When the earth lay in darkness long ago,
Tbs Morning Star shone bright against the

With hope and promise in its radiant glow
Now clear light floods all the sky and air;
And in the day it brought to fill nights

The Star is lost to sight-but it is there.

Julian was informed that she had left
him !eS, 900 iu the English funds, and with
this information came letter from Sgd
ney saying that she was going with her
uncle and aunt to Pau. and would not re-
turn until December, when she would be
twenty-onc. and her own mistress. Then,
if Julian liked, he WAS to meet her in
England, and their marriage could be
celebrated during the holidays.
The $4,000 was rather an annoyance.
Mr.. Raleigh, who had usually liberal
ideas about money, was clearly of opinion
that Julian ought not to touch penny of
it unless Sydney and he married. 'It is
aggravating, my dear boy, when you
think of eS, 0CO worth of pleasure locked
up, but there are s2me things i gentle
man should not do, even for eS, 000"
Sydneys birthday was on she 10th of
December, and Julian left early enough
to arrive at Downham on the evening of
the 18th 1t had been Il lovely winter

h,m had been charming. lie could easily
imagine how perfect this flat, rich coun-

would be covered with purple grapes,
and the hedge-rows and beeches gar
landed with wild hops. When the train
entered the little depot at Downham,
the first object he saw was Sidney lean
ing upon the arm of just such figure as
the world accepts for the typical English
mana stout, bluff, middle-aged man in
drab broadcoth, with short riding
whip in his hand. He smiled benignly
at Sydney's meeting with her lover, and
gave Julian his hand in very gracious
manner. It was rather an embarrassing
meeting, bat he treated it in the most

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.

administration for the ensuing year, and
the transaction of such other business as
may come before the encamDment.
Representation in the encampment
will be in strict compliance with the
rules and regulations article II, chapter
2, page 12.)
The rates of fare established by the
Northern Pacific railroad company from
all points in Montana to Bozeman and

THE DISTRICT JUDGE.

District Attorney Blake was in town
Sunday last, just from court at Miles
City. The Judge has nothing but the
highest praise to bestow on Judge Pol
lard, now holding court in this district.
Mr.. Blake says that if men outside of the
territory are to be appointed he knows
of no one more worthy of the ermine
than Judge Pollard. Coming, as this
does, from a gentleman politically OPP
posed to Judge Pollard, and from one
who has been in daily contact with him
for the past three weeks, it carries more
weight with us than fifty newspaper
articles of the Indiana press. Judge
Blake expressed his surprise at these
articles, which. he says, must have been
VIGOROUSLY untrue in every particular.
When asked regarding the question of
Judge Pollard's acts being legal-a ques-
that has been raised by republicans, who
claim that under section 1,76S of the re-
vised statutes of the United States that
the president has no power to remove a
United States judge, and in consequence
Pollard's acts would have no force
Judge Blake replied that such an opin-
ion was nonsensical in the highest de-
gree. Judge Pollard has his commission,
has been sworn in and is now the judge
of this district in all that the word inn
plies.

Senator Mitchell, the Oregonian, is
anxious to make a name for himself
that will return him for years to come to
the senate. The scheme is laudable
one, made especially SO by Mr.. Mitchell's
anti-C Chinese bill, which will etfectually
prevent Cinnamon coming to America,
except those accredited as a minister
plenipotentiary or consular represent
alive. The provision of the present law
that allows a Chinaman to 60 to China
and return, on proper certifcation, is a
useless one. The inspectors are unable
to distinguish one Chinaman from an
other, and the forging of certificates is
easily performed. consequently their
coming has not abated in the least, and
unless Senator Mitchell's bill becomes a
law, they will continue to come in vast
hnrdaa

THE PARK RAILWAY.

The st. Louis Republican, in long
article Uondemning the proposed bill for
a railroad through the National Park,
exhibits an amount of ignorance and
prejudice that is truly deplorable. Among
other things the article states that rail-
road through the National Park would
be the same as running street car line
through Central Park, New York. This
kind of silly twaddle may be believed in
the east, but we are surprised to find
territorial papers ready to sanction such
misstatements. Central Park, as every
school boy knows, could be placed with
in the boundaries Of the National Park,
and completely lost. Laying rails
through the National Park would be the
same as laying straw across Central
Park in comparison. The proposed rail-
road does not enter that part Of the
park where natural wonders exist, its
well-defned right Of way passes through
a country that should be cut off from
the park, but by reason of just such
opposition as the Republican and eastern
sentimentalists always advance, it was
decided to ask for a right of way only,
In their selfshness, the enemies Of this
project forget to mention the fact that
the Clark's Fork mines were in exist
ence and operated before the Park wa
declared reservation. They refuse K
admit that these same mines are now SC
completely shut in that unless railroad
is built, the camp must be almost dor
uant, Is it has been for years past.

WILL ANSWER TO THE PEOPLE.

Elsewhere we publish the greater por-
ton of the presidents message to the SEN
ate, refusing to give up certain confden-
tial papers. In the concluding paragraph
the president manfully says:
"The pledges have made, were made
to the people, and to them / am respons-
ible for the manner in which they have
been redeemed am not responsible to
the senate, and am unwilling to submit
my actions and official conduct to them
for Judgment. There are no grounds for
an allegation that the fear of being
found false to my professions influences
me in declining to submit to the demands
of the senate. l have not constantly
refused to suspend officials, and thus
incurred the displeasure of political
friends, and have not vet wilfully broken
faith with the people for the sake OF
being false to them. Neither the discon-
tent of party friends nor the allurements
constantly offered of confirmation of ap-
pointments conditional upon the avowal
that suspensions have been made on
party grounds alone, nor the threat pro-
posed in the resolutions now before the
senate, that no confirmation will be
made unless the demands of that body
be complied with, are sufficient to dis
courage or deter me from following in
the way which l am convinced leads to
better government for the people"
The republican senators have evident
ly n1isjudged their man, and will have
cause to regret their rash partisan zeal
and ill-considered demagogism.
