Lord Lorne has turned author ant

Moutanians would like to read tn
chapter describing his experience il
Helena.
The extren ne cold weather which
recently visited the East has, j
is said, nipped the buds of severa
Presidential booms. Men can't tall
politics with the thermometer at a
below zero.
Sergeant Mason has added moth

while In prison, since his release
On the contrary he has succeeded in
disgusting the whole American PEG
pie by his recentconduc t.

If Speaker Carlisle should be elect
ed United States Senator from Ken
lucky, Sunset Cox would have the
inside track for the ace Tor the
Speakership. Randall secured bis
full strength upon the first ballot
when Carlisle was elected.
Senator John Sherman has refused
the offer of the presidency OF the
Northern Pacific. The Ohio Sen
ator has q large sized Presidential
bee in bis bonnet but it wants to
swarm in the White House, not on
the line Of the great transcontinental
road.
It is pleasant to learn that the
Canadian government proposes to
give due attention to the class Of emf
grants sent to that country. AS the
same so easily find their way into
the United States u vwn Govern"
ment is also somewhat interested in
this matter.
The ever generous Republicans
seem bound 10 relieve the Democratic
party of all trouble IN selecting a
Presidential candidate. This time
they present the lame of Henry B.
Payne, of Ohio, to the consideration
of the Democracy. 1t is very kind of
our Republican brethren.
The Crows claim they have made
no lease cf their reservation for graz
ing purposes. They promise to con-
slider the matter after they snail re-
ceive their recession money. Sharp
and considerate Crows. They will
be moved to the Big Horn country,
however, whether they want to 80
or not.
The trial of James Mutt, who killed
Dukes, will commence at P%ittsburg,
Pa tomorrow. Mutt appears to
have the sympathy of the people of
that city to as great an extent as he
has that of his neighbors at Union
town. 1t will be as difficult to con-
vict him at the former place as it
would be at the latter.
1t seems by his Gwn statement
Huntington paid out $4O9, 900 for the
Southern Pacific for which he has
no vouchers, nor could he tell under
oath what became Of the money. |
The presumption is the money was
used In Congress to defeat Scots
Texas Pacific enterprise. Here IS a
fine field for q Congressional investi-
eating committee.
The m that the National Park
Improvement Company will have
their franchise taken from them
seems to have some foundation in
fact. If the reports concerning their
depredations in that preserve be true
the company is adding nothing to
its attractions. The matter will prob
ably be investigated by the present
Congress.
South America is destined to be
the next great beef producing region
of the world. 1t is estimated that in
two years from now the cattle in the
Argentine Confederation will num-
Der %. 900 900, against 10000 600 in
1877. The enormous increase in the
number of cattle has brought down
the price so that good fat steers are
selling at Sc to IS.
It is believed the Sioux Commits
sion of which Delegate Maginnis is j
a member will recommend a reduc-
ton of all the reservations in Mon
tana and OF the Sioux reservation in
Dakota. The demand for these re-
ductlons is SO general that Congress
cannot, in justice to the great num-
Der of hOme-seekers, ignore 1t. The
sooner they are made the better it
will lie for both the Indians and the
settlers.
Boston puts in a bid for the next
National Democratic Convention.
One of its journals says the work of
u convention held in that city would
sweepthe country, and adds: Let one
Democratic Convention inhale the
salty and refreshing breath of the
noble Atlantic, whose waters are SUI
perior to the muddy Mississippi or its
murky tributary, the Ohio" 1t
omits to mention Butler as one of the
great attractions of the place.
