THE CAT IN THE MEAL BAG.

Ii is not necessary 10 reiterate the well
known fact tha, q Territorial delegate is
not possessed Of much influence in con-
gress-is a sort Of political eunuch, SO to
speak, yet We find that there are times,
when occasion demands, that he can be Of
great use, If not to his Territory at least to
capitalists. We have not the silly sht.ss doubt
but that the throwing open of the rich
est POI ton Of the Moses reservation, will,
upon investigation. turn out to be the
biggest Job that has occurred in the Ter
ritory for years past. The STATESMAN
cannot satisfy itself that the throwing
open of this rich mineral country was
done in behalf of the dear people. 1t
knows that for three years past, men,
the Pacific Coast, have been prospecting
around the mountains and locating every
mineral bearing vein that they could dis
cover, and looks, with well founded sus-
picion upon the fact, that notwithstand-
ing the exertions OF the citizens Of the
countries adjoining reservations CONSIST
ing entirely of purely agrie ieultural lands,
not a foot has beep thrown open to the
settlers who have desired for years pas,
to make h. mes for their families, but di-
rec;ly parry Of capitalists become inter
terss.ed in a rieh mining country, with
out an enquiry as to their objects or even
consulting or bargaining with the most
vide awake and most sG.picious tribe Of
Indians on the Pacific coast, their most
valuable country is wrehched away f."m

In New York it is given out by the
powers of the Northern Pacific railroad
that the booming influence of the road
will be thrown to the aid Of but three
towns this season. These are Mandsn,
Riehardton, in Dakota, and Livingston
in Montana While railroad company
can do much, if 1t will, 10 build up a
town, it IS not always wise to rely too
much on expectations or seeming favo.s.
Equally sisniican, with the announce

The substitute Of steam for sails IN the
grsa; export trade is going on with great
rapidity. No longer than 1880, sailing
vessels took out from the port of New
York over siSty-lhree million bushels,
and steam vessels only fifty millions: but
the following year the exports by sail fell
OF TO nineteen millions, and ,huse by
steam increased to nearly fifiy-fnur mill

some days, and were to be seen on
Change yesterday and to-day. They
express the opinion that the new line
will be OF decided advantage to this
city. A large area Of 6ne agricultural
country already we'll settled with
an industrious people, is brought in
close proximity to our market, and
fhe producers are anxious TO sell their
produce here. A fine wheat, corn
and meat growing region is near us,
and it has heretofore had no outlet
for its productions except in the diroc-
ton Of St. Louis. The visiting
strangers desire to form business as
sociations here, with a view Of sending
us cattle, hogs, bread aud leedstuifs
in liberal quantities, and in return to
buy the groceries they need. They
note also that we are deficient in mill
ing facilities, but this will doubtless
be obviated in good timebg the cree
ton Of Touring manufactures Of am
