/ On Monday next our law makers will NEE
In Helena. The session will be of more In
tcrest than any preceding. Errors exist IL
many laws already passed, while others ar
of as little practical benefit as though the.
had never been placed in the statutes. Pc
litically, 1t might be well to remark, boil
Houses are Democratic. In the Council
composed of II members, Hon. Frank l.
Worden, of Missoula co lnty, will alone rep
resent the Republican party. The House
which will consist of "A members, is com
posed of II Democrats and Republic
cans. II Is safe to venture the prediction
before the passage of law, even before the
organization of these bodies, that II partizar
measures are enacted the Republican party
will not be entitled to the blame. Legisla.
ton of a partizan class, bowever,is not likely
TO occupy much of the time of the forthcom-
ing session. Many subjects of importance,
which rise above party prejudices or local de-
sires, demand careful and considerate exam
inaiion that laws may be enacted which will
work for the good Of the entire Territory. A
brighter day, the dawning of which is dimly
discernible through the mists of doubt and
and suspense which have for so long over
Swallowed this vast Territory, Is almost here.
Railway communication, subject of endless
debates In preceding Legislatures, has come
to our doors without aid, and another year
will work marvellous changes In this once
isolated section of the country. With the
coming of the railroads will come capital to
open mines, erect and operate manufactures,
aud the increased demand for labor will
bring within the borders of Montana the
class of Immigration needed for work. A
lawless, profigate element will as certainly
be attracted, but In anticipation Of such a
class of citizens provision can be made for
their government. TI
A question to come before the Legislature
will be that of the division Of this county.
Whether or not such a measure will become
a law Is to be decided, and II passed 1t should
be submitted to vote of the taxpaying resi-
dents of the county. A line of division can
be agreed upon without serious difficulty, We
believe, and once agreed upon should re-
main the line without being subject to alter
alton by men no know little ifanything ofthe
topography of the country to be divided and
yet who are likely to vote upon measure
in direct opposition to the wishes of citizens
most interested.
We have confidence enough in the ability
of members comprising the Legislative As
sembly to expect the enactment of laws to
govern Montana during the next two years
which will work for the good of those now
here and those who will come. Wise legis-
lation was never before so urgently needed,
and the men who frame or vote for the pas
sage of law cannot exercise too great an
amount of caution. In acting justly toward
all sections, working for their welfare as
though each were the home of the member
and his constituents, laws will be put upon
the statutes to which all Montanians will re-
fer with pride and the man who acts thus be
honestly deserving of the plaudit well done.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD.

! How He Intends to Conduct Himself.
/, CHICAGO, Dec. 3o-The Times, in an ID.
teresting special from Mentor, gives the FOL.
lowing: a keen observer, whose opportuni.
ties to form correct opinion are excellent
said: Gen. Garfield Is D lover of peace. and
he will do all in his power to preserve unity
and harmony in his party. You win re
member in the Chicago Convention he was a
great peace maker, even while taking the
leading part in the proceedings. If he feels
hurt by Conkling's- apparent snabs during
the campaign he is too manly to exhibit his
wounds to the public by any spitefIl act to-
ward Senator Conkling or his friends. He
will not follow the ridiculous example of
Gen. Grant, who refuses to speak tn Senator
Blaine because that gentleman does not ia
vor all the schemes for Grants benefit. His
charity Is broad enough to recognize the fact
that man of Conkling's peculiar tempera-
ment could not avoid the exhibition of some
bitterness after so great disappointment rs
he suffered at Chicago. He intends to be
President in fact as well as in name, and as
sumo whatever responsibility may be neces-
sary to show that he has a mind of his own.
He has been greatly annoyed by the story of
treaty with Grant and Conkling, and he
win quietly demonstrate by his acts that no
such treaty was ever made. He will. not al
low the country to believe that anybody can
dictate TO him, yet will not offend any rival
leader in such manner as to excite public
sympathy for the offended person. Hayes
has repeatedly done this, and Garfield has
too much good sense to follow his example.
If he ever gets into any difficulty with Conk-
ling or any other Republican leader, he will
do 1t In such way as to retain the good will
of his party and win the applause of the
country. In other words, he will act indie
pendently and justly and prudently. If any
prominent Republican is foolish enough to
quarrel with him, of course there will be
pretext enough and a fight may be forced.
Garfield is not the man who will be worsted,
mark that. .s ss@ @s."" v sA

A Good Word for Montana.

Under the caption of "Our Near Neigh
bors," the Salt Lake Tribune in its issue of
January lst has the following in regard to
this Territory:
"But the country north of us is the region
which now possesses most attractions.
Whether Idaho or Montana is to bear away
the palm, can not yet be told; but each is Sc
cure in winning glory enough for one Terri
tory. Butte is to have within five years as
many inhabitants as Salt Lake City has now.
There does not seem to be any doubt of that
fact. 1t has cluster of mines which will re-
quire thousands of men to work so soon as
the necessary machinery can be got in there.
Early in the coming year it will have direct
railroad communication with the world, and
then it will have boom indeed. That is
but one district, while dozen others claim
their full share of confidence. The North
ern Pacific BIAS crossed the border from the
east, and in two years more the headwaters
of the Yellowstone will be an old settled
country, so to speak. The passenger in the
palace car riding through that country will
become an unbeliever in the tales of hard
ship, pain and danger suffered by those who
first blazed the trails and upreared the signal
stations in that land, that civilization might
follow. Besides her mines, Montana is full
of forests and clear streams, and whose en-
pires in extent of waving grass and rich val
leys wait for the coming of the hus5andman.
The long winter nights and the cold will
make homes very dear spots there, and will
make every domestic animal pet. In such
lands patriotism is always deep seated; the
men grow to be strong, brave tender race,
and home being the dearest spot on earth, the
mother is the adored center. Such a race
can Away be counted upon when courage,
strength, patience aud self-sacrifice are re-
auired of a people,"

GarheId's Cabinet

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The Times Washing
ton special says: Blaine has been offered the
premiership of the new administ ration, and
will accept. He has said rs much TO one oil
two intimate friends. Those who desire to
know the policy of the administration can
obtain 1t by careful study of Blairie's atti.
tude on prominent questions. 3a' 81" ..
Charles Foster has been offered and ac-
cepted the Secretaryship of the Interior.
This statement comes from people in high
official place. Garfield has positively made
up his mind to offer the Secretaryship Of the
Navy to Levi P. Morton within a few days.
1t is pretty we'll settled that the Pacific
Coast will be given a representative in the
Cabinet. Congressman Horace Davis is
very well spoken of for the position of Post
master-General. 1t is said on the highest
authority to be question in Garfield's mind
whether TO give the Postmaster-G eneralship
or the Attorney Generalship to the Pacific
Coast. Sam Wilson, one of the most promi-
nent lawyers of San Francisco, Is urgently
pushed for the Attorney Generalship. These
two plans are under advisement. No decis-
ion has been reached. Hayes learned that
Morton was to be taken into his administra-
ton and rendered him the Secretaryship OF
the Navy, which Morton declined, on the
ground that he did not want TO take the
Navy Department just at that time. Gar
field made one request about New York APP
pointments which clearly indicates his posi-
ton toward all. Col. Sheppard acquired
prominence in New York State politics by
lighting Conkiing, and Is an applicant for the
appointment of District Attorney to succeed
s. L. Woodford. Garfield requested Hayes
to appoint Sheppard. Hayes has not been
anxians tn mako theeo anti Conkling APP
pointments. Evarts has been mainly in
strumented In deciding upon energetic &C.
ton in these New York cases. Blaine is to
be premier Of the coming administration, and
If any one thinks Conkling win get very
much from an administration where Blaine
is principal adviser, he must be very cred
ulous child of nature. @"F

Whitaker Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-At a Cabinet
meeting to-day ,all being present but Devens
the Whitaker case was discussed without fl
nal action. The Cabinet do not believe that
Whitaker should be given another chance a,
West Point. An argument was submitted
containingtwo alternatives: FRS, that Whit
tske should have court martial trial; and
second, that he be reinstated in the Academy
The argument says the cadet was placed at a
great disadvantage at his first trial, whose
findings were only partial, by being obliged
to prove himself innocent. His absence from
the classes during the trial necessarily put
him behind in his duties; and besides, his
marks, as shown by the records, are not SO
low as to justify expulsion. .-''

Senatorial and Cabinet Speculations

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga private letter
received in this city indicates to a considera-
BILE certainty that Eugene Hale will be elect
ed to the U. S. Senate to succeed Hamln.
On the other hand the Lewiston Journal of
the ed inst. announces Congressman Frye
as saying that the report that he had given
up all hopes of being elected to the Senate
and had commenced to canvass for the
Speakership of the House is pure invention.
He will remain candidate for U. S. Sena-
tor and considers his chance of success good.
"The developments of the past week." the
Journal adds, shave only strengthened his
confidence in this direction" A prominent
Maine Republican, now in Washington, makes
the triple prediction that Hale will be elect
ed to succeed Senator Hamlin, that Blaine
will 90 into Gartield's Cabinet as Secretary
of State, and that Frye will succeed Blaine
in the Senate.

Washington Items.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Democratic
members of Congress now In Washington
seem 10 be unanimously of the opinion that
sefne apportionment measure should be pas
sed this session and say the dominant major
ity fully intend to take action on the sub
ject. Representative Thompson, Of Ken
lucky. member of the Census Committee,
remarked to-day that in view of the general
mandatory provision of the Constitution con-
corning Congressional appointments he
thought this Congress would be guilty of
grave dereliction of duty If it failed to pass
an apportionment bill, besides, he said, the
Legislatures of Is or 10 States which would
be in session within few days could re-dis-
trict those States under an immediate reap
portionment, whereas, should the apportion-
ment be left to the next Congress, most Of
them would be put to the trouble and ex-
pense of an extra session. He believes an
apportionment dill can be promptly enacted
regardless of any real or imaginary effect up
on political parties, and says his colleagues
Oh the Census Committee have these convic-
lions and will labor to secure the desired ac-
ton. 1t Is understood that the Committees
are inclined to leave 1t to the House itself to
determine what shall be the total numbe: of
Representatives for the next decade and will
report only the necessary framework of a
bill, together with several alternative propo-
sitions. On the aggregate membership Cali
fornia will gain one member. Under any
one of these propositions it is probable be-
fore conclusion is reached there may be
considerable interesting debating as to how
far, the present Constitutional amendment Is
contravened by seats in the North as well as
the South by proper qualifications and vari-
GUS other instructions on right Of suffrage.
The local paper to-day publishes letter
from ex-senator Mitchell denying statement
made by 1t that he is trying to obtain place
in Garfield's Cabinet.
The National Republican commences its
new year by announcing Geo. C. Gorham as
lis editor-in-chief with Hallet Kilbourne as
general manager, and Assistant Postmaster
General Geo. A. Shendon and Henry d.
Cooke, engineers of Board of Trustees.

Of the occurrence, and admitted that his lam
guage was wholly unjustifable, and for it he
made his humble apology to the heuse. Mr..
Sparks said that he had used language that
conficted with the rules of.the house and
was supplementary. lie felt that he owed
an apology TO the house and therefore ten
dercd 1t. The Chicago papers all agree in
characterizing Sparks conduct as that of
BLACKBOARD and call on his constituents to
retire him and send a gentleman back to
Congress in his place. His previous outra-
geeus conduct in the ease when Glymer OPP
posed some of his whims is still fresh, and
adds to the disgust with which he inspires
even his political friends. Weaver also
comes In for some share of the blame.
