WHAT IS MAGINNlS DOINe7

We are frequently asked: "What
are the chances of the military reser-
walton being cut DOWN." or, "What is
Maginnis doing with our petition ?"
To all such inquiries we have been
unable to give an intelligent reply.
The matter is in the hands of Martin
Maginnis, our territorial delegate, to
whom we have written for news of its
plogress. Nearly a year has elapsed
since active steps were inaugurated to
sever the mineral belt from the Magin-
mis- military reserve. With the guaran-
teed endorsement Of General Sheridan,
Secretary Lincoln and President Arth-
ur, of a petition or bill that would give
us the relief demanded there seemed
to be no obsticle in the way of its
speedy accomplishment. A whole
winter has passed, and while congress
has been making political capital
at the expense of the people, a bill
that requires no debate, or the precious
time of demagogues, will probably, like
a thousand others, be laid over for
consideration at another session.
But there are many in this locality
VINO have nc. faith in the sincerity of
Delegate Maginnis in his champion
ship of this measure of relief. Although
elected by the people as their repre-
sentative, he, SO far as this matter goes,
represents a ring, and when Simon
says: thumbs up, thumbs are up!"
ergo, thumbs down, thumbs are
DOWN." We have never entertained
this view of the case, but his inactivity
and failure thus far to do anything is
rapidly converting US to the probability
of its truthfulness. There is no ques-
ton but hearty and determined effort
would have accomplished the desired
result in short order.
While, IS citizens, there are no fears
of our molestation by the government,
yet the fact that the majority of our
mines are supposed to be on the mill
tary reservation, intimidates capitalists
from making investments, prevents the
possibility of securing perfect titles,
and In other ways retards our material
development.

his attorney, made answer to papers
served upon him in the form OF a de
murrer to the complaint, and hearing
is set for Saturday, April 10th, in the
district court held in St. Paul.
The demurrer sets up that the COM
plant is fatally defective in that the
Collar Mining and Improvement Co.
is not made defendant OF a party to
the suit; that the two defendants,
Eaton and Mead, cannot be sued
collectively; and generally, that the
allegations are not susceptible Of

facts are, he and Gen. Mead purchased
from G. G. Snow, of Maiden, and
Others. an interest IN the Collar mine

Building Improvements.

The advent of Spring has Inaugural
ted quite a building and improvement
boom in Maiden.
V. Giles is building an addition to his
residence, to be used as a kitchen.
Mr.. Frank Martins new residence on
Washington street, is he Irly ready for
occupancy.
S. G.. Sharpless is building an addition
to his building on Main street, which,
when completed, will be used as IL
kitchen and dish room, in connection
with Geo. Hume's restaurant. The
partition now separating the kitchen
and dining-room will be taken out, thus
giving room for two more tables.
Little Georges" business is rapidly
increasing, thus making these improve
ments necessary.
MI. Belanger, one of our leading
general merchandise dealers, has car
penters now at work remodling both
the interior and exterior of his store
building. When the improvements
that he has under way are completed,
the store will be the finest in the Judith
country. Externally the structure will
be sided and painted, while indoors a
new floor is being laid, a new ceiling
put up and painted and the walls hand
somely papered. The front will be
entirely remodeled, a double-glass front
taking the place of the present show
windows, the porch extended full length
of the building and door and window
made in the present stock room. One
side of the store will be used exclusively
for dry goods, the opposite for groceries
and provisions, and rear for clothing and
office. These changes are made with Il
view to carrying a wholesale stock, for
which Mr.. b. will go to the Eastern
markets about the 10th of May, to
purchase. He says he can and will
prove to the cattle and sheep men, that
goods can be bought in Maiden in bulk
MS cheap as from either Benton or
Billings, and delivered Immediately,
thus overcoming the delays incident to
bull team freight, besides giving buyers
the great advantage of seeing their
goods before purchasing. Mr.. B. has
done a fair business throughout the
winter, but spring has already increased
his trade Unexpectedly; for instance,
last Saturday his cash sales amounted
to S350.00, which we doubt the dealers
of the river metropolis can equal.

POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.


THE tariff was made the distinct issue in the
election in Youngstown o. The result is the
election of Republican mayor for the first time
in ten years.
RICHMOND Palladium: Hawley and Harrison,
Harrison and Hawley, would make very
good national Republican ticket 1t would not
only be euphonious, but would run well.
Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS who has been
strongly opposing Blaine in Harpers Weekly,
when asked what he should do in case Blaine
were nominated, said he would support the NOM
inee of the Republican convention

versation which he recently had with exSecre-
tary Evarts, in which the latter predicted that
Robert Lincoln would be the nominee of the Re-
publican national convention for President UNI
less Arthur went through on the first or second
ballot
DR. S. T. YANcEY, who for the past four
years has been State senator from Marion and
Hancock counties, is a candidate to succeed him
self before the convention that meets this after
noon. DR.. Yancey's course as a senator has been
in harmony with the pronounced views of the
Republican party, and he has been an earnest
and consistent advocate of Republican principles
A PROMINENT Southern politician, who is now
in New York. says of the situation in the South:
1.-THE Southern Democrats have lost all hope Of
electing Democratic President this fall Six
months ago the outlook was roseate. To-day it
is gloomy. Hence we are interested in who is to
be the Republican nominee. Our people have
friendly feeling for Blaine for several reasons,
first of which is eatheartedness. His inn
pulses are good, and would warm him toward
the South. We have seen him fly in the face of
the party in Congress to prevent them from bur
dening us with odious laws even while he was
waving the ensanguined shirt for political
effect
AMONG others named for the position of dele
gate from the State at large to the Chicago con
venton is Hon. John Overmyer, chairman of
the Republican State central committee. Mr..
Overmyer is certainly well equipped in every re-
spect in ability, in character and in political ex
perience for this responsible position. An ex-
Speaker of the House of Representatives he has
the command of the technical knowledge that
would be valuable on the floor of the convention,
while as chairman of the State central committee
he has a comprehension of the sentiment and
purpose of the party in the State that would en-
able him to make an acceptable representative in
the delicate and important work Of naming the
standard bearer of the party in the coming ma
tional contest.

THE GOOD CITIZEN,

No man better serves the State than the
good citizen in whatever capacity he may be.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The good citizen who draws up before his
anthracite CRATE and takes no interest in pub
lie affairs outside of his own business may be
good citizen in his way but it is a very poor
way. The dangerous classes in this country
are the men who are content so long as they
are personally let alone. They are responsible
for the laxity of law and justice, because they
do not care to bother with either, and are
willing to let affairs go with loose ends. They
are responsible for corruption in Office because
they are not willing to get down to the level
or up to the level of politics and assist
in nominating and electing good men. The
traditional ''good citizen" is ''no good" A
rufian's opinion is more potent everywhere,
except on Change or at the bank, it may be.
The criminal classes are emboldened and en-
couraged by the good citizen, who does not
get out of his easy chair on election day, and
who is too good to attend a political caucus.
Wicked men work evil because they were so
educated. Good" men do evil because they
are too good to be worth anything
to anybody but themselves. The "good'
man must go. The servieeable citizen,
the one who is seen among his fellows when
affairs of state are at issue, is the valuable
man. Society needs more of him. The work
ing classes need him, and the wicked are bet
tered by him. What this country needs is a
destroying angel to go up and down the land
just before the nominating conventions and
elections, and burn all the slippers, and dress
ing-gowns, and easy chairs of our "good citi-
zens." AT such times home is no place for the
man who cares to keep his home and its
influences free from the contamination
of desperately wicked world. Many
an ordinary citizen has met the brunt Of bat
tie while the typical good citizen was Struggled
up in front of his library fire bewailing the
degeneracy of the times and wondering when

In the way of political shortsightedness, the
prohibition people of Lockport, N. Y, at pres
ent claim the championship. For two years,
under the localoption law, the city has voted
for the prohibition of the sale of liquor. This
spring the Prohibitionists became very indie
pendent in feeling, and nominated third
ticket, polling about six hundred votes, and
causing the defeat of the candidates nomin-
ated by the Republicans. AS result the
license excise commissioner put up by the
Democrats received large plurality, and now
the excise board stands in favor of granting
licenses to liquor dealers. The report adds
that the temperance campaign will be con-
tinued as briskly next year" The humor Of
some Performers is very funny indeed.

WITH wheat seven cents lower than it has
been for twenty years, the farmer will easily
recognize the blessings of protection, and de-
rive much satisfaction in wondering how far
the restrictions we maintain upon foreign
commerce have been instrumental in leading
foreign countries to look elsewhere for their
wheat, and bringing about decline in price
that has probably come to stay.-Chicago
Times.
He may also have sense enough to wonder
how he would be benefited were American
industries to be crippled by admitting disas-
trous foreign competition. He will probably
be puzzled in trying to understand what ad-
vantage it would be to him to have few
hundred thousand mechanics driven from
factory to field, from consumer turned to pro-
ducer of field products, as would be the inev-
liable result Of our taking advantage () of
cheaper prices offered by foreign manufactur-
ers. The American farmer has long held to
the theory that it is good idea to patronize
and protect the workman who buys no other
than American bread and meat, and pays no
other than American taxes. The present
system of protection is the very simplest
process of making one hand wash the other.

In speech delivered at Danville, Va,
on Tuesday, Senator Vance took occasion
to say:
1There never will be another investigation
Of reputed Southern outrage. The time of
peace and harmony is near at hand, and as for
disturbances caused by the colored people, it
had always been found that the mean white
scoundrels were at the bottom of them. The
educated, thinking people are going to rule the
country"
speaker is not speaking ironically. 1t is to
be hoped that the time of peace and har
mony is near at hand and that F'mean white
scoundrels" will give over numbering colored
citizens because they are not Democrats.
The educated, thinking people will rule the
country The little neighborhood of Danville
is but plague spot in this great republic Of
ours The white men who presume to rule
by the shotgun can terrorize the tinid
Ellenton, but the great body Of thinking, in
telligent voters in localities where enlighten-
ment is more general and public sentiment
more liberal will roll up majorities in con
domination of murderous methods. The shot
gun and whip never were potent outside of
slave States, and are not yet and never will be
potent enough to capture the country. The
day Of peace and harmony may be near at
hand but the American people will not be-
lieve it until Democrats leave shotguls and
bull-whips out of politics.

In 1882 the Republicans elected 444, the
Democrats $50 and the Independents
ST. Should the same ratio of gain
hold good in the 4S unreported counties, the
Republicans will have 511 trustees and the
Democrats 463, allowing the Independents
the same number they had in the election of

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Why is No. 2 red wheat quoted higher in st.
Louis than in New York; n. A. LOGAN.
MIcHIGANTowN, Ind
The explanation may be found in the fact that
the wheat in New York city is there for export,
while that in St Louis is for milling purposes,
St Louis being one of the great -four cities of
the world, and next to Minneapolis, perhaps the
largest. The higher rates charged for freight
such as wheat from east to west precludes the
shipment of any in that direction. Wheat in
St Louis is in better position than wheat in
New York In the former place it may yet be
manufactured into -four and shipped in that
form, while the great quantities in New York
must be shipped as grain, there being no choice

THE methods and systems by which valua-
tons are fixed and taxes assessed in the city of
indianapolis and Marion county are simply
infamous. Valuations are made by no rule
except the whim of the assessor or his dep
uty. There are no fixed methods of ascertain
ing relative values; the likes and dslkes
of the deputies have more to do with appraise-
ments than has actual value. John Smiths
house, worth So, 900, is assessed at $1,000
while John Browns, Of equal cost, is assessed
at So, 500. The methods of doing county bus
mess, and especially in the matter of taxation,
are rotten and corrupt. Taxpayers ought to
scrutinize their tax-lists this year, and see
what they are paying for the
privilege of living in this community
