John Bright, the great English free
trader, was speaking a few days ago on
his favorite subject. Of the American
protective tariff he said it prevented
American farmers from exchanging
their products with the factory people
of England and compelled them to ex
change with the protected manufactur
ers of their own country and often at
much less than they could get from the
English.
The house of representatives was dis
cussing an Indian depredation claim the

such claims only to the extent of treaty
funds on hand belonging to the Indians.
Congressman George entered into an
extended argument and proved by citing
precedents, theory and practice that the
government was liable for the ultimate
payment for all Indian depredations.
Nearly 150 leading firms and business

A JIYSTEBÏ.
Of thirty-two names appended to
petition in favor of the bill to annex
part of Gallatin county to Y ellowstone
one is that of T. C. Burns. The same
name appears appended to a letter in the
last Courier in which the writer opposes
any division of Gallatin county what
ever, but as between a new county and
annexation to Y"ellowstone would prefer
the latter in order to escape heavy
taxation. Yellowstone will levy a tax
of 21 mills on the dollar this year and
that will not pay her expenses unless
she can get more territory. She owes
Custer county $50,000 or more, has a
large floating indebtedness, has inade
quate county buildings and is running
deeper in debt every year. Now if Mr.
Burns wants Gallatin county to remain
intact why did he petition the legisla
ture to slice off a portion to be given to
Yellowstone county? If he wishes to
escape heavy taxation why does he wish
to leave Gallatin county with her 13
mills taxation to join Yellowstone with
a levy of 21 mills ? Explanations thank
fully received.
THE INTER-STATE COMMERCE LAW.
The telegram brings the news that
the Inter-State Commerce bill introduc
ed by Reagan of Texas has passed the
United States senate. It received the
sanction of the house of representatives
a month ago and now that the senate
has agreed to it, it will doubtless become
a law.. It is one of the most important
legislative acts of this congress. Briefly
stated its object is to regulate the work
of common carriers as carried on be
tween states and territories—always re
membering that each state or territory
has the power and sole right to regulate
commerce within its own borders. It
prohibits railroads aad other common
carriers from charging one person, Arm
or corporation a greater or less rate for
freight or passenger traffic than another;
it prohibits a passenger rate of more
than three cents per mile from a point
in one state or territory into another; it
prohibits rebates and drawbacks on
freight or passenger tariffs; it prohibits
pooling; it prohibits a higher propor
tionate charge for a short than a long
haul on the same line of railway; it di
rects that schedueles of rates and charg
es shall be conspicuously posted and le
gally filed, and that these schedules shall
pot be departed from while posted. Any

deviation from the regulations of the
bill makes the offender liable for treble
damages to the person offended. This
will give an idea of the nature of the
bill. It strikes at the root of the extor
tions and schemes against the public so
openly and constantly practiced by car
rying corporations and if enforced ac
cording to its letter and spirit will be a
great relief to a long suffering majority
and a proper curb to a predominant and

PIERREl'ONT'S PLAN.
lion. Edwards Pierrepont (a name
that carries weight) has prepared and
circulated a pamphlet setting forth his
views regarding silver coinage. Mr.
Pierrepont believes that silver can be
made to circulate freely without injury
to the credit of the nation and that a
suspension of silver coinage is not only
unnecessary but would be a blow to the
business interests of the whole country.
We have not the space nor is it necessa
ry to repeat the pamphleteer's review of
the silver legislation of the United
States and the other laws that have
brought about the present crisis when
it is feared that silver will become the
standard metal much to the injury of
the credit of the country. It should be
borne in mind that by law the unit of
value in the United States is the gold
dollar of 25 8-10 grains; that the credit
of the nation is pledged to the payment
of its obligations in gold; that the silver
dollar weighs 412 % grains and is actu
ally worth as bullion only 85 cents; that
there is a law compelling the coinage of
at least two million silver dollars per
month; that the preponderance of silver,
its unsatisfactory character in the form
of dollar coins and its inferior merchant
able value has caused the hoarding of
gold and as a consequence silver bids
fair to soon be the only available coin
in active circulation. Mr. Pierrepont
proposes as the remedy that the silver
dollar be raised in weight to 480 grains
or actually a dollar's worth of silver;
that nothing but American silver be
coined or purchased at the mints; that
for all silver bullion received or coined
at the mints, silver certificates be issued;
that no more gold certificates be issued;
that all gold certificates, silver certifi
cates of present issue and silver dollars
of present coinage be withdrawn from
circulation gradually, to be replaced by
silver certificates payable in dollars of
480 grains; that national bank notes be
withdrawn from circulation, to be re
placed with silver certificates which af
ter a time would be the only paper mon
ey in the country; that those certificates
be legal tenders; that American silver
and gold be coined free. The effect of
this plan would be to stop the flood of
foreign silver and thus check the down
ward tendency of the metal, the value
of which would also be enhanced by
free coinage; to make silver (or silver
certificates which would be the same)
the main circulating medium of the
country thus relieving gold from the
stress of hoarding and allowing the
government to fulfill its pledge to pay
all ito ubllgailuns in that metal; by thus
relieving gold or gold obligations from
being the only satisfactory money, to
prevent that metal from reaching a pre
mium, to the great detriment of all other
business by unsettling values. The
plan seems a good one. It may be con
ceded that there cannot be two stand
ards or units of value. If gold is the
unit (as it should be) silver can never at
the same time occupy an equal position
Silver not being the standard, but really
an article of merchandise whose price
is governed by the unit (gold), 85 cents
worth of silver will never be accepted
from government hands in payment of
a dollar's obligation without injury to
the national cralit, and even in ordinary
circulation silver must always be objec
tionable while the coin is so far below
the standard. We have always thought
two things should be tried before silver
coinage was stopped, namely: coin a sil
ver dollar that would be worth a dollar
in the bullion market instead of
cents; withdraw national bank paper
money from circulation and substitute
certificates for silver coin or bullion in
the mints.
TO BOND GALLATIN COUNTY,
The citizens of Bozeman and the resi
dents of Gallatin county are turning
their earnest attention to a legislativ
scheme that has no immediate relation
to county division though it has an in
direct bearing on that celebrated bete
noir of our friends across the range.
The project to which we refer is that of
building a narrow-gauge railway from
Butte to the Yellowstone. The propos
fxl road would, after leaving the Deer
Lodge valley, break through Pipestone
pass, thence down Pipestone creek to
the Jefferson, follow the Jefferson to
the Forks, course the Gallatin valley to
Bozeman, tap the Timberline coal mea
sures, cross ihe Belt range through
Trail creek touching the coal fields of
that district and unite with the Park
branch at or near Brisbin. Such a road
owned or controlled by Gallatin county
or its residents would open a ready and
easily accessible market for the surplus
agricultural products of Gallatin and
Paradise valleys as well as for the enor
mous coal products of the Belt moun
tain region. The wheat, oats, potatoes,
vegetables, beef, mutton, coal and coke
of Gallatin county could all be market
ed at Butte—the greatest mining camp
in the world. It might also be found
convenient and profitable to ship ordi
nary ores from the mines of the Yellow
stone region for separation at the great
reduction works of Butte. To build
such a road it is proposed to obtain
from the legislature the passage of an
enabling act, authorizing the people of
Gallatin county to vote a large sum
(variously stated at from $50,000 to
$250,000 and probably the latter figure)
in bonds of the county to assist the en
terprise. To pay the interest on such
lands it is proposed to tax the railroad
after it is built—an element of the
a
scheme that seems somewhat chimerical
in view of the ill success hitherto at
tending the taxation of railroads in
Montana. The heavy freight tariffs on
the Northern Pacific practically cut off
the farming community of this section
from any outside market. Butte now
obtains her agricultural supplies largely
from Utah and her coke and coal from
the east. A railroad or any other ar
rangement that would permit the ex
penditure of money required for Butte
supplies within Montana and would
open a profitable market for Gallatin
county products would be of great value
to the territory in general and to this
county in particular. We do not like
any scheme that has for its object the
subsidizing of railroads by county bonds.
We have known many instances of the
kind and never knew one that did not
result in years of useless regret to the
tax-payers. But the benefits to result to
the people generally of Gallatin county
from such a railroad and the utilization
of Montana's resources that must result
are so manifest that we do not, with our
present imperfect knowledge of the de
tails of the project, feel like raising
voice against it. The relation of the
project to opposition to county division
merely lies in the fact that these bonds
would be a less onerous burden on all
the present county of Gallatin than
they would on the Gallatin valley alone,
while the people of the latter limited
section would reap the chief benefit
from the success of the enterprise.
NAMING THE BABY.
Owing to an objection on the part of
leading members of the legislature
against the name of Park, it is regarded
as advisable to choose some other name
for the proposed new county which
i:; to be created in the Yellowstone val
ley. Several names have been proposed.
It has been mentioned as a possibility
that the somewhat unwieldy name of
Lewis and Clarke which our metropoli
tan county now bears may be abbreviat
ed to Lewis. While we would not be
sufficiently presumptions to ask Lewis
and Clarke county to divide its name
with us, in the event of such a change
Clarke would be a very appropriate
name for our new county. Captain
Clarke, the colleague of Lewis in the
first northern transcontinental explora
tion by white men, on his return from
the Pacific on J idy lath, 1806, crossed
the route of the present wagon road
which now connects Bozeman and Liv
ingston and camped that night in the
timber land by the river bank that is
now a part of the latter town. He also
gave his name to a tributary of the Yel
lowstone that heads in the proposed new
county.
Another appropriate name has been
mentioned— Bridger. As a trapper,
hunter, Indian fighter, guide, explorer,
discoverer, pioneer, Jim Bridger, "the
Blanket Chief." was contemporary and
ranked in every way with Kit Carson
and that ilk. In 1825 he was roaming
the Ilocky mountains. He fought a host
of Blackfeet in the Yellowstone valley
in 1836. Yellowstone Lake was a ren
dezvous for trappers under his charge
only a little later. He discovered the
Great Salt Lake of Utah. The Union
Pacific follows Bridger's Pass in Wyom
ing. Fort Bridger in that territory was
one of the first permanent locations in
the west. He guided the first emigrant
train that touched the Yellowstone val
ley—in 1864. A tributary of the river
bears his name. Bridger canyon or pass
in the Belt mountains in this county re
ceived its name from the fact that he
guided a train through it. If we cannot
have Clarke, take Bridger. Perhaps we
better call the unborn child Bridger
county any way.
Legislation for Northern Indians.
Senator Dawes, from the committee
on Indian affairs, has reported favorably
the bill to provide for (permanent reser
vations for the Indians of Montana. It
contemplates a reservation near the
Sweet Grass hills and Marias river for
the Piegan, Blood and Blackfoot Indians
of the Ft. Belknap agency. These lands
are to be held for the benefit of the
Indians and may, whenever Congress so
decides, be patented to them in several
ty, so as to enable the Indians named, as
well as those at the Ft. Peck, Montana,
agency, to become self-supportting. A
provision is also made for an annual
grant of $75,000 to each agency. The
Secretary of the Interior recommended
to congress that about 7,000,000 acres of
land, included in the Blackfoot, Fort
Peck and Fort Belknap Indian agency
Montana, be restored to the public do
main and opened to settlement, and that
the Indians be paid $75,000,000 annually
at each agency for 15 years.
The Clow lease.
The committee appointed by the Bil
lings board of trade at the request of
Senator Dawes, chairman of the com
mittee on investigation of leases of
Indian lands, has completed its work
and reports to the following effect
"We have affidavits from one hundred
and forty Indians, which verify all that
has been previously said concerning
Armstrong openly aiding and abetting
the same. Heretofore Armstrong had
only been charged with giving his tacit
consent. It is now known that he
openly stated to the Indians that if the
lease was not signed rations would stop
April 1st next. The affidavits of all
confirm the first. The price was to be
one cent per acre; that the lease was
signed through fear of starvation.
Agent Armstrong. Clark Barslaw, inter
peter, and Bravo all urged the Indians
to sign the lease. Most of those who
signed the lease did not know the con
tents, and did so because they were ad
vised by Armstrong. Others stated
that many names on the lease were not
put there by the Indi.ins themselves.
All now want the lease stopped. The
lease was to Blake & Wilson represent
ing a Colorado syndicate. The hearing
was under authority of the Indian de
it
partment, in the presence of Agent
Armstrong and Henry Ward, inspector
of the Indian agency. Armstrong's atr
titude was hostile to the committee
throughout. He acted as one under
consciousness of guilt, like one being
investigated, insisting on cross quest
ioning the Indians and being represent
ed all the time the committee was with
the Indians, at first objecting to any in
terpeter, but on talking with them him
self. The Indians openly state that if
white friends had not taken steps to
stop the lease there would have been
bloodshed between the Indians who
signal the lease and those who did not.
They now declare if the lease is yet
made they will kill the cattle and their
owners if they come on the reservat
ion." The papers were forwarded to
Senator k Dawes at occe. Petitions signed
irrespective of party, are being circulat
ed over Montana to the senate of the
United States praying that a hearing of
the case be had.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
Onr Special Correspondent Gives Interest
ing Notes of a Trip to That Region.
New Orleans, January, 28th 1885
In conversation with a young gentle
man who has just made the journey to
Central America and return, and who is
a resident of Fort Benton, Montana, I
obtained the following information
about the little known countries of Brit
ish and Spanish Honduras—both repub
lics and continualy in revolt against
their governments, making it so unsafe
for strangers that it is generally shun
ned by a thrifty class of emigrants and
settlers. Said my informent: "We
sailed from New Orleans Dec. 26th, 1884,
on the steamer Clinton, Capt. Johns,
for Puertocotez, Spanish Honduras
After a rough and stormy passage of 8
days we arrived in port one warm and
sultry morning when the mercury
showed 120 in the shade. As the boat
was to remain in post for 1 or 2 days
unloading a part of the cargo, it gave us
ample time to visit the quaint old town
and the immediate country. It is peo
pled principally by natives of a light
brown color who care nothing for the
needs of the morrow. We found nearly
all kinds of tropical fruits and nuts
growing wild, such as oranges, lemons,
bananas, figs, dates and smaller fruits,
It requires but little exertion to put in
a store of provisions as such a thing as
winters are unknown and the trees bear
all the year round, blossoming anew be
fore the old crop falls off. The whole
country is covered with a dense
growth of tropical plants and woods
of industrial value. The mahogany,
rose wood and cedar predominate. We
went from there to St. Thomas in the
republic of Gautamaula where we made
a landing of 2 days for the purpose of
unloading merchandise and taking on a
cargo of fruits. Here we meet the
same class of natives who look so odd
in their scant raiment. This is the home
of the parrot and monkey. In the early
morning before the heat of the day
sets in, thousands of parrots can be
seen in the streets and tree tops making
fuch a chatter that but little else can be
heard; but but as soon as it becomes
warm they retire to the cooler shades.
From St. Thomas to San Pedra, 30
miles, there is a solid stone pavement
whieh tradition says was built in Aztec
times by a then wealthy king for the use
of teams to bring his bride over from
the seashore to his palace in the interior,
though where this stone could have
come from is a mystery as such a thing
as a stone quarry is unknown in that
region. It is but little used now and is
grown over with moss and vines. Two
hundred miles inland from San Pedra
is the Central American gold and silver
mines sone of which are reported as
being very rich in the yellow metal.
But little work is being done upon
them now as they are so far from the
seabord that little machinery has been
introduced. From old tunnels recently
discovered they show evidence of hav
ing been worked many years ago by the
Spaniards when the natives were used
as slaves. The labor cost nothing and
everything taken out was a clear gain
as the native fruits furnished subsis
tence. But this has been so long ago
that the natives have no tradition to
that effect; but Spanish history speaks
of such an enterprise in the latter part
of the seventeenth century in New
Spain of which this country was a por
tion. Our return voyage was more
pleasant as clear, calm weather prevailed
allowing us to make the trip in 6 days.
We had seen enough of Central America
and its people."
Near the center of the main Exposit
ion building is an exhibit from British
and Spanish Honduras. Though occu
pying a small space the exhibit is ex
tremely interesting. All of the pro
ducts of the country are represented;
principal is a collection of native woods
cereals and fruits. The woods are in
great variety,some being highly polished
and make a fine display. The fruit ex
hibit is interesting because being from
that latitude they are something new to
our people. A few manufactured pro
ducts are shown such as boats made
of mahogony and rosewood; wooden
dishes, knives and forks; willow ware,
cloth and fishing nets from native cotton:
a variety of natural curiosities such as
seashells, corals, precious stones, petri
factions, needle work by the natives,
fancy bead and bamboo w'ork; also
statistics of the principal industries,
Liberty Bell has arrived at the Exhibit
ion and is placed in the north west por
tion of the main building on an elegant
platform car built to transport it to
New Orleans It was the great center
of attraction yesterday; the people came
from all quarters of the grounds eager
to gaze upon the object that once pro
claimed freedom to this country. But
it is dead now; it speaks no more, its
peals that once several a kingdom and
established a republic are silent. A re
ception is to be given Liberty Bell to

day; the Mexican band will be in atten

office exhibit in the government build
ing is now completed and the reception
and delivery of mail goes on with regu
larity. The post office is of indescribable
architecture though similar in form to
a pagoda. The coloring of the exterior
is of brilliant hues, while the inside is
arranged to an advantage for the intend
ed purpose, there being one large room
for assorting mail, three smaller ones for
stamps, registered matter and money
order offices. The second story contains
an office for the chief of the post office
exhibit. Mails are received three times
daily and are sent off as often. Six
carriers are employed to deliver the
mail to the respective exhibits—two
for the government building, three for
the main building and one for the
grounds and minor buildings. The
general exhibit of the post office depart
ment is very interesting. Cases con
taining specimens of the different
varieties of stamps and stamped envel
opes are shown and will interest the at
tention of the stamp collector if that
mania is not yet extinct ; also a case
containing a specimen of every lock
ever used on the government mail
pouches. Around the space overhead is
a ininature railway representing differ
ent zones. The picture of a city on the
banks of a river represents St. Louis
and the Mississippi river spanned by a
model of the great bridge. The scenery
is excellent in drawing and coloring and
attracts comment and attention.

Rossa Shot.
O'Donovan Rossa of New Y ork, editor
of the United Irishman, an incendiary pa
per which is the American organ of the
Irish dynamite party, w r as shot in the
streets of New Y T ork last Monday after
noon. His assailant was a woman. By
appointment he has met her to talk over
the Irish cause and as he walked along
Chambers street with her she dropped be
hind him, drew a revolver and fired one
shot into his back. He fell and the wom
an emptied her revolver toward him but
no other shot took effect. His wound is
not mortal. His assailant maintained the
utmost coolness and walked away but was
soon arrested. Her name is Mrs. Dudley
and she is a professional nurse. She is an
English woman, a widow, quite young and
prepossessing in appearance. A few years
ago she was deceived by a false marriage
had children born to her, was deserted by
her pseudo husband and lost her children
by death. These misfortunes unsettled her
mind. In July, 1884, in England she at
tempted suicide and was sent to a house
of • detention. She does not, however, ap
pear demented in her ordinary manner,
though the horrible cheerfulness with
which she contemplates her late crime is
not an element of a sound womanly mind.
Jeremiah O'Donovan was a conspicuous
figure in political affairs in In land twenty
years ago. About that time he was thrown
into prison or account of his share in some
political escapade and upon his release
came to America. He then adopted the
name of Rossa (Celtie for "red'') and has
ever since been the chief American expo
nent of the Fenian organization and ex
treme wing of the Irish nationalist agitat
ors. Hè is about 53 years of age and has
a wife and five children oue of whom, a
grown up son, resides in Minneapolis. The
news of his shooting created great excite
ment. In England his would-be assassin
was lauded as a heroine and what she had
done was received with demonstrations of
joy. Rossa's American friends believe
that Mrs. Dudley was a hireling assassin.
The Charges Against, Superintendent Car
penter.
On Sunday morning last R. E. Carpen
ter Superintendent of the National Park
arrived from the east and immediately
went to Gardiner and Mammoth Hot
Springs to investigate the charges brought
against him in his absence. A gentleman
from there informs us that in a few hours
Mr. Carpenter, by putting himself on trial
before his accusers listening to their
charges and presenting explanations, was
able to convert some of his most active op
ponents into staunch friends and obtained
the written withdrawal of every charge that
could be discovered and traced to its
origin. Mr. Carpenter then left on Tues
day for Washington where he will remain
about two weeks before returning to his
duties in the Park. Unless during his ab
sence the old charges arc re-iterated or
others are formulated, Mr .Carpenter stands
clear before the interior department and
the world.
