ties now stand, who has any chance Of

ties now stand, who has any chance of
election
"A1ld that nan is
.sWilbur F. Sanders
But Sanders has been defeated seyer
al times already"
Eyes, but it has not hurt him in fact
he is the only man in the territory whom
defeat would not weaken, and the only
candidate who has made the democrats
work to beat him.
DO you think the candidacy two
years ago gave them any uneasiness ~
Indeed it did. In fact up to three or
four weeks before election they were de-
cidedly uneasy, and had it not been that
a certain influence was cast for Major
Maginnis the fight would have been
a great deal closer"
"Would not that same influence be
used againt Col. Sanders this year ?"
mo, it would probably fall OH bis
side this year.
Are there any other reasons why
Sanders would make a better run than
before -
Eyes, Major Maginnis has made a
good delegate and received many repub-
lican votes which an untried man would
not. He will not be a candidate this
fall, and the maiorities in several Of the
counties would be materially reduced.
The majority in our owl county will be
cut down fifty or sixty that in Meagher
will dwindle from over 200 to about
so Custer, which gave Maginnis
a large majority, is likely to give Sand
ers a big one this year the majority III
Missoula county is bound to be reduced,
and some of the others which have been
democratic heretofore are liable to either
be a stand-off' or give small republican
majorities."
"Should it 50 happen that Colonel
Sanders was elected, what kind Of a
delegate would Montana have"
"Montana would have a delegate who
would do her honor. Of his abilities
there can be 10 question, and | do not
share in the feelings Of distrust of the
man which some express. His career
in the legislature, taken as a whole, is
one which / can heartily commend. He
has labored more for the interest of the
entire territory and shown less sectional
feeling than any other member, and /
believe that the same would mark his
actions in congress should he be sent
there. AS you are aware, ! am q demo
crat, but If a republican is to be sent to
Washington I would choose Sanders
every time, in fact, would prefer him to
some democrats whose names have been
mentioneda at different times. IfSanders
is the republican nominee the democrats
will have to put in their best ticks to get
away with the race

FACTS WE'LL STATED.
An Indignant Miner Of the Montana Dis
trict Takes the "-Husbandman''
to Task.

lGoLD Run, NJ. T., July u, 1882.
Editors of the River Press:
] observe in the issue of the Rocky
Mountain Husbdadnan of the 9Th inst
the following paragraph, viz: From
the best information we can learn from
Montana district, there is nothing being
done except representing, which, of
course, will lever develop a camp
Would it not be better for the editor of
that paper to go to the fountainhead be-
fore drawing conclusions? Is it nothing
that the pioneers of that camp developed
a trail twenty-five miles in length to
Barker: Is it nothing that on July s,
1882, learning that the road viewers were
trying to fix a road between Mcfarland
the county seat, and were within four
miles Of camp, the whole town
turned out en- masse and completed the
road? Further: Let the editor take to
his mind the following facts, which are
not exaggerated in the least. The own
ers Of the mines in "Montana', are not
rich men, they cannot build $4,000
roads; there is not a man in the gulch
that has not worked at least ten days
this summer trying to make roads and
opening communications, besides work
ing on their locations. When we re-
member that freighti is ten cents a pound
to the camp, dead timber i'll abundance,
and l.ocEu nrnoinionc 1x7 hh;t,.aaa r 1nova
you to judge the obstacles the miners
have to contend with. At the present
time, outside Of the regular assessment
work Oh the lodes, there is one tunnel
commenced which will be carried to
completion on the Queen Of the Hills,
which will Be over 33335 feet long, tap
ping the vein 250 feet below the surface.
Another Of similar magnitude Is com
menced on the South Carolina and
Texas; the same with the Montana.
Chief, Teton, Huron, Massachusetts,
O'Brien, etc, and a dozen other lodes I
can mention, And another thing, the
miners of this camp do not indulge in
town lots OF house building speculations
and other schemes. They are hard
working men, trying to find out what
they own; Dragging Of their prospects to
no one, and If anyone wants to know
what is hcre-to such I say, come
and see, no one yet has been disappoint-
ed, and the future will tell.

The friends OF IN, civil service bill ia the Senate
are growing appr hsRaive concerning It's fate, rot
wthstandng the predosnin mt sentiment in Con-
gress in favor OF some legisi lti0n OF this Kind.
The bill cannot, in justice 10 other measures CT
Importance, be Term tied TO consume much more
time a31 while this tact Stares the Senate in the
face. the debate runs on. The active supporters
OF the Dii have determined TO make another effort
10 sit IL out to-day. but there Is an even chance
That the attempt Will result in failure has been
the case on several prsvous- occasions It looks
as the more the bill is discus ed the more there
Is to say about It, and debate cannot be shut OF In
the Senate while any member OF the body wishes
TO talk The democrats do not like the bill In its
presens shape They think 1t will operate TO keep
republicans 10 Office under a de GOcratic admins
tration. An amen ime1t having for its object the
removal OF this objection by providing for the ex-
animation OF those in Office well as OF applicants
for Office was rejected, and that has increased
democratic opposition to the bill II Is pain,
however, that the measure will command votes
enough TO pass IL. II dnal vote can be obtained
But supposng the Sen its shall pass the bill, its
fate still remains uncertain. The House would
not probably be ready to take up the bill earlier
than the stl or 5th OF January. Only two months
or the session would then remain and there are 80
many members loaded with speeches On civil SER
vice reform that long debate> on the subject
woul1 certainly follow. Then should the bill pass
the House Ii would most certainly be returned to
the Senate with amendments which might pro-
woke another debate IN the latter body. II this
Congress Is going 10 do anything In the direction
OF civil service reform Ii must be done quickly.
That IS the ju lsment OF the long-headed men,
berS OF both houses

The republicans In Congress make no secret Of
their intention to press the admission of Dakota,
or rather OF the southern half Of the territory at
this session This matter Will probably be made
subject OF caucus action at early day, and
there Is no doubt that the decision OF the party
will be to make state OF Dakota, II it can ne ac-
compliShed- The question raised OF the repudia-
ton of certain bonds, and which aroused some re-
publican opposition TO the prof ct OF creating the
new state, has been adjusted by some sort OF set
tlement OF the bonds and thus that opposition has
been overcome. The democrats are as much de-
termined to oppose the scheme as the republicans
are to support IL, and it will become party uues-
uon- The republicans, having a majority In the
House, can, without any more difficulty than the
minority Is able 10 present, pass the bill, unless
the democrats, as Is openly threatened by some
nilibuster TO prevent Its passage. Dakota. par
dcularly that portion which Is selected for admis-
sion, Is reliably republican, and it is the effect
that the three electoral votes It would possess
might have upon the next presidential election
which is agitating both parties Those three votes
might be the salvation OF the republicans, and
hence the unaninlity with which that party favors
the proposed new state. The democrats regret
fully ana somewhat reprOachfuily say. '.We re-
member Colorado" 1t was by democratic votes
that Colorado got into the Union, and but for the
three electoral votes of that state in 1873 Mr. TIL
den and not Mr.. Hayes would have been PreSi-
dent.

Mr.. Caldwell. a member OF the Boston board of
aldermen and a candidate for reelection at the
late municipal election. has done himself honor
and set an example worthy of Imitation by volun-
tarily relinquishng a seat in the new board
which he might have obtained upon technical
grounds. Upon his own motion certain votes
which were cast irregularly for Caldwelrs demo-
cratic opponent were counted, and these
votes elected the democrat. Though trreg-
olar, 1t was plain that the intention OF
the voters was to cast their ballots for the
democrat, and that fact was sufficient to satisfy
MI Caldwell that they ought to be counted, though
ne lost his seat by 1t II Mr.. Caldwell's line of
action was the rule, Congress would be troubled
with fewer contests

disinfectant and deodorizer, absorbing
many times its own bulk of ammoniacal
gas, and acts as storehouse of ammonia
and moisture, giving them out as needed
by plants. Its mechanical action is to
tighten the soil, and it tends to purify it
and keep it sweet. Plants take their car
bon from the air by their leaves and not
from the earth.
AMONG the profitable crops to SOW for
green soiling is fodder corn. 1t may be
planted, grown and plowed under three
or four times during the season. If you
cannot get field peas, pillow in fodder corn
and lime the surface every time, or as
often as you can 1t is a shame to take
constantly from the soil and make no re-
turn that is what is now impoverishing
the world.
The observations of Dumas, Peyen and
Boussingault have shown the fact that a
COW gives healthy milk in exact proper
tions to the surplus of food beyond what
is necessary for her own maintenance
If the animal is kept on food barely sufii-
cient for proper nourishment, the milk
produced must be at loss of animal tis-
sue, with general deterioration of the
milk and also of the COW.
SQUAsH MAGGoTs.-When these get
into the vines cover up the the parts in
tested with soil and press down. The
worms cannot stand it but the vines can.
Winter squashes should be planted late
CUCUMBER PIcKLEs-You grumble that
your pickles ferment or do not keep well
during the summer. This may be the
fault of bad vinegar; but what is the
need of summer putting up? Plant the
cucumbers in August and put up in Sep
tember or October
The following is given as an excellent
remedy for kicking cows: Take rope or
strap long enough to go around her body.
put it around just behind the fore legs !;
tie or buckle it, then take stick one or
two feet long, put it through under the
strap and twist it tight 1t is a sure
cure.
SILK IN FLoRIpA.-Mr. J. W. Barclay,
of Jacksonville, has procured 10000 eggs
of the japanese silk-worms and begun
the raising of silkworms. He is also
growing the mor'es dIJa and Usage or
ange for their food.
FARM manures contain all, while com
mercial fertilizers may contain only a
portion of the ingredients which plants
use for food. But if farmer were to
find it profitable to apply large quantities
of phosphates to his fields, as is often the
case, he would probably secure that ma
terial more cheaply by purchasing a
superphosphate or bone meal than by
getting horse manure from city stables at
large expense.
WEEvns.-A Georgia farmer has dis
covered that the stalk and beans of the
Jimpson weed is weevil exterminator.
He mixed them with his field peas and
drove out the weevils successfully.

= IN American who is travelling in
Europe writes as follows to the editor of
the Buffalo Express 90 Let me tell YOU
one thing, my friend. The country and
the people that to-day have the least to
complain of, the most to be grateful for,
and the least to fear for many year to

: Warden Croker, who has the i'm
mediate charge of Guiteau in the Wash
ington jail, when asked what his de-
meanor would be on the scaffold said /:
"TIhat depends upon circumstances. If
there shall be large crowd present it
will nerve him to Spartan frmness. If,
on the contrary, he5shall be executed in
that corridor over yonder (pointing in
the direction of the scaffold), with no
spectators beyond the prison authorities,
he will die like craven, and we will be
compelled to drag him from his cell.'
Moses Taylor's will was fled for
probate in New York on Wednesday.
He bequeaths his household property in
New York and in Long Branch to his
wife, together with his dwelling house in
Fifth avenue and the house at Long
Branch. He directs that fund be pro-
vided from his estate that shall pay his
wife 100000 during her life, in lieu of
her dowor in the estate, and his executors
are directed to divide the estate among
his five children. The will is dated Janu-
airy %. 1881.
