The Pioneer Press has had an inter
view with Mr.. T. G. Power, one of the
leading Republicans OF Montana, which
voices the sentiments of the people
when he says that the nomination Of
Mr.. Hauser win meet with general APP
prevail and denies the existence of any
compact between political leaders to
bring about such result. When it be-
came known that either Mr.. Hauser or
Mai. Maginnis would receive the honor,
it was but natural that each should have
his champions. Two such distinguished
democrats would, as a matter of course,
marshal their friends to their assistance,
but it does not necessarily follow that
the champions of the defeated candidate
would be disgruntled and would fly the
track in future campaigns We have al
ways been friendly to MAJ Maginnis
have admired his course as delegate gen.
orally, and believe that he will be the
last to foment any discord on that &C
count; he would be very unanimously
endorsed by the people of Montana for
an honorable and lucrative position un-
der the government, and we have vet to
find friend of blaj. Maginnls who has
any intention of kicking in the traces
because he has not been nominated for
governor. On the contrary the demo
cratic party breathes free because the
question has been settled and that a
Montanian Of such prominence and abil-
ity has been made governor. All the
efforts of our opponents to breed discord
will prove futile. 1t is to be remarked
in this connection that Mr.. Hauser has
received the congratulations of many
leading republicans, who see in his APP
pointment fit recognition of distin-
guished services, and the fultillment Of
their oft expressed desire that Mon
tanians should fill the Offices in Mon
tana. 1t is to them as to US a dawn of a
new era in the political machinery Of
the territory. Although not state, we
yet feel that We are beginning to have
some rights and that hereafter no played
out politician who has ceased to be Of
service at home, will be sent out to rule
us, and that none but Montanians need
apply

settlements. entry or other appropria-
tions only as information in defining the
limits within which indemnity selec-
tons may be made in proper time and
manner, but is not operative as prohl-
bition of settlements and entries within
such limits under the public land laws
PRIOR to the time when lawful selections
by the railroad company has actually
been made" This decision was brought
out by an inquiry from the receiver OF
the land office at Walla Walla, w. T., as
to whether or not the Northern Pacific
Railway company is entitled to the land
regularly settled uponb one Miller, but
which was by change in the line of the
above mentioned road brought within
it's indemnity limits. In short the COM
missioner does not believe that railroad
companies are entitled to lands in theil
indemnity limits, until they have select
ed them. That the settler who has II
the meanwhile settled upon such lands
can hold them.

The growing grain in the Gallatin
valley is worth trip to see. On every
hand the grain is doing finely, with
very little irrigation. A larger amount
of barley has been sown this year than
every before and presents a fattering
appearance. Smut has worked great
damage with the winter wheat in a few
localities and ground squirrels are de-
vastatingly numerous in others, but not
withstanding these destructive agencies
TIE crop of 1885 will be the largest ever
harvested in the Gallatin. Portions of
Dakota that looked for a very heavy
yield were visited last week with a
severe hailstorm decreasing by many
thousand bushels Dakota's estimated
crop returns. The unusually chilly
wheather of this summer makes many
of our farmers fear the visitation of early
frost.

The expose of rank rottenness IN high
places of London society, made by the
Pail Mall Gazette is indeed horrible,
and might better have never seen the
light of public print. These exposures
in their effect upon the public mind, are
what is known as "obscene literature"
AS an exchange truthfully remarks,
Neither men nor women have ever
been improved by accounts of dirty or
disgraceful lives led by some Of their
outwardly respectable fellows. They
are made pure by hearing about purity,
and not by hearing about filth" There
are people who find it difficult to find a
paper decent enough to be admitted to
their homes. But the majority of the
human race want all the news. no mat
ter how depraved, and the paper that
furnishes it is invariably the gamer, as
witnessed by the immense sales of the
Pail Mall Gazette.

undoubtedly of great interest to the
