January sth being the anniversary
OF General Jackson's victory at New
Orleans, the day was duly celebrated
in many large cities by his Democratic
worshipers. General jackson was a
good man. He was a true American,
VINO had great pride and faith i'm the
resources OF his W country. If he
should suddenly break the cerements
OF his tomb and revisit the earth he
would be disguised with those who
now claim to be guided by his example
and precepts, and would shower his
blessings on the Republican party.
He would have no use for the English
free trade party. The following letter
written by him shows how the old
man stood on the most vital question
OF the past and present:
Heaven smiled upon and gave us liberty
and independence. That same Providence
has blessed us with the means of national
refuse to use the gifts which he has extended
to us we deserve not the continuation oi
his blessings. He has filled our mountains
and our plains with minerals, LEAD, IRON
and COPPER, and given us a climate and
soil for the growing OF HEMP aud WOOL.
These being the grand materials OF our ma
tional defense, they ought to haveextende
to them adequate and fair protection, that
our own manufactures aud laborers Iday
be placed on a fair competition with those
Of Europe; and that we may have within
our own country a supply of those leading
aud important articles so essential to
war;

able to choose legislators who would
look after their interests in such a vital
matter. The object in securing state
control of the lands was to make their
reclamation a matter of local interest
and put an end to long range legisla-
ton.
1t makes but little difference whether
the state or general government reclaim
the lands only SO it is done, but we be-
lieve it will be a great many years be.
fore congress will vote appropriations
for this purpose. The eastern farmers
have already felt too severely the effects
of settlement in the west to favor the
opening up of more land for cultiva-
ton by government aid. While the
products of the Rocky mountain states
would no enter into competitor with
them to any great extent, the prejudice
exists and will be found difficult to
overcome. If future congresses are
anything like the present one the work
will be long delayed.

MONTANA WOOL z
Clark Bros, of Choteau County, Win Over
all Competitors.

An interesting competition took
place recently in Boston, says the Miles
City journal, in which ten of the lead
ing wool houses each submitted three
samples OF wool from different states,
with a view to determine which was
the best wool, regardless of the condi-
ton of the wool, whether dirty or
clean. The firm of Luce & Manning
put in a sample from Ohio, one from
Indiana, and one from Montana-out
OF the clip of Clark Bros, OF Choteau
county. The merits of the different
fleeces were passed upon by a jury of
disinterested judges, and the prize-a
handsome gold watch-was awarded
to Clark Bros, the verdict being that
their wool was the best of the thirty
odd samples shown. Luce & Manning
write to Birkle & Truscott, of this
city, that if Frank P~arkhurst's ship
ment had arrived in time he would un-
doubtedly have won the prize, as his
wool exceeds the Clark Bros sample
in quality, and is the best sold in Bos-
ton this year. 1t Melted Mr.. Park
hurst over twenty cents. Frank Park
hurst is a Custer county sheep man
and runs his sheep near Ekalaka.

THE IRRIGATION CONVENTION.

convention recently held n Helena. 1,
will be observed that the resolution OF
the Salt Lake convention favoring the

time alone must demonstrate. Ii was
boldly claimed by Senator Power that
the Salt Lake proposition is a scheme
OH the part of a few railroad magnater
and capitalists to get possession of these
| lands, and that it would he much easier
| for them to accomplish their purpose
if the lands we're under control Of the
states. But it seems strange hat this
| was not discovered before. Represent
| atives of thirteen states and territories
at the Salt Lake convention voted
| unanimously for the resolution without
| discovering the "nigger in the fence
| which was so plainly seen by Senator
Power.
The press of this state is not united
| in support of the action taken by the
| convention. Some writers maintain
| that a great mistake has been made
| that the colored gentleman is still in
the fence, and can be seer just a,
| plainly in the other direction. Anum.
| Der of those who opposed the Salt Lake
| resolution or the ceding Of lands to the
| states, are interested in large irrigatinl

for controlling the water might inter

Times cannot possibly be on speaking

free trade editor of hat paper. The
first column of the issue of January Sd

goods, comparing the reduced prices
with those Of last year, and showing
that the market value of goods instead
Of increasing has wonderfully declined.

Senator Carlisle was recently inter
viewed by a representative of the New
York Herald. In the course of his re.
marks he expressed himself as follows
in relation to silver:
| don't think the Democratic party
should take up the silver question for con-
sideration at this time. ] certainly should
not put a plank in it's national platform
ia voring free coinage. | doubt very much
whether we have anything to gain from the
silver states. They are naturally Republic.
can, and will vote the Republican ticket in
any event. This has been the result in all
past campaigns. | do not think the ma
jority of the business people of the United
States are in favor of further legislative III
reference with the currency at this time,
and some OF the propositions suggested are
full of danger to the country. The free
coinage of the American product of silver,
as proposed by some, would certainly be
worse for the people generally, in one re-
spect at least, than any plan yet adopted,
al. that would donate all the difference be-
tween the bullion value and the coinage
value OF the metal to the owners Of mines
and spectators in mining stock instead OF
to the government, making them a present,
in fact from the people OF the United States
OF n great many million dollars every year.
There is 40 question but Senator
Carlisle is the ablest Democratic states
man living, and what is more, he is
honest. He would be the best timber
for a presidential candidate in the party
were it not for the fact that he is on
the wrong side of the Ohio river. Some
of the Bourbon papers have exhausted
the English language abusing John
Sherman for his financial views, but it
will be observed Mr.. Carlisle entertains
the very same opinions.
