Favorable Report on the Northern Pacific

morning unanimously agreed to report favor
ably the bill extending for six wears the time
for the completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad. This is great triumph for the COM

to the bill. This is a substitute for the orig
inal bill, which asked for ten years.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE sub-commit-
Tee of the house appropriation committee
were engaged this morning upon the District
of Columbia and Indian appropriation bills.
The consular and diplomatic and military
academy bills will be reported to the full
committee on Tuesday.
The congressional representatives of min
ing states and territories last session being
strongly opposed to the mineral land bills
framed by the public land commissioner,
have agreed upon a short measure as a sub
stitute for it. This substitute will not be
pressed during this session except as a meas
ure killing off the land commissioners bills.
As the representatives of mining states are
opposed to any legislation at present, and as
no bill can or will be passed without their
operation, 1t is thought to be doubtful if any
further action upon the subject is taken this
season.

CLOSE THEN.

The attention of the members of the in
ceming legislative assembly is called to the
necessity of e~nacting a law that will effectu-
ally close up the opium dives that are now
being carried on in the territory. We were
surprised when informed, the other day, that
these dens are opened and in full blast just
outside of our city limits, and that they are
patronized by many young men, and by nat a
few of mature years. The practice of opium
smoking is INDUCED in by many white resi-
dents IN our territory to an extent almost be-
yond belief. 1t requires no long argument
to prove the eneryating and destructive eff
feet this pernicious habit has upon those who
indulge in it. 1t is enough for us to know
that 1t ruins the body, destroys the mind
and kills the souls of its victims, and in the
end the poor wrecks drift into our poor
houses and insane asylums, there to linger
and die. The dictates of a common human
ity call upon our law makers to pass some
law that will arrest the progress Of this grow
ing evil habit.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE "Rerald", in its
wild rejoicings over Kelly's downfall, COM
placently remarks: "Had he abstained from
his outrageous breaches of social decency be
might, perhaps, have saved himself from this
annihilating defeat by the resources of a DO
litical strategist, but when all the rules of de-
cency are violated, when wanton and I'M
founded assaults are made on the personal
Character, the community revolts against such
exhibitions of the INSCRIPTIONS arrogance sf
a boss"
The "Star," Kelly's organ, says: With the
events of yesterday the profound conviction
must impress itself upon the minds of demo-
Gratis everywhere that New York is no LONGER
a democratic city. 1t has been traded off and
handed over to the republicans BODY and soul.
1t will no longer roll up those magnificent
inaJoritles which redeemed the state and
placed it in the van Of the democratic pha-
lanx. The "Star" brands the four Tammanv
aldermen who voted for Campbell with .Cain
like and inetfaceable marks" as "abject with
downcast eyes and burning cheeks. writb;no
under the contempt of their indignant asso.
cIa'es' whose recorded action yesterday will
haunt them during their lives as a Kissing
reproach."
The "Iimes" says: The influence, which
brought about Kelly's downfall have been of
a very complex character, but it is a s, rikin,
testimony to the increasing power of nub,;c
opinion over the springs of municipal po,it,cs
that from the mixed mass of motives ON, ~
which yesterdays nominations were finally
evolved we should have a result which il ~
fairly satisfactory. ~

forty years, bearing interest at the rate Of six
I Der cent. per annun. The bonds are to be
issued at the rate of $685. 900 a mile, as the
road is finished and accepted by the govern
ment. They are to be secured by a mortgage
upon the line of the road and or the land
grant of the company, estimated, after all
sales have been deducted, at nearly 47,0O0,-
600 acres. The company has about 600 miles
of the old road in operation, on which there
are no mortgages. and with the exception of
| a few sectional mortgages, the Missouri and
Pen d'Oreille divisions, which are almost
completed for a distance of 426 miles, are
| clear. The syndicate agrees to take $4,000
900 of the bonds during the coming year.
This is all the company thinks il can spend
to an advantage the first season. AT $4,000
per mile it will build 400 miles Of road.
As the road approaches the heart of our
territory from the east and from the west, we
will feel its influence and more clearly recog-
nize its great importance to us. This great
tran%s-continental thoroughfare, piercing the
center of Montana, will bring to us an era Of
prosperity heretofore unfelt. Our vast terri
tsry possesses all the essential elements to
make a growing, prosperous country, and all
we want to bring it to that point
from which it will soon pass into
statehood are capital and labor. The rail-
roads from the south, from the east and from
the west, that are now straining every nerve
to reach us, will bring them in our midst.
Capital will come to seek profitable invest
ment in eur numerous branches of industry,
and labor will follow for employment. Rap
id transportation will be furnished for our
ores and bullion, for u wool, hides, furs
and peltries, for our beef and mutton, and for
our surplus agricultural products. Homes,
hamlets, villages, towns and cities will spring
up and thrive where now the lonely farm
house and more lonely miners cabin stand.
Montanians can o see the day of their iso-
lation fast passing away. The trials and pri-
vations which they have cheerfully borne in
hewing out homes in this western wild will
pass with it. Montana's "boom" IS near at
hand. It cannot come too soon. We are
prepared for it.

Negroes Rejoicing.

GREENCAsTLE, Ind, Dec. 10.-A conven-
ton of colored emigrants from North Caro-
lima assembled to-day. Many speeches were
made, which expressed the sentiment that
they never really enjoyed the blessings of
freedom till they came here. They were
very enthusiastic in praise of their treatment
here, and urged a general movement toward
the free north. Resolutions embodying these
ideas were adopted, and an address issued
setting forth the ~terrors, disabilities and re-
strictlons on manhood in their life in the
south, and the advantages in the north. They
distinctly state, however, that Indiana is no
lazy mans paradise, but everybody must
work for a living.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

This great thorsughfare is advancing to-
wards us with mighty strides. The company
has recently perfected arrangements by which
it will be enabled to complete the road With
in three years. Work upon two divisions of
the road is % progressing and a larger force
will be added as soon as the weather permits.
The rails for the Pen d'Oreille division-209
miles IN length-ars on the ground, and
though some little delay is experienced for
want of ties, WORK is being pushed forward as
rapidly as the present lack of material will
permit. 1t is expected this division will be
finished within a year from the present time.
Between the Pen d'Oreille and the Yellow
stone division there is a gap of about 500
miles. Surveyors are now locating a route
for the latter DIVISION. The company has re.
Gently placed contracts for 81, 1000 tons of steel
rails, and the Detroit car works are building
$50 box, freight, ore and cattle cars, and the
Baldwin locomotive works are finish g W
twelve locomotives for it. The Northern Pa.
cifc will build the road itself, dealing directly
with the contractors without the intervention
of a construction company. They expect II
build = mile a day of the read during the
coming season.
The money to complete this great enter
prise will De furnished by a syndicate o.
bankers aud others who have entered into
contract with the company TO buy SAC, 900, OOt
OF bonds, payable in gold at the expiration o
