WASHINGTON, September 20.-The Mill
tary Affairs Commute of the Senate, has
just had printed, with map, the papers for.
warded by Gen. Ruger, of the department
Of Dakota, in relation to the proposed en-
largement of the Missoula Military Reserva.
ton in Montana. The reservation is too
small, and by mistake most of the buildings
have been located on the school section.
Under date Of Aug. 20 Gen. Ruger writes as
follows: II would suggest that such steps
te taken as may be necessary to secure for
the Post the east half of section SO, town
13 north, range 20 west, Montana, on which
are most Of the Post buildings, and also the
northwest quarter of the same section. With
respect to the acquisition of the southwest
quarter section Is, town 13 north, range 20
west, and the east third of the northeast
quarter of section IS, town 13 north, range
20 west, recommended in 1883, and now by

necessary for target range, both tracts: it is
understood, have been certified to the North

company, and in the absence of information

AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.
Affecting Northern Pacific Lands, Passes the
House.

WASHINGTON, Septembe 26.-The COM
mittee on public lands reported, and the
House passed without debate to-day the bill
to forfeit certain lands granted the Northern
Pacific railroad. It provides that all lands
granted to the Northern Pacific by the act of
July 2, 1864, except such as are adjacent to
to and co.terminous with the road con-
structed prior to June 4, 1879, except right
of way through the remainder of the route,
including necessary grounds for stations,
buildings, ETC., excepting also lands included
within the limits Of any village, town or
city, shall be declared to be forfeited and
restored to the public domain. because of
the failure Of the company to preform the
conditions on which the grant was made.

A Political Stampede.
From the Butte Inter Mountain, 10th.

From the Butte Inter Mountain, 10th.
One of the cheering signs of the times of
the Republican party in the pending Terri
torial canvass, is the large number of for
merly prominent Democrats who are joining
the party of protection. In Beaverhead
County, Judge L. A. Brown, who was elect
to the Legislative Council by the Democrats
is now Republican. w. B. Carter, hither-
to Chsirman of the County Democratic
Committee of Beaverhead, has resigned, and
will refuse to vote for or support Mr.. Clark.
And L. &. Frychie is the third prominent
resident of Southern Montana who has cut
loose and avows his hostility to free trade.
But this is not all. B. e. KIngsbury,
Patrick Clark and John Noyes, of the Coeur
d'Alene Silver-Lead Company, are not Dem.
Gratis for this Campaign. Mr.. Clark says the
whole Cnur d'Alene country is solid for the
Republican ticket and protection, and he
marvels that any miner or mine owner
should be anything but Republican on the
present issue between the two parties. John
Noyes declared himself before he went east.
Mr.. Kingsbury is not only q strong protect.
ionist, but his faith in the common sense of
the people of Montana is so great that he
yesterday offered to wager 500 each on
every County going for Carter. And it is
significant that none of the barrel candidates
friends cared to put up a cent on the propo-
sition.
We should like some of our esteemed
contemporaries to give some explanation of
the changing political convictions of so
many men who have hitherto, worked in
the Democratic traces. 1t looks like DEM
ocratlc stampede.

There is now raging in the State. con-
test probably - warm as any that has ever
taken place between any two political par
ties in the World. It Is the clash of ideas,
and 1t is upon one single question, and that
single question Is
THE QUESTION OF TARIFF.
It is not = new question; during the ad-
ministration of George Washington seven
aud signed by him. Thomas jefferson. who
is sometimes called the father Of the DEM
ocratic party, was the most ardent protec-
ZIONIST of his day. Andrew Jackson, who
followed him as the next great Landmark in
the line of Democratic history, was an ardent,
uncompromising protectionist. 1t was upon
this very question of protection that John
G. Calhoun Was held up as proper subject
to be hung higher than Haman, aud I'M to
1888 the whole policy of the United States
was directed towards the protection of home
labor, home industry and home manufacture.
John G. Calhoun himself was in 1916 and
thereafter = warm supporter of protective
tariff. But there came . time when he
changed his mind. He said here, "These

for his labor when he owns the laborer.
His labor costs him nothing, and, therefore,
we of the South can compete with anybody.n
But the men of the North could not stand
that. They had to be protected ; they could
not work on the same basis of wages that
was being paid to Southern laborers and
slaves.
Now, Andrew Jackson was in his day .

would recognize the Democratic party under
Grover Cleveland could he be Fesurrected.
[Loud Applause.] The Democratic party
to-day is representing principles directly
opposite to those of Jackson's day.
In 1887, If history tells the truth, this
country and Its people we're reduced to such
a necessity that strong men travelled from
one end of the land 10 the other seeking
some employment whereby they might earn
their daily bread. Factories were closed
down, and tie people were in such, dispair
through the workings of the compromise
tariff law of 1888 that in the election that
followed, Van Buren,, the leader of the
great and powerful Democratic party of
New York, was showed under completely
by the protective tariff men just as Grover
Cleveland will be in this controversy.

There never has been Northern Democrat
reelected to that Office since the govern

CLEvELAND's bugaboo, at which all the
hair on the Democratic party has been com
manded to stand on end, is the $143, ,00O, 900
surplus. He proposed free list schedule
and q reduced tariff on foreign manufactures
and commodities, as 3 means to reduce it
when all history shows Increased importa-
tions under low tariffs, inevitably swell th 9
receipts of revenue therefrom. Under the
Mills bill, the revenue would increase des-
pite free wool, lead, salt, lumber, tin plates,
chemicals, ETC., now imported annually to
the amount of $4e0, ,000, 900, and the "sur-
plus'' would swell instead of decreasing.
But now comes the Senate's Finance Com
mlttee and reports the Republican tariff bill,
which will reduce the revenue, and therefore
the surplus, ,s65, ,oO0, 900. This is largely from
internal taxes now levied on our domestic
products, and that should be wiped out as
soon Is the Government can get along with
out the money derived from these internal
taxes. This is reduction tha: will reduce.
It will lift burden off our own people. 1t
will prevent increase of the surplus. It will
accomplish just what the Democratic party
pretends It desires accomplished. It will,
therefore, be interesting to see how its lead
ers will evade acquiescence in the plan pre-
pared, without making themselves still more
ridiculous before the world, and especially
the electors of the Republic.

THE NEW NORTHWEST: DEF
THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.

It took the Democratic party from Dec
ember 9Th, 1887, until July 2srd, 1888, to
frame The Mills Tariff Bill, notwithstanding
the Democratic majority of the Committee
sat In secret session to incubate 1t, refusing
10 receive open testimony, or to hear labor
ing men or manufacturers on points involv-
ed therein. Finally the hatch was made,
after nearly eight months sitting, and, al
though in less than three months after full
hearing of all desiring to be heard, the Re-
publican Senate Bill has baen prepared by
the majority of the Finance Committee IS

ulous complaints by the opposition at the

Bill size, and will occupy five hours in read

ed ct from those heretofore made public,
but it will present the Republican idea Of
proper Tariff revision, and doubtless pass the
Senate rs . substitute for the Mills Bill.
The Democratic party, at the behest Of
Cleveland, is not in favor Of = protective
tariff. 1t favors free trade and reduced
tariff in many respects, and leans toward 1t
in others, declaring in one breath declaring
that protective tariff is an imposition upon
the people, and pleading in the next, that
the average reduction of the Mills Tariff
Bill was only five per cent, reducing the
average rate from Al cents to AZ. The
trouble in the latter case is, that being op-
posed to the principle Of protective tariff,
they have set out to prune the tree, BY clip
ping off the roots with sectional regard,
while Republicans, favoring protection,
would lay the pruning knife to the limbs.
It is fair to anticipate, under the circumstan-
ces, that the Senate Bill will be one that
will command the full approval of all devot.

been furnished by the subcommittee, will
be reported in full in the committee tomor-

bill will reduce the revenue shout sixty five

It is the present purpose of the majority

ONE thing that should bs eliminated from
all reputa able papers is anonymous personal
assaults. This we hold is correct under all
circumstances. It is the justice to which
every man is entitled. Even the criminal
in the dock is accorded the right to be con :
fronted by his accuser. Why should the
citizen be denied this right by the press,
especially if he be one whom his fellow
citizens has honored by nomination for
Office? And get too frequently newspapers
admit to their columns over fictitious sigma
lures violent attacks upon candidates, or
allegations concerning them, and the person.
ality if the author is kept sedulously con-
cealed. This is not fair. It is not just.
The accused and the public are entitled to
known who the accuser is. These are not
the days of inquisitions, but the method is
q relic of them. We trust the press of Mon
tana will be superior to such methods in this
campaign. 1t is not from modesty a man
conceals his name in such cases. Let us
have no bushwhacking, but give candidates
q fair sho ", and then if they are not equal
to the occasion, let the better man win. It
will tend to keep the campaign clean, and
serve to expel from political contests q
method Of disparsgement that cannot under
any circumstances be justified. If candi-
date cannot meet the charges Of reputable
accuser, he is responsible to the public for
the weight those charges carry, but he
should not be made the victim Of anony.
nous assaults, and the editors of Montana
are the ones Who may absolutely determine
whether or not this style of warfare shall be
permitted. We hope it will be barred.
