This country is not so wild as one
might imagine from its newness and
location. From the mouth to the
head of the valley one is hardly ever
out of sight ola human habitation.
There are Is places that claim the
dignity of settlements or towns in
the Yellowstone valley. The most
important of these are Glendiye, Big
Horn, Forsyth. Billings, Miles City
and Bensens. Glendiye is town OF
500 people; it is only two years old.
Miles City is town of ], 900 to 500
people, and is three years old. Big
Horn has about 800 people, and Bill
lings the same number. Bensens is q
new place, and has as yet but few set
tiers. It is located at point where
the Northern Pacific leaves the Vel
lowstone for Gallatin Valley. Bensens
is about 80 miles from Bohemian, a
town of 1900 souls. Outside of the
towns there are perhaps 1000 people
settled along the Yellowstone and en-
gagged in agriculture and hunting
The sprinkling is very thin, but it
will be thicker by-and-by, and in five
years the great valley viii TEEN with
human beings. Somewhere in the
Yellowstone valley there will be q
large town or city. There never yet

long, without a large city in it Where |
this city viii spring up no one can
yet tell exactly, but it will be built,
and will probably show itself distinct
y during the next three years. Peo-
pie are watching for it with anxious
eyes and thousands are ready to flock
% it as soon as they know where it
will be. The people of Glendive say
hat is the site OF the magic city and
he people Of Miles City declare they
have it. That a town should spring
Up in the desert and in three years
each a population of nearly 1000

The people at Big Horn say there is
where the Big city Of the Yellowstone
Valley viii flourish, and the people Of
Billings would not give you FIVE cents
o insure them population Of so, 900
'ouls IN ten years. OF all the places
mentioned I think Billings is the most
likely to be the largest town in the
Yellowstone.

The move which is being made by
Congress toward the reduction oil
internal revenue taxation is not
made willingly by the republicans,
and they can claim no credit for it.
The democratic minority have made
persistent and united effort to force
some legislation on this subject, but
they have been stubbornly opposed
at every step BY the republicans
The selfish republican leaders care
nothing for the people SO long as the
treasury is full and their party is in
power. The democrats heed the
popular voice and they know that
the people favor the reduction of
burdensome taxation. 1t is all very
well for the republican newspapers
to refer sarcastically to the ssrant
about the workingmen's taxed shirt
and taxed shoes, taxed wool and
taxed blanket" but there is no hu.
morous side to this question for the
workingman. He was promised
prosperous times under republican
rule; but on the contrary he finds
himself out Of employment and out
OF bread, and when he turns to the
party which was to bring the bless
ings Of prosperity he finds it array
cd against the reduction of the taxes
which take his hard earnings from
his pocket. The democratic party
in the strong effort it is making in
congress to compel the reduction of
internal revenue, is showing itself
to be the true friend of q tax.ridden
people.

New Orleans City Item: aThe
Legislature has cut down the $83. 900
bill Of Messrs. McEnery, Lingan and
Breaux for legal services to $40, 600
and authorized the Treasurer to nav
it. Doubtless the learned gentlemen
are oyerpaid at that rate. A State
which pays its Govessor only $4,000
a year, and expects and gets first
class man at that price, ought not to
have to pay $40, 900 for work which
probably did not cost the attorneys

There is haste that makes waste;
there are measures of precipitate
relief from minor evils which open
wide doors to the admission of others
more grave and lasting. Sheer as
the s'Stalwartss may at the "Bour-

doubted whether, as at this time,
the "Jacobins" are not a more dan

good thing for the country if there
was moro Of this cautious care in
some of its legislation; and while all
wisdom did not die with the Fathers
OF the Republic, it is equally true
that the form of government they
left as should be exempt from rude

that tho habit of reverence for those

in law suit in Illinois a man has

Howard manipulated the present Leg
islature, as he did the Convention, and
OF that fact there can be no shadow Of
q doubt, for we have it from q men,
Der OF the Convention that he, as
president Of a committee to investi-
gate the report OF bribery and ascer-
tain facts after careful and searching
examination, found ont to his own
satisfaction, and the committees that
brides had been received, and went
SO far as to have parties arraigned be-
fore the committee to testify, and
upon its refusal to do SO, had them
brought before the entire Convention,
and said parties positively refused
again to testify, and that noble body
made no attempt to put the party in
contempt, but let them go Scott
free.
We have fallen upon evil times
The grand old party Of Jefferson,
once the synonym Of all that was
honorable and chivalric- is suffering
its escutcheon to be dimmed, and
heaping upon itself the opprobrium
of good people.
It is useless 10 agitatate the as
sembling Of another Convention
especially as corruption and bribery
are on the increase. Better put up
with the present evil, and patch up,
as best we can, very imperfect con-
stitution.

Savages rarely commit suicide the de
sire for standardization is the product OF
our higher civilization. People are also
more anxious to shuttle off the mortal coil
in northern than in southern latitudes,
more in summer than in winter,
more in cities than in rural districts. more
among the educated than the illiterate,
more among working people than pro:e>
siOnal men, and more among the poor
than the we'll tO-do. The Danes are the
most and the Portuguese tho least self dc
structive, the Prussians more than the
French the French more than the Eng
lish, and the English more than the Aus
trians, Russians, Italians or Spanish.
Apart from latitude, climate has no effect
The seasons, however, exert an i'm
portant influence. Most people pre-
ter to take themselves off in
fine weather. Spring and summer are
the favOrite times. July offers to the vic
tim the most and November the fewest
attractions. The number Of suicides is
twice as great in May, June or July, as in
any winter month. That women, more
than men, should shun death 10y their own
hand, and should make up but a fourth OF
the ill-starred list is but natural and
proper. Nor is it strange that conyicts
and prostitutes, who know neither shame
nor fear, do not die voluntary deaths in
any appreciable ratio. But why should
the tendency tc self-slaughter increase
steadily AID surely with advancing years.
and old age rather than early life become
the suicidal period For this strange fact
appears to be established 10y statistics and
that in proportion to the number of indi-
vid,lals of each age suicides are about as
frequent above thrce score and-ten as
between the ages Of twenty and forty.
The favOrte methods of death are hanging
and drowning, poisoning and the knife hav-
ing gone out of fashion.
