Tim North ern Pacific officers declared that they would “ see” the Great North ern and “ go still better.” The Montana people on the line of the two roads thereupon made all their preparations to come on- Montana day, which liad been set for Sept. 30. Now comes the an nouncement that the roads will make no reduction. Consequently the commissioner has been com pelled, though reluctantly, to call the day “ off,” and there will be no celebration by the people of that young stale, which has been so deeply interested in the Fair and has done so much for it. Railroad fare, sleeping! car expen ses, and meals would bring the expense of the round-trip from Montana to Chicago to §97 50. It . that^Tts people could pay that sum for transportation in addition to meals and beds en route and the living and sight-seeing expenses after they got here. Montana is not populated by nii’lionaires, though it possesses a number of those “ well fixed” individuals. The charge is an excessive one It amounts fully to three cents a mile each wav for a <lis(nnce ol 1,500 (o 1.G00 milts, and is the maximum charge which ought to be made under ordinary eiicum stances. 1 he people of Montana de-erve better treatment than this at the hands of the greedy, over reaching, sandbagging, land grant, railroad companies. The nev\ state has been to large expense in connection with the Fair. It has erected a handsome state build ing. II has made a splendid ex. hi hit, paiticularly in minerals, woods, fiuits, grains and other products. And now its people are not allowed to come here and see what their state lias done. They have been frozen out by the greedy roads. These wDe rail load official's who fancy that they know it all. and who a-sutne that every one who advises them is a fool, are acting on the principle that, it is.a better policy for them to c.harge a , maximum rate and carry nobody, thereby keeping the crowd-at. home so that it cannot see the Fair, than to reduce the r rates so that the largest possible number could come to Chicago and this in face of the fact that their trains, loaded with passen gers at the low rates, would pay them better even than freight at the high rates. On a long pull beginning at Portland, for in stance, a„nd ending at Chicago, a cent a mile is ample charge. It is an easy pull. There is plenty <>f coal along the route and there is only one mountain range to cross. If the people of Montana had received fair treatment from the railroad companies they would have come in large numbers, for from the very beginning they have manifested a live]}1* interest in everything connected with the Fair. Their disappointment will be keen-and their feeling of re sentment against these sandbagg ing roads will be still keener. Chicago, also, will be disap pointed, for of all the new states none would have been more wel come than Montana, which has more than done its part in making the Fair a success. * ' And This From A Democratic Paper. — In a letter addressed by Judge Goodwin to Prest. Cleveland and printed in the Washington Post, the editor of the Salt Lake Tri bune pleads with the president to rise to the majesty of the trust committed to him and “ be presi dent of the whole country.” We do not believe that. Mr, Cleveland has lhe ability or the courage to do it. lie is manipulating con gress and enforcing his own no tions in a-manner more offensive than anything the country has witnessed sinc-d the days of An drew Johnson. He would be as deeply in disrepute to-day as ever Johnson was but lor the immense influence of the money power.— Anaconda Standard. ■ \ * ■ - ■ Pimers a Convenion. l Gov.

W ashington , Sept. 23.—The president of the United ' S<ates will be arraigned in the United .States senate Monday for violat ing the spirit of the constitution in endeavoring to destroy the in dependence of the law-making branch of the government by seeking to coerce cbngress into the passage of the repeal bill. Notice to this effect was clearly indicated in a resolution pre sented this morning by Stewart, of Nevada, upon which he an-; nounced he would address the senate Monday. The resolution declares that the independence of the co ordinate departments of the government must be main tained, and the use of power and influence in one department to control the action of another is a violation of the constitution and destructive to our form of govern ment. Coi bett-Mitchell Match Made. N e w Y oke , Sept. 25.—James J. -Corbett, the pugilistic- champion signed the formal articles of agree ment at Asbury Park this morn ing to fight with Charles Mitchell, the English champion, before the Coney Island -Athletic club, some time in December. Mitchell has already signed the articles. Hot in Order. W ash in g to n , Sept. 26.—The house will devote its entire atten tion, beginning to-day, to the Tucker bill for the repeal of the federal election law. The debate will run according to the special order adopted Friday until Tues day, Oct.. 9. It is probable that the debate will be of an exceed-, ingly lively character. To Make New Mexico a State.
