The house at Washington has passed
by a large majority several bills forfeit
ing railroad land grants in the southern
states, the most important being the one
that affects the Texas Pacific. The nor
thern railroads will be the next to get
their land grants dished up. A more
conservative feeling is being developed
in regard to the Northern Pacific, and a
good many are in favor of repeating the
grant only where the road is not con-
structed at the present time. Anything
more radical than this would probably
not be countenanced either by the SEN
ate or the president. Congressman seem
to be afraid to champion the cause Of
the railroads in the least, as the tide of
public opinion seems to be strongly
against these old land grants, and our
representatives never forget that there
will be another election soon. They
know it is best to keep on the popular
side of the question, ever though prin-
ciple and justice would take them on
the other side of the fence.

THE Canadian government has come
to the relief of it's national baby-the
Canadian Pacific-in good shape. It
will be a pretty expensive infant by the
time it gets strong enough to take care
of itself, judging by the amount of gov
ernmental pap it has absorbed in the
last two years. The last loan is 500, OOO,-
900, which will be sufficient to finish
it through to the Pacific, as there is a
small balance Of $12,O OO, 900 still due to
them on a former appropriation. Our
northern neighbors, with true English
grit, seem bound to put the railroad
through, even if they have to mortgage
their Newfoundland Goldfish banks to do
it. Enterprise is a good thing, and SO
are railroads, but from all we can hear
Of the country north of the line, the
Almighty will have to make the most
of it over again before it will ever be in
habited by civilized beings. Railroads
are poor property without a habitable
country to furnish the business.

THE new bill before congress for the
suppression of polygamy in Utah it is
hoped will do some good towards effec-
tually Kidding US of this relic of barbar-
ism. The most striking features of the
bill are as follows: Marriage records of
all kinds shall be open to the inspection
Of the United States court, which would
open to public gaze the mysteries of the
heretofore secret endowment house; fe-
male suffrage is to be abolished, which
will prevent the Mormon elder from
voting his dozen wives at each election;
the corporations known as the Mormon
church and the perpetual emigrating
fund company are to be dissolved and
the net assets are to revert to the United
States for the benefit of the common
schools of Utah. It is to be hoped that
something will be accomplished by this
bill, as it is well known that all previous
anti-polygamy legislation has been a
complete failure as far as results are
concerned.

The bottom seems to have been reach
ed by Northern Pacific stocks at last,
and they are now on the rise. The sale
of 80, 900 shares of preferred and 10000
shares of common stock at 36 and Is cents
respectively seems to haye had a very
bracing effect, as they at once jumped
up to 40 and % cents. This large lot of
stock was purchased by a syndicate Of
the wealthiest men in the country, as
it comprises Gould, Drexel, Morgan,
Sage, Field, and other we'll known man
ipulators Of the stock market. The pur-
chase Of Northern Pacific securities by
these railroad magnates is pretty con-
elusive evidence that our Montana
through line has seen its darkest days,
and it will be all plain sailing from this
time on.

WE see that Senator Vest, who was
the recipient OF Benton's hospitality
last summer. has introduced a bill into
the senate asking for an appropriation
Of 100000 to improve the Missouri
river near Wyandotte, Kansas. What
we would like to see would be a bill for
the Improvement Of the river a little
nearer its source-somewhere between
Fort Benton and Bismarck; also some
decisive action on the part of the dis
tinguished senator on the ~reservatian
question. If he will only give us a good
Fort Benton will only be too glad to
again wine and dine Senator Vest the
next time he favors us with a call.

The false prophet is making it inter.
esting to the regular Egyptian govern.
ment and their English allies. It has
beer one continued victory for the rebel
forces since the first decisive battle.
England thought at first she would be
able to sit still and see the insurgents
exterminated, but her help is needed
worse now than it was at the lombard
ment Of Alexandria. English capitalists
have too many millions of money in
vested in government bonds and the
Suez canal to allow their securities to be
made absolutely worthless by the sue
cess attending the rebellion Of these
half-crazy hordes. Religious fanaticism

Our eastern exchanges are giving the
number Of Indians on the Blackfoot
reservation at 1900. This must be a
typographical error or else the commit
tee that visited us last summer did not
take much pains to get reliable informa-
ton on the subject. Responsible par
ties who have lived on the reservation,
at the agencies, foryears put the number
Of Indians at six times that number, or
5000 in all. But this is only an error of
$500, which we suppose will be consid-
cred too small a mistake to be rectified,
especially when it Is made about such a
distant, out Of the way place as northern
Montana. If all the information which
is dished up daily about about territorial
matters to the eastern public happens to
be as wild a guess as this, the newspa-
pers, instead of being a source of infor-
nation, will continually tend to mislead
the reading public.

The course which a great many news
papers are taking in severely criticizing
the marriage Of Fred Douglass to Miss
Pitts, is to be condemned. Because
Douglas is a public man is no reason
why his private affairs should be made
the subject Of public discussion. It is
extremely bad taste for newspapers
whose political antecedents are opposed
to his, to make this the subject for a
long editorial TRADE against miscegena-
ton, etc., as many of our democratic ex-
changes are doing. It is conceded by
all that Douglass public life has been
an honorable one, without a stain. Why
he should now be hauled over the Goals
for marrying the object of mis- choice
any more than a man in private life is
more than we can understand.

DAKOTA despairs of being admitted
as a state by this congress, but hopes to
be divided now into two distinct terri
tories, as the present n can never agree
on any measure whatever ON account OF
the diversity Of sectional interests. This
is well illustrated in the case of locating
the capital, which has aroused bitter
feelings everywhere. A bill creating
the territory of North Dakota is already
before the senate for consideration.

CHARLOs, chief of the Flatheads, is
now on a visit to the "Great Father at
Washington. The old Indian refuses to
be forced or cajoled into leaving the Bit
ter Root valley. but with the obstinacy
peculiar to his race would rather starve
with the remnant of his tribe in their
present location than move north to the
Flathead reservation, and live like a
prince OH an annuity. He claims that
his name was forged to the treaty which
provided for removing them to the
Jocko agency, and bases his refusal to
stir upon that ground. 1t is hard to see
though, why he holds out, unless he ex-
poets to get more concessions and an
nuities from the government as the price
of his submission. The settlers of the
Bitter Root are of course anxious to get
this disturbing element from among
them, and are not to be blamed for so
wishing. A tribe of begging, starving
Indians is not very desirable in any
decent community.

FROM all reports the Canadian Pacific
authorities intend to make a struggle
to secure part of fhe western emigration
this coming season. They intend to
reduce the passenger rates for settlers to
$l5. The Northern Pacific will have to
be a little more reasonable i'm their rates,
as they will find a good many of their
Montana settlers coming in by the nor
thern route.

THE prohibition question is again
agitating the legislatures of the several
states. In Iowa the more rabid of the
prohibitionists want to bar out of the
state all wine and beer, as they have
whisky, which will result in the conis-
cation of $7,000,0O O worth of property
that is now used for the manufacture of
malt liquors. Side issues like this are
tearing the old political parties all to
pieces, and it takes some cautious hedg-
Ing on the part of shrewd politicians to
keep on the popular side of such ques-

strictly party one OH this matter. One
would naturally think hat the demo-
Gratis would join with the republicans in
wishing such high handed actions on
election day shown up in their true
light. The party that does not want O
free ballot but resorts to bulldozing for
its votes will always be condemned by
the liberty-loving Americans.

THE RESERVATION AGAIN.

The settlers of Dakota, especially the
Black Killers, are in dead earnest about
having the great Sioux reservation
thrown open this winter, and are keep
ing the subject agitated in good shape.
There is no foolishness about them !;
they will "get there" and don't you
forget it. The Dakota men are ~rustlers
from away back, and it will be a cold
day when they get left.
The prominent men of that territory
wan the reservation thrown open and
the country settled up at once. More
their wants and wishes known. They
are not bashful nor ashamed to come out
flat footed and say to congressman, eve
want the Sioux reservation thrown open
it is better for the white settlers and
better for the Indians that it should he
done, and done at once. The redskins
have no earthly use for that country,
and the whites want it for stock ranges
and ra%nching."
We would like to see a little more of
the same spirit manifested by this COM
munity. 1t would give us more conf
dence in the near approach of the Ben
ton boom.
Everyone in this vicinity wants to see
the Blackfoot reservation opened, and
stockmen and ranchers fiecking into
that country by the thousands. They
would buy their groceries and dry goods
in our town, and make trade hum SO
that instead of one business house wish
ing to sell out and leave the town, there
would be a dozen new firms coming in
and starting for themselves. The large
wholesale establishments Of this city are
especially interested in this project, as
they will be benefited in exact proper
portion to the amount of business they
transact, and they should be foremost
in agitating this important question.

seems to play an important part in this
last outbreak, and experience has shown
that in Moslem communities this is the
hardest thing to fight. The tardy action
of the English government in coming
to the rescue will probably lead to the
Massacre of many Europeans who are
scattered all over that country, engaged
in business projects.

IT seems lately thatifG Governor Crosby
will not grant a respite to condemned
criminals, President Arthur will, as
TWO murderers have had their mortal
lives heightened out recently by the
action of the chief executive. Our Mon
tana officials, the governor, our juries,
and judges. ought to be competent to
run the affairs of this little government
without SO much outside interference.

THE latest novelty in the line of ex-
citing experiments is in leaving sticks
OF dynamite lying loose around a red

five on the Canadian Pacific have al
ready gone to glory while trying this
little scheme.
