A FAIR DIVISION.

The Inter Mountain learns on conser-
tative republican authority in leSisla-
tive circles that there is an undercurrent
a. opposition to what appears a desire
t. monopolize the time of the lawmakers
in consideration of measures originating
chiefly for the benefit of Silver Bow in
tcrests 1t is also quietly limited that
very adroit plans are being perfected by
which. in order to insure favorable ac
ton on such measures, regardless of the
time consumed, and the rights of other
sections of the state, an elaborate sys-
tenn of swaps and trades is proposed
and the fate of meritorious bills will be
made conditional upon the support prom
ised to bills which otherwise would go to
the wastebasket committee.
Concerning the basis of these reports
the members of the legislature are per-
haps fully informed. but the Inter Noun

eminent wealth and importance of Sill

THE QUEENS WEALTH.

1t may not be remembered that the

tate Was a bequest from John Campbell
\ield. the son of d goldsmith who hal
done work for her grandfather. Livin*:
himself in miserly fashion Neld saved
5. 500 GOO. which he left in his will to the
queen for her sole use and benefit and
that of her heirs This sum was left
practically untouched. and it now
amounts to about $1,000 600
From her husban nd the queen inherited
the greater part of an estate of $4,000. 600.
Htr estates of Osborne and Balmoral in
creased largely in value after she bought
them. Osborne being reckoned to be
worth five times as much as it was in
1874. when it was purchased Other in
vestmentS in land proved similarly
profitable. She had an income of more
than 100000 from 1882 of land in Scot
land. She owned Caremont. land and
houses in Coburg and a magnificent villa
in Baden.
During the jubilee the queen received
gifts worth s.. 800, 900 for herself person
ally. Her valuable collection of jewels
and !aces is worth many thousands o.
dollars

The reign of Queen Victoria is the long

one sense it is longer than that Of the
French monarchs. for it has been with

THE NEED OF HARMONY.

Those republicans who for any per
sonal reason persist in a policy which
must necessarily weaken party d.sci-
pline and imperil party success, cannot
hope TO escape the imputation of iniif-
ference to party principle. The inteli-
maintained the republican organization
for the benefit Of those of its members
worthy of its honors and emoluments,
but for the benefit of the great masses of
thA party, and because of a belief that
its principles, when crysrallized into
law. Will best promote the interests OF
the nation in its industrial pursuits
Particularly is this true in Montana

that had congress and the presidency

So it happens that the vital interests

and that Montana republicans must

this reason it becomes the duty of every

believes in protection, expansion, good

existed during the campaign that Ed
wards was a populist, but what he is
now, or whore. or how, or why, is a pre-
vailing mystery. Fortunately, however,
when he was republican many years
ago. he had the presence of mind to ac-
quire an education, so it is possible he
will make a useful congressman.
