THE FIRES.

Those Of our citizens who are familiar
with the methods of the Indians are
united in the opinion that the latter arein
the main responsible for the prairie fires
raging about Benton. Whatever their
motive may be the fact that they are
chiefly responsible obtains, and it seems
to us something should be done, if pos
sible, to check the evil and bring punish
ment upon the guilty parties.
The danger is 81 very great one. A few
year ago when the number Of cattle on
the ranges was small, no a~pprehensions
were felt from prairie fires but the case
is different now Extensive fires may
result in the death by starvation of thou
sands of head of cattle. IF the ranges are
burned off such will undoubtedly be the
result, and there is danger of just such q
thing happening. There has been SO
little rain this season that the grass is
dry and burns rapidly, and if the fires
are given full sway, without any at
tempt to subdue them, no one can tell
what the consequences may be.
The stock interest of Choteau county
are not second to any other, and it be-
hooves our people, particularly the stock
men, to take some action in the premises.
AT the same time some effective steps
might be taken to prevent disasters of
this kind in the future. 1t is about time
to make it ~unpleasantly warm for wal
parties passing through Choteau county
as they are ever liable to do mischief of
some kind. But a few weeks ago a small
party of Indians passed through the
county, going north with fifty Or sixty
head of horses stolen on the Yellowstone.
Such instances are frequent, and it
would be a wholesome thing to stop it,
even if tho Winchester policy must be
inaug urated.

MAJOR MAGINNIs has been hOnOred
by the people of Montana as has no
other citizen of the territory, having
been elected five successive times as their
representative at Washington. In ac-
cepting the nomination the last time he
stated in terms as positive as could be
that he would not again be a candidate
for that office, but it seems the pledge
then given has been forgotten. While
not openly in the race, he is DOUBTLESS
posing before the convention as q s'sal-
vation'' candidate, or rs our esteemed
neighbor puts it 1.-THE only man who
can save the party from ~disgraceful de-
feat If this were not the position of
Major Maginnis he would doubtless ap-
pear upon the scene and publicly and
positive state that be is not a candidate.
His absence and his silence both go to
show that he did not mean it when he
promised to retire on the laurels of ten
years service in congress. The state
ment that he is the only democrat
in Montana who can be elected or who
can honorably and successfully repre-
sent the territory at Washington is an
insult to the democracy of Montana.
The RIVER PRESS is free to admit that
Major Maginnis has done good service
in behalf his territory and constituents,
but there are plenty Of others who would
have done equally as well, or better per-
haps. if given a chance. The "old grey
horse,o to use a famili r figure, has been
made to do service these ten years past,
and it is time that he was turned for q
season and his place filled by another.

THE SECRET CAUCUS.

There is, naturally enough, d good
deal of opposition being manifested by
defeated candidates and others to the
secret caucus, as developed at the late
democratic convention. The ticket was
really nominated before the convention
met. The caucus, with closed doors,
determined upon the men that should be
put forward, and gentlemen who, i'm open
convention, would easily have secured a
nomination were laid aside at the beck
and nod of the bosses. But they did not
eve stop at this point. Leading demo-
Gratis who had come hundred miles
to attend the convention were all but re-
fused recognition. One of them was in
duced to consent, if appointed, to attend
the convention at Butte, and his friends
asked for the appointment, but even this
small boon was lot granted. By the
aid of the caucus they-gentlemen repre-
senting the upper Teton and Sun River
precincts-Were snubbed on every hand.
In open convention they would have re-
ceived leady recognition. In caucus the
qualifications OF the candidates were not
considered at all. It VAS simply a matter
Of availability and favoritism. Certain
ones were selected because they are sup
posed to be 'srustlers;;'' others because

The caucus was certainly effectual in

article than harmony in politics as well
