TINE GOVERNORS REPORT.

We give conSi icrablc spaccthi~ week

the governors rcpor, To the secretary
OF the interior. Taken A. whole. it
i u very clear and concise summary
oi IL. interests moods aud demands oi
the l.eople of Montana. Il j. an able
state paper. and Ne cali to 1t the care
ful consideration of all Montamin-.
He makes many good suggestions.
notably those in regard to Indian res
crvation- and Indian raids. silver leg
islation. the Panhandle district. hand
surveys. chang IN he land laws. the
special legislation act ami the adms-
sion of Montana ~ "A stale.
We believe with the governor that
whatever oi good mi.ht have been ac-
complishcd years ago hy II modiiica-
tion of the land laws. and a repeal of
some of them. that opportunity has
now passed. We are of the opinion
that the land laws should all remain
ia force as to the lands that are now
subject torntry, but that some restric-
tions should he made with relerencetO
any Indian reservations that may he
opened in the future.
The GOV gets in Il sly hit ut ''our
friend" Sparks. without mentioning
his name, in reference to his timber
reg,ila; ions. He. however, says moth
ing about Sparks rulings as they affect
,ettlers. sparks has only scared the
miners and mill men, but he has injured
the settlers to the extent of many
thousands ofdolIars. Weshould have
been glad to -ee the Governors report
voice the ntinicnts OF the people on
that question, also.
lie also hits congress pretty hard ON
the total lack oflesislation adapted to
the needs OF the territ ories, and on the
special legislation act. That august
assembly treats the territories like "a
lot of school boys vino need diSciplin-
ing lie estimates our population at

Speaking Of our admission into the
union as II state, he says: ''Thc full
ness of time seems to have come that

full rights of American citizenship I'M
der a constitution OF their own framing.
and rulers of their own choosing,
should he gratiiied."
The report is worthy of much more
consideration from the department
than it is likely To receive.

The people of the fourth judicial
district have reason to he grateful to
the appointing power which gave them
Hon. Thomas e. Bach to preside over
their courts. \ gentleman in every
sense of the Notwithstanding, deeply
learned. prompt and firm in his decis-
ions and Just withal--in fact a model
jurist His expeditions manner Of
disposing of business has this term of
court saved the county thousands of
dollars and at the same time given
satisfaction to ltigants. Such men
as he in our judiciary and we may rely
that Justice speedy and complete will
he metcd out to those who have busi-
ness before our courts. Judge Bach
carries with him the good wishes of the
hest people in Custer county, who can
commend him to other counties that
will soon, like us, appreciate his ability
and integri,y-M Miles City Democrat.
As Fergus county is in Judge Bach's
district-the lth-it gives us pleasure
to copy the above llattcring tcstimo-
nial. The Judge will not preside here
before March, it is thought. as the
accumulation of business will hardly
warrant Il term OF court before that
time.

Sparks evidently does not believe in
women marryins-perhaps because OF
the fate of his own wife, who has to
live with crank-for i'm recent ease
in the Aberdeen. Dakota. land office
he holds that woman having filed II
homestead while single, she forieits her
right by marrying before making her
final entry. The decision will undoubt
e'lly he Overruled, however, for the law
granting homesteads to settlers makes
no distinction OF that kind, and the
rights of single woman having once
attached to IL tract of land it is beyond
the authority OF sparks or of any
other power to declare it forfeited by
her subsequent marriage, which would
be "a restriction upon that rite, in con
prevention of one of the best estab-
lished principles OF law. 1t is simply
another OF Sparks fool rulings, young
ladies, and We would advise you not
to break OFF your contemplated mar
riages on that account.

ACTION OF the COMMITTEE.

The Republican Central Committee
met last Friday and filled the vacan-
cies on the Republican ticket-placing
Hon. James Fergus on the ticket for
representative. and Miss W. a. Ship
man for Superintendent Of Schools.
.As regards the representative. some
explanation OF the situation should
he made. In Justice to Mr.. Fergus it
can be said that he did not desire to
again enter the political arena, old
age and intirmities admOnishing him
that the time had come for him to
withdraw. But after considerable
urging he consented to the use Of his
name.
The fact is. the committee was
unable to find a man who was hunger
ing for legislative honors. 4 number
of those approached in the matter
could not leave their business--were
they electe,l-at this time. for the
small compensation attached to the
office.
To have left the place ON the ticket
blank after the magnanimous action
OF Measher county republicans, would
have been unwise. and given great dis
satisfaction.
The nominees of both tickets are
well known and influential men and it
lies in the power of either OF them to
do more for this section than a new
man.
But there Is no Disgusting the fact
that there is n strong feeling against
returning large stock men to the lecis-
lature, or at least having our legisla-
ture dominated by that class. II may
be well to raise the danger signal, but
We trust and hope Mr.. Stuart or James
Fergus are capable OF thinking and
working for some other interests than
their own. The big fish can take care
OF themselves. Tie next legislature
should he composed of magnanimous,
level-headed men. Perhaps more laws
should he repealed than enacted.
Some portions of the stock legislation
