The Independent was so taken with its little

at such prices as would reimburse the govern
ment for its outlay. The tenant farmers of
Ireland would be only too glad to become
owners of their native acres, and the
plan suggested would likely bring Irish dis
content to an end. But the reform once
entered upon, where would it end? If ap-
piled to the estates of absentee Irish landlords,
then why not to the game preserves, the parks
of the great English and Scotch estates. and
if applied to them what is to become of the
government of Britain whose fundamental
principle is the recognition Of an hereditary
aristocracy? The curse of great landed es-
tates is a legacy from feudal times. One Eu-
ropean country, France, escaped from thai
curse through the calaclysm of the Revolu-
ton, and it looks as though nothing short of a
revolution could bring about an equitable
partition of the land of Great Britain.

RETURNING THANKS.

The democratic PRIMARIES are to be held
next Saturday. Butte, being a new town, its
citizens are comparatively inexperienced in
political organization, and had it not been
for the disinterested kindness manifested in
a certain quarter it is altogether likely that
the task of holding our primaries would have
proved altogether too much for us. But for
tunately, our embarrassing condition was
perceived by that philanthropic institution,
the First National Bank of Helena which
has kindly sent over one of its principal
officers to relieve the people of Butte of the
necessity of taking any trouble about the
matter. Having had an experience of eight
years in managing primaries, the Bank has,
of course, acquired a very enviable skill in
that species Of manipulation and it is in
order for the Butte folks to express their most
sincere gratitude for the considerate and dis
Interested efforts made in their behalf. For
our part, in addition to the expression of such
gratitude, we feel lmpclled to record our re-
greet in that we were ever led, through an
incorporate though wcll-meaning zeal, to
characterize a certain clique of Helena man.
ayers, and their creatures throughout the ter
ritOry, as the "machine." This characteri-
cation was a mistake; for the move above
alluded to convinces us that the gentlemen
of Helena form in reality a charitable associ-
alton, instead of a clique of political wire
pullers. Philanthropy is their controlling
motive. To swseten the lives and illuminate
the paths of their fellow men is the end and
aim of all their efforts. To succeed in so
doing they do not resort to the vulgar practice
of aims giving, but instead make a generous
sacrifice of themselves in voluntary taking
upon their own shoulders a portion of their
neighbors' burdens. Their philanthropic
impulses lead them to tighten the labors of
the overworked, and hence it is that one of
their number has been kindly sent TO relieve
the democrats of Butte of the arduous labors
of arranging their primaries. For kindness
so disinterested, SO considerable and self
sacrificing we cannot be loo grateful. Here
after, i'll his evening devulions, let every good
democrat be careful to add to his "Now | Law
me down to Sleep" ere. a little petition pray
ing for the long life and increasing usefulness
of the "Central Bureau of Philanthropy" Of
Helena. .

crop which ong-continued dry weather had
reduced to a condition where rain was a

The Montana statutes are adorned with a
blk and a fraud of an act, known as the
'sPrinting Law" which we shall have occasion
to dwell upon at some length ere long. This
law was enacted through the criminal
cooperation of democratic Legislature and
republican Governor, aided by the no
less criminal support of a venal democratic
press, whose managers were only too glad to
sell their birth-sight, the privilege of de-
nouncing what they knew to be a barefaced
fraud, for a little mess of official pottage, or
official pap, IN the shape of printing contracts
to be awarded them by the triumvirate.
Most people think that the printing law is
something that affects publishers only but
this is a mistake. In its operation it reaches
directly or indirectly, each citizen Of Mon
tana. In the first place, in the INSCRIPTIONS
| hands in which the power it confers has late
ly been lodged, the Printing Law is used as
a corrupting agency TO muzzle or bribe the
press. Or, if IA journal happens to be ~inacces-
sible to brides or intimidation, as the Madi-
Soniun was found to be on the railroad ques-
ton of a year or more ago, then it is employ
ed as an instrument of punishment, TO in
fiict upon the offending journalist the proper
penalty for the heinous crime of having dar-
ed to do otherwise than as the triumvirate
might direct. The Printing Law is of interest
then to every Montanian who believes in a
free press to every one who wishes to see a
free press established in our mountain terri
tory tn avnrv ona who lons mot hp)iara in
the propriety Of placing in hands, lone too
scrupulous, the power of welding an undue
influence over the press. The Printing Law
is also of interest to every citizen who desires
to see pure methods of administration adopt.
ed, or who has all adherence of political
corruption. We shall take occasion to show
how the law is the fecund source of number
less jobs, and furthermore how it has been
made use of for one mans private advantage,
and how in that employment it was degraded
even below the intamy of corrupt party
measure. By the time we get through with
the Printing Law we apprehend the number
will be few OF those who believe that in its
operations it is of interest only to publishers.
Any statements made we shall be prepared
to prove, and be fully responsible for.
Nor is this all, for in its conflict with the
provisions of other acts this jewel of a law
has the effect of introducing so charming an
uncertainty that the purchaser of property
under execution is liable at any time to find
that his title is defective. This is because
the provision of two different acts, both re-
fAlI.i Ir ia SIIph ca1oc and Iii, r,t.;o.1l- -
posed to each other in wording and intent,
cannot very well be observed. One or the
other must be disregarded and the interest
ing query-which ?-then presents itself. But
this, together with other features of the law
in question, will be fully set forth in due
time, and for our expose when presented we
claim the attention of our readers.

IRELAND'S ~GRIEVANCEs.

Irish agitation continues and English en-
barrassment and perplexity over the difficult
ties presented by the land problem of Ireland
continually increases. This land trouble in
Ireland, reduced to its essence, is the persist
ent absenteeism Of the Irish landlords. The
real estate of the country is owned almost
entirely by a few large land owners. and a
great majority of those men pass their lives
either in England OF on the continent, far
removed from Ireland. The hard earned
@uiiieas of The small farmers are se.lt out of
the country to maintain in their foreign
homes the absentee landlords who seldom

OF internal improvements for the benefit of
their poorer fellow-countrymen. Sometimes.
indeed, IA patriotic landlord is met with. and
when we find a public-spirited proprietor
VINO is content to remain at home among his
people and employ in the establishment of
new industries the revenues proceeding from
his rents, the difference between the condi-
ton OF his tenants and that of his absentee
neightor's tenants is indeed striking. The
former enjoying prosperity, are contentcd
and satisfied, unvexed by agrarian or social
iStic doctrines, more or less disquietinr and
dangerous. On the other hand the tenants
of the absent landlords, reduced to poverty
by the memorable laws of ex hange which
would render any other condition impossible

earnings is maintained, are Ipt to be turbu-

tenant, generally well educated for one in

history and reflects upon the manner in which
titles to the great estates of Ireland were in

he questions the validity of hat title.

ans county will not possibly exceed half a
good average crop. A few pieces in
favored localities and under more favorable
circumstances will do more than this. but
for the most part it will do worse. Many
farmers are cutting up the crop as fast as
possible and feeding it to stock, as the
scarcity of pasturage makes it almost as
much of necessity to feed as it would be
in the middle of the winter. Reports from
the Missouri side of the river are also full
of complaints to the same effect, and state
also that much inconvenience is suffered in
some localities for lack Of water. 1t is not
now expected that rain, however abundant
or soon it may come, can save the corn
