"There was a time when the brains
were cut the man would die and there
an end" but the world affords many
illustrations that such is not the fact. A
noted Missouri politician telegraphed to
his paper on the election of Carlisle, that
"the Southern Confederacy was again in
the saddle" Yes, if in the saddle, we
hope it will ride out Of the country and
take all such loud-mouthed, unreconstuct-
ed men with it. After being buried for
twenty years it is time to cease prating
over its downfall. We regard a man as
no less than a lunatic, who is now re-
viving the bitter animosities engendered
by a cival war. "What fools we mortals

Rev. DR.. W. G. Roberts, Corresponding
Secretary of the Presbyterian Board o.
Home Missions, has the following to say
about the relative merits of the Yellow.
stone National Park and the Yosemite
both of which he has visited: ''There is
no comparison between them. + + n
They have scarcely anything in common
In the National Park everything every
thing is on a grand scale, the mammoth
springs, the two falls, the canyon OF the
Yellowstone, the lake, and the
geysers, while in the Yosemite valley the
area is limited. The falls are small i'll a
volume, but higher and beautiful. The
channel of the MERGED is nowhere 500
feet deep. The Mirror Lake is only
pond, and the glorious geyser, are want
ing. Each Of its own kind is not sur
passed on the face of the earth: SO that
those who have seen the Yosemite val
ley need not hesitate to spend time and
money to visit the National Park"

We see by our exchanges that the
newspapers down the road are after the
Office vacated by the death of Thomas
r. Edwards at Miles City. Burleigh, the
defeated candidate for the position, is
recommended, and at Billings young
lawyer by the name of Plat is urged.
The argument used by the Miles City
papers goes to the effect that as Burleigh
was the unsuccessful candidate he should
receive the appointment. The argument
would be damaging to him, in this that
he was not the choice Of the people.
However, we presume that Governor
Crosby will be guided in his action by
the public interest. Bozeman is, by
virtue Of wealth, location and interests
involved, entitled to the appointment
and as a matter of right and justice
should have it, We have no particular
candidate to push, but feel and believe
that Governor Crosby will do what is
right in the matter.

Senator Vest is determined to look
after the National Park. He has intro
duced resolution which was agreed to,
calling upon the Secretary of the Inter
Tor for copies Of all leases, contracts,
orders and regulations and correspond
cnce had by the department with any
parties since last session, relating to the
Yellowstone Park, including statement
of all special privileges granted and all
applications for privilege of building
hotels, etc 1t will be remembered that
while here last summer Senator Vest ex-
pressed decided dissatisfaction with the
manner that affairs had been conducted,
and as he has seen for himself where
errors can be corrected it is to be hoped
some good legislation in that matter may
be affected.

Ifthere are any who think that the
election of Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker will
mean any radical legislation we commend
TO them the remarks Of the Speaker upon
taking the chair. We must confess it
has pleased us. II am sure gentlemen,
that all matters of legislation presented
bysthis Congress will receive from you
such careful consideration as the magni-
tude and character of the interests in
yolved require, and that your actions
upon them will be wise, conservative and
patriotic. Sudden and radical changes
in the laws and regulations affecting the
commercial and industrial interests of
the people, ought never to be made, un-
less imperatiyely demanded by some
public emergency, and in my opinion
under existing circumstances, such
changes would not be favorably received
by any considerable number of those who
give any attention to the subject. Many
reforms are undoubtedly necessary and
1t will be your duty after a careful ex-
animation of the whole subject, in all its
bearings. to decide how far they should
extend, and when and in what manner
they should be made. If there be any
who fear that your action on this or any
other subject, will actually be injurious
to any interest, or even afford any rea-
sonable cause for alarm, am quite sure
they will be .agreeably disappointed.
What the country has right to expect
is strict economy in the administration
Of every department OF the government
lust and equal taxation for public pur-
poses, and faithful observance of the
limitations of the constitution. Scrupu-
lous regards for the interests of the great
body Of the people, in order that they
may realize that there is power to pro-
tect them against entertainments from
every direction. This sounds sensible
and statesmanlike.

Senator Enmunds has introduced a
postal telegraph bill, providing that a
board consisting of the Secretary OF State,
Secretary of War and Postmaster Gen
eral, who shall cause TO be located four
trunk lines of postal telegraph connect
ing the North Western, Northern,
Western, South Western and Southern
parts of the United States with Washing
ton; along such lines offices to be estab-
lished at such places as will be for the
public interest for the time being and adj
ditional offices established as Congress
may provide. The President and Post
master General hold adverse views on
this point, but the idea coming from such
a distinguished and clear-headed iilan as
Senator Edmunds will give it increased
favor. 1t is not new idea, however, as
many have contended that the Govern
ment should operate the telegraph lines
as well as the mails, so as to afford the
public cheap transmissal of news. 1t
seems to us that such a system would be
beneficial and could be worked to advaIl-
tege by the Government, at least made
to pay expenses and save the people the
heavy tolls they are now obliged to pay
the telegraph lines; In the hands of
such an eminent jurist and far-seeing
statesman there need be no fear but that
he would draft such bill as woIlld be a
safe one. We trust that some measure
Of this kind may become law The
telegraph has become necessity, which
cannot be done away with without great
injury, and any measure looking towards
a reduction in the cost Of messages will
be hailed with delight by the people.
As it is now there are but few who can
afford the enjoyment OF its use.

After short trial O'Donnell has been
convicted and sentenced to death for the
murder of Carey the informer. However
detestable the character of an informer
may be, it offers no palliation for the
taking of such an ones life by another.
To the credit of the English judicial sys-
TEN, it can be said that justice is general
ly administered impartially and the stern
edicts Of the law enforced without any
sentiment or false sympathy.

The lady friends of Mr.. Carlisle, the
newly elected Speaker, have presented
him with a neat device in the shape of a
floral offering representing gavel framed
into a Ratchet resting on a miniature
stump. Through the center of the blade,
on white satin, in old English letters, is
the following:
"May your eyes be as keen as the blade Of this
Ratchet,
When worthy members rise to catch 1t,
And your rulings as true as steel to match it,
The card sent with the tribute bore the
following advice:
"For noise, use the hammer end as a gavel,
And the blade, when knot you can't UNI
rnyel"

Contrary to our expectations Mr.. Car
Isle, of Kentucky, has been elected
Speaker Of the 4Sth Congress. 1t is said
he represents the extreme wing of the
Democratic party on the tariff, while Mr..
Randall represented the other-the one
a free trader and the other protection
list. 1t remains now to be seen whether
Mr.. Carlisle will carry his views into the
Speakers chair and appoint his commit
tees accordingly and whether Congress
will follow his lead in legislation on that
question. While we believe there are
many abuses in our tariff system which
could be remedied and the country bene-
fitted thereby, it is possible we may go
80 far as to jeopardize the great interests
of the country. Whatever may be ones
views on protection or free trade, of one
thing we are certain, that either Of them
in an ultra sense is wrong. There Is a
golden mean which if followed can work
no great harm to any. Protection should
be carried only SO far as it affords protec-
ton and nothing more, and on the other
hand we cannot adopt free trade sys-
tenn without a violent and disastrous
shock to great industries which need
some fostering care. The protectionists
by claiming too much may furnish very
potent argument to bring about sudden
and hurtful abolition of duties. The
burdens Of protective tariff have been
seriously felt all over the country and
will be felt more grievously, and unless
some common ground is sought upon
which all can stand there will be straight,
incorporating fight between free trade
and high protection-the success of either
would be deplorable. The sudden
change to absolute free trade would cause
a collapse in enormous national indus
tries with its consequent panic and de-
preston and one could scarcely fortell
the result. For one we should prefer
protection to succeed, as the great and
growing wealth of the country could
stand that for awhile at least. We are
astonished that the wise men of the
country cannot or do not see that any
sudden revolution in one system would
produce shock which would be HARM
full to a degree which can scarcely be
computed. We trust that the next Con-
gress, in dealing with this question, if
indeed they deal at all, will do so with
prudence and wisdom.

1t has been said that an effort will be
made at the present session Of Congress
to repeal the presumption law, for what
good reason we cannot see. There can

it would be well for those who desire to
pre-empt to avail themselves Of its adj

We expect to see the Helena editors
hereafter with diamond studs as big as
beans and solitaries as big as marbles. 1t
wont make any difference then, whether
there's printing law or not. They can
"Wade" into the mines and get all the
riches they want. 1t is too bad, how
ever, that the snow is SO deep that they
can't mine them out now. because they
will have to rustic through dull winter.
The editors of the Independent and Herald
will not have to sharpen their fabers to
fling mud at one another, they can make
diamond cut diamond" A holy peace
will pervade their sanctums, the only
jealousy which could arise would be,
who had the largest-circulation-
diamond we mean. We know of man
who picked up one worth more than
three hundred dollars, and disposed of it
for five years board-in the penitentiary.
The one in Helena was found by Chi
naman, who brought it to the owner of
IuC IuluC. We SOuIu law SWdlAvWSut iIC
story of the finding of the diamond, but
this last, is too much. A Chinaman even
giving up all the shirts you put out to
him to wash tasks our credulity too much.
The diamond too was already cut; they
were so thick they cut one another and
the reckless and extravagant miner has
washed away over peck of them. That
miner will die a pauper yet, just like
"Coaloil Johnny" if he don't quit being
so reckless with his riches. We never
yet knew a man who foolishly threw
away his wealth but he came to grief
sooner or later. We are too poor to come
over now, but stake us claim for old
acquaintance sake. Will come over and
work it, and let the Constitutional Con-
vention slide. Who wants to be state
anyhow, they will tax our railroad inter-
ests and our diamonds, too heavy. If it
costs anything to file on claim for us,
draw on our pay as member of the
Constitutional Convention, but let the
milagc alone. as that is all we have to get
there on. Hurrah! for the diamond
fields of the Territory of Helena.

REPRESENTATION FROM VIRGINIA.


A religious assembage of novel charac-
ter is to he held at the First Method ist Pro-
testant church of Pittsburgh on Thursday
next. to last three days. 1t is called a
"Hoiness Convention" and, the an
nouncement states, will be attended by a
branch OF the "higher-life people," For
more than twenty years many members OF
the Methodist churches and reprenscnta-
tives Of other denominations have been
known i'm religious circles as 'hgher-life
people," They are distinguished from the
great body of Christians by the advocacy
OF belief that the great doctrine OF re-
generation and specification by the
power of the Holy Ghost has never been
fully apprehended, and is not now by other
persons than themselves. In other words,
while recognizing The efficacy OF the atone
ment of Christ, they believe that indi-
vidual effort will aid in attaining to high
er plane OF Christian life. Persons who
hold this doctrine constitute the great body
of the higher-life people, but those who
will be represented nc the holiness conven-
ton are advocates Of the doctrine OF sane
tifcaten; that so completely does He take
possession Of their hearts that His life is
henceforth their life; that instantaneousy
upon accepting this doctrine every weight
falls from their shoulders; that all sin van
! ishes from their breasts, and so far as their
own strivings are concerned, their warfare
with sin is accomplished, their victory
won, and that they become absolutely holy.

A Habcas Corpus Case.

THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION OVER THE PO-
TOMAc FISHERIES WITHIN TIE DISTRICT
LINES.
washington Star, 12th.l
This morning Chief Justice Cartier had
before him, on hdbeas corpus, the case Of
Edward Payne, George Payne, and John
Powers, arrested here about a week ago
on bench-warrant, based on q requisitiOn
of Governor Cameron, OF Virginia. These
men were indicted by the court at Alex
andria for an assault and battery, and UNI
lawfully attempting to intimidate an officer
on March 20, 1882, when he was attempt
ing to arrest them for unlawfully fishing in
the Potomac river. Messrs. Cook and Cole
appeared for petitioners, and Messrs.
Burke, +. l.. Smith, A. G.. Riddle, and
Henry f. Davis for the State of Virginia.
Mr.. james III. Morgan, a resident OF the
District, claimed the right to fish on the
south side OF the Potomac, opposite this
city, under Il lease from some pretended
owner OF the land, and notified the parties
charged to move of. They refused TO 90.
claiming that the river belonged TO the Dis
trict and not to the landowner; hence
the collision with the officers. Mr.. Cole.
for the petitioners, cited authorities TO show
that the jurisdiction OF the District ey-
tended to high-water mark on the Virginia
side. Mr.. Riddle claimed that the State
owned the soil to the low-water mark, and
the right TO protect the fisheries.
After an argument was made by Mr..
Burke the bearing was adjourned until
next Wednesday.

A break for liberty was made recently by
nine convcts of ninety-nine engaged on

road, in South Carolina. The guards fired
on them, killing one man outright. Another
was shot in the river and drowned, and a
third was shot and is supposed to have
drowned. OF the six that escaped, two
were recaptured. one Of the convicts shot
was white man named Coles. who, it is
supposed, instigated the whole affair. He
was serving a life sentence for murder.
One Of the colored men killed had been
