He complimented

was the most illiteracy. He complimented
the negroes upon their self-control and peace
ableness under their new political condition.
He had more belief than he had once in their
future advancement among the races. The
whole country was interested in the intelli-
gence Of the coIored population. There was
complaint that the negroes were cheated at
the polls. Ignorance can be cheated any
where. Educate these people up to the
knowledge Of their rights and form and spirit
Of our government and there will be less and
less danger. He hoped the blacks and whites
alike would be educated in the love OF repub-
lican institutions. He reiterated his belief
that republican institutions could best be III
sured by the spread Of education, and ap-
pealed to the representatives Of all parts of
the country to secure the general benefit by
this means.

Important Mining Bszl.

Senator Teller has introduced a bill pro7id-
ing that any person owning six or any less
number Of mineral lode, ledge, Or "blanket"
claims adjacent to each other, or not more
than half a mile apart. on which the assess
ment labor for the first year has been per-
formed, may thereafter perform upon any
one claim of the combined number the en-
tire assessment labor due upon the whole
number Of claims. II pay mineral is reach
ed on the claim worked, it shall then cease to
be counted as one Of the combination, and
another shall be selected on which to work
the assessment of the remainder, and so on
until pay mineral is reached on all or the
ground abandoned. The bill also provides
that claims located since May 10th, 1872,
whether located by one or more persons,
shall not exceed 1900 feet in length along
the vein or lode, and that no claim shall ex-
tend more than 800 feet on each side Of the
middle of the lode or location at the surface.

THE conservative and r~eactionary classes OF
Germany, which consist Of the authorities OF
the Catholic church, and a goodly share OF
the aristocracy, headed by the Empress, are
taking advantage of the Anti-Jewish senti.
meut to strike at Bismarck. The Chancellor
Is in open opposition to discrimination against
citizens of any class and race, and with all
bis personal despotism, is the most liberal
and democratic statesman Of Germany, and
his measures, though arbitrary, have a
general leveling tendency. We believe this
combination against him will fail as have all
the others, for there are political forces at his
disposal, which, if he should choose to use
them, would show very quickly where the
power Of Germany lies-in her masses. He
has used them before to confound his enc
mics, and may see fit to use them again.

which have merged into the more elevated
type Of the Christian belief. But we will
not discuss the origin of the day nor the gro
tesque associations which the medieval age
has engrafted upon it and handed down to
US, and which constitute a part of our youth
full associations.
It is the day given up to the true pleasure
Of giving, and this one will not be less noted
than those which have preceded it in this re-
gard, for from everywhere come sounds and
signs of preparation-trees loaded with all
things good, and questions concerning the
tastes Of individuals which at other times
would seem impertinent, but which now are
only harbingers Of mementoes for the sealing
Of old friendships and the creation Of general
good feeling.
It is par excellence the day Of rejoicing to
the little folks, and stockings will be hung up

and the certainty &C parental oversight. Ard
if we must muse, we might almost wish that
we could forget everything but tie faith
which gave to our early years their only
charm.
But it is a cay of Waterloo disaster for
turkeys which have been pluming themselves
On escaping the thanksgiving holocaust, and
on their sorrow is depending our enjoyment,
which will be taken in the fullness Of graft
tude for their unquestionable toothsome quail
ties, and they will add food for reflection with
the moral that in the eternal compensations Of
things turkeys may be evolved into higher ell
ements through the medium Of a good appe-
tite, and cranberry sauce.

MAN ERs' NOTES.

Work done outside of a mining claim III
| order to hold it, must have some distinct re-
lation to the claim, or be in reasonable prox-
unity to it.
II a party has the right of entry upon q
mining claim, his right is not vitiated by his
forcible or fraudulent exercise of such right,
and the party whom he ousted cannot be re-
| stored by ejectment.
The appropriation, by ditch for irEigating
purposes, of water from a spring, does not
prevent the owner of the land on which the
spring is situated from SO using his own land
as to cut off the supply from the irrigatlngE
ditch.
When a party stands by and sees a ditch
oWne appropriate the water of a creek to
his own use, at g great expense, and does not
inform him Of his claim to the waters, he
| and his vendees are estopped from afterwards
claiming the water.
If a person having q just right to mines
stand by until he sees whether the adventure
Of opening them result in profit, a court Of
equity will lend him no assistance. These
observations extend to every kind of trade,
but not with such force as they do to mines.
"A aume for the conveyance Of water is in
the nature of real estate, and q mortgage up
on it will, without any special provisions,
include all improvements then upon the line
Of the works, and also all those which may
afterwards be put thereon.
When the law requires a certain amount OF
labor to be performed within one year" the
locator has until the year expires to perform
such labor; and 9 party who enters upon his
claim after the other acts of location are
performed, but before the expiration Of such
year, is q trespasser.
From the necessity Of the case, every own
er OF a mine must submit to the %inconveni-
ence of having the water Of an adjoining
mine upon a higher level descend upon his
mine, SO long as it descends in the natural
course of drainage but that does not entitle
the owner of the adjoining mine to throw
upon him, in some other and more objection
able way, water which might be allowed to
descend upon him in a modified form not oc-
casioning the same amount Of injury to his
property

Hon. Mr.. BRAND, Speaker Of the House Of
Commons, delivered o speech at Lewis in
which he discussed q question that must in
terest every American. In speaking OF the
importation of American cattle, he said that
the prediction that the English farmers would
be crushed out by American importations
would never be fulfilled. As between the
English farmer and the American farmer it
was not d matter Of competition at all. He
thought it was rather q matter Of cooperation,
as the American farmer was just as heavily
taxed as the English. The cost OF labor was
greater to him, and be had q vast distance to
travel over, ID order to find d market for his
products. Mr. Brand evidently does not I'M
derstand the difference in the conditions af-
aiecting the stock raisers OF the two nations,
as he only includes those which are common
to both, and the only clause in bis remarks
which have any relevancy to the question IS
the greater distance ours must traverse in or
der TO reach q market. Il American cattle
raising was confined to the limits Of an En-

NEARLY % millions Of pounds of freight
were received in Benton last season, of which
all but 5 millions for the government was for
general distribution. In addition to this there
were received about 600 head of blcoded
stock. The number Of passengers who chose
this route for coming into the Territory
was 1883. Down freight, which consisted
nearly Of wool, robes, hides and furs, amour
ted to 3,S69, 042 pounds and 469 passengers.
Those who doubt the value Of Benton as a
distributing point will be reassured by a
glance at the above figures, and their indica-
tons point only to one conclusion, that Ben
ton has advantages which must inevitably
cause her to become the leading commercial
city Of this entire section of Montana and the
British possessions Immediately contiguous.
The Benton s'P'' and Coulson Line carried
all of this immense freight. with the exception
of a little that was brought by the Red Cloud,
which is SO unWieldy and uncertain as to be
useless for the navigation Of the Upper Mis-
souri,. Some steerage passengers brought by
the latter were said to have received brutal
and inhuman treatment. The verdict Of
passengers relative to the Benton stP" and
Coulson lines, was, however, unanimous Of
pleasant treatment, and excellent accommoda-
tons.
