from 80 to SO; tenn
perature normal" The object In 80 fast
ing Is an attempt to prove such thing
is possible and-to make money. In this
connection 1t is pleasing to know that "the
attendance is daily increasing"
Much ado is made by Democr attic
Journals that Hancock, the senior Major
General of the Army, so highly reveres the
civil law that he esteens 1t paramount to
military law and has 30 demonstrated.
Now II this Is the case Why did he refuse
to produce the body OF Mrs. Surratt in obe-
dience to the writ OF habsas corpus issued
by Judge Wylie Of the Supreme Court OF
the District Of Columbia? In that case he
refused to recognize the authority OF the
civil courts and was roundly abused there
for by many Democratic papers. But then
Hancock isn't any bitterer pill to swallow
than Greeley was. Any port in storm.
Garfield is accused of being q plagiarist,
OF knowing something Of the Credit Mobi-
lier frauds.-the first Of which Disguised the
nation when Lew Wallace published his
"Fair God," and the latter which should
have been laid to rest with Cakes Ames.
Something new would be better. Before the
campaign IL ended 1t will doubtless DO shown
that Garfield Is the identical man who alb
Quoted Charley Ross, slit Whittaker's ears,
wrote the cipher dispatches, struck Billy
Patterson, sawed Hanlan's boat, made love
to DR.. Mary Walker, stole Stewards body,
caused the Tay bridge disaster, killed the
Prince Imperial and numerous other crimes
80 heinous mention alone would cause his
defeat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon were married
couple In Leadville. As in some other
cases, there seemed to be " o friend of the
family" present named Carter. On last
Monday night Mrs. Dillon attended ball.
At an early hour in the morning Carter war
escortlng Mrs. D. home. They were met
by Mr.. D., who, 1t seems, was one Of those
unreasonable husbands who think the hus
band has some rights that should be re-
spected. Dillon quarreled with Carter
and Garter thereupon shot and killed Dill
on. This is not the approved method Of
ending such affairs, but 1t ended Dillon. Il
he had ii to do over again. Dillon woult
doubtless take the first shot but be can
do 1t over again, and the corpse for the fu
neral will be as above stated.
General Miles was recently interviewed
In New York on the Indian question and
said that among the e5o, 900 Indians In thil
country, including the hostile, semi-h hostile
and so-called civilized Indians, there arr
more armed warrors than there are soldiers
In the United States army. Any attemp,
to control these Indians by small isolated
bodies of soldiers, or any effort by few
non-combatants 10 induce them TO change
their mode of life must from the very ma
ture OF the case, result In failure. He be-
lieves in putting Indians under the care Of
the War Department until they have be-
como sufficiently educated and civilized tc
care for themselves. Ifthis 10 not done the
present chronic state Of insecurity and hos
tility must continue indefinitely. His views
will receive hearty Endorsement from al
who have true knowledge Of the Indian
situation as 1t Ia.
Hancock.
