the right to be heard, saying that they
should be made codefendants in the
cases. The secretary says that they
neglected to take their day in court

not now be heard. The only claim they

Editorial Comment by the New York
sun

WAsHiNoToN, ID. O., Sept. l9-The
oratory of Colonel sanders in the senate
seems to he attracting some attention.
The New York sun says this morning
editoriaily: "The viglant senator from
Montana made a speech Tuesday on the
bill repeating the timber culture act
which contained descriptive passage
good enough to DO quoted entire in this
place"
The sun quotes quite literally from
his speech, in which is described the
growth of timber from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean. in which he
referred to the treeless plains and the
mountains with scraggy growth that is
unht for commercial purposes the in
creasing quality in the Rocky mount
aims, and closing with the fol.
lowing: "Going across the Rocky
mountains, and going 100 miles be-
yond, you come to the forests that were
described by Bryant rs the continuous
woods, where rolls the Oregon and hears
no sound save its own dashiags.' and
going 100 miles further, you are in the
midst of forests where the sun seldom
sees the ground beneath the trees, where
they stand as thick as it is possible for
trees to stand"
After the above quotation from the
speech the Sun makes the following
comments This is like panorama OF
the ride across the continent. The un.
prctentious, yet effective, English in
which it is presented is another evidence
of the astonishing vocabulary of the
statesman who hanged Jack Gallagher,
Club Foot George and Joe Piassanth,
known as the 'Greaser.'

The New Supreme Court Circuits.
There is some speculation as to the
creation of two additional supreme court
circuits. The Montana senators are
figuring out wlint district would be the
most satisfactory to their state. It's ex.
pected that two new districts will De
created. Senator Dolphs amendment
proposes that one district will be com
posed of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana, and Senator Daniel
has bill to include Montana,
the two Dakotas and Minnesota. The
Montana men think they can go either
way, and are not quite sure. Senator
Power would prefer to go with the Min
nesota district. so as 70 get as far away
rom Judge Sawyer as possible. Sena.
tor Sanders thinks the Dolph district
VIII he more symmetrical. 1t IL more
than likely that Wyoming will be made
part of the western district. Senator
ingalls, proposes to make the Pacific
coast one circuit, but that will be op-
posed by Oregon and Washington.

The Auti-Lottery Bnl q Law.

The anti-lottery bill is u law being
promptly signed by the president to-day.
Senator Casey says that this will effect.
ualy stamp out the lottery from North
Dakota and from the politics of that
state, and that all classes of citizens will
be pleased. When the president signed
the bill he must have realized that he
was cutting oil one source of revenue
from his sons paper at Helena, which
publishes several lottery advertisements.
There are also several papers in Wash
ington that publish lottery advertise
ments. An early test case will be made
and carried to the supreme court as to
the constitutionality of the law.

marshals, district attorneys and clerks
OF the court of the United States in the
districts of Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and Wyoming
passed the senate to-day. 1t provides
that they shall receive, respectively,
double the fees now allowed by law for
like services to tother district attorneys,
marshals and clerks of the courts of the
United States, but none of them shall
be allowed to retain for fees and other
emoluments any greater sum in the ag-
gregate than such other district attor-
neys, marshals and clerks are allowed
by law to retain, the balance to be paid
into the treasury of the United States.
This law is to he enforced until January
80, 1895. The fees at present, 1t is
claimed, are insufficient for the charac.
ter Of the mon required for the offices.
Sheep On the Grow Lands.
Representative Carter was to-day be.
fore the secretary of the interior on the
question of the removal of sheep herds
from the Grow reservation. Some time
ago an order was issued directing that
all the sheep herds must be removed
from the reservation. Mr.. Carter repre-
senttd that there were vast tracts of
lands which the Indians had no use for,
and that the grazing on them did no
damage. The secretary gave him con-
siderable encouragement on the subject,
and Mr.. Carter expects an order will be
made revoking the instructions hereto.
fore issued.
The Census Epunerators.
The new state senators expect to get a
ruling which will allow the census
enumerators in sparsely settled regions
additional compensation. In nearly all
the Northwestern states tho enumera-
tors were in some districts obliged to
travel great distances, and many only
received compensation at the rate of
Sl.6O per day. The chief of accounts at
the census office recognizes that this is
entirely inadequate, and will recommend
increased pay for such.
Can Not Have His Money Back.
Spencer Vraymond wanted to get his
money back for an entry under the
desert land act of d section in the Black
foot, ldahoi district. He claimed to
have made the entry in good faith, but
afterward it was found to be anything
but desert land, and he acknowledged
that he wanted it for townsite. Under
the circumstances the secretary says he
can not have his money back.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The COM
mittce on military affairs has had an
evening, and among the bills passed were
two of particular interest to Washington.
One provides for tho reconstruction OF
the telegraph line between Latoosh
island and Port Angeles, and appropri-
ates 50, 900 for the purpose. This BILL or
n similar BILL was introduced in the sem
ate by Senator Squire. A substitute
bill was passed, and for some time 1t has
fingered in the house. The telegraph
line is submarine cable and is used for
military purposes.
Another which passed was Mr.. Will
sons bill granting right of way to the
Tacoma & Olympia Railway IL Navlga-
tion Company across the military res
ervation on the west side of Puget sound /;
also, through the reservation to Big Har-
Dor. The company Is required to fur

before the right OF way Is granted.
Tho Public Land Surveys
Surveyor General Eaton, of Montana,
Power, complaining that under the
present regulations, surveys in that state
can not be made unless the settlers upon
the public lands petition for them. This
is great hinderance to the work, and
may prevent the state from making
surveys and selecting lands for the pub
lie institutions granted in the enabling
act. The Montana senators laid the
matter before Com missioner Croft to-
day, and were informed that this WAS
only an order by the land office and was
not controlled by the law. He prom
ised to have the matter corrected, but
said that the secretary's approval would
be necessary, which he had no doubt
could be obtained as soon as that Of
fetal returned. This will leave the sur
yeys of lands largely at the disposal of
Mr.. Eaton, who will select such land
for survey as in his judgment Is best
1t is probable that the order will be
made to include the other North western
