The resolutions passed by the Directors
OF the Board OF Trade last night requesting
the Northern Pacific to make ARA ngements
that will enable passengers from Granite
and Philipsburg to reach Butte and Helena
within Il moderate time after starting on
the journey are in recognition of a crying
evil. To say that after reaching Drum
mond at $50 81. IN. it should be necessary
to endure a wait OF about nine hours be-
fore the journey can be resumed ia absurd
in this age OF progress. The simplicity Of the
remedy, all that is necessary being to con-
t!nue the run eastward to Garrison, where
passengers to Butte can meet a Montana
Union train in an hour or two after getting
there, ought TO insure its adoption and the
concession OF the request made as soon as
it reaches headquarters.

A REPORT is in circulation that the Union
Pacific has withdrawn from competition
with the Northern Pacific and Manitoba to
common points in Montana, and in proof
Of this is the statement that shippers to
Butte are unabl" to procure similar rates
over this line to those that can be obtained
over the Manitoba or Northern Pacific to
Helena. In view of the fact that the two
latter roads are certain to be here next
summer, this policy of the Union Pacific
seems shortsishted. When they arrive here
the Union Pacific will be obliged to meet
their rates and then Mt one will regard it as
q concession at all. To in outsider, the
true policy for the latter road would be to
consolidate its friendships among shippers
by a liberal concession before the time when
it will be Obliged TO make it TO retain it's
share OF the traffic.

in furnishing the desired information and
the reason for withholding the information
was that 30 many mothers in New YORK
give the names of men as fathers OF their
children who may not be the fathers or
who, being the fathers, would not like TO
have it known, that terrible exposures
would follow. 1t seems that it is a CON-
mon practice in New York for women to DO
this, in giving information as to the birtn

GOVERNOR LESLIE is reported to have
been well acquainted with Treasurer Tate,
OF Kentucky, and to be utterly at a loss to
account for his getting behind" with the
State funds. He was not a man ofextrava-
giant habits and had enjoyed Il fair salary
for years. He did not speculate, but it was
stated that he had been in the habit for
years OF cashing notes for State officials
and others who promised to take them up
with vouchers he knew due them and who
simply failed to do SO. Any man will run
behind who will practice the little game
and allow himself to be stood off" by false
friends.
