4 BURNING SHAME.

The judge Of this Judicial District was
suspended from the functions of his
! Office in March last, upon charges pre-
ferred against him. A commission was
appointed to examine into those charges.
That duty has been performed some time
ago and yet no action has been taken.
Either Judge Conger should have been
rsinstated or else removed and new
appointment made. There can be no
good excuse for this ally dallying. In
the meantime the two remaining justices
are called upon to perform arduous
duties, in fact no matter how willing
they may be, they cannot do full justice
to any term Of court, in their own district,
much less, the ones by courtesy they
hold in this district. Prisoners charged
with murder and other lesser crimes, are
languishing in jail and may yet be releas-
ed because they have not been brought
to bar; terrible expenses are being piled
up in the different counties; civil cases
are only called to be continued. Even
with . full bench We do not have enough
judges. Our Territory is growing in
population, new counties, new cities are
springing up and all demand q term of
court. Our term of court which in due
course should have been called last Mon
day, will be called the week following
and then only long enough to reach the
important criminal cases, because Judge
Wade who will preside, had other terms
to hold. During all this time President
Arthur has been junketing around the
country fishing and hunting. If Judge
Conger has been proven guilty of the
charges preferred, then remove him, if
not, do not delay in doing him justice.
Is he afraid of the senator from Mich
igan? Have these facts been brought to
his knowledge? if so he is indeed culpa-
bic. Have the people Of the Territory
no rights? Ifnot, the sooner we come
firm under such vassalage, the better it
will be for us. This is not q question
which affects litigants only; it effects us
all; it touches our pockets. We ask in
the name Of the people, that this matter
be remedied and that speedily. We do
not know when to call our regular term.
The commissioners meet and select
according to Law the jurors, both grand
and petit, but have no assurance, they
will be needed at the time set in the
summons. How long, oh Lord how long,
will ve remain in this condition?

A RBMARKABLE PETITION.

THs following petition has been for
wardsd to Judge Galbraith by leading
citizens Of Custer county, which seems To
u to be . significant and remarkable
document. When the Legislature re-
volutionissd the county organization on
the ground Of frauds committed by the
county commissioners, Custer county
was transferred from the first to the
third judicial district, and Judge Wade
held term of court, and if we may judge
from the tone Of the press was landed to
the skies for his ability etc. Now the
petitioners ask another judge to come
there and hold term Of court, ignoring
entirely the present judge of the district
in which they have been placed.
To the Hon. ". J. Galbraith:
SIR-The undersigned members Of
tho bar and citizens Of Custer county,
Montana, would respectfully represent
that, by reason Of the fact that there is
no person a. judge assigned to the First
Judicial District Of Montana, and who
can hold term Of court therein, and
that the public interests and the inter-
ests Of private litigants urgently demand
that term Of the District court should
be held in and for said county in the en-
suing month Of November or December;
therefore We respectfully ask that you
will during either Of said months, when
your other official duties will permit,
come TO our county and hold term Of
said court Of sufficient duration to tran
sact the business nov pending therein.
All Of which your petitionerssrespect-
fully ask:
We would further represent that we
are opposed to transfer Of Custer coun-
ty from the First Judicial District to any
other District Of the Territory. (Signed
BY 1872 leading citizens.

Railroad Racket

+. The recent excursion from Oregon, the
pioneer excursion over the Northern
Pacific road, has during the past few
days created quite hubbub in railroad
cirtles, which has not as yet been alto
gether quoted down. The trouble grew
out of the rivalry of the roads having St.
Paul as their western terminus. When
the excursion was first preached the
programme was that the route should be
by way Of the Northern Pacific to st.
Paul, and then to Chicago by way of the
Milwaukee & St. Paul. These arrange
ments were made by Northwestern Pas
senger Agent Dixon of the Milwaukee
& st. Paul. When the Albert Lea route
heard that such an excursion was arran-
ged for, MI. St John of the Rock Island
& Pacific, was dispatched to Portland to
block the game of the Milwaukee & St.
Paul. At first he was very successful in
his efforts, but Mr.. Dixon hearing of
what was going on, went direct to Port
land, and q short but bitter war was soon
waging. 1t terminated in Mr.. Dixon's
favor, he, by combination of fortunate
accidents and good hard work, securing
from J. NJ. Bacon, the treasurer of the
Pioneer excursion party the so, 500 paid
for the exccrsionists tickets. Mr.. Bacon
was on his way to deposit this money
with the Rock Island agent when Mr.,
Dixon secured possession of it, and thus
gained the upper hand in the fight. The
Rock Island people then had tickets
printed, and sold them to those who
would buy. General Manager Merrill
heard of this move, and Immediately
telegraphed Mr.. Dixon to demand $500
for every ticket sold, as these sales would
be in violation of the agreement between
the two companies. 1t is not probable,
however, that an effort will be made to
make this collection, as the Milwaukee
& st. Paul carried to Chicago 26O of the
party, while the Albert Lea route had
only little more than one-fourth that
many.
The recent acquisition made to the
clerical force ofthe auditing department
Of the Northern Pacific, is in very dis
state. The transfer was made
last week, as stated in these columns,
and the Portland Office has since been
particularly abolished. The transfer
arises from the fact that salaries have
been reduced. The reductions were
made upon the following basis Those
heretofore receiving $40 per month
have had their salaries cut down to 500,
and those who, while in Portland, re-
ceived 500 will now have to be satisfied
With 600. The men objected to the re-

THE OPPOSITION SHOP.

EDITOR SATURDAY PREss-Sir. Proba-
bly, Mr.. Thrum knew the person addressed too
well to expect an honest straightforward reply
to his iscomprehensive and pertinent inquiriescon-
cerning the coinage. For il must have been long
since apparent to him, as it is to many Others,
that those now occupying-I will not say fill
ing-the high offices of government do not
consider themselves servants of the nation, but
servants Of their own immediate interests, and
Of those who are able and willing to promote
those interests. In short, the government
has become an Opposition shop" so to speak;
and, in order that it may succeed with the
tricks of the trade," the public, which has to
foot the bills, must not be allowed "behind
the counter"
In the matter OF Mr.. Thrum's queries, it
suited the foreign minister best to permit the
minister OF finance to sign the reply, which
was evidently cooked" in the foreign Office,
in order to save the foreign minister the trou-
BILE of inconvenient explanations hereafter.
As it is generally understood that the foreign
minister has "a finger in every pie" and as
sumcs to be running" everything, it was very
natural that any inquiry meant to elicit infor-
nation should have been addressed to the self
constituted "boss." And, practically, the an
swer is from the one addressed, for while the
voice is the voice of John the hand is the hand
of Walter.
John doesn't know of any grave apprehcn-
sions" in the public mind regarding the coin
age. Why should he 2 Has his shop anything
to lose2 Has there not so far always been
enough in the treasury to pay his salary and
those Of his partners, if only they called early ?
Could he be expected TO understand that the
public, which is largely interested in the bust
ness and currency of the country, and hence in
the new coinage, may have very grave appre
tensions without hurriedly making any great
demonstration; that wise men consider well
and try to know the facts of the situation be-
fore they determine what to do, so to avoid
mistakes, if possible; or that a deputation Of
merchants, planters, bankers or others waiting
upon him to express their fears and ask for
relief is about the last thing likely to happen.
There have been so many rumors about the
coinage and sale of bonds, arising from state
ments made by those in authority, that no
body knows what to believe; and, no doubt
that fact led Mr. Thrum to make inquiry in
the interest of the public. The public needs
to know the facts; and gazette notice" is not
yet forthcoming. A respectful reply to a
courteous set OF queries might have given the
information sin nutshell" This respectful
reply the government has chosen to refuse, and
the public must draw its own conclusions.

rious fact that a competent and respectable
member Of the legal profession can not be found
in this community who will accept the portfolio
Of the lately retired attorney. general, and that
the cabinet by necessity is one man short.
But the constitution says that the king con
ducts his government for the common good.
IF so, it is very evident that the king thinks
that the common good is best to be sub
served by adding power in the hands Of a man
whom the people are learning more and more
to despise. But the constitution says the king
is sacred and as a sacred man is likely to choose
only sacred companions, we suppose that
Gibson must be sacred too. And the premier
organ believes that those who think otherwise,
commit treason.

DEATH or PRINCESS Ruru.

II is sad to have to record the death OF the
las, bu, one in the direct line from Kameha.
meha Her Highness Ruth Keelikolani died
at Kailua, Hawaii, on the 24th ultimo, in the
ty.eighth year Of her age. She was born in
Honolulu, February 9th, 1896, Of Pauahi and
Kekuanaoa; and was half.sster to the Kings
Kamehameha ~. and ", their mother being
Kinau. Her mother, Pauahi, was the daugh-
ter of Keoua (w) and Kaoleioku (k), a son Of
Kamehameha the great by Kaneikapolei IVY,
ing chief lineage, the subject Of our sketch
ranked Wohi chiefess. During the reign Of
Kamehameha ". she was appointed Cover
ness Of Hawaii, which official position she held
till shortly after the election of kalakaua. She
had vast estates in various parts of the islands,
and much of her time was devoted to these in
tercsts, though living of late years mostly in
Honolulu. Her highness leaves no issue,
death having robbed her of her three children,
two by her first marriage with Leleiohoku, and
one by her second husband Isaac Davis, as also
her adopted son the late prince Leleiohoku. She,
was attended in her last moments by the HonI
Mrs. c. r. Bishop, the Dowager Queen Emma
and number of retainers, OF which, in accord
ance with her rank and station, she had lfr&
retnue. Her remains were brought to thia
city last Sunday, and the sad event, though
not entirely unexpected, was a shock to the
community; for large circle of Hawaiians and
foreigners alike mourn the loss of this princess,
a chiefess of the old school, of indomitable will
and marked character, good at heart, void of
all ostentaton, and in many ways near to the
heart Of the people.
