Notes.

Gen. Miles, the noted Indian fighter,
gives his solution of the Indian question
in an interesting article in the North
American Review. He believes they
should be placed in charge of the mill
tary. AS supervision of the Indians is
about the only excuse we have for the
existence ola standing army, the posi-
ton held by Gen. Miles will meet with
ready acceptance, especially in the
northwest, says the Globe.
1t is said that the republicans do not
want Edmunds elected president of the
senate, as in case of a close contest he
would not interpret the constitution in
their favor This is a CON- liment to the
Vermont senator's judicial impartialitv
which he should not fail to appreciate.
The recommendation by Postmaster
General Villas that railroad postal clerks
should be accorded substantial recon-
pense in case of injury deserves serious
consideration.

FORT ELLIS AGAIN.

During the week we have found citi-
Gems who oppose our proposition of
asking tor the enlargement of Fl. Ellis
TO a twelve company pJst.; where the
troops could be centralized, where horses
could be kept cheaper tnan elsewhere in
the northwest 4; where troops would be
within lew hours ride OF march to the
most DANGEROUS Indians on the frontier,
and for many other reasons which have
heretofore set forth to some length.
Those opposed argue that what Bozeinan
needs is the abandonment Of the post so
that the tine tillabe land now embraced
in the six by ten miles of mil itary reser-
Walton could be thrown open to the hus-
bandman. This they claim would make
BoEemar property in the direction Of
the reserve worth double what it now
sells for. This argument is not exactly
frivolous, but it can be easily overcome
by the fact that if Fl Ellis is enlarged
there is no need OF this vast reserve
being held By the military-one. of
the amount now held would be more
than sufficient to furnish pasture field
and truck patch for large post. Then
again, if the government pursues the
course It has always followed in dispos-
ing Of military reserves, some eastern
Spectator will purchase the entire tract
at nominal sum, fence and devote it to
stock raising purposes. Let US first make
an effort to make a large, permanent
garrison Of Ft. Ellis, and then It will be
found that property at the post end Of
Bozeman will increase IN value. The
farmers who are BOW here need a help
ing hand, and instead Of providing more
farmers for our limited market let us
rather provide the market for those who
are now here.

Elsewhere Geographic item notes the
fact Of the appointment Of Charles p.
Pollard, Of Delphi, Indiana, as associate
justice of the Supreme Court OF Monta-
ma The appointment was made to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal of
Judge Coburn of this district. Mr.. Pol
lard is ye:y highly spoken of as an able
jurist, and especially adapted for the
position to which he has been chosen.
The reason this appointment was not
made from Montana is explained by the
fact that no one applied for the judgeship
Of this district. There are very few
lawyers in Montana capable of taking
the position, who would quit their prac-
tice to occupy all Office that paid them
only $1,000 year. Mr.. Pollard has
friends in Bozeman, dnditis not prophet
ic to say that he will reside here, aud
that tie United States. court will be re-
moved here. The change of judgeship
means Of course, change in the Office
of district and deputy district clerks.

2AILROAD PROSPECTS.

Elsewhere we publish reliable adyfces
to the effect that the Utah 4 Northern
r. R. Co. has determined to resume
work Immediately ON their railroad from
Dillon to Helena, via Jefferson canyon,
of standard guauge. The advices also
state that the surveyors are already in
the field and the entire road, distance
of l07 miles, is to be finished before
spring. This is the route that was sur
veyed and work abandoned, when the
road was pushed to Butte and Garrison.
This is move that Bozeman cannot but
contemplate with pleasurable anticipa-
ton, as it surely means that the road
will be extended to this city. Indeed it
is already automatically announced that
the branch to Bozeman. via Red Bluff
will be completed as soon as the one to
Helena. The Union and Northern Pa
cific, it is reported, broke the pool that
has heretofore bound them together,
and lively war can reasonably be anti
clpated from this time forward, unless
by some mutually satisfactory adjust
ment of affairs, they agree to remain in
the territory they now occupy. There
seems now To be no doubt but that the
Union Pacific are anxious to obtain the
output Of their coal mines near Bore.
man, which it is now impossible to do
with profit over any but their own line
of road. This same road is not blind TO
the advantages they would derive from
rail connection with the mines of Red
Bluff, the agricultural products OF the
largest and Most fertile valley Of Monta-
ma. 1t is therefore almost certain that
Bozeman is to have another railroad,
unless the reads come to an early agree
ment, which is hardly possible, while
the merchants Of st. Paul and Minnea-
polls clamoT for rail connection to |
Butte, which they will continue TO do
until they get it. The Union Fa,iic |
have always expressed a
warm feeling for Bczeman, and when we
review their actions hereabouts for the
past two years it can be readily seen

FIRE INSURANCE.
-

the excellent FIRE apparatus and adequate
means Of extinguishi9g fires, it was
argued that after fire engine had been
secured, cisterns dug and an efficient fire
company organized the exhorbitant fire
insurance rate wohld bel about one half
of what it was. Nav that We have fire
department second to none in the terri
tory, the observant citizens cannot but
notice failure upon the part Of inslr-
ance companies to lower their rates a
shadow. In fact the rate is higher if
possible than that paid three years ago.
when the city was provided with only
bucket brigade. Bogeman with her
brick blocks and metropolitan fire pro-
lection pays the same high rate of in
surance that is placed upon the finder
shacks of a hastily built mining camp
This is wrong, and if there is a remedy
1t should be applied at once. With the
levy Of a heavy city tax TO purchase
needful fire apparatus and an insurance
rate that is outrageously high and in
creasing instead Of decreasing, we do
not wonder that our PEOPLE grumble
There has been very Jew losses by fire
in Bozeman, and with our present facili-
ties there is no reason to believe that we
shall ever be visited by such, widespread
devastation as was last week witnessed
at Livingston there is therefore no real
reason for the exhorbitant present rate
of insurance, and something should be
done tQ lower it instead Of allowing it to
be raised as is contemplated after Jonu-
AIRY first.

many railroads after one is built.
