The Size OF It.

The Tucson, Arizona, Star editori-
ally says: The plan 10 enlist 'front.'
iersmen to fight hostile Indians, goes
right to the core Of the Indian busi-
ness. AS the matter now stands the
average enlisted soldier is not the man
for the business: many of them are
enlisted without any knowledge of
firearms, horse riding or frontier life
in short the raw recruit is stran-
ger to the horse and the carbine,
which are placed in his hands. In
fact all are strangers to each other,
and the horse is strange to the
frontier country This is the materl-
al with which we fight Indians, who
are expert shots, expert riders, and on
familiar terms with their horses, RI
hes and the country they depredate
The contest is unequal; put frontiers
men on their trail and their will be
equality in the struggle.

Among the Montana bills now be-
fore congress is one to provide for the
establishment of land office at Fort
Benton-a right which the people of
Northern Montana have long claimed.
The territory is very unsatisfactory
divided into land districts. The
Miles City and Bozeman districts are
of reasonable and convenient size.
The Helena district comprises Beav
erhead, Silver Bow, Deer Lodge, JET
ferson, Missonla, Lewis and Clarke,
Meagher and Choteau counties and
parts Of Madison and Gallatln. 1t

To reach the land office from the

The State of Texas, having plenty
Of land, gave to the school fund, uni
versity fund and others as large en-
pires as they could wish. In doing
50 it adopted the apparently simple
plan Of granting alternate sections OF
land to its benefciaries. As it neg
lected, however, to have its land sur
veyed, it is easy to see that, among
its honest settlers, squatters. cattle
kings, land sharks and frontiersmen,
confusion of title was to be expected.
The State had two courses open to it.
One was in granting land to leave
the choice Of locality to the grantees,
only limiting them to certain num-
Der of acres. The second was the
course adopted by the general gov
ernment Of having the land surveyed
before giving title, with rights Of
preference to the SCATTER. Neither of
these has been followed, with the re-
suit of a general confusion Of titles
on the frontier, and the probability of
no small portion of Texas being in
hot water for some time to come.
