The Missculian has been enlarged to eight

amount of reading in that excellent paper.
Mr. Geo. Anderson has issued the prospec-
tus for the Weekly Register, to appear at
Bozeman the first week in May. It. will be
politically independent, but on the question
of temperance 'swill favor every measure de-

The Mining Revieao, published at Helena,
has been resuscitAted after u long lapse of
time. If there is "a long felt want" in the
newspaper line in Montana it Is for good

NOT NOW, BUT SOMETIME.

We trust that Congress will yet recognize
the propriety of either itself constructing or
chartering q railroad through the Park, so
that visitors can see all the principal points
without having to hire other conveyances.-
Helena Herald.
The above is said a propos to the
project of enlarging the Park domain.
When, two or three years sgo, the NEW
NORTH WEST first advocated railroad in
the Park we suffered little martyrdom from
what appeared to be our almost universally
horrified fellow creatures. II: would scare
out the game and destroy the primitive con-
ditions'!" ''It only requires five days
wheeling as it is, and the outing is good for
body and SOUL" "a locomotive would burn
up the Park!" ETC., etc. Dear friends, q
locomotive and train with 500 passengers
will not scare game as badly as one man
scouting around on mustang; it need not
ignite any forest or grass: and is not so dan
gerors as a camp fire. IL will carry the Park
police to extirguish i:scip;e,t fres that may
now run over an hundred square miles. The
"primitive conditions have been disturbed
by wagon roads to the improvement of the
Park as they would be by railroad. Five
days. time and $40 expense in wagons is
good for those who have the time and money
and that method can still! be availed Of. But
the locomotive will make round trip in a
day, leaving off and taking Oh passengers
where they desire at the few points of prin-
cipal interest and reducing expenses one
hall. A,ad, it will enable the cd, infirm or
delicate, who cannot endure five days. stag
ing, and the busy or p:'or all opportunity to
60 easily and speedily fron o,.e point of inte-
rest to another, giving health TO the pros
trated and sight Of Gods magniGcence to
eyes barred by existing conditions, while no
harm will be done to any one or anything
thereby. There should be but one railroad
in the Park, aud that under government
control, connecting with all lines that may
approach at the boundaries Of the Park.
Some day public sentiment will come around
to this view. Progress and improvement
are not always spontaneous and irresistible
impulses. The spirit requires time to gather
volume and momentum. But some day
there will be q railroad in the Park, and
then all will say, ''Why was not this done
befOrc?"

SULLIVAN RISES TO EXPLAIN.
Why it was that He Failed to Knock Mitchell
Out.

New YORK, April 9.-[Special to the Salt
Lake Tribune Copyright, 1888, by the Cali
fornia Associated Press. Harry Phillips
and Jack Barnett, manager and treasurer of
the Sullivan Combination, arrived on the
"Etruria' Sunday. Phillips denies the
stories of Sullivan's drinking habits. He
says the champion will sail for America
April 12. Speaking of the fight he said the
referee was very partial to Mitchell.
'sIn the third round," said Phillips,
"Mitchell was clearly knocked out. At the
expiration Of thirty seconds we called time,
but he wasn't able to get up. Baldock hust-
led around and filled in the time. The
referee never said word. I wanted to
claim the fight, but John said let it 60 on,
saying he would make short work of him in
few minutes. But in the very next round
he struck his arm against the point of
Mitchell's elbow and that disabled John.
There has been good deal said about that
arm, but few have given him credit for the
stand he took. Being in the ring nearly
three hours with that arm almost killing
him and swelled to about twice its natural
size, he never said word except to whisper
to me not to bet another dollar, for he could
not win. He would have dropped dead
sooner than retire in defeat. I will match
Sullivan to fight any man living, and he is
ready to meet all fighters. 1t must be
sixteen foot ring though, and if Kilrain,
Mitchell or any other ambitious fellows will
meet him he will make short work of him."
LONDON, April 9.-[Special to the Salt
Lake Tribune-C Copyright, 1888, by the Cali.
fornia Associated Press. ]-Sullivan, inter-
viewed in reference to his late fight, says he
is slugger but no sprinter. Mitchell was
on the run most of the time at Chantilly.
He would have won anyhow, but he injured
his arm in the fourth round. The referee
was unfair. Sullivan's incompetent seconds
permitted the fight to proceed when under
the rules he would have won.

A GREAT MAN DANGEROUSLY ILL

About week ago Roscoe Conkling was
seized with Inflammation of the ear, which
extended to the membranes of the brain and
became so dangerous that part of the tenn
poral bone back Of and below the ear had to
be removed, drainage tube inserted and
the pus which had accumulated on the brain
removed. 1t was very delicate operation,
but successfully performed. Afterward,
however, Conkllng sank very low, and bis
life has trembled in the balance for days.
He is in his 57th year, and has not the re-
cuperative powers of one of younger years.
There was hope of his recovery yesterday.
The country could i'll afford to lose Roscoe
Conkling. He is the one man that above
all others should be President Of these
United States, that patriotism, broad states
manship, commanding ability and untar-
nished honor worthy of the Great Republic
might be eminently exemplified in its Chief
MAGISTRATE.

Pope Leo to Cleveland.

BALTIMORE, April "a special to the
Sun from Washington says: Pope Leo has
sent q letter to President Cleveland thanking
him for the Jubilee present of the Constitu-
ton. The communication was handed the
President by Cardinal Gibbons. The Pope
speaks of the great distinction Of receiving
from the ruler of free people a gift which
he had never expected to be sent him, and
expresses his appreciation of the appropriate
ness of the present. The Pope wishes peace
and prosperity, and prays for the American
people and the country, the perpetuation of
their institutions of liberty and the plenitude
of Gods favor.

Will the Mills Bill Pass1

WASHINGTON, Special, April Cit is ex-
pected that all of the Democrats will vote
for the Mills tariff bill as it stands. Mr..
Blanchard, Of Louisiana, has said that the
bill will be in better shape than before to
conciliate the sugar men. Mr.. wilson, or
the Ways and Means Committee, feels conf
dent that the bill will pass. He believes that
the free wool clause will be carried and that
the bill will pass without material change.

TWO NOTED HORSE THIEVES.

BILLINGS, April News having been
brought Acting Sheriff Reed that two suspi-
cious looking characters with band of
strange horses were camped at Bundys
Ferry, about twenty miles west of Billings,
he, in company with two deputies, left last
night, and this morning arrested the men,
who gave the assumed names of Marsh and
O'Brien. They have been for the past two
months camped on Sage Creek, and their
movements excited the suspicion of the one
who gave the information as to their proba-
BILE identity. Marsh is almost to certaintv
identified as Teton Jackson, the notorious
morse thief and murderer, for whose capture
some $4,000 have been offered as a reward by
Idaho and Nevada. He has been hunted as
criminal for fifteen years in the Northwest.
having broken Jail a number of times in
various localities
Extreme caution was used in making the
arrest on account of the desperate character
OF tne men, who were known to be armed
10 the teeth. The sally was made at
daylight, and upon the arrival Of the officers
Marsh was still in bed, covered with b]an
kets to the chin, and O'Brien a short dis.
rode caielessly into camp and dismounted
about six feet from the desperate, accosting
MIN with commonplace remarks. Meanwhile
Reed suddenly covered him with revolver
ana ordered hands up. Several repetitions
OF the demand, accompanied with the ipflu.
ence OF 1evelled Winchester in the hands
OF smith were necessary before his hands
were slowly withdrawn and handouts placed
on them. Upon his removal from bed a
loaded Winchester was found beside him
anu revolver within the easy reach of each
hand. oBrien was then captured, and the
nalr brought to Billings and safely lodged in
Jail. Great credit is due to Under sneriff

ANOTHER breeze of excitement has swept
over Bozeman in the location of the Fort
Ellis Reservation as homesteads, with view
to possibly securing favorable action by the
authorities at Washington. The Reserva-
tion contains some eighty homesteads, more
or less desirable, and all were taken up.
The scheme Is to secure an act confirming
squatters in their locations on payment for
the lands, some of which are quite valuable.
Then, Bear canon is to be damned up for
reservoir and all the necessary water secured
for irrigation. If we recollect Alright, this is
the second or third stampede of this charac-
ter, and is apparently as wild as its prede-
cassors.

THE Bozeman Chronicle deplores the
alleged adverse comments on Judge Liddell,
and says "he Is gentleman, stranger and
an able Judge" None of these things have
been denied. There is no antipathy to
Judge Liddell personally. But he repre-
sents system Of appointments that is per
petual wrong to the people of Montana, and
we regret to see Montana newspaper which
We respect as much as we do the Chronicle,
condoning the offense of the President to
q declared principle Of his party and to the
people of Montana, by making carpet bag
appointments. 1t should be stopped but as
long as men and newspapers of Montana
smooth these things over because the ap-
pointing power aud the appointee are of
their political faith, there will be no end to
it. It is the principle, not the person, that
is Objectionable, and if the Democratic press
would be true to itself it would condemn all
such appointments and not excuse them,
and encourage the President, who makes
them, to continue so doing. 1t is wrong
for which there is no excuse whatever.

One OF the Lowell Tricks.

Years ago there was trader in Lowell
village, Me-. by the name of Jonathan
Harrington, whom everybody called
''Jock" Harrington. He was fat, good
natured, smooth spoken man. and every
one liked him. He had the reputation
of being sharp and shrewI, and was
sometimes, when occasion required, cum
ming and tricky. There was also living
there, at the same time, dry old fellow
by the name of Gibbons Andrews, who
was sharp of tongue and full OF fun.
One day the latter went into Jocks
store and sat down by the fire. He was
SO very quiet and still that it was noticed
by the people who We're there. The
storekeeper pretty soon pitched into
Andrews and asked what was the matter
with him. He said he didn't want to
tell, but after some persuasion he de-
clared that he had dream the night
before that made him feel badly. He
DIR AIMED that he died and went to the
Internal regions, where he called on his
Satanic majesty and was shown around
the premises. In the course OF their
walk they came across old Jock Earring
ton, who was tiering up some birthstone
in cordwood style, having taken q con-
tract to furnish the ruler with all that
he needed. Pulling out tape measure
from his pocket, Satan ran over few of
the piles and found them six inches
shor. in thickness, and he turned to
Harrington and said: "Look here, Jock,
want you to make this up. You can
do these things up at Lowell, but 1 am
not going to have any of your Lowell
tricks here"
