WISEMEN WHO RULE US TheBroken Pledget of the Garfield^and Present Administrations Re^^called and an Earnest Appeal^Made for Justice. Washington,Jan. IS.^Springer, Illi^^nois, called up as a special order the sen^^ate bill for the adiuissUm of .South Da^^kota and the organization of the territory^of North Dakota. Thebill having been read in full, Spring^^er took the floor in explanation of the^measure and in advocacy of the substitute^(the omnibus bill) which he proponed to^offer at the proper time. Hecalled attention to the various pro-^visionH of the oooetUnttosj of ikk5, smith^tit- considered bore the marks of having^been formulated hastily, and argued that^they presented another reason way anew^convention should be held. He ontklleod^the clause of ttie constitution declaring^that all existing srchtvi s, records and^books belonging H the territory of Dskota^should belong to the state of South Dakota.^Under that clause the secretary of stale of^Hi*-new state was authorized to go to His-^marck and denude the capital there of^every scrap of paper and every book be^longing to the territory. Cox,New York, was in favor of the om^^nibus bill with certain amendments, but^he was willing to help along any little con^^ference tietweeii the two houses of congress^which would result in elevating the terrt^t^n ics into the rank of Htatehixal. Every^territory except I'tab should be admitted^into the union when it had the popniatIon^sufficient under the law to electa member^of eongnM. Clifford,Dakota, defended the constitu^^tion adopted by the constitutional conven-^tion of Dakota from the criticisms ad^vanced against it h^ springer. TooIt-, Montana, strenuously advocated^the admission of Montana, and mvein in d^against carpet bag authority in the tern^lories. The QarlaM and Cleveland ad^ministrations had promised to relieve Mm*^territories, but both had failed. Tradition^said the wise men MM from ||m east, and^his republican friends had determined that^history should repeat itself. Some of these^hothouse plants had been too frail to stand^transplanting in a northern clime. Others,^holding religiously to the doctrine that^led. tai officeholders should neither die nor^resign, had stayed in the territories, and^gave promise of dc\eloping into good and^useful citi/cns. (Laughter.) Hut under^democratic supremacy the time honored^tradii on had l^een violated, and instead of^wise men coming from the east, It was^learned they came from the^south. Laughter, i Far be it from^film to reflect upon the Integrity^of any man sent to the territories by the^present administration or upon the section^from which they :ime. The Insolence of^officeholders consequent on alien appoint^^ments, and the lack of confidence shown in^the people of the territories constituted a^grave affront. Those people had hoped^for better things from the present adminis^^tration. Four years ago Montana had^been entitled to statehood and the fai ure^to receive it, together with the violation of^the platform concerning federal appoint^^ment in the territories, had done much to^bring about the political revolution there^last fall. There was only one remedy for^the evil^another star on the flag, and a^vote and voice in both branches of con^^gress Without this, there was nothing hut^political insomnia and unrest There was a^homely maxim that charity began at home.^Much had been heard alMuit home rule^In Ireland, and America had contributed^much to establish that blessing in that sad^land. He would not abate the slightest in^terest in so worthy a cause, but he beugt-d^the gentlemen not to forget litre at home^under their flag home rule in the territor^^ies lay bleeding at the foot of despotism.^(Applause.) The people of the territories^had i.ft n patient and long suffering, hiding^their humiliation behind their pride, but^they now found their modesty departing^and independence asserting itself. To tie^on an equal tooting with the states of the^Union was a worthy ambition. Tendingfurther debate the house ad^^journed. TK HKNATK. Aftersome business the senate resumed^consideration of the tariff bill, the pend^^ing question being on Vest's amendment^to strike from the free list attar of roses^and substitute ^salt. Thedebate was continued at great^length. Vest enforced his remarks and^made some reference to the speeches and^votes of the republicans In the past In fsvor^of free salt Rep!} Ing to this Iliscock said^nothing so completely illustrated the^progress which had been made than the^fact that twelve or fourteen years had^changed the judgment of those gentlemen^on the question. When they spoke and^voted the industry waa limited to two con^^gressional districts in the I'nited States;^now it extended eren as far west as Call^fomia. Palmer opposed the amendment.^The present price of salt at Sagtnaw,^where about one-third of the prisJuct^of the United States came from, wsi^only six cents a bushel. The dtscouage-^ment of the Industry by the withdrawal^of protection would double the price in five^years and compel the abandonment of^many salt works In Michigan. Plumb^spoke of the irreat development of the salt^industry In Kansas. Teller opposed the^amendment, and diverting from it, said the^senator from Missouri grew enthusiastic,^pathetic and eloquent over the duty on^salt but was entirely silent on the question^of the duty on sugar. Vest asked him to^wait until he reached that schedule. In^the course of the discussion over the ques^^tion whether tariff duties were paid b^ the^consumer, Vest said: ^1 have not gone to^the extent of saying that every cent of the^tariff dutv is added to the cost to the con^^sumer, f think the president stated that a^little ti^o strongly In his tariff message.^Hut I do say the imposition of a tariff duty^affects the cost to the consumer, always^modified by the amount of production in the^United Mates.^ The dlscusnMn tie u drift^e.j Into a political vein, the resulU of the^election In New York state and the matter^of a tax on whisky being talked of in a^desultory way. After nve and one-half^hours' talk the bill was laid aside without^a vote on the pending amendment, and^after an executive session the senate ad^^journed. ABLOW AT QUACKS. abui B^lnt Pr*p^r^l at Butt* to Ragulat* Mad-^Ical Practice Bt'TTB.Jan. 15^ISpeclal to the Inde^^pendent |-A bill has ben prepared here by^Dr. Mnrray, which will be presented to the^meeting of the Montana Medical associa^^tion in Helena to-morrow and subsequently^Intr duced, with some modifications, in the^legislature. It provides for the establish^^ment of a medical examining board t f^seven physicians, none of whom shall have^been in the territory leas than three years.^They are to be appointed by the governor,^acting with the advice of the council, and^hold office for seven years each,^the first board being so appointed^that one member's term shall expire at^the end of every year, subsequent ap^^pointments to be made for seven years^each. The board shall examine the dl^ploroas of ail practicing physicians in the^^territory, holding two sessions a year, In^January and June, the first in Helena^and the second In Hutte.^They are to issue certificates to those whose^diplomas are all right, to those who have^practiced medicine In the territory suc^^cessfully for a period ol five yean, and to^those who pass such a written examination^a* Ho in cud shall deem proper. To practice^withoat a certificate is made a misde^^meanor, punishable by a fine of not less^than f luo nor more than (*5oo, or by im^^prisonmnent In the county jail for not more^than thirty days.

Washington,Jan. 16.^The house com^^mittee on public lands has ordered a report^upon the bills to recover lands granted to^aid in the construction of wagon roads in^Oregon. The bill which the committee^will report is the senate measure commonly^known as the Dolpb bill, and proposes that^direct suit be brought In Oregon by the^government against the derelict corpora^tmns to recover such lands as are cotermi^^nous with the parts of the wagon roads not^constructed in accordance with the require^^ments ot the granting acts,^^Chairman Holman had introduced In the^house a bill on the same subject, much^more severe In Its terms, and intended to^carry out the president's suggestions deal^ing with the wagon road corporations.^This biti, however, was practically repealed^by the adoption of the senate hill by the^committee, although Holman, Hermann,^McKaeand Wheeler vigorously championed^the bouse bill and will unite in a minority^report favoring its substitution for that to^be reported by the majority. Consul(ieneral he wall was MM the^senate committee on foreign relations to^^day, and continued his recital of the events^of the past year or two on the Samoan^islands. He was interrogated with partic^^ular reference to the communications that^passed between himself and the state de^^partment with regard to his efforts to pro^^tect American interests on the island. Itla now said the wool achedule In the^senate tariff bill will probably be so amend^^ed as to provide for a clearer and more^definite diMiuction t^etween the several^classes ef wool, so as to prevent the impor^^tation of any grade without paying the^duty which rightly attaches to It Toesenate this afternoon confirmed the^nomination of Walter C. Newburry to be^postmaster at Chicago. Petitionshave been made to the treasury^department by various transportation com^^panies for the reconsideration of the regu^^lations prohibiting the transportation ol^Chinee** laborers across the territory of the^United States and arguments have been^submitted to show that there *s nothing in^either the restriction act of May B. IKX'j, or^the exclusion act of 1KHH to authorize such^prohibition. Themost important Items in the naval^appropriation bill,which carries 920,000,000,^are those providing tor the construction of^ad)iiainite ruiserto coal ^45O.O0O on the^pattern of the Vesuvius and a 3,500 ton^crusing monitor to cost SI.WW.Ooo, on the^plan originated by Representative Thomas,^of Illinois.

At tfie last meeting the house con^^ferees showed a disposition to recur to^their original position, and as the result of^a subsequent conference between them^and certain of their fellow-members inter^^ested in the measure, It Is learned they^have heen strengthened in their disposition^to insist on the adoption of a bill in the^line of the house measure.

Trusting^in your fidelity, they have called you to^legislate for the good of this great and^prosperous territory. At this crisis in our^history, when we expert soon to assume^the dignity and responsibilities of state-^hood, your position becomes more respon^^sible and more honored than any of your^pt^ decessors; in no small degree your la^^bors may aid in laying hroAd and deep the^foundations of the coming commonwealth^of Montana. Spanning nearly five degree*^of latitude and twelve of longitude, inter^^spersed by vast mountain chain*, M^m^tana will serve as the connecting link tte-^tweeu the 1'acitic and central states, with the^Atlantic states so closely allied making one^indestructible union. Our mountains veined^with gold and silver and the more useful^metals, our placers filled with gold, and^wide prairies covered with grasses, are^fast giving us Individual and public^wealth. To secure the greatest prosperity^in these vast industries will require your^best thought and ripest statesmanship. In^^dustries so varied aud so extensive, over^broad areas, require laws to be most care^^fully adjusted and compromises skilfully^made for all these wants and necessities.^In discharging these grave responsibilities,^1 shall most cheerfully co-operate with you^to secure the best results of our united^labors in behalf of Montana. FINANCK. Thefinancial condition of this territorial^government Is sound and healthy. At the^close of the last fiscal year^J* lit day of^December, Imkm -the territory was out of^debt, and there was in the treasury one^hundred and fourteen thousand three I un-^dred and forty dollars, and forty-eight^cents (flU.M0.4Kj 'balance of the^general fund In cash; four thousand nine^hundred and thirty-nine dollars and^six cents (S4.V3W.M) balance of the^sU^ck inspection and detective fund; nine^thousand and eighty-six dollars and^sixty four cents ffV.OKtttM) balance of^the stock Indemnity fund; and one thous-^snd eight hundred and twenty-six riol^lars and fifty eight cents fSI.K'jrt bmj^balance of sheep Inspector and linb in^nity fund. Kvery citizen of Montana must^feel proud of this healthy condition of the^government. The auditor's and treasurer's^reports for tfie year Just ended will be laid^before, you for your examination and^action thereon. Thereis hardlv a people anywhere who^pay more cheerfully and promptly their^taxes. Nevertheless, it is a solemn duty^upon you, and I urge that you make such^enactments as will secure the assessment^for taxation all the taxable property of the^territory. Not tint the government needs^more money, but in order that the burden*^of government may rest more t dually upon^the people. If you will make such laws as^to certainly secure the assessment of all^the property (which by law is taxablei the^people'* taxes may be reduced one half,^nud the same amount or more money col-^leetedi Kqualtty and uniformity in the^taxation imposed upon a people are always^desirable, and held to be a feature of^Justice In the government. If you will^take the pains to study the assessed values^fixed upon the same claaa of property In^different parts of this territory there will^be seen such a glaring difference as to^shock all sense of fairneaa and every prin^^ciple of Justice. The only r^ ue-dy for^this. In the legislation of Montana, is that^there be enacted a law creating a board of^equalization, after the fashion of other and^older governments, and vest that tribunal^with the power to revise, harmonize and^equalize the values for aaaeaaable purposes^all over the territory. Inentering upon the duties of legisla^^tion for your constituency you are eon-^fronted with the laws of Montana which^provide, as on* of the means of raising rev^^enue to carry on the government, that per^^sons may buy for a price from the govern^^ment the privilege of carrying on^the business of gambling. sell^Ing whisky and other Intoxica^^ting drinks. When these privileges, or^any of Uiem, are bought, and a license Is^issued, the purchaser can proceed any^where, and on every day, including Sun^^day, of the time tor which he has pur^^chased the privilege, t*iopenly ami publicly^push his licensed business. It is a well^known fact that each of these-avocations is^prosecuted with great persistence all over^this prosperous country. Kach business Is^gathering every day from the ranks of in^^nocent, unsuspecting youth, and from con^^tented households, recruits for the peni^^tentiary and the hangman's trap. The^fruits resulting from the conduct of these avocationsare aaturated with the tears ol^sorrow, crime aud taxation. No joy, peaesj^or happiness to man ot woman, no Inv^provemenl to the heart or intellect evei^comes from these engines so full of con^^suming Ore, 1 submit to you whether^your constituencies are willing any^longer for this licensed un^^scrupulous crime-breeder to add his drafts^upon ttatyockels of the people, feed upon^the scant substance of the widow and or^^phan, and have for hit drink the tears of^the innocent^ The policy of raising reve^^nue for |the support nf government by^corrupting the morals of the people is not^vim.i. and should be abandoned. But If^your sense of duty to the people and to the^font of your being lead you to acquleace In^and continue this system, I urge that you^provide for the taxation of each and every^branch and phase of gambling and liquor^traffic, so there may he a show of fairness^toward all classes of persons engaged In^those lawful business pursuits of life.^There is a large num^^er of persons In Mon^^tana whose good citizenship and business^should be protected against the presence of^these evils. Men embark in enterprises,^aggregating their capital in opening mtues^for goldpper, silver and coal, opening f;reatditches aud many other classes of^uisiness, necessitating the employment of^and congregating a large force of men.^They build churches and school houses,^and multitudes of the people gather there^for counsel and Instruction. Without any^comment upon what has occasion^^ally occurred heretofore with refer^dice to the vigilaii 'e nf Ihose engaged in^the two notable callings spoken of, I rec^onnnend that you pass laws more far-^reaching, and effectually protecting the^churches and schools and the business^point! of the people against the presence,^Miidl and temptation of these vices which^csmp about the doorways of gathering^industry and enterprise In this territory. iiKUKi.HTioN or OFriCBKH. Thesystem of conducting this govern^^ment is wisely arranged In the lodgment^of very much power in the bands of ItB^public officers, Imposing upon them the^duty of making reports at certain specified^time* to i he chief officer at the head ot their^respective depnrtment*. This requirement^is made with the view that the affairs and^eoodltlosj of tfie government may u read^^ily seen and made known. It Is a provok^^ing t-iei. I am sorry to say, that a Isrge^number of officials in the counties disre^^gard the Isw in this respect, and many of^the most important reports are withheld^until public servants are pleased to make^them. The completion of the re|m^rU ot the^territorial officers was delayed until late in^December. IKHH, and late In January the^^year preceding, all because of the aegises'^of county officers in making their reports^as r^ quired to do h) law. Thtsevil had be^^come so annoying, and hurtful to public^interests, that thiiteeii years ago the gover^^nor felt it to be his duty lo mention the^aiihjfct in his message to the legislative as^^sembly. now again bring It tvtore you,^and urge ujH^n you that you are^not on!) the representatives of the office^^holders, hut of the whole people, and the^public Interest Is suffering on account of^HMsM derelictions ot duty. The Interest^that the people have in the offices Is that^the officer placed in charge shall fill and^perform the duties assigned him. The in^^terest of your constituency demands that^you Institute and enact soiuh provision, or^summary punishment, aud provide for Its^enforcement against delinquent officials. Kl'NDAYLAW. Inthe message of (iov. K. K. Potts dated^Jan. 3, IK7*,, to the legislative assembly of^Montana, the following language appears:^^I cannot loo strongly urge the enactuwnt-^ment of a law prohibiting rioting, sport^ing, quarreling aud engaging In common^labor work (work of necessity and charity^excepted (on the first day of the week,^commonly called Sunday, exempting from^its provisions those of our citizens who re^ligtoutdy observe the seventh day of the^week as a day of rest This Is the third^time 1 have urged this subject on the at^^tention of the leglslat tire, and 1 have nosr^more confidence in the wisdom and justice^of the recommendation thau at any time^before. J hope the subject will be urged^upon tht attention of every legislature^that assembles in .Montana until it Is en^^acted Into a law.^ 1 reproduce this sen^^tence uttered by that grand statesman as^part of his counsel to the people of this ter^^ritory he loved so well, and to whose ser^^vice and welfare he so faithfully and ably^devoted so many years. They are words^full of wisdom, ringing out from the grave^of a patriot aud statesman. 1 delight to^hold out ticfore your eyes and re|^eat for^your hearing the hope he therein ex pressed^^that this subject tie urged upon the atten^^tion of every legislature that aasembles in^Montana until it Is enacted Into a law.^^The necessity for such a law Is now In^Montana more urgent and pressing than^ever t^efore. I need not point to the^shocking and Impious open gambling^houses, the opeu doors of saloons^and traffic publicly carried on; nor to^the open business houses and shops of alt^kinds, and business generally carried on^ii|^oii tfils day, so much revered ami hon^^ored by so many of our good people. There^Is no state m this grand empire of states^but whose people have just the law SO^earnestly urged by that noble governor in^his message. We have now In this youth^^ful, growing government at least thirty,^and perhaps forty, thousand children, al^ready pushing their way along ths path of^life, and in almost every city, town, village^and neigh ho r hood there are church houses,^church bells, Sunday schools and preach a^gospel; and, In addition, these same cities,^towns and country places are tilled with^the music of the school-room, and Isrge^revenues are paid by the people t^^r educa^^tion^In fact, Montana's jewels are her^children, and yet there Is set alxiut In tin^iiHght^orhood of every school house, church^building and congregation of worshippers^of Almighty tiod these hatch-houses of^crime on the Christian .Sabbath^day. I do m ist earnestly urge you to give^heed to this mi' Jwt, and ^Jace this rising^government side fcy r.ue with the other^government* in this country founded on^Christian principle and in v^^ur enact^^ments show to the or i i that this Is a ^}od- pqtecluig people. BXPK1TKXAUI.NKH. Thisterritorial government is a great co^^partnership In trhlch every person reakt^tug in Montana I as an Interest, and like all^other business nterprlses Is carried for^^ward through a*, ancles, selected for their^capacity and fltn 'as for the particular^place to be filled. The public officers, In^^cluding those of the counties, cities and^towns, are agencies provided by law as one^of the means for successfully carrying on^this Important business of government.^The place called office, committed to the^pmaession and occupancy of tfie agent, Is^full of Importance Ut every citizen. That^importance consists in part in the fidelity,^promptness aud Integrity with which the^officer executes and performs the duties en-^Joined by Isw. There is the greatest ne^^cessity to the public, and often more to the^Individual, that these agents perform theit^official pledges In manner, time aud phu-a^as provided and directed by law.

To punish^without law is tin* grossest violation ol^law it ix crime Lynch law wherever it^lists is savagery, or Is evidence of unde^^veloped or of a degem*ratwl so -i* ty. Nor^should the government Impose pun^h merit In any spirit of ven^^geance. The government of Montana has,^through the years of its growth, for a^piartt-r of a century, provided by law pun^shmeiit as penalties to he imposed up *r^wrong dot rs, tempered according to tin*^gree nf crime. 1 'Incf amongst those pen^allies Is continent! nt In the penitentiary.^Tin* territory has never yet built or owned^a state prison tor tin* confinement and pun-^saaaMi of its criminal class-a. The^uited m last has a p* riitentiary within tin*^erntory at Daaf Lodge, ami ever since the^beginning of the year l^71 the territory has^secured the confinement, care aud support^if its c invicttHi criminals in that prison,^tnder contract with the I'ruled Mates gov^rnincnt, and there they have been eon^lined, male and female, old and young, of^whatever nationality. No prisoner Is re-^ptired to work one hour ol the time for^which In* is there confine-1. The institu^tiott is a very sightly, well provided and^well kept home, furnished with the best^medical skill, kind nursing, ample supply^of reading malt* r. and a chaplain The^buildings and grouti la are admirably ar^ranged for the safe-keeping, comfort and^health of the convicts. These considers^terns, with the vigilance and *kill ot the^prataat keeper, lion K. H Kelly, show the^rciuarkable fact that no death has ueomred^there within the lastthree and a half years^There are hut seventy cells provided there^In which to keep prisoners. I'ltls Hunted^provision for room ttas necessitated the^putting of two convicts in each cell, and,^in addition to that number, there^tire period! of time when ten to fifteen^others have Ui tie beddetl on the lloora of^the open rooms, and guarded with extra at^teiitiou to prevent escape. The territory^has thus paid for boarding in idleness the^uivict.il criminals sine*- Jan 1*71, two^hundred and seventy thousand dollars, and^the auultor'a ofticeshows the fact that these^aim lal outlays arc increasing front three to^seven thousand dollars every year. Vou^are therefore confront**! with the question,^whether you wlllcoutlnue this Improvident^imate of treating tin* wmng doers of this^territory, or as other governments have^done, you will provide a penitentiary aim^other institutions to meet the wants of^Montana's papain I n confinement and pun^i^hineutof the bad and wl disposed sub^jectsot the government Allcivil governments of whi di history^gives us any account, h ut their system of^penology and lAslnoued in their own^chosen way their execution. Hut we are^proud of the fact that A meriea gave to the^world the li rat penitentiary, and here was^born 1 tie idea of reformatory discipline In a^prison. This grsud couci ption, as s mesais^tif repressing crime and eclalming fallen^men, wasiaaen up b^ all the states of this^confederacy, and until about tbe year 1h:u^the American states were leading the civil^i/ed world in their enlightened and la-^proved inetbiMls ot punishing crime. .Since^then, however, Kngland and some of the^older governments have outstripped^and gone far m advance of our people.^Montana has a place among the American^commonwealths, and is now in sight o^stateh000, securing to her people full ami^1 iptal political rights with those of other^sovereign states of this great confederacy^of states; the swelling title of immigration^to this great empire of unfolding wealth^gives to the thoughtful statesman no un^^certain sound, its warning voice counsels^to prepare and lay well the foundation of^every department ot this rising govern ment,and especially to provide the amplest^security to the cm/, n against crime and^violence. Montana cannot afford any^longer to neglect ami refuse to have a state^prison, one of such architectural propor^^tions and dimensions, client and security^as will fully answer all ttie present and^futun demands of this growing power, aud^the same put under such humane govern^ment and control as shall comport with the^enlightened age in which we live. Montana^is no longer an orphan, capable only of ei-^erdsiug such power and doing such things^as ttie congress of the I'm ted .States allows,^but Is a full grown, well matured Intelli^^gent*, self reliant, ami fully capable of^carving out and shaping her own institu^(ions, and giving direction to their admin^istration. batttUM a prisoner up 111 a Baa-^tile aud separating him front the world is^not enough. It is neither just to hi 111 nor^to the state to stop with that little measure^of punishment; but, in addition,^there fthould tie imposed on him^hard labor. In hla confine men!^within the walla of the prison^house ami behind the hotted doors. This^ia an element of discipline which should In^administered and enforces! by theeorrec^live hand of the state, and the guilty crim^ittal should in this way tie forced to con^tribute in some decree to his own support^while drinking of the bitter cup he b in self^has prepared. There Is no hiding the fact^that crime holds high carnival in our land^The detection and punishment of crime^form one of the greatest items of coat to our^government; ami it reo/nres armies of ofti^cers to hunt and discover criminals, and^^et governments are powerless to prevent^the commission ol crime. Lhe Dope ol eternalbliss and the fear of eternal woe^are alik* powerleaa.

That^provision or prevenatlve Is to be found in^passing a law directing and providing that^in each and every such institution the su^^perintendent, officers, agents and servants^Into whose care, conduct, oversight aud^man igetiient they are placed shall lie se^^lected In equal numbers, a* nearly as may^from each one of the principal leading^political parties of the territory and iu^tilling every vacancy that shall occur the^same rule shall be observe*!. Kor a great^number of years this rule has been observed^ami most strictly enforced In all the state^and congressional elections with reference^to the officers set apirt and p ac-d in charge^of the poiu and ascertainment of the result^^r publication. No thoughtful, just-minded^mam would have this rule as to eltrtmn*^naiued The congress of the Unite I^^states In completing and rounding up the^inter-state commerce law, and providing^commissioners to overlook and apply its^provisions. Inserted the same direction as^to their selection and appointment; and^tin-re are other acts of congress, and many^those passed by state legislatures, in^which this .same care has been taken, and^in every instance Its practical working has^been found acceptable. AOKICULTUKK.

Montana's agricultural capaci^^ties, encouraged and cultivated, promt***^r the same h gh And leading distinction ^^and even greater^that is now accord- d to^her on account of her great output of the^precious metals and inexhaustible empire^of grass. Irecommend that you create a territorial^b .aid ot agriculture tor Montana, provide^for its orgauuition and service in this^great interest, aud supply it with a n 1-0 .^ably liberal support from the public treas^ury, to carry forward it* efforts in advanc^ing ami developing tins great source of^wealth in these mountains.

TIMIIKK,Klsll AN t^ OAMK. ('mnected with the subject of tilling toe^soil, there is one other important interest,^full of value to tbe people,^namely, the timber, fish and game.^This territory is rich beyond the^computation of figures in these 1id given blessings ami supplies, ami a^wis** statesmanship should guard with the^greatest vigilance against their destruction.^I have reason to believe the law* already^on the statute hook upon these subject* are^violated in every county in the territory,^and within the last two years great injury^to the wealth of the country has been in^^flicted. 1 charge you to scrutinize well^these laws, and to tighten the band* against^this reckless waste and destruction. IlOUNTYHim KII.I.IMI WOI.VBS, ETC. Moreover,I recommend that you pass a^law offering a bounty,reasonable in amount,^for the killing of thos enemies to civiliza^^tion^the wolf, the coyote and mountain^lion. They are perhaps the meanest and^most cowardly trio of aulinal* that live,^and live by stealing. The most careful^and best possible safeguards should be in^orporated in the law against fraud in its^administration. KI.K'TION LAWS. Itis almost twenty live year* strict* the^few wnite men and w mien th 11 in Mou^tana, surrounded oy many unfriendly In^lians, decided to plant permanently in^these mountains the stand.ml of American^civilization. 1'ursuan' t-. that decision,^they app-aled to (lie congress of the I'lilted^states tor its favor, and the organic act was^paasedj under which this territorial govern^^ment was ^rgamz*d. That act of congress^containing suggestively the frame work of^the goveriimeir. ami granting authority to^make it com plcfe.tia* served,and as is yet the^constitution of this territory, ami by virtue^of the authority therein granted the people^have from time to time met in legislative^a'S'unhly, and formulated their views aud^wishes into laws. One of the duties .In^^volving upon the law making power ol this^new government, and of first importance,^was to declare the terms on which the cpi^taa could acquire th.- right of suffrage, and^how the will of the people through the pro^cess of elections should he ascertained, and^to protect and secure every one entitled to^the exercise of this high function, ami to^guard well against any and every one who^would dare interfere. The men whose far^seeing wisdom inaugurated this govern^merit knew well, and fully appreciated the^right of free suffrage, and understood its^powtf. They provided a ballot for evtry^Billion, entitled under the law to vote^The voting privilege Is a sacred right to the^voter and every lover of the government is^interested in preserving to him that right^and warding off every attempt to weaken^the force of Its exercise. All over the^states of America we hear much of fraud^in elections. Intimidation, bribery, aa^and it is claimed that In many instances^the people have been robbed of their choice^In elections, and results roost humiliating^and unwelcome forced upon them. The^law should be plain and explicit, showing^who shall be allowed to vote, and the pre^^cinct or township where his vote must lie^cast. I respectfully suggest that In this re^^gard the laws of tae territory should be^changed so that every voter shall be re-^ijHired, If be votes at all, to vote In the pre^cinct or township of his residence, snd not^allowed to vote at another; that be be not^allowed to vote till he has been a resident^citizen of the territory, or have declared^hi* Intention to become such, for at least^six months, and of the township where he^offer* to vote for at least thirty days. The^goverument Is kept alive, and its activity^in ministering to the waut* and necessities^of the people must be through agencies^primarily elected and provided by the peo^pie. The voters of the government con^stltute but a small part of the population^for whom the government Is created and^upheld, and the greatest care should lie ob^^served to guard every tine of them from In^tlmldatlon or other vicious Influences, tend^Ing In any degree to weaken tbe force of^tbe trust confided to him. It Is a great^crime against free suffrage and against tbe^people to corrupt the voter, or to offset his^voice at the polls will; ballots unauthor^^ized by law. Every attempt to Inject into^the election count Illegal votes, or to clothe^a legs', vote with tbe garment of briberyor other criminal tinge is stab^and a wound in |the direction of death to^free government. 1 recommend that you^prepare and oass a bill recasting the el 0^tlon laws of Montana, and provide the^ample*t security to th who by l iw sie^Invest etl with the responsibility of suffrage^and effectually bar the door against those^who would engage in the crime of It* de^^bauchery. This subject demands your^most earnest attention. Iuthe state of Slew York and m* iy^other states, and in nearly all the large^cities, they have registration law*. Their^practical operation upon those people na*^proved to tit* a success, and 1 commend^most urgently to your careful study and^favor 1 he preparation and enactment ^f a^registration law for M mtana. Your^statesmanship will master the o/iest|on aud^arrange the details nf such a mil without^further *uggeHtion; aud a measure of this^kind conditioned t i apply to the people of thisterritory will be t1 to be thestrong- esisafeguard against the enemy to free^and lair elections It is said ^penal laws^are ineffectual to prevent bribery, Intimi^^dation and fraud, and that ^the primary^remedy Is the s-cret ballot.^ I have had^occasioti to b -stow some study upon the so-^called Australian system of votiug. which^has recently b^*eu adopted in the state of^Hatsachusetts, and went into effect in that^atate at the beginning of this year It has^ha* been tried, too, in the govern^^ments o* England, Scotland, Ireland and^Canada, and had no favor of this* e mo-^trles. There certainly are aoim* wiae fea^^tures aud effectual safeguard-* agtiust in^^timidation and bribery In this system, and^some of which, if not all, might be mvle^useful in wis territory. ATTOKKKYoknkuai-. Atthe extra session of tbe last legisla^^tive assembly, held In Nepteui'ier, 1**7. a^law was pa*md exempting the county at^^torney* from appearing as counsel for the^territory In the supreme court, and re^^pealing the law in that regard The hill^so pas ed, created the office of attorney^general t^r the territory, and prescribed^the duties assigned huu It also provided^that the governor should 11 miniate and ap^^point by aud with the advice and consent^if the council. The governor mad** a noun-^nation forthtl office In pursuance to the^provisions of the law, and ttie afJM was^rejected by a majority of the cou cil, and^that b sly adjourned leaving the office that^they had created vacant. Tm* hrxt term^^f the supreme court after the adjourn^^ment of said extra session of the legisla^^ture was in the early day* of .Unitary,^IKHH. Tin* public interest dem inded that^there sh mid be an attorney general (since^the county attotieys were exempted) to^look after and attend to the business of^the territory pending in that court,^and likely to occur In the after^terms of the court Kecause of^such necessity. Hon. William K Ottlleo, a^gentleman and lawy er of distinguished and^known ability, residing in the city of Hel^^ena, was appointed tin th dflsi day of l^c^ember, 1Sn7, and commissioned by the^governor to till and discharge the duties of^that office for the turn*, ami uniil the last^day of this regular session of the legisla^^tive assembly, for ttie territory of Montana,^lie accepted the appoint ment, and has^most faithfully met and performed all the^duties of the nth m. There is a statute tn^this territory enacted February, 187a,^who-h forbids the payment of any^salary or compensation to any pub^^ic officer appointed by the gover^^nor till his appointment is approved there^after by the legislative council, provided^the vacancy m office, to till which such ap^^pointment is mule, existed at the ad-^lournimmt of the legislative assembly pri^^ced ing s uch ap|x n nt ment. 11 uder t he^frowns aud remonstrating voice of that^law the attorney general ha* been kept out^if any pay for Ins valuable services to tbe^public, and has never received anything I^rec itii'iieml that you at once provide foe^the p lyiueiit of his salary. Surely there Is^no man in Montana ready to refM 1 us^just and long delayed claim. The attor^^ney general has made a detailed report to^the governor, showing his services ren^^dered, and til* careful ami laborious exam^iiiatiou of the statutes of tins territory, and^sui'j nnmg some wise suggestions, which 1^subtuit for your consideration. COlUFIt'ATIONOF THK LAW. Iask your earliest attention hi the un^^satisfactory condition of the statute law; to^the tact that tn many particulars it is uot^up to the standard of progress which char^^acterizes the policy and jurisprudence of^tin* m 1st advanced and enlighten, d states;^and to its manifold Inconsistencies and un^^certainties. The injunction to ^kuow the^i ia^ should succeed intelligent enact^^ment*, and not be ma le before them; and^the time is come for you to adopt a plan so^to revise the iaw of its existing confusion,^and hi tlx Its rules, that, the peoali who^are expected toobey them may know them.^It lias been found possible hy experience to^codify the rules of the common law and to^reduce then hi the form t^t the statute DavidDudley Kield. whose able and per^^sistant efforts Were begun ints en^^titled to the credit for the first of such pos^^sibilities, and the legislatures of California^and Dakota to the other; while \e* York^ha* only been prevented from ail op mg the^full result* of her several code commissions^because her legislature has been loa much^occupied with special legislation in give^the necessary time for their consideration^a reason which does uot exist in Montana^aud should not delay you. One^of those results^ttie code of civil^procedure^has heen adopted by New York^itid t^y twenty two other states and terri^^tories. Including Montana; ami there It^every reason for the opinion that the penal,^political and civil codes belonging to the^system, of which the c ^de of civil proce^^dure Is a part, will, if adopted into law^here, prove equally saiu'ary and ln-in-li-^cent. 1, therefore, recommend that a law^be framed by you for the appointment of %^ctide commission, hi be composed ot g.-u-^tlemeu learned 111 the law, with IU(Sclent^power and means to prepare and present^tor the consideration ot the legislative as^^sembly at a future session a code or codes^of the law; that the nil ^s therein contained^he a reduction to the form of a statute of^the body ^i the law; that the powers of the cmission be pie-ary in the adoption of theresults of other American toataaYaj^preserving, however, those statutes in ex.^tstence In Montana which have been enact^^ed with leference to local conditions; and^that tbe rules contained in such code or^^ odes, when authoritatively preM-ntitsi, bo^the law and the only law of this common^^wealth, except so far as the same maybe^controlled by the constitution and laws of^the Cntted States, or hy subsequent en^^actments of tbe local assem^^bly. Sufficient time should be given to the^commissioners to discharge their import^^ant duties with care and accuracy, and a^sufficient means should he placed at their^disposal to enable them to perform their^task conveniently and with suitable facili^^ties.

GOVLESLIE S MESSAGE^The me*shge of ^inv. I* res ton H. Leslie^to tin* territorial legMatUe assembly is^printed in this Issue of the IShU KSh^KNT. It It a long dfH'Uineiit, but those^wlio read it will be amply repaid by not^^ing the able treatment he has given^pufdic ^|ue^iions and the many valuable^suggestions it contains. A number of^the subjects discussed ami recommenda^^tions made hy the governor have been^anticipated by editorials in the l\hh-^I'KMjKNT in the weeks immediately pre^^ceding lie* meeting of the legislature^as the enactment if a registration law^and itie amendment of the election laws,^thecodillcatiou of the statutes, etc. I'poll^thone subjects there should be no differ^^ence of opinion on the principles in^^volved, although members may not^agree upon the t*est plans to be adopted^for the correction of existing evils. Thegovernor forcibly calls attention^to the nt ed of a ref Till school to which^tsivt ami girls of tender years, just en^^tering upon a career of crime, may Is*^committtd. Such institutions are a ne^^cessity in every state and territory, und^there should be no delay in initiating^measures for the establishment of oiie at^some convenient point in ti.e territory^at once. WhileOff. Kehlh-'s reasons fur Mft^^demiiing Mm system that permits of pe^^nal incarceration without hard latior do^Hot agree with the recent investigations^in the large state prlsmisof the east, there^js no doubt that convicts should be com^^pelled to labor during a reasonable num^^ber of hours of each week day. The gov^^ernors language would imply what^may poesihly be the case In an institu^^tion where there arc but few inmates^that Mm absence of the labor feature of^penal servitude is conducive to the en^^joyment of the convicts; hut in prisons^where the convicts are u u in beted by the^hundreds the cat. |fl different, for the ab-^lition of labor has worked to the v.rtual^iibstitution of continement in cells for^twenty-two hours out of every twenty-^Mfft Whichever view of the subject is^taken, however, workshops should Is* es^^tablished In connection with penal and^refiumatory institutions. Thegovernor's suggestion that a board^f equalization should be established Is^wise one, and the only wonder Is^that so proper ami necessary a hoard was^not long ago instituted by act of legis^^lature. The Inequality between assMss-^meiits in different counties, upon the^Kime clastes of property is everywheie^pparent. Thegovernor's treatment of the gamb^^ling and Sun lay-observance tjuestiont^prompted by a thorough conviction on^his part of the necessity for reform in^the laws on those subjects, in which he^has the symp thy and support of a large^and rapidly growing chits in this terri^^tory. The looseness with which the laws^have been drawn hat permitted a license^in the prosecution of gambling especial^^ly that was never contemplated when^the system was adopted of allowing^ginning under sanction of law. The l\-^MFtMMMT some weeks ago called alien^tioil to the fact that while the Compiled^Statutes prohibited certain so-called^games of chance which are generally^onctMlt-d to be unfair they arc^licensed under an act of the ex^^tra session, ami to day, under the ruling^if the former county attorney, the conn^ty Is licensing tables at which the most^harefaced robbery is perpetrated hourly.^The very least that the legislature can^lo it to strictly prohibit, under (.smalty^the playing of unfair games, and if It^can be brought It t .ke the governor's^view of the subject as a whole, so much^the tadter. Therecommendation that the salary^^f the superintendent of public iiislrut^lion he increased ami that he be granted^suitable assistance in the prosecution of^his very important duties will not be^stTiously opposed in any quarter when^the gtMhl of the young is considered. It^is essential that the educational advan^^tages of the territory be extended, and^that the eltlciency of teachers oe lu^creased by all practicable mean*. Thegeueral reader will be given i^wider knowledge of the territory by I^careful perusal of (iov. Leslie's message^which is presented in its entirety in order^that every subscriber of the Imirprn^M H I may read and judge for himself of^(he merits of its suggestions, which tie^could not do intelligently upon an aal^stract of the document. lhaBala of a Orocary and Iquor Stora by^ftam Hart to Mia Uncle.

HELENADAILY INDEPENDENT. WASIT STOLEN JohnMurphy, a Boosttr, on Trial for^Embezzling: Money From His^Employer. A QUESTION OF LAW. Interesting Developments in How^Games of Chance are S ml to^be Run in Helena for^Rtvmue. AjH-cuhiir rase la on trial In Just *^Plwarlier'a court. The evidence Is all in,^ami the arguments will hi*ard thta NfaV^inn. John Murphy in aroused of robbing^his employers, TfcSSJjM and Martin Crahan,^of 9104 Murphy claims ttiat he won the^money at one of the innumerable games^run at Crahan's saloon and licensed K *^^bUng house on Man atreet Murphy Is^familiirlv known as a booiter for a team^bltug house, and his conviction or acquittal^will have a great deal to do with tin*^booster of the future, whether under the^law he will be permitted to win at games^and keep the money for himself or whether^If he do anything of the kind he Is liable^Co arrest an 1 imprisonment tor larcny.^The rase is a peculiar one and involves a^good many law point*, whatever may be^the opinion of outsiders, ao Its decision^will be looked for with interest Accordingto the evidence of the Messrs^Crahan, who are represented by Attorneys^Wallace ;in.t lUlliet, Murphy wis torui r^ly in their employ Thomas Crahan testi^^fied that Murphy wv* an employe and that^btsdutics were to play at games when in^ten-st in them was ttiggiug, so as to keep^up the interest, and that he wai given^money for that purpose. Whether he won^or lost, he waa exuected to return the^money of the tirtn when the irames closed^If tie hail not h'*' it. and receive for his*^compensation $3 a day. This money he^had always paid to Murphy. The nittht of^Dec. at Murphv disappeared having in^his poss- sston $UU belonging to the firm^and that he wished to ret-over. Mr.Casey Murphy's attorney, qtaat^^tinned Crahan closely as to the manner of fameMurphy was supposed to work for.^Ie said he ran no game but what was^licensed and in the eyes of the law a legal^game. The game in question was a species^of short faro, but was not short faro. Cra^^han then explained after some legal wrang^ling how the game was played. Mr.Casey^Were your cards marked,^Mr Crahan F. Mr.Crahan^Not that I know of. If^they were marked it would be much easier^for the player to win. Severalwitnesses testified to what Mur^phy's business was when with the Crahan's^and that he won the money while in their^employ. Murphytook the stand in his own de^^fense, lie said he was employed as a^booster and that his business was to rope^in suckers. For the past two weeks he^worked there he received but $2 a night,^because there was not much business be^^ing done, lie said if he had roped in a^$3uti sucker he would probably have re^^ceived SlOor $15 as his share of the pro^^ceeds. The defendants description of the^game was lucid enough to those who un^^derstand the gam* I He .said the cards^were all marked and that it was impossible^for any one to win unless it was a booster.^The dealer would press his thumb down in^the aperture In the middle of the box and^would always hold the high card back, so^as to win when n e ^ary. liewas asked by Mr. Wallace if there^was anything wrong with the box, and re^^plied if the attorney was to play a game^against him he couldn't win till he died.^On being pressed to know If there wa-^anything wrong with the SOI he replied^that he didn't know, but trie cards VMM^wrong, as they were marked. Crahanproduced a box and cards,hut the^defendant did not know how to deal. He,^however, doggedly persisted in his state^ment that no one could win.and that it waa^a sure thing game. He further testified he^playe 1 hisown money against the game and^he won the 9104 from 91 he had In his E.ek.t He was often in the habit of play^g against other games in the house, but^that is the first time he had ever played^against the game, for which he was eiu^l^lo\.-d to cap with his own money. Thetheory of the defense Is that a man^cannot an brills money from any one If the^business culling for the use of that money^Is not a legitimate calling. The prosecu^tlon on the other hand maintains that all^gam tiling games in Helena that are licensed^are legal and one who embezzles money^from an owner of a gume commits an ot^ten^e the same as if he were to steal from^^ dry g)KKls or grocery merchant.

BenntttNot Satlifisd With the Result ot tt^November Election. ;.A. liennett, of Missoula, has been In^the city since the legislature convened, and^Is awaiting the time when t hi president of^the council shall appoint the committee on^elections, which it Is expected will be done^to-day. When this Is done Mr. iiennett^proposes to present his claims before the^council, and will attempt to show by evi^^dence and witnesses that he was duly^elected over Walter M. bickford, his op^^ponent, in the November struggle,^and believes therefore that bla^democratic adversary is occupying a^aeat In the council which^be (Bennett) Is entitled to. This contest^recalls the time when the matter was dn-^elded in favor of Hickford, before Judge^Moan at Missoula. Iiennett claims that^one day the canvassing judge threw out^the Trout creek returns, which gave Ben^^nett two majority, and the following day^reconsidered his actum and counted the^im emet in, which gave Bickford 11 major^ity, and upon this result the latter gentle^^man was declared elected. The Bonner^returns were never counted, having been^thrown out, where Iiennett was certain he^had a good majority. Another point^which it is said Itennet will bring to bear,^is that at Heron there was a possible 66^votes. A worker for Iiennett had had 36^of these cast for his support,^but when the returns came In^His alleged that the result showed 106^votes cast, there heing but twenty six for^It nnett. When the republican contestant^was approached by a reporter for the 1m-^hki'K.n t^KNT jesterday, he said he did not^care a snap for the oftire as bis many busl^tiesa interests required his attention; also^that he had the fro-oddest feelings for Mr^Blckf^-rd, but in iustlce to the constituency^which supported him, he was obliged to^take some action. Mr.Hickford was also seen. He waa^aware of the fact that the contest would^come up, but felt perfectly confident that^be would retain his seat He real^Ized that a republican majority^In the council was *a!^lnst^htm, but as he considered them an honest,^impartial body, he had no fears from that imrce,' I shall prove,^ said Mr. Bick^ford, *'that 1 was elected by not omy levenmajority, but by at least one bun^l'ed more.^^The resuit of this contest will be atched^Ith interest Conversation among the^legislators on the subject indicates that^the^ are generally favorable fortbereten^tion of Mr. Bickford, not only tor his su^^periority from an intellectual standpoint,^but It is feared by some that a heated con^Iroversy might develop some uopleasaut nf crets ormat ion concerning the republican ^se^U of the campaign.'* Mtpnme| ourt Uriels neatly aud^quit-kit dune at this oltire.

HELENADAILY INDEPENDENI. OBERLYON IND AN NEEDS DUTIES OF SUPERINTENDENTS. TheCommissioner of Indian Affair*^Discusses the Best Thing to beC^Done for the Nation's Wards. nationaltopics pertaining to the Knights^of Labor. Among other thing* he stated^that one of the four alleged founders of the^Knights of Labor who are trying to estab^^lish a new order in Philadelphia recently^offered to sell out the new order to him tor^$400, and he had satisfactory proof that the^same person had previously offered to nell^out the new order for ^IO0, and he had sat^^isfactory proof that the same person had^previously offered to sell out to Johu Wan^naniaker. Washington,Jan. 15 ^Commissi uer^of Indian Affair* OfcMaJ in his annual re^^port dim-usaes the art of June *^*W, lHhK, by^which Mm authority ami duties of superin^^tendents ot Indian sellouts were extended.^The commissioner reaches the conclusion^that the most natiral, economical and^effective administration of Indian seho ^is^will be secured by enlarging the preroga^^tives of a superintendent^first, by placing^under his Immediate charge all matters^connected with all branches of Indian ed^ucatiou, instead of restricting him to two^lines of work In connection with^but one class of schools; and^second, by providing that he shall per^form all the orticial functions necessary In^the tliarharge of such euiarged duties^through the bureau of Indian affairs, under^which arrangement the commissioner of^Indian affair* may place at the disposal of^the supeiiniendent the entire official ma^^chinery of the bureau by the use of which^uearl) all busiut'ss in relatiou to Indian^schools is, and must be, transacted. The^commissioner IMMMttKHh some important^chauges in the methods of making pur^^chases of Indian supplies. A more satis^^factory method, he thinks would Isfl for the^Indian bureau to suuwit U^ bid^ders a standard sample of each^and every article, instead of^having submitted 10 ^t a large variety of^samples of each article, Thus the |MMM^of price would aloue have tu be considered^in awarding contracts, and nothing more^would be r*^|Uired of the cnmini*^ioiicr^than the tnakiug of the award to the lowest^bidder. To make the inspection of such^goods as blankets, clothing, etc., infallible,^accurately adjusted machinery and oth^ r^appliances for testing the strength of fab^^rics could and should be supplied The^commissioner advises the. extrusion of the^civil lanlm law la ths Indian service, and^says he would advise this extension be^made immediately. If he were not fearful,^It Ukcii now, it would be robbed of much^of ;i^ ifecltvt ncss by being attributed to^pan is tn niolives. 1..lusiou the cuiumisHloiier says the I(Milan is comnienciiig to appreciate the^fact mat he must become civilized, must,^as in-1 (.presses it, ^lam the white man's^waj^ or pencil from the face of the earth.^11c should be taught how to work, and all^tin m'hools that are opened tor his chudien^should he schools in which they will be in^^structed in the use of agricultural and me^^chanical implements, and the ludianshould^be taught not only how to work hut also^that it is his duty to work for the degrading^communism of the terrible reservation sys^^tem gives to the Individual no Incentive^to lu hoi, but puis a premium on^idleness, and makes It fashionable BrutalCrime In Ohio.

OPPOSEADMISSION. JR M. Br.de of Sail Lake, Vggj Why Utah la^not fitted lor Statehood Washington,Jan. 15 ^The hearing by^the houee committee ou territories on the^claims of the territory of I tab tor admis^^sion as a state of the 1'niou was continued^to dsy. Mr. J. It. Mdiride, of Salt Lake^City, addreaned the committee in opposi^^tion to e proportion for admission. He^represented, he said, what might he termed^the sentiment of the territory. Whenever^the Mormons were in the majority* for^some reason or other, the) had been unable^to get ah.ng with anybody except their^own people. Their history had been one^of nannlnnt struggle against the people.^There Is open repellion in the territory of^C^ah against the la*a ot tfie t'nlted Statea.^lie cited IngtngMI to show, as he claimed,^how thoroughly it was understood that^even titles to laud came to the people not^from the government, but through the^Mormon church. Why is tt, he asked, that^these people have been unable to live in^harmony with any people against them'.'^There was no explanation except the one^that they themselves gave, that their sys^^tem of government was at war with all^others. The theory of the Mormon church,^he said was that all man made govern^^ments are illegal. In a word, his objec^^tions to the admission of Ctah as a state^waa because he believed a majority of the^people..t Ctahare theorrats, who believe^in a government of the prlesthiHsl, and do^not believe in any other system of govern^^ment. Further hearing was postponed un^^til Wednesday. Ingallato-day laid before the senate the^memorial from the legislature of Idaho^protesting against the proposed admission^ot I tub. The memorial says that tbf.^members of the treasonable organization^known as the Mormon church largely out^^number the loyal Qanjttsl citizens of said^territory, and consequently will and for^many years to come would have absolute^control of all elections therein; that all^pretenses ot the abandonment of bigamy,^polygamy and other crimes against the^laws of the I'nihd Stales are MSJtenseS^only, in ail e for the purpose of deceiving^persons unacquainted with the, abhorred^practice* of I he Mormon church, and thus^create a feeling favorable to the proposed^admission of ihe aaid territory of t'tah.^The memorial asKs also that a legislative^commission be cieateil for the government^of said territory. (MiSaturday last the report nt the tab^hearing was incomplete. I he main point^ot the omitted stati merits were as follows:^Ferry attacked sharply the constitution ot^the proposed new state, alleging that in it^there was no protection for the person of^any woman, except as against a single as^sault and hatbry. Tin* church controlled^the state, marriages were made behind^sealed doors, ami it was not easy to learn^of them. The proposed conntituuon might^d-tine polygnni] to be a misdemeanor, out^not as it should, declare it to tie a felony.^Polygamy was not dead and clothing^( tab with statehood would not permit a^(^entile to take any part in the government^of tfie state. It would Ih* as In the time^when he first went to the territory, when^there were less than half a do/.-n QnnttlM^In the legislature. Business interests^would also suffer If Utah^were made a state. The terri^^tory has already tried to levy a^tax on mining because the business^brought in an element that the Mormon^church could not control. Came inter^^rupted the speaker pi declare that nodis^crunin. tion wmule between mining and^other kinds of business; tiny were all^taxed upou their valuation. Coutinuiiuf,^Feny Uild ot the growth of the detitile^vote in his county and asserted the young-^Bff element In the Mormon church was^leaving it. lie stoutly maintained that^until I'tah had at least a majority of loyal^Auoti.-an citizens, ready to submit to the^laws, it was rmt tit for statelxMHl. IMegateHean, of Arizona, said though^he owed nothing to the Mormons, as he al^^ways bait been opposed politically by them,^he desired to say a word for his Mormon^neighbor* whom he had known tor twenty^^ear* He had found ibem to be as goi^d a^class of people as he bad ever met In his^life, and he hail been raised In New Eng^^land. They were honest, temperate and^economical to the last degree. The litera^^ture i.l this count r^ contained MOW mlsrep^ipsentattolis about the Mormons than about^any other subject. Polygamy was as dead^as slavery and a little more so. PoliticsIn Franca. Pakim,Jan 15^The anarchists have^issued a manifesto to the electors in the^department of the Seine in which they ap^^peal to the people not to vote for any can^didate. The manifesto says: ^The senate^and chamber of deputies are powerless to^emancipate the people, and a revolution^will alone frectheui from their oppressors. FliHpiet,president of the council ofi isters,met Laur, a member of the deputies,^in the lobby ot the chamber to-day nnd^told him his article commenting on the ap^plication of the secret service fund during^the recent elections was a base calumny^and challenged film to Justify It from^the tribune of the chamber.

Floquet retorted that he would^neither retract nor receive Laur's second*. Jacques,the opponent of Houlanger in^the seine department, haa published are-^ply to Itoulanner.

CURBSTHEIR POWER. JudgeTuley's Decision in the Arbeit-^er Bund Case in Favor of Free,^dom of Speeah. NOINJUNCTION GRANTED AnOpinion That the Police Have no^Right to Prohibit a Public Meet^^ing on Mere Suspicion That^Evil is Intended. TOJoin lh^ Colony Kvakt,Mich.. Ian. 15.^Allen ('amp^bell, proprietor of the bank of Kvart. has^skipped to Canada with f 10,000, the funds^of the bank and village of Evart, of which^be was treasurer. Ciihaoo, Jan. 16-Judge Tuley, of the^circuit court, in a decision rendered to day,^holds that the anarchists and socialisU^have not forfeited their constitutional right^to assemble peaceably and discuss any^(piestion which Interests them, provided^they do not plot to carry out their ideas by^the use of force against the constituted au^^thority. This decision was the outgrowth^of the application made in December last^t^y the AriM iter Hund fur an injunc^^tion to restrain the police^from interfering with their meetings.^Judge Tuley's decision, which is more than^six thousand words in length, begins by^reciting the history of the case, stating that^the particular meeting which was made a^test case was called for the purpose of^hearing a report of the Arbelter liund^committee on ttie constitution and by laws,^and of completing its organization; that^the only objects of the society, according^to the allegations of the constitution,^a*0fi to secure to its members^mutual benefit, social intercourse and^political education; that the police were^Invited to t.e present an. did actually^by show of force, prevent the holding of^the proposed meeting. On behalf of the^city authorities this interference is justified^tgi the ground that the name ^JLfbeHer^Bund^ is a men* cloak; that the real pur^pose of its member* is to plot to overthrow^the constitution and laws of the United^stab s and this state; that as police officers^it is within their jurisdiction to forbid such^um lilies in order to prevent the commis^^sion ot mine. The chancellor says: ^I^lind no reason to differ from the master in^chancery in his conclusion that the evi^d* n^ e adduced fails to show that the pro^posed ussemblage was tor unlawful pur-^feOOO| because of the condition of member^ship, that ^only persons of reputable char^^acter w ho declare for the abolition of the^inhuman wage system can become mem^^bers.^ The solicitor Is in error iu^the supposition that the law upholds or de^mands any particular system for carrying^on Industrial enterprises. The master re^^ports that there was no ^\;^dt nee to show the meaning of^the declaration that the society favors^^the abolition of the capitalistic system of^exploitation,^ nor of the purpose ^to assist^in the tiitht against exploitation.^ The^word ^exploitation^ is a Krench word, lor^which in Knglmh we have no precise eqalv^liOBt 1 understand the object Intended is^opposition to the present system of using^capital; that it shall be so used that labor^will reeetve a greater share of the com^^bined earnings of labor and capital than at^on ami, and that capital shall not be used^so as to oppress the people by combinations^and monopolies. I maj be mistaken in my^interpretation, but whatever may he the^meaning, as the object Is to lie accom^pliabed by the ^enlightenment and educa^^tion^ of the masses. 1 find no law which^prohibits the formation of societies for such^purpose. The tneuthers of the society may^seek to disseminate views or principles^w hu h, in the opinion of the great majority^ot our citi/ens, are against the public wel^^fare, but they have the right to publicly meet^and discuss them in a ^juiet and peaceable^manner and make converts to their views^it they are able to do so. The ^pieatiotiof^the relations of capital and labor in its^varied phases, and many others, like the^question of the right of exclusive individual^ownership of land or the single tax theory,^are burning questions of the hour that^have come to stay, and must be met. Re^^ferring lo the claim that the purposes of^the society are the same as those of ttpti ^^et at., Judge Tuley says he is of opinion^there is a vital difference^that the inter^^nationalists declare for force and for an^organization for the purpose of rebellion^and for an ^Inexorable revolution for^assassination,^ while in the constitution of^this siKMety there is nothing to indicate^that their objects are to be accomplished^by such measures. In any contingency if^it appeared that this society was such an^one as the supreme court describes them to^he, it could have no standing in court,^men cannot appeal to the law for OffOtOe^tion while overthrowing the law. The^supreme court denounced the princi^^ples of anarchy and socialism, but^ft did not decide that either^anarchists or socialists were criminals.^I'he couit held that anarchists WOO com^^mit crime are criminals, but pronounced no^judgment of outlawry against anarchists^as a boty. Judge Tuley then takes up the^claim on behalf of the police that they had^the riifht to prevent the uniting and thus^preventing crime, and holds that the police^cannot be given such latitude; that If the^polios may at their discretion do what they^think will prevent what may in their^judgment result In crime, legislatures,^courts and government officers would l^e^entirely superrluou*. ^1 am astounded to^find that at this day, in this free country,^It should be urged by affidavit and argu^Osonta la a court of justice that a court of^^ficial ran forbid a society or a public meet^^ing because of his belief that this society is^a treasonable one, and its members area^band to commit treasonable acts. If this^be the law, then every political, literary,^religious .-r other society would hold their^constitutional right of free speech and^peaceable assembly at the mercy of petty^IHdiceman. In no other city in the I nlon^sioent here in Chicago, have the police of^tibials attempted to prevent the right of^free speech or peaceable assembly upon^unwarranted pretense and assumptions of^power. It Is time to call a halt. The right^id free speech and peaceable assembly Is^the very life blood of freedom. You might^as well expect a human tualy to exist after^the circulation of the blood has been sus^^pended, as to expect the continued ex istence^of liberty when the citizen Is deprived of^the right of free speech and peace-^able assembly. Any abuse of the^right of free speech or peace^^able assembly must be punish d. The^police by the arrest without warrant and^by such Illegal acts as are here complained^csusemore disorder than they cure and^create more crime than they prevent.^ In^conclusion the chancellor says that Inas^^much as the city authorittea have under^taken to respect the law as laid down by^htm lu this case, he would not Issue the in^^junction prayed for, because it was not^needed.
