WHILST it viii be regretted that
the river and harbor bill failed of its
object, the action of the President in
vetoeing it, can but be approved by
all reasonable, fair-minded men
throughout the country. The i'm
provement of the Mississippi river is
of national Importance, and it does
seem that it should have secured the
support of every congressman with
out tagging on special appropriations
to influence individual members. As
Congress will convene again in four
months, they viii have ample time to
reflect over their mistake, and frame
a clean river appropriation bill, shorn
of all tags and pet private appropri-
ations.
Since the above, and as we 90 to
press, we learn that the vetoed bill
was taken up and passed by both
houses over the Presidents head,
and is law, and will go into effect.

Five young men sat around /, dinner
table yesterday ut the st. Nicholas HO-
tel, ami this is about what they said:
That the sound Of the scissors grind

and that the wandering Italian min
strei will probably follow SOON with his
monkey and hand organ.
That there should lie we'll kept en-
ploylnent agency in Butte, will, reliable
correspondents in all the important
points in Montana Territory.
That no matter how anxious a man
seems 10 get away from Montana, or
now loudly he vows lie will shake its
dust from his feet, he is sure to be glad
to get hack sooner or later.
That the senior member of certain
we'll known law firm was spoken Of
recently at Chris. Hauser's rs \
candidate for the nayoralty on
the Democratic ticket. whcreupon the
honorable gentleman rep,l'liate'l the
whole scheme, and declared that lie
had requested his partner John t" say
that if the purity wanted = candidate for
Mayor from his office they must take
the coloretl man who kindled the fires,
whcreupon Dystantler spoke up and
said he thought the honorable gentle
mans suggestion wise one. since
doubtless TIE colorul man would run

Of said Office.
That the music ut the Bullion Club

which, are dug ont for the Bullion Club
which are neither YOUNG nor pretty,
ami were intended probably for fune-
ral. That the funeral Of the musicians
should follow such music. and some say
would do 10, at the hands Of a long SUI

BUTTE AND DEER LODGE NAT,
SERVICE.
4 Wrong That Needs Immediate
Remedy.

Under this heading the Ncv North
Went Of the 18th inst. makes some ex-
ccedingly pertinent remarks on the ir-
Irregularities Of the mail service between
Butte, Deer Lodge, and points beyond.
The MISER also, can speak Of the out
rngeous delays, from which its sub
sA:rilers have suffered, and has already
tried vainly to have the difficulty "hvi-
ated. The management. Of this paper
have finally been compelled 10 transfer
to the stage lines all mails passing
through the Silver Bow ir,s;oftice to
Deer Lodge and other points beyond.
The Ncsr North Vest says:
We deem tia duty to again call atten-
ton to the condition If the mail service
between Deer Lodge and Butte. AS the
service is run, the very shortest time in
which letter can PASS between the two
points Is two nights ami one .iay. The
distance is about forty miles-six or
seven hy rail, the rest by coach. This
is had enough, hut it is not the worst.
There is an all-lervatling irregularity,
uncertainty, and frightening out of
this time that is beyond com prsliensiOn,
except on acceptance Of the ruulOr that
the Silver Bow Junction r. NJ. has re-
signed and the mail. are dumped in the
cars, distributed going down the rsad
to Ogden, brought hack and then start
I'd on the other section Of the route.
For instance: Mr.. FOrbis. Of Butte,
wrote an important business letter all
dressed to Deer Lodge. After waiting
until an answer was due, be hired u
team, drove down here and his let
ter from Butte reached here the next
morning after his arrival. On
Wednesday Of this week We received
the Inter Mountain Of the Saturday be
fore, the san Francisco CH.0nic!c Of the
same date and the Ogden Pilot of Mon
day evening. These are not exception
nj insta nces. The service as ut present
performed is simply outrageous. A good
postmaster Ut 5. Is. J. would keep the
mails straight, but the service is wrong
" ordered. The rUutes need M over
hauling, and we ask Post masters Stack
DOle and smith to exert themselves IN
rennetlying the existing state of affairs
which can he done through, the special
mail agent. 1t is not u matter Of much
DersOnul concern to us AZ We have other
arrangen,ents for sending the Ncw
No.fI- Jttxt 10 Butte, but it IL greatly
detrimental to tie Butte papers ami to
the general public, and we trust the
(lailies there will give 1t attention.

TIN MINDS OF Il6luGRANTS.
Facts Pertinent to the Present Uri-
aiD.

The arrival in Butte Of Mr.. s. B.
Jones, Of the passenger department OF
the Union Pacific road just at this time,
and the daily increase in the immigrant
travel over the Union Pacific railway,
are suggestive Of certain facts to which
the people of Butte, rs well as of the
Territory at large, and the Territorial
government, should give consideration.
1t is stated by those who know that
the immigration boom has just begun.
The fact that the spring opened in the
East this year six weeks Or two months
In advance Of the season in Montana,
has already brought about a general
movement to Montana. The number
Of immigrants will 10 tcn-fold greater in
sixty or ninety days. Butte has been
regarded as the gate Of Montana, is SO
advertised and 10 indeed the largest,
Most important and wealthiest town in
the Territory. The people OF Montana,
as much as the railroad companies, have
brought about this result. Yet the Ter
ritorial and local governments have pro-
videl no means by which immigrants
can receive permanent and reliable
information in regard to those
points in the Territory to
which immigrants with any given
object in view should direct their steps.
Nor have the railrud companies done
this. 1t is q thi:g undOne which
should Ike done quickly. There ought
to bc q permanent Territorial intcili-
gence office with local branches at ev-
cry point Of Importance in Montana.
The farmer should lie directed here, the
mechanic or miner there.
The immediate object Of Nr. jones'
visit is to look after the comfort If pus-
sengcrs over the u. p. road while in
transit. and on the various stage lines
connecting with the ears. He will have
\ conference with Mcssrs. Gilmcr l.

feature in the ranch business of
that State: "As many of our

information. Baron Won Raub.

with beautiful Shetland and

stock consists Of seven stations

mares. He is breeding a race
of striped and spotted ponies to
please the children. He sells
the increase to persons all over

equal to the demand. These
little ponies range over the prai-
