a. Montans Nm no doubt soon beei

AZ Montana win no doubt soon begin
10 receive . large accession to its popula-
lion. when the craze for going further
west to country not half 80 good shall
be over, and persons who are anxiously
seeking new homes in the great west
shall begin to look around for the country
offering the best inducements; it may
not be amiss TO make q few suggestions
to those who intend to make Montana
their future home. That this country is
destined to be q great mining, stock
raising, and 60 far as its area ia concern
ed good agricultural country does not
admit of q doubt, and while it has all
these resources. its greatness will depend
in no small measure upon the class of
persons who come here to make homes.
The success Of the ones who come will
depend entirely upon the stuff that is in
them. The pioneers of this country
think for themselves, and judge of per-
son by his work. If he has the pluck
and energy and the determination to
work out his own salvation, they will see
it, and he will not be long in enlisting
their aid and sympathy. If he is lazy
and indolent, he had better stay at home
and that it is the poorest country in the
world for one to live on his wits. Sha.ns
and humbugs are more easily detected
and sooner exposed than anywhere else.
You must not come with the expectation
of picking up dollars on the street. Gigs
do not grow on thistles," and hard work
with steady application, and sober and
industrious habits pays good interest.
This is not a paradise. Obstacles and
perplexities are to be met with here, as
elsewhere, and success will crown you if
you have the pluck to face them square,
ly. Make up your mind what you want
to do, and bend all your energies to the
accomplishment of the task you have
set. Steady industry will put you to the
front, no matter what pursuit you may
choose, but of all things do not come
possessed with the idea that with life
of ease, you can speedily amass fortune
and go back to the parental home to live
the balance of your days in ease. Come
prepared to make these glorious noun
tains your home; plant your stakes &C
cordingly, and you will "get there"
Honesty, industry and level head are
q good stock in trade and if that is the
only capital you have got, it will insure
success. If you can bring more than
that, we'll and good, in fact 80 much the
better. To all such, no country offers
better inducements; lacking in all these
requisites we would advise you to stay
at home. We do not want you and you
will receive no encouragement when you
get here.

Money is now flowing into New York
from the Pacific slope and from the f.
nancial centres of the old world for in
vestment in securities which are being
forced on the market at sacrifice. The
New York banks will soon be begging for
the funds which they locked up in their
vaults when the country was on the
verge of panic. There will soon be
money in circulation in the country than
ever. What has been lost or locked up
by few will now find its way into the
hands of the many.

The New York Times is forced by its
opposition to Arthur and Blaine to tell a
truth which it has hitherto carefully
avoided admitting. It is that the country
is no longer republican; it has become
democratic. In 1876, it says, the dem
ocrats polled q 10000 majority of the
popular vote; in 1880, the republicans,
with the most popular man in the party
for their candidate, secured an insignii-
cant 1900 majority; in 1882 the demo-
Gratis had 100000 majority, and in 1888 in
fifteen states the democrats had major
ity of 1900 votes. The democracy there
fore, according to this republican author
ity, represents the popular sentiment of
the country, and has representedit ever
since Grants northumberland the
republicans will have to begin the ap-
preaching presidential campaign with
this disagreeable fact before their eyes.

publicanism has. been condemned by the
voice of the people, and though it con-
tinues in power to the day, it is minor

day for those desiring to consult the firm
but no business was transacted beyond
receiving claims and fixing basis of SET
Element. Mr.. Fisk said many depositors
and other creditors have expressed their
entire confidenc and notified them that
their claims will not be presented.
There was some wild talk to-day about
closing the stock exchange, but it is
treated with ridicule, as no necessity ex-
lists for such action, speculation being in
no sense panicy. An old member of the
board says the dealings are less Hurried
than on many occasions when no partic-
ular cause existed for excitement.
Hardy & Sons offices are at 10 Wall
Street. They state their suspension is
unaccountable at present.
The clearing house committee have
loan certificates ready for instant deliv-
cry, with the express determination to
use them literally, with the view of re-
lieving without delay any stringency in
the money market. Manager Camp, of
the clearing house, says the banks are
availing themselves more freely of the
certificates and $1O,OOO,OO0 were issued
to-day.
The Vanderbilt brokers say their chief
will reach London Monday, and they ex-
pect to receive heavy orders from him to

At the sub-treasury $3,5O0,OO0 legal
tenders were paid out this morning. This
strengthens the bank reserve. Brokers
report more willingness on the part of
banks to make loans. Large amounts
came from Canada and heavy transfers
have been made from the other side.
A London cable of 5 p. M, says that
since $50 there was strong downward

Vice-President Temple, of the Orange

years before he failed.
At the sub-treasury large amounts of
greenbacks and silver certificates were

Mr. Edmunds is claimed by his friends
to be stssman without reproach, and
there il no doubt the best elements in
his party want him nominated for Presi-
dent. In general sense it may be said
that he has been free of jobs and corrup-
tions, but If he gets the nomination many
black spots will no doubt be discovered.
One appears to Us now-that he was one

in Q screen at the head of his irrigating
ditch and thus prevent the trout from
following the ditch out in the fields,
where 30 many are annually destroyed.
You may not realize that much damage

done to protect the trout from destruction

P1rYBuRG, May 1.-THE Pittsburg
Sunday Globe prints the following letter
and Hewitt's answer to divers criticism
on his tariff bill, May l6, 1884:
DEAR SIR have read your letter of
the 18th inst, with pleasure and profit,
but as you have overlooked few points"
I will, with your permission, endeavor
to supply the omissions now in the brief
interval allowed me from arduous con
gressional duties. l beg leave to inquire.
First-What was the duty recommend
ed by the SOLVER commission" 627 on
wire rods, barbed wire, ETC., well known
specialties of Oliver Bros, and Phillips?
Second-How does it occur that under
the operation of the Oliver tariff you have
been enabled to purchase two new wire
mills, one blast furnace and partnership
in the Hartman mill, while other mills
are content with the old ten fashioned
per cent?
Third-How does it occur that under
the benign operations of the Oliver tariff
the mills of Oliver Bros, in Pittsburg are
enabled to run the whole year, while
other iron mills run on ar average but
four months in the year?
Fourth-Now that you are operating
blast furnaces will you inform the public
whether you hold the same view on raw
material as you did when on the tariff
commission, and if not: why not?
Fifth-Will you kindly inform an anx-
ious public how many of your s1.15 per
day employees enjoy the benefits of the
Oliver tariff?
Iwould suggest that SO far as wire rods,
barbed wire, ETC., are concerned, that the
Oliver tariff report might be appropri-
ately termed, "a bill for the relief of the
Oliver Bros, and Phillips"

The collapse Of the Cane Sugar industry
which it is to be hoped is only Temporal
ry-haS, as was to be expected, seriously
affected the revenue Of the Colony and the
Treasury has been almost in a state of
bankruptcy for several weeks past. The
payment of the salaries of public officers,
of the ordinary allowances for the mainte-
nance of the public institutions, and Of
other claims, had to be deferred for som
time, from the -impecuniosity of the Trea-
sury, arising chiefly from the Smallness of
imports, leading to a decrease in revenue
collected under that head; and this is to
be attributed to the inability of the labour-
ing classes (tho bulk of the cOnSumers) to
purchase, and this inability is the direct
consequence Of most Of the estates labOu-
lers not being employed for more than half
the week, and the rest of them not at all,
the cultivation Of the estates being greatly
limited from well known circumstances.
If things get on no better, we may soon
expect to have a downright bankrupt
Treasury, and with no prospect Of its being
otherwise until the planters troubles are
got over in one way or another: and how
this is to be done cannot be seen at pre-
sent.
This is the proper time for the Legisla-
b41 Aci NOV NNA1ACOAO NbA w
made in the public expenditure, so as to
have it on a level with a greatly decreased
and still decreasing revenue, and thus
guard against the possibility of having to
resort to increased taxation which would
become necessary to restore the financial
equilibrium if seriously disturbed for any
length of time.
In another part of this paper will be
found an invitation to planters and others
who are interested in the Agri-
culture OF this Island to attend a meeting
to DE held Oh Saturday, LIST proximo, at 4
o'clock, p. m, for the purpose Of establish
ing an Agricultural Society. The want
OF such a Society has long been felt, but
10 efforts were made, except at one time
only, and that very recently, to meet the
want. The value of such an Association is
to be found i'll cases in which combination
is necessary either to combat hostile
influences, or to give weight to any other
form of action undertaken in the Agricul-
tural interest.-DOminic0n.

WAsSEGrCN, January 3.-The publica-
ton OF the letters OF {. p. Huntington,
disclosing the movements of the RAILWAY
kings in Washington in connection with
the Southern and Texas Pacific land grants
and tho Thurman funding bill, has at
1racted great attention here. There can
oe tttle douh, that this publication will
Pave two results.
First, there will he searching investi-
CATION by one branch of Congress or the
other into the various suggestions COR
tanned in the letters of UNDUE influence.
Second, the publ cation will most unqueS-
tionably destroy whatever hopes or pros
poets the Southern Pacific magnates had
oi obtaining from Congress the ratification
OF the assignment of the unearned land
grant of the Texts Pacific to the Southern
Pacific
Mr Huntington may not care for an in
vestigation, or fer public opinion, but II
evidently has been his purpose TO en-
desvor to obtain from Congress the Texas
Pacific grant, having failed in securing
from the Interior Department the fsvora-
bic action which he doubtless expected
last spring. Members who have read the
correspondence say Il Vt however strong
Huntington ma; have been before in its
southern Pacific scheme, 1t is extremely
doubLul now, when the curtain has been
lifted from his private correspondence,
whether he can obtain any considerable
following in Confess. Members will hes
itate To work In the interests OF scheme,
the promoter of which mag be preparing,
for some future publication, a diary of the
motives which, l:ightfully or wrongfully,
he may be rle;sed 20 impute to them.
Shrewd lo6bymen here exTtsss surprise
that Hpnti1gtcn should have written SO
many letters without knowing that they
went ''to tho hisket." They Sre much
more surprised that he should have been
so reckless rs to have engaged in legal
controversies with the widow Cotton.
