Montana Indians.

Washington special: The interior de-
partaaent has anticipated as well as it can
the action Of congress on the report Of the
senate special committee, Messrs, Harri-
son, Ingalls, and Jones, relative to the
Grow Indians in Montana, and will do all
that it is able to, without legislation, to
relieve these Indians. Mr.. Sparks at the
request of the Indian office, made a tele-
graphic order a day or two since for se-
ries Of surveys upon the eastern end Of the
Grow reservation, or what is known rs the
Northern Cheyenne reservation. These
surveys are being made for the purpose Of
allotting the lands to the Indians for agri-
cultural purposes, that they may go on
and make such Improvements as congress
contemplates aiding them to make in

After the debate Dir. Springer withdrew

Mr.. Garry Of Wyoming defended cattle

abuse which had beenshoWered upon them.
He declared they were just as honest and
upright men as could be found on the floor
of the house. He challenged the product

River "Ripples.

The steamer Judith, Captain Fecto in
command, arrived in port at 10 O'Clock yes
teraay. She left Bismarck with four hum
dred tons Of freight, and arrives here with
two hundred tons. The Judith is a fine
boat, and has been elegantly fitted up.
The cabin is entirely new, and very neat
and attractive. She has a carrying cap
acIby of about five hundred tons, and will
be able to clean up all the wool now in the
city. The owners estimate that the judith
can take down about 800 sacks.
The steamer Helena passed Rocky

We did notice one elegant lace dress worn
by Mrs. Conrad, and another, dress of
old gold, worn BY one Of the prominent
ladies. Blue and white dresses were
chiefly worn, andawe must say all OF the
ladies looked and were charming. The
refreshments, which consisted Of ice
cream, ices, cake and lemonade, We're

them The spacious grounds afforded a
fine opportunity fer delightful promenades
and filtration walk was fully occupied all
ofsthe evening.
This party is the first one Of the kind
given in For- Benton and we hope it will
not be the last. The success of the enter
tainment is due entirely TO the good man
agement Of the ladies who bad the matter
in charge, and their efforts. We're fully ap-
preciated by their guests.

st. =. & NJ sarwey i'll Ward County.

Fred. Preston of the Burlington, Ward
county, Reporter, was Ia Bismarck to-day
and reported Manitoba railroad party Of
surveyors at work in the vicinity of Bur-
lington. This party is making the west
ward survey of the St.Paul g Manitoba
company from Devils Lake into the upper
Missouri country. The line as located
crosses the territory enclosed by the great
bend Of Mouse river on a line which is
about eighteen miles north of ScriptoWn.
The eastern crossing of the river has been
Established near Newport In McHenry
county, which is % miles east of g point
lbs miles north of Bismarck. The second
and western crossing of the Mouse has
been surveyed few miles from Burling-
ton and will be located there If from that
point there can be found a favorable cross
ing to the Missouri slope. This selected
Swestern crossing is 21 miles west of a
point l02 north of Bismarck. The engi-
fsAeers were at work on the problem OF get

A Malicious Falsellood.

No more malicious falsehood than that
which recently appeared in the Helena
Herald, relating to navigation at this point
could have been conceived. A bogus dis
patsh, written in the Herald office and dat
ed Bismarck, announced that navigation at
this point had been stopped for the season !;
that there was not enough water in the
river to float boat and that no goods
could be shipped from this point to Benton
by boat The man who wrote the dispatch
is not what could be called a great liar, for
it requires some intelligence and genius to
become great in anything, but if any one
should state that he was suffering from a
bad case of the jim-iams, he would find it
very difficult to get up an argument.
The river never was in better condition
for profitable navigation, and when the
Bachelor and Benton get away this week,
the Benton line will have six boats out en-
route to Benton only to return loaded with
wool, and, as soon.as they can be loaded re-
turn again to Benton.-Bismarck Tribune

the moment, consequently there was not
as large an attendance as there otherwise
would have been. Monday a number of
the young people got up picnic and went
out to Moore's ranch to celebrate. Mar
ried people were barred from attending.
They returned about O'Clock last even
ing. A ball at the Choteau house wound
up the festivities of the celebration. About
twenty-five couples were present and
dancing never tagged until o'clock this
morning. The Benton string band Of five
pieces furnished the music for the occa-
sion. The supper furnished by Mayor
Sullivan was up to the standard. Taking
it altogether, the Fourth Of July, 1886, at

Gladstone in His Native City.

LONDON, June 29.-Gladstone3 in the
course of his speech delivered yesterday
atLiverpool, said: sfIt was here that Z
first drew breath. I have drawn it. now
76years. The time is not far distant
when Ishall pay my debt to nature, and
these, possibly, are the last wordsI shall
speak in inLiverpoo1.' Gladstone quoted
from the ballad, Chevy Chase, ssThe child
unborn shall rue the hunting of that day.
and exclaimed, ssIf idle and shallow pre-
texts bewilder the minds Of the people. or
if power, wealth and rank oYerbear ma
tional sense, the child unborn shall rue
the votings ofthat day. ] entreat you 10
resolve that the civilized world shall no
longer assert that Ireland is England's
Poland, and to determine that England
shall no longer have a Poland. She has
had itlong enough. Listen to courage,
prudence and honor. Ring out the old,
ring in the new. Ring out the notes of
memory and discord. Ring in the blessed
reign of time of peace.

The Count de Paris.

When Napoleon Ill was reigning in
France he used frequently to say that he
did not dread the Bourbonists alone nor the
Orleanists alone, but fusion Of the two
Monarchial contestants would be nirresis-
table power, which would sweep all other
ideas before it in France. The trouble
then was that the two parties never would
fuse. Like most family quarrels the dis
putes between the heir to the crown Of
Henry vi, and the heir to that Of Louis
Philippe were most difficult ofadjustment.
Time, the great paciticator, has now set
tied all the difference forever. The Count
de Chambord is dead, and with him dies
the direct line of succession Of the Bour-
bons and in the Count de Paris is seen the
Oldest living descendant OF both the Bour-
bon and Orleanist claimants. He is the
Fusion personifed Who can wonder that
he wishes to continue the tradition Of
French history, and WELD the scepter that
has been held by his ancestors since the
days of the Merovingian Kings.

The Billings Line

Major S. S. Reed, representing Messrs.
Gilmer & Salisbury, who have recently
purchased the stage outfit of the Benton
e Billings Stage company, arrived in the
city Friday accompanied by Mr.. John Da-
Wis, superintendent of the line. The ma
ior came over the line to receive the prop.
erty and fonnd the outfit in first-class con-
dition in every way, in fact, very much
better than was expected. He says the
company will give as good service as pos
sible. They have also purchased the line
from Ubet to Maiden and from junction
City to Maiden. The uperintendent,
John j. Davis will be retained. We
think this is 2 good move on the part of
the company, as Mr.. Davis has filled the
position to the entire satisfaction of the
old contractors, he cannot fail to be just
the man the new company needs. He is
conversant with all ms and outs of the
business, and is in every way qualified to
superintend the line.

The Sale af Cl1oteau.

The sale OF the property formerly be-
longing to Hamilton y Hazlett netted
something over 100000. There were a
great many bidders present and the prop
erty sold for good prices. The store and
stock were sold to Burd & Armstrong for

=. Ellis and another party and brought
Is. 90 per share. The horses and cattle
were sold to various parties and brought
good prices, and the same is true of the

MONTANA POLITICS.
pu+te Correspondent Enliglatens the Pio-
neer Press on the Subject

Writing of the possible admission OF
Montana to statehood and the contest that
,rould follow for the senatorships, the cor
respondent says: ........ -=..
MAJOR MAGINNIs. .5s
Major Maginnis is MOntanian, though
ba is frequently claimed as common prop
erty BY Dakota and Minnesota as we'll.
For ten wears he served Montana as del
ooste in the national congress, and he
.orved her faithfully and we'll. He has
been pioneer as we'll as the governor.
He has not amassed wealth, but he has
made host of friends. He has stumped
every nook and corner Of the territory
year after year. He has eaten with the
oontented ranchman, drank with the hap
nv-go-lucky miner, danced with the jolly
COW boy and slept with the very Indians.
He has been lone Of the boys" and has
sways remained true to them. He was a
god, loyal soldier, an honest, hard-Work-
Mand Efficient delegate and an exemplary
atizen. He has no money, as have said,
but he has friends who have it in album
lance, and who are ever ready to put it up
for him. He is terror on the stump, and
would make vigorous fight.
CLARK's CAREER.
Happily for the candidate on the west
side, he ESQ far us Mr.. Clark is concerned)
would escape all this fight. Though Of
Irish parentage, he has not affiliated with
that faction any more than his passage
through Missouri on his way west into
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and finally
Montana, predisposed him to champion
the cause Of the Missourians. In this he
is most fortunate, but good fortune is a
characteristic of his career. There are
other aspirants, or, rather, there would be,
but they would cut but small figure, save
as e'black horses,' in the event of a dead
lock. The most prominent of these would
be Sam Word, Wash. Mccormick and c.
A. Broadwater.
WHY MONTANA WILL REMAIN DEMOCRATIC.
1t may be unpleasant to admit the fact,
hut it remains fact, nevertheless, that the
western states-by that : mean. Rocky
! mountain states, Colorado and Nevada
A are of the political complexion advocated
wa majority of their liberal rich men.
4ust majority of the rich men Of Colora-
III bwere and are to-day republicans. They
have given freely of their money to keep it
Y republican,, and they have succeeded.
Money has always triumphed in Nevada.
/ So Il will in Montana. The rich men OF
Montana are nearly all democrats, and
4 they are said to be princes when the shek-
lsare needed. The republicans here re-
\ alze this, and 1t discourages them. 1t is
just to say, however, that considering
their means and opportunities, the repub-
leans Of Montana have made gallant
fight for supremacy. Neither party is ex,
ceptonally well organized nor disciplined
