Montana, Dakota and washington.

Al Washington special to the Post,
says. Last week Senator Voorhees,
introduced bill to admit Washington
Territory as d state, and yesterday he
introduced bill to admit Montana as
state. The Senator was asked if he
intended to make the admission of
Dakota conditional on the admission of
Montana, as it has been reported that
the democrats were disposed to do. He
replied: Il can speak only fer myself
| think the best arrangement we can
make, ia to admit Dakota. Montana and
Washington. They must all come in
soon and they might as well come IN
now.
do not see how we can prevent
Dakota from coming in. She has a
voting population of $4,000 and is en-
titled to admittance. 1 thought at first
/ should oppose the division of Dakote,
but do not see how | can. The terri
tory has an area of five times my own
state, and South Dakota would be about
ais large as Ohio and Indiana. Montana
has voting population of 26,OOO and
Washington a voting population Of
10000. There are not fifteen congress
sional districts in the country with the
population of Washington and not a
hundred with that of Montana. Dakota
is republican, Montana is democratic,
and / am confGent will remain so.
Washington is close and may be won by
either party. If she comes into the
union by democratic votes under dem
ocratic administration, our chances in
the new state will be all the better. IT
seems to be much the best plan to take
in these three territories at once. They
are entitled to 1t, and politically it will
be as fair and equal an arrangement as
can be made"
Several prominent democrats are
reported to agree with Mr.. Voorhees,.
Mr.. Springer expresses the opinion that
the house committee on territories will
report favorbly on the division and
admission Of Dakota, unless the party
shall hold a caucus upon the subject. In
that case, it is his opinion that the
decision would be adverse.

decent Land Decisions.

Below we present some recent decisions
made by Commissioner Sparks, the first
of which will do away with what has
heretofore been the cause for complaint,
that has come even within the sound of
our own ears.
Each question in final proofs must be
orally asked and answered in the pres
ence of the attesting officer. Applica-
tions, afidsvits and final proof questions
must be thoroughly explained, so that
there can be no possibility that the

Of their affidavits, or the full meaning
of the questions asked, or the effect OF
their answer Ready-made proofs pre-
sented merely pro forma, acknowledge
ments without verifcation, cross-exam-
ination, or evidence of identity, will not
be considered such proofs as are required
by law.
In no case are papers authorized to be
executed in blank. Papers SO signed OF
falsely authenticated will be treated as
franduleIt, and the acts of an officer
nisusing his official signature and seal,
will not be respected by this office, but
the attention of the proper authorities
will be called to his misconduct.
Officers taking applications, affidavits

The Crow reservation.

There will be bill introduced this
session, to throw open considerable
part of the Crow reservation in Montana
and consolidate the Grows on land held
by them in seyeralty, dissolvlng the
tribe relation. The measure will be sub
stantially the same as that introduced by
Delegate Maginnis in the last session of
the forty-eighth congress. This will
open to settlement some of the finest
arabic and grazing lands in the north
west. Delegate Toole has prepared the
bill, but will wait until he can learn
what the Holman committee has to say
about the reservation. It is expected
that the committee will recommend
practically the same measure as the
Maginnis bill

Chas. r. Pollard.

A recent issue of the Inter Mountain
gives very excellent portrait of Judge
Pollard of this district. Accompanying
it is a brief, but interesting sketch OF
the Judge. 1t will be read with interest
by the people of Montana:
Judge Pollard was born in Mobile, Ala
bama, Aug. 9th, 1845. When eight
years of age, his father died, and what
ever he has since accomplished in life, has
been the result of his own unaided
efforts. He was educated in the public
schools of Mobile, and when the war
occurred he was in college at Spring Hill,
Ala. In 1861. when only youth of
sixteen, he enlisted in the Mobile dra-
goons and did city and coast duty for the
period of six months, when his enlist
ment expired He at once re. enlisted in
the Seventh Alabama cavalry for the
period of a year, serving first as orderly
sergeant, afterwards as second lieutenant.
In 1858 he again enlisted in the Third
Alabama cavalry, and served in what
was known as the ans-Mississippl
department. He participated in the
battles of Corinth and Fianklyn, Ten
nessee, also in the siege of Mobile, but
when the city capitulated, he escaped
with General D. H. Marnry's corps.
During the remainder of the war he
served in a battery of light artillery. and
surrendered April, 1866, to Gen. Candy
at Meriden, Miss. In November follow
ing he arrived at Delphi, Ind, accom-
panied by his mother, brother and two
sisters. After acting as deputy in the
county clerks office for six months, he
began the study of law and was admit
ted to the bar in 1868. The year after,
he was appointed by Gov. Hendricks
prosecuting attorney of the twenty
ninth judicial district, serving until the
next general election, when he was
nominated and elected to the position
for the full term of two years. At the
expiration of his term he formed law
partnership with Judge B. b. Daley,
who two years later was appointed Judge
/ of the circuit. He continued in prac'
tice till 1881, when he formed partner
ship with Judge Applegate, one OF the
ablest lawyers of the Delphi bar, which
continued until the date of his recent
appointment. In 1882 he was the unan
imous choice of his party in the 39tf
judicial district for judge of the circuit
court, which in dignity and standing II
only second to the supreme court OF tht
state. The district is a close one, con
sisting of Carroll and Cass counties, ont
of which is strongly republican and thu
other strongly democratic. In this con
test the Judge was defeated. Judge Pol
lard served as city attorney of DELPHI
from 1879 until last May, and the firm
were the county attorneys and adviser
of the commissioners from 1877 t.
1880. During all this time Judge Pollart
has been in active practice in th'
supreme and federal courts of the state
He was married in 1868, to Miss Lilli
Pigman of Delphi, and has two chill

years of age.

For Fltz John Porter.

The house committee on military
affail S reports a bill for the relief Of Fitz
John Porter. 1t authorizes the presi-
dent to appoint Fitz John Porter to the
position of colonel in the srmy, and in
his discretion to place him on the
retired list of that grade, provided Porter
shall receive no pay, compensation or
allowance whatsoever, prior to his
appointment under this act. The COM
mittee adopts the report submitted to
them and considered the objections
made to the bill in the veto message of
President Arthur, and are clearly Of the
opinion that they are not well founded
and should not interrupt the course Of
Justice. The report is signed by all the
democratic members of the committee.
