OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT.
Farewell to Chotean county! Great
Falls is big. enough to be a county
seat, and at Sunday midnight she
assumed that dignity. At the same
time Cascade county came into legal
existence. From the Belt mountains
to Sun river, and from the Dearborn
to Wolf creek, the people will rejoice
that they are citizens of a young,
prosperous county which is the rail
road center of northern Montana, and
will bear on her shield the motto:
"Mining, Agriculture, Commerce."
In parting from Chotean and other
counties, Cascade county wishes them
prosperity and salutes cordially all
her sister counties. All hail to Cas
cade countyl
If the twin territories, Montana and
Dakota, merit statehood after the
presidential election, why not before?
Neither of the great parties can af
ford to say, "We shall keep you out
because we are afraid you will cast
your votes against us." They should
bear in mind that taxation without
representation is tyranny. It is un
just of the other states to elect a pres
ident, to pass bills and confirm presi
dential appointments regardless of
the rights of Montana and the other
territories. Our delegate should be
allwed to vote as well as to speak.
Mr. Toole is competent to do both.
The Anglo-American commission
will evidently accomplish nothing.
Canada would allow our fishermen
free access to her inshore fisheries if
we would admit her fish duty free.
This is more than Mr. Bayard could
promise, because congress is not dis
posed to make any such trade with
the Canadians. Eventually England
may concede all we want and let Can
ada shift for herself. We can bide
our time.
Senator George's bill, which pro
vides that all patents shall be subject
to purchase by the government for
general use at a fair valuation, should
meet with approval. Under it inven
tors could be amply rewarded, while
the general publie would profit by

r Great Falls is located at the falls of the Missouri, which furnish the greatest available water-power on the continent. Is within seven miles of the most extensive coal
and iron district in the West, immediately beyond which are rich gold, silver and copper districts. It lays tributary the best agricultural and grazing part of the territory, and
the pineries of the upper Missouri and its tributaries. It is especially adapted by its natural resources and geographical position to become the leading manufacturing city
between Minneapolis and the P&j fic ocean, and the principal railroad center of Montana. The trip to Great Falls will amply repay tourists by the beauty of the scenery on the
way, and they will find here Iele;est magnificent series of water-falls in the world, while the surrounding country is rich in picturesque scenery.

those in the River Press except as the
editor of that Benton pamphlet,
known as the Wool Grower. His last
effusion says in effect: "If you let
me alone I'll let you alone." Slan
derers generally wind up with such
an appeal.
There is hope for the civilization
of the Indian when we read that Sit
ting Bull and his friends have raised
$5,000 and will go to Washington to
see that some money is paid them di
rect instead of through the hands of
the Sioux. White men could hardly
be more prudent. The Indianas alob
byist will be a amusing spectacle.
It is a proper satire on the territo
rial system when a delegate from the
strip of public land called Cimarron
asks to be placed on an equality with
delegates froth Montana and Dakota
Doubtless Cimarron will be added to
New Mexico and that will be the last
of it.
Keeley who has all the appearance
of a honest horny handed son of toil
continues to delude the public. He
is undoubtedly a good, ordinary me
chanic, but there his merits end.
SYMPATHY FOB IRELAND.
Senator Sherman Presides at a Great
Meeting.
WASHINGTON, December 16.-Sir
Thomas Grattan Esmonde" and Hon.
Arthur O'Connor,,leaders of the Irish
home rule cause in the English parlia
ment, arrived in the city Wednesday
afternoon and were tendered a reception
at Masonic Temple by the Irish societies
of the city.
When the distinguished guests arrived t
at the temple they were escorted to seatse
on the platform, where a large number t
of senators and representatives were pres
ent to do them honor. Senator Sherman
was chosen chairman. He was greeted I
with loud applause, and in acknowledg
ing the compliment said he believed he
spoke the general voice of the people in
every part of the union when he said to p
the distinguished guests that the sympa
thy of America went forth fully and
heartily in a strong desire that they
might have home rule in ,Ireland to the
full extent demanded by Parnell and
Gladstone. He wanted Ireland to possess
the same rights as those enjoyed by the
people of the United States. Why was it
the British government denied to the
gem of the British empire what was, con
ferred on all the colonies of this great
empire? Irishmen had led. in, the
advance of all the great battles which'
England had fought for two .entuuries.
Ireland had furnished aie thDemostees
and Ciceros of nmodern times. It.land
had produced great =men.n ueveyy branch
of life. .He hoped thepleading. . ,ce of
(*ladston~ the greatest statesman of the
Sage, woun induce theBr.iih parliament |

which he was greeted had subsided, maid

American liberty which was not illstrated
by Irish valpr and consecrated by Irish
blood. Arthur. O'Connor, who was
received with cheers, said he was sensible
of the greatness and sacredness of the
cause which he had the honor to repre
sent here in Washington, the headquar
ters of freedom, the capital of the grand
est and freest community the world had
ever seen. No cause which was not just
could call for such a distinguished audi
ence. Ireland was attempting by the
force of organiled public opinion, by
constitutional and peaceful means, to
secure the repeal not of a law, but of a
conquest.
Senator Hawley was the next speaker.
He said the speech of Mr. O'Connor was
the statement of a terrible fact, a terrible
argument. Humanity everywhere should
say that he had stated wrongs which must
be remedied. He joined uery gladly in
the welcome to these distinguished repre
sentatives of the great liberal party of the
great British empire. Resolutions were
unanimously adopted extending a hearty
greeting to Messrs. Esmond and O'Con
nor, protesting in the name of humanity
against the tory policy toward Ireland.
FAVORABLY IMPRESSED.
Mr. Grews Gives a . Good Report of the
Cataract City and its People.
J. E. Grews, of the American Express,
writes as follows In the Cincinnate Ex
press Gazette:
Geat Falls, the western terminus of
the Saint Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba,
and eastern terminus of the Montana
Central railways, is a comparatively new
town, having been established about one
year and a half ago, and now numbers
more than one thousand inlfabitants, with
every prospect of a magnificent growth
in the early spring. Unlike many young
and rapidly growing towns, Great Falls
possesses splendid business structures of
brick and stone. Moreover, the brick is
manufactured in the immediate vicinity.
All branches of business are represented
here, and all are thriving without the
exaggerated appearance of an unhealthy
boom, but that of steady, prosperous,
legitimate btlsiness. Before passing
from this branch of our subject allow us
to especially mention the palatial Park
hotel. After their long journey this hos
telry is a veritable "haven of rest" to the
hard working messengers who once a
week check into Pat Kelley, the aggree
sive and popular agent for the American
Express and Saint Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba railway.
Great a.ils to Seattle.
It seems probable that a new line tothe
Pactfic coast will be constructed by the
Saint Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba road.
The Montana extension of that great sys
tem now ends at Great Falls, 1,001 miles
west from Saint Paul. It is. understood
that surveys are being pushed from Great
Falls west via Flathead lake and the Koo
tenai country in, Idaho, and at the same
time thre is,good reason to believe that
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Rail
way Company, wbich is actively engaged
in building :road from Seattle, eastward,
