gate Maginnis, he went to lock into matters
pertaining to the proposed removal of the
Flathead remnant In Bitter Root valley to

his investigations among the Indians Of that
tribe. Ninety five families Of Flatheads arc
still In the Bitter Root valley, twenty .one Of

by the Government to those of the tribe in
the valley, while others remaining there are
occupying Government lands without title

for timber cut on Indian lands, S5,45S. The
Indians are awaiting the distribution Of this
money, and they will probably soon receive

TUE Miner, In an article that would do
credit TO the pathological resources Of Col.
Thornton, advises candidates for Office not
to make loo ponderous and tedious stump
speeches. That's business. The day when
the people expected candidates to deliver
long oratorical arguments on the stump, has
gone by. The Reviews, Magazines, political
pamphlets and the press Of the great cities
make these arguments In extenso, and voters
read them at their leisure or leave them un.
read, as they please. The candidate who
continues In this day the methods of forty
years ago makes mistake, and is liable TO
lose instead Of making votes. Ninety-nine
speakers In a hundred who talk more than
half an hour, bore their audiences. Boil 1t
down; chip 1t to them lively; expurgate the
prenoun; leave your audience
in good humor, II you can, and you will
be blessed.

AT Rochester, New York, Thursday Of
last week, Mr.. Blaine was rendered mag
nifcent ovation, and in the course Of brief
acknowledgment, made this concise presen-
tation Of the doctrines Of the Republican
party: "Republlcanism embodies In Its creed
four distinct and important doctrines. First,
peace with the whole world. Second, COM
mercial expansion In every practicable direc.
ton. Third, encouragement of every form
Of American industry. Fourth, protection
to every citizen, native or naturalized, at
home and abroad. Under these policies the
Republican party strives to conduct the
Government. Under these principles the
Republican party submits itself to the judg-
ment Of the American people. Ga these
principles we conquer, or on these principles
we are conquered"

SUICIDE OF AN ENGINEER.
Incidents In the Career of a Brave and Loyal
Man.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Isaac Newton,
Chief Engineer Of the Croton Water De-
partment, committed suicide to-day by cut
ting bis throat. 1t Is said he had been
drinking heavily of late. The coroner's
jury decided that Newton took his life while
insane, and that financial trouble caused the
act. The estate left by the elder Newton,
who was Comma lore vandsrbilt's associate
in the North River Navigation enterprise,
has largely diminished lately by the failure
Of debtors. When Chief Engineer Newton
was As years old he was John Ericsson's IA
vorite pupil and planned the new 40 ueducts.
he managed the engine of the Monitor in
her fight with the Merrimac, having to be
brought to the deck three tim IS because Of
fainting In the close atmosphere of the en-
gineer's room. He was ignorant of which
way the battle was going until the victory
was won. When assistant engineer Of q fri
gate in the war he was publicly thanked by
the Secretary Of the Navy for his heroic con-
duct. During fire on the ship, when the
crew was Inclined to abandon her, he threat
ened to brain any man who attempted to
pass him on the gangway, where he had sta
toned himself. Newton feared that the
depletion Of his fathers estate would leave
his mother and sister in want.

IT HAS been eleven years since the Jay
Cooke failure, and still q large part Of the
estate remains In an unsettled condition.
The great financier offered to pay bis credit
ors ten per cent. In cash and the remainder
In Northern Pacific bonds, but this was de-
clined. As matters turned out, this would
really have paid them 100 cents on the dol.
lar. Instead Of holding on to the Northern
Pacific common stock, which was one of the
assets, the trustee sold large block at 81 .
share. The purchaser sold when the recent
boom was on and realized huge fortune.
The fluctuations In the value OF the North.
ern Pacific stock and bonds form ono of the
most extraordinary stories Of recent time,
and point the moral Of the instability of
wealth.-Exchdn0e

Trying to Dodge the Verdict.


NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The Would says
In letter published in the Evening Post,
August 18th, Sterne Crittenden, the attor-
ney, promised to donate $40, 900 to Yale Col
lege, should DR.. Woolsey, the venerable ex.
president Of that institution, declare that
there was nothing discreditable in Blaine's
Little Rock-Fort Smith transaction as re-
vealed In the Mulligan letters. The World
reporter called on Criltenden yesterday, and
asked him if, in view of the Woolsey letter
printed yesterday, he considered he had lost
the wager. Crittenden said he preferred
President Porter to be the judge whether he
had lost or not. His suggestion of gift Of
$4,000 was conditional upon DR.. Woolsey's
statement that in his opinion the Mul!igan
letters, when considered In connection with
other specified matter, contained nothing dis
creditable.
The reporter said: sis the opinion of Mr..
Blaine expressed by Woolsey an exonera.
ticn Of his conduct In the Fort Smith Rail-
road matters?"
Crittenden replied: ~ don't regard 1t In
that light. While do not seek TO bubble,
wish to call your ATTIC r:ion to the fact that
man who is not dishonest, may yet be
guilty ofpursuing course that Is discredit-
able"

THE millennial character Of the Republi-
can Territorial Convention 10 best illustrated
TO those conversant with the affairs Of the
party In the public apology offered by Mr..
Warren for resolution which, under . mis-
apprehension Of facts, he introduced in the
Territorial Convention two years ago re-
feoting on the then Executive; In Col. w.
II. Sanders nominating Ex-Governor Potts
for the Legislature, and In the latter being
one of the strongest supporters Of Knowles
for Congress. A funeral in Deer Lodge has
perhaps been prevented by our not being at
the Convention. 1t Is said great JOY does
sometimes kill. May the occasion for recon.
citation not again occur.

THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO.
Judge Gresham Appointed to Succeed seere-
tary Folger.

WARRINGTON, Sept. 25.-The President
has appointed Postm aster General Gresham
Secretary Of the Treasury. He immediL
ately qualified and sent the President his
resignation as Postmaster General. The
new Secretary will leave this afternoon to
consult with the President. Under the
law, First Assistant Postmaster-G General
Hatton becomes Acting master-G General
for ten days.
The President to day designated Assist
ant Secretary Coon to act as Secretary of the
Treasury during the absence or sickness at
any time Of Secretary Gresham. Assistant
Secretary French has always heretofore
acted in this capacity.
The Star says: Judge Gresham has
known that he might be called upon to
take the place in a certain contingency.
The contingency was the inability to OBJ.
tain . decisiye answer from the gentleman
whom the President had in view for the
Treasury Portfolio. Judge Gresham &C.
cepted the position as a matter of accom-
mediation to the President, and his init
mate friends say 1t Is only a temporary
appointment. The duration Of the appoint
ment 10 commonly fixed till about the LIST
of October, when it Ia believed Judge Gre
sham will resign and perhaps accept the
Judgeship Of the Illinois circuit. It Is be-
lieyed that either Mccullough or Boutwell,
will take the Secretarysh;p upon Judge Gre
sham's retirement.

A Crusade

NASHVILLE, Sept. 25.-An anti Mormon
crusade has broken out afresh sixteen miles
south of Lebanon. Mormon elders made
their appearance there six years ago and be.
gan to inoculate their doctrines into the
minds Of an ignorant class of people in the
Drennon settlement. Many embraced the
belief For six years thu Sc Mormons have
been unmolested, but the muir der of Elders
Gibbs and Berry, in Lewis county, has
greatly alarmed them. This has been inten-
sifed by notices warning them to leave Will
son county under pain OF death. II is
declared that the conduct of the Mormon
adherents has been such thai some step was
necessary to compel them to emigra.e, and
that should the warning be disiegarded the
threat will be carried into effect. Interest
ing developments are also expected in Lewis
and Hickman counties, where similar notices
have been posted. Most of the Mormon
converts are very poor, and will find 1t diff.
cult to obtain money enough 10 take them
beyond the State limits.

HON. r. K. WILLIAM, ex-Chief Justice
of the State of Kentucky, lifelong Demo-
crat, lawyer Of forty years experience, and
twenty years Judge OF the Circuit and
Appellate Courts Of kentucky, contributes
an interesting letter TO the Ogden Herald on
the validity Of Blaine's first marriage. He
says, al have no earthly doubt Of the strict
validity OF that marriage" and be thisks
Blaine's seri ,us error, doubtless misled ~ TO
lis legal aspect, was In the influential con-
cession that bis first marriage was invalid.
Judge Williams reviews the case n length
ard says the statute requiring license was
directory TO functionaries, but not addressed
Ia the parties, and that Blaine's or Miss STAN
woods not being Of legal age 1t the time Of
tie first marriage, did not even invali-
date II, a. the common Law had not at that
lime been repealed and the question Of NIL
,ority had been decided In the appellate
cnurt OF the State to not render the marriage
void. He holds that the subsequent formal
marriage showed good faith and honorable
Intentions, but was unnecessary.

CHIEF JUSTICE ZANE, the new appointee
in Utah, is taking the Mormon bull BY the
horns right at the start. In the formation Of
the grand jury In Salt Lake he purged the
panel Of nine jurors who believed in polyg.
amy, silenced their back chatter and made
them answer the interrogatories under PEN
atty OF commitment for contempt. He then
ordered an open venire 10 enable three more
Jurors 10 be secured, and they being selected,
were sworn. The Mormon lawyers took
exceptions to the procedure, but the chal-
lenge was denied. The charge was very
strong on the questions Of bIgamy and polyg-
amy, and some interesting indictments are
likely TO be presented.
