On II first page of this paper we men

association, to take place IN the first Of next
June. The exposition will be attended by
all the best millers, m%achinists and manu-
facturers of mill machinery and everything
pertaining to the production of -four, meal,
etc., of the United States, who will exhibit
their machinery and best brands of -four,
meal. hominy, etc. There will also be agood
representation from France and perhaps
other countries across the ocean. 1t occurs
to us that as Montana is one of the best
wheat growing countries in the west it
would be advantageous TO the territory to
exhibit some of its products. The spring
wheat grown in this territory is on an aver
age greatly superior to that grown in Iowa.

wheat raised ON our valleys cannot be beaten

in attendance at the exposition, we venture
to predict that they would create an attrac-
ton equal to our beef and wool. Montana
has but little mill machinery to make flour
that will compete with that produced by
the mills of st. Louis, Minneapolis and some
other great milling cities, but a fair exhibit
of our wheat would do much toward attract
ing mill capitalists to our markets, and ulti-
mately lead to the erection of better mills
glad to.see Montana products represented
at the exposition, but it would give us great
pleasure to hear OF some of our mill men
winning the grand prize for the best barrel
of flour.

The great reduction of freights last sum

out the to rritory, the rapid approach of the
railroad and general decline in prices, com
ing down as they did to something like
states figures, led many to believe that the
era OF corners, extortion and excessive rates
of living were over. Under this impression
many who had previously laid in large sup
plies during the boating season neglected to
do so, thinking that our merchants too
thoroughly understood the situation to al
low the market to become bare of any COM
odity or to allow any combination calculated
to run up prices. But no sooner than Jack
Frost is with us for the season than the
scarcity of a few staple articles is discover
ed and prices rushed up accordingly. If,
in reality, such staples as sugar and coffee
are scarce our merchants have committed a
great blunder in not studying the markets
sufficiently to be able to provide an album
dant supply. The most probable conclu-
sion is that there is a good supply on hand,
but that it is in the hands Of so few that the
old corner" tricks are being again prac-

son; however, to our people. 1t will teach
them that when the river is closed with ice,
and teams driven from the road in conse-
quence of the closing in Of winter, they are
at the mercy of a few dealers. 1t will teach
them that extortion is not a thing of the
past as supposed, and probably never will
be, at least not until Montana is traversed
by competing railway lines, and goods can
be laid down at their doors at all seasons of
the year.
This rise in the price of merchandise will
work disadvantageously to wholesale deal
ers in the future. The people will lose con-
fidence either in their Judgment or good
intentions, and will 60 back to the system
OF shipping for themselves, so popular only
a few years ago. 1t is as important to the
large operator to look to his standing in the
country FOR an ability to provide for any
emergency as it is to look to his profits, and
in many cases it pays to sell goods at a loss
rather than assume the appearance of ex-
tortion or show a lack of judgment. Owing
to the heavy advances, consumers will do
well to temper their wants accordingly and
buy as lightly as possible, and we venture
to assert that a decline will take place be-
tore the middle of February. There is
method in a rise in a panic-like form. 1t
hurries people into purchasing before a
greater rise should come, when if they
would only take the matter coolly the in
lation would soon subside. We would sug-
gest to our patrons that they be in no hurry
now in laying in supplies for the winter.
The top has most probably been reached,
and if matters are taken coolly, when VIM
ter turns IN towards the last quarter, the
anxiety to push off old stocks and prepare
for new will bring about moderation. It is
safe at any rate to presume as much and
deal accordingly.

Temperance.
LINE UPON LINE.

Judge Pierce of Philadelphia, in an
address to the grand jury, declared that
in that city there are about seven thou
sand taverns, or public drinking places,
this being an average of one tavern to
every one hundred inhabitants, or in
fact, to every twenty-five adult males in
the entire city. He also declared that
Of fourty-four thousand nine hundred
and nineteen arrests in the city from
all causes during 1876, there were
twenty-four thousand five hundred and
eleven, or more than one-half of the
entire number, for intoxication or liquor
selling. His careful estimate of the
cost of the traffic to the public shows
fully $l,2O0,0OO per annum for the
arrest and conviction and punishment
of its victims in Philadelphia, in addi-
ton to S2l, 100000 squaudered here in
the purchase of liquor by its consumers.
In the face of these figures the words
of Judge Pierce seem none too strong
when he says: "Is it wonder that
when hard times come there is so much
suffering among that class of our citizens
whose hard earnings are thus diverted
from the savings institutions to indul-
gencies which are destructive to both
health and happiness ? But this deplOr-
able traffic comes freighted to US with
greater burdens than those which affect
material wealth. 1t brings in its train
the broken health and squandered fort
unes of thousands F; the signs and broken
hearts of mothers, wives, sisters, and
children; widows and orphans, whose
bitter tears are doubly bitter when they
remember the cause of this desolation
Is it not wonder, then, that as citizens
having regard to our material interests
as men having a sympathy with ou
fellowmen, and as christians having re
gard to the highest moral interests o
our fellow beings, we are so supine il
our efforts to relieve us of this grea
evil ?''

Soon after, the child, grasped by her
fathers hand, was suffered to look over
the parapet's edge and, after gazing for
a minute, she uttered another cry
this time cry of delight.
"MOther, mother. only see here, just
below US on the wall. is nest and four
dear little birds. and there is an egg,
too, quite sky-blue What a cozy place
they have; its just made for nest
The mother fastened to look, and,
even while the two were gazing on the
little family, the mother bird came, and
the father, and there were happy twit-
terings. The child's delight was great.
But the mothers eye had observed some
things else, and she said:
"Why, my darling, that place you
think so cozy for nest is exactly on
top of the head of the ugly image that
that troubled you SO! See, his horns
keep it from falling. The mother-bird
isn't frightened, but nestles on them !''
"Why, so it is p exclaimed the little
one. 1.-THE bad man doesn't look ugly
from here his head holds the BIRDS
nest"
THAT" said the father, 'may show
just what meant when told you that
people rose above 1t. You are now above
it. When you looked up to it, it was
frightful when you look down on it,
you can see something sweet and loving
going on over it, and even held up by
it. And some day, when you have grown
larger. you will love to remember to-
day, and how you came to look down on
the demon the first day you ever saw
him."
"Come, father and mother !" cried the
happy child. "The little boys and girls
downstairs may be frightened; let US 60
and stand in the church-door, and tell
them not to look at the demon there,
where he's horrid, but to come up here
and see, over his horns, the sky blue
egg, and the mother-bird feeding its
young"
The tears had disappeared from the
child's eyes, but they stood bright il
those of the parents.-Moncure d. Con

SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Sunday, July Is. Rom. 8: $3.50.

Beginning with chapter 5, Paul dis
cusses in the epistle to the Romans the
blessed results of the justified state.
Having shown the immediate effects, as
in the last lesson, he introduces Adam
and Christ, and shows that by our rela-
tions to the second, righteousness and
life are secured. He also emphasizes
the superabounding power of grace.
But this exaltation of grace begets an
objection, which Paul proceeds, in chap
ter 6, to discuss, showing that free grace
does not, and cannot, lead to sin. He
then shows that believers are free from
the law as ground of acceptance (chap.
z: Icy. But this recalls the former
objection, that this fact would encourage
to sin. In answer, Paul exalts the law
as an expression of spiritual purity. but
shows that it cannot meet mans wants.
His appeals to experience, in the remain
ing verses of chapter z, are true to life
in all who seek to be justified by law.
The issue of this appeal to experience
Rom. Z 25) is that Christ can, and he
only can save.
The deliverance from personal strug-
gle under law leads to the full recogni-
ton of that believers standing with
which chapter s opens. The believer is
free from condemnation he lives by the
power of the spirit; he has the evidence
of his adoption, even though he suffer
here; and in his suherings he may be
sure, a. that they beget the greater
glory, v. 1926; (2) that the Holy
Spirit will assist him, v. 26, 27; g.
that all things combine for his good, v.
$3.50; and finally, that in Christ's love
he is safe forever, v. 3I-39.
The triumphant climax of this dis
cussion ". 2S-39) forms the lesson now
under consideration.

A MYSTERY EXCLAIMED.

at home because her husband could not
afford to 60, but whose fresh complexion
and bright eyes seem to have caught
their bloom and brightness from mount

| know the suppression of the liquor

there is a tremendous God on our side !!
Reverently speak it, God is the most
radical and one sided Being in the uni
verse He is clear over on the side of

wants men of total abstinence to fight
the greatest evil in society with a radi-
calism and persistence as uncompromis-
ing as the justice of His throne. The
least compromise with evil is moral
treason to God. Our only business is to
fight evil with relentless purpose. Half
and-half men cannot be relied on. We
want men to stand square on both feet
for total abstinence and to resist the
sorcery Of the bagpipes when they play,

Hear it: drink no longer water, but
use little wine for thy stomach's sake

is the proof that Timothy was a teeto-
taller, cold-watcr man, so radical and
abstemious that, amid manifold infrm-
tiles, Paul had to plead with him to try
it as medicine. (Laughter.) If he had
not been total abstainer, Paul would
not have been obliged to urge him to
change his habits. Oh for a genera

In Persia Christians are distinguished
from MOhammedans by their use and
abuse of alcoholic drinks; and it is said,
on that account, to be safer for Persians
to remain in heathenism than to profess
the religion of Jesus Christ. Ellis. of
Madagascar, and Williams, of South
Seas, speak Of the fearful consequences
which follow the arrival of the British
ships with their cargOes of ardent spirits
the intoxicatiOn and immortality which
prevailed, and the stigma which it
brought on the Christian name. The
well known heather philanthiOpist. Ke-
stub Chunder Sen, goes the length of
saying that all the moral and political
benefits of English rule in India have
been nullifed by the introduction of
