SECRETARY BLAINE will again have an
opportunity to wrestle with the Behring
sea question. Reports from British Co.
lumbia are to the effect that the num-
Der Of British vessels engaged in sealing
will be doubled next season. It is added
that reports of heavy decrease in the
number Of seals are made for the pur-
pose of discouraging new capital. The
rise in the value of skins may have re-
suited from a reduction in the catch for
the purpose Of causing general belief
that the seal is fast becoming extinct,
but at the same TING it offers an incen-
tive for the new companies. Mr.. Blaine
should at once begin plans for the vigor-
GUS foreign policy that was to render
his term forever brilliant in the history
of nations.

MORE PEOPLE WANTED.

A spbiect of much interest to Mon
tana is the movement to increase i'm
migration into the northwestern British
provinces. The managers OF the Cana
dian steamship lines are working jointly
with the Canadian government in offer
inc specia! inducements to desirable set
tiers from European countries. They
will be transported from Europe for
SIT and given cheap passage via the
Canadian Pacific into Manitoba and the
provinces along the northern border.
Montana will naturally be benefited by
this growth The new Great Falls u
Canada road is the only connecting link
between the two countries from Mime
sofa to the Pacific and by reason OF this
advantage good part of the more i'm
portant trade should come to Montana.
Helena is the nearest city Of Importance
to this new field and will receive it's
share of the benefits 1t is therefore
hoped that country so fortunate in
climate and resources will be fully de-
veloped. The wisdom OF the policy now
under way suggests something Of the
sort for Montana. The state is all
right. No section OF country has SO va
ried and profitable resources. We have
the greatest m.nes vast tracts OF graz
ing and farming lands excellent railroad
systems and the finest climate under the
sun. We need Deople,
II we ever have state legislature
that will legislate, the first important
subject to be considered is the further
settlement of Montana. A state immi-
grafton bureau should be established to
carry on the work in business like
way. This bureau should cooperate
with railroads and steamship lines, and
with every enterprise interested in the
development of the country. Appropri-
ations for this work should be suffi
GENTLY large for it's vigorous prosecu
ton. There are no earthly reasons why
the populations of Washington, Oregon
and Utah should be larger than that Of
Montana, except because of the better
and more systematic efforts to bring
people into those states. Tho railroad
companies have done much to settle the
state. It is now time for tho state legis-
lature to take hold Of the matter in a
vigorous way.

Unless the city is anxious to. have long

Within q half an hour yesterday, by
actual count, ten persons fell fat on their
backs while stepping from tho sidewalk in

THAT BILL DID 1T.

The New York Sun comes out with a
very late explanation OF the election.
AS might be expected it finds that tariff
reform as an issue had nothing to do
with the sweeping democratic victory.
A single paragraph will show the trend
of the argument:
'And it, in the region of the rainbow
chasers in Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Illinois and Wisconsin, the voters were in
tent merely upon rebuking the republicans
for their treatment of the tariff question,
why should it have been necessary to lun
Farmers Aliakce candidates instead of
supporting those nominated directly by the
democratsH'
Let lis glance for moment at the
figures thus far received. They are full
OF interest and meaning and satisfacto-
rily demonstrate that something more
than local issues brought about the re-
suit. In Massachusetts the democratic
majority in 1890 on the congressional
vote was 8,216 against 28,754 republican
majority in 1888. The democrats this
year elect seven congressman and the re-
publicans FIVE; in 1888 it was ten repub-
licans ana two democrats. The demo-
cratic majority in New York on the
congressional vote is 8S,623, the largest
majority ever given, except for Cleve-
land in 1882. The democrats elected
twenty two congressman and the repub-
.licans twelve. Coming west we find the
same tendency. In Illinois the tariff
was evidently something Of an issue as
the democratic congr essional majority
this year is 35,504 and fourteen demo
cratic congressman are elected to 81,
republicans. In this connection
it is of interest to remember
that the republicans carried tn
state in 1888 by 27667 maiorit
and had thirteen out of twenty con
gressmen. This year the situation is NOR
than reversed. In Iowa the democrat
have majority of 1850 in the electio
OF ok out of eleven congressman. l
l6SS the republicans had ten of tn
eleven congressman and 1900 majorit.
The official canvass of Kansas, MINI,
sofa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michiga
and the Dakotas, when received, wi
show IN detail the same effects OF ii
tidal wave. The Sun fails to see an il

Even if he and CAMERON and their syndi-

SATURDAY. MARCH 20, 1885,
Louisville.

Louisville is farther north than Rich
mond. She is the centre of magnificent
country. To-day she has the sympathies
of the world. We in Richmond thought
the fall Of the CapitolAoor an unparalleled
disaster; and for long time after 1t hap
pened the recollection of it was constantly
present in our thoughts. But Louisville
loses two or three times as many lives as
Richmond lost.
We suppose that the cyclone or wind
which fell upon louisville last Thursday
was in no wise different from winds or cy-
clones which have often passed over that
region of the country. These terrible
wind-storms usually move in o narrow
path, and thus one place escapes destruc-
ton when another place few miles dis
tant is utterly destroyed. Louisville has
her hills. as they are called but they have
failed TO protect her. She is in prairie
region, which is swept by winds as with
bosom of destruction. At any time she
NAV be the victim Of the elements. Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois are rich States. They
can boast of magnifcently productive
laIUS. Dub III Eiad oti'NchN9 civ
70 be visited by terrific winds. Fortu-
nately these winds are much more
likely TO miss than to strike any
given town, city. or locality. The
wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou
nearest the sound thereof, but canst not
tell whence it cometh nor whittier it
goeth, but experience has taught US that
cyclones are not apt to strike any gwen
place even in prairie region. They may
pass within mile of q city and not touch
IT. Virginia is not included among the
States liable to cyclones, we believe. AT
any rate she has been fortunate in es-
Gaping disasters caused by winds and
storms.
Money was poured into the lap of Rich
mond in 1870, when nearly hundred OF
her best people had been killedin the Capt.
tol. Money was sent to Jobnstown last
year in great abundance. The world had
never witnessed such q manifestation of
benefcence. There is in connection with
the Louisville calamity a duty to be per-
formed. Our good people will of course
send money thither. Their response will
be as TO call from Humanity personited.
