Severe criticism is passed upon Gen. Camp

views, at his turning mis- address before the
G. A. R., at Miller on Decoration day, into
political harangue in favor of his independent
state hobby. He poured his invective upon
the leading Democrats in congress. and did
himself and his cause no good. If there was
ever any chance for the recognition of the
Huron state, the general and his co-workers
have etfectually demolished it. The Hill

The Bill to Regulate the Taxing of
Railway Lands.

The Bill to Regulate the Taxing of
Railway Lands.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE remedy
for the evils which were sought to be rene
died in what is known as the Trail county
tax case. recently decided by the supreme
court adversely to the taxing powers and in
favor of the Northern Pacific railroad in
Dakota, will certainly become a law this
session. The status of the bill at present
is that the house passed a measure applica-
BILE only to the Union Pacific, requiring
that road to pay the survey fees upon which
the lien of the United States upon the
land rests, within reasonable time after
the sale of the land to third parties, and
providing that the United States district
attorney should bring suit for the amount
of the fees in case default was made. This
bill, when it reached the senate, was
amended so as to make it applicable to all
land grant roads, and it has been sent back
to the house. The house called for con-
ference committee, and the conferees on
the part of the house have decided to ac-
cept the senate amendment Some slight
amendments may be made in the
phraseology of the bill, but
when there is any chance for its success it
will be called up and promptly passed. The
sentiment of both branches of congress is
strongly in favor of its passage. The senate
amendment is word for word the same bill
introduced by both Judge Clifford of Da-
kota and Col. Toole of Montana in the
house. The bill as passed by the senate
provides that no land grant to any railroad
corporation by congress shall be exempt
from taxation by states, territories or other
municipal corporations because of liens to
the general government for the cost of sur
veying, or because no patent has been
issued for the land. 1t will follow, there
fore, that when lands have been surveyed
and are sold under contract by railroads
they may be taxed, although the title is
not passed and no patent has been issued
for them. The effect of this bill, unless it
shall be declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court, will be to prevent an i'm
mense amount of injury done to the North
west along the railroad land grants by
spectators who have bought up immense
tracts of country and are holding them for
an advance in value.

The Property to BE Condemned for

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE finest
property in the block which it has been de-
cided to condemn as site for the congress
sional library belongs to N. G. Ordway,
late governor of Dakota. 1t is on the
northwest corner of the block, fronting the
capitol, and has an especially fine view over
the capitol grounds, down over the city, in
Guiding Arlington and the far-away sweep
of the Potomac river. Gov. Ordway has
always put high value upon his property,
which he bought some years ago when
prices were low, and does not look with
complacency upon the present effort to take
it from him. He little suspected when he
bought it that 1t would ever be required for
government purposes and has always
looked upon it as an available site for a fine
residence for public man. He himself

imperfect grading of the street past his
property. He claims that the street was
put upon an unnecessarily low grade, which

MONTANs
Interesting Facts and Figures from
the Recon Annual Report of the
Governor of the Territory to the
Secretary OF the Interior.


Governor of the Territory to the
Secretary OF the Interior.
S. T. Hauser, Governor Of Montana Ter
ritory. in his annual report to the Secre-
tsry of the Interior, concerning the con.
dition and progress Of Montana during
the past year, says: agriculture has
been almost q failure-certsinly no. over
half a crop having been raised. A long
continued drought, lasting for three
months, and the fact that the fall Of snow
last Winter was less than half the usual
amount, resulted in the drying up Of many
OF the streams. 1t has been difficult,
therefore, to procure necessary water for
irrigation. without which it is impossible
to raise crops in this Territory. The great
portion of our many valleys along the
larger streams and rivers will not be util-
lied for agricultural purposes until there
has been a proper system Of irrigation
canals built. Irrigsting canals, however.
are expensive and their construction will
be greatly retarded, if not definitely post
poned. If the Desert Act is repealed. But
the most serious of sl losses, the full ex-
tent Of which it is impossible as yet to
estimate, says the report, is that OF
our natural grasses, the sole depend
ence for the vast herds of cattle, horses
and sheep and other stock, both Winter

urgent importance that | would urge upon

Senator sherman's Mig Dollar.


The present silver dollar, II seems. Is
not big enough to suit Senator Sherman.
He wants ID made bigger by one-third-
big enough, in fact, to be as mere metal
worth as much as q gold dollar. This is
not for the purpose of making II more
useful as q coin. In fact, he says himself
that il would be less useful than the pres
emit dollars. Why, then. does he var it
made bigger
AS near as we can find ont, Senator
Sherman wants the silver dollar made
bigger for the purpose Of maintaining
the supremacy OF the gold dollar as
a standard OF value. He wants to fix
things so that the prevailing era OF
low prices for staple commodities shall
continue TO prevail forever. He disregards
the fact that the silver dollar is now just
as big and in%trinsically just as valuable.
measured by every product Of human
labor except gold. as II has been for a
hundred years, and he fixes his eyes ex.
clusively upon its intrinsic value measured
In gold.
Senator Sherman's idea will be popular
with the citizens OF the Eastern States who
profit by low prices, but it will not suit SO
we'll the farmers and producers OF the West
and South, who, under the dominion OF
the gold standard. are getting less and
less money every year for the product of
their labor. And, as the West and South
have the most votes in Congress, their
ideas are likely to prevail over those Of
Senator Sherman and other gold idolaters.
