THE New York Tribme;s London CORE
spondent, George W. Smalley, gives this as
bis version of the true inwardness Of the
Egyptian imbroglo. He writes: "Arabi
Pasha Is nothing more nor less than an I'M
scrupulous military adventurer, with ali
army largely made up Of ex'convtcts and
other cain,inals. His object is merely to es-
tablIsh military despotism of Egypt for the
benefit of himself and his followers. To put
down such an adventurer and to establish
the authority of the law are to work directly
In favor of the better future of Egypt. This
is giving the true National party in that
country chance" 1t should be recollected
however, that Mr.. Smalley has been so long
London correspondent of the Tribune, and is
so identified with English sentiment that his
Judgment in the matter Is not entitled to any
more consideration than that of thorough
bred Englishman. 1t Is not England's bust
ness to look after the local affairs Of Egypt
even If Arab Pasha Is an adventurer, and

c,xl Service Reforrners.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-The attendance at
the National Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton was unusually large. Among the prom
inent delegates present were George WIN.
Curtis. Carl Schurz, Sherman 5. Rodgers,
Silas w. Burk, Charles Theodore Russell,
Bancroft c. Davis and Josiah Quincy, Dr.,
The general and executive committees held
a session with closed doors. After the ex-
ecutiye session Geo. W. Curtis delivered an
address, which was a severe arraignment Of
President Arthur for the removal Of compe-
tent officers. Fifty per cent of the office
holders whose terms expired during Arthurs
administration had been dismissed. The
Presidents course had been such as to de-
mand some radical reform.
Mr.. Curtis frequently spoke OF the Presi-
dents party appropriations for civil service
reform, and the heavy and needless appro-
priations for that purpose were sarcastically
referred to. He hoped every candidate for
| Congress would be obliged TO show his hand
| on the civil service reform question before
collecting the political assessments referred
| to. shows the association was making pro-
gress. Jay Hubbell's attempt to collect
political assessments and the bulldozing Of
Government employees with families de-
pendent upon them for support, he severely
condemned.
The civil service reform work in Penn
sylvania was referred to and the untarnsh'
ed record of the party in that state pictured
reform that could divide the state was fire
that would spread all over the land. Tn
bosses In the Keystone state had beer
called TO halt. Political history was read Il
show that no one party was able to stan'
against the wishes of the masses. Wher
Curtis closed he was honored with an ova
ton and the thanks of the association
Carl Schurz, Harris Rodgers, Vaughn ant
Cassett were appointed committee Of
resolutions and recess taken.

SATURDAYS kilograms say the President
signed the Legislative Appropriation Bill
This bill Is the one that includes the organic
sation of q Board to apportion the Territory
and 1t Ia presumed it was enacted as reported
1.-The Governor (B. F. Potts), Chief Justice
ID. s. wade), President Of the Council (Jos'
K. Toole), and Speaker Of the House (John
J. DoRnelly) constituting the Board. Asthe
Board Is equally divided politically, the first
two being Republicans and the lasttwo Dem
ocrats, 1t is not certain that speedy appor'
sionment will be agreed upon. 1t will GER
tainIy not be unless the immense Council
Distr,ca are broken up, but we believe the
Democratic members will not insist on, o.
perhaps will not propose, the districting a
adopted by the majority of the Board tw'
years ago and that will remove the main &C
casion Of dlscord.

Adjournment of Congress-.

WASHINGTON, August s.-Congress adj
journed very quietly to-day. In the Senate
when the closing hour arrived, it found not
more than twenty-five Senators present; and
in the house when the speaker declared that
body adjourned SINE die, less than four score
members were in their places to hear him.
In the House contrary to the usual custom,
no resolution of thanks to the speaker
was offered; an omission which has excited
much comment.

THE call for the assembling Of the Repub-
lican Territorial Convention at Butte, Sep
TENDER 18th, to nominate candidate for
Delegate to Congress Is published In this Is
sue. The apportionment is fair one, the
committee using Its discretionary power,
wisely we think, in giving some Of the new
counties now filing up a larger representa-

GENERAL GovERNEUR X. WARREN, who
we believe was one Of the bravest and best
Of the Union Generals, died at Newport, r..
l., Tuesday night It is thought the action
Of the Court Of Inquiry in relation to his
conduct at Five Forks induced great mental
depression and was perhaps indirectly the
cause OF his death. Fitz-John Porter who
we believe threw of battle is exalted and
Governor X. Warren who ever did valiant
service is driven to an untimely grave. 1t is
another evidence that Republics are migrate
full.

greatest good humor prevailed on oil sides Of

appearance of q reunion Of eight friends

this state of affairs about Can anything

who sent that dispatch should be beheaded

Railroad Building IN 1882.

CHICAGO, August 3.-The Raii,cay Age
has figures showing that the total construc-
ton of main lines of railroad for seven
mouths In the United States has been more
than 5000 miles. Should the proportion
hold good during the remainder OF the year,
the total mileage built for 1882 would be
nearly $4,000. but it is not likely to iun over
10000, although. as a rule the heaviest work
Is done during the latter months Of the year.

Illustrated Correspondence Ne,c North West.
Ex-senator Stephen W. Dorsey, whose
name is unpleasantly prominent in star-route
matters at the present time, was born at Ben
son, Vermont, February 2S, 1872. He re-
ceived an academical education. When a
mere boy he removed to Oberlin, Ohio. At
the outbreak of the war he volunteered into
the Union army, and served under General
Grant at Shiloh, General Buell. a, Perryvllle,
General Rosecrans at Stone River and Chat
tanooga. and General Thomas at Mission
Ridge. In the year 1864 he was transferred
to the Army Of the Potomac, and took part
In the b; ttles of the Wilderness and Cold
Harbor. He served until the close Of the
war, then returned TO Ohio, aud entered the
service of the Sandusky Tool Company, OF
which he rose to be president. Contempor-
airy with this promotion he was elected,
without his knowledge, TO be president OF
the Arkansas Central Railroad Company.
Consequent upon this he removed to Arkan'
sas, where he was chosen chairman OF the
Republican State and County Committees.
He declined a seat in Congress offered him
by the First District, but when elected
United States Senator, almost unanimously
accepted the honor. He took his seat as
Republican on the 4th of March, 1873. Dur
ing the campaign of 1880, ex-senator Dor

TIE Independent of Saturday, IN review
ing the political situation after ascertaining
the sentiments of reputed candidates, says
there do not seem to be any West Side Dem
ocrats who wish the Delegate nomination,
aud after Analysing the situation concludes
the outlook is rather blue unless the Democ-
racy can unite on a man who can secure the
railroad influence. 1t then adds; "Hon.
Martin Maginnis has publicly and privately
announced that he would not be candidate
for reelection. This is his latest utterance.
lie desires to engage in other pursuits for the
purpose of lettering his fortunes. One thing
| however is certain: Maginnis can secure the
railroad vote IL nominated. He has done 1t
| In the past, and can DO it again. Can any
other candidate do it? We cannot afford to
lose this vote. TAoyears hence our rail-
roads will be completed and the field Will
then be open to all sspirants. Although Mr..
| Maginnis has declined TO become candidate
| he cannot refuse a denomination II rendered
by the convention without solicitation"
This is pretty strong pull for Major Ma
ginl.is. But the Independent We believe
reckons without the host. We know Hon
Joseph X. Toole will receive strong support
and Hon. A. Z. Mayhem, who has done a.
sturdy service for his party as any man in It,
has friends who will name him and probably
nominate him If he will permit his name tt
be used in opposition to Mr.. Toole. If thu
friends of Major Msginns expect the conven
ton to nominate him they had better SETTLE
down to hard work without delay. As thu
Republicans propose to elect their nominee
the Democratic standard bearer will only
have the glory of a campaign as his recon
pense, but there are still those of that per
suasion In Montana who will sacrifice them
| selves.

Secretary Teller, If we recollect Alright, re-
Gently gave an opinion that where valuable
mine had been acquired priorto the issuance
of TOWNSHIP titles covering such mineral
claims, the mine owner was entitled TO such
surface rights rs would enable him to work
his mine and reduce his ores; but that II the
mine and ores were valueless, the mine OWL
ers could not use such title 10 blackmail sur
face owners-in effect that 1t was the intent
of the law to simply sell with the mine such
surface ground as was necessary in working
the lead and reducing the ores. This would
seem TO be a rational Interpretation ofthe act
and one that would lead to an adjustment OF
the many conflicts arising under vague law
upon which many rulings and Department
opinions have been expressed, but when
still remains unadj Indicated by the Courts. 1t
Ia true the pa.entees of mines may have paid
for surface area; but SO also have lot owners,
and their titles also come from the Govern
ment, and they have possessed, paid taxes
upon, in many instances built upon sucf
ground. Who has the better title the min
eral patenlee who acquired 1t to work mine
or the town lot patentee, who acquired It fol
building purposes. 1t would seem to us thai
| II the mineral patentee had prior title and
the surface was necessary for working and
reduction and had not been reserved out o.
his patent, he would be entitled to work hi:
mine and reduce his ore. But II he had ne
mine, or the surface had been reserved fol
town lots, or was not necessary in the work
| ing of his mine, the town lot owner who hat
purchased under Government title woult
have exclusive rights. If the TOWNSHIP IT'LL
was issued prior to the mineral title, ant
mineral rights were reserved, 1t would Ger
tainly be required that the existence OF val
| ,.hia ,,;narals should he established.

WE NOTICE by the latest dates received
that the Miner and Inter Mountain are Drift
ing into what promises to b. bitter contro-
versy over the town site cases, when they
really have the same object In view and only
differ as 10 the method. The. Miner advo-
Gates vigorous, united and uncompromis-
Ing Eight In the courts against the alleged
but non existing surface rights Of the min
ine companies who have brought suit. The
Inter Mountain apparently believes that the
judicial rights are with the lot owners, but
II the mine owners offer to relinquish claim
for reasonable compensation, IL were better
for lot owners to accept and cleartheir titles;
II the mine owners are unreasonable then to
Eight. II seems probable that the theory Of
the Inter Mountain Is that lot owners Will
not stand up solidly and permanently
through the litigation but will drop out one
By one and compromise, weakening the de-
Tense morally and financially and that II
might be best for oil TO compromise together
rather than enter upon tedious and uncertain
LITIGATION. The Miner apparently holds thai
these mineral claim demands are simply aI
sxtorion, and have no foundation either II
law or equity, and that united and irrecon
cilable resistance to them ID public and pa
triotic virtue. II the mine owners can 60
tsblish legal title, then yield; until that
done pay them nothing. Dn stated that II
the Smokshouse patent the town site right
are reserved out and the patent has been re
turned 10 Washington TO have the reservation
stricken out. That will not be done; and
least pending action thereon no compromis
should be- thought Of. We believe the cours

true no lot owner can be prevented from

It appears strange the government should
issue conflicting titles, but the government
does do 1t, or what practically amounts In
the enl to Its issuing two titles to the same
properly. If John Doe, purchases 100 acres
Of land In Deer Lodge valley he pays $3.50
Ger acre for each OF the 100 acres. But he
may find subsequently that land grant rail-
way company has prior thereto been given
q righ. of way over bis land, and the railway
company may claim without compensation
Its full right of way grant of'land out Of the
very acres he has paid for. He had In fact
purchased the 100 acres subject to any prior
Legislation and paid FOR lands that the Uni
ted States had previously given away. This
appears wrong, but 1t Is the way things are
done. The question between mineral and
town site claimants appears In not any better
shape, but We believe has not yet been deci
ded. II lot owners and mine owners haze
