The death of Rev. DIR. +. II. Chaplin re-
moves from the earthly sphere of exis-
tence, one Of the most celebrated pulpit
orators and divines in America. As a
brilliant and powerful exteppore speaker
he had not his equal on this Continent.
He led pure and upright life entirely
controlled and permeated by the religious
principles of which he was the most able
and eloquent defender and advocate. The
New York Post says of him: Until re-
cent years DIR. Chaplin was as active upon
the platform as in the pulpit. He was
abreast OF all the advanced and substantial
thought OF his generation. We say SUBJ
stantial because while he had an open ear
and an eloquent voice in wise reforms he
steered clear Of all doubtful issues He
was both radical and conservative. radical
in his hospitality for new and good things.
conservative of the lasting religions and
ethical principles by which he tested them.
His style was attractive for the hearty
sincerity the wholesome enthusiasm which
gave glowing vitality to his finished et-
forts and his most rhetorical periods. In
the practical science of sermon making.
the art Of blending the cnergetical with
the topical, and presenting subject in
way both compact and varied, he had few
equals in the American pulpit. His death
is loss not only to the Universalist de-
nomination, but to the broad church which |
IL bounded by no sectarian lines, |
and which can i'll spare its champions in
the peculiar dangers which to-day beset it. |
Last April he went to Europe for his
health and returned in August. after which |
he gradually grew worse until last night. |
None of the physicians could tell the ex-
oct nature Of his ailment, which is said to
have been primarily caused by over-study
and was undoubtedly general debility. |
Thirty thousand British soldiers in ireland,

ton Of penury and want, unparalleled in the
history Of modern civilization. Rebellion or
starvation their only choice. Brave men

than an excessive love Of country. Business
paralysed. Starving multitudes investing
the market places, and red coated guards

Large game OF all kinds is abundant,

1t is as a grazing country that this excels
all others, and here. the bright anticipations
OF the immigrant become glorious realities to

unnecessary.
Cattle Craze from spring to spring as depths
of snow that would interfere with their so do

truthfully be made that Montana is per-

vent cattle from straylng away, the rest will

neutrality-suspicious. iend, who has done
more to beggar the farmers of Wisconsin and
Minnesota than any other agency, except
twelve per cent. interest, has no mission here,
as the raising of grain will never become
dominant industry. Grass is king, and I'M
der his rule the brolIen-down men, and wea-
ry, faded women, whose lives the old tyrant
wheat has made lives of ceaseless toll, be-
come rejuvinated, and the lives that for years
have been buried under the dust and grim
of harvesting and threshing, reappear and
blossom again as in the happy days of long
ago.
The climate is delightful, and more pleas
ant days are recorded every year for Monta-
ma than tor any other section of the United
States. Heat sufficient to more than coun-
ter balance her somewhat alarming nearness

the waters of the South Pacific, and is dis
trlbuted over the mountains and valleys
within her borders by carriers that never

What wonder is it that Montanians believe
theirs to be the best country in the wor ldf
or that new corners so quickly become shar-
ers in their belief No land promises so fair;
nowhere is the fulfillment so exact.
Very soon the iron horse will slake his
thirst in the Yellowstone, and then tide of

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

An eastern paper, friendly towards
General Grant, advises every delegate
to the Chicago Convention to devote
ten minutes to the serious contempla-
ton of the following paragraph
1.-The number of doubtful States is
not small. The result of many of them
will depend upon the nominees. If
due regard is paid to the wishes of
the large Republican majority in sew
eral of these States, they can be car
ried for the Republican nominee if
their wishes are overridden, it will be
useless to hope for success in those
States. We must look first to the
availability of the candidates, and not
to the number of delegates represent
ed by credentials at the disposal of
COnkling, Cameron, Logan, Blaine,
Grant or Sherman. If the contest
shall become so bitter that any one or
two of the leaders shall vindicate
themselves by the rejection of the
most available candidate, because they
cannot nominate their own, their vic
tory will be achieved at the cost of
the party's. OF such leaders the few
er there are in the party the better for
it and the millions of voters of which
it is composed"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

All who feel an interest in National
affairs, now that the election of dele
gates to the National Republican Con-
vention has been completed, will await
with anxious interest the result of the
deliberations of that body which con-
venes at Chicago on Wednesday next.
Untrammelled by instructions there is
not a majority of the delegates favor
able to the nomination of any certain
man, and we are still of the opinion
that the bitterness engendered be-
tween the respective friends of Grant,
Blaine and Sherman during the past
four months, will convince the con.
vention of the advisability of naming
a compromise candidate. While the
machine" may be all powerful in
New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois,
we yet question its ability to control
the National Convention, and are in.
clined to agree with the Pioneer Press
in the belief that "God Almighty and
the American people are stronger than
Conkling, Cameron and Logan"
