Judge Bach's charge to the grand jury
covered the ground very fully and left
that body but little room to question what
will be their duty in the premises. He
not only called their attention to certain
evils and infractions of the law, but by his
earnestness impressed them with the ne
cessity of correcting the same so far as
possible. He laid particular stress upon
the social evil, pointing out certain phases
of it that should no longer be tolerated in
this community. He also spoke of the
violence that had been done to Cinnamon
here in the past and of the threats of per-
petual exclusion, promising to afford so
far as in the power of the court and its
officers deserved protection to the China
man. He suggested that the vagrant act
should be fully enforced, recommending
that all who are convicted be put at break
ing stone, OF at work upon some public
improvement. The judge spoke of the
urgent necessity of Jail, insisting that it
is poor economy to try to get along with
out safe and suitable building in which
to hold the prisoners of the county. The
attention of the grand jury was also
called to various other matters, such as
are usually mentioned in the "charge."
and after the customary caution in regard
to the secrecy of their proceedings, they
proceeded to their room and commenced
their work. Mr.. J. 7. Athey of Sun
River is foreman

The Helena Independent says: "Brad-

343 towns. Number of mercantile and
manufacturing firms, 2,O12-an increase
of 215 in three months. Their net worth

Number of banks, 80; actual net worth,
$3,662, 25O-an average for the banks OF
over 100000, and for merchants, 50, 1879.
This latter average is very high, as in
most states it will not reach $4,000, and
in Dakota it is under 81 900. There are
sixty-fve wholesale houses in the terri
tory with net worth of $5,O35,9OO. Some
Of them, of course, are both wholesale

from the complete individual report, and
it is safe to say they are the most accurate

GOV. LESLIE'S VISIT.

Governor Leslie, who revisits Great
Falls after an interval of about year, will
observe a marked change for the better
in this city and in all northern Montana.
When he came here last the journey
from Helena occupied nearly two days,
while on this occasion he came speedily
by railroad through the picturesque can
yons and fertile valleys to the centre Of
the city This in itself implies great pro-
gress for in Montana the advent of the rail
road means rapid advancement because the
the resources Of the country are large and
the enterprise of the people is considera-
BILE. Trade, mining, farming, grazing and
other pursuits have all prospered by the
completion of the railroad, because the
people have readily turned that wonder
full agency to account They will do so
still more when the smclter is completed
and the plans for extending the railroad
into the Judith basin and Belt mountain
region Are carried into effect.
Governor Leslie will also observe that
this has become a countv-seat in fact as
we'll as name. In virtue OF the bill which
he promptly approved Cascade county
came into existence and is now as fully
organized as any of the older counties.
The court, now in session, with a light
calendar, implies that we have all the
machinery of Justice with, happily, little

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

In the four years which have elapsed
since the presidential conventions met at
Chicago, some important changes have
taken place in American politics. The
healing effect Of time has done much to
remove the bitterness which the civil war
infused into national politics and to estab
fish real harmony between the north and
south. Southern men have ceased to be
sectional as they were in the antl-slavery
days, when even Henry Clay of Kentucky
was not deemed loyal enough to the dom
inant interest. In congress as we'll as in
trade they work in harmony with the
northern men and show strong DISPOSE
ton to act in concert with the west, which
has much IN common with the new south.
Slavery having disappeared there is no
reason why the natural sentiment should
not reassert itself in the south. 1t was by
ardent devotion to that sentiment that
Jackson and Clay acquired such popu-
larity in the north, and it is by that way
that the new generation of southern men
can best attain distinction and power.
-Four years ago the desire for change
of administration was strong. Many re-
publicans had become apathetic, while
others held that national unity might be
promoted by the advent of the demo-
cratic party to power for at least one
term. Only for the support which Blaine
received from the democratic masses this
detection would have been still more an
parent.
This year the issue has changed to the
tariff, and the two parties have locked
horns with old-time ferocity. The mug
wumps, who were so active in opposing
Blaine, have well-nigh disappeared as a
factor in politics. The prohibitionists
have become less aggressive and although
they have placed ticket in the field,
many of them will cast their votes where
they will count for something. The
course is therefore clear for the two great
parties. Both are in position to nomi-

STATISTICS.

Governor Leslie has done well in re-
Winding assessors of the duties entalleo
on them in the collection OF statistics
The governor discerns the growing I'M
portance of statistical information athome
and abroad. Accordingly he is DESTROYS
that Montana shall not suffer by any neg,
lect on the part of those whose duties in
this respect are well defined by the statu,
! ties.
The need for this vigigance is great
While the national government and many
states compile carefully information re-
garding trade, industry and population
Montana is only able to make beggarly
showing of authentic statistics. AS re-
CARDS population, for instance, people
are still misled into quoting the United
States census of 1880, which gave this ter
ritory only $4,000 people. In weighing
our claims to statehood, for instance, it is
common to make moderate allowance
for the increase in population since IN
1880, and then conclude that we have not
people enough to entitle us to enter the
union of states. Such blunders would
be prevented if Montana had accurate re-
turns which would be accepted as con
elusive by the leading statistical works.
As regards the population of cities, the
available information is still more defec-
tive. Helena is still credited in geogra-
phies with only 10000 people. Butte is
accorded only scanty population, and
Great Falls is not named at all. The in
nux of people that resulted from railroad
construction finds Of course no place in
the census WHICH was compiled "before
the railroad came"
As regards trade, mining and agricul- !
ture, our statistics are likewise wofully
defective. The banker, capitalist, manu-
facturer or politician who seeks accurate
official information on any of these
matters can not find it. He
must depend mainly on esti-
mates which cannot be readily OBJ !
tanned. If he finds any of these inaccur-
ate he dstrusts all and falls back upon ;
the United States returns, which are as
defective in all the matters referred to as
they are in regard to population. Asthe
result, the reputation Of the territory |
suffers, its resources are estimated
and both population and money are at
tracted to places which make display of
accuracy in their statistical information.
In order to place herself on a footing
with other states and territories Montana
should have a statistical bureau which
would act Independent of the assessors,
who are not in n position to gather all the
facts that are needed. Such bureau
would take a comprehensive view of the
and could issue reports which
would command respect in Wall street as
we'll as throughout the entire country.

The Montana Central is beating all the
records in the delivery of freight. 1t re-
Gently delivered two carloads of beer at
Helena, which were only six days on the
way from Milwaukee. The journey over
the Manitoba and Montana Central was
made in four days, while that from Mil
waukee took two days. The Journey
from st. Paul was thus made at the rate
Oh @oo miles per day, while that from
Milwaukee averaged less than 200 miles
each day.

So absorbing is popular interest
in spiritualistic manifestations that
the greatest minds OF the country
have handled the subject from all
stand'points, and after thorough
investigation they are nonplused
and can offer DO explanation, save

Opera House was packed with
anxious multitu4es last night to
witness the remarkable and unex.
plainable manifestations of the
wonderful Stcens. They use no
darkened cabinet, but use the stage
in the full glare of the gas light.
For two hours and hal they nys-
tilted aud COMPOUNDED those present.
Mrs. Steen is a spirit medium of
world ren0wn, and the feats shs
accomplished last night are indeed
mystitying and truly marvellous.
How on earth a piano will rise off
the stage and float through air like
a feather, and all the while play
with unseen hands, passes our com
prehension. Among the many
marvellous feats was the spirit hand
that hoated over the heads of the
vast audience. The performance
simply defes criticism. See it for

Closing Exercises of Sar.
dis School.

Il WIS the privilege of the writer
to attend Miss Anna May Binion's
school en- Friday, the 7th list. She
has had a floarishing school for
Ave months this year, assisted by
her father, Rev.. MBL Biriou.
During the three months public
term, the school averaged between
thirty and forty pupils. Since
that time it has not been so large,
as some of the children had to stop
to work.
The patrons and friends met at
the school house on Friday, with
their baskets and after listening to
the Rotations till about half past
eleven o'clock, the school took re-
cess till two.
At IL all were invited to two
good long tables, placed under a
nice shade of gum trees with these
good things spread on them, to-wit;
Fried chicken, chicken pie, coune
try ham. kid pies, cake and various
other good things. There were
some farmers that did the subject
ample justice, for instance, E A
Ward, John T Gambel, w w
Kirksey, r A Stokes. and one saw
mil man and various others that /
cannot mention.
Dinner over, at two o'clock We
returned to the house to hear the
geography, grammar. arithmetic,
spelling and reading elasses exam
ined, and then came the speaking
and Dialogues, and then the class
that did not know much, but knew
a little about most everything, they
could tell who was the first man
and the first woman, the oldest
man, wisest man, &c. They could
tell the shape of the earth. its tails
est mountains and largest rivers.
Well, I suppose Grover Cleveland
crnld have have told little more
bout the thrift than they could,
hat / am satisfied that thew knew
things that he did not know, and
upon the whole, we all decided
that We had the right teacher at
the right place. Some of this class
