presses the belief that the Nationalist Will
gain three members in Ulster IT. the mex
Parliamentary election.

THE EFFECT OF DISCIPLINE.
School Children do Better Than Their Parents
Would Have Done.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Tbe wood work in the
Irving public school engine room took fire
this afternoon. One thousand children were
in the building when the smoke filled it, and
for q little while . panic was imminent.
Though the pupils left their seats, the teach
ers held the doors shut until they could give
the danger signals, which the children
obeyed. At the first stroke of the gong they
caught up their wraps and books; at the
second they formed in line, and at the third
they marched in order to the street. Out of
the one thousand children but one lost his
presence Of mind. He was q lad of II, and
became so excited that he threw his slate
and books through 3 window and then
dashed his fist through = pane of glass. His
teacher forced him into line after he bad
badly cut himself. This was the only acct.
dent, and the building was not damaged very
much.

BITTER ROOF ~LATHEADs.

From . petition published in this issue It
would seem the people Of Bitter Root valley,
and Of Aissoula county generally, are will
ing to spare Flatheads from that county to
ill up the Jocko reservation instead OF hav'
ing Crees and other tribes come down from
the North. II, - stated, all or any Of the
Indians in the Bitter Root valley who took
lands under the act Of 1872, desire to sell
their lands in that valley, which were
granted to them in severalty, but ~inaltenably,
and remove to the Jocko reservation, It will
be we'll If q Just law can be devised permit
ting them to do 90. 1t was because . mum.
Der Of them refused 10 remove from the
Bitter Root, aud with Charlois Is leader
threatened to make serious trouble, that the
alternative of going to the Jocko or taking
lands in severalty was offered, and 1t was to
secure to settlers there who were legally
trespassers on Indian lands, titleto the same,
that extremely liberal concessions were
made to Cbarlois' demand. It was desired
to have them sever their tribal relations and
by taking lands in severalty encourage them
to abandon their nomadic habits and accept
either pastoral life or the more advanced
condition of husbandry, but it was only
under the force of circumstance that these
lands were granted them in the Bitter Root.
1t seems now that many have left their lands
and Joined the tribe in the Jocko, where
they are but little hindrance or annoyance
20 Others, if they stay there, and that they
are willing to part With their untitled Bitter
Root farms. It is to be hoped such . Law
will be enacted. Let those who are assimi.
latine to the habits and industries of the
whites remain If they will, but let the others,
If they will, Join their tribe, where, among
their own people, with generously broad
acres At disposal, they may try the severalty
and husbandry systems by coming to it
gradually, Is many Of those o there are
doing. There was . sympathy for them in
their affection for the land Of their fathers,
and the heroic resolve of many of them to
remain there, was . manly spirit that in
higher forms Of civilization and government
would be admired IS = noble patriotism ; but
II they have found deeper attachment for
their friends than the Valley Beautiful, and
their longing for association of kindred now
the Jocko is stronger than the love of
home land, they should be permitted to re-
consider, to sell their lands for the best
prices they will bring, and 60 on the general
reservation without annuities. Their pres
ence in the Bitter Root is more or less .
hindrance to the citizens of that valley and
the enterprises and institution Of civilization
they encourage and desire, and which the
Indians either do not desire or are Indifferent
to. These facts need no application, and
Delegate Toole can secure the legislation
asked it will be better for all concerned.

CINCINNATI, Jan. A.-Howard Douglas,
Supreme Chancellor of the world of the
Knights Of Pythias, has suspended the juris-
diction of the Grand Lodge of the State of
Pennsylvania for disobedience Of orders.
The d%isobedience consists in refusing to

Grand Lodge to appear before him January
81, to show cause why the chatter should not
be arrested. 3

less than $4,000 900 pounds, d%istancing by

We are glad to see the leading journals of
Montana are promptly approving and aiding
in the PROJECT to establish . School of Mines
in Montana, under the auspices of the Col
lege of Montana. 1t will be but = short time,
We believe, until it will have strength and
purpose to stand alone as an independent
and successful institution, and pending that
time It could not be under better auspices
than the fostering care Of the College of
Montaua-an institution that has already
secured for itself . name and reputation for
good government and work not exceiled in
practical results by the Oldest and best Col.
leges of the country. The work of estab-
fishing the School of Mines is progressing
very favorably, and We have no doubt its
course and commencement will soon be an

that an occasion of the poor service nov

FRIENDLY AND FRANK

Mr.. Nelson Bennett, in an interview At
Butte, has stirred up that city on the desira-
bility of building . road from Butte via
Pipestone to Three Forks. HI gives rea-
sons why the Northern Pacific will back the
enterprise, and shows where Butte is losing
heavily BY the lack of 1t. The resignation
of Gen. Anderson as Chief Engineer of the
N. p, and the accession of Mr.. Hendricks to
that position, is alleged Is being . hopeful
sign that the Engineering question will be
re opened. It was not Gen. Anderson,
however, that Mr.. Keith had the "unpleas.
antness" with, but Col. Dodge, resident En-
gineer, who We believe has also resigned.
Mr.. Keith, if we recollect Alright, ignored
Col. Dodge, and reported to Gen. Anderson
direct; hence the rupture. 1t does seem to
us Butte is u~nenterprising and discordant to
= degree extremely Injurious to itself. The
Board of Trade, which could put the Pipe.
struction of the road in . few months, does
not seem to do anything; and its citizens, in
the matter of the street railway, have shown
. spirit of obstruction that is perfectly as
founding. With the men Of brains, energy
and wealth Butte has, its lack of public
spirit, unity and ambition in all that pertains
to the general interest and public welfare,
is the worst case of moss back we have ever
seen. Why don't the city, with its wonder
full advantages, drop its factional antago-
nisms, shake itself out of the deadly
lethargy that prostrates it, and with = tithe
Of the public enterprise that characterizes its
citizens in individual pursuits, lay victorious
hold upon the fruits that are ripened to It's
hands, and otherwise will rot on tho tree Of
opportunity?

The Independent says At the Knights of
Labor Ball given in Butte this week,
ssthe dances are to be named after the par
ticular friends Of labor in the Territory, and
the Helena Independent and Butte Mining
Journal are the only newspapers thus hon.
ored." We are quite sure the Knights have
made . mistake. II they will recollect, the
NEW NORTHWEST told them in good plain
English at the outset Of their career in this
Territory the very serious blunders and
wrongs they were guilty Of, and Of which
they took heed, too, although many Of them
took ofense also. Now, there is no friend
90 true Is the one who will tell one Of his
errors and seek to set him in the right way;
and If the Knights have omitted the New
NORTHWEST from their list they have COM
mitted another error, for that was just what
We lid. We are not going to feel aggrieved
II this suggestion was not followed, but We ask
thinking, reasonable Knights, to recall the
history Of the Order in Montana, consider If
We were not entirely right and they entirely
wrong In the opinions for which they for.
mslly "boycotted" this paper two or three
years ago. We do not say this boastinely It

1T was reported . few days ago that Judge
McLeary had been assigned to this Judicial
District, and from the tone Of the Butte pa
pers after the announcement, they accepted
the situation IS gracefully as possible, after
having made . gallant fight for DeWolf. It
turns ont now thut no such action was taken
by the Supreme Court but it probably will
be before adjournment. While in Difference
to the wishes Of Butte we have not entered
into the controversy over this matter, there
IL no question the authority TO assign the
judges rests with the Supreme Court, and
thst with an appointive judiciary from
abroad the rule of rotation by seniority of
commission from the less to the more impor-
LIANT Districts, is . good one. We are in.
formed, further, that It was with this express
understanding Judge Bach was assigned to
the Fourth District, and he is entitled to his
rights. II, Is now intimated, Judge McLeary
goes East to accept some more lucrative
Office, it may be yet settled satisfactorily to
