The area of the frost extended from
the centre Of Pennsylvania westward
to the centre of Ohio, and from The
lakes on the north to the line OF Mary

western edges les severity was greatly

The early part of the season was ge-

make wonderful progress. Wheat and
rye were in full head, early potatoes

READ AND REFLECT.

A great political canvass is now going
on in the territory of Montana and the
people are to decide at the polls on the
2d of November the great and important
issues involved. This canvass is the
most important, and the issues involved
the most vital tat have entered into
political campaign in the territory of
Montana. The people will therefore
be called upon at the polls to decide
questions of the most vital importance
not only to this great commonwealth,
but of the utmost importance to every.
voter in the territory and every individ-
ual who has a home within its broad
limits 1t therefor behooves every voter
to examine into the great questions in
vnlyed and be ready to act with decisi
independently and intelligentlY on tie
second day of November, which viii be
remembered in the time to come as the
most important event in the past history
of Montana, if not the most important
that her INTELLIGENT people may be called
upon to decide in all time to come,
The most important of these questions
rise above politics and shon.d be consid-
cred with candor and met with frnness.
This. great and oyershadowing issue is:
Shall that great and powerful corpora
ton. the Northern Pacific railroad, dolni.
nate the politics IF this great TERRITORY,
control It's legislative assembly, the exc
cu!iye affairs of every county, and have
Its own representative in the congress Of
the United States. in the person Of Will
bur L. Sanders? Or will the PEOPLE Of
this county and territory arts. in their
might and elect her most substantial
citizens to represent them in the lesis-
lative assemblies of this territory, aud
send to congress a man who has been
tried and found true to every trust; who
has redeemed every pledge made to the
people two years a-o-.in the person of
Jos. X. Tonle?

THE KEY NOTE,

The Courier copies the following ftom
the New Northwest, and quotes it as the
Ian mage of Col. Sanders:
II will not consent that anv Of my
friends shall be led into error by these
attacks. We will tight ont this battle
like men speaking TO reasonable menopon
The issues that concern them most and
vitality. If it Is given us to so win vic
rory, it will be doubly grateful: and il
we are defeated. 1t will he without dis
honor" And this is the key note of the
republican camuaign.'
What has become of the boasted
'srathing sarcasm" of Col Sanders,
which Is one of his great accomplish
ments, accordin. TO the republican press
of the territory? OF course they see
that victory cannot he won by INDUCING
in vile abuse, which has always been
the great forte of Col. Sanders, and has
been in the past one of his great gifts
dotted upon by Ills friends. bnt his polit-
ieal trimmers cannot hold him Own
always, even in this campaign, for
while in Livingston he referred tn the
democrats of Montana as contemplate
maggots" Snrh expressions escape the
lips of Mr.. Sanders nearly every time h.
makes speech.

INCONSISTENT AGlIN.

The Courier lays the blame of the re-
moval of Fort Ellis to Hon. Jos. X.
Toole's door;notwithstanding that gem
tleman's efforts to have the post enlarg
ed. If we mistake not it was the Courier
that said Augu,t 9TH:
eve do not regard the matteras very
serious misfortune for either Bozeman
or the Gallatin valley, inasmnch az, for
the past three or four years the garrison
has been too sma'l.numerically to afford
anv considerable market for Irsurplus
products, while, in almost every instances
contracts nave been taken and supplies
furnished at much lower prices than they
could have been marketed for elsewhere.
The comparatively large and valuable
reservation will now be open for settle
ment and improvement. and as most Is
velnable agricultural land, capable of
producing immense crops. and as there
Is sufficient quantity of it to make 40 or
50 farms, that number Of thrifty families
would perhaps be worth as much to
B .zeman and the county generally as
the retention of the fort in its present
diminutlve condition"
What wa' looked upon in August as a
"boon" is now a misfortune. See?

THE DIFFZRENCE.

Toole's bill compelling the railroad
company to ray taxes upon its land will
be of great benefit to this county in
more WAYS than one As long a. the com
pany could allow their lands to lie idle
there was no need of their selling them
which become of greater value every
day; hence the dissatisfaction expressed
by many IF onr farmers who have raid
as high as $500. per acre for land which
was promisec to them for $500. Uence
it is that the comp any try to squeeze ey-
cry dollar out of the land possible to be
obtained, knowing that it costs them
nothing TO keep it and that the i'm
provements constantly going forward up
on adjoining lands. will enhance the
value of their own.
But having 10 pay taxes upon the land,
places different pnase upen the matter
and, as result of Mr. Toole's bill, The
company will make all haste to dispose
of the land, settlers will be brought here
at reduced passenger rates and the land
now lying in its virgin state, will soon
be made to blossom like the rose.

STRANGE BEDfELLOWS.

" e meet with strange characters in
politics. The great masses believe firm

ceptionally few who go into politics for
what there is in it; who work for what
il is worth; who look not to the future;
wno'degmde principle, conscience and
everything for present gain. Let us il

newspapers OF this Territory. Without
being personal, we shall say there was

UNDENIksLE FACTS.

"Those yindictive persons who are at
tempting to injure Col. Sanders pros
pc, Is of election by stating tina. he is the
Northern Pacific railroad candidate, and
that all the company's employees on the
Rad will be required to Vote the Repub-
IiCan ticket, should visit the shops and
yards 81 the company tast of Bozeman.
With scarcely an exception the men are
wearing the party adges,-Democratic
and Republican according to their res.
pectiye political affiliations. The COM
pany, we are assured, will not, in a single
instance, attempt to interfere with or in
fluence its employees in heir political or
personal preferences or right of suffrage.
But even should the company be dispos-
ed to thus interfere, Col. Sanders is too
Independent and honorable to allow il
to lie done in his behalf."-Courier
The above statement will not mislead
anrone, for it it well-known and an
acknowledged fact that the Northern Pa
cific railroad company did require their
employees two years ago to vote for the
Republican candidate for congress and
the Republican ticket; it is also well
known that orders were Issued, in writ
ing to section bosses ard all persons hav.
ing charge of men, to go to the polls and
TO vote the tickets which were sent in the
same envelope with those orders. That
the tickets were different from any Others
used in Gallatin county, will be
shown by On examination of the ballot
boxes to-day. That citizens of Bozeman
saw those orders and tickets. That it
has been standing joke for the past
two years among those who manipulated
and worked the s, heme. This is not all.
but it has been the boast of railroad
men, we are informed, that trains were
run from Townsend to Billings, the same
men voting at different places, in vio.a-
tion of law. We get this information
from persons who saw the orders, and
these statements are certainly confirmed
by the vote along the line If the rail-
road in Dawson. Yellowstone and Mis-
soula counties, all of which have always
been strongly Democratic; and while we
do not dispute the fact that employees are
allowed to indnlge in heinnocent amnse-
ment of wearing badges, even Toole
badges, we believe that they will receive
orders and be forced to vote for Sanders
on the second Of November, and woe to

roo PREVIOUS.

The New Northwest usually so careful.
and dignifed in its public utterances,
is ''little too previous" in its Issue of
the 22l. in commenting.on the relations
Of Governor Hauser and Land Commits
sioner Sparks. 1t strikes MS with won
der that Capt. Mills could have for mo
ment believed sucI. chaf as is contained
in the reported reply Of Commissioner
Sparks to Governor Hauser, and should
have retailed to his readers such palpa
BILE campaign lie.
The facts are that Governor Haussr
does not report to Commissioner Sparks
but to the Secretary Of the Interior, and
Gen. Sparks has never seen Governor
Ha1ser's report, and has nsequentlv
made no reply, We have often wonder
ed during this campaign, whether it was
Sparks or J. K. Toole whom the Demo-
Gratis were running for office. We have
wondered how, If SDarks were as black
as an imp of the internal regions. how
that made a saint of Saaders; or why, if
all things which are reported of him by
our Republican friends Were trne, that
Toole was any the less untitled for con-
gress than if Sparks had never lived.
Sad indeed must be the plight of a
Tar'y which can and does resort to such
miserable subtelfuges for their campaign
thunder. Do they think to mislead the
people? or that the PEOPLE are so gullible
as to believe that Joe Toole must be a
bad man because some one else is bad
man. The true inwardness of the whole
thing is not this, however. Its object is
to draw the public attention away from
the weakness of the Republican candi-
date and his many sins of omission and
commission.
