W lat is Thought OF Jeff. Davis
Recent .Decches.

Jefr. Davis speeches at Montgomery and
Atlanta provoked more general comment
North and South than any event for some
time. These comments express with wonder
ful clearness the underlying sentiments as
10 the issues Of the war. Public Opinion
this week, which Is now out, contains q very
complete collection Of these opinions taken
from hundred leading papers Of all sec
tions OF the country, and they make mostln-
teresting reading. Another readable feature
of this weeks paper is the space
devoted to the answers Of large
number Of leading clergymen Of all
them by Public Opinion; ''What is the
Proper relation of the pulpit to the labor
problem ?" The other departments of the
paper are particularly strong this week
with current opinions and thoughts, Those
who are not in the habit Of getting this
valuable paper are missing a wonderful
treat in the literary line. For sale ut all

The New Surgeon General.

The appointment Of Col. Meore as sur
geon general is not very acceptable to some
army people who think he has been un-
justly promoted. He ssjumps" six colo
nels and five lieutenant colonels. Among
his seniors are men who stand high in
their profession, as we'll as in military
rank ana experience. It is well known
that the promotion Of Col. Baxter, the
ranking officer in the medical corps, was
desired and recommended by Secretary
Endicott as we'll as by army officers OF
high rank, who wished to see the surgeon
generals office lifted out Of the rut in
which it had been so long. It is said that
Col Moore owes his appointment TO the
political influence and personal solicitation
of Senator Voorhees,, ex-senator Melon
aid, and other prominent Indiana demo-
Gratis. He was appointed an assistant sur
geon in the army thirty-three years ago
by President Pierce, and is said to be q
strong democrat, He served with credit

A THREATENED STRIKE.
The Engineers and Brakemen on the South
western Roads Have Grievances and
Threaten to Strike.

ST. LOUIS, November 24.-A special
from Houston, Tex, says: For several
days past trouble has existed between the
train men of the Southern Pacific COM
pany and the Atlantic system and their
officials. Last Saturday night a committee
of brakemen visited New Orleans to pre-
sent their grievances and arbitrate with
the managers of the companies regarding
wages. The railroad authorities in order
to settle the big strike last winter entered
into an agreement with the brakemen
which the latter claim is not now being en-
forced, aud assert that unless the matter is
soon rectified they will again strike. The
brotherhood Of locomotive engineers has
also appointed committee to visit the
| Crescent city and arbitrate the difficulties
existing between them and the company.
| 1t is claimed that two engineers were un-
justly discharged by the master mechanic.
| The officials Of the company state that the
action Of the master mechanic must be
sustained. The engineers state that they
are in the right and unless the difficulty is
amicably settled strike will be unayoid-
| able.

Wonderful Endurance.

Paul Hanly, the well known freighter
who was injured near Cyprian Matt's
place on the road between Broadwater's
Landing and Assinabo1ne, was brought to
the city Sunday evening and taken to his
home. His broken leg, rudely set by Cy-
prian, was reset, very difficult operation,
and he is now resting as we'll as could be
expected.
Mr.. Hanly has displayed wonderful en-
durance since his injury occurred. He
was alone at the time and when the great
freight wagon fell upon him he was una
BILE to extricate himself only by cutting
himself loose with his pocket knife, cut
ting away a portion Of the wagon bed.
After thus freeing himself, with his leg
badly broken, he unhitched his team and
mounting one of the animals rode to Cy
prian's distance of eight miles. There
he lay some days until assistance came
from Fort Assinaboine, when he was
brought home, distance Of about $50
miles. He has stood this terrible ordeal
with rare fortitude, hardly altering a
word of complaint the whole time. Paul
Hanly has in him the stuff that heroes are
made of.

As to Water.

A gentleman in this city says that while
the people of Helena are kicking against
paying three cents per hundred gallons for
water Fort Benton citizens are glad to pay
a half cent per gallon or twenty-five cents
per barrel, delivered at their places of bus
mess or at their residences. On the esti-
mate that there are 100 barrels of water
used daily at twenty-five cents per barrel
it represents $25 per day, or in a year
shows an expenditure Of $9,l25 for water,
while the Missours river glides past our
doors. Basing the expense of wa
ter works for this city at $4,000 the resi-
dents could we'll afford to incur such an
indebtedness and at the rate now paid for
water the entire system could be paid for
inside Of five or six years in fact enough
money has been expended by our citizens
during the past ten years in this direction
to have the finest system of water works
in the territory.

The Military and Indian Raids.

The companies of the First Cavalry sta
toned at Fort Assinaboine, have been in
the field on duty all summer. There are
people who think they have done nothing.
If they have not accomplished much, it is
not their fault. News Of Indian raids may
reach them, but it is so long after their oc-
currence that troops cannot be moved rap
idly enough to intercept the savages with
their stolen horses. The fault lies else
where. When horses are stolen and word
is sent to the military authorities, the
general information is that the Indians
have gone north. This is very vague in
formation, and failure on the part OF the
cavalry to make capture should not be
laid at their doors. The cavalry is COM
nanded by brave and intelligent officers,
and officers who during the civil war were
never accused of lack of bravery.
The disposition of troops in Northern
Montana, it would seem, in view of the
] frequent raids, is unwise. If, as we haye
frequently said, the troops in summer
could be sent to points which the Indians
make their ordinary route Of travel, much
good could be accomplished, and we hope
atthe coming session Of congress, the sub
ect Of the establishment of posts, at Cut
Bank and in the vicinity of the Sweet
Grass hills, will be agitated. Northern
Montana is now the only place where In
dams roam at will. The disposition Of
troops nearer the border, will prevent the
annual incursions of British Indians and
hold in check the festive Piegan who
wishes to add to his wealth and import

Montana's Claim for Statehood to be Pre-

HELENA, November 25.-Arrangements
are already being made for the presenta-

forth the claims of Montana to become a
state A committee of citizens to present
the memorial and labor for the passage of
a bill in accordance with that end will
probably be selected and will go to Wash

The Morning Star mine, on Basin creek,
Jefferson county, has been bonded by
Hewitt Adams and Charles Starrett to

the mine. A magnificent body of galena
ore, running from $40 to 800, is in sight
and big developments are anticipated by
the middle of December.
