state. Dakota selected ten delegatesand as many alternates. If the claims to representation urged by these territories are recognized by the convention Montana certainly should receive the same consideration. The Herald calls upon the territorial committee to supply the deficiency that exists under the apportionment by reason of the convention failing to elect but two. We fail to see the necessity of this needless expense in sending the eight additional delegates and alternates to Chicago at this time, with no assurance that they would le received by the convention. The delegates already chosen are men who will secure all the rights to which territorial delegates are entitled. If the representation demanded by Dakota and Washington is conceded, let Montana's delegates insist upon the same representation and be authorized to cast the full vote of the territory.In the investigation lmfore the grand jury at Hillings last week of the alleged charge of libel made by the Gazette Publishing company that body found that the report of the failure of that company originated with Attorney Gib. A. Lane, as correspondent of lirad-street’s mercantile agency, and was false, and that while they found no indictment against Lane, it was the unanimous opinion of the jury that he deserved severe censure for so carelessly allowing so serious and injurious a report to go abroad without careful investigation as to its truth or falsity. The evidence upon which the finding is based was furnished by Managers De-vine of the Helena Independent and Fisk of the Herald, upon an order from Judge Liddell requiring them to divulge the name of the correspondent who sent the alleged libelous statement. It is to be regretted that the witnesses did not insist upon the matter being carried to the higher courts for the purpose of determining fully whether a publisher can be compelled to testify, even before a grand jury, against a correspondent unknown and against whom no complaint has been made. The law provides an ample remedy against a paper publishing a malicious libel, and it is doubtful if any newspaper would refuse to divulge the author’s name where an article in question was clearly furnished with malicious intent. If the ruling of J udge Liddell is correct, there would be no end to annoyance and expense to which managers of daily papers could be subjected upon the most flimsy pretext through parties who might feel themselves aggrieved by the publication of news dispatches.Death of Emperor Frederick.Frederick William, emperor of Germany, died at Potsdam yesterday morning at 11 o’clock. He was born October 18,1831, was married to Victoria, the princess royal of England, January 25, 1858. Their eldest son, who has now become emperor and takes the title of William II., was born January 27,1859, and is now in his 30th year.Hound to Chicago.The special train to convey the republican delegation of California left Chicago .Sunday evening. Five hundred silk flags in the shape of handkerchiefs have been made for the delegates, with each of which goes an orangewood cane. The flags will be exhibited in opposition to the Thurman bandana. A uniform style of hats will be selected in Chicago. An attractive little book has been furnished the delegates by the Burlington officials. The colored title page represents a train leaving the golden state and on the back of the cover is a lithograph of Chicago. Inside the cover is a detailed statement of the arrivals and departures of the train. It is claimed that the train is the finestone that ever left the Pacific coast. W. D. .Sanborn of the Burlington road is in charge of the excursion. The train will go over the Central and Union Pacific roads to Denver and over the Burlington from Denver to Chicago. It will stop one day at Salt Lake and the same time at Denver, and will arrive at Chicago at 10 o’clock this morning. The Uregon and Montanajdelegates will joinhe delegation at Granger and the X tildeada delegates at Reno.The president has approved the act of congress providing that pensions heretofore granted to widows of soldiers of the war of the rebellion shall commence at the death of their husbands. This legislation affects all the claims of widows of the late war which have been filed in the pension office on or after July 1st 1880, and which have been allowed to commence from the date of filing claims, but will not favorably affect the cases of such widows that were filed before July 1st, 1880, and which have been allowed, pensions having already been granted in thosedeath. The commissioner of pensions gives notice that in the settlement under this law of claims already allowed, no formal application will be required, and that the services of attorneys will not be necessary. Widows entitled under said law need only write a letter, giving name, postoltice address, and certificate number and claims will be allowed with as littledelay as practicable.ITpper Yellowstone Notes.Since the Park branch has commenced running daily trains the stage has been discontinued and the Wakefield boys have hied themselves away to the Park to take a four-in-hand during the tourist season.Parties stopping at the postoffice for mail will be sorely disappointed if they expect to see the smiling fuce of the renowned “Geyser Bob” again this summer.Mrs Green of Livingston and her daughter, Miss Abbie, recently becoming tired of the restraint of city life, betook themselves to the country to enjoy the unfettered freedom to Ik* found in the sequestered glens and among the magnificent mountains of the upper Yellowstone, where they were welcomed by all their ' friends of other days who they favored with a call. Miss Abbie gave a surprise dance at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Dougherty, which was highly enjoyed by all present, or at least we infer it was from the fact that it was kept up until the god of day showed his face full and fair above the eastern lulls.Miss Bertha I.
