ANOTHER of the evidence of the fitness of Mon r tana mid Washington for statehood in given by their militia organizations. The militia of Mon tuna, tHK) strong, comprising infantry, artillery ami cavalry, were a few day ago in camp near ltoze man, and showed themselves to lie in a splendid con dition hh to equipment, discipline, etc. The effective newt of the Washington militia was shown hy their splendid work in Seattle, Kllcnshurgh ami Sjiokane Fall during anl subsequent to the great conllagra tion in thiMte cities. When territories thus show themselves ahle to maintain the jieare ami supjiort the law without calling ukii the general government for aid, it in time they were released fam, lending string. The territorie ami new state of the north wet are to-day better ahle to maintain law ami order and support a strong loeal government than many of the older Mate of the union, ' If it has cost the defend in the Cronin cane flPO,.

Will some one, also, tell ti where ueh a large sum of money come from to defend the criminal ? There ha Wn no spular subscription Rnd no wealthy man ha, to public knowledge, supplied the mean.

What a pity it is that Sullivan, the knight errant, can not occasionally come across Sullivan, the bully, and give him a sound thrashing when engaged in some of his pleasantries in the way of knocking down little news boys and waiter girls. On the sixth of November the people of Idaho will vote uMn the question of ratifying or rejecting the constitution recently framed at Boise City. Several elements, especially the Mormons.are opposed to the constitution, and some are opposed to statehood itself However, there is no doubt a large majority of the ter ritory is in favor of statehood and satisfied with the present constitution, so that thare is little question of its adoption. So far as human forecast can go, there seems to be little doubt that Idaho will become a state during the coining session of congress. Few people are aware of the magnitude the fruit shipping business has attained on tho Pacific coast Thus far this season California and Oregon have ship is to eastern cities 1,288 cars of fruit, enough to make a train nearly three miles long, and yet thii i a small quantity compared to tho shipments of fiwh fruit that will be made ten years hence.
