THE COLOR LIME.

Much ado has been made during the past
few days about the alleged action OF the
School Board 10 admitting colored children
TO the public school, and the dying embers
Of color prejudice have been famed into q
fame by an editorial which recently appeared
ia the Record. On the assumption hat such
has been the action in the premises, the edi-
tor proceeds to argue that it is q grand mis-
take, and even has the assurance to call on
the Board to right the grevious wrong ~
that has been done.
Neither the facts set forth, nor the theory
based upon them, will stand the test. AS
we understand it, there are but four negro
children III the WI Of school age, and only
two Of these are applicants for school priv
ileges, the children of Mrs. Ellen Sewers.
These children are fully seven-eights white,
and in admitting them it cannot be charged
that the Board has drawn the color line very
distinctly. Further than this the Record and
the over sensitive few that are '~'kicking"
have no grounds for complaint. The child
dren have five times more Caucasian blood
in their veins than African, and we fail to
see why they should be excluded from school
privileges.
The time has certainly come when .he old
prejudice on accout of color should be root
ed out. In nearly all the States colored chill
| dren are admitted to the schools with whites,
when there are not s sufficient number of the
former to organize q separate school, and it
is right. The wal of the rebellion and the
amendments to the Constitution have done
away with distinction of color-and white
and black enjoy equal privileges before the
law. The old prejudice against the colored
race is fast dying ont elsewhere in the Union
and we hope that Montana will not long fos-
ter it. Instead OF deserving censure for
their actions in the matter referred to, tue
Board is to be commended for giving the
children mentioned q chance to receive in
structions.

The total area OF Montana, in round num-
bers, is JAG, 900 square miles, being larger
than any Of the States or other organized
Territories, except California, which has
15S, $50; Texas, 275, $50, and Dakota, 149. 100
square miles. In States and organized Ter
ritories number forty-eight, and yet Montana
contains one-twentieth of the total area. It's
river surface equals about one thirty fifth,
and its lake surface one sixty-sixth Of the
whole. Montana is larger than Connecticut,
Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, Ohio and New York, combined; and
yet we have no vote in the councils of the
nation. Within another decade, however,
we shall have two Senators and four Repre-
sentatives in Congress Courier.

RIDD LEBERGER has been elected Senator
from Virginia. Only q short time ago the
same Riddleberger was seeking the position
of Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, and for
several weeks a deadlock was maintained to
preyeut his election. The Democratic Sena-
tors thought him unworthy to fill that place,
usually eiyan 10 party workers who have
more bfasa 40 egoiism than anything else.
Riddleberger might have made an average
doorkeeper, but the dignity of the august
Senate is lowered considerably by his admis-
sion as q full-dedged member OF thai
body. When the administration and party
workers threw their influence in favor
Of Reputation in order to secure the success
Of Mahone's tools, including Riddleberger,
they did something they will yet be ashamed
of. IL Malone and Riddleberger are the
wedges with which is proposed to split the
aolid South, all we have to say is that The IN
strnmeuf s are not well selected, and they will
not do the work.

SENATOR CocKRILL, of Missouri, has in
troduced a bill in the Senate which contem-
plates the uniting of the waters of the Mis-
souri, and Columbia rivers, if practicable.
The bill authorizes the Secretary of War to
cause a preliminary survey to be made of one
or more of the passes between one or more
OF the affluents OF the Upper Columbia and
the head waters of the Missouri with the view
of ascertaining the distance between the nav
igable waters Of said streams and the charac-
ter, elevation, water supply and facilities OF
the intervening co%untry'and The practicable
ty OF uniting the two rivers by a canal or
stack water navigation, the probable cost,
reasonable benefits to result therefrom, and
to report the result to Congress. The bill
calls for an appropriation of $40, 600 to meet
the expenses Of The survey. This is a gigan-
tic scheme and well worth the cost Of testing
its practicability.

MAJOR WALKER, of Helena, is q candidate
for Governor of Montana, and is very con-
fdent of securing the prize. The Major
would make. we think, an excellent Goven
or, and we would be pleased to hear Of his
appointment. But he is not likely to gel
there. Ia the first place he is q resident of
the Territory, and it is about as difficult for a
Montana man to secure a Montana appoint
ment as II Is for camel to get through the
eye of u needle, la the second place his
chief reliance, Seaa,of Malone, is not likely
to have mach iat snce ia the matter OF ap-
p~ointrnen.s out4las ct Virginia. Unless Ma
jor Walseg hes httter backing at Washlngt' n
than the L.tl!e Repudialor, his prospects are
indeed very slim. The chances are about
ten to one that some ward politician OF New
York City will be sent out here to succeed
Governor Potts.

The Montana District.

To the RIVER Press.
In my article in your Holiday number, on
the above district, my attention has been
called to several things which it is necessary
should be explained to prevent erroneous i'm
pressions:
The names Of the discoveries Of the camp
are Messrs. Neihart, O'Brien and Harley,
and not hubert, O'Brien and Harley, this
being a typographical error. Mr.. John MI
bert has no mine, claim or location in this
district.
. In mentioning the ed. Mann and Noun
tain Chief" / Inadvertently placed them as
extensions of the Hercules" l fully in
tended to say that it was a disputed point, as
the owners Of the above lodes claim them as
extensions of the 'Homestake." In men
tioning the names of firms, / only mentioned
the name of one party, to abreviate the arti-
Gle, and thus, unavoidably, missed mention
ing parties who may think they ought to have
been there. Again, other parties are now in
terested in the discoveries, thus, MIR. w. s.
Stockings, of Fort Benton, owns one half of
all my locations In the district, being four in
number, and in a similar manner other par
ties who are interested have been omitted.
