Emigrant MOyabIes.

The Northern Pacific railroad has issu-
ed an addenda, reducing the rate on
emigrant movables to points in Minneso-
to and Dakota to take effect March 10th,
1884.
The term "Emigrant Movables" will
apply upon freight properly forming any
part of the outfit of an intending settler,
and will include secondhand household
goods, secondhand farming implements
or tools, secondhand vehicles, trees,
shrubbery, live fowls. and not to exceed
ten head of live stock in carload ship
ment. 1t will not include merchandise,
provisions. grain Except for feeding
animals in transit, or fifty bushels for
seed,) or any articles intended for sale at
destination. In addition to the articles
named above there may be loaded with
a car of emigrant movables the following
commodities: Lumber (not to exceed
$500 feet fence posts mot to exceed 500
in number), or a portable house and
billed at same rate as straight car load
of emigrant movables.
Emigrant movables less than carloads
will be construed to mean household
goods, secondhand wagons, secondhand
farm machinery, and should be plainly
marked.
A carload shipment of emigrant NOV
ables, going to Minnesota or Dakota, con-
tanning live stock, must be accompanied
by man to take care of them, VINO will
bs passed free.
The rates provide for carload of 20,
600 pounds or less; and if oyer 10000
pounds, excess will be charged proper
tionate rate.
Carloads of emigrant movablos will not
be stopped in transit short of destination
to unload anv part.
We do not see why they do dot include
in this reduction the rate to Montana and
all points on the road, unless they think
all other points will build up without
any assistance.

As the coming city election is being
agitated good deal on the street and
candidates for the various officers are
getting to be as thick as blackberries in
June, the question arises how shall the
claims of these gentlemen be properly
put forth. Some are advocating the
nomination by the political parties, of
two tickets. Some are in favor of mass
convention to nominate ticket, and
others go-as-you-please race. We have
been opposed to making party fight on
this question, preferring that politics
should not enter into the canvass, but
if such a course shall be deemed advis-
able, we shall of course espouse our side,
at the same time we say we do not pre-
fer to make a political fight. We are
aware there are many advantages from
nominations by party. as both will en-
deavor to pick out the best from those
offered, but then there are drawbacks to
political mastery in the dispensation of
patronage etc. We would prefer to see
the best men selected without inquiring
into their political antecedents.

The Madisonian of the Sth inst, hand
les Judges Wade and Galbraith without
gloves for changing the terms of the dis
trict court in this district, without even
consulting Judge Conger, who is the judge
of the district, atleast until Jud Coburn
shall arrive and assume the robes of Office.
1t says that only few weeks ago Judge
Conger arranged for terms in this district
and was prepared to hold them, and this
new change is an utter surprise to him
and one in which he had nothing to say.
In conclusion the Madisonian adds:
These racts, together with rumors-very
pronounced rumors-of judicial trucking
to railway corporations, as we'll as irreg-
ularities and immoralities besides which
anything that has been charged against
the judge of the first judicial district APP
pears as angelic virtue, naturally create
suspicion that the postponement of the
terms of court in the lower counties, at
much expense to those counties, is in
spired by deeper reasons than Difference
to the wishes of the newly-appointed
judge. They afford good grounds for the
presumption that it was intended tostave
off investigation into matters which, by
an intelligent scrutiny. might have placed
in an unenviable light some officials who
have been posing of late as examples of
a high standard of morality and virtue.
And this suspicion will not be dispelled
by the fimsy story that the upsetting of
all the business of the district is prompt
ed by regard for the wishes of one to
whose wishes no Difference is yet due.
We submit that it is in order for Judge
Wade to further explain an act which,
putting it very mildly, is high-handed
proceeding, without parallel in the an
mails of Montana jurisprudence, and one
that is not likely to impress the new
judge, if he be the high-minded gentle
man his friends represent him to be, with
a very exalted opinion OF his confreres
on the supreme bench.

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.


l have frequently heard it reported
that the library now in our school chapel
is to be donated to the B. L. S. or the Y.
NJ. c. A., of recent origin. Now, l have
no knowledge Of the membership Of the
organization that purchased the library
we now have in our possession, am not
informed with any degree Of positiveness
that the Bozeman Literary Association
donated those books to the public school,
notwithstanding.it is SO reported. How
ever, in behalf of the students of all
grades and in the interests of our public
schools l would respectfully ask that the
books be retained for the use and benefit
of the students. deem it injudicious to
take away intellectual food from our
children for the purpose of nourishing
strangers and young men capable OF
securing good literature for themselves.
Moreover. have acted in the capacity
of librarian for the past four months,
and any young men DESTROYS of reading
have been given the same privileges as
the students.
l take pleasure in stating that the
students are improving the opportunity
threading, and there are now over fifty
books drawn and in use. As it is, the
books Of references are convenient and
habits of reading are being cultivated
which would be otherwise if the library
were located in any other part of the
city.
1t is the highest and best ambition of
every high school to secure library.
The larger the library, the greater the
convenience. We want more books,
more furniture, more apparatus, more
rather than subtraction
from our present appliances. We have
no objections to the Y. NJ. c. Association.
1t is organized for an elevating and en-
nobling purpose. 1t is grand society
and is doing great good throughout the
United States, but the children ought
not to be robbed for its benefit.
Fearing that the schools might be de-
prived of what they SO highly esteem,
in their behalf, 1 present to those hav-
ing the disposition of the books in their
power, these thoughts and ask if posi-
BILE formal donation to the high school.

The Helena Herald undertakes to crit.
icise the opinion of Acknowledgement
Johnston ON the validity of the printing
law. When it is remembered that Judge
Wade decided that the printing law was
out of existence because it was only in
tended to operate for two years he under
took to decide the intention of the legis-
lature. This was mere theory of the in
tention, based upon technical construc-
ton of the law. FIVE remember the law
was originally adopted in 1876, by the 9th
legislative assembly. Three years after
that, although according to his decision
it had expired the 18th session, re-enacted
it by incorporating in the Flaws of a gen.
eral and permanent nature, under an act
to arrange and cody the general laws of
the Territory of Montana in force at the
expiration of the Eleventh session of the
legislative assembly, on the 2lst day of
February A. D., 1879. Mark the words
in force, that is one year after, according
to its own terms as Judge Wade decides
it had expired. Now then this adoption
at least carried it on two years after 1879,
to wit; until 1882. Judge Wade guesses
at the intention of the legislature. The
attorney; general shows their intention
by their acts. First, incorporating in
the laws of the 18th session, recognizing
its validity in the 18th session. in 1883.
One opinion is theoretical based upon no
controversy and the other upon case in
point, where opinion was asked. We
cannot see how anv one not blinded by
partisan prejudice can take any other
view, than that expressed by the attor-
ney general. That simple little act of
the last legislative assembly was suffic-
lent to clinch the matter, and the only
recourse would be to declare that the
legislature had no authority to pass such
law. That is not contenned for.
