HoRATIo SEYMOUR. one of the noblest and
purest statesmen this country has ever pro-
duced, in letter under date of October 18th
to the editor of the New York Freemdlt's Jour
ndl says of Governor Cleveland:
Governor Cleveland, the Democratic candidate,
is able, firm and thoughtful man who has
risen to the position OF Governor of this state by
the faithful performance OF duties in official
positions he has held. His unfiuChng courage
in carrying out his trusts and his unquestioned
integrity, give him a strong hold upon the conf
dence of the public. The excitements of the
Presidential contest have not driven him away
from his duties in the Capitol of this state.

Two years ago Gen. Crooks brought body
of Apaches Indians from Mexico, without
bloodshed, and peaceably settled them on a
reservation in Arizona. He writes of this
Indian community to gentleman in Phila-
dclphia that it is his firm belief that there is
not in the state of Pennsylvania a village of
the same population more pesceable and
law-abiding than the Apaches on the San
Carlos reservation. They have gone to work
and are making money by raising and sell
ing vegetables. How much better is this
than granting subsidies to tribes, to have
them cheated by raseally "Indian Agents, -
and robbed of their supplies. These dishonet
agents are the cause of Indian wars. The
"savages" use the arms imprudently fur
nished them by the govern ment, for maraud-
ing, murderous expeditions against white
frontier settlers, invited to these acts BY the
wrongs and robberies Of which they are made
the victims. The San Carlos experiment
shows the possibility of Indian civilization,
and is a rebuke to the unwise policy of the
government in its treatment Of the Indians.
Their uuarmed confinement on reservations,
and stop put to cheating and robbing them
by government agents, and encouraging
them to work, and to be self-supporting is
more in accordance with humanity and civil
lization.

raise revenue, can never be accomplish
ed so long as the present internal rev.
enue taxes are maintained, with the
vast product which they pour into the
treasury.
IF you will abolish the taxes on whis-
ky and tobacco, and wipe QUO the whole
internal taxation system, you will thus
cause a deficit in the revenue. The tariff
alone, as it stands at present, will not
yield a sufficient return to provide the
money needed for the purposes of the
government; and when a deficit is es-
tablished, there will be comparatively
little difficulty about changing the tariff
so as 70 make it produce the necessary
amount.
So long as the internal revenue system
is preserved, the predominant idea in
the tariff will be protection. Abolish
that system, and the statesmen who are
appointed to govern us will find them
selves obliged to levy duties that shall
be designed in earnest, and without
humbug, for the one purpose of furnish
ing revenue.
But the great and wise men OF Ken
lucky do not seem to want this. What
they appear to be after is protection for
Kentucky interests; what they detest is
free trade, especially in the manufacture
of whisky. There is a great deal of
humor in the situation after all.

THE necessity of a good system of sew
erage for Fort Benton is now fully seen,
and if an election to determine about
issuing bonds for that purpose were to
be held to-day it would doubtless receive
the necessary tWo-thirds vote. Some
who voted against the proposition when
presented before are almost drowned
outu because there is no way for the ac-
.cumulated water on the back streets to
pass away. Even the little surface
drains are full Of snow and dirt, afford
ing but small assistance in carrying off
the water. Yesterday afternoon a per-
son could ride in a skif on upper
Franklin and Washington streets, and
in fact nearly the entire length of the
latter, and this is but the first of a series
of such experiences for the year. One

THE Husbandman thinks the coming
Fort Benton railroad will be built from
Livingston by way Of Shields river,
White Sulphur Springs, Deep creek and
Great Falls to the rives metropolis. Ac-
cordingt to our contemporaries judgment
that route would be preferable to either
the Billings branch by way of the Ju-
dith country or the Helena branch via
Sun River. Well, we do not care much
which point the railroad m from so
that it comes, and the quicker it gets
here the better we will like it, even
though its initial point was the North
Pole or any other foreign seaport.

A MEETING of the members of the
house committee on agriculture and
members of the committee of cattle men
appointed recently at Chicago, which
was held at the capital on the 10th inst,
caused a general discussion of contagious
diseases among cattle. Hunt, of New
Jersey, said that congress would appro-
pirate an adequate amount payable to
the order of the authorities of different
states to protect the country from the
importation of diseased cattle. In New
Jersey in six months they had stamped
out pleuro-pneumonia. DR.. Law, of the
cattle commission, said the disease was
undoubtedly the result of importation.
further said that with plenty of
money and federal law it could be eradi-
Gated in twelve months New York city
had at one time stamped it out in three
months. He advocated the burning of

A CURIOUS and novel idea, that of a
spoken NEWSPAPER, has been carried into
practical effect in Paris, without, how
ever, meeting with any great encourage
ment from the public. Properly speak
ing, the newspaper in question is no
newspaper at all, the fact being that a
number of journalists appeared before
an audience at the Athenee theatre, and
delivered addresses similar in form to
the different articles in a daily journal.
One gave an account of the previous
days sitting in the chamber of deputies,
another spoke of politics. a third gave
the Geographic news, and SO IN. The
reading of a .feuiNeton in imitation of
the style of Emile lola caused smuse-
ment, and some sketches by M. LIE Petit,
the we'll known caricaturist, which
were added, were well received; but the
serious articles or addresses fell quite
fiat, and the editor acknowledged that
his first essay had not proved successful.

AMONG the many calamities that have
tended to pull down Northern Pacific
stocks, one have had a more depressing
effect than the threatened action of con-
gress to deprive the road of its immense
land grant of As, 900, 900 acres. Onlyone-
sixtieth of this vast landed domain or
$780, 900 acres, have been patented to the
sompany. The title to the remaining
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. still remains with
the general government. If congress
should take action this winter declaring
this grant forfeited on account of the
road not being built in time, it would
paralyze Northern Pacific stock almost
beyond hope of recovery. Congressman
Cobb has made himself con s%picuous in
this anti-railroad legislation and proposes
to soon introduce bills declaring the
great railroad land gr-nts a nullity, the
Northern Pacific among the number.
He even goes SO far as to say that the
land already decided to the company
should be taken away from them, but
there is not much danger of congress
enacting such stringent measures.

SECRETARY TELLER writes Delegate
Maginnis that no leases have been APP
proved by the department on Indian
lands. II am not aware that the Indians
ofthe Grow reservation have attempted
it. IF such is the case the department
has not been informed concerning such
attempt, and if any such attempt has
been madeit will not be approved by
the department. Iagree with you that
the reservation ought to be reduced,
and the greater portion of it opened to
settlement We would like to hear next

STRONG hopes are entertained that the
Grow and Blackfeet reservations in
Montana will be cut down at this session
Of congress. The commission appointed
last summer to visit them will meet in
a few days and make their report.
Messrs. Vest and Maginnis have already
made their report as a subcommittee.
1t will recommend a cutting down of
the reservations in accordance with the
views expressed by the sub-commission
while here last summer We trust that
this may be done, and thereby a large
amount of valuable land restored to the
public domain. We hope the time has
passed, when so much sickly sentiment
will be wasted IN such idle vagabonds.
We can see no sense or justice in allow
ing these Indians to control such vast
tracts of lands which are of no practical
utility to them, and a positive detriment
tie the public. To realize of how much
importance the reduction of these reser-
vations is to Montana, one has but to
glance at the map of the territory and
they will find that about tWo-fIfths of
u territory is allotted to reservations.
The whole northern boundary of Mon
tana is an Indian reservation. A very
large and valuable strip of the Yellow
stone valley is another. Agreat deal of
this is susceptible of cultivation, while
the balance are very good grazing lands,
and in some parts, no doubt, valuable
mines.-Bozeman Chronicle.
