1t is intimated, merely intimated, that
a rich corporation of eastern capitalists
with Heman Clark at the head are try
ing to get right of way through tho
Grow Reservation to build railroad
which will have its terminous ostensibly

be ehappy about and they smile according

the main line of the Northern Pacific in
he Syicinitv of Billings. We imagined
that our friends of the "macic CITY" were
so well acquainted with the said Mr..
Clark that it would be some time before
they allowed themselves to get hoarse
with shouting over anything he might
promise to do. Perhaps they think he
intends to make amends. Don't believe
it for a minute. The only ambition
Heman CLARK has is to make money.
He is too cold. .blooded to be anyhody's
friend.
Then again it is not likely that Con-
gress and especially the President is
going to allow any more railroads to
traverse the Grow Reservation, until a
portion of it is thrown open to settle.

In the meanwhile word comes to us
that the Rocky Fork people are pushing

very few indeed who believed that the
Rocky Fork could be built in the winter
time; but thew have misjudged the ie-

earliest inception of this road it has been
surrounded with difficulties that would

strengthened in this belief from the pro

through this order, to acquire land
through the homestead or pre- emption
nets. while old settlers on railroad lands
are fearful lest their valuable rights be
taken away from them. From the best
information we can obtain in the matter
it stands as follows "The act of 1887
directs the secretary of the interior ''to
Immediately adjust" all land grants.
The law contemplates clearly that the
secretary shall at once fully adjust all
land grants as between the companies
and the United States, and then after
such adjustment is completed that the
residue of the railway withdrawal and
grant, if any, shall be restored to the
public domain open to pro cmptloa and
homestead settlers. How has the sec
rotary complied with this legislative
mandate as regards the Northern
Pacific land grant? He has not gone on
to adjust" the land grant within the
meaning of the act. But he has sub
stantially and only done this: "You
land seekers who desire it may go to the
local land Office and upon thirty days
notice you may institute contest with
the Northern Pacific railway company
for quarter section of land within a
part of the indemnity withdrawal for

TIE TARIFF.


This is the presidential year, or In
other words, the year in which the
people of the states elect president Tor
the territories as well as themselves
The great question of the year is going
to be the tariff question and although
the people of this section are loath to
take an interest in the matter it is one
that will force itself upon them and the
sooner they b,come familiar with it the
better. True, we have no vote in the
matter of president but the tariff ques-
ton promises to affect, to some degree,
our local politics, and there is certainly
nothing to be Tossed by studying up
this, the leading question of the hour.
We only hope that the issues involved
in the coming campaign will be of such
Importance as tot cause both parties to
forget the men aspiring for Office, and
consequently fail to bring forth the mud
batteries that are too often used for the
purpose of assailing private character
under the excuse that a mans private
life becomes public history as soon as
he runs for Office, In his message, when
the president threw down the gauge of
battle, Mr.. Cleveland made critical
analysis of the assumption that the tar
if benefits any considerable proportion
of the people of this country by the use
of the figures of the last census, which
show that only small fraction could he
benefited, and that so far as the num-
ber of these who are really wage earncrs
is concerned, the advantages they gain
in one direction are more than offset by
the disadvantages which the tarlh im
poses on them in other directions. Inc
farmers, he contends, gain nothing'
while they pay large proportion OF the
tax; vnd even sheep growers derive
mere nominal benefit from the protec :
ton afforded by the duty on imported
wool.
As n conclusive argument that the
present high rates of duties are not
necessary for the protection OF the ihaH-
ufactures of this country lie calls asten
tion to the fact that manufacturers have
entered into combinations called trusts
having for their object the regulation o
featured by them. THIS they do to pre-

There ID something to consider in the daily
expenses for the household necessities, which
in the aggregate Of the year amount to good
deal. The ethics Of buying and selling seem
to be for the vendor to get all he can, and ior
the purchaser to see that he don't get too
much. But whnt is too muchf 1t Is almost
profound question, and presents the strange
paradox that the dearest in many things is
often the cheapest. Certainly this is SO In
food where health is involved, and in RENE
dies which restore health after IT has been
Impaired, Il is certainly so in clothing; for
q cheap suit that will hardly last one season Is
dearer than the one which will last two sen
sons, the difference in price being reasonable.
So in shoes, and the like: Recurring 70 the

the empires natural enemy, is not a fact.
But with the severance of Count Won
Moltke from active command of the
army is removed a reminder of the
Franco-Prussian war, which the APP
pointnlent of no other general to succeed
him can fully replace, and for this rea-
son, ii for no other, the displace-
ment Of the aged commander is
perhaps to be hailed with satisfaction.
OF course, during the small remainder of
the life of Count Won Moltke his counsel
and influence will to a certain extent
prevail, but they will never again be
given with the same measure of author
ity, or received with the same submits
sion as formerly. What effect Gen. Won
Waldersee's appointment will have, if
any, in the ministration of the military
establishment or in allaying a%pprehen-
sion of a French attack remains, of
course, to be seen, though it is not be-
lieved the new commander is as
eager to provoke a conflict with
France as he has been represented
to be. A great deal Of the talk of Won
Waldersee's anxiety to administer a fin
ishing stroke to France, and thus settle
for all time the question of supremacy,
has been based on the new emperor's
well known friendship for him and the
kaiser's supposed desire TIC further hui
initiate Prussia's foe of 1870. This kind
of talk formed a large share of the pre-
vailing gossip just prior to and immedi-
ately after Emperor William II. sue
ceeded to the throne, but it has
been very slightly INDUCED in since
the kaiser's haste to propitiate
the cza made it evident that
the young mans war disposition had
been very greatly overestimated. Neither
the emperor nor the field marshal gen
eral will be likely to take any step tend
ing to involve Germany in a military
struggle without the advice of Prince
Bismarck, and In this view the change lie
regarded as having little or no signif.
canoe, except as before stated, in placing
in the background a figure whose pres
ence at the head of the army was a con
slant reminder of events of the past that
We're better forgotten.

Lynched a Negro.

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 15.-Beverly
Robinson, while conducting a young lady
TO church at Utica, was met on the side
walk by a negro named Boo Broom, with
some colored girls, who refused to give
up any of the way. Broom cursed him
and pushed the young lady with whom
Robinson was walking off the sidewalk.
AT 11:30 that night Robinson and some
friends were standing on the street in
front of a store, when Broom and four
other negroes came up, and without
warning or p~rovocation, commenced
shooting at the white men. DR.. Holiday
was shot through the head and Armand
w tie through the hip. Robinson caught
Broom from behind and held him, but
was unable to prevent him from empty
ing his pistol. Frank Wallace drew his
weapon, but before he could fire it he
was shot through the arm and disabled.
Broom was arrested, but his companions
fled. There was a legal investigation at
Utica, after which an angry crowd took
Broom To the cemetery on the edge of
town, and hanged him. The others will
be lynched when caught.
