H*th-^after the prudent** cabinet will coiiHlttt^of eight members instead of seven. Tutwear and tear of cabinet-making^will ftoou be removed from over-worked^politicians and editors, and the thought^^ful, round shoulderwi a^pect which now^characterizes the two clasneH named may^be expected to disappear with the coming^of the MM of March. Tukfamily of Count de Leaaeps is^more regardful of the great engineer^feelings, apparently, than of those of his^caller^, Mho have been forbidden to al^^lude In his presence to the Panama^canal scheme. Coder certain circum-^atauces the plea of ill health In a very^convenient one. Rvthe way, what ha* become of the^contest instituted hy Mr. Bennett, of^Missoula, for the aeat held in the legis^^lative ^ounril by Mr. Hickford, and upon^which republican newspapers were pre^^dicting an increase of the party major^ity in the upper branch of the legisla^^tive aanemblyV The delay la becoming^painful. A.L OOMfls, republican national^committee man from Ohio, approximated^the truth when tie said, the other day:^^I nuppose there are only two [arsons in^Ohio who would decline a cabinet offer,^and they are myself and John Sherman.^^I nlesH Ohio characteristics have under^^gone a radic, I modification Mr. Conger^overRtated by two the number of Huck-^eye- who would pass a portfolio by. iiUUfOall v L \ I'l't on nn Ms Thoaerepublican prints which have^been urging the legislative council to^reject the nominations which may hi^in ide by the governor in the exercise of^his legitimate duties, because the nomi^^ne es are not republic wis, might take a^retrospective view with profit [Miring^the twenty years or more that Montana^had a democratic legislature inucti^more unanimous In that respect than^the council is to-day- and a republican^governor, the nominations of the latter^Were con3rmed without question other^than as to the tltnees of the appointee^.^That course was in the interest of good^government of the t-rritory, and al^^though, as said above, the executive and^legislative brandies of the government^of Montana were antagonize on parti-^rh'i grounds, there w^h comparatively^little friction. The council recognized^the right of the governor to select his^own executive Ntaff, for whose odicial^conduct he was responsible, and there-^suit was as satlRfactory as It could have^been bad the governor and council been^of the same political party. Thesame rule baa governed as between^the president and the t nited States sen^^ate. As a rule the appointment* of the^latter have been confirmed, even into the^last week of his presidential term, the^senate recognizing that It Is not any^more accountable for the acts of the^president at cuch a time thau it would^be earlier tu bin official life. Theterms of several territorial ollicers^expire tins month. It would be unjust^to the governor, upon whom the reepou^Nihility for their selection rests, to refuse^him the right to exerclae his own judg^^ment in the premises. The Hutte con^^tingent and Ita allies among the tnimir^republican paper* of the territory are, in^d^^man ling that the council refuse to^confirm nominations by the governor,^committing an act of folly that will he^sure to react to the injury of the party^they pretend to repreaeut. The course^of the council In rejecting I^r. BtUaV^way's nomination yesterday, gave rea^^son for the belief that the republican^majority will act under the instructions^of the party boHaes and reject all nomi^^nations made to It by ^iov. Leslie. hespent his time in shooting and the^pleasures which wealth affords. Kour^years ago he presented to the British^government a claim f^^r increase of pen^^sion, payment of debts, and other things^to which he considered himself entitled.^This claim being disallowed he set out^for India to assnme his royal lowers in^Lahore, but lie was not permitted to land.^Having lost caste by marrying a chris^^tian woman, and himself having em^^braced the Christian faith, it Is very^doubtful if the Anglicised maharajah^would pro\e formidable as the leader of^a revolt against the British, lie is now^50 years of age. has had no military^training or administrative experience,^and altogether would be very likely to^cut a poor figure as the bead of a govern^^ment. To I'huleep Singh, with his an^^nual pen-don of HQOl/MH the old saying^that ^a bird in the hand is worth two in^the bush^ would appear to be peculiarly^applicable. It require* a flight of the^imaginaflon to conceive of bis being^actuated by patriotic motives at this late^day. i^^ ^ .i ^' ^*^Tin m w h PLAG it am D Therefusal of the legislative council,^yesterday, to confirm the nomination of^Dr. Herbert Holloway as veterinary mr-^geon of the territory is equivalent to a^notice to the governor and people of Mon^^tana that the republicans who comprise^the majority of the legislative council^will, for party purposes, block the wheels^of government. The Issue, however,^could not be made upon a better man^than l^r. Hollow r, v. was appointed^to the position be now fills by Gov.^Ilauser and in which lie has served with^the greatest acceptability for four years.^The esteem In which he is held by -lock-^growers throughout the territory Is^shown by the fact that the hoard of^stock commissioners of Montana, of^which (iranvllle Stuart Is president and^Kussell H. Harrison secretary, addressed^a communication to the governor on^Jan. I- In these words: TheboarU of stork MaVMsttsWMtl de-^Hire to r^ l oiiunend the reappointment of^Or. Herbert llollowav as veterinary sur^tfeon for tbe territory of Montana. We^believe be baa marie a very enVlent oflieer^and given general sHtisfaetioh Thestock commission was created by^law to ^exercise a general supervision^over and, so far as may be, protect the^slock interests of the territory from^theft and disease and devise and recom^mend from time to time such legislation^as in their judgment will foster this In^^dustry.^ The board at present com^prises l\ H. I'oindextcr, of Irillon, C.^W a I lace Taylor, of CaWtsM; .Inseph Scott,^of Miles City. j. S. Way, of Olenriivc;^lirauville Stuart, of Kort Maginnis; .1 T.^Murphy, of Helena; S. K Buforri. of \ ir-^giula; haviri Kratt, of Cavina; I'- Largey,^of Butte, and Alfred Myers, of Billings,^ftftflMM I selected because their means^are largely invested in the business of^stockgrowing and not because of their^connection with one party or the other.^Such men would not recommend an in^^capable person for veterinary surgeon,^w'leii their own interests are so directly^concerned. Curier Dr. Holloway's ad^^ministration contagious diseases of^domestli' animals have heel) extirpated^except that In one locality a few sheep^are affect* ri. He has devoted himself^most faithfully to the duties of bis office,^and has many times exposed his life in^journeys to remote stock ranges in the^midst of a rigorous winter. His partici^^pation In national conferences of veter^iuarians lias shown him to be as well^posted in his profession as any and bet^^ter than most of those present. Ills^Opinions have been received with defer^^ence by stockmen throughout the terri^^tory, and wherever his arivic^ lias been^heeded nn it generally has been it was^to the profit of growers. ItIs such a nntn, who stands high in^his profession, that the partisans who^control the legislative council of Mon^^tana have seen (it to reject. (Jov. Leslie^has exercised his judgment well in nom^^inating l^r. Holloway; the stockmen of^Montana will he beard from as to what^their opinion is of the action of the^council.

Hhuleep^Singh is the sou of one of the most^famous of Oriental warriors and tuaha-^rajahrt, Kuujeet Singh, but has himself^lived a life of pleasure In Kuglaud since^bis childhood, a pensioner of the crown^to the amount of ^4^,inj0 per annum,^and Is married to an Kuglishwomau.^When Kuujeet Singh, king of Lahore,^died his empire comprised more than^MyOOOyOOO inhabitant- and a thoroughly^disciplined army of 70,000 men.

TheChicago Inter Ocean makes tfie^rioteut asseition that J. M. Clayton, of^Arkansas, was killed because lie claimed^the seat in congress to which C K. Kreck-^eitridge had been declared elected. As^the assassin of Mr. Clayton has not yet^been detected, although the state has^offered a reward of fftjOOO for his capture,^it is ditllcult to see upon what the Inter^Ocean bases its allegation. I'mler the^most favorable circumstances it is dim^cult to judge of men's motives, and cer^^tainly when not even the Identity of the^murderer Is known It Is Impossible to^tell what Impulse actuated him. The^assassin of President (iartleld was said to^have beeu prompted to his insane and^fiendish deed by the struggle between^the Hlaine and Conkliug factions of the^republican party, but no republican jour^^nal has been willing to admit that he^was Incited to the murder by either Kos-^coe Conkliug or his friends. In tfie case^of Mr. Clayton's assassination any one of^a score of reasons may have suggested^the comml-islon of the crime to a des^^perate villain or an addle-headed wretch.^Nothing could be more unjust than to^hold Mr. Itreckeuridge responsible for^the act of an unknown assassin when^the murdered man and himself were^upon the best of terms personally. Tbe^legislature of Arkansas Is democratic by^a large majority, and yet the bill author^^izing the goveruor to offer a reward of^|5,00O for the arrest of the assassin of^Mr. Clayton was adopted lu both houses^without a dissenting vot*. Tbatdi^es not^louk as though the assassination was^regarded as a ^triltlpaj one. It is the re^proach of republican politicians and^journals that they cannot refrain from^picturing those opposed to then as rob^^bers and murderers, and upon no belter^evidence than is sliowu in the Clayton^case.
