Governor Ireland. of Texas. n

Governor Ireland, of Texas. must
have been drunk if he made the
speech ascribed to him at the stock
mems convention held at Austin the
10th inst. No man in his senses
would have publicly offered pardon
to murderers of fence cutters as Gov
ernor Ireland did on that occasion.
1t will puzzle the average reader to
understand why men Of large means
and immense herds of cattle should
be permitted to fence thousands of
acres of the public domain for their
own exclusive benefit. This they
have done in Texas Notwithstanding
the decision of the courts against
them. Men Of less means with small
herds of cattle have resented the in
justice to them by cutting the fences
so their cattle could have water. Sc
rious difficulties have ensued be-
tween the owners of fences and the
cutters which have resulted in the
loss of life. Governor Ireland's speech
will doubtless add to the list of MUIR
dered fence cutters.

past few days Gentiles, who
were accused by the dominant church
of desiring torob the M0rmonso ftheir

more radical, and but one sentiment

TIE CONSTITUTIONAL CON.
VENTION.

Next Monday the Constitutional
Convention will meet at Helena. Its
members were chosen in view of their
fitness to discharge the duties assigned
them. Nearly all are old residents of
the Territory thoroughly informed as
to Its needs and identified with its
interests. The miner, the farmer, the
STOCK raiser and the tradesman are
represented in the Convention. The
prosperity of each, are in a great
measure. dependent upon the other,
and no constitution will be accepta-
BILE to all which favors one of our
three principal industries at the ex-
.pense Of the others. The Territory
is an empire in the extent of its 40
main and is rapidly approaching
that stage in its development where
manufactures. will become an i'm.
portant factor in its prosperity. Hence
a constitution should be framed,
broad enough in It's scope and deep
enough in its foundation to support
all Its present and anticipated indus
tries.
No reasonable DOUBT can exist in
the minds of those acquainted with
the personnel of the Convention that
the members of that body will pre-
sent a constitution for the suffrages
of the people which will not be &C.
ceptable to the mas ses. There are
certain industries pursued in the
Territory which are recognized as
leading ones. Capital is invited to
invest In, and still further develop
them. This fact is known to our
constitution makers, and it must be
presumed, until the contrary is
proven, that not one of them desires
to turn this capital from our doors.
Therefore there is no occasion for
any n interest to assert it's promi-
nence and demand especial consider
alton at the hands of the Convention.
All each industry desires is q fair
show under the Constitution and the
laws to be made in pursuance there
OF. The mining, the stock, the agri-
cultural, aud the business interests Of
Montana are so intimately connected
and 80 dependant upon each other
o their prosperity. that a blow
struck at the one would be injurious
to the others. We have too much
faith in the intelligence, the ability
and integrity of the Convention to
borrow any trouble in regard to its
Pctton.
