NORTHWESTERN MUTATIONS.

s. T. Hauser, one of the bonanza kings OF
Montana, was in st. Paul Yesterday en- route
home from Washington and New York,
where he had been for several weeks. He
said the occasion of Cleveland's inaugural
was a great day in Washington, and the
promise of the new administration is all that
could be desired for the business prosperity
of the country. Wise conservatism had so
far characterized all administrative action,
and this spirit permeated the various de-
partments. The policy of the new admins
tration to make all of the territorial appoint
ments from the territories will give great sat-
isfaction in Montana, which had suffered in
the past from the pursuance of the opposite
line of policy. Magin mis-, he thinks, will be the
next governor of that territory. Mr.. McCor-
mack of Missoua, who had been mentioned
in the dispatches as a candidate, really never
was a candidate. As to the future of the
mountain territory Mr. Hauser was enthusi-
astic. 1t was already the leading mineral
producing territory in the country, and its
live stock production was unexcelled by
either states or territories, and yet all of
these great industries are but in the incipi-
ent stages of their development.

The Pettigrew-Gam BILE com bination having
been broken in Dakota and the probability of
admission as an undivided territory having
been greatly strengthened thereby, the ques
ton of who shall represent the territory when
it shall have been admitted as state is agi-
tating the political mind in that section of
the country. 1t is generally conceded that
the Hon. Judson La Moure of Pembina Will
come to the front from the North. In the
meantime Pettigrew and Gamble may let
some third party amble away with the prize
while they engage in a general scramb BILE for
this apple of dscord. At least that is the
kind of talk that is heard among Dakota pill
grlms who congregate in the lobbies of the
Merchants hotel.
d. s. Benepe, a prominent agricultural
implement dealer of Bozeman, Mont, is
here for the first time laying in a stock of the
products of our manufacture. He has here
tofore bought his goods in the East 1t is
but another indication that the tide of trade
from the West has been turned by
the Northern Pacific from the East
to the new trade center of the Northwest. 1t
has been but few years since a Montana
merchant was rarity in St. Paul. Now
they come here by the hundreds. Even re-
mote Deadwood is now in direct communi-
cation with st. Paul via Medora and the
Northern Pacific. This only proves what
great factor in the upouildihg of a trade
center railroad really is, especially grand
transcontinental line. This is the talk of
the hotels and the streets.

THE grass is green in the Galatin val
ley" said prominent Montana stockman
last night ''And the cattle and sheep and
horses, which never wintered better, are
already getting sleek and fat. The snow has
disappeared from the foot hills, and the
children Of the ranchmen are reVeling in
the dust and gathering flowers along the
roadside, even away up on the mountains.
The chill air here in st. Paul makes a Mon
tana man yearn for his buffalo coat"

'Those kilograms about the removal Of
Judge Edgerton," remarked a wel-known
Dakota politician, ''are gotten up for political
effect and are wholly without foundation in
fact. Judge Edgerton has been con-
scientious judicial officer, bringing to the dis
charge of his duties fine legal knowledge and
a fair and unprecedented mind, and many of
his best friends aud most ardent admirers
are Democrats. The Democrats of the terri
tory would have the judicial Office held
higher than the political plane. Cleveland's
conservative course In making changes only
for cause places Judge Edgerton above the
probability of removal from personal or
political considerations and il meets with
the cordial approval of Democrats who have
the hes: interests of the territory and the
party at heart. This view met with the
hearty Endorsement of several Dakotans to
whom the kilograms were read yesterday"
