IfA. TWtfAti CONTENTION , The national republican convcntioTi Inch mot in Chicago in 1880 , nnd which orainatcd Gen.

Ii raa no thoughtlcaa proposition ; it was ; > olicy fully considered , nnd deliberately ccidcd , A resolution was offered em lowcrinp the national committees to pro > are the rules for the election of dole atcs , and to this the following provisi vim oflbrcd in an nmundmcnt. nnd wa wo believe unanimouily adopted : "Pro idcd , that ouch methods or rules shoulc ncludc nnd accuro the noveral congrca ional districts in the United States tin ight to elect their own delegates to tin intional convention. " No decision , o rder of any committee , atatu or national H so high nnd 10 binding ns is thiaspocifn rdor. It not merely ordains , but guar ntccs to districts ovcrywhoro the righ > f direct representation in the nntiona council of the party. In doing this , moreover , the republican can national convention struck out ni low and untried ground. It simply re urnod to the early prnctico of the re > ublicnn party. The unit rule ia th outgrowth of vorv rccont party abuses L'lio election of dologatcs by the district of the state nnd within the districts wa , ho invariable rule , It was ouch , too > y virtue of the fact thereof the ropuh ican party was the party of the people [ 'herein ' the party wns in line witli it ilitudo on other issues which docidci nd distinguished it from the democrat ! ) arly , which always wrought mainly tt navnify the state machine. The demo cratio state delegation atood for the stat irganixation. It did not represent an < itand for the people. But this part ; rhich had its birth as the people's part ; oproscntcd the people and not n stat tmchino. Its delegates in national con ontiou brought their crodontialn fron no state organization ; the republicans o ho districts gave them their authorit ind their commission. In 1851 ! the re mblican party held its lirat nn ional convention nt Philadelphia ' . ( , wns composed of dologntoa who cam itraight and direct from the pcoplo. I : L800 , the convention which , at Chicagc mined Abraham Lincpln nn the atandari > oarcr of the parly of the people , re coivcd its delegates chosen in like man icr. The district delegates were olccto jy the republicans within the district In 1804 , and again in 1808 , the anmorul ) rovoilod ; and in the latter year Mi Don Cameron , of Pennsylvania , wa elected ns n district delegate from th Dauphin district. That gentleman won , o the national convention aa the roprc sontativo , and ns the champion of th district principle. The atato convention period cam nftorwarda. Under the new rule , c usage , howoror , the wrongs soon becam flagrant and decisive , until in 1880 , t JliicnRO , the national convention called inlt , and deliberately returned to th nctliod under which the party "of th conlOjCarao into power twenty years be ore. ore.Tho The promise seems to bo that the cor vcntion which moots in Juno in Ohicag nay have to raise an omphnti protest against a willful disregard of th njtinction laid down four years ago b ; ho national convention which mot i that city. A movement appears to b on foot to concentrate the olcction < delegates at general state convention To do this is , under the circumstance ; to take the choice of dolngatoa out of tl : lianda of the people. The people cannc bo expected to look on such n policy wit favor. Two alternative resources m open to the republican members of dii tricts. They can either elect their ow delegates , or they can provide that tli atato convention shall imnply bo hold t ratify their already declared choice , i addition to its chief purpose which ia tli selection of delegates at largo to ropn aunt the state. THK oilbrt of the Philharmonic aooiot ko supplement the oilbrts of the Glv club by n largo mixed chorus , nn thereby to add to the variety and hoighto the o ( loot a of which the art is susceptibli and finally to crown the work with grot and successful festivals whenever puaai bio , is praiseworthy in the highest di groo.

SENATOU VAN WYOK , in speaking i his resolution of inquiry as to whoth there has been any contract between tl Western Union and Baltimore & Oh looking to .consolidation , said ; "Tl resolution was , of course , based upc what I believe to ho credible informath that Benin arranuoment of that kind w in contemplation , and I hope that tl committee will find it out , as I have i confidence in the apparent movement create a now opposition company. 1 b Hove that it will result aa nil the othc have , and that the people vrill derive i onofit from it. " Mr. Van Wyck claim ! o bo ndviscd that r/ithin a year n paper f some sort looking to n consolidation jotwocn those companies was signed by lie oflicials of the Baltimore & road ; thai . was sent back to Baltimore for some hanges , nnd that the Baltimore company lien concluded not to execute it.

If that disease prevail mywhoru , it is certainly not in the west where thfl vast herds of cattle nro raised No plouro-pnouinonin has yet boon dia covered in any cattle received from th vest nt the Union stock ynrda in Chicago The , probability ia that the protcat that i ) oing made by cattlo-ownora and stocl non generally will bo the means of dc 'eating the bill for the creation of tin superfluous bureau. The fact is that wo already have to nany bureaus. Notwithstanding tha vo have n bureau of utatistics , Sen ator Blair haa introduced n bil iroviding for a "apodal" burca of labor statistics , to bo attached to th ntcrior department with a head clor , drawing § 2,500 a your , nnd as many sul ordinate clerks as may bo needed.

All these taken with a mild do- ooolion of Jordan water and sago tea , ill mnko the excursion of 1884 the pool f ita predecessor of Loadvillo nnd Soid- itz memory. Following closely on the heels of the collapsed Loadvillo banks , comes the do- ails of the wholesale swindling openv .ions of n trio of contractors , surpassing , ho Carbonate cashiers by several degrees A year or moro ago , whan railroad con .racts . were glutting the market anti aboror'a wages high , aomo UOO Italian ! , yore imported by some of their owr countrymen , nnd unmercifully fleeced o : every dollar they earned from the time ; hey aot foot on Colorado soil. Noarlj all these deluded unfortunates were un acquainted with the English language , md consequently were unable to make < nown their condition to authorities , Se completely were they in the clutches 6l ihoir importers that for eighteen months they were compelled to submit to the meanest spccioa of robbery , and it wai only when starvation threatened theii lives that their treatment wna brought tc the attention of the authorities. The atory of their wronga ia enough to start n full-Hedged nock-tio party. On starting [ or America they contracted to pay 21 cents a day for every work day to Messrs. Don Carlos Paladino & Co. They were shipped from place to place whore "cheap" labor was required. They paic the wily Don Crat-class faro , while he secured reduced rates or frco transportn tion and pockotcd the balance. II < secured them work for seven months ou of eighteen nnd loft them to ruatlo tin best they could the ether olovon. Bu the last straw that completely wreckee their spirits nnd landed them penniless a Alamosa , is thus told in a petition to tin Italian minister at Washington : At thi beginning of this year Don Carlos prom iaod ua six months continuous work , i wo would pay into lii'i hands the sum o $10 to take ua to the place where th < work . .was to bo done , which was n Alamoaa , promising us wngea from $1.7i to S300 per day.

On arriving at Alamosa w < nmdo arrangements for shelter , boliovin ; the work was certain , but nftor being there three daya , to our surprise , w < found Don Carloa had no work for ua. The olliciala nnd citizens of Wyoniiii ! jealously watch the development of tin Yellowstone National Park , and viov with considerable pride its growth in tin favor of tourist ] anil the seekers of tin sublime in nature , unadorned by the ham of man , Though occupying the oxtronn northwest corner of the territory , nndtal most inaccessible from the south * at proe sent , they are anxious for n now detini ; ion of the northern boundary nnd n re ulHrmation of the fact that the dntiro pur ! lies within the boundary of the territory memorial has also boon prepared b , by the legislature asking congresstha the territory bo given police und jndicic control of the park in order to proven or curb the scandalous rapacity of th Hatch Hotel company. To avoid dispute ua to the question of jurisdiction the fo ] lowing chun < { 03 are urged : The northern boundary line should b made coincident with the northovn boun dary e > f NYyoming. This would leave th Mammoth hot springs a ill within th paik , as they are two miles south of th 45th degree parallel. The uastern boun dary ahouldlo placed either on the inori diun of 110 degrees west of Greenwich or , better still , on the meridian 1)3 ) dc groos west of Washington , n change i the first place of ono mile west , and i the second , two and one-half miloa wosl without ailocting the park iva a wondoi laud , ns in either case , the line traverse a heavy , rugged mountain range , Th southern boundary should bo placed upo the parallel of 44 degrees nndlOmiuutct giving dofmitenusa to pouition. Thi would move the line to the north los than two milcn. Tlio western lx > undnr should bo made coincident with the western orn boundary of Wyoming. .All thos boundaries traverse ruggeti , heavily tin ; bored land , utterly valueless except fo timber. If these changes are made , al question will bo avoided. The propose lines are deiinito , nnd to the north nn went are already aurvoyud , Tlio area nt present ia y,312 ( not 3,57 , * square miles its length north and awut boinjj sixty.ono and eight-tenths ( inaten ofauty-ftva us usually stated ) and it mean breadth fifty-three nnd nix-tenth ( instead of fifty-five ) miloa. By the pro osi'd change its. length would bo ttftj lovnn nndiretcnthp , a/xl ita rncan ncadth forty-nJno nnd fivo-tmlhs miles , or nn area of 2,8JP squnro miles , Tlicr press of Montana are making trong nppcnla in favor of rcdnc'iig ' the ndinn toorvatioiu in the territorj * , The act that congress has appropriated $ ! , 000,000 to fetd the destitnto Flnthcads , Crows and others , is a strong point in nvnr of the tiesircd legislation. There a no sound reason for allowing tribes un- imitcd control O7er vast nreno of coun- ry , and al thu onmo time provide thorn vith food nnd clothing. .Tlio policy of Secretary Teller , i } diligently nml hon estly followed would bring about the desired - sired result in n few years. Ilia plan ia to .Lot I.UK' " < aoveralty nnd tench thorn tl'ei riidiiticiuti of ngrunUuro and stock milling , and to sell the bnlnnco of the res ervation to nctunl scttlora , the proceeds : o bo used na n permanent fund to help members of the tribe when in want , nnd provide them with machinery nnd stock it the start. This policy , tl > uth in its nfancy in the northwest hro boon suc cessful whnnovcr it has been put vigor ously in prnctico , and the cnporicnco of Bonn-civilized trib.oa io ita beat commen dation. The growth of Montana in the next Ivo years will force most of the reser vations into the market. As mtial , the Indiana hold some of the best .agricul tural and mineral land in the toriitory , nrd aa long ns the government provides them with food and clothing them will not voluntarily consent to a reduction of Jioir domains. The Crowa , whoso dcsti- -uto condition appealed so ollectively to congress , enjoy unlimited control over 1,000,000 acres , no white man being al lowed to aottlo on it. Their reservation embracea hundreds of thounnnda of ncrca jf land nnd well Water , ndmirablyadnpted 'or ngriculturo and g'razing , nnd capable if nllbrding homos to nnd sustaining iwoniy-fivo white families for every soul there ia in the Crow tribo. A mooting of the stockholders of the Grcoley , Salt Lake & Pacific railroad will bo hold in Denver to-day to inflate the stock of the company from 5500,000 to 83,000,000. This proposed increase ia intended to cover the cost or intend ing and completing the road na originally mapped out. The certainty that railroad construction will bo resumed in the Poudro canyon the coming spring , is cheering to the people of Northern Cole rado. Tim opening of the canyon , one of the most valuable in the atato in a railroad SOIIBO , has been long looked for , and it wns n matter of much speculation whether the Burlington & Miasouri would contest the Union Pacific's right to it or not , aa the former haa n right of way claim from the government. There is much gratification felt that ivork will bo'begun on the canyon ns soon as the weather allows , for it was n great disappointment when the Grceloy , Salt Lake & Pacific stopped work. The country between Fort Collins nnd North Park and the park itaclf , which the road will open up , ia a most valuable "razing and agricultural country , and rich in coal and ether minerals. The Union PaciGo has aurvoycd a portion tion of the br.inch line to bo built to the Yellowstone National Park. The en trance will bo made from the Montana aide , a short distance from Madison. The main line of the survey now made runs from China Point on the Utah & North ern across Henry's Fork of Snake rivei to a point on the Madison , and thence down that stream to Wigwam , creasing the Madison divide near Virginia City , and following the Ruby and Jefferaon rivers to Gallatin City. The dia- tanco ia but little greater by thia route than down the Madiaon , and there will bo fewer engineering obstacles to bo en countered. Work on the road will begin early in the spring in ortler to put it in operation the present year. The Union Pacific company ia aaid tc have purchased a c ntrolling interest in two or moro of the coal beds recently discovered in Gallntin > Valley , Montana. Referring to this and ether transactiont of the company , The Livingston Euter- priio aays : "Tho reported negotiation * for the purchase of the Trail Creek mines are significant. The paes over the divide ut Trail crook ia comparatively easy nnd would appear to bo profeiablc to that by way of Ilocky canyon , now occupied by the Northern Pacific. The crossing nt Trail crook would also closely tap the , two coal mines now beinr ; de veloped nnd would bring the road in the immediate rugion of numerous othei such minoa on the upper Yollowstoiio , ns well ns the gront gold and ailver roaources of that country. Thia done an extension to 'Livingston would be certain , nnd UIOIICH up Shield's and Smith rivers to White Sulphur Spring ! nnd on to Bemtnn , would bo the next movo.
