Important to Farmers.

Mr.. Walter Cooper, who has just re-
turned from an extended business trip to
st. Paul, was interviewed by CHRONICLE
reporter, and in reply to our question.
Have lou any late news? said: Yes; there
has been universal complaint throughout
Gallatin county among the farmers in
reference to the deeds given to land by
the Northern Pacific railroad, containing
sweeping reservations of everything that
makes land valuable. One has but to
examine the old deeds recorded in the
clerks Office to conclude that they are no
better than lease to the surface lands.
I. talked with several farmers of the
county, and with many who would not
purchase lands at all under these condi-
lions. The farmers have been discussing
the question of holding a mass conven-
ton, to protest and urge the railroad su-
thorities to furnish good clear deeds
without reservations, but have been I'M
decided % to the exact course to pursue

Cleveland

There seems to be great deal of spec,
ulation q to Cleveland's course in the
matter of appointments to Office, but we
shall BE- surprised in our estimate of the
man if the horde of Office seekers will
not be disappointed. From all express
sions which have thus far fallen from his
lips, he is in favor of CIVIL service reform.
He has shown himself to be an upright,
honest and fearless man, and has declared
that an office is public trust to be ad-
ministered for the good Of the people
and not for mere personal advantage. 1t
is more than probable that good and
faithful public servants will hold their
office until the expiration Of the term
tor which they were appointed; and
again, there will be the difficulty Of con-
frmation where removals are made for
any other than good causes. We shall
he disappointed if he does not make .
model president.

As this law has been the subject OF
much legal discussion and has even re-
ceived the attention of the courts, we
presume it will be in order for the next
Legislature to either wipe it off the stat

cannot be misconstrued. For our own
part we have regarded it as an unwise
measure. There can be no question that
the different counties can make more
favorable terms for doing all the print.

more reasonable figure than is DOW al

repeal.

was passed by the Convention, providing
that the Memorial shall he presented to

accompanied by favorable recommends
ton, to the congress of the United States.
The committee of presentation appointed
by the constitutional convention is as

Are We Behind the Times ?


This query has been suggested to US in
view of the last general election in this
Territory. All over the Union there has
been . steady increase in the strength of
tia Dssaccratic party, insomuch that they
have elected Democratic president and
greatly reduced Republican majorities
elsewhere, while in Montana there has
been IN increase of Republican votes.
Would i not seem strange, then, that
Montana, 70 solidly Democratic all these
years, should turn Republican at time
when it would do it the least good, but
on the contrary, work great harm?
