The members of the Cheyenne Athletic
club are to hold a meeting at Liberty hall
IN Sixteenth street, on Tuesday evening
for the purpose of choosing officers and
affecting Il permanent organization. This
club, although yet in its incipient state,
numbers about thirty members, and it is
expected that its membership will in a
short time be increased to sixty and per.
haps more. The objects for which this
club is formed are commendable in their
character, and it is certainly to be hoped
the members will meet with success in
their endeayor to establish a gymnasium,
which is one of the objects which the club
have in view.

Clerks Office, yesterday afternoon, for the
purpose Of considering the numerous APP
plications for brands which have been re-
ceivcd by the clerk since they were last in
session. A large number of applications
were considered, and by far the greater
part Of them were rejected by the board as
they conficted with some of those already
on record. In the following cases, one
brand each, as described in the applica-

In n column of its present weeks is
II the Laramie Sentinel that
it is peculiarly suited, as a paper, for the
household, while in another it prints the
following, which may be accepted as cx-
~planatory of its assumptions a:
The editor of the Sentinel was this week
presented with a little daughter by his
loving wife. As this is the eight child in
about eleven years, these announcements
may be getting monotonous to a long suf-
fering public, but it is ever new, ever
fraught with immortal interest, and ever
a source of joy to us. No baby ever comes
to our house with the feeling impressed
upon its young heart that it was not
wanted.
The child is to be named Frances Will
lard Hayford, in honor Of Miss Frances
Willard, president of the Women's

The trial of the case of the Territory of
Wyoming VS.. Frank Waskike was resum-
ed before Judge Lee yesterday, and the
taking of the evidence concluded, after
which the case was held over until some
future time, as the prospects are that the
matter will be amicably arranged. 1t APP
pears that the defendant in this case is
not charged with selling land not his own,
but it is claimed that, while the land sold
to Sterile belonged to the defendant, yet
he gave him a deed to another lot alto
gether from the one which it was agreed
that Sterile should have. To give him the
land agreed to be sold would be to deed
him the south half of lots l and . of
the block, but instead of that he gave him
a deed for lot .. In the first instance,
the lot would face on Bent street, where
as, the lot actually decided faces on Twenty
first street, tits claimed that it is a mis-
take all around, and it looks very much
that Way.

MEETING OF CONGRESS.

The second session Of the Forty Eighth
Congress commenced at the Capitol ON
last Monday, t''~ day fixed by law. The
opening Of the Senate and House was pre-.
coded by lively half hour Of handshak-
ing between Senators and Representatives
and their friends. The scenes on the open.

than usual. The Senatorial desks were
decorated with floral devices, presumably
for the purpose Of making the grandpas

character ot legislation TO be presented at
this session Speaker Carlisle may be quo
ted as authority. The Speaker is reported
as saving that there would be no tariff leg
islation during the present session. Speak
cr Carlisle has not, in any respect, chang.
ed his views as to the necessity for revi-
sion Of the tariff, but at the short session
of Congress he deems it inexpedicnt to at
tempt legislation on that subject. The
Speaker expressed the opinion that the
great question to come before Congress
this winter is tie ratification of the treaty
recently negotiated between the United
States and Spain as to the free admission
to this country Of West Indian products.
If that treaty is ratified sugars will be ad-
tnitted free OF duty, which will result in q
large decrease in the revenue from Gus.

considerable influence upon any tariff leg.

In France the divorce business is brisker
than in Montana. The new divorce law
there seems to meet with considerable
favor, If VIC may Judge by the fact that
there have been presented to the Tribunals
Of the Seine not less than 5000 petitions
for divorce since the law went into effect.
On this basis, supposing the proportion to
hold good, there would be demand
throughout France for divorce in more
than $4,000 cases.

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.

Inspired by a feeling OF friendly fancy
for a fraternal fellowship among the fellows
Of the Montana Press, the TRIBUNE would
modestly suggest to the brethren Of the
pen the propriety Of organizing an Edito
rial Association for the Territory during
the coming winter. 1t strikes us that pen.
cil.pushers should have an organization Of
their own, and that the proper time to give
birth to such an organization would be dur.
ing the session Of the Legislative Assem-
bly, at the capital. If the scribcs Of Mon
tana arc ready and ripe for the question,
we would respectfully suggest that Mills,
of the .Nesy North. West, manufacture a
motion calling us all together for the pur-
pose of organizing. We name Mills for
the work because he has such seducing
ways about him that we would all cheer
fully waltz to the music of 4 call from his
persuading pen Do it, Mills, and perhaps
the unknown pcncil.heavers of the future
will erect 4 monument to your memory
in recognition Of your services. We need
an association of this character. 1t would
prove beneficial in many respects. 1t
would be an organization tor mutual pro-
lection and mutual admiration. 1t would
afford the means IF bringing the newspa.
per men of Montana together, and when
assembled :heir united experience would
suggest methods whereby those who edity
the people might establish regulations for
the conducting of the printing business
that would materially help the members
of the profession which tolls without ade-
quatc reconpense. Socially it would be Il
model institution, for modesty and merit
would be it's foundation stones. With
these inducements, and many more reasons
that might be earnestly urged, it isapparen'
| that the formation OF an Editorial Associ;..
tion--comprehensive enough in its scope
toinclude the followers of Faust and Frank
lin-is urgently demanded. We would
like to see the newspaper men Of Montana
Weakened up in this matter.

NEEDED LAWS.

Before the meeting OF the Legislative
Assembly it is well for the Territorial press
to discuss needed laws and to call the attcn.
ton OF the legislators.elect to such new
statutes as are required for the better gov.
eminent of Montana. In Il few running
suggestions we may be permitted to .nen'
ton subjects that require legislation, and
the enactment Of lass covering these mat.
tiers will be asked at the hands Of the next
Legislature. A liberal, practical militia

and providing for suitable discipline, is de.
sirahlc for This Territory. y registration

ten. provide tor an honest ballot and for a

parties should unite in enacting. Con-
grcss should be memorialized and asked to

be passed compelling Boards of County
Commissioners to cause 10 be officially
