The Famine nisonssed in Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Childers, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, discussing in the Commons
the distress in Ireland, said the government
would not shrink from taking strong meas
ures if they were likely TO have permanent
effect. He pointed out that wages were high
and that the distress only affected over
crowded districts He hoped the Irish MEM
bers would do what they could to restore
confidence in Ireland, so that the promoters
of public works will be able to obtain loans
from private sources instead OF from the gov
ernment.

British government. Intransigeant accuses
the government OF falsely cringing in order

In discussing editorially the m
regarding the sale of the Manitoba rail
road-and it is simply a rumor-the Pho
neer Press pays a high tribute Of praise
to President J. J. Hill and speaks as fol-
lows of the possibilities Of the road and
the great country (of which northern
Montana is a part which it is soon to
invade: 'There are to-day few railroad
corporations in the country which can
look the future in the face as confidently
as can the Manitoba. Skillful as has
been the fnanciering behind it, there
is much more than that involved in its
great prosperity. Genius cannot evolve
a paying traffic out Of a desert, nor
brains maintain the price of stock per-
m%anently if business is wanting. The
Manitoba is the commercial outlet of q
vast fertile region whose resources are OF
the greatest, whose capacity for develop
ment has not yet been even measured,
and whose requirements will tax for a
generation to come the ability Of the
highest talent. 1t has now a field as
profitable as that tributary to any
road upon the continent. The limit OF
the possible extension Of its system can
not be foreseen. With the completion
of the lines now contemplated, and with
the extension of the Dakota system te
the boundary line and through the vast
expanse Of territory lying to the north
of the line of the Northern Pacific, traf
aic will almost overwhelm its already
crowded lines. And the possibility o
still other qualifications and combina
tons is one that must be most a~lluring
to the daring imagination that keeps
pace with the imperial railroad projects
of the age.u

1T is said that sly Sammy Tilden has
in prospect an extensive yachting "trip
to the Yosemite and other points. 1t is
to be strictly a social affair, with a num-
Der of the fair sex as guests. This is
probably a akin to many others
set a1oat concerning Mr.. Tilden, but we
have NO doubt he has in prospect-after
March 4th, 1885-several pleasant excur-
sions up and down the placid Potomac,
the nearest stream to the white house.
It is probable that Samuel lies awake O
nights thinking of the pleasures of this
period, but his hopes, if he INDUCES in
such, are likely to be blasted.

THANKSGIVING

Of the national holidays only two can
be classed from their origin as Ameri-
can. Those two are Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving. Of these two it cannot
be doubted that the former carries off
the palm for it's general popularity
throughout the whole country. The
reason for this is plain enough. It is,
in fact, celebrating the anniversary Of
our birthday as a nation, and in this all
lovers of their country will unite.
Whether living in the north or south,
east Or west, all feel the same pride in
giving Uncle Sam a proper send-off as
he passes each recurring mile Of his ex-
istence.
Thanksgiving, On the contrary, is a
holiday of more local origin, but which
has grown with time until its observance
is measured by the extent Of u repub-
lie. The proclamations of the president
of the United States and the governors
of each individual state and territory
call upon all good and true citizens to
give thanks for the good that has fallen
to our lot in the past year, whether it be
bounteous harvests, good health, or es-
cape from disaster in any shape. The
New England states, the birthplace Of
to-day's festival, are still the scene of its
most sumptuous observance. AS you
drift away from there, either south or
west, one will notice an increasing lax
ity in the long sermons delivered and
the feast Of good things provided for the
proper observance Of this last Thursday
in November.
The early pilgrim fathers, on their
first settlement Of this country, had suf-
fered dire disasters which were enough
to appal the hearts Of the stoutest. Dis
ease, inclement winters, the hostile red
men, and almost starvation from failure
Of crops had made them all faint-hearted.
What wonder then that the harvesting
Of the first good crop of the products of
the soil should be welcomed with an
outburst of thanksgiving to the Giyer of
all good gifts for this much needed bless
ing, or hat their offspring should still
perpetuate the custom thus auspiciously
established.
We as M%ontanians have cause for
thanks, and can well afford to set apart
one day out of the three hundred and
sixty-five for the observance of this
time-bonored custom. The present year
has witnessed the completion within u
borders of the great transcontinental
highway, which binds us with ribs of
steel to the sister territories and states.
Fields have yielded bountifully, and
have been spared the ravages Of flood
and tempests. The iocks of sheep and
herds ofcattle have increaed without the
ravages Of disease to diminish them.
The business interests of our young,
thriving communities have been in the
main successful. No epidemic has
spread among our increasing popula-
ton.
Taking our general prosperity as a eri-
terion if any section Of the country has
Just cause for returning thanks for feast
ing and self-congratulations then Mon
tana should have a joyous holiday on
this Thanksgiving day.

GENERAL ROsECRANz believes in the
bar'l. He has developed a grand scheme
to organize the unterrified democracy
into small groups and grand armies,
with @ grand collector for each division,
who is to gather in the sheckels at the
rate Of twenty cents a democratic head
per annum. This brilliant scheme, he
thinks, would raise a corruption fund
great enough "to urn the rascals out"
to quote the stereotyped phrase Of the
New York Sun.

neither will gain anything by trying to
