GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

We must commend the policy OF the
Nortaen Pacific road, says the Montanf
Mining review, in fixing its rates on ore
to miners at such figures as wall induce
ore owners to ship by that line. That
company only charges $40 a ton for ore
from Livingston to Aurora, Ill.,. and less
thar $l2 d ton from here TO Omaha II
also hauls ore from Rimini to Toston Tor
$l.5U ii ton. When we contrast these NJ
ures with those charged by the Great
Northern from Monarch to Great Fails,
d shorter distance. W. can see how LIBERAL
the policy Of the Northern Pacific com
pany is,
Iu he interest of justice and the
rights of the people, we must oppose the
p~retensions of this company to the nIine-
raj lands within Its grant, but We mus'
also oppose II p taking from lhemof lands
%hIub 4le l.earIy theirs, and comment
the liberal policy they are pursuing IL
giving such low rates on ore.

The legislation OF last session of con
gress on the irrigation question, so far as
1t provided for the opening TO settlement
again of the immense tracts of the irrl-
gable lands which had been withdrawn
from the operation of the public land

office is having much trouble in doing Its
regular business. Whatever may have
been the intention OF congress there are
large tracts which Maj. Powell aud his
engineers selected as sites for reservoirs
which are still withdrawn, for it has
been found that the act, as 1t passed,
does not apply TO them. Settlers
had filed on these lanus before they were

of bringing forward a proposition upon
which a compromise Can be securely
