WATER RIGHTS.

Montana settlers who acquired water
rights under the old laws, or previous to
the meeting Of the last Legislature, do not
lose their rights at all by failure to comply
with the law passed by the last Legislature,
as some persons seem to think. Section
nine Of the new law says: "Persons who
have heretofore acquired rights to the use
Of water shall, within six months after the
publication Of this act, file in the Office of
the recorder of the county in which the
water right is situated. a declaration in
writing, except notice be already given of
record AS required BY this act, the same
facts as required in the notice provided for
record In section six Of this act: such dec
laration shall be verified as required in
section six Of this act, in cases OF notice a.
appropriation OF water. Provided that a
failure to comply with tho requirements of
this section may in nowise work forfeit.

prevent any such claimant from establish.

SILVER GAINING GROUND.

The coinage Of silver is gaining ground.
The silver question is being more favor
ably considered, and before Congress
meets, next month, the friends of silver
will be united and strong enough to pre-.
vent any hostile legislation. Even in the
Merchants Exchange in New York there
are found men to defend it. 1t will come
out all right if the silver men only work
together in real earnest. The banks have
overdone the business. They have
boarded the gold and have refused to kee
enough silver on hand to make cha &c
with. As result they are finding out t at
after all silver Is the natural money of the
masses in their every day small transactions.
1t is growing clearer, too, that Europe has
no more silver to send US, that sudden
call for only few millions would rush
the price up to par. Il we would but alb
sorb our own product that would do the
business, for the rest Of the world cannot
supply Europe with what she requires.
And still we keep supplying England with
the silver which enables her to continually
break down the price Of our product.

METHODIsTs ON MORMON WORK.

The Womens' Home Missionary So
ciety Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
has just closed its session in Philadelphia,
and before closing appropriated $as35 for
work among the Mormcns. The Salt
Lake Democrat says the intention is no
doubt good, but what the result, will he is
hard to say. {; 1t reminds us Of an at.
tempted good! work in another field. II
we remember rightly, some years ago
Lady Barker, in an article in some English
Review,spoke Of missionary work in South
Africa, and said that some society, very
similar to this society, sent out calicoes to
dress the natives in with the hope Of civ.
liking and Christianizing them. On the
Sunday following the arrival Of the goods,
the natives, with a truly fashionable in.
strict came to church with all their calico
dresses on their heads, but their bodies were
clothed as was Adam before he sinned.
We trust that this $3,s3s for Mormon
work will not.be expended in attempting
to civilizc the Mormons by dress.

CONCERNING DIVORCED PEOPLE.

The District Courts of Montana con.
tinue to grind out gris.s of divorces at each
term Of court with dispatch. The referee
system works much on the Chicago plan
Of "divorces obtained cheaply." The ia.
cility with which divorces are obtained in
the Territory suggests the propriety Of put
ting up signs over the different court house
doors In Montana thus-"Divorces grant.
ed easily and secretly" While our courts
are filling the country with divorced PEG.
pie some Of the church organizations are
opening their religious batteries against
this class OF people. The Presbytery Of
Montana, at its last session, adopted res.
olution requesting its members to strictly
observe the directions Of the General As.
sembly of the Presbyterian Church upon
the subject Of marrying divorced people.
The action OF the General Assembly on
this matter reads: "'rhe formation of the
marriage relation is attended with the
gravest responsibility, and nothing but
adultery or such wilful desertion rs can
in no way be resnedied by the church or

POSTAL DEFICIENCIES.

The forthcoming report OF the Post
master General will show that the decrease
in the postal revenues of the country for
the past year is larger than expected.
The law to reduce letter postage from
three to two cents was enacted about two
years ago. For the last three-quarters OF
the first fiscal year, the effect upon the
revenue was inconsiderable. This was at
tributed in large measure to the great
increase in the number Of two cent stamps
that were used to enclose business circu.
lars. 1t had been expected that this in.
crease would continue, so there would not
BE- large reduction in the revenues, but
this expectation has not been realized.
The first complete fiscal year under the
operation of the reduced postage law
closed on the goth Of last June. II was
not good business year. 1t had been
supposed that the deficiency would not
be more than 100000, but on the con.
trary it will be about $7,oooyooo. These
figures are not to be taken as accurate, as
It is the Presidents wish that the Bureau
reports shall not be given to the public in
advance Of his message, which makes it

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

Inc report Oh the Orand Jufv OF BEAVER
head County, published in last weeks is.
sue, is an able paper, and it is document
Of special interest to the people of this
county. The jury was composed Of rep.
resentative men who largely represented
the heaviest tax.paying interests in our
county, and hence recommendations emen.
ating from such body Of gentlemen should
have great weight, and be earnestly and
carefully considered. The members OF the
Grand Jury, fresh from the people, are sup
posed to reflect public sentiment and rec.
ommend such matters as the interests and
welfare Of the people demand. In its rec.
concentrations the action of the Grand
Jury can not be construed as partaking of
local or sectional significance, for the jury.
men were selected from and represented
all parts Of our county. Such body Of
men could not deliberately urge any mat.
ter that would be hurtful to the people at
large. The urgency Of speedily providing
a secure Jail and a commodious and com.
Portable Court House was SO apparent that
the Grand Jury strongly recommended that
the Board Of County Commissioners sub.
NIT the question Of erecting such struc.
ture to the qualified electors Of Beaverhead
County at as early day as possible. That
this timely recommendation will be duly
needed by the honorable Board Of Com.
mi IN
We need respectable Court House and
a safe and secure County Jail. Opposition
to the proposed county improvements will
he feeble. Sooner or later such
an edifice will have to be erected-and the
sooner the better. The excellent financial
condition Of the county justifies the build
ing of such an edifce at as early day as
practicable. A light county debt now ex.
lists. 1t is reasonable to predict that before
a new Court House is finished and ready
for occupancy that our present county in.
debtedness will be about ohliterated, and so
no burden Of heavy taxation will be impo.
sed on the taxpayers in consequence Of its
attention Of the Board Of Commissioners
at the next regular meeting.
The Grand Jury did something toward
the growing social evil through.
out the county by recommending that the
Council Of Dillon pass an ordinance de.
claring houses Of ill.repute nuisances and
providing for their removal and abatement.
The jurors, mindful Of the ties of respect.
ability and acting As conservators Of de.
cency, went further BY calling upon all
good and law.loving citizens in every town
and district throughout the county to place
their condemnation upon this growing and
defiant evil. Such model and moral sug.
gestion must meet with the approval Of all
good people.
