contemplated, though nothing has been

A CHINOOK
A Land Grant Decision.

SANTA FE, n. NJ, January "a The de.
cision Of the Territorial Supreme Cont in
the Canon del Aqua grant case has been the
subject Of much comment. 1t is the opin-
ion OF those who have studied land grant
affairs. and the opinion appears to be eus.
tanned by the records in the Surveyor Gen
erals Office, that the Canon del Aqua case
ia peculiar and the facts pertaining thereto
will hardly find a counterpart in the case
OF any other grant in New Mexico. In this
case Surveyor General Pelham expressly
dIsclalned any jurisdiction u the question
OF title to the San Pedro mine, recommend
ing only confirmation OF the title to the
land grant. The point decided in the case
under the particular facts which belong to
1t cannot justify any opinion which may
arise under a different state OF facts. 1t is
not now believed the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court will materially affect
the status Of the mineral lands on many
OF the mineral land grants in the Terri
tOry.

The triumph which the science of tele.

OF perfection to which it has attained were
eXcsnpliied in q striking way only last Sun
day. On that day Il very successful test

Railway were connected with those of the

WOMEN IN POLITICS..

There has been sent to this Office a cal
for an International council OF women tc
be held at Washington on the 25th Of
March with a request that it be published,
1t emanates, of course, from the short.
haired sisterhood. The appeal urging it
lays stress on the movement being for the
improvement of woman's position in the
State, the church, the home, and ia educa.
tional and Industrial life, and the list OF
which wilicome before the council embraces
most OF the names known wherever female
suffrage has been heard of. While in sym.
pathy with every movement that tends to
improve the mental and physical condition
of the human race, both men and women, a
movement having for it's object the intro
dnction of women into politics does not
command that general approval here that
would be accorded to one OF a purely phil
anthroplc and useful character. The
women OF Montana are more ambitious to
shine as us ful helpmeets to their husbands,
from the days when as pioneers they shared
the dangers incurred in subduing a savage

control Of party conventions. The general
condemnation by the press OF Washington
Territory OF the recent passage OF a woman
suffrage lawt there augurs ill for the continu-
ance of domestic felicity there where it
seems only to nave introduced an element
OF discord. The anti-suffragists will spare
no effort to effect d repeal Of the law which
is obnoxious to SO large a portion of the
both male and female. 1t is
said that its passage destroys all hope OF
obtaining the annexation Of the Idaho Pan
handle to Washington, which will now BE- |
as much opposed to that proposition He
before it was favorable. In So far as the
deliberations OF the proposed international
OF women are directed to the amel- |
i%oratiOn of the condition of their sisters of
the working classes, they will meet with
sympathy and approval from everyone;
but as it is more than likely that the gath
sring has for it's object d~evising efforts to
push the claims OF the strong-minded sister
hood for political recognition, the proceed
nss OF the council will be regarded with
more curiosity than interest. 1t has a field
Of effort in which, if it chose to labor ener
it could enlist the cooperation OF
he thinking men OF all parties and accom-
lass OF women sorely in need OF it.

If Senator Stewart can get the bill
through Congress which he introduced or
Monday, ~vesting the legislative power d
the Territory OF Utah in a Governor AND
Council OF twelve appointees, it will tend to
brig the Mormons to their senses more
qnic ly than any other piece OF legislation
that can be devised. 1t completely subju-
gates that element in the Territory and
relegates them to their proper place. The
clause requiring voters to take an oath OF
the most unequivocaI and exacting nature
that they neither practice nor in any man
ner sympathize with that cardinal doctrine
OF the Mormon faith which makes it a de
fiance OF the laws OF the country, is one OF
the best features of the bill. 1t completely
eliminates the church element from the
slightest chance of interference in the affairs
OF the Territory, and if put in practice for
a few years you'd force that element to
mend the error OF its ways.

lectiOns for Nine Months.
A Meager Budget Of News from the Ma.

WASHINGTON, January 24.-In the Senat,
to-day Mr.. Hoar called up the motor
made by Mr.. German some time since te
reconsider the vote by which the Senate
had ordered a special committee Of fv. or
Pacific railroad matters. He explained hit
motive in pressing for a special committed
Of the Judiciary Committee and had the
subject under consideration for a great
while. and he should be the last
Senator to question the capacity
Of that committee to deal with that or
any other subject within It's Jurisdiction.
But the pressure of work upon that com
rnittee precluded its giving hearings to per-
sons Interested. 1t was important that
legislation or this subject should be con-
sldered by a committee that could
have before it the representatives of the
companies and the officers OF the Govern
ment.
Mr.. German said his motion had been
made under a general impression that the
subject was OF such magnitude that it had
better be considered by the standing com
mittee. He o thought it best to refer it
to a select committee. He suggested, how

Mr.. Eimunds, after saying he would be
glad to have the judiciary Committee re-
lieved of some labor on this subject, added
the only legislation that had ever
asserted any right of the Government in
regard to these railroads itas come from.
The Judiciary Committee. 1t had twice re-
measures which, if the Senate had
agreed to them, the railroad COM
would probably have accepted,
and the upshot of which would have given
The Government security on every species
II property which those companies had
icquired either directly or Indirectly.
Something ought to be done and done
in this matter.
Mr.. Beck spoke in the same strain. Al
er further discussion the motion to refer
he matter to the Railroad Committee
made by Davis, was rejected. The origi-
al resolution was modified by increasing
he membership of the select committee to
even, and it was then adopted. Yeas. "a;

PHILADELPHIA, January PA short
time ago Anthony Comstock, chief special
agent OF the New York Society for Suppress
sion OF Vice, came to this city and pur-
chased from five different dealers in works
of art a number OF piCtures which were al
legged to be obscene. Comstock entered
complaint against the dealers and they
were indicted by the Grand Jury. The trial
OF all the cases las taken up to-day, and
after hearing considerable evidence on both
sides in four OF the cases, Assistant District
Attorney Kerr declined t o proc, ed further.
saying he did not believe the pictures
obscene. The judge said it was not very
easy to define what the terms lewd and
obscene meant. Nude pictures are not
necessarily lewd or indecent. II that were
so it would include everything and it would
include pictures OF the most sacred
kind. Where there was an in
tention to corrupt the public by
the sale OF indecent or lewd pictures, there
ought to be a severe punishment, but he
ma not think this was a case OF that kind. |
The visit OF Comstock to this city for the
purpose OF prosecuting dealers in artists
supplies was criticised by his honor. The
bills OF indictment in all the cases were
to the jury, and the defendants
Ia all cases acquitted.

Il RICH FIELD.

The Representatives. of the Pioneer Press
now in the city are here, we take it, more
in the interest OF the paper they represent
than that OF Butte. One Of the great
Journals OF the Northwest, the Pionee,
Press aims to be the pioneer to point the
way among its readers to the resources OF
the Northwest. In pursuance OF this idea,
the corps Of representatives now here are
extending the field Of operations of that
great journal into Montana and WASHING
ton Territories. 1t IS an example of the
enterprise OF the Press that it has sent
these gentlemen out here to explore the
resources OF several places, and the result
will be extending the information they col
lect in a community that is by sectional
ties interested in this portion of the North
west. 1t is known that St. Paul CAPITAL
has only lately been directed to this Eel Do
RADIO. THERE'S a eoodly amount ofthat nee
essary adjunctto development of a mineral
region waiting for an opportunity for in
VeSt'nent. As Tar rs Butte is concerned, it
can be much better invested in prospects
h~ereabouts than elsewhere. For which
reason the Press representatives sbould h.
gwen the fullest possible Information con.
corning the superior opportunities pre-
sented by the vicinity OF Butte over any
other district. In writing up the resources
OF this district they will see that what
Bate lays itself out for principally is AS
a field OF unexampled promise for the in
vestor in mining property. 1t is amply
supplied according to it's present %popula.
ton IN a mercantile way. The trade of it's
merchants is good, but their capacity to
handle 1t is equal to existing emergencies.
There is no limit to the room for invest
ment IN mining enterprises here, and in dis.
selnlnht'ng this information among St.
Paul capitalists the Pioneer Press will conf
Ter a favor on them with incidental benefit |
to Butte |
