WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Apr, 9th, 1885
The stars and stripes no longer
wave over the north wing OF the Cap
itol, The Senate has adjourned, but
many Senators with their families lin
ger in Washington and enjoy the
beautiful spring weather which came
promptly on the first day OF April
The oroeuses are in bloom in the
parks The shade trees are putting
forth their leaves, and the detestable
English sparrows are as numerous
and AZ nasty as ever, in spite OF the
systematic and desultory efforts that
have been made TO exterminate them.
Fashionable Washington is on wheels,
or il the saddle, and Questionable
Washington too. Old fashioned pc
destrianism is in danger Of becoming
lost art. The miles Of concrete
pavement furnish such skating
rink as no other city can afford, and
children Of all ages, shades, colors
and conditions, live on roller skates
from early morning to late at night.
Then there are cycles, bicycles. tricy-
cles, and quadracycles, to say moth
ing of the old fashioned vehicles that
have horses for motive power. This
is indeed a peculiar city, and every
succeeding year seems to draw more
sharply the contrast between the
pleasure loving, easy going Capital,
and the great commercial and manu-
featuring marts of the New World.
1t is expected that Washington,
notwithstanding the absence of Con-
gress, will continue to be the center
of political interest during the sum-
mer. The president and his cabinet
do not expect to 60 on trip to the
Yellowstone, or to Long Branch, nor
will they cruise along the Atlantic
coast in a government vessel. They
will remain in the District of Colum-
bia, giving close and personal atten-
ton to their several departments, and
setting an example to the thousands
of clerks who have been in the habit
of absenting themselves during the
summer, to the great and serious det-
riment of the public business. There
is a great deal to be done in all the
Departments before they can be re-
duced to their original purpose of Of
fees for the transaction of the bust
ness of the great nation. This work
has been planned, it has been under
taken, but it cannot be successfully
consummated without the strictest SUI
pervision of responsible heads. I do
not think it can be done without a
corps of subordinates in accord with
the principles and purposes of the
administration. A very large number
of the idle, useless, obstructive par
asites in the government Offices must
be, will be cast out Civil service re-
form will become a byword and a
kissing unless this is done.
That the president was wise in not
too much IN the way of
of his appointments by
the Republican Senate the sequel has
proved, The Senate adjourned leav-
ing score of the ITO whom he had
unconfrmed. The signif-
icance of this neglect is apparent.

GRAND JURY WORK.

In the last year or two grand jury in
vestigation in Montana has taken new
| trend, and a good one. Instead of de-
voting attention solely to inquiring into
violations of the law by private citizens,
an investigation of county affairs, a
scrutiny of the acts of county officials,
has become to be regarded as the para
mount duty Of a grand jury. The re-
suits thus far have fully justified the
wisdom of this course. We all know
the benefi that followed such action in
Custer county and more recently in
Lewis and Clarke county. At the late
term of court in Meagher county the
grand jury, under the guidance of District
Attorney Hunt, made thorough in yes
tigation of county affairs. commencing
and condemning officials, as the facts
warranted. The report of the jury, by
order of the court, will be published in
all the papers Of the county for the edi
fication of the people, The affairs of
the county in general are found to be in
excellent condition. The board of COM
missioners was commended for its econ
omy and good judgment in expending
the money Of the county; not a stain
could be found upon the escutcheon Of
Judge Rotwitt, the efficient clerk and
recorder; the new treasurer and probate
judge are commended for zeal in the
performance Of their duties; justices of
the peace in outlying districts are scored
severely for putting the county to great
cost i'll frivolous cases. It was found
there is about 500 900 due the county on
delinquent taxes, and the treasurer was
instructed to take steps to collect the
same according to law The investiga-
ton, although it has revealed nothing
crooked, y will be of muca benefit to the
county. AS long as grand juries keep
up this close scrutiny we are certain to
have better county administration.
The Choteau county grand jury meets
next week, and we trust it will go into
this county business with the same zeal
that the good men and true" of Lewis
and Clarke and Meagher have displayed.
There has been lack of good judgment
and business sense in the management
of the affairs of this county for some
time, and if possible halt should be
called.

TERRORIST M.

The Townsend Tranchant last week
contained scathing criticism of Judge
Wade's action in delaying his trip to
White Sulphur Springs to hold court on
account of report that he would be
captured or killed on the range by a por-
ton of the Edmonson gang still at large,
and his refusal to make the Journey
without the attendance of sheriff's
posse. From this point of view the
matter has certainly a most ridiculous
aspect, and if the judicial terror was
awakened by idle reports simply the
Tranchant would be fully justified in
its remarks. We learn from reliable
authority that the plot to waylay
the judge was revealed by John O'Neill
and that it was generally believed il
Helena; that Judge Wade was advised
by friends, by the bar association, by
Gen. Ruger and others not to make the
trip without protection, and that he
could hardly refuse to abide by the gen
eral wish for his safety.
1t seems to us that any information

A RECENT enactment of congress
makes it unlawful for any person, party,
association or corporation to inclose any
public land in any state or territory of
the United States, to.any of which land
included within the inclosure the per-
son, party, association, or corporation
making or controlling the inclosure had
no claim or color oftitle, made or acquir-
ed in good faith, or an asserted right
thereto by or under claim, made in good
faith, with view to entry thereto at the
proper land office under the general
laws of the United States at the time any
such inclosure was or shall be made.
Such enclosures are declared to be un-
lawful, and the maintenance, erection.
construction, or control Of any such en-
closure is forbidden and prohibited; and
the assertion of right to the exclusive
use and occupancy of any part of the
public lands of the United States in any
state or any of the territories of the
United States, without claim or color OF
title, or asserted right as above specified
as to inclosure, is likewise declared un-
lawful, and prohibited. The act pro-
vides for the prosecution of parties
maintaining such enclosures by action
against them in the name of the United
States, as plaintiff, and makes various
other provisions for the enforcement Of
this law.

vouchsafed by John O'Neill-who has
been the head and front of this gang OF
desperadoes and afterwards played the
despicable role of informer-ought to be
taken with very much allowance. He
has since, we learn, skipped the country

The queerest part of the whole busi-
ness is that the citizens of Helena and
vicinity should be terrorized by four or
five men and that no effort is made to
capture and punish the offenders, whose
headquarters is known, and within less
than days ride from the capital city.
The officers of Lewis and Clarke county
seem to be in absolute terror of these
men. We venture to say that the Off
GERS of Choteau county would not be
long about having them in limbo.
Choteau is on the "border" and although
it is as big as an ordinary state there has
never been any terrorism of that kind
here, and is not likely to be very soon.
Helena ought to wipe out this stain up
on her escutcheon by cleaning out this

TEE startling reports which are reach
ing us from the little hamlet of Calgary
on Bow river, that the American In
dians are crossing the line to take part
in the Riel rumpus, will be news to near
~ all of the people Of northern Montana.
The only foundation for such rumor is
that few Peigans have left the agency,
and it is not known where they have
gone. 1t is also stated that the Gros
Ventres have gone over. This we know
to be untrue; they are at or near their
agency tilling the virgin soil; they have
turned their old flint lock fukes into
plowshares; in fact the millennium has
come for the Gros Ventres and Assina-
BONES. There will not be American In
dians enough who cross the line to con-
stitute corporal'sguard for Riel

A CHANGE has come over the scene in
the matter of territorial appointments,
as would appear by recent advices from
Washington. A deputation of repre-
sentative territorial democrats waited
upon the president on the 18th and
urged him at his earliest convenience to
look into the political and administra-
tive condition Of the territories. 1t was
represented that they are not well gov
erned and that good men-citizens Of
the respective territories should be ap-
pointed to the several Offices. The pres
ident took the matter under advisement
but failed to offer anything very en-
couraging. It is now said by interested
democrats that the rule of choosing gov
ernors from the territories will be strictly
adhered to- but in the selection of Judi
cial, customs and land office appoint
ments the field will be the whole United
States. For such positions citizens of
the states as we'll as the territories will
br eligible, and it is pretty safe to say
the states will get the lions share Of the
spoils. This is not in accordance with
the democratic platform, but the pres
sure for office is so great that it is pretty
certain to be the rule adopted by the
administration.
