Coal is King.

What is needed in this territory now
&c much as anything else, is an abun'
dant supply of coking coal, with trans
nortation facilities, SO that the numer.
nne furnaces of the territory can be sup
,,;pd with coke at a minimum OF cost.
At present charcoal is mostly used, as
coke can only be had from Pennsyl-
vania, at an immense cost for transpor-
+otion alone. At B0Zeman, we under
stand the Union Pacific folks are about
70 begin the erection of a large number
Of coking furnaces, and from that point
will Supply Butte and other mining
camps. The business is certain to grow
into an extensive one, if the success an
ticipated is attained, and the carrying
business alone for the L. P. railroad will
be a big item.
Rut the Northern Pacific manage
mpnt have it in their power to double
discount the coke enterprise of their
rival road if they see fit to take advan-
tage of the opportunity.
The coal of Sand Coulee, Deep creek,
and Belt creek, in this county, is an
ouestionably the best in the territory.
The deposit at Sand Coulee (only three
miles from Great Falls as recently de-
yeloped is simply wonderful. There is
nothing like it in the northwest as to
quality and quantity. The vein has
been tapped on all sides of an immense
hill. showing hat it is continuous and
unbroken, while it shows a thickness of
twenty feet and fourteen feet of splen-
did coal. Of this body there are nearly
1000 acres, practically al inexhaustible
supply.
The superior quality of the coal as
well as the astonishing size of the vein
attracts attention. We are informed by
Mr.. c.. G. Griffith and others who have
seen it, that the coal shows fine coking
qualities, and he believes that ten feet
of it is as good coking coal as he ever
saw. 1t has been tested in a rude way
with fine results, and a more thorough
test is now being made. If this coal is
as valuable for coking purposes as is
confidently believed, it will be a bonan-
"a for the railroad that taps it. It lies
directly on the line Of the proposed Hell
ena & Fort Benton road, and of itself
should be sufficient inducement to in
sure the immediate carrying out of this
enterprise. Coal fields like those ON
Sand %coulee, Deep creek and Belt creek
are more important to a railroad in
Montana than anything else, and if the
Northern Pacific people had a correct
knowledge of the situation, there would
be no delay in putting the Helena u
Fort Benton railroad through to COM
pletion.

Notw;tbcta pdinu the failure O1

Notwithstanding the failure of Springer's substitute for certain laws regulating the pay of United States marshals, deputies, attorneys, etc., the proposition, itself, was regarded with favor by both Republicans and Demo- crats, because it struck at the fee sys- tenn which has proved curse to the department of justice in the license it gives to marshals, and kindred off cials, for lnstituting proceedings against persons upon trumped-up charges, simply for the purpose of reaping harvest in fees at the ex- pense of justice. Springer's mistake was in inserting his amendment in bill distinct in itself; otherwise it would now be a law. Next session will witness the passage of bill abolishing the greatly abused fee system.

Secretary Folger and the heads of the Marine Hospital Service ask for the appointment of inspectors at for. eign consulates who shall give timely warning of the departure for the United States of emigrants or mer. chandise infected with cholera or other diseases. Photographic advices would prepare the way for suitable quarantine detention. The idea is excellent. The cholera is spreading rapidly and several cases have been reported in London. government should establish rigid quarantine at all Atlantic coast ports, and adopt such other measures as will prevent the introduction of the disease into the United States.

FITN JOHN PORTER.

Fitz John Porter's case has received quietus for the present, and we hope for all time, by the commendable ac- tion of President Arthur in vetoing the bill legislating Porter to his for mer position in the army. The presi- dent gives legal reasons for his disap- proval of the bill, which are good and incontrovertable. He cites the pro- vision of the constitution which con- fers upon the executive the appoint ing power, and also refers to another provision of that instrument which confines Congress to the exercise of legislative powers, which are neither essentially judicial or executive in their nature. Consequently Congress had no power to rehabilitate Por- ter with his former rank in the army, of which he had been de- prived by judgment of court. The attempt to legislate Grant into office is analogous to that in behalf of Por- ter, and therefore must fail. The president had already remitted the continuing penalty disfranchising Por- ter as d citizen of the United States, and, therefore, Porter should have been satisfied with that act of elem ency, without appealing to body unauthorized to grant his request.
 The cause that led to Porter's i'm. pertaining Congress, was his dismissal from the army by judgment of mlli- tary court for disobedience of orders in front of the enemy, and at time when battle was being waged. His refusal to obey orders, at that time, dur ing the second battle of Bull Run, was not his only mistake" His refusal to accept achievements, when offered by McClellen, at the battle of Gains s mill, at time when he was being badly beaten and his command de- moralizod, showed his bull-headedness, and had 1t not been that Gen. Maher's Irish brigade, six hours after the com mencement of the engagement, came to the rescue, what was left of Porter s command would have been driven into the Chickahominy. Had he been courtmartialed for this, as he deserved, he would not have been in the war at the second Bpll Run.

Gov. CLEVELAND
T. A. HENDRICKS
Nominated for Vice-President.

The nomination of Governor Cleve- land to be the standard bearer of the Democratic party in the coming pres identias election, will be hailed with delight by the great Democratic masses throughout the country. The voices cg the multitude of Democratic voters in unison demanded the nom- ination of a man who would heal all party dissentions, and lead tue Demo- cratic forces to victory. The demand was conceded, and the man of all others who can win success for the Democrats at the polls next Novem- Der, has been nominated.
 Cleveland was elected Governor of the state of New York by a majority of almost 100000, which is by far the largest ever given to a candidate for any office in the Empire state. Be- sides the Democratic vote of the state, he will receive that of the strictly in dependent voters, and also of the dis. affected Republicans who signified their willingness to support Cleveland should he receive the nomination That the state of New York will poll large Democratic majority in Mo- vember is now assured, and one of the greatest difficulties in the way of Dem. ocratic success has been removed.
 The nomination of Hendricks for Vice-President, on the first ballot, has just been announced. This insures Indiana for the Democrats, thus elim. mating one more from the number ot doubtful states.
 At no time in the past twenty-four years have the prospects of Democratic success looked so favorable as now. Ii voters rally to the support of the tick ct, Grover Cleveland will be the next President of the United States.

The House has passed the new Anti-Chinese Bill, and the measure is before the Senate. Facts were brought out, however, in the House debate, which seem to show that the bill of 1882 has already accomplished its object, and that no more laws are needed to- make the Chinese go, or prevent them from coming; because they do not come, and are on the contrary emigrating from the United States. Mir. Hit, of Illinois, who de- livered very good speech on the subject in the House, gave the latest official statistics as to Chinese immi- grafton. From these it appears that from October 1, 1882, to March 31, 1884, the total number of Chinese who arrived in our ports was 455, of whom 2S7 were merchants, entitled as such to come here if holding passports. These figures come from the Treasury Department, and are vouched for by Mir. Nimmo. Moreover, Mir. Hit adds, nearly all these arrivals were in the months prior to January, 1884, and the last five steamers have brought none. The explanation of this is that last fall. long before Congress met, complaint being made that some of the merchants got passports by means of fraud, and were really la- borerS, the Chinese Government took the matter up, dismissed the officer who had committed the frauds, and thus stopped even this slender Till of emigration.
