The capacity of the Government Print
ing office has just been shown in a strik
in g way by the making of 50,000,000
bacco rebate labels. Six large presse
were used, each printing 100 labels at
every impression, and the work took
sixty-five hours. The red ink used cost
$1,000, and the labels, placed in line,
would reach from New York to SanFran
cisco.
Doctor Burleigh and Capt. E. S. Top
ping have been giving the newspaper men
in St. Paul their ideas about the political
destinies of Monntana and Dakota. Bur
leigh says the only hope for any portion
of Dakota is to be taken in as an offset
to Democratic Montana, providing this
Territory is really Democratic, of which
lie wilfully seems to express a doubt.
Topping had no doubt but wliat Montana
adheres strongly to the Democracy at
present but could not be certain but what
this condition might change upon the de
velopment of our agricultural interests
It looks as though .there must be a mighty
change before Montana becomes Republi
can.
A. E. Chantier, of St. Paul, who has
been sending telegrams to some of the
northwestern papers during the past sum
mer, proposes to organize a Northwestern
Press Association on the plan proposed in
the Enterprise some months ago, viz :
to organize the papers of Minnesota, Da
kota and Montana into an association for
the mutual interchange of news from their
respective localities, thus making up a
purely northwestern news report, to which
could be added general news of national
interest. The Pioneer Press is said to
strongly favor the idea and a meeting of
journalists from the northwest is pro
posed, to convene at St. Paul in a few
weeks. We heartily concur in the entire
scheme except the place of meeting,
which is at the extreme end of the circuit
instead of centrally located as it should
be. We trust that the plan may be car
ried out and shall endeavor to forward the
movement.
War between France and China is now
regarded as inevitable. The reports state
that a final proposal submitted by the
French minister to the Chinese govern
ment was, from its character, regarded as
a declaration of war and a proclamation
to that effect has been bulletined through
out the Empire. A dispatch dated on the
afternoon of the 24th stated that an en
gagement had taken place between three
thousand Chinese and the French garrison
at Haid Zuong. The garrison maintained
its position by the aid of a gunboat, and
after a fight of seven hours the Chinese
force retreated. The war, if it breaks
out in good earnest, will be a warm one,
as the Chinese are equipped with all im
proved armaments and munitions and
their forces are organized in a superior
manner. It is true that the armies of the
Flowery Kingdom have hitherto cut but a
]K>or figure in wars with European powers
but the coming contest may prove a pro
nounced change from the rule that has
obtained in the past.
Tbe St. Paul merchants seem alive to
the importance of securing the Montana
trade as in competition with Chicago, and
are using every endeavor to induce Mon
tana purchasers to trade with them. They
regard the trade of this Territory as desir
able in an unusual degree, as Montana
merchants, beside purchasing in large
quantities, are very prompt to pay their
bills. We have heard of a plan which
would give St. Paul jobbers a considera
ble advantage if carried out. It is to
establish a mercantile agency in the Terri
tory, which, at its head office, would carry
a full line of samples from the houses
represented, and if necessary would send
out traveling men to take orders, which
could be filled more cheaply, it would
appear, than if the agents were sent out
on periodical trips from the head estab
lishments at St. Paul. This arrangement
is now being worked very successfully by
the Standard Oil Company, who have
their office in Livingston, and if such an
agency as we mention be established we
have no doubt Livingston will be the
j »oint selected as being the most centrally
located, at the same time that it has the
prospect of being the largest city in the
Territory.
