Speaking of the stock interest of Mon
tana the Marquis de Mores frankly ad.
mited to the Minneapolis Journal that
the sheep business is little delicate to
handle, His experience is rather dis
couraging. Last July he shipped in H.
900 head Of Merinos from Wisconsin and
Iowa. These seemed to thrive until
December, when new and fatal disorder
attended by frightful fatality, seized upon
them. Hundreds died in a day, until
now the loss has been nearly fifty per
cent of the whole. Fully fifty-five hun
dred of the twelve thousand have died
to date and fatality still marks the course
of the disorder. When seized, the VIC
tim swells up and bleeds at the nose and
lies down and dies. Post mortem exam
ination discloses extravasation of blood
in the intestines. Nobody on the ground
seems capable Of diagnosing the disease
or suggesting any remedy, and it must
run its course. 1t seems that some of
Selm's sheep, near Mandan, have died
from similar causes. The Marquis says
he will give sheep another trial. but his
next experiment will be with the long
tail and short ear breed.

The Pioneer Press says that the Monta-
ma constitutional convention is getting
down to real work in its evolution of
organic law. The executive department
is already provided for, consisting of the
usual officials and including an auditor.
A board of pardons is composed of the
governor, secretary of state and attorney
general, and provision is made that be-
fore pardon is applied for, notice shall
be published for two weeks. No county
will be allowed to incur total indebted
ness exceeding per cent of the assessed
value of its property, and every debt Of
over $4,000 must be contracted only on
popular vote. A resolution prohibiting
the acceptance Of railroad passes by state
officials was decidedly sat upon, on the
alleged ground that it was a matter pro-
per to be dealt with by the legislature.

Manager Hobart, of the National Park
Improvement Company, sheds some
light on the mysterious affairs of the
company in an interview wired the Min.
neapolis Journal from Chicago. His ex-
PLANTATION is that the company has ex-
pended $4,000 in improvements, on
which they owe sec, 900, the bulk Of it
not now pressing for payment. The en-
ployees he says we're paid in full up to
October and that there are but few men
employed there by the company now
and that their affairs are not in such
shape as has been represented. Measures
are being taken he claims which will
provide for present and future payments
and secure the completion Of the contem-
plated improvements. This is tho first
authoritative statement yet made on the
subject and should be given due weight.
The company has fine field for its oper-
atoms and it ought to be able to secure
all of the money necessary.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
HELENA, Jan. %, 1884

HELENA, Jan. 20, 1884.
Committee of the Whole finished con
sideration of file No. IA, as reported by
Committee on Miscellaneous subjects and
future amendments on last evening
made quite a number of amendments
thereto, and resolved itself into Commit.
tee Of the Whole, on file No. Is, as re.
ported by Committee on Mining, Water
andWater Rights, which was stricken
out entire.
To-day has been consumed entirely on
the consideration of a resolution intro
duced providing that nostate, Legislative,
county or municipal officer shall be al
lowed to receive, nor any railroad auth
critics be allowed to give any free pass,
ETC., under pains and penalties as may be
provided by law. A number of able
speeches have been made on both sides,
the principal point of difference being,
that one side believe that such legisla-
ton should be left to the proper legisla-
tive body and not incorporated in the
Constitution, others contending that
now is the time to pass such provision.
For one while endorsing the spirit of the
resolution, believe that such resolutions
should not find any place in the Consti-
tuition. So far the legislation against
corporations has been very stringent,
and in fact more stronger could be
made, but to-day has been lost in useless
discussion, it has only. aired the eloqu-
ence of gentlemen who want to be par
AIDED before the public. Nothing more
will be done to-day as the Convention
will adjourn at o'clock. On tomorrow,
file No. 16, report on Committee on Leg
islatlve Department, will no doubt be
acted on, and being long will doubtless
consume the entire day. The hopes
which l entertained yesterday of the
speedy dispatch of business has been en-
tirely dissipated by to-day's action. To-
night the hall now occupied by the Con-
vention will be used by the young ladies
for Leap year party, to which all the
members of the Convention are invited.

1t is a grave question whether the
saints in Utah are really happy men.
They certainly do not look it. The sha-
dow of care which occasionally over
spreads Gentle face which is merely
responsible for the management of one
wife is frequently multiplied fourfold in
the elders lugubrious countenance.
When an Arab woman desires to get a
divorce she tantalizes her husband
almost to death, which is the only way
she can obtain one; and when two or
more females make up their minds to
make an elders life miserable he is
scarcely to be envied. Mormonism may
yet work out its own salvation with fear
and trembling.

When it comes to genuine hard-pan

When it comes to genuine hard-pan
frankness, the editor of Every Sunday
Morning, a religious and society paper
at Fergus Falls, Minneapolis, can put us
all to shame. His paper did not appear
last Sunday as usual and the people won
dered greatly thereat, until they scanned
the columns of the daily paper and found
therein a card from the editor. He stated
that having been drunk he could not get
out an issue in keeping with his ideas Of
a religious paper, and hence had decided
to skip one issue and finish his quiet,
unassuming spree in gentlemanly and
unobtrusive manner. He assures the
religious public however, that every
Sunday" will appear regularly hereafter,
and trusts its publication may be meas
ure of saving grace to the community.
The paper advocates prohibition.

Yellowstone Park.

A dispatch from Washington says that
the senate committee on territories has
had one or two meetings to consider =
bill submitted by Senator Vest, in regard
to the control and management of the
Yellowstone National Park, but without
reaching any final action. Senator Vest,
accompanied the president and secretary
OF war on their trip through the Yellow
stone country last summer, has been
quite anxious to have the park taken from
the control OF the Indian department and
placed under that of the war department,
but the committee on territories would
not consent to this, and the proposition
was voted down. The committee agreed
that the park should be annexed to the
county of Gallatin, Mont, or rather
placed under the judicial jurisdiction Of
that county 50 that punishment may be
meted out to persons who go into the
park and violate the laws and regula-
tong governing it. 1t is proposed, il
possible. to prevent the wholesale slaugll-
ter Of game which has been going on
openly, without even the protest Of Mr.
Conger, the Superintendent.

the reputation of those most dear to him.
