for one house. To have winter eggs it is
necessary to build the house with two ap-
partments. The front room should have a
glass front to let in the sunshine from the
south, and the glass should come within n
few inches OF the ground. In this room
may be kept the dust box, lime, bone-ash
gravel and water trough. The teed may
also be put in this room. The back room
should be very warm-warm enough tor
water not to freeze in it. In this the perches
and nests should be placed. This room is
often made TO advantage in hill side or

The advent of rhr railroad has had less
effect upon the poultry industry OF Montana
than any other branch Of husbandry. Nearly
every other product has taken decided
tumble, but eggs and poultry maintain
themselves well, md there seems to be no
immediate probability of any serious de-
cline. That the home market will exceed
the home supply for many years yet there
is no doubt. The poultry grower, therefore.
has nothing to fear except competition from

The informer, Carey, though deserv-
ing the execration of all men is to be
pitied rather than despised. The gov
eminent whose puppet he has been, now
that she is through with him, casts him
off with scorn. She refuses him proteo-
ton. She disdains to give him written
pardon. If the reflection that he is
self-confessed murderer and traitor Is
not enough to make earth hell to him,
the thoughts that haunt him every day
of his life are. No matter whether he
sleeps or wakes he will be continually
haunted by imaginary assassins who will
fill his craven soul with fear. No matter
in what corner of the earth he secrets
himself the story of his wretched life will
follow him. If he would live he must
become wanderer and an outcast. If
ha remains in Dublin he will probably
receive the same mercy he showed others.
IF his enemies, who are all mankind,
want to torment ana harrow his miserable
soul they will let the thing 1--we rather
than crush it.

MONTANA ponies are queer sort of cat
tie, and would just as soon frolic little
when carrying some eastern nabob as if
they were being ridden by beld headed
niger. While the Chief Justice of the
United States was taking a ride in the
region of the Yellowstone the other day
his pony made some demonstrations that
were peculiarly unpleasant to the Chief
Justice. He promptly decided that such
proceedings were entirely irregular and
that the motion could not be entertained
for moment. With supreme contempt
for the ruling of 'h;s HONOR" the pony
persisted in being heard and finally
worsted the Judge in good shape, among
other things, breaking q couple of his
ribs and otherwise seriously hurting him.
The judge is now on his way east, and
when he gets there he can reconcile HIM
self with the thought that if he staid at
home and tended to business that has
already been pending before his court
for three or four years, any such cattaas-
trophe would not have happened to him.

MILWAUKEE has a city attorney and
mighty man is he. When IL doubt he
abuses the mayor. Not that the mayor
of Milwaukee has done any wrong, but
political preferment to abuse that officer.
There is not man in Milwaukee who
talks politics and quaffs schooners of
foaming lager, who does not denoune

weary of the confidential application of
the city attorneys finger to their knee
while his back curves SO as to bring his
lips near the ear which was to gather
facts of Stowel's internal meanness in
requiring saloons to remain closed
hours out of each a. The city attorney
wants to enlarge his audience SO that
more people may know he eft and lick
ed" the mayor on the saloon question.
To attain this end he has written COM
munication to the city council of Mil
waukee which has the same old refrain,
-Stowell is rascal. The city attorney
may be poor lawyer, but he knows in
what atmosphere popularity most ex-
pands. Let that omnipotent power
which guides the steps of Milwaukee
direct the city attorney to file an infor-
nation against Stowell for any offense
under heaven and when It's said It's
done. A slave may not love his master
but he obeys unquestioningly. The
Milwaukee city attorney finds no such
word as disobedience in his bright
lexicon.

1T is doubtful whether more soulless
corporation exists than the Western
Union Telegraph Co. It is controlled
by Jay Gould, man wholly devoid of
generous impulses, one whose wealth
gives power which is always used to
reduce men to state of vassalage. The
humanity of the people of the United
States overthrow slavery, but under such
monopolies as the Western Union there
is degree of oppression unknown in
the south. The strike of the operators
is nothing less than the pulse beat of
manhood. Those operators have been
kept on starvation salaries, worked I'M
mercifully and practically without re-
dress. The company consideres them
part of the Office machinery. No atten-
ton is paid to their protestations, no
sympathy felt for their condition. The
company has been declaring immense
dividends, but none of the prosperity is
reflected on the operators. Their fate is
to toll through life without prospect of
The strikers have the sympathy of the
people to an extent never before given to
people seeking this means OF redress of
grievances. But it should not be merely
a sentiment; something practical should
be done to aid them in their struoole |
against this giant monopoly. Public
opinion should blast those ready tools
who stand ready to aid this monopoly
in Its determination to crush the men
who have reacted against oppression.
The traits who have shown disposition
to sell their manhood should be branded
with infamy and receive what they earn
the contempt of all public spirited
They are mean spirited, wholly
without independence of character and
lndeserving of confidence. Such per-
sons are needed in this world only to
BRING true manhood into stronger light
oy contrast.
The strikers should receive substantial
assistance. If it appears they are in
financial straits let our public spirited
athens contribute. The Western Union
leeds check, and no time is more
appropriate than the present to admins
er it.

The stock of the Western Union on
which dividends of per cent. are paid,
amounts to SS0,OOQ,OOO. The actual
value is said to be $25, 100000, the diff
ference of $50, 100000, representing the
water. The dividends on the actual
value are then about % per cent. With
this exorbitant earning it would seem
that no necessity exists to treat operators
so heartlessly, and keep them on starya-
ton wages. The N. Y. Tribune, Jay
Gould's paper. says the demands Of the
operators are unreasonable and specially
Objectionable in the way they are

THE telegraph operators are perhaps
the best organized body of men that
ever embarked on strike. Indeed they
seem to be complete masters of the stu
alton. Years ago they organized them
selves into society and they have been
quietly preparing ever since. Theorgani-
cotton numbers among its members not
only those who operate compercial wires
but practically all the operators in the
country. Only those ia metropolitan
places were required to strike. The
other operators were to keep their places
but we're enjoined from going to the
business centers to fill the vacancies Gre
ated, and those on railroad lines were
forbidden to transmit commercial dis
patches.
These arrangements have been carried
out to dot and not man can be got TO
move from smaller places into larger
ones to fill the vacancies. Some railroad
companies ordered their men to send
commercial news over the company
wires, but the operators promptly re-
fused to transmit it.
The operators in every locality refuse
| to listen to any compromise, and insist
that all arrangements must be made with
their executive committee in New York.
900 men have quit work almost in
simultaneously, and as the strike has been
in contemplation for long time they
no doubt laid by enough to stand siege.
1t is absolutely impossible to fill their
| places.
Strikes, as general thing, iniure the
| strikers more than any one else, but 1T
looks as though they were destined to
come out triumphant this time. There
is scarcely any business which cannot
make use of green hands to some extent,
except telegraphy.
The Western Union Telegraph Co. is
the one most seriously affected, as it
owns about 100000 miles of wire. 1t is
one of the richest corporations in the
world, Jay Gould being the heaviest
stock holder in the concern. That com.
pany could afford to suspend operations
for any length of time if it saw fit, but
the thousands of business men all over
the country who have transacted bust
ness with the company for years, may be
able to force it into satisfying the de-
mands of the strikers. There is nothing
unreasonable in these demands, and a
company receiving the enormous divi-
dends that are paid the share holders in
that concern could well afford to accede
to them. In 1882 the amount of clear
cash made by the Western Union Tele
graph Company was over $1,000, 900, and
it has been estimated that it would reach
over 50, 100000 this year, owing to the
increase of business, and the absorption
of number of smaller lines.

CAPTAIN WEBB, the great swimmer,
attempted to swim through the rapids

persisted, as it was certain he would. In

only one who survived the fearful trip.
On Tuesday he breasted the waters and
