Mladlionian: In order to gis senti Illentaliats tinle to hunt up a more poetic nick-iknitne for Montana, we sulypest that of "lIngo" for t )ie p eent. It is a little lueer that in the "race riots" which periodically otcur in certain sections of thle South it is always the negroea that get killed alnd wounded. Thu BigTinmuer Pioneer is one of the latest journalistic ventunres. It is a neat, newsy little sheet and a credit to the town in which it is published. M. W. Hatch & Co. are the proprietors. We have not at all times agreed with Senator Iigalls, but we have no hesitation in saying that it would be a national calamity for the legislature of Kansas to allow a man of his wide experience and brainy ability to be retired to private life. Chauncey Depsw learned while in Europe that Bismiarck did his best to bring on a war between Germany and the 'United States at the time of the lamoan troubles, but Emperor Will iam overruled him. How fortunate this was for Germany. ...... Stanley's tour calls for 11o lectures. His special car hears his own name, and contains an elegant piano for Mrs. Stanley's amusement. Mr. Stan ley will visit the Pacilic coast the latter part of J.antuary and will close his en. gagement in this country at New York, on April tith. Buffalo Bill started west in high feather to settle the Indian trouble. He was going to arrest the wily Sitting Bull and lhg himr hack east. He had got near his destination whein Gen. Miles countermanded the order for the arrest. This was a schelme of Itill's to get the old eut throat back east and then Iuild a circus tent aronnd him,. providing the government was willing. From every direction Colme good reports regarding the condition of cattle and sheep. mine woolgrower says he likes "to look at his sheep, they are so fat." Cattle are also blef fat. Thiis s encouraging for this sea son of the year. It is one-half of the battle for stock to go into the winter in good shape. Although feed is short there is a strong feeling that stock will get through the winter wit hqut s.erious losses. We furlish our readers the Presi dent's message in supplemental form. It will no doubt tu found interesting reading by a majority of our sub scribers. The President's views on silver legislation, the tariff antd federal election bill, will be found worthy of perusal. The tariff should have a fair trial before there is any thought of making changes in the schedules, and strongly urges thle passage of the election bill, giving good and eutlicient reason for such a measure. (in t he whole the message is considered a very statesmanlike production. The senate ihas taken tllt tile elec tion bill for consideration. It will no doubt bring out a warmi debate. The bill, with perhaps some amnendnlments. should be passed at once. Tihe great objection to this measure conmes from the south, where there is no pretense of an honest election so far as the negro is concerned. Tie black man should be protected in his right to vote anywhere in the I'nited States. The negro mighlt as well be distran chised altogether as to be deprived of his vote through intimidation, and if the local government will not pro tect him in his rights then the nation should. A number of bills have been pre sented in time senate and hiouse pro viding for the free coinage of silver. The present congress could not do a wiser thing than speedily pan a free coinage measure. The west and south and we believe a great majority of the people of the U'nited States, are in favor of free coinage. The monied power of Wall street and thi east Ihas too long dictated the financial policy of the nationl. This inlhincem Ihas con trolled both parties, amnd neither can claimiu any splecial advantage. It is to time credit of the Reputblicanl larty hiowever, that it has taken a step in the right direction. It should go the full length, however, place silver along with gold, andI make silver a royal coist of the realmhi insteadt of an ille gitimaite heir. It shoul lie placed be yond the control of slmulators. The hob-nobbing of prominenw t Tam many Hall men with the Maryland DIemocrats Iodes no good to the (leveland boom. Senator (;ormlan is knownl to be opposed to thle mlnomina tion of the ex-President, and it mooks very nituri as though he hal fornme an alliance with the Tammanyite., who are for Hill. Senator Barbour, of Virginia, who is credital with being I able to control his State's deleationi to the next National Democrats: con tention, says that, in his opinion, Mr. leVeland ought tiot to Ihe nominatedl. gainlt t here significant. lmovemlents nong the iratientl politicians, MIr. leveland has so far Iot hing to put, w-ept the enthusiastic endorsenment Iteipresentatives Mills and plrilnger. otll of whom are exrt'tinO aid fromll iu nIn their light for the peakership f the rnet House of Icepresentatives.

It is not unlllnllal that athirdl part.y. t its platform or delalaration of pri'n iples. has smne good. sounitd ideas, Ihouggh tile imajority ilmay be too uto ian for serious reftection. W1hat was lteldedl to constitulte tle stronlgest latnk often proves the weakest one, ald soon the whole structure takes a nmble. (hie of the chief demanlltds of hie Farmers' Allialnce is that the gov rnnment should loant money to indi vidual land owners and take their Ionetesteads as seeurity. The idea of tiving a man ltM41 ares of land and ihetl loaning himl moneoy lat a low rate of interest. would certainly he very eneroua ott the part of the govern itent, but would it be business? Has tie government the right to show such favors to one class of its citizens? If it helps one It might as well turn in nd assist all in getting a start in life. nl'cle Sam is very magnanimous in giving people homes without extend ing cheap loats on his donation. The whole people contribute to the leve lntes oft iegovernlllllt, and t e lttoney is held in trust for administeringit: aLairs. The idea of nmaking a loan agency out of the government seetms absurd. It would require a large cler .al force to transact the business. l:verything should he dlone that is reasonable to relieve the agricultural lepression throughout the country, but this scheme will hardly meet the approval of tlhe people at large. It is :isionary. Thle Indian trouble is engatiing tlhe attention of congress. Senator Mlor gat has introduced a joint resolution appropriatings5,(Oo0 to investigate t he cause of discontenit among the Lioux and other tribes. It is claimied that the Indians are starving and this report has arosedl the tender syIImpa thies of tile eltete east. Now the gov ernmtIent will prolbably expein live thousand dollars int ascert ainiog whether these lazy vagabondis are get ting three meals a day or not. If the Indians are starving it is Imtiallse of hlie worthless Inldianl policy of tlhe goverltlnment. How long is thie governl iltent going to-ontimllla ulltailt llllig the Indlians in idleness?

''lhose in(di vidals who miike a pra* tice of betting on elestions would do well to consult Inited States senator Power, of Montana, before placing their money, says the (hicago Post. The senator has for a long time enl joyed the reputatios of a shrewd polit ical porgnosticator, but his success in the late election puts him far in the lead. This will be realized when it is known that of the thousand and one great political thinkers he is the only one who looked fo. the landslide. "Knew it was coining," he said at the Grand Pacilic hotel the other umorninmg. "Knew it as well as I knew anything. Why, it was the --est thing you ever saw the way the McKinley bill was used. Every jobler in the country Marshall Field and all-took advant age of the bill to sell goods. It was simply business with themn; and it is husnnes first, party afterward, you know. The big jolbhers worked the little jobbers, the little jobbers worked the retailers and the retailers worked the consumers. The McKinley bill was going to cause a rain of high prices, and so everyone ran to get under cover before it rained. The jobbers and retailers made money, and the Democrats a victory. "But it didn't surprise ime. I don't blanme the dealers. It was merely business with them. It was plain to see how the people were scared anid on the run, and I foresaw a landslide of just such proportions. But every. thing will be all right before long, for the people will see that the McKinley hill is all right. Change at? Not a bit, except a few insignificant errors over looked. No, sir; the McKinley hill is all right and everybody in the party will support it. (If course the ('hicago Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press are whining around about it Inow, but they'll be all right whien the next elev. I ion conies. "The election bill (I'an't may what will be done with it. 'Peole iil ii) way don't have nIluchn to say labllut it and I haven't spoken to a soul conl cerning the nmeasure. The caucus will determine what, is to be done with it. thould the caucus determine to take it up, why it will doulbtless he lipaed. We in Montana are not radical. We want just what is fair and no more. The caucus will also determine what is to be done with the apportionment bill. The Inmians? Nothing serious is tle matter witll them. There has Ibeen no trouble in Mlontana, anld when snow falls they'll be quiet all over." The Next lneese. WAnaIIIrte,, Ic. r'.

Any holder of bullion is authorized to have it coinel or to receive certificates of de posit for it as provided in the act of lf78, and the certificates are to be full legal tenders. Senator Teller'sbll on the same subject differs from the others in that it fimes the weight of silver dollars at 400 grains of stand ard silver, and contains no provisions in addition to the existing law for the colnage of the bullion received at the mints. Representative Williams of Illinois also introduced a bill in the house for the free coinage of silver. l00 CSUET A£3 VIIcITi. SWheep doing well. now. monre o less. W. T.
