hat body. Hence the surprise at the result
o1 the late election. A few months ago the
Republican party Of New York was divided
INTO two bitter and hostile factions, but the
death OF the President allaVed the hostility
TO q great extent. This is make manifest by
the returns. But the Democracy is also d.
V1ded. Kelly. doubtless, did ali he could to
defeat the party, and succeeded as far as the
state ticket is concerned.
La Virginia Malone and bis Republican al.
lies were successful. They elect their COM
blnation ticket and secure the Legislature.
lt is 9 victory for reputation and one that
the Republican party can not be proud Of.
Mississippi stands true to the Democratic
colors. The state ticket is elected by ma
iorities estimated all the way from 3d. 900 to
10000. The Legislature is two-thirds Demo-
cratic.
The Republicans were successful as usual
in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and
Colorado. In New jersey the Democrats
have recovered the Legislature.
In these several contests the issues were
chiefly local and the results can not be con-
sidered as indicating very much. The Re-
publicans have now some prestige but they
need not expect to1ind the Democracy slum-
bering three years hence. The same hard
battle for the presidency must be fought over
in 1884 and it is much too early in the day
to arrive at the conclusion hat the party
successful last week will have a "walk over"

The New York ITibune's Washington cor
respondent is authority for the statement that
President Arthur has cast his lot with the
stalwarts and will nominate q Grant Cabinet
throughout as soon as Congress convenes.
The.sslate is said to be: ~Frelinghuysen, Fol
ger, Chaffee, Of Colorado, Filley, of Missouri,
Williamson, Of Iowa, Sergeant, Of Califor-
nia, Howe, Of Wisconsin, and Lincoln. We
hope that this is like most Of the news
furnished BY Washington correspondents
very wide of the truth.

THE official report Of Ex-SurVeyor Genera
Mason which will be submitted to Congress
at the meeting Of that body next month set!
forth many interesting items concerning
Montana. From a synopsis Of it by the
Washington correspondent Of the Inter:
Mountain we Gull the following:
The exterior boundaries of sixteen town
ships situated in the Judith Basin, in the
tributaries Of the Musselshell and the lower
Yellowstone have been run and tWenty-one
townships in the same ocality have been sub
run during the fiscal year ending June Both,
1880. The total costs Of surveys for The
year was $14, 434. 43; expense of inspecting
same 1881; and Office expenses, $6, 1913, %.
One hundred and sixty seyen surveys OF
lode and placer claims were returned and ap-
proved; 206 orders for surveys were issued.
The report states that s'the supply of agri.
cultural products is now limited by the local
demand. AS transportation facilities in
crease, large tracts Of land, some of which
are now considered worthless, will be placed
under cultivation, and the day is not far dis
tant when the wheat fields of Montana will
be as famous as those of Minnesota and Da-
kota.'
The yield from placer mines has been
slightly in increase of the previous year.
The yield from the gold lodes has also in
creased over the preceding year and the sill
yer yield is almost double that Of the pre-
vious fiscal year.
The most reliable estimates at the COM
mand of the Surveyor General place the ex-
port Of gold at So, 800, 900 and of silver 3d.
000,0 00-total, $50, 500, 900.
The number and value of stock assessed
during the year ending December 31st, 1880
was-horses, ST. 1856; mules, 1902; sheep,
249. 978; cattle, 1854, 35; hogs, 1864. Total
valuation Of the above at the assessors fig
ures, 5 1857, 661-an increase il number &c.
9M and in value $1,069,3 1874 over the pre-
vious year.
The population of the Territory is estimat-
ed at so, 900 an increase of 10, 900 since June
last. The great majority Of the men are pro-
ducers. Idlers are rar0 aces and cases of ex-
IRENE poverty almost unknown. There is
good demand for miners, mechanics and
farm hands. Montana needs capitalists to
develop her great natural %recourses.'
The highest temperature from July 1880 to
June, 1881, was 80 degrees; lowest, 36 deg,
mean, 40 to 46 deg. There were 1919 clear
days, 90 cloudy days; AZ snowy days; and 26
rainy days.
The total number of acres of land surveyed
in Montana to June Both, 1880 is II, 146, 1885,
50; acres surveyed during fiscal year, 384, :
403, There remains unsurveyed-mountain
land, 5O,451 acres; pastoral lands, $3.50
acres; total, 219;590 acres.
1t will be seen from the last figures given
that there is plenty of room for development
in our big Territory and the railroads are
certain to bring along the developers. The
next few years will be years Of activity and
rapid development for Montana The report
of the Surveyor General three years hence
will deal with figures much larger than the
foregoing.

q In the coming House Of Representatives
the Republicans will be one short Of a ma

can be counted upon as solid when the tug

Republicans will organize the House.

THE Commissioner OF Pensions wants Con-
CREST to appropriate 500, 600, 900 for disburse-

be p%ensioned by the Government they risked
their lives to save, but there is a vast deal Of
fraud connected with this pension business.

It isn't from the old mill, however. -Four

~ We would urge upon ,ll
Sabbath School teachers the im.
potiaus Of teaching the children
20 sing Weave informed IN God
holy word that singing praise 10
their Rcdgcmcrs name and tuning
their golden hirps to his honor
and glory employ the countless
millions Of the redeemed through
out the ceasclcss ages Of eternity
May wc not, therefore, on this sim
stained earth of ours, enjoy a
sweet forctasic Of The bliss Of
heaven as we listen to the melting
strains Of music, waited from the
guilcless lips Of children, rs It
echoes back the mnstrclsy Of
heaven and rolls up as the odor Of
sweet incense to the loving breast
of compassionate Redcemer.
While on the subject of Sabbath
School music, ! would suggest
that all schools comprised in this
Convention adopt Sabbath School
hymns suitable to sing in concert,
so that when we meet in Conven-
ton we can all unite in singing,
and like the "sound Of many wa
ters,' our voices may ascend to
Him who sitteth or the throne for
ever. Nor is it a subject Of small
Importance, the kind Of hymns we
select for children to sing. I'll
is plain, if we wish to benefit
them, we must interest them {;
and as the blood leaps through
their veins with all the fervor of
youth, we should select hymns and
tunes in conSonancc with their |
feelings. No matter how well we |
of mature years may bear the in
Fiction of long-metered hy:nn
of six or eight verses, children
lose interest in it long before the
close, and wish it ended.
Sabbath Schools are a great
work among the neglected chill
dren Of our towns and cities. 4 !
million and half of the laity have
been added to the christian teach
erS-among th.n seven hundred
pious women. 1t has increased
the interest in bible study; the
sale of bible commentators have
been greatly enlarged; Sabbath
School literature and periodicals
have grown TO immense proper
tons no less than five thousand,
two hundred and twcn.y-threc
conventions were held in this
country last year, and normal
institutes are springing up all over
the land for the education Of
teachers. Let US, therefore, keep
abreast Of the times and orgasize
Sabbath Schools in every corner Of
our land, for they are the nurseries
from whence the church draws a
large per centage Of its members.
According 10 statistics lately pub
lished, seventy-four thousand, two
hundred recruits are, annually,
drawn from this nursery, armed
and equipped, ready to enter the
worlds arena 10 fight the battles
Of the Lord against the open, un-
attacks Of in6delity or
the insidious, but more dangerous,
attacks Of popery.
In conclusion, let me urge upon
parents, officers, teachers and all
friends Of Sabbath Schools to push
on the glorious cause, in giving
the rising generation pure, reli-
gious training, for on them the
hopes Of this vast repsblic lies.
We soon will leave the stage Of
action, and on them will fall the
cares and responsibilities Of life.
