The st. Louis Republic, the Boston
Herald and the Louisville Courier
Journal are three Democratic papers
which refused to be comforted after the
defeat of Mr.. Mills. Mr.. Watterson
writes in the following sorrowful strain
in the latter paper: For the first
time in the history of the Democratic
party in congress is the principle laid
down that the organization Of the house
is a matter not of friendly rivalry
among friends, but of personal aggran-
and of f%actional power. We
had hoped for better things. A stronger
man than Crisp might have paused be-
fore giving himself and his party over
to this"

Rel < sntative Chapman. of Michi-
gan, IA a scheme on foot of great
mag itu e.. 1t involves the construc-
ton of a canal around Niagara falls IN
the American side, and the building of
a ship canal across the state Of New
York from that point to the Hudson
river, so hat vessels from the lakes can
pass through to the ocean. The canal
would be about $50 feet wide, and
would have to be twenty feet deep in
order to accommodate the largest ves-
sells of the lakes. The cost of such a
canal would be anywhere from $780,
100000 to s60,OOO,O00. 1t will probably
be some time before government aid
could be secured for this project, though
1t may be entirely feasible.

Fort Maginnis.

J. NJ. Page, who visited this section
about a month ago for the purpose of
examining the surveys made by Mr..
Lamport, and who was one of the
earliest surveyors in this region, writes
to the Madisonian from FIT. Maginnis,
as follows:
This is my first visit here since 1850,
and | am surprised to find that there has
been such a lavish outlay ofmoney expended
here in building a first class five company
fort, with all modern improvements, which
is now wholly abandoned, except by f. A.
Plumb, who is employed by the government
to look after the buildings on "a salar " of
81, 500 a year, and the Dept. P. NJ, Mr.. Z.
Keis. Thu post was abandoned on the
18th of last September, and OF course. that
means the practical loss to the government
OF all this vast outlay OF public money.
The buildings in all the towns in Madison
and Beaverhead counties combined, do not
represent the amount OF money that has
been expended here, and it seems pity that
the fort, built on such an expensive, broad
gauge plan and named after one of Mon

utilized for some public good. The report
seems to be gaining ground that congress
will esta blish an Indian school here, and
use the buildings and military reservation
for that purpose, which causes a vigorous
kick by a number of watchers, who are
patiently waiting for the reservation to be
thrown open so they can secure claims on
it. The reservation has been surveyed the
past season, and it is a question that
seems to disturb the minds of a rood many

manufacturers without giving cheaper

Ocean, writing On this subject, says:
Mr.. Springer. Mr.. Andrew and Mr.. Ste
vens will ascertain, il they do not know it
already, that a bill removing the duties on
wool, without cutting OFF the dependent
and compensatory duties on wooden goods.
will not be well received by the majority OF
those who voted for the Democratic repre-
in congress in 1890, and will be
regarded as an injustice by the masses OF
the American people. But such a bill
would serve to show the hypocrisy Of the
Democratic policy. Whatever may be
thought Of putting wool on the free list
without any corresponding reduction OF
the duties on manufactured goods in Mas
such a bill will not be approved

states. The Farmers Alliance
men have already indicated that they do
not understand craftsmanship which con-

The Messiah craze has again taken
possession of the Cheyennes and Ara
pahoes in the southwest. The leaders
are Whirlwind and Old Crow of the
Cheyepnes, and Left Hand, head chief
of the Arapaboes. The Indians de-
clare hat the Messiah, who is to expel
the whites, bring back the buffalo and
restore Il cir hunting grounds, is COM
ing soon, and hat the ghost dance will
be kept up day and night until he ar
rives. The dispatches say the Indians
are all we'll armed with Winchesters
and REVIEWERS. Why the government
should permit the Indians to have arms
after the game has disappeared is very
strange.
