A RECENT published letter of Hon
Jefferson Davis pronounces the silly
story in circulation that the Southern
Confederacy contemplated a union
of Church and State to be without
shadow of foundation. The fact that
the President was an Episcopalian:
the Vice President, a Presbyterian
the Secretary of State, Hebrew; the
Secretary of the Treasury, an Epis-
copaIian; the Secretary of War, a
Presbyterian; the Secretary of the
Navy, a Catholic; the Post Master
General, a Methodist; and the Attor-
ney General, Baptist, says Mr..
Davis, shows "the absurdity of the
supposition that a Catholic estab
lishment was contemplated" or, pos
sible.

AS long as Hon. Stanley Matthews
had to take his departure at an early
date we think if the last enemy had
visited him during Mr.. Cleveland: =
administration it would have been
better for the country for, then, a
Democrat would have been appointed
entirely congenial with the Chief
Justice who, by life and practice, has
shown an unwavering allegiance to
true doctrine in both State and Nation
We bow to fate, however, knowing
that the best blessings sometimes
come in disguise.

THEY MUST GO.

The edict has gone forth and the small
boy 8 new instrument of amusement
must go. Our Mayor is right, for they
throw shot with force which equals
almost the ordinary pistol and are really
quite as dangerous. Last week little
colored boy had his eye put out by one
of them, we learn, and other people
have made narrow escape from injury.
The boys have been shooting the noise
less weapon, with a reckless disregard
of consequences, anywhere along the
streets We are glad the Mayor has
proclaimed against their further use
within the corporate limits.

On the night of the ed the negroes
held a mass meeting in Raleigh and
organized the North Carolina Emf
grafton Association, the object Of
which is to colonize all the negroes
of this State in Arkansas. A call
was issued for a State Convention to
be held in Raleigh, April 22d to fully
organize a general movement in this
direction.
This is a wild goose chase on the
part of the negro and will eventuate
in injury to him and his. They are
incapable of self. government and this
movement will be a step towards
gradual determination. To them
selves, they will die like sheep and
in hundred years, from the time
they form a Western colony, they
will be as few as the inhabitants
aboriginal of the Eastern section of
the country.

The Minnesota legislature has passed
the dressed beef bill which provides
for state inspection. The law is aimed
at the Big Four, and will prevent the
sale OF Chicago dressed beef within
the limits of the state. st Paul pack
ing houses and local butchers were
probably active in getting the bill
through the legislature. The consum-
ers will not he benefited by this law.
The prices for steaks have already
greatly advanced. 1t is a question
how this legislation will affect the
western ranges. OF late years Mime
sofa has given considerable attention
to stock raising and it ought to be
able to supply the home demand. Ii
1t cannot do so then there will be
a demand on western ranges, and
benefits derived from closer and COM
peting markets. There is still a ques-
ton as to the constitutionality OF this
law, which is held 10y eminent author
ity to he illegal as it interieres with
commerce between the states.

We would like to ask the non-irripa
tionists how it is that the farmers OF
sun River valley--the finest valley
in Northern Montana cannot raise
crops without artificial irrigation. and
why do they not move ont upon the
bench lands, of which there are thous-
ands OF acres near here. and of the
same quality as those around the
Falls and Bent on p sun River sun.
Yes, and why do the ranchmen
along the numerous streams i'm the
Judith Basin, where the water runs
close to the grass roots, take out irri-
eating bitches? Why not take to the
