We trust that in the investigation of
the murder of the two Indians that no
stone will be left unturned to ferret out
the guilty parties. We are aware that
there is a sentiment in the west that
there are no good Indians except dead
ones, and that there are many who say
when one is killed that it makes no diff
ference, he was but an Indian, but in the
case before us there seems to be no justi-
ficaticn whatever. These Indians had
been in the hands of the law officers an
investigation had been held and nothing
ELECTED to connect them with any crime /;
they were discharged and were on their
way home, travelling, as they supposed,
in perfect safety through a thickly set
tied country in which the laws are up
held with remarkable strictness. In a
communityo f as law-abiding. citizens as
live anywhere they had a right to feel
secure; they were taken unawares and
cruelty murdered. It may not end here.
Some unofending person, perhaps a
whole family, may suffer yet. The In
dams idea of vengence does not follow
the ones who perpetrate wrongs against
them, but they will wreck it on any
others as well. The blood of these inno-
cent ones will be on the hands of those
who killed the Indians in the first place.
We hope we may be able to prove to
them that we are willing to do justice to
them and to punish those who have
wronged them. The letter from Agent
Roman, published yesterday, clearly in
dicates that these Indians were not
thieves. From all the circumstances
which have surrounded their killing it
would seem that it came upon them
without any intimation of danger. They
had no notice so that they might have
defended themselves, or might have
eluded their pursurers, but were shot
down like dogs, while pursuing their way
civilized and orderly commun-
ity had it been other than this they
would no doubt have been on their
guard. It is gratifying to note that there
is but little diversity of opinion as to the
character of the deed, and we believe the
law officers will use extra vigilance to
ferret it out. Justice to ourselves, justice
to the Indians, demand it.

It is stated by the Miles City Press that
emigrants passing Montana, are surprised
at the warm weather that greets them in
our valleys. They were impressed "bv
the railroad companies agent east that
Montana is sort of Arctic region where
eternal snow and q low temperature
threaten the lives of the few who have
the temerity to remain here" That all
should stop east of the Missouri or 60
west of Idaho. If the railroad agents
east are playing this sort of lying game.
they should be personally exposed and
discharged from service. That they will
find a warmer, though not better, climate
west of Idaho, is true; but no such
warmer climate can be found east of the
Missouri without going five degrees
further south. The temperature of
northern Dakota and Minnesota and
Wisconsin during the past winter, has
been fully ten, and at times even twenty
degrees colder than in Montana. Nor
was this difference an exception to the
general rule, for many years. The rail-
road may have motives for carrying inn
migrants as far as possible, but can have
none for dumping them east Of the Mis-
souri,. In any event it cannot afford to
have agents who misrepresent Montana,
or any other part of the countrywide
pendent. We have heard this before
and have every reason to believe it is
true. We have heard from parties who
were coming to Montana, that they could
not get any information about Montana,
from railroad people; that in fact they
had habit OF running Montana down,
and what we gain and have gained in the
way of wealth and population has not
been through any efforts of the railroad
in our behalf. In this connection we
might suggest that as ever tub stands on
its own bottom it behooyes us to adver-
tise ourselves and not trust to the rail-
road for any help. We could find no
fault with them for talking up any part
of the country through which they pass,
or to make specially Of any particular
section, but that could be done without
deriding or running down any other sec
ton. If they cannot help us, then we
ask them to let us alone, and our own
great resources will of itself work out a
grand future.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

Contrary to all expectation, the pri
mary meeting of the Bozeman republic
cans at the court house Saturday was de-
void of any exciting interest. All day
Saturday it was the talk of the street that
two states were UP; one, it was said, rep
resented those who favored Col. Eaton as
their choice for delegate to Chicago, and
the other side Mr.. Anderson. The court
room was densely crowded and many
democrats were present, indeed so many
that Sachem Anderson, fearing that there
was game to ring in democratic votes
and sweep the field, moved that each
voters name be registered, so that we
could know where tn place our men. By
some this was construed as an insult to
democrats and Indignantly repelled.
While the motion in itself was meant to
guard against such interference it was
entirely unnecessary, as we are certain
no democrat was there for that purpose
none, we are certain, wanted to vote, but
might haye cause to apologize that they
were there at all. The motion, however,
prevailed. The preliminary skirmish
began on the nomination of chairman.
Mr.. J. H. Woods was placed in nomi-
nation by Mr.. John 7. Carlin, and E. NJ.
Gardner by Mr.. Anderson. On call the
ayes were largely in favor of Mr.. Woods
AMI he was conducted and introduced by
Mr.. Bogert, chairman of the committee.
Mr.. T. J. Lynde as secretary with Dave
Boerum assistant were elected without
opposition. Mr.. Gourley then placed in
nomination the ticket headed by John 7.
Carlin and said to be the Eaton ticket.
Mr.. Anderson placed in nomination the
ticket headed by L. S. Wilson, said to be
for Mr.. Anderson as delegate. There were
l36 votes poll . d, the result showing tho
Carlin ticket had an average Of 102, the

Elk GOVERNOR ENGLISH, OF Co 4
necticut, who has long been engaged
in the lumber business, has been
asked If he were in favor of putting
Lumbar on the free list and says:
Most sssuredly I do. Maine is stripped
of all but her coarse lumber, and New
York STATE is denuded IF its hard wood
supply. Michigan is the only STATE
from " len We can btain q supply of
building woods. The south has her
woods t. BE- surs. Il Arkansas. notably,
there is q greas supply, but it costa more
to get it up hers than it would to get it
f:om Canada. yur policy Of protecting
ia this instance has worked to the de-
struction of our great forests. The coun-
try suffers materially in consequence.
Unless lun Der is put on the free list
what few woods we have left will be
sacrificed, and then we shall be at the
mercy Of the Canadians. It is but the
part of wisdom to put lumber On the free
list.

Lew FREIGHTS.

The freight war between the
Union Pacific and Denver & Rio
Grande railroads during the past
winter, has brought to light one fact,
namely, that freights can be reduced
considerably below their present
figures and still leave quite a hands
some margin Of profit to the roads
after all; at least such q margin as
will fairly pay the interest on the
capital invested. But If the roads
see Git to keep up the present rates
it is q matter that they must settle
among themselves. The chances of
reducing freight to lower figures
than they were before. are not SO
