UNDER the law but three Unread. a.

UNDER the law but three threads, and
very slender ones at that, are LEFT upon which
the assassin Of Garfield can hang q hope. He
may apply for writ de lunatico inqurendo:
may apply to the Supreme Court of the
United States for writ of habeas corpus, or
may petition the President for unconditional
pardon. The first is declared by the best
legal talent wholly unwarrantec in view Of
the conclusive evidence cf sanity produced
on the trial. The Supreme Court has ad-
jonrned untIl October, and 1t Is not for q
moment believed that any Justice In cham
bers would lake the responsibility OF grant
Ing the writ. The only hope, therefore,
seems TO Be IN the pardoning power Of the
President. How slender that il the public
we'll knows. Il may be set down as settled
that there will BE- no variation from the orig.
Inal programme, and that Guitean will be
hanged on the 30th day or June--two DAYS

WASHINGTON. June S.-A case of coDsid-
erabie mi erest, in which the N. p. r. r.
claimed certain lands free from expenses of
survey, ETC., vas decided by Secretary Tel
Ter to-day adversely to the railroad. The
railroad set forth that, according to the orig
inal grant, IL was not liable for the expenses
OF surveying, selecting and conveying lands.
and that Congress had not the authority, by
subsequent act, to require such payment.
Teller holds that Congress has such power,
amp orders tina. no further patents for lands
shall be- issued to the N. T. Co. until the
amount due for patents already issued Is
paid, and also the expenses of conveying the
patents to be issued; and directs that the de.
psrtment shall not recognize any further se-
lections of lands by the Northern Pacific un-
I'll all the amounts charged against said
company for the purposes mentioned are
paid.

Government inspector in charge of band Of
Shoshone Indians, here for supplies. The
excitement was intense all night, lynching
and possible trouble from the Indians being
feared. The act was the result of an old
feud. The ball lodged in Calahan's brain.
His recovery is impossible. The law will
probably justify the act on the ground of
self-defense.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Although it is not
generally known that the Cinnamon of this
city have instituted Masonic Lodge, on
several occasions members of the Chinese
lodge have sought to fraternize with mem
bers of other Masonic lodges, but on every
occasion have been repulsed. The China
men were considered members of clandes-

The Chinese lodge is less than two years old
and 1t now has 3oS members. Its formation
Is largely due to the efforts of Deputy Sher

dured the rigors of the Arctic disaster with
uncomplaining fortitude.

DAyITT's LAND SCHEME.

The new programme of Michael Davit
and his co-workers Is most extraordinar
form OF socialism, and as he is coming to th
United States to lecture, 1t Is interesting B,
consider how much effect 1t may have OH tn
minds of American citizens. His views ant
plans are supposed TO be outlined In a tele
gram published elsewhere, and he who sale
there was nothing new under the sun woulc
have 10 stop aud consider before re.assertine
1t after hearing Davitt's proposition of po
iitical economy-a system not only at vari-
| ance with oil modern methods aud ideas, but
hostile to what we are taught was established
by the Almighty when Canaan was first
class power In Asia.
Agrarlanism takes Its principles from the
act OF Moses In portioning out the lands of
Canaan to the Hebrews, giving each diyis-
ion Of land which became the inalienable
possession of him, his heirs, and his success
sors forever. lie might swamp 1t with mort
cages and have 1t sold fort till railroad
company couldn't find a right of way through
1t, but at the end Of City years it reverted
back to him or his heirs as clear of debt as
man who had just gone through bankruptcy.
The disposition to re-assert this plan has
cropped out In all ages /: but that Is not
Davitt's plan.
Communism, on the other hand, has for its
primary purpose the overthrow of the sys-
tenn Of private property rights, and Its advo-
Gates have been described IN the lines:
!" What ~ a Communist? One who hath
yearnings
For equal division Of unequal earnings.
idier or bungler, or both, he is willing
To fork out his penny and pocket your shil-
ling"
This, too, In many forms, some less repre-
than indicated above, have had their
advocates In all ages, from Piato's scheme OF
. Republic to the recently broken up nest Of
Penectionists Ut Oneida, New York. But
none Of them is Davitt's plan.
In the very teeth Of the republican spirit
that IL moving the nations Of earth; In the
LAY when the many are battling against CEN
Iralization of power, when the people are |
apprehensive OF gigantic aggregatlons of
money and interests; when the whole world
Is looking ut the nation where the most
homes and lands are held in fee simple by
hose who occupy and till them as that most
blessed and secure, Mr.. Davitt comes for
ward with proposition that permitting
any class TO hold lands as absolute property
= IL inconsistent with the freedom and well
fare Of mankind" Instead OF this he ap-
,arehtly proposes to hare all the lands held
n kind Of stewardship by the government
md abolish all taxes save tar upon the
ands, which Is to be collected In lieu OF
'ent. With Ireland owned by British land
ords, this may take I'm Dublin and create
indescribabic enthusiasm" !" but Mr.. Davitt
will find IL Nh unpalatable method among his
ountrymen In America who hold their
arms under tenure and title as secure as
Iictoria wears her crown, athey and their
cirs and their assigns, forever.n His plan
aay have some other Interpretation than

Butte Is becoming vital question to mill
and smslter owners there and that the re-
moval OF those establishments to Wunder-
lich's or mouth Of Little Blackfoot Is seri-
ously considered. The consummation OF
this project appears TO us very remote. And
yet IL Is not improbable that large new re-
duction works may be Established at mouth
OF Little Biackfoot. There they would have
the advantage OF plentiful fuel ami water,
be accessible over both roads, midway be-
tween the Butte and Helena mineral regions
and have competitive roads to ship their pro-
duct. This would be especially advanla-
geous for smelling works. *a

In THE Dorsey Star route cases last Friday

that there was conspiracy.
Merrick asserted that The confession was

The court, In answer 10 an inquiry by Mr..

pared TO show that every one of the defend
ants had made separate acknowledgment
OF having engaged In conspiracy, 1t would
not be admissible evidence. A conspiracy
must be made out by circumstances. lii this
confession should prove that Reerdal met

sHoRr bill was passed by the Senate
last Friday which Is binding on the Union
Pacific system Of railroads. These roads,
especially the Kansas Pacific, have large
land grants. II has been the custom with
. these roads TO have their lands surveyed and
let then, lie without taking out the patents
until they are purchased by farmers or
Others. The result Is thatno taxes can be
levied against the company for these lands.
IL 10 estimated tho unpatented lands OF the
Kansas Pacific Go. are worth sI3,000,0o0,
which ought to bear an annual tax levy of
$4,000, and under the above method the
tax Is eyaded. The Senate bill provides that
after the lands have been surveyed and the
company has paid the surveying expenses, all
such landss shall be subjected TO State and
Territorial taxation. This is very important
legislation and IL enacted will doubtless be |
extended TO all roads having land grants, |
which will include the Northern Pacific. A |
