THE INDIAN WAREHOUSE.

st. Louis wants the Indian warehouse
now located at New York City removed to
that city. 1t is contended with some con-
siderable show of reason that New York is
too far removed from the different points
to which Supplies must be forwarded.
This week the Indian office will hear argu-
MEATS from the business men OF Chicago,
st. Louis and Kansas City regarding the
advisability of placing the warehouse in
one of the three cities. The st. Paul
Globe, however, thinks there is better To-
cation than any one Of them. 1t contends
that it should be located in st. Paul, and
adds: "By far the largest number OF In
dians in the country under governmental
supervision are in the Northwest. The
reservations in Montana, Dakota and
Minnesota are OF course more convenient
of access from st. Paul than from any
other point, and those in the Southwest,
with the excellent railway Communication
enjoyed by this city. could be very readily
reached. The matter is one that the lnte-
rior Department should very carefully con-
slider, and to that end the business men OF
st. Paul should submit q vigorous argu-
ment in the city's and incidentally their
own behalf at the same time with the varl-
GUS other cities which are endeavoring to
secure the prize

LOVER HIS ASHES.
ELOQUENT Words Pronounced OYER
Ono Who Helped to Make
Montana.

The MINER clips from the many words
OF kindly nature spoken over the remains
OF T. J. Lowry, these from Chief Justice
Wade:
"Thomas J. Lowry was present at the
very birth OF Montana and for nearly
quarter Of a century was one OF its FORE
most citizens. When, sixteen years ago, l
first came here, a stranger in a strange
land, charged with official and important
trusts and duties, he took me by the hand
and bade me God speed.
''Reared and educated in the grand old
commonwealth OF William Penn and Ben
jamin Franklin; born amidst the memories
and traditions OF the founders OF the Re-
public, and filled with thespirit OF Ameri-
can enterprise and freedom, he was well
qualified to keep. mould and found q state.
Faithfully and well did he perform his part
in laying the cornerstone of Montana CIV
ilization. He loved Montana as something
he had made.
''How the memories throngin upon us as
we look backward through these years.
But he is gone! His familiar form and
voice will not be seen or heard
ags.in at this bar. He has solved
the mystery OF all mysteries, and soon we
shall follow him. These memorial occa-
sions, which will become more and more
frequent as time rolls ON, ought to make us
more charitable and considerate OF each
other. Human life is too precious and
sacred to be spent in ignohe strife or in
satiss, ing petty ambitions. In the prescrse
OF death now triiiug are all our affairs.
LITER I'LL i,o-cr, We each go Our way alone
to the undiscovered country. We leave
but a name behind, and that is soon for
gotten. How puny are our grandest
AFFAIRS they are the merest trifies, the
gnats OF summer day, and the nights ends
all. We cannot see beyond. We can only
do right as we are given to sec the right,
and the hope that we do not live in vain.

Columbia now shows that considerable
mining was done there years ago. At the
period when capital was desirous to invest
in the quartz-bearing section property was
held at such exorditant prices that it be-
came discouraged, and now no one cares
to visit or invest in the district.

THF MANITOBA ROAD.

The River Press, in speaking OF this road,
says: 1.-THE grading on the western exten-
sion of the Manitoba is about completed
to the Missouri river, which they strike
some twenty-five miles below Fort buiord'
and it is expected that the road Will De
complete to that point before the hrst OF
the year. When navigation opens nextyear
a line OF boats to operate between buiord
and Benton will be put on and the opera
tions of the Manitoba will be facilita ted IN
this manner. If it is necessary, IN order 10
complete the line through to Helena nex'
season, material will be carried by steamers
to Fort Benton and road construction
commenced here. Taking it for granted
that the reservation will be orened TINS
winter. or reduced in area-and we can
safely do so-there is certain to be an I'M
mense imm grafton into northern Montana
next spring in advance and in the wake ol
the railroad. A more favored field ior 'he
settler cannot be found in the iengtn anu
breadth of the land, and it will not De 'ohs
in filing up. Everything indicates 're.
mepdous boom for the country nor1n oi

A SECRET CIRCULAR,
In Which Fowderly Reminds knights of
Labor of Their Duty.

In Which Fowderly Reminds Knights of
Labor of Their Duty.
PHILADELPHIA. November 3O.-The Press
to-morrow will publish the secret circular
issued by the general officers of the Knights
of Labor, in which the following are the
principal points OF general interest: The
address opens with reference to an appeal
issued for funds to assist victimized and
locked-out members in various parts OF the
country, and to an unsatisfactory response
which left many thousand members, thrown
on the hands OF the order by the lockout,
power and usefulness of the order.
Powderly then says: 1.-The order has
reached the most critical period in it's his
tory" He refers to the contract which
employees are made to sign compelling
them to leave the Knights OF Labor, and
says: every man who has Joined the
Knights of Labor has pledged himself to
do his duty in the cause of mankind. No
oaths bind him to any act contrary to the
duty he owes to God or his country, but
something is more sacred even, than an
oath. His pledge OF honor binds him to
Loyalty defend the principles OF truth,
honor, justice and cltlZensnlp. Two aiter-
natives present themselves unconditional
surrender or manly defense; which shall it
be?
In order to alleviate the distress Of many
Knights out of employment, the address
SAYS the General Executive Board unani-
mously resolved to levy an assessment OF
25 cents per member from all local assem-.
bies. The assessment should be credited
to those who responded by the previous
call. The assessment will be known as the
special defense assessment.

O'Brien Interviewed.

DUBLIN, November 3O:-1n an interview
to-day Mr. O'Brien said he was OF the
opinion that the executive would defeat
themselves in trying to stem the tide OF
opinion in favor OF a reduction OF rents,
even Gen. Butler having declared IN favor
to produce rent. The Government, he
said, were playing a game to bankrupt
landlords whose esta tes were 80 deeply
mortgaged that it would be impossible for
them to meet their engagements unless they
exacted full rents. He said the Govern
ment's action would lead to troublous
times, but he was confident the English
people would see the justice of the claims OF
the Irish peasantry, and that repressive
policy would soon produce a revulson OF
feeling IN England against the authors OF
that policy,
