MONTANA AN EXCEPTION.

try come more or less accumulated re-
ports of hard times" says the Minneap-
oils Times. 1t is very evident that the
Times is so near-sighted that it cannot
see farther than the western boundary
of h two Dakotas. In no part of
Montana is the wall of hard times
arising. All the newspapers in the
stock raising districts are singing peans
of victory over n winter. The loss
TO stock has been iniinitesimal. and the
ranchmen and herders, although not SO
flush of money at this season of the
year as ut some others, have cause for
hearty congratulation in that their
tiocks have been preserved almost in
tact. Washington. Oregon and Idaho
have Jared not so well, il is true.
But whether the Lord thought that
Montana had enough trouble with her
political complications. or for some
other reason not now apparent, il is
clear that this state has been specially
favored.
From the mining districts moreover
come nothing bnt most encouraging
reports. Everywhere one finds "a more
than common display of life. energy.

lis Times in its Il of woe over the

We infer that senator Stanford would
have the government organize itself

ton of savings banks in eastern states.

THE sToP.oveR QUESTION.

The STANDARD has a letter from
MissOula written by n resident of that
place who wants to know what the
chances are for st0p-over tickets there.
The STANDARDS understanding is that
the MissOula board of trade has taken
formal action in the matter and that
the request for the stOp-Over tickets
has been forwarded to the proper OIL
Ger Of the Northern Pacific railroad.
The request of MissOula certainly
ought to be needed. There is no par
ticular reason why there should be dis
elimination against h town in favor
of places nearer the Pacific coast which
afford less attraction to the settler than
MissOula n its surrounding country
can offer. The arrangement that car
ries passengers from st. Paul to points
hundreds of miles west of Montana at
u rate of fare cheaper than the cost of
a ticket tn MissOula, il one of those pc
culiar kinks i'm railroad management
which outsiders do not pretend to ex-
plain. Of course. it is a direct discrim-
nation against Montana, and it sug-
gests n good many questions which the
railroad people do not care to discuss
but which doubtless will he seriously
talked about, in case the Northern Pa
citic people conclude to disregard Mis-
soula's reasonable request.
All that has been urged thus far in
behalf of the railroad company is that
the granting of this favor to MissOula
will bring about dealings in scalpers'
tickets. Passengers will buy through
tickets. cave the train at MissOula,
sell the tickets there and thuS the COM
pany will lose money. In u sense that
is the affair of the Northern Pacific's
passenger department. 1t is no valid
reason why the stop-over privilege
should not be granted and, for that
matter, it is an objection which the
officers of the q can easily emove.
There are reasons why the Northern
Pacific company is loath to grant what
Missoula asks. They need not now be
recitcd since they are fully within the
knowledge of the officers of the road
and of the citizens of MissOula who
ask consideration. \ discussion of
these reasons would show that the
Northern Pacific is committed tn Il
policy of direct discrimination against
Montana towns for reasons involving
the good of its extreme western di-
visions.
It's our opinion that Missoula will
get what it wants i'm this matter if its
leading men persist. The railroad
company evidently doesn't want to
grant the simple privilege sought by
the town. M the way to get il is to
keep right OH asking for it.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
To-day ends the first year of President
Harrison's administration. 1t has been
more satisfactory to democrats as the
harbiuger of "a change than il has been To
republicans AS a token of pcrpctuity. Ii
has not been so good an administrators
as it's partisan eulogists claim nor SO bad
an one as it's partisan critics contend. II
is the kind OF administration which re-
pIblicans would like but for the fact that
an election will come i'm 1892, an election
which will be difficult for either party Ia
carry and which the president is not max
ing il easy for his side to win. The fun
damental mistake of il has been the fail
urc To advance reform beyond the Cleve-
land limit. An administration must be
better than its predecessor, else it will be
