slC In many laws already passed, wile I are of as little practical benefit astl i hey had never been placed in thstatut Politically, it might be well 4o remark, bath Houses are Democratic. In the Council, composed of 12 member, lion. Frank L. Worden, of Missoula cointy, will alone represent the Republican party. The House, which will consist of 24 members, is comr posed of 17 Democrats and 7 Republlcans.

It is slfe. ta ventur the pledlction before the passage of a law, even before the organiuation othese bodies, that if partian measures are enacted the Republican party will not be entitled to the blame. Legislation of a partisan class, not likely to occupy much of the time of the forthcoming session. Many subjects of importance, widch rise above party prejudicesor local desires, demand careful and considerate examInation that laws may be enacted which will work for the good of the entire Territory. A brighter day, the dawning of which is dimly discernible through the mists of doubt and and suspense which have for so long overshadowed this vast Territory, is almost here.

communication, a subject of endless debates in preceding Legislatues, has come to our dooid without aid, and another year will work marvelous changes in this once eiolated section of the country. With the coming of the railroads will come capital to open and operate manufactories, and the incresed demand for labor will bring within the borders of Montana the class of immalgratio needed fr work. A lawless, profligate element will as certainly be attracted, but in anticipation of such a class of citizens provision can be made for their government. A question to come before the Legislature will be that of the division of this county. Whether or not such a measure will become a law is to be decidedand if passed it should be submitted to a vote of the taxpaying residents of the county.

A line of division can be agreed upon without serious diliculty, we believe, and once agreed upon should remain the line without being subject to alterationby menwho know little if anything ofthe topography of the country to be divided and yet who are likely to vote upon a measure in direct opposition to the wishes of citizens most interested. We have confidence enough in the ability of members comprising the Legislative Assembly to expect the enactment of laws to govern Montana during the next two years which will work foi the good of those now here and those who will come. Wise legislation was never before so urgently needed, and the men who frame or vote for the passage of a law cannot exercise too great an amouut of caution. In acting justly toward all sections, working for their welfare as though each were the home of the member and his constituents, laws will be put upon the statutes to which all Montanians will refor with pride and the man who acts thus be bonestly deserving of the plaudit well done.

4 TES SEW ADXINLEATIhTZO. I-o Speculations as to who shall constitute the Cabiuet of the next administration are rife in L- politiel circles.

Whattaker Case. WASHImoTox, Dec. a Cabinet being present but Devens, the Whittaker case was discussed without final action.

The Cabinet do not believe that Whittaker should be given another chance at West Point. An argument was submitted, eontainingtwo alternatives: Whitteke should have a court martial trial; and, he be reinstated in the Academy. The argument says the cadet was placed at a great disadvantage at his first trial, whose findings were only partial, by being obliged to prove himself innocent. His absence romom the classes during the trial necessarily put him behind in hi. dneet med besreaes, his marks, as shown by the records, are not so low as to justify expulsion.

The Cabinet oa Whittaker. CalcAoo, December Jourtnme Washington special says The Cabinet today was not united on the question of the Whittaker court martial. 8ecretarieEvarts and 8ehurs bth strongly opposed the proposition, and advocated Whittaker's dismissal, in accordance with the recommendation of the Court of Inquiry.

fore order a court martial, and if Whlttaker was shown to be guilty be would be dismissed from the service, and if innocent he should not be made to suffer. In army circles the opinion Is that the charges against Whittaker cannot be proven, and that he will be given another chance at West Point under General Howard. Msllag In States. Nw Yoma, Jan.

It becomes me to say my Good-bye. My with sorrowfulness at this rupture tells bow you are Imbedded in it. Precious memories, crowding- thbeseties upon me this hour, witness how lovingly good you have beet to me. Let me say out of my sadness. The valleys and hillside.

the very nooks and crannies of your Territory are dear to me from associaton. Your clergy and men and women and children and homes are more dear from ties of laction. I were a stone statue could I speak this farewell unmoved. Sad indeed sit I now to write It. Sadder settles the feeling at this my oversight of you ends, that I have not done for you or among you as well as I ought or might.

Things have been done that I ought not to have done, and left undone that I ought to have done. You have once and again said kind words to me about my diligence, and as you were pleased to see and all it, my faithfulness. Love prompted thes words, and my heart is touched at reelling them. But God knows bow, to Him and me, this your picture Is marred by selflshness and earthlnes. The book of my pastoral stewardship of your souls closes Itself now uate the one only openiug of the last Great Day.

I am praying Gad to forgive the debts and lacks, the wastes and lossee and sins of unfaithfulness in that record, for the merciful Savior's sake But saddest crowds the many of you whom I dearly love, and who have been tenderly kind to me, have not placed yourselves freely and fully on the Lord's shie, as earnest, communing Christians. Der, dear ftends, I beg you, I pray for you, ture you to God in faith and prayer and obedience and Holy Baptism and Holy Communion. Seek ye the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Be grateful to your Savior, and kind to your own souls. Waning life has no real happiness in it for you and me, and coming death no well-founded peace, without Christ.

But be my closing word one of gladness. Montana has a Bishop of its own. 'Tis the right thing for Montana to have. 'Tis high time for her to have him. Let us thank God and take courage," you with me, and I with you.

I beg you love him and help him, as you have loved and helped me. Give him your full confidence. Stay up his hands. Cheer his heart. Under him prayerfully make you the Master's cause grow and the Church's life strong.

Brethren Beloved Good-bye That means, God be with you He will helpfully bide with you, if you trustfully lean on Him. My love and prayers are yours. With an almost bursting heart I lay down my pastoral staff as Bishop of Montana. God help me. Amen.

DANIEL S. Tvrrl.E. A Good Word for Motana. Under the caption of Our Near Neighbors," the Salt Lake Tribunme In its issue of January 1st has the following in regard to this Territory But the country north of us is the region which now possesses most attractions. Whether Idaho or Montana is to bear away the palm, can not yet be told; but each is secure in winning glory enough for one Territory.

Butte is to have within five years a many inhabitants as Salt Lake City has now. There does not seem to be any doubt of that fact. It has a cluster of mines which will require thousands of men to work so soon as the necessary machinery can be got in there. Early in the coming year It will have direct railroad communication with the world, and then it will have a boom Indeed. That is but' one district, while dosen others claim their full share of confidence.

The Northern Pacific has crossed the border from the east, and in two years more the headwaters of the Yellowstone will be an old settled country, so to speak. The passenger in the palace car riding through that country will become an unbeliever In the tales of hardship, pain and danger suffered by those who first blazed the trails and upreared the signal stations In that land, that civilization might follow. Besides her mines, Montana Is full of forests and clear streams, and whose empires in extent of waving grass and rich valleys wait for the coming of the husbandman. The long winter nights and the cold will make homes very dear spots there, and will msake every domestic animal a pet. In such lands patriotism is always deep seated; the men grow to be a strong, brave tender race, and home being the dearest spot on mother i the adored center.

Such a race can alway be counted upon when courage, strength, patience and self-sacrifice are requniied of a people." Sheep In Winter. National Live Stook Journal. Two extremes should be avoided in the matter of shelter. One may be Insuficient, while the other may be so close a. to be unhealthy.

The majority of mistaken are with those who shelter insufficiently. In such instances more food is consumed than would otherwise be required, and no corresponding beneite, serue. The shelters on the sheep farm should be made to increase ln else as rapidly as the Sock multiplies its numbers. The water supply should be carefully looked to. A flock of a given number drink more water in winter than will be needed when on pasture.

If such an arrangement can be economieally secured, scaeso to water twice a day is better than once. This for two kesons: 1. The more timid animals, which ae JIkely to be held back tathe morning by eiratromgerfelows, have a chance whenoa he latter are not so eager; and, all danger from over drinking of cold water is obviated. Tde of snow in lieu of water should only be forced upon the flock under the most netessity. Stock will live under such but satisfactory thrift will not be seeaed.

Ewes with lambs should, so the as practicbl, be fed sad sheltered separately from the aion-breeding animals, as the erwdiar sad meae aspid mevemnes of the latter are apt seeh separatie makes more eonvenient certal little attentio to wh ewes sae eatsled as the weanirseaso aarpchi, ad which mayinppahl en htasm.
