1t will be noticed that several papers
throughout the TERRITORY are protesting
against the leasing of the Crow Reserva.
ton to caitlamen, and some have
gone SO far as to intimate that the leases
have been awarded without tie sanction
OF the law. The Indians have tfe right
by treaty made by them several years ago
to lease their lands to cattlemen at a
price set by the Secretary of the Inter
ior. The cattlemen who have been
granted the privilege of grazing their
cattle on the reserve first obtained the
consent of the Indians and have paid
them over $4,000 for the privilege
Agent Williamson may be bad man us
some of the correspondents and report
ers of this territory say; but it cannot be
said of him that he has made cent
from the grazing privileges or that he
has fovored few. He insisted that a
large number should be allowed the priv
ilege of grazing their cattle OH the re.
serve, a plan which was first objected to
by the Indians, and as a consequence a
great deal of money has been brought
to the Indians which they would not
have received. In short, there is need
less howl going ~ over this matter,
The rattlemen are paying pretty dear
for the franchise, the Indians are get
ting the money and the opening of the
reservation will not he delayed one hour

their cattle there, Their permits can be

Mr.. C0nkling Aiiudes to Blaine.

The Washington correspondent of the
Waterbury Comm American was at
Chamberlain's the other evening in the
company of,ex.senator Conkling, ex Sen
ator Malone, Robert G. Ingersoll, Henry
Waterson, Larry Jerome of New York,
and several others, and reports the fol.
lowing conversation, which took place
in their presence.
"Well, senator, who do you think
would make the most available republi-
can candidate-who do you prefer"
Strengthening himself mp to his full
height, and with that digniticd military
bearing 80 peculiar TO the great states
man and which to an observer suggests
the picture of turkey gobbler tanning
his tail for strut, Mr.. Conkling said.
with great force and effectiveness and q
strong dramatic voice. "Gen. Phil Sheri-
dan would be the best nominee, and next

is the sense in mentioning names. It
will not be either

and this would no doubt ALLEVIATE very

said Mr.. Conkling in cynical tone that
spoke volumes, and slowly and dramati-
cally emphasizing each syllable. "Well,
so was Blaine.''
"Oh, no; Blaine is not Roman catho.
lic."
Isn't he? Isn't he?" uttered Mr.. Conk-
ling with deeper voice and emphasis,
and then continued: HDid not Mr..
Blaine and all his friends make special
plea, strong demand for, and demand
upon the priests to command the sup.
port and votes of the Roman catholics Z
Blaine not Roman catholic! But it'll
not be Sheridan, nor will it be Judge
Gresham. But it'll be Blaine, and if not

"BL00D ON THE M5DN."

Over in Helena there is Il large. sized
row in progress, Mr.. keerl, a young man
imported from the Keystone state for the
purpose of performing the duties of chief
clerk to the Surveyor General, General
Green ofLouisiana, if you please, was, on
the recommendation of the Surveyor
General transferred from that office to
that of district clerk under Judge McCon-
nell. Last week the Judge concluded
that the office would he Il pretty good
thing for his son 10 have in his business,
and therefore, he unceTemoniously
bounced Mr.. keerl. This was food for
the Herald which at once proceeded to
give the matter the benefit Of a well
written and intensly interesting article
that completely described the deal from
A TO izaari. Iu the meanwhile, Young
Mr.. keerl is smarting under the wounds
he has received and several prominent
politicians have esponsed his cause
Another feature of the affair which NAV
make Judge Mcconnell some trouble and
cause him to lose some sleep is the U. S.
law which provides that judge or justice
cannot appoint relative within the

An Important Legal Point.

Farmers should know that in many o.
the States an oral lease of real estate for
period longer than year is void and
that in constituting the law the courts
hold that when an oral lease of real es
tate for one year is made, and the term
does not begin at the time the lease is
made, the lease is void. For example.
on January 80, A. orally leases B. land
for one year from February LIST following

The Judicial Districts.

The Helena correspondent of the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, under date of Febru.
ary 7th, Thus writes of the new judicial
districts in Montana: The new geogra-
phical distribution of districts is more
serious matter. Chief Justice McCon.
nell, having the first districts, takes
Lewis and Clarke and Jefferson counties,
and TO these, for some nnaccountable rea-
son, has been added Bcaverheal county.
The district as thus organized in mex
cusably lacking in Typographical SWIM
m try and personal convenience. Judge
Mcconnell will be obliged to go through
two other districts TO reach the county TO
which he is thus assigned. One wise
purpose, however. will be snbseryed bv
this arrangement from the fact that the
other conulies in the First district have
brief terms that hardly otriipy thirty
days in the year; 30 that Lewis and
Clarke will have the benefit of a term of
the district court reaching, with trifling
interruption. from year to year. This is
well. since Under all previous arrange
ments the calander has been far behind,
and it has been stated with confidence
that more suits were commenced during
the last term of court than were tried
The congestion OF business in this county
certainly cannot be attributed to any de.
iinquency on the part of Judge McCon.
nell, who is the most industrious Judge
and more than ordinary expeditions in
the trial of cases. The geographical ar
rangement of the Fourth district, to
which Judge Bach is assigned, is even
more grotesque than the First. u COM
mences with tho county of Cascade, of
which Great Falls is the county seat and
takes in Choteau Meagher and Dawson,
reaching from the northern part of the
territory to its extreme southeastern
limit. Tho judge who presides is requir-
ed to travel long distances by stage, and
Judge Bach is very young, robust and
extremely handsome man, it is probabl..
that this assignment is bestowed upon
hlm justly for the first two reasons, and
accidentally through natural desire 10
di-cntangle A,e judges affections from
the many bewithing snares which are
regularly laid for him; for the Judge is
MT only handsome hut witty and bach
elor withal. Blu. the gravest matter is
the appointment of the United States
court at Great Falls. A very large body
of business comes from the military and
Indian reservation at the extrere e east
ern boundary of the territory. That the
prisoners and witnesses should be trans
ported from this vast reservation to
Glendive, thence on the Northern Pa.
cific to Helena, and thence on the Mon
tana Central to Great Falls, a distance of
seven or eight hundred miles is really
absurd, inconvenient and costly to a
degree that it is difficult to account
for. On the whole. the work of the
judges in this matter of dividing the dis.
tricts cannot be said to be happy; and
while the United States business is
rapidly dwindling to nothingness. yet
the cost of such as there is under this
schedule will be apt to provoke protest
from the department at Washington,

Now that Blaine has declared his
intention of not being candidate for
the presidency on the republican ticket
next fall, great many republican papers
are booming John Sherman, for the
position. Blaine in the meanwhile, will
keep away from home and observe that
silence which is at all times golden but
more especially at this time in his career.
and than like Buchanan of old Mr..
Blaine will step into the arena at the
last moment and capture the nomination
at Chicago. Numerous instances are re-
corded in the political history of the
United States that are exactly similar
to those Mr.. Blame is now endeavoring
to work off on an unsuspecting political

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

In the early part of the winter We
were justified, apparently, in the asser-
tion that our surrounding mountains
would be so largely covered with snow
as to make the water supply of this val.
ley equal to that of last year; but the
exceptionally warm weather ufthe past
month has unexpectedly placed an en-
tirely different phase upon the matter
and il now appears as if there might be
a scarcity of water, so essentially neces-
sary for the watering of the crops.
Under the conditions which now exist
and which will in all probability con
tinue to exist, as it is not likely that
snow will fall to sufficient depth to in
crease the water supply to any appreci-
able degree, it would seem proper for
our farmers to adapt themselves to the
circumstances and cut their cloth accord
ingly. The farmer should plant an
acreage which he is positive, at this
time, he can irrigate, and allow the bal
ance of his land to rest 1thas time and
time again been demonstrated in this
valley that water is the main depend.
ence of the farmer and an insufficient
supply of this has very often caused a
total loss of crops, for in many instances
the farmer has endeavored to spread the
small quantity he could obtain over IL
large acreage, and as consequence the
whole crop was los.. The time is fast
approaching when our farmers will be
ready to plant their crops and it is prop,
er that they should study the situation
and act according to the dictates Of their
best judgment and not run the risk of
incurring loss, which can at this time
be averted

Senator Beck's Warning.

Said Mr.. Beck (Ky.) to a party of re-
publicans, who sat in the cloak-room
of the senate this afternoon smoking
their after-lunch cigars and discussing
the Blaine letter, and he spoke with q
very broad Scotch accent: "You felIars
may laugh and you may crow, but
want to warn those of you who have
pretended to be for Blaine in the past
not to show too much joy over his with
drawal, for thers vengeance in him yet.
He'll be popping up among you yet like
a jack in the box, and every mothers
son of you will run like frightened
deer. I've known Jim Blaine for thiri
of century, and I tell you that you
can't keep him down. He can write a
thousand letters like this and still be IL
candidate for the presidency. He's get
the maggot in his brain and it will stay
with him till he dies. Mark my words,
now, he won't stay down ; he couldn't if
he wanted to, and he doesn't want to-

Senator Mitchell of Oregon has intro.
duced bill in congress that highly com
mends itself-to the people of Montana
and it is to be hoped that it will speedily
become law. 1t has for its purpose the
development of mineral lands on the res.
errations on the basis of paying the In
dians fair compensation therefore. The
better plan would be of course, to throw
open the reservations, which now COM
prise The best lands of this and other ter
rltories for settlement; but until the sick
ly sentimentality of the eastern people
can be overcome there is not much hope
ofthis sconsumnation being accomplished
so the next best thing seems to be con.
tanned in Senator Mitchel's bill. There
is great deal of rich mineral land very
close to Bozeman, on the military reser-
vation now unoccCpied and idle, it is to
be hoped that this new bill will also open
the way for the use of this mineral land.

Senator Germans Prophecy.

Senator German, of Maryland, says
i believe there will be reduction of
from $4,000, 900 to $50 900 900 a year in
the revenues by cutting down both the
customs duties and the internal.revenue
tax. There will also be bill passed
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to expend as much of the surplus as he
thinks wise and practicable in the re-
demption of bonds. I believe he has
this authority already, but he seems to
doubt it, and the wisest way is to pass
a bill and declare it positively, so thas
there will be no need of a doubt or an
excuse on the one side or the other.~

The able correspondent of the Pioneer
press at Helena has some fitting remarks
to make about the recent change of
district by the Supreme Court of this
territory, which we publish in this issue.
Aside from the peculiar changes made
in this district the correspondent calls
attention to the inexcusable changes
made elsewhere, in the first district for
instance, where The Chief Justice has 10
travel through tw) counties to reach one
ofhis districts. We are gratifed to know
that others besides the CHRONICLE has
had occasion to protest against this pecu-
liar distribution of districts.
