A larger business is done by tele-
graph companies in the United States
than any other country in the world.
Over 100000 messages were sent
last year, Great Britain sent nearly
100000, France 26,000,00O and
Germany 18,OOO,OOO. The total for
the world was 1872, 200, OOC, fully one
half being sent in English-speaking
countries. Germany has nearly as
many telegraph offices as the United
States, although so much smaller in
area, and doing less than half the
business. Great Britain, on the con-
trary, does large business with
comparatively few offices. The Can,
adian Dominion claims more tele.
graqh offices in proportion to popula.
ton than any other country.

ono DISCRIMINATION

Southern railroads refuse 10 let ne
groes ride in first class cars and
when the Reagan bill regulating
freights car was up for discussion
Mr.. O'Hara, the colored congress
man from North Carolina, placed the
democratic majority of the house
in q very pretty box. with his amend
ment to the Reagan bill, prohibiting
discrimination by railroads between
passengers. About forty democrats
including Hewitt, Potter and other
northern members, voted for the
amendment and nobody dared to
raise the point that the amendment
was not germane. Although the bill
does not touch passenger business it
is doubtful if the objection 70 the
germaueness of the amendment
would have stood. AT all events
Mr.. O'Hara made good point. i
Congress can prevent discrimination
in the treatment of freight shippers
it can also prevent discrimination il
treatment of passengers on the gen
eraI principal that one mans none.
is as good as another's. The color
ed men should push for state legisla
ton in assertion of this principle. TIL
democrats were considerable disor
ganized and precipitately adjourned
The fight was kept up two days an
the colored men, O'Hara and Small
won signal victory, defeating th
effort to reconsider the action of th
day before. This probably kills til
Reagan bill, which had no chance {
passing the senate anyway.

farmhouse at that place Sunday
noon. He left Brattleboro on a buck
hoard Saturday morning where he

thought that he got off his wagon to
fix broken whiffletree and was kick

preached at Dover until he came to
Brattleboro two years ago. Since
then he has preached in Nottingham.

recognized at all are considered as in
terlopers to be looked OH with suspicion.
That our industries are in a measure
conflicting with those of the western
part Of the territory is one reason, but
the growing importance ofthissection,
its rapidly increasing wealth and pop.
ulation are the greater and moving
causes and plain reasons for the jeal-
ousy of the older portion of the
territory.
From its organization until few
years ago TIE territory of Montana
though ofthe same geographical dimen-
sions was made up in fact and controlled
by the first settled counties. Having
become accustomed to rule all they are
naturally 10th to give up any If their
prestige or divide the honors with
newer counties. This spirit is plainly
manifested In the territorial appor-
tionment of representation TO the
various counties i'm the territorial con.
vsntion to he held at Helena on Sept.
ember 18th. Out of a total member
ship of iifty-six delegates, divided
among the thirteen counties of the
territory, but seven are accorded TO the
counties of Custer, Dawson and
Yellowstone, while Gallatin county
alone IL allowed the same number of
delegates rs all of the the counties just
named combined. This apportion-
ment is arbitrary, and SO made a. TO
practically disenfranchise eastern Mon
tana i'm the convention. The ratio of
the apportionment is not made known
and 1t does not seem 10 have been
based on either the vote or the popu.
lation Of the counties, else il would
not have been 80 glaringly dispropor-
tionate.
More generosity and less jealousy
should he manifested by our older sis
tiers il they expect due respect when
the scepter of power shall have passed
into other hands as il inevitably will
in the not far distant future. in the
meantime our only hope is to put
forth our best endeavor aud our best
men until egain the recognition that
the population and resources of east
