Circumstances indicate that the Union

Northern Pacific Companies are adjusting
THAR relations on basis Of mutual benefit.
Il will be rscollectsd that there was break
up last year between the transcontinal roads
In relation TO Pacific Coast freights, the San
Francisco people refusing TO sign the obliga-
tion required by Mr.. Muir to give the N. p.
Q share Of trade and the N. p. thereupon
making arrangements which LEFT San Fran
cisco without any benefits from the new
road. The complications growing out Of
this, However, unsettled the relations be-
tween tho N. r. and U. r. and matters have
not been altogether smooth between them
since. At present, however, the money pool
Of the transcentinental roads 10 being recon-

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
A Good Report From the House Committee.

&
WASHINGTON, May ia report has been
submitted to accompany the bill reported
from the House comnittse on public lands,
providing for repeal Of the presumption and
timber culture laws and an amendment to
the homestead law. The committee says
ave believe It should be the policy Of the
government TO give those Of Its citizens who
are without homes such m amount Of the
public domain as will make them comforta-
BILE homestssds where. they enter upon It 10
good faith, intending TO make 1t their homes,
and cultivate and lIve upon the same for .
fxsd period OF time, and We believe 100
acres should be the maximum. Under the
prs-smption, homestead and timber culture
laws, - they now stand, one person may be
come the owner Of $50 acres Of public
domain-l60 acres under each. In our
opinion this is too large IN amount Of land
for Any person TO acquire In this manner.
We think the policy Of the government
should Be 10 furnish - many Of its citizens
with comfortable homes - long in the future
~ possible, and 100 acres is sufficient for
this purpose. BY giving them this amount
IL will not be many years till al our public
domain will be taken up. The pre- emption
law was passed In 1861, the homestead lag
In lso2 and the timber culturs act In 1878.
When the homestead act was enacted the
p,semption Law should have been repealed.
The timber culture laws should never have
bssn passed. We have therefore In the
substitute provided for ths repeal Of
the pre- emption and timber culture acts and
IN amendment TO the homestead law"

and that from Portland to local points on the
Union Pacific, will be sent direct ria the
Utah d Northern, and Northern Pacific, and
Oregon Railway and Navigation, instead Of
ria the Central Pacific and San Francisco.
Rates will be the same from Omaha as from
st. Paul"
The recent appointment Of George b.
Smythe, Jr., ~ agent for both companies At
Garrison IL further evidence Of amity, and
with II Is renewed the ttrse.rail project 10
Butte and Anaconda which we understand
has simply remained In absyance subject TO
an agreement by which the Northern Pacific
can demand Its being laid. II is not among
the imprc liabilities even that this will yet be
consummsted, and, II It Is, It seems TO US
Just IS probable the Union Pacific will see 1t
to its interest to make the Utah d Northern
. broad gauge on the entire system north OF
Pocatello. The business Of the road Is sim
ply enormous compared TO the anticipations
Of Its builders, and IL the rumored promotion
Of General Manager Clark TO the position
now occupied by Mr.. Dillon Is consummated
the adjustment Of this entire north western
system to standard gauge will doubtless be
determined upon at . not remote day.

days occupancy. From the manner Of hang

dence, they were evidently tenderfset on =
hunt. Letters were found written In French,
In care Of Mandan Arm. Photographs Of .
young man aud young lady were found.
Contents of the tent were found milde wed,
proving desertion last fall. Everything but

Beechcr's Antics.

NEW YORK, May TO-. Many pastors
preached upon the recent Wall Street furry
yesterday, and in several Instances Grant
was handled without gloves. The journals
note that Newman, Grants old friend, said
nothing to-day Of finance.
Yesterday Beecher, who preached mainly
on Grant and Conkling, announced that
Remenyi, the violinist, would play at the
end of the sermon. At the conclusion Of the
sermon, Beecher invited Remenyi to the
pulpit, but the artist declined, and took his
position on the pulpit stairs. He played .
beautiful piece of sacred music, which was
enthusiastically applauded. Beecher arose
In evident anger, and said: al am surprised

more surprised il one of my prayers to the
Almighty should be applauded." Remenyi
closed by playing the National hymn Of
Hungary. Chang, the Chinese giant, was
also in the audience.

PHILADELPHIA, May 19.-The Times, to-
morrow, will contain an open lstter from
,x-Attorney General MacVeagh to eI-Secre-
ary Bristow, tn Arthur as q Presidential
Iandidate. 1t opens thus 81 notice you
IRE announced to address . meeting to-mor-
ow night in New York, in support Of the
roposition that the political career Of
chester A. Arthur makes his elevation to
he Presidency by the votes of his fellow
citizens more desirable than that for instance
q Senator Edmunds or Senator Sherman, or
ny other of our eminent public men whose
nmes are frequently used in connection
nth that great Office. As you extorted my
simiration and support and Mr.. Arthur's
ontemptuous hostility eight years ago BY
your efforts to bring the guilty in high place
10 punishment, am sorry to End myself
differing so radically from YOU A. to the
present duty Of men who are for higher and
,urer public life; but my warm personal re-
,srd for you makes me desirous that your
speech should be good one even in bad
cause. l therefore venture to offer you q
few suggestions. At the threshold 1 ought
20 warn you that, while nobody envies Mr..
Arthur's great place which he drew in the
lottery OF assassination, yet nobody has for.
gotten the frequent fact that Guiteau was an
original Arthur man; that he killed Presi
dent Garfield expressly to make Arthur
President, and that he did make him Presi.
lent by that act for nearly four years. In
view of this awful tragedy and its results, II
has always seemed to a good many people
outside of Wall street, Of course-that Z
proper sense Of decency and Of the fitness ol
things would have led President Arthur and
bis friends TO see that his true course was te
be satisfied with one term thus secured to
him, aud not to challenge his countrymen te
review bis history"

A LAW NEEDED.

1t Is not our purpose to 60 into any ex-
tended argument against prize fighting, but
We think 1t well At the present time TO men
tion that 1t Is very conspicuous kind Of dis
orderly conduct that should bo prohibited
in all ito variations In Montana. The spec
tscle last Sunday of three thousand persons
assembled at the race track at Butte, taken
thithsr by excursion trains and other public
and private conveyances, TO witness maui
ing match between two pugilists who bat
tered each other until one was insensible,
emphasizes the objections that ordinarily sx-
ist in the we'll regulated public mind to this
kind Of so-cslled "sport." Fighting with
gloves is merely evsding the laws and the
opinion crystalized against bare-handsd
slugging, and 10 bringing into disrepute what
is very desirable and proper masculine &C.
complishment, "the manly art Of self de-
feuse." We believe thoroughly In gymnas-
tic exercises; In young men training as ath.
letes and boxers and in developing their
muscles and learning how to use them to the
best advantage under any circumstances that
may arise in life. In proper exercise this
knowledge, power and skill Is commsnda.
BILE, but to use 1t In the prize ring 10 debaslng.
It 10 proper to learn to write, but not that IL
may be used to commit forgery; IT. is proper
to understand the use Of firearms, but not
that they may be used for murder. These
are abuses Of useful knowledge and so prize
lighting Is an abuse Of the art Of boxing.
The modern prize-nghter has grown adroit.
When he attempts to put his bare hands the
Shsrin's officers pounee upon him. He
therefore puts on buckskin glove that pro-
tects his knuckles but hurts the other fellow
just ~ bad, and 10! there 10 no law to say
him nay and he can pound his man to insen-
sibility under the very shadow Of the court
house. The law has been evaded. 1t Is so
not only In Montana but in many Of the
States. The law. maker hasn't got around
to action In the matter; public sentiment
hasn't pushed him up To the work and In the
meantime the combinations aud the
"glove test" artists are rsaping the harvest.
We believe the whole business ought to be
stopped by law. 1t is demorslizing and de-
grading in all Its effects and tendencies. 1t
will be the opportunity Of the next Lsgisla-
ture to enact such law and 1t will be the
opportunity of Reform Clubs and moral as-
carnations to see such petitions are present.
ed to the Legislature that It will not forget
all about 1t until the session Is over. A good
stout law with q severe penalty will h.s. .
better enectin discouraging these entertain
ments than moral suasion or all the editori-
ais all the moral editors Of Montana can
write.

Work at Anaconda
Revietc, Nay II.

At the present writing not quite two hun
dred men are given employment at the CON j.
pany's works in Anaconda All that are
needed are furnished work. 1t is tho inten
ton Of the company to construct on the
mountain side, above the works, four reser-
voirs, Of . capacity Of one hundred thousand
gallons each, into which water will be con-
Quoted BY pipe line from Warm Springs
creek. This water supply, situated several
hundred feet above the works, will afford
ample protection in case Of fire. In the con.
struction Of these reservoirs, the digging OF
trenches and the laying Of the pipes, there
will be need Of an increased number of men.
As stated above, however, there is no need
of an influx Of laborers or mechanics.
Should the demand exceed the supply, the
fact will be made public, and until that time
there should be no rush OF men here in earch
of employment. Whenever . man can be
put to work, he is at once employed.
