Destructive Animal. of Montana.

Destructive Animals OF Montana
An increasing scourge of ranges is wild
animals-wolves, coyotes, and mountain
lions. The herds of buffalo and ante
lope that these carnivorous beasts used
to follow and subsist upon are gone
the buffalo completely, the antelope
nearly. The wolves have turned their
attention to domestic cattle, and are
working much havoc. The calf, which
the mother forsakes to seek water, is
seized upon by the sneaking coyote.
The weakened COW or calf that drops
behind the herd in winter or summer is
promptly hamstrung and throtted by
the watchful pack OF wolves. and when
they are particularly hungry they break
into herd and seize anything that can
not escape them.
Last winter the growing extent of this
plague was recogni ed. Some of the
cattlemen offered bounties for wolf and
coyote scalps, Others had their cow
Toys put out poisoned bait. This winter
a more general movement has been or.
ganized. Money has been subscribed
by different round ups to bait wolves on
the ranges. In other localities very lib
eral bounties are being offered by stock
men-sl each for wolf scalps, and so
cents for those of the less noxious coy
ote. These premiums are in addi-
ton to the government bounties Of
half those sums. Wolf-hunters
now have an outlook that must
remind them Of the early days
when their bats extended from the
Missouri to the Big Horn mountains
and when hundreds of men were en-
gagged in that perilous means of obtain
ing livelihood. -Montana Cor. Chicago

Wednesday, February a., 1886.

THE old Indian who declared that
he wanted cannon to kill COW boys,
but for soldiers would be content with
q good stout club, will now tremble in
his moccasins when the intelligence
reaches him that bill has been favor
ably reported for the equipment of
two cow boy regiments to fight the
Apaches of Arizona and New Mexico.
Without any disparagement to the
courage of either officers or men of the
regular army, this seems to be the
wisest and most practical method of
dealing with the problem of Indian
fighting. From the cumbrous nature
Of their equipment, it is unfair to ex-
pect soldiers even with Spartan brav-
cry In their makeup, to compete sue
cessfully with an opposing force, al
most entirely unincumbered and per-
fectly acquainted with every canon
and defile, which to the unaccustomed
regulars are so many offshoots of a
deadly labyrinthian maze. The COW
boys, on the other hand, Are nearly as
familiar with the country as the In
dian themselves. They regard the
savages as their natural enemies. and
will take considerable personal salts
faction in hunting them out of their
strongholds. Well versed in the In
dian methods of warfare, accustomed
to travelling great distances with the
minimum Of impendimenta, they will
meet the foe on equal terms and the
result can easily be foreseen. If the
Apaches have among their number a
medicine man of even ordinary wis
dom they will be advised to surrender

sussia's TrAnsportatisa - OslninaAs.
The Russian Admiral Possiet, who
has travelled great deal in Siberia, has
published q pamphlet on the system of
Transportation of criminals in Russia.
He thinks the time has arrived when the
practice of colonizing Siberia should
cease. siberia is no longer, " he says
the same country it was when it became
convict settlement. At that time it
did not extend beyond Kamtschatka.
But now that Russia, by the acquisition
of the Amoor district, has extended her
frontier to the Sea of Okhotsk, which is
being gradually converted into a second
Mediterranean, and that China and
Japan are waking out of their sleep of
centuries, it is time to relieve Siberia OF
the humiliating stigma of convict set
Element and to place it in position
more suited to the development of its
resources. The criminals during the
last two centuries exercise a ruinous
influence on the population.
The purpose Of the transportation is
twofold; it aims both at the punishment
and at the reform of the criminal. The
penal object is fulfilled; the punishment
of forced labor in Siberia is most Sc
we're. But so long as the present sys-
tenn continues there can be no moral re-
form, 1t is proverb il Siberia that
forced labor is the school Of corrup-
tom" and the convicts themselves say
that the journey from European Russia
is far more terrible than the forced la
Dor imposed upon them when they
reach their destination. The eonvicts
are mostly employed in gold washing,
the silver mines having been almost en-.
tirely abandoned. Admiral Possiet
visited the gold washers of Cst Kari,
to which 1000 convicts had been sent.
Two hundred of these were i'll in the
hospital from scurvy. 800 had fled, and
the rest worked indolently and care.

A Dog Fight.

Something of a genuine dog fight came
of this morning on SOledad street, near
the courthouse. A countryman had
large, blackish, old canine following him,
and was much attached to his faithful
dog. Perhaps 1t might have been Old
Tray or one OF his kin dogs. Other large
ours, angered by the intrusion OF a
stranger who, as they held, had no busi-
ness to be on their grounds, pitched with
vim and fierceness into the peaceable
and rather decayed old TRAY" and were
furious to high degree, using their
teeth in torturing earnest. A little flee
cur or two, seeing which was the stronger
side, didn't hesitate to bounce right on
against the party that was under. By
ISLANDERS stood aghast. some enjoying the
dOggish set-tO as If it were line sport,
and some wishing to see whereuntO it
would grow. The owner was afraid to
be teO demOnstrative. lest the big guns,
or rather dogs, might turn rot their
guns but their biting teeth on his own
precious corporal system. lie would
90 a little nearer and then stand and
look, and hope to see the row ended, but
did nothing. The whole affair looked so
much like fights and rumpuses among
higher order OF beings that it almost
struck us that it WAS meant as bur
lesQue of practical satire.

GDADsToNE's speech on his Irish bill on
last Monday night was plain, practical
and direct. Disowning all intention Of
any action Incompatible with imperial
unity, he declared that the main object
Of his bill was to abolish, root and
branch, the discomfort prevailing in Ire
land, and to restore 1t to social order by
the removal not merely of the symptoms
but Of the cause Of discomfort. The
speech was enthusiastically received.
After Hartington's reply and his motion
that the bill be read again six months
hence, the debate was adjourned until
Thursday. The question Of the restora-
tion of Ireland to her autonomy as a ma
ton is once more before the Commons of
Great Britain. Its fate will be deter
mined in few days.

WEDNESDAY, MAY IL, 1886.
BRETHREN IN UNITY.

The Methodist Episcopal Church
South, now in General Conference, AS
sembled at Baltimore, has taken a most
important step and one that cannot be
too strongly commended. The action
proposed by them, If cOnsummated, will
close one of the sectional gaps by which
North and South are kept divided, and
act an example Of Christian fellowship
and unity that cannot be too speedily
followed by their brethren in the Pres
byterian church. While few hot heads
have been firing into Foraker for his ut
terances on the Montgomery slOp-over,
the bulk of the General Conference have
been engaged in very different work, as
will appear from the accompanying res
olutiOn introduced last Monday by DR..
Chapman Of Missouri, and after length
ened discussion, referred to a commit
tee of one from each annual conference:
Resolved, That this General Confer
ence shall select committee Of seven,
four of whom shall be clerical and three
Law delegates, who shall meet a like
committee from the Northern Metho-
dist Episcopal church in 1883, in looking
to a reunion Of the two churches.
The resolutions, OF which the above is
only part, set forth the sin and folly of
two methodist churches having COM
mon history, and common ground Of
faith, occupying the same terri, DRY and
attempting to do the same work.
This action of the General Conference
will be warmly endorsed by every one
who is at all familiar with the history of
the division of this church into its North
and South branches. No one cause
tended so much to widen the breach be-
tween the Northern and Southern sec
tions of this republic prior to 1860 as the
animosiries existing between the Meth
odist church North and the Methodist
church South. The infammatory
speeches made and the strife stirring
articles written were as bitter and as
sectional as those OF any Of the hostile
political parties. This bitterness has
largely died out since the war, but the
division remains, and the dividing lines
still remain. The present movement to
restore the ancient unity in name and
make the church in America one in
name, one in work, and one in interest,
will have its effect as nothing else will in
destroying prejudices still existing and
removing every last barrier that section
alism has reared between the two great
sections of this country. While the re-
ligious world halls the attempt as tri-
umph Of Christian spirit and principle,
the political sense of the nation will ac-
cept 1t as afiording proof of growing
political oneness among the people.
