gentle, thus addressed him:

Slavery's Real Destroyer.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
AS the year falls into the sere and
yellow leaf the various editors eSpec-
tally the Boston editorS-are prone
to fall into a reflective mood. The
glamOr of Indian summer and the
changing season overcomes them,and
they drift into discussions that leave
queer taste in the mouth.
Here, for instance, is the edito'To
the Boston Herald, who, tired of the
tattle and gable of every day poll
tics, turns to his private secretary
and makes the startling inquiry,
"What Destroyed Slavery" There
upon, he proceeds to answer his own
question, and he manages, by raking
up well known facts, to make the
matter very interesting. In truth,
it is very interesting question. The
negroes think that Lincoln and
Grant freed them; but Lincoln was
Cor preserving the union, slavery or
no slavery. He was willing to toler-
ate slavery if, by that means, the
union could he saved; he was willing
to abolish it if the alternative was
necessary. ..
AS for Grant, it is well known that
what little politics he had up to the
time Of his nomination for president,
were democratic. He was a demo-
crat as far as he took an interest in
politics, and voted for the democratic
candidates. He was a republican
after the war, not because he cared
anything about the negro, but because
the republican party seemed to him
to be the party Of the union.
AS our Boston contemporary points
out, the negroes know little or moth
ing of the real abolitionists. They
tlounted Greedy, their most ardent
and untiring friend, when he was a
candidate for president, although
they owed more to him than to any
man, so as their emancipation
was concerned. They know nothing
, of Garrison, or of Beecher or of Wen
dell Phillips, or of Charles Sumner,
though all of these were conspicuous
in bringing about the freedom of the
negro.
, When Mr.. Lincoln penned his
emancipation proclamation, he knew
that it would not stand the test of the
, courts. He issued it as a war meas
ure solely-a matter of policy-anC
it affected only those negroes who
were under the Jurisdiction of thu
federal government.
AS a matter of fact, the negroe!
were not free until their old masters
met in the state conventions and de
clared them to be so.

MIR. G. f. WALDO, whose resignation
as superintendent of the St. Paul, Mime
apolis e. Manitoba railroad (Montana dl-
vision) takes effect today, leaves here
with the good wishes Of the railroad staff
and the public generally for his success.
When Mr.. Waldo took charge Of the
Montana division the road was new and
for the most part in bad condition, having
suffered from unexpected freshets and
heavy snow fall. With tireless energy he
supervised the improvements until at
length he placed about 800 miles in ex-
cellent order. The results of this change
are apparent in the regularity with which
fast tralns travelling at the rate OF 20
miles an hour, come and go at this city
In matters of detail, Mr.. Waldo leaves
the Montana division in high state
of efficiency. He has rendered the
road popular with the travelling public
as well as with the merchants
whose freight traffic has increased con-
siderably since he took charge. Mr..
Waldo enjoys the esteem of the railroad
staff and Of the public in general. He
has marked aptitude for conducting rail
road affairs on a large scale and has also
that executive ability which is so essen
tial to success. He is certain to become
prominent in railroad circles and attain
some of those high posts which are the
envy of the railroad staff. Socially, Mr.
and Mrs. Waldo were much liked. They
have many friends who will always be
glad to see them again.

What we want out here is people OF a

prising-who will open up the country
and develop its resources. Well, there
ought to be some systematic means
taken to attain this end. 1t can only be
done by making people familiar with
what we have here and what we offer.
To do this there should be established a
bureau whose business it should be to

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1889.
WEEKLY
THE OLD YEAR.

The old year goes out mildly. Broad
water bay is frozen over, but the weather
continues soft and no one suffers from
the cold. The stock on the ranges are
in good condition and will, no doubt,
pass through the winter without loss.
Trade suffers somewhat from mild
ness of the season which depresses the
sale of winter goods, but the condition OF
business in general is good and is likely
TO continue so. In the leading Industries,
prices continue high enough to pay the
manufacturer, without decreasing the de
mapd. Trusts are multiplying, but so
far they have not been able to impose ep-
pressive rates or to retard the general
growth of the country.
In Great Falls the closing year mas
been marked by steady progress. Ihe
town limits have been greatly enlarged
by the construction Of new houses, while
in the business portion such buildings as
the Milwaukee house, the Collins block
the helps-Maginnis block, the new
Kingsbury block and the Dunn block
all erected within the year--bear testl
mony to the growing Importance OF the
city.
The electric ligh, works, the wool ware
house, the Sand Coulee railroad, the
improved terminal facilities are also evi
dences of progress which will make us
hold 1888 in grateful recollection.
Better than these material gains is the
comfort which our people have enjoyed
They have been preserved from plaques
such as have infested Florida and from
the comparative scarcity which prevail
IN Dakota. Death has seldom broker
the ranks of our people who enter on tn
new year with pride in the growth OF ou
fair city and undiminished confidence il
her coming greatness.

The year to come is going to witness a
larger growth Of the territories than any
previous year. The discussion In ana
out of congress over their admission as
states has drawn unusual attention to their
resources. They are now all open and
easily accessible by railroads and the
rates of travel are getting down to such a
level as to provoke every man Of moder-
ate means to take wing. Speaking for
Montana, the prospect for an increase OF
population never was so good as for the
next year. We shall probably have an
increase of 10000 next season. The whole
north of our territory recently acquired
from the Indians is open, accessible, and
desirable for settlement. The lack ii sur
veys will be hindrance, but the pros
pect Of early statehood will be great in
