APRoPos of Sparks and his idiotic rules,
the st. Paul Pioneer-Press says that Ibis
one aim in this direction is to cater to a
prejudice which he imagines to exist against
railroad corporations as a class, and to
force them to a contest in order to affirm
the simplest principles OF their rights"
And that excellent journal continues:
THE same disposition has been shown
in his action with reference to the Mon.
tana Improvement Company. That, ii not
a railroad company, is a corporation, hav-
ing, in Mr.. Sparks imagination, very init
mate and secret relations with a rail-
road. He therefore proceeded to assail it
in public and in private, filled the papers
with accounts OF mythical depredations, and
endeavcred to draw bothit and it's supposed
ally, the Northern Pacific, within the lines
OF an indictment for violation OF the laws.
The interests OF a great territory did not
deter Mr.. Sparks in this crusade, just as the
ruin of a magnificent railway property and
the consequent destruction OF the interests
of millions in the Northwest would concern
him nothing provided he could overthrow
UQe NOFUuSFu Z dClllC. 41C 10 UCAV OAIy uPOA
making a stir and assailing a corporation.
But he has not been content with making a
.iool OF himselfin this particular direction. A
great company, when assailed, has means
of self-defense. Mr.. Sparks has directed
the whole power of the Government against
the settler, who is unequal to such a con-
test. His famous order, which stands un-
repealed and whose hardships are only be-
ginning to be felt in full force, %forbidding the
granting OF clear titles to settlers until each
case has been examined and passed upon
by a special agent of the Government, is
simply infamous" In conclusion the
Pioneer-Press pays it's compliments to Mr..
Commissioner Sparks, to which we and the
people of Montana give a hearty amen:
"Mr. Sparks is the only official who, in re-
cent times, has attempted to despoil all
parties with an equal hand. He is notori-
ous1Y incompetent for the place he holds.
He Is an injury to the administration and
a curse and blight to the immense interests
involved in the conduct OF the land Office.
No act OF Mr.. Cleveland would command
such appreciation from men OF both
| parties as the summary decapitation OF
| the oficious, ignorant and maliciously
| active Mr.. Sparks"

Upon the subject Of county auditors the
Livingston Enterprise, one OF the best
edited papers OF the Territory says: "Some
OF our Montana contemporaries have be-
gun to recognize the necessity for a county
officer to exercise the duties OF an auditor.
Last winter before the Legislature met the
ENTERPRISE advised the institution OF a
county auditors office, but the advice was
disregarded-perhaps because the Enter
prise was published at a town that aspired
to a county seat. We now repeat the sug-
~gestion, the advice. It is unutterable non
sense to expect a board Of county commits
sioners whose period OF meetings. narrowly
limited tt closely audit every one OF the
voluminous accounts presented for it's con-
sideration and allowance. As a matter oil
fact Montana will ultimately recognize
that our system of county government
needs radical revision. When we get a
Legislature that knows something besides
cattle brands, water rights. bounties on
wild animals, and subjects OF that kindred,
We may expect the enactment Of some
necessary amendments to our cods.".

The old veterans Of the war resident in
Butte have determined to give a ball, and
they havc taken a new departure in such
matters. All the more important com.

the directors and floor managers have been
selected from among the young society men
OF the city. By this act two important
ends are accomplished-gentlemen who are
thoroughly familiar with SUCH matters are
secured to direct the dance, and a new ele-

THE spectacle OF a great nation like Eng
land moving on 81 pigmy Power like Bur-
NAH, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
is about as ludicrous as that presented
when the Briton vent after the Ashantees
Or the Zulus. It is all very well for England
to dignity such proceedings with the a me
OF war, but it would be as senseless to call
an encounter between a man and a five
year-old boy a fight. England will take King
Theebaw over her knee, metaphorically.
and give him a good spanking. 1t will end
in the misguided monarch giving up a
liberal slice of his Territory to England and
granting her favorable trade terms in the
rest OF his Territory.

GENERAL SHERIDAN, in his annual report,
says the Indians are the richest people in
this country, considered as communities.
He recommends that the Indians be given
lands in seyeralty, not exceeding 32O acres
to a family, and condemn the rest OF the
reservations, buy it in at $1.25 per acre
and invest the proceeds in government
bonds for the benefit OF the Indians. The
scheme appears to be a practicable one
and is not unlike that suggested by Gov
ernor Hauser in his annual report.

REL was yesterday executed in accord
ance with the mandate of the law. He did
not act in the least like a crazy man, but
died like a soldier. We are not of th )se

could scarcely lave lone anything else and
not have stuffed herself. It will be some
satisfaction to Riel's friends that at the
last he acted like q man.

BY the hour that many OF the readers OF
TIE MINER find time to read these columns,
Riel, the Northwest rebel, will in all proba-
bility have paid the extreme penalty pro-
nounced upon him by the courts, after a
fair and impartial trial. We must
confess that we fail to see any reason for
the sympathy that SO many of our con-
temporaries profess to have for Riel. He
raised an armed rebellion against the
country in which he lived. He is an intelli-
gent man, and must have realized what the
consequences of such an act would be. For
a similar offense the Government OF Great
Britain once forgave him. His death is on
his own head. We do not take much stock
in his patriotism, religious fanaticisn'
or lunacy. We believe that he
was a perfectly sane man, fond oinotoriety
and too ambitious. He has been con
demned in due form OF law, upon a fair
trial. His execution is in conformity with
the established custom of Great Britain
when dealing with men who revolt against
her authority. We fail to see in this exc
cution anything OF persecution or hatred
on the part Of the Government. That
Riel's friends and fellow countrymen should
feel badly about his end is only natural,
but we fail to see how they can justly find
fault with the Government. The unsuccess-
full revolutionist is a Rebel: the successful
one a patriot. Riel failed and he will to-
day in all probability pay the penalty.

young Webster, for his arrest means the
penitentiary. 1t is the memorable policy of

employees who are found to be dishonest.
This policy is not adopted so much as a
punishment for the guilty as a warning to
the other employcs-which constitute a
little army.
