THE appointment of a commission to
negotiate with certain tribes of Indians
in the northwest regarding the reduc-
tien Of their reservations and the con-
solidation and removal Of the Indians 10
smaller and permanent reservations, :is
one of the Wisest moves of the last ses-
sion and of great Importance to this sec
ton. At present that part Of the public
domain reserved for the use Of the sew
eral tribes to the north of us is nearly as
large as half Of the inhabited portion of
Montana, a great deal more than is ne
cessary to maintain the tribes that oam
over it, and by reason of it's vast area
makes the task of proper surveillance
a moral and physical i~mpossibility. Ev-
cry one will have his theory of the prp-
per course to pursue with these aboris-
ines whereby the rich and fertile couh-
try may be reclaimed to settlement ly
the thousands whose faces are being
turned toward the inviting field which
the territories present to the enterprislng
and courageous Immigrants, but to us it
seems that the reasoning of Major Lin-
coin goes direct to the point as to what
is the best calculated to result in tJae
most good TO both white and red. His
opinions are given on III local page,
and a repetition here is unnecessarxS.
The carrying out of the plan proposed
by him, with the addition thereto OF the
establishment of a military post near
the boundary line directly north Of BeIl-
ton, to keep back raiders from the other
side, would be of incalculable value eto
northern Montana and to our city. The
Milk river region is n of the richest
and finest in the northwest, presenting
attractions to both the ranchman and
the stockman; let it once be thrown
open to settlement and a very few years
| would see it we'll settled with a class OF
| people that would add greatly to the
wealth Of our territory, and whose trade
would be no small item in helping to
make Benton the thriving and import
| ant city she is destined soon to become.
We hope that the labors of the commits
sion will result in this desired end, and
our delegate, who is to accompany them,
will earn the gratitude Of the people OF
this section if his best efforts are put
forth towards its accomplishment.

Miles on Montana.

General Miles, the soldier S O well and
favorably known in Montana, was in
terviewed concerning his opinion of
Montana. He said: II look upon Mon
tana as one of the richest lands on the
face of the globe. It is a territory of
gold and silver mines, sheep and cattle
ranges, and agricultural lands. Every
thing grows with the simplest culture.
"A rich soil and a favorable climate are
the grand starters in the development Of
a new country. Montansa Is not a terri
tory Of mountains any more than Penn
s~ylvania. Early explorers and indiffer-
ent surveys created the impression that
Montana was the home OF crags and
peaks. Recent explorations combat that
impression and prove it entirely errone-

which have been at war for some time
past, and one Of the most powerful
agents III bringing about this result is
the indecent exhibition Of partisanship
and reckless indifference to the public
veal shown by the present democratic
legislature. No measure that the major
ity has introduced has had any other
object than the increase of salaries and
the creation of new Offices. Governor
Cleveland's course has been such that
there is little hope OF his provinga check
to the Iawlessness of his party associates.
He is in the hands of his friends. The
independent voters long ago gave up the
governor with the expressed opinion,
He's a dead failure Thoughtful men
who have the interest of the republican
party at heart are endeavoring.to bring
about. a better understanding between
the different factions. The feelings OF
the leaders have been communicated to
their followers, and a sentiment has
has been developed from one end of the
state to the other, and all in the interest
of harmony and reunion.

WE do not know whether any steps
have been taken to lay before the war
department the need of a post cal the
Canadian border north Of us, but if there
have not we hope u prominent citizens
will not sit still in this matter until an
other raid by the thieving Crees aWakens
them more fully to the necessity of such
a safeguard. A post will have to be
built in that locality some time, and now
that Montana is filling up 50 rapidly,
there will be little further need of the
posts in the center Of the territory, the
troops at which might well be moved to
where they al do some good. There
certainly is no longer any need of Fort
Ellis and some others, and we believe
the department would listen to the plea
from our northern border if properly
presented.

Some of the Figures.

A correspondent of the Herald, writ
ing from Miles City, gives some facts
about the Custer county steal as follows:
On the 9th day of February last Cox
ordered sent him at Helena $500 for
attorney fees. That amount was taken
out of our county treasurer by Garland,
the treasurer, and sent Nj. Cox without
a syllable of authority from any one.
At the March meeting of the county
board Hubbell ratified it and allowed
the treasurer credit for it. Subsequent
to this and in the present month Cox
had sent him for attorneys fees 500
more. Whether this last sum was taken
from the treasury is not yet ascertained.
On the 10Th inst, at some clandestine
meeting, Hnbbell and his man Robert
son, issued county warrants as follows:
One warrant to ]. B. Hubbell for $500.
Six county warrants to Hubbell and
Robertson for $500, making a total OF
warrants issued to themselves on the
10th Of Sc, 500. These warrants were reg
istered in the treasurer's office on the
2lst inst. and were only discovered by
our citizens yesterday. A demand was
Immediately made on Robertson to knew
what these warrants We're for. HI said
that he and Hubbell wanted them to de-
fend themselves and pay attorneys fees.
1t is said that still other large demand
have been issued by these men under
the same pretenses, but the records are
still spirited away or destroyed SO that
our people a only get a tsuch warrants
as are registered in the t~reasurer's office.
This makes a total that we knoW Of for
attorneys fees since the 5th of Febru-
airy last of SIS, 700. Besides this just be-
fore leaving for Helena the man Cox
drew a large amount of warrants for
attorneys fees

The Custer County Squabble.

A gentleman just up from Custer
county says that a few days ago Briggs,
one of the men accused Of being impli-
Gated in the alleged frauds in that coun-
ty, came out from st. Paul to Miles City.
When he arrived TIVE or three men met
him and inquired in a business-like
manner where the furniture for the court
house was. Briggs asked, in surprise, if
1t had not yet concentrating that he had
purchased it while east and giving the
name Of the firm from which he had

to the depot and find out about it. He
proceeded to the depot and boarded the
first train for the east. AS @ o as the
Miles City people heard this they tele-
graphed to the firm Briggs had spoken
of and received in reply the information
that no such furniture had been bought
of them. Papers were Immediately is

The Mormons do not seem to be much
afraid Of having to give up their disgust
ing practices. Their missionaries are
swarming the southern states and are
sending converts by the hundreds to
Utah. The disciples of that faith will
soon find their way into Montana in
numbers, since they have found that the
leaders and representatives of the doni-
nant party are their friends.

THE Missonliun democratic says
The Independent has the dirtiest kind
of job on its hands in e~ndeavoring to up
hold or defend or in any sense champion
the cause of 'Col.n Chas O.. Cox, of Gus
ter county. From all accounts land
they come from reliable sources) the leg
islature of Montana was never before
disgraced by such a shameless, bare
faced, brazen defierof public and private
morals. His whole history for many
years, is a network of fraud and shame
and dishonor, and when a leader of DEM
ocratic opinion attempts to bolster the
cause of a bad mana stink in the nos
trils of decent people-it is only sowing
tares ia its own path. The democratic
masses can see through a grindstone
when there is a hole in it.

THE gentleman who is editing the
sheet presided over by an alleged "splen-
Crosby's letter to the citizens of Custer
county, in which he the GOVERNOR de-
nounces with righteous indignation the
plundering Of Jim Hubbell and his cro-
MES. The following extract from the.
letter in question probably accounts for
the EDITORS adverse criticism of it:
In the future as in the past, although
it is but a very short time that [ have
been honored with the administration
of the affairs of the territory, / shall do
all in my power to have every dishonest
and demoralizing official removed from

THEN. Y. Herald says of he Indian
atrocities: These wretches, Gen. Crook
writes, though numbering not more than
700 OF 800, have killed not less than a
thousand persons in the last ten years,
and those in SO thinly a populated coun-
try as Arizona. We trust they will be
now promptly and effectively dealt with.
They deserve no mercy, and the people
of southern Arizona are justified in de-
manding their determination. Those
who are not killed should be scattered
among peaceable tribes at a distance, so
as to lose their power, or be confined in
prisons. 1t is an inhuman policy which
shows mercy to a band Of murderers,
and allows them to prey for years upon
a peaceable community.

THIRD ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GEN
ERAL HAzEN, who has charge Of the
stamp bureau Of the postoffice depart
me]lt, says that the new2-cent stamp for
firss-class matter would contain the Wig
nette Of Washington, with a neat border,
instead of a picture of Gen. Grant. The
latter has objected to his likeness being
used, not only on this but OF q previous
occasion, when the late Marshal Jewell
desired to use his vignette on the Scent
the new stamp would supersede the local
or drop letter stamp, but that all of those
issued would be good for use. Owing to
the number of Scent stamps i'll circula-
ton and on hand, there would be a per-
ceptible decrease in the Of the
department during the next fiscal year.
This, he explained, would be caused by
holders of the Scent stamps putting
them out before the 1st of October, 1885,
when the new stamp would go into
effect. This would not effect the local
rate in cities where there is not a free
delivery system, the postage on local
matter being | cent, instead of 2 cents,
per half ounce or fraction. The 1st of
July, 1888, would mark the end Of the
Goth veal of the establishment of the
postal system of the United States, as it
was inaugurated July l; 1917, and not
1851 as had been frequently stated.
