THE BIG CATTLE TRAIL BILL.

The big cattle trail bill now before Con-
gress is meeting with considerable oppo'
sition. The bill provides that the Secretary
of the Interior shall appoint three CON-
missioners to lay out and mark by metes
and bounds quarantined National Trail
and grazing grounds. The trail is defined
not to exceed six miles in width and to be
narrowed at places to a mere public high
way. The grazing grounds are to be es-
tablished along the trail and not to exceed
twenty miles square. Both the trail and
grazing grounds to be strictly quarantined,
and no cattle allowed to leave it SO long as
they have any signs of Texas fever among
them. The Commissioners are required to
make their report to the Secretary of the
Interior, and to file map of the trail as es-
tablished, and then to give public notice OF
its establishment and the withdrawal of the
public lands occupied by it from either
sale, location or settlement for the term OF
ten years. After the publication Of no.
tice Of opening the trail is 10 be open at all
seasons Of the year for the driving upon il
of any live stock by any person, firm OF
corporation. The trail is to extend from
Texas on the South to the British Posses
sions on the North. The bill appropriated
ten thousand dollars for completing the
! work.

THE ADMISSION OF MONTANA.

The New Orleans Picaynne, an ultra
Southern paper, in discussing, editorially'
the question Of the admission Of Montana
as State Of the Union says: "The popu-
lation of Montana, in 1880, was 39,15o;
but it is claimed that the railroad building
of the past four years has aided in devel'
opmcnt so rapid that the population is up
ward of the $4,000. Probably this claim
is exaggerated, but rapid development has
certainly occurred. The Territory now
contains 7S7 miles of the trunk line OF the
Northern Pacific, and two branches, 50
and 20 miles, besides about 200 miles OF
narrow gauge road belonging to the Union
Pacific. Its live stock is worth $23,ooo, 900
and its output Of silver and gold is $S,ooo,'
600. Its Eastern half is s2lendidly adapt
ed to grazing, and doubtless much OF II
will ultimately be found good wheat coun'
try. But we scarcely look for its speedy
admission as State, unless it comes in un'
der political compromise. Five Terrific
ries now cry for admission-1daho and
Arizona will soon join them, leaving mod
est Wyoming alone waiting for population
After all, there is much to be said in favor
of admitting 4 Territory which desires it.

Apostle of silver, etc.

WASHINGTON, June-19-WashngtOn is sup
posed to be a pretty lazy place about this
time of the year, but there are some busy
men here just now. Indeed it is safe TO say
that there are more busy people in Washing
ton now than there ever have been at this
time of the year. Your average department
clerk Is in an agony OF apprehension lest he
lose his place, and j. pitching into his work
with vieor that WAS never refore known.
The chiefs OF divisions are all anxious to
make good records for their divisions lest
they be retired, and they are not only work
ing hard themselves but are pushing every
one undCr them To their best speed. The
new officials are, OF course hard at work try
ing 10 make a fir~t-claSs record for them
selves and their party. This hot weather is
q good deal harder on Us than it ever was be

Office al the close OF one Of the hottest days
Of this week. Our chief has always urged Us
heretofore not To hurry much on hot days,
but to take il easy and move about part OF
the time rather than Ill At our desks con-
stantly. Bat il j. different now, l can tell

my position The chief of our division is
trying hard tO make Il record, and watches

There i a popular belief that the busiest
people are the heads of the departments and
the appointment clerks This is a popular
error. To be sure, these officers are busy,
but they are not more pressed by the anxious
tbrOng than some Of the Others of their de
p9riments. Take the Treasury Department.
for instance II l. an error TO suppose that
the appointment clerk wreStleS with all the
appointments made there. Indeed, the most
important work done there thus lar has been
by the head Of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
Commissioner Miller OF course, all the
papers i'm the revenue cases go through the
hands of Mr.. Higgins. but the responsibility
OF selecting the pen Tor these places, OF
listening To the appeals for the appoint
ments, rests with Mr.. Miller. An
hour in his room VIII show to the
observer something Of the scramble there Is
devOlving on him. He occupies a large
room in the north end OF the Treasury build
ing. full square from the Office of the Sec
retfry, although in the same building. The
number of visitors calling upon him in day
is something wonderful. All recommended
arguments to the fitness of this or that
man for cOllectorShip. are poured into his
ears. His room IS the Mecca OF all pilgrims

YOU are sure 10 find il filled with anxious
souls Some of them are the candidates for
place, some are the friends of these candi-
dates, and some are members OF Congress
all of whom think that they ought TO have
something To say about the selections for
these places. The room i 4 very large one
and j. lined with chairs and sofas
These soon till up and those coming later are
Obliged To- stand. The Commissioner sits
quietly az his desk and receives his callers in
turn. There i chair close by his and
when a man has anything to say he takes his
tnrn in getting into the chair much as at a
barber shop. Then he gets his head as close
Ia that Of the Commissioner as he can and

pecialiy hot or the man has anything es-
