NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

From Hon. w. A. Clark, who passed
Dillon on Wednesday, en- route
East, we learned that himself and Survey
or General Harris, Montana Comn'ss'on-
ers to the New Orleans Worlds Cotton
Exposition. have appointed John B. kead'
Of the Butte Inter Mountain, to collect
Montana mineral and agricultural products
for the exposition and to prepare the nee
essary data to accompany the same. Mr.
Reads exnr;euce at the Denver Exposi'
ton and. his thorough knowledge OF the
mineral resources of Montana Territory
specially fit him for the position. His task
is not an easy one, and he requires the
earnest cooperation Of the mining ana
farming men throughout the Territory C
make complete and satisfactory exh'o''
Of our mineral and cereal productions. II
is the intention of Nj. Read to commence
work Immediately and he will visit every
important mineral and agricultural section
Of Montana within the next six weeks
We also learned from Mr.. Clark, that the
Commissioners had appointed county as
sistants throughout the Territory. In Bea'
verhead County h. +. White, OF Dillon
and Henry Knippenberg. of Glendale, have
been named as assistants. The gentlemen
no doubt, will take an active part in secur
;no valuable contribution from this
county.

THE WOOL MARKET.

The TRIBUNE has presented to its read
crs a weekly report of the condition OF the
wool mar ket in the East, as it has bear
ing on one of the chief products OF South
ern Montana During the past week the
seaboard wool markets have been charac-
terized bv small amount of general &C
tivity, but have continued quite active in
contrast with the dullness prevailing few
weeks ago. The recent advance has been
well maintained, and the market is very
strong, though there is no tendency to any
immediate improvement in prices. The
upward tendency is held in check by the
unsatisfactory condition of the goods trade.
Manufacturers complain that selling prices
for their products even now afford little
margin over the cost of production. This
is, especially true Of worsted fabrics, OF
which there has been 4 large increase OF
importations that prevent any recovery in
p-ices on domestic makes. Worsted yarns
have declined below the importing limit
but as any addition to cost necessitating an
advance in selling prices would reopen the
door to foreign competition spinners are
very reluctant to pay higher rates for wool
AT current figures, however, there is 4
good demand, and staple woods are gener.
ally we'll sold up.

BENJAMIN Franklin Buffers address to

winded document for our columns. 1t is
as lengthy as two moral laws, handicapped
with the sermon of hard-shell colored
Baptist preacher. Old Ben's address is
something like his candidacy. His candi-
dacy grabs at all the Nominations, while his
address attempts to catch all of the votes.
There is little sense in his address, but

NARROWING DOWN.

While It is not the intention ofthe TRIB-
UNE to take any partisan part in the Dem
ocratic contest over the nomination OF
candidate for Delegate to Congress, It
comes within the province Of this journal 10
comment on the political situation. In
doing SO information of reliable kind will
be relied on for statements. The contest,
among the Democrats, for nominee, is
Mario wing down, and the fight at the Deer
Lodge Convention will be between Hon.
Wash. Stapleton, Of Butte, and Hon. Joe
Toole, of Helena. Mr.. Stapletons candi-
dacy springs from the unanimous sent''
ment among the Democrats OF the west
Side counties that the nominee should
come from west of the main range. West
Side Democrats claim that the time has
come for change, and that inasmuch as
the East Side has had the candidate tor
sixteen wears, the West Side is entitled to
the next candidate. The claim of the West
Side is not without weight, unless the De-
.nocracy of Montana are willing to con-
cede that the town of Helena is entitled to
name, for all time to come, the Democratic
nominee. 1t is understood that Mr.. Sta
DletOn consents to the use of his name IN
connection with the Office, and he has
strong friends favorable to his candidacy,
both on the east ard west side of the
range. On the East Side, Mr. Toole is the
only avowcd candidate. He is urging his
own candidacy-tooting his own bazoo.
Toole wants the nomination. His letters
say so, and the press of the East Side says
that Tooe's nodesty in the matter does
not prevent him from writing personal APP
peals, asking the support of friends and
foes alike. Of course, in free country
like this, Mr.. Toole has a perfect right to
urge his claims and pretensions for the
position of Delegate to Congress, but the
means he is adopting are unusual. 1t
letter writing will secure the nomination,
Toe Toole stands chance to win. lie is
wading in in that line, but as the time Is
short between now and the meeting OF the
Deer Lodge Convention, it is doubtful ii
Mr.. Toole can strike all the Democrats in
Montana with billet dons Of political ma
ture To remedy this Mr.. Toole might
employ "nagur' and a paste-pot, and
have the fences and doors of country
school houses piacarded with small ood-
gers announcing to all OF the unterrif'ed
who can read that he is a candidate Tor
Congress. This is only suggestion, and
Mr.. Toole is not bound to act accordingly
1t is not thought that there will be solid
East Side or solid West Side vote in
Convention, and it is presumed that there
will be third candidate in the field. How
ever, the contest is, seemingly, narrowed
down between Stapleton and Toole.

THE COTTON CENTENNIAL.

In all respects the Worlds Industrial
and Cotton Centennial Exposition at New
Orleans is to surpass the Philadelphia Ex-
position of 1876. From the Philadelphia
Centennial the world first. learned our
grandness and greatness as an industrial
and mineral nation. Since that exhibition
the trade of the United States has expand.
ed in countless ways as the direct outcome
Of that unrivalled display of Yankee
achievements. The great show of 10 was
instructive as we'll as profitable. Valuable
suggestions in art. manufacture, agricul-
ture and machinery can be traced directly
to the influence Of the Centennial. The
whole country was particularly benefited
The coming New Orleans Exposition
promises to have a greater effect upon
home development and our foreign trade
The times are ripe for the exposition, and
the entire country is waking up, indus
trially. The whole Nation will attend the
Worlds Fair to be held at the Crescent
City, and our people will learn thousand
lessons acout themselves, and the rest Of
the world. which will tell on our future
Development. The accessibility Of New
Orleans will bring thousands Of visitors
from foreign countries who will thus have
opportunities Of examining the excellence
~ ,,,or;co,, ,>rndu~tS minerals and. man
ufactures. If the people of Montana fully
realize this fact they will see that the vas
mineral and agricultural resources OF ON
Territory are fully represented at the Ex
position. It hehooves our mine-owner
and agriculturalists to make the best posi-
BILE use of the chance to advertise ou
boundlcss resources. A grand displa,

The niggardly economy Of the Territorial
Fair Association is receiving the lash from
the press Of the Territory. The New
North Wesi says "The managers OF the
Montana Eair Association are getting we'll
deserved criticism in, some of the Montana
papers for having at least part of their
poster work done East; when several Of
the Helena Offices, 10 say nothing Of those
in other towns, can do as good or better
work. Their prices might be little more,
or might not, bat anyhow there are other
matters to be considered. The Fair owes
nine tenths Of its success to the newspapers
and very large proportion Of it to those
of Helena. If those papers charged the
Fair Association regular commercial rates
for the free advertising they give It, il
would amount to fifty times the cost Of its
poster wsrk, and If they declined to do the
service but little interest would be taken in
the Fair. The managers also hold it does
not pay them to advertise even their pro.
gramme outside Of Helena, although Hell.

Of financial henefts from people outside q

Hooker OH the Southern Soldier.

That was very handsome tribute that
Maj. General Joseph Hooker paid 70 The
Southern soldiers. He gave his tcstimo.
ny under oath before the congressional
committee on the conduct of tho war;
Here are the words he said:
"Our artillery had always been supe.
rior to that of the rebels, as also our in.
fantry except in discipline aud that for
reasons not necessary to mention mover
did equal Lees army. With rank and
file vastly inferior to our own intellect.
ually and physically, that army had by
discipline alone, acquired character
for steadiness aud efficiency unsurpassed,
in my judgment, in ancient or modern
times. We have not been able to rival
it."
There arc those who will perhaps not
ugrce with Gen. Hooker as to the basis
of this remarkable steadiness and effi-
cheney of our Southern soldiers, which
he thought the federal troops had not
been able to rival, but still Fighting Joe
Hooker's" supreme testimony hat our
men had shown en- efficiency never suT-
passed in ancient or modern times, stands
for all time as the estimate of brave and
capable judge and critic. He may not
be correct as to the cause Of the fact, but
the fact AZ testified to by him remains
established by that strongest of proof
the favorable evidence of a hostile wit.
ness.
1t will create some questions whether
a va"tly physically and intellectually in.
feriur soldier could be moro steady ald
efficient than the vastly physically and
intellectually superior fighter. We do
not try to reconcile General Hooker's
logic. We merely accept his facts

Why Prairies are Treeless,

Mr.. Thomas Meehan believes that wa
have nearly reached the solution of the
cause OF the absence of trees from prai-
ries. 1t is not climatic, for timber bsIes
flourish In a;i the prairie regions. It ia
not in conditions of soil for the prairie is
the most favorable to the termination of
secds, OF trees as well rs other plants.
and artificial plantations arc remarkably
successful wherever they are made. The
real cause is probably to hc found iu the
annual fires which have swept over the
prarles from time immemorial killing
the young trees before they can grow
large enough to resist the heut. The
seeds ot tho annual plants Of the prairie
vegetation, maturing every year, are shed
and hnd protection before the fires come:
the young trees on the other hand, bear
no seed and can leave no resources for
succession after they are burned. The
theory Is supported by the fact that an
abundant growth of trees had set in
wherever the fires have been stopped.
Tho fires were made by the aboririres
for centuries hslnre the %hite mau came.
possibly for the express purposes, Mr.
Meehan suggests, Of preventing the
growth of trees and preserving The buffalo
pastures. The question remains how the
prairies first came to be naked. They
probably formed the bottoms of the lakes
and marshes that were left after the re-
treat OF the glaciers, and continued wet
after the highlands were covered with
trees. Man followed the glaciers so
closely that he anticipated the trees on
these spots, and having learned already in
Southern latitudcs the virtue of burning
them, began before the trees gained
foothold.-Iopular Science Monthly.

His Last Drink.

FORSYTH, GA, April 21.-A case of
death from alcoholism has occurred here.
Walter s. Barnes was one of the most
popular commercial tourists in the South,
For the past year his passion .or strong
drink had grown upon him until he be-.
came Il perfect slave to It, Arriving
home from Macon, he put up at the
Proctor House. On finding that this
was prohibition town he became terri
bly, depressed and offered porter any
sum of money if he would secure bot.
tie of whiskey for him. The liquor was
procured from some source, when Barnes,
putting the bottle to his lips, drank 1t at
one drink. He then got : sec5ad bottle
and had drank half of it when the ser.
wants pressed him into bed and left him.
In fifteen or twenty minutes noise
was heard in his room. A porter went
there and found he had fallen out of bed
and YVES apparently asleep. He lifted
Walker to the bed and finding t:.sS ile
EaiS very hot, undreesed and left him
again. An hour later the porter went to
call him to supper. Seeing that he ap.
peared to be still asleep, he placed his
hand Oh his shoulder and called him.
The body felt cold and looking closely
the porter saw that ha was dead. He
was about forty years of age and leaves
a wife and five children.
