TIE New York Times declares that il
the next Presidential canvass is fought
between Blaine and Cleveland on the tariff
issue Roscoe ConkIing has announced be
will take the stump for Cleveland. The
well-kn"wn hostility OF the great New
Yorker to Blaine caused him to refrain
from throwing the weight OF his influence

THE DAKOTA 1 L

The Springer bill for the admission o,
dakota does not meet with the entire ap.
prevail Of the people OF that Territory. The
Bismarck Tribune finds fault with it in the
nrst place because it does rot provide for
the Territory's admission this year. It
declares it a great %injusti, that Dakota
should not have the right to participate in
the coming Presidential election. It feels
specially aggrieved at the provision in the
bill which delays the admission of the State
after its Constitution has been formed un.
til . special act OF Congress 10 passed at
the next session approvingit it's Constitution.
1t regards as specially foolish another pro.
vision Of the bill that aholishes all counties
having g population OF less than 1000 &C.
cording to the census OF 1885. and the
consolidation OF the territory comprising
the same into new counties of not less
than 5000 inhabitants. 1t declares this
will produce chaos in new counties where
court houses have been built. records pro.
vided and where the machinery of govern.
ment 10 in full blast. It will abolish ffty-
two counties. The Tribune declares that
many OF the counties not having a single
settler lve years ago now have five hum
dred to two thousand population. Dako.
tas population has certainly increased at
q phenomenal rate, but it remains to be
seen whether the dreadful experience of the
pressnt winter will operate as an induce.
ment to maintain settlement there st the
rate it has shown in the past.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC PATENTS

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC PATENTS.
At the meeticg OF the Board of Trade on
Saturday evening, that body placed itself
in line with the Helena Board on the sub.
ject Of the Northern Pacific land grants.
It's delegates to the convention to be held
in Helena on the 7th of February will go
there prepared to cooperate heartily ia the
deliberations, and to spare no effort indi.
vidually in checking the threatened danger
to the mineral land OF the Territory. As
was shown by the United States Supreme
Court decision quoted in yesterdays
MINER, the impregnabi'ity of a
United States patent and the
insuperable difficulty attending any
effort to annul it or ever correct it
render it necessary to the vital interests of
the Territory that these patents when is
sued to the Northern Pacific road under its
grant Of rigat-of-way leave the known but
not developed mineral lands upon them
open to the same rights of discovery by
the prOspector as at present. A suggestion
of Warren TooIe, who is nos in town, in
discussing the question, certainly seems
most cffectuaffy to reach the case. His
idea is that, in the patents OF alternate
sections to the road, the right to mine any
minerals contained in the same should
be preserved iuviolable to the
discove-er just as it at present exists. 1t
is utterly impossible now or in any definite
length OF time ~ declare with certainty
what section is underlaid with mineral or
to what extent. That can only be devel-
oped as the years roll on. 1t is just as
firmly believed as though it were actually
demonstrated hat the mountainous
ranges OF Montana and Idaho contain ia.
Vulnerable veins of mineral of greater or |
less richness. and if the Northern Pacific |
procured it's patents to eighty miles OF
odd sections on it's right Of way
through this wealth-containipg region it
would remove from the right of discovery
a domain rich beyond computation. But
it. in the patents to it's alternate s~ectious,
the right OF discovery and possession OF
mineral lodes were retained to the public
as they at present exist, and the title to
them expressly denied to the company, the
public would be in the same attitude to
these mineral-bearing sections as it at
present is. The terms OF the original grant
would be complied with. for that graz ex.
pressly exempted mineral land from It's
and such a provision az indi-
Gated inserted in the patents would simply

THE ASSIGNMENTS MADE.

The Supreme Court on Saturday made
tho assignments ofthe judges to the various
districts. Judge McLeary, as already con.
coded, comes to the Second District, and
Judge De Wolf takes the Third which Judge
McLeary vacates. 1t is understood that
the latter gentleman will be in Butte TO-
day, after which he will proceed
to Texas for the purpose Of bringing
his family to Montana. Judge De Wolf, it
is understood, will make Bozeman his
place of residence, but Judge McLeary will
defer in that matter to the preferences of
his family. 1t is hoped that they will find
tho social conditions Of Butte such an in
ducement as to outweigh the adventitious
attractions of other towns in the district
and thus secure to Butte the presence of
J Judge except when holding court elsewhere,
q great convenience to the members OF the
bar. There should be no effort spared to
persuade Judge McLeary to establish the
United States Court here, as he is reported
to be already half persuaded to do.
