The Helena Herald had the contract
for printing the Constitution, and has
this to say about it, every word Of which
We endorse. We had intended to pub
fish the address, but as it will soon be
distributed among the people we have
decided not to do 80. The Herald says
"After this long delay, to which va
riety of causes have contributed, the
Constitution framed for submission next
November, is out and ready for distribu-
ton and study.
To us practically it presents a question
of more importance than all others that
will or can enter into our election. We
do not vote for President. Whether
Blaine be the next President, or whether
that lot should fall to Tilden, Cleveland,
or Ben Butler, it cannot practically make
great difference as to becoming State.

anyone probably in every respect, for the
simple and very good reason that it was

acterized the contest as not only frivol-
Gus and unwarranted by the facts in the
case, but as an electioneering dodge in
tended to have its effect on the fall cam
paign, but such hopes are blasted by the
committee characterizing the contest in

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The campaign cannot fairly be said to
be open until both parties have made
their nominations, and although we have
not had any advice as to whom the
Democrats will nominate at the Conven-
ton now in session at Chicago, we trust
that they will make nomination OF
such character as to command the re-
spect and fealty of the people. We hope
they may not listen to the cry Of disap-
pointed Republicans and soreheads,
but nominate man Of character and one
who represents the party very distinctly
upon revenue reform, and one
whose character is above reprOach'
There are many such men Of pure ex-
allied patriotism and men who have
shown in their past history, that they
are honest and pure in their politics.
We have every confidence from the ar
ray of great names who will compose the
convention that no rabble will dictate
their nomination, and that the noise Of
the galleries will not sway them in their
judgment. An opportunity is offered
now, such as has not been offered the
party in a quarter of century. Will
they waste the opportunity? We trust
not, but hope their deliberations will re-
suit IN the choice of men, who, even
though they be defeated, will at least re-
fleet credit on the party. We are sick
and tired of compromises and that feel
ing of anything to beat the Republican
party, and we can never hope to succeed
until we plant ourselves firmly on orr
convictions and fight for them.

SPRING HILL, July 5th, '84.

Ed. CHRONICLE
Farmers are all busy irrigating. The
crops are only ordinary in this vicinity:
winter wheat poor. IL considerable por-
ton has been plowed I'M. There are
only few fields that will make full
crop. There has not been good rain in
this vicinity this season yet.
The Union Mill is undergoing repairs
preparatory to new and improved ma
chinery. l believe the Empire intends
to do likewise.
The Fourth will be celebrated in the
way of picnic during the day and
dance at night at the Grange Hall.
The absorbing topic of conversation in
this vicinity is water. The recent water
trial in the District Court between Hayes
Howell and Sparkling plaintiffs. and a
portion Of the farmers who reside upon,
and apl ropriate the waters Of Ross
creek for irrigating purposes. l am sor-
ry to say that the matter is as far from
being settled as it was before the trial. l
shall submit few ideas upon the ques-
ton of water rights. J accord to the
first locator the justice in being protect
ed in the unmolested right to the num-
Der Of inches Of water appropriated prior
to all subsequent locators, but I believe
the right to water to be inalienable,
therefore l do not believe that the simple
reason of being the first locator, is suffici-
ent cause for an exclusive right to all the
| water of the stream. The plaintiffs in
this action brought suit for six hundred
inches, miners measurement - more
water than is in Ross creek. .....
Now what I propose to show is the
damage that like monopolies can do to
the country. The waters of Ross creek
and its tributaries irrigate annually about
| one thousand acres of ground, and were
the farmers required to stay with the
water during night as well as day, would
irrirate at least fifteen hundred acres of
land.
Now does it seem right that the courts
should allow three persons to acquire .
title to all this water, and subject all the
rest to their will. Such is the existing
trouble, and if this case proves successful
it viii. only be the initiatory to more
such cases. I believe our country is suf-
fciently supplied with hog and dog laws
now, therefore whoever the successful
party may be to legislative honors, they
should be required to pledge themselves
to use their utmost endeavors to have
the existing law amended so that it can
not be abused.

COUNTY POLITICS.

1t will not be long before the different
county conventions will be called
to select the candidates for the different
offices in the gift of the people, and it
may not be out of place to give word OF
timely warning. While Bozeman is the
county seat and the persons elected to
Office will have to reside there, the citi-
zcns of Bozeman should not be blind to
the fact that there are persons outside Of
Bozeman who have political aspirations,
and important places are sprineing up
which demand a share of the public
patronage, and in the bestowal of Offices
proper regard should be paid to their de-
mands, and as far as practicable acceded
to. The capacity and talent required for
the discharge of official duties is not all
in Bozeman, and that party will be wise
who in making nominations shall con-
suit the interests and wants Of COMMUNE
ties outside of Bozeman; in short the
offices cannot he filed entirely by citi-
zens of Eozeman.
Another question will cut some figure
at the approaching election and that will
he upon the county division matter.
We are frank to say that if we consulted
our own feelings we should be in favor of
county division when it became appar-
ent to us that it was needed or demand
ed by those who have to bear the bur-
dens CT taxation. We have opposed it
heretofore as we have said through no
selfish motive, but because we have re-
ceived remonstrance after remonstrance
from many of the old settlers who have
fought for their rights in that part of the
country, when human life was at dis
count. To show that we are not selfish
in the matter, we may state that the
expenses which Gallatin county has had
to bear for criminal cases, originating in
that part of the county proposed to be
segregated, has been more than any
revenue derived from the same locality.
We repeat then, personally We are not
opposed to county division and would
only do 80 in advocacy OF TIE rights of
those to whom we think we owe some
thing for "Auld Lang Syne.' We only
speak Of this now as this will be one of
the questions to settle. Give all parts Of
the county its just rights and representa-
ton and let not selfishness rule in any
thing.
