Territorial Judgeships

AS a matter directly interesting
Montana, it will be rendered that the
House recently passed a bill to- allow
four judges instead of three in each of
the Territories. The bill is now in
the Senate committee on the judiciary.
1t is said that Senators Edmunds and
Garland, of the committee, are op-
posed to. the bill, and desire the com
mittee to report it adversely, on the
ground of additional expense to the
government, and that the judicial
business of a Territory is not SO large
that three efficient judges cannot
transact it. The Delegates of the
Territories feel hat Edmunds has
shown a very illiberal disposition to-
ward the Territories, despite their
merits. -Bozeman Courier.
