MIR. CONKIINGy SUPPORT.

Since 1t was announced that Mr..
Roscoe Conkling would probably be
. candidate for the United States
Senate ne has received support from
q variety Of strange and unexpected
SOURCES. But the stran9est of all the
changes which has brought to his
train many of his ancient enemies is
that which gives him the support OF
the New York Herald. In q recent
d0uble-leaded editorial that journal
makes the following announcement:
LOT course, Mr.. C0nkling will not
thank US nor appreciate u support,
for we believe. since the course taken
by the Herald in regard to his esca-
pade IN resigning from the Senate,
he has never forgiven US. But the
Herald cares little about that. We
think Cnnkling necessary to the ma
ton, and because we think so we
support him. Let Conkling in the
same manner accept, because he Is
useful to the nation. Everybody
knows he il as vain as q peacock,
but everybody knows also that he
has the wisdom of the owl. His ex-
perience has shown him his peacock
mistakes and taught him the wisdom
of the owl, and we believe him to be
q patriot" This is very handsome
on the part of the great New York
journal, and must be q source Ofgrat-
lfication to Nj. Conkling to receive
the support of. his old antagonist.
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-12-06

Fred Grant is trying to prevail
upon the President to give him q
place in the army. 1t is said he
desires especially to have the next
vacancy in the Quartermaster's
corps. The officers in this branch of
the service rank as captains. The
President has been reluctant to make
any promise, as these places are re-
garded as the lawful prizes of all the
Woodworking first lteutenants in the
service, in the same way as the posts
of army paymasterships n the
special property of the captains in
the regular service. Promotion in
the army is now so slow that any out
side appointment into either of the
aforementioned branches of the
service invariably creates a perfect
storm from disappointed army men.
It is not believed at Washington that
Fred Grant will succeed. The Pres
ident could not do a more unpopular
thing. Grant resigned his place In
the army to try his fortune in bus
il ess. and for him to go back into the
army now, however great his per-
sonal needs would be, would work
much injustice.

Omaha Herald: Martin Magin-
mis- is entering q protest at Wash
ingtoa to defeat the scheme of q Col
orado cattle syndicate which proposes
to lease the reservation of the Crow
Indians. The people Of the Territory
are very much aroused about it. The
Crow chiefs are quoted Is saying that
they signed the lease under threats
that if they refused their rations
would be cut of. The reservation
was visited a year ago BY a Senate
committee consisting of Senators
Vest, Dawes and others, who recon-
mended the purchase from the Crows
of all the lands they did not need
and putting it into market for actual
settlers. Secretary Teller also visited
the reservation and indorsed the
recommendations of the committee
Of the Senate. He is now suspected
of winking at the Colorado swindIe
with a view to political promotion for
himself, and hereby may hang an
untold tale.

GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS.

A Washington paper says: There
is more work uron the calendars of
Congress than can be done between
now and March 4, If no more bills
r introduced. Among those which,
If passed, will take the most money
from the Treasury r the following:
The Blair EGucation hill has passed

ate it appropriate ST.. 100000. The
pension bills are almost limitless IN
their demands. A rough estimate
