We notice that our Republican friends
on the other side of the range, in Park
county, are already taking steps toward
the organization of their party. This is
commendable, and we hope that their
Democratic brethren will follow the ex-
ample as speedily as possible. We hear
it whispered that the Democrats are
slightly discomposed at what they be-
lieve to be the complexion of the new
county of Park. We trust that this feel
ing will soon give away to reflective
Judgment and that the Democrats of
Park will enter i:;to the impending con.
test with an earnestness that accom-
plishes success. The fact that the Re.
publicans confidently believe that they
have got "things their own way" will
without doubt do much to weaken their
strength.

In this issue we present an article from
the pen of Judge L A. Luce ofBozeman.
on that all important subject of school
lands. The Judge has written similar
letter to Hon. J. X. Toole, suggesting to
him the necessity of law that will
cover the case as it now exists in this
territory. A law is imperatively needed
that will not allow these lands to remain
idle and useless until the territory be-
comes state. Under the present state
of affairs too, the lands are not bringing
the schools one cent, when they should
be constant source of revenue to the
schools. We commend the article to the
people of the territory and recommend
that all who are interested write their
views to our delegate in congress.
