Gov. TITLES Report.

WARRINGTON, Oct. l8.-Governor
u,r;tle in his report to the secretary OF
tho ;nterior. states that the popula-
ton ia now rs. 900 and that the taxa
HE nroperty is 81, 1000, COO and that the
affairs of the territory generally are
in an exceedingly prosperous condl-
ton The value of gold and silver
products for the year ended DeceIil-
Der 81, 1882, is So, 29S ,267 as against
SIS, 1875, 767 in 1881. The yield OF cor
per was Ii, 1000, 900 pounds in 1857.
The combined value OF the silver ana
conper products for 1888 will be be-
tween $4,000 900 and $l6,OOO.O 900.
The number of sheep in the territory
is 900. 900, producing "a, OOO, 600 pounds
of wool YEARLY. The yield of cereals
for 1888 was $4,000, 900 pounds OF
whea: and 100000 pounds
barley. In speaking Of the Indian
question the Governor says: The fact
that the Apaches who had been war
like and murderOus are now living
in comfort at San Carlos has a dan
gerous significance to the peaceable
indians who are living in want. He
saws that the Chiricahuas who still
remain Ill Cu0 uNVulAt0lno OAN
the peace and security OF southern
Arizona should be declared hostiles
and treated as such by the army and
the citizens. The present agreement
between the Interior and War De-
partments, about guarding San Carlos
reservation by the army under Gen.
Cook seems to be the greatest securi-
ty possible under the circumstances.
If that plan should fail the govern
ment should provide by treaty a stiP-
ulation with the Indians for their re-
moval from the reservation to some
other part of the United States and
the reservation should be opened to
white settlers. The governor recon-
mends that Congress extends to the
territories the concession now made
to the states of the 18th and 35th Sec
tons in every township of the pubic
lands to assist in defraying the ed
ucationaI expenses. Congress is also
asked to provide for the boring of ar
tesian wells, for a geological survey,
for the erection of q capitol and
other necessary public buildings and
for the increase of pay of territorial
legislatures and for a fourth United
States judge.

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the civil rights cases confirms the
opinion held by many as to the con-
stitutionality of the acts in question.
Under those acts colored people have
claimed and obtained privileges often
denied to white men and women.
When objections have been made
to their enjoying them and ejest-
ments of offending parties have fol-
lowed the objections, a howl has gone
up all along the line OF the more
radical Republicans, and no end Of
diatribes and charges of i~lliberality
and ace prejudices, ETC., have been
hurled against the DIRECTORS. 1t is
hoped this matter is now settled and
that landlords. railway conductors
and theatrical managers may exclude
Objectionable negro from the priv
of his table, the ladies' a and
the dress circle as well as an object
ionable white man. It seems, how
ever. the acts in question may be en-
forced in the Territories and in the
District of Columbia, another evil
dence that the PIONEERS OF Territories
must suffer other indignities and
punishments for their presumption
in leaving behind them the "genial
influences of civilization" to brave
the dangers of frontier life in open
ing up new empires of wealth and
new stars to the bright
galaxy which waves over "the land
of the free and the home of the
Erave." The Gland of the free" re-
fers to States.

N. ?. WO1ld: "There is q reason
able probability that the celebration
of Evacuation Day in this city on the
Goth day of November will be for the
first time in years a genuine and
patriotic affair. The unwilling of
the Washington statue on the sub
treasury steps will enhance the in
terest of the festivities, and it is pro-
posed to make the military and civic
procession a memorable one. Ali
this is to be commended. Evacuation
Day, though a local holiday, is we'll
worthy of being perpetuated, and if
it could be kept with appropriate fes.
Invites would give one more patri-
otto resting place to our sparse calen-
dar Of fete days.

every respect, and superior in many
respects, to the average terrific" ial
official who is sent to rule over them.
OF course the secret of the continu-
ance Of this abuse lies in the fact that
each successive national administra-
ton is reluctant to curtail it's own
patronage, while, on the other hand.
the Territories bave nothing in the
way of electoral votes with which to
exert an influence upon the powers
that be. If a President thinks he
can strengthen himself or his party
by appointing a New jersey politi-
clan to be Governor of Arizona, the
people of Arizona can offer to the
President no weightier reason against
suchan act than the injustice of it;
but, unfortunately, in the realm of
politics" injustice does
not constitute a reason for doing an
act or leaving it undone.

What possesses the people nova
days? While a few are advocating
the policy of offering a bounty for
Indian scalps, DIR. Talmadge proposes
to have the Mormuns slaughtered all
over Utah. We don't believe the ex-
igencies of the case demands such
heroic treatment of the Latter Day
Saints. Besides it is Il poor argument
for a minister to use that the spirit of
Christianity must make way for red
handed slaughterers. Martyrs
should not be made, for their blood is
the seed of the church as DR.. Tai
madge we'll knows. Surely the devil
is stalking abroad in the land.

A Will Case.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Surrogate
Rollins has denied the application
made several months ago on behalf
of Beverly Il. Tilden, to open the &C
counts of the executors under his IA
theirs will, to show that their ex-
penditures were extravagent and con-
trary to the provisions of the will.
VIM. Tilden died in '69 leaving al
estate valued at nearly two million
dollars. Beverly was a minor until
1880. Amdavits in support of the
melton assert that when q division of
the property vas made it was so re-
duced there was only enough left to
provide for an annuity for the widow
and give less than one hundred
thousand dollars to each of two
younger IONS. The executors, David
Dows being one, denied every allega-
tions, declaring the sons ratified all
expenses and that every dime has
been accounted for.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The remains
of Southern soldiers disinterred at
Arlington arrived from Washington
this morning and We're taken to
Raj i.h under an escort detachment
of military companies from this city
and Portsmouth. Minute guns were
fired from the time the steamer came
in sight until the remains were trans
ferred to the cars. Flags in the city
and harbor were at half mast. There
were hundreds of ex-confederate vet
Grams in line in the civic and mill
tary procession. Floral offerings
were profuse. The ladies' memorial
association of Portsmouth joined in
the procession when the remains
reached the city.

A New York paper says there is
treason to King Alfonso right under
the nos of New York authorities. A
club of Spanish Americans had the
audacity to meet the other evening,
and amid cries of "Dewn with
the Uhlan King" express their
sympathy with the French Republic.
OF course, this must be apologized
for; it is only a question of who shall
do the apology business, President
Arthur, Governor Cleveland, Mayor
EGson or John Kelly. But some
body must apologize or the diplo-
matte relations between Washington
and Madrid may be rumpled.

the demands of the strikers or COM

THE MATTER.

From an announcement made in
the local columns of the MINER this
morning, it will be seen that the cen
trail committees Of both political par
ties in this county will meet next
Thursday and select six delegates to
represent Silver Bow county in the
Constitutional Convention to con-
vene at Helena next January. The
committee deems this course advisa-
BILE in view of the fact that the COZ
vention should be really a non-parti-
san body, and in view of another fact
that nothing could be gained by rum
ming separate tickets-the object be-
ing to put forward the best men for
delegates, and not the most available
politicians. To reach this object tits
thought that selections made from
both parties, by their respective COM
mittees or by a mass meeting
composed of members of both parties
would be the simplest and easiest.
This is a new departure by the po(iti-
cal parties of Silver Bow county, but
rs the Republicans have made the
first advances to secure Joint dele
gates from the county it is thought
the Democrats may meet them half
way without in the least imperiling
the integrity of the party organiza-
ton.
The Joint resolution CT the last
Legislature authorizing the election
of delegates to a constitutional con-
vention provides that that body shall
consist of forty-five members, appor-
toned as published in another COL
umn Silver Bow county is entitled
to six delegates, and the judicial dis
trict, composed of Silver Bow, Deer
Missoula and Beaver
head counties, is entitled
to two delegates at large.
The work Ofthe joint committees can
no farther than the selection
of Delegates for Silver Bow County,
as District Delegates will be nomi-
mated by u District convention COM
posed of delegates from the counties
named above. While in session the
Central Committee may
select delegates to that convention.
By so doing the necessity of holding
a county convention will be obviated.
There is no pay for anyone who may
take part in any of the conventions
from the County to the Territorial,
hence what may be done toward ad-
vancing Montana to Statehood will
be from purely patriotic motives
alone. Still it is hoped there are
hose who will cheerfully accept the
positions rendered them and donate
\ little of their time and all their
towards preparing the proper
robes in which this great Territory
may step forth among the sisterhood
If States.
