ADVICE TO IMMIGRANTS.

The interviews published in our local col
immigrants who may be regarded as fairly
representative of the great mass of those at
present tocking to this territory from tile
oyel-crowdel cities of the East, show that
| their expectations in regard to Montana are
not all possible Of realization. Impressions
have gone forth that any kind Of labor can
obtain employment here, and that willingness
to work is the only requisite for earning a
speedy and comfortable livelihood. These
impressions have already been the cause of
directing food Of immigration to the terri
tory at too early Q season in the year, and
are besides not altogether correct. One certain
class Of tradesmen, sUcl! as machinists, mill
wlights, carpenters and some other me-
chanicS are reasonably sure of obtaining
employment; but the vast majority OF those
at present coming to the Territory not only
have no trade, but have no money aud can
find no work which they are capable of per
forming. Their labor is of kind that CAN
not be utilized in mining camp, and itthcre-
fore becomes serious question with them
how to earn livelihood The prevailing
tendency seems to be to center in the mining
camps, but this certainly is not conducive to
their best interests, as it is impossible for
many Of them to obtain work.
The MINER, there fore, advises those who
are unable to secure employment to distribute
themselves among the farming settlements
and ranches, where there is no doubt they will
receive warm welcome from our granger
population. As far as can be ascertained all
those who have adopted this plan have sue
ceeded in obtaining employment, and there is
little doubt that many others could do like
wise. The advantages of such a course are
numerous, for besides obtaining comfortable
home without delay, they will soon become
accustomed to the usages Of the country, and
will before long be i'll position to take up land
for themselves and enter upon all independ-
ent career. There is no danger that the coun-
try will be overstocked with pilgrims. The
natural resources of the Territory are prac.
tcally limitless, and if newcomers will only
be advised to expend their labor where it will
inure to their own benefit, there is little dan
ger that any of them will ever regret the day
they settled III Montana.

Strong, one of the Democratic wheel
horses in that district in convention
openly conceded that it was Republic
can and then stated that if COthren
was elected it must be done by Repub-
lican votes; he then went Oh to state
how these Republican votes should be
secured-by a free use of money and
split tickets with deceptive headings
boldly advocating the scheme. In
openly advocating the adoption of
such measures Mr.. Strong exhibits
cheek that approaches the sublime and
quite eloquently illustrates the decep-
tiUn and fraud SO characteristic of the
Democratic party; he is entitled to the
thanks of the Republicans of that dis
trict whom he has insulted by the pro-

and they should see to it that Cothren,
who is the embodiment of all that is
Objectionable in Democratic princi-

MAINE.

Pioneer Press-Sept %.
The result of the Maine election is
settled, so far as unofficial returns can
settle it. Plaisted has ia plurality,
and there are AIS scattering votes.
At the same time the plurality amend
ment to the constitution has been
adopted by large majority. If this
result shall be confirmed by the official
canvass made by the legislature, and
if the supreme court shall decide that
the constitutional amendment is retro
active, Plaisted will be the next gov
ernor of Maine. But these are two
good sized ifs.
