THE phenomenal low price Of wheat, not
only in this country, but all over the world,
will no doubt result in abandoning wheat
culture where it can be substituted by
ANYTHING else that promises to pay better.
In many parts of the country this can be
easily done. but it would be hard to tell
what the Dakota farmer could raise so well
in its stead. 1t will not be necessary for
him to raise anything else. Wheat does
not lose its place as the best staple product
for the support of the human family, and a
country that adds to its population a
million and half each year, is never going
to need any less wheat than at present. II
the present glut and low price lead to more
varied farming it will not be without its
indirect benefits. Wheat exhausts land
yery fast and is an uncertain CROP liable to
fall a prey to many an agency of destruc-
tion. insect and elemental. The soil and
climate of Montana are well suited to raise
potatoes and pease and with these, together
with wheat, our farmers ought to be able
to raise pork and bacon enough to supply
our home market. Farmers must study
The markets and if they would prosper
must raise that which the market demands
There is enough butter. cheese, eggs, lard,
bacon, ETC., shipped into Montana every
year to make our farmers rich if they
could furnish these supplies and save to
their own pockets the money sent out OF
the Territory to purchase them.

ACCORDING to the Columbus Board OF
Trade, the business interests of that city
have sustained a direct loss of S3,511 900
because of the strike of the Hooking Val
ley mines, in addition to which the miners
themselves have lost half million in
wages. For such oft recurring evils some
remedy must be devised. Trades unions
can never do it any more than the prOtec-
tive unions of capitalists. Each represents
but one of the interests that need to be
reconciled. The best remedy that we have
heard suggested is the participation plan,
by which each employe receives at the end
of the year share of the profits after pay
ing interest on capital and the usual wages
to workmen. This plan has been tried in
France and in England and at the juno
ton mines in Illinois, and in each case
with mutual salts faction.

THE Union Pacific, under its new man
agement, is outdoing all other roads IN its
endeavor to answer the Gjust demands of
the outside public. At this time, when
grain is so depressed that corn is worth
only 10 cents bushel in the interior of
Kansas and Nebraska, the Union Pacific
has set good example to other roads by
voluntarily reducing the freight rate 8
cents on hundred pounds We are quite
ready to admit the plea of the companies
that it costs just as much to haul grain to
market when it is cheap as when it is dear.
Still it is not only justice but policy to
make reduction in such crisis as this,
so long as any margin of profit remains.
There is no such thing as permanent sue
cess of railroad except through the pros
perity of the country through which it
runs and the people who depend upon it,
and on whom it depends no less.

MISSOURI, when admitted as State, had

MISSOURI, when admitted as State, had
population of only 66,557, scarcely more
than half as much as Montana possesses
to-day, yet Missouri Senator had the
mendacious effrOntery to claim that Da-
kota with population of 100000 had not
enough to entitle her to a representative
in Congress. Dakota divided, would still
have considerably larger territory than
Missouri and it is not improbable that
within a few years it will surpass Missouri
both in population and wealth. 1t GER
tainly will unless there is political revo-
luton in Missouri of which there are
strong and numerous indications.

dustry that exports annually over $1o,OOO,-
600 worth of meat deserving Of the foster
ing care of Congress? Besides, if Congress
can expend millions of money and donate
billions of acres of the public lands to rail-
roads, she can afford to expend a small
sum and grant small portion of land to
for establish great national cattle highway
for our stock and in providing supply of
cheap meat to the people. Texas has just as
good a right to get her products to market as
any other State in the Union, and stand
souarely with Texas on this subject Of
national cattle trail.
The consideration of the national cattle
trail naturally brings with it the subject Of
animal diseases. Of course we
all desire that pleuro-pneumonia, Texas
fever, and all other infectious ami
NAL diseases should be stamped out,
and Congress has wisely taken steps look
ing to that end. 1t is to be hoped Con-
gress will continue to give an intelligent
and careful consideration to this important
subject, and that the end so much desired
may soon be accomplished.
The practice of fencing the public lands
cannot be too strongly condemned. 1t is
alike unlawful, unjust, and destructive to
animal life. The cattle in winter drift be-
fore the storms against these fences, and
their onward progress being stopped by
these wires, they huddle and die of cold
and starvation.
The method of leasing the public lands
for stock purposes cannot yet be arrived at,
but when done it must be done on some
just basis, SO that the system will work no
wrong to any one else. 1 would myself be
the first one to oppose it, l think it can
be done, but we should 60 slow about it..
The selfish stock men who are opposing
the land lease under the impression that
they can buy their ranges or that they are
so isolated they will not need to lease, will
find out their mistake soon enough. The
Government will not sell them their herd
lands and as to isolation, let them wait a
couple of years and they will be crying
out Justify enough for some protection
against the English hel IS that will be
driven in upon their favorite ranges.
To conclude these hastily written sugges-
tions, let me say am entirely opposed to
a large owning of cattle in America by
foreign capital from which we derive no
benefit. | believe in America for Ameri-
cans, and would rather pay double tax than
to see foreigner escape untaxed under our

NATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
REPUTATION.

In the December North american Re-
riew, John F. Hume has another article
advocating the payment by the National
Government of the repudiated debts of
the twelve repudiating States.
The total amount of these repudiated
debts is about 100000, 900, drawing in
terest at the rate of about $1S,000,O 900
per annum.
We can see but little force in most of
the arguments used to sustain such a
proposition. There is no doubt that it
would enhance the credit of the United
States and of all the non-repudiating
States, if the National Government
should assume to pay these debts. At
least that would be the natural tendency
of the first act, but if such pernicious
precedent should lead these same or 9TH
er States to plunge recklessly into debt
again, thinking to repudiate them upon
the shoulders of the Nation, there might
be such thing as the credit of the Ma
ton being injured more than benefited
by its generosity. Just as a wealthy
father of unimpeachable credit and in
tegrity might be wholly broken up by
the reckless extravaganza of his sons, If
he should become generally responsible
for their defaults.
No person, corporation, State or Ma
ton can possibly maintain his or its
credit and be responsible for the de-
faults of others. 1t introduces at once
an uncertain element beyond control,
and leaves no proper or solid base for
credit to stand on.
Mr.. Hume observes that the National
Government is reponsible for allowing
States that cannot be sued and coerced,
to create debts, and intimates that, but
for the protection of the General Gov
ernment, the creditors of the repudiated
States would levy war upon them.
The trouble with Mr.. Hume and
those whom he represents is that they
are in too much of a hurry for their
money. They are more to blame them
selves than anybody else, except always,
and of course, the defaulting States.
These repudiating States will some
time pay every dollar of their debts. 1t
is the only possible way to recover
honor and credit 1t would be impolitic
and even unkind for the General Gov
ernment to pay these debts. There is no
way for a State to go through bank
ruptcy, giving up its property and shak-
ing itself clear of debt. There is but
one course open, and that is to pay 1t
self and pay in full.
1t may seem for the present that the
tendency in the repudiating States is all
the wrong way, and so it is, but they
will reach the foot of the hill soon and
begin to climb back.
When the people of these States be-
come intelligent enough to see that 1t is
to their own interest to pay up their
debts they will do it. Meanwhile these
States perform the negative good OF
serving as a horrible example to the
world of how poverty and dishonesty are
necessarily associated.

If Secretary Teller permits such an out
rage upon the interests and wishes of the
white residents of Montana as the confir-
nation of the lease of three and half
millions of acres of the Crow Reservation,
we hope Congress will find some way to
annul such lease and take the supert1u-
GUS lands for the use of the whole people.
And before any more such jobs are con-
ceived we would respectfully but earnest
ly invite the Senate to release the northern
part of Montana of its reservation incum-

NICARAGUAN TREATY.

The Nicaraguan Ambassador has ar
rived in Washington bearing the new
treaty referred to by President Arthur in
his message. The terms of the treaty
are said to be very simple. Full propri-
etary right to the territory through which
the canal will pass is conceded to the
United States, with power to prescribe
rules and regulations for its use and abb
solute control of the highway with
cut consulting with Nicaragua. In
return for this concession the United
States Government is bound to complete
the canal within certain number OF
years. 1t is understood that this obliga-
ton will be discharged if private COM
pany under the authority of the Gov
ernment completes the work.
With our limited means of judging,
we have always believed the Nicaragua
route the better for ship canal. OF
course it is not adapted to sea-level,
but the difficulties in the way of such
sea-level canal are enormous and if the
work is ever completed, it will be at such
a cost that it would never pay interest
on the investment or the transit charges
would be so enormous that it would pay
better to 60 around Cape Horn.
1t is believed that the Nicaragua canal
can be built in much less time and for
one quarter of the cost of the Panama
canal. There are many well versed In
the comparative merits of the two pro-
jects who aver that if our government
really undertakes the work in earnest
the Panama canal never will be finished.
But suppose both are completed, it is
not difficult to see which will be the
favorite route for commerce on account
of location, health and cost.
By the treaty the objection is fully
answered, that we would be investing
our treasures on foreign soil. We are
virtually given the canal route for i'm
proving it, and when we have improved
it the work and territory it traverses are
ours.
England may object that it is in vio-
lation of the terms of the Clayton Bull
wer treaty, and it is hard to see how
they can be reconciled.
France may object, that it endangers
the loss of capital of her citizens.
We ought to feel very much obliged
to DeLesseps, for had he not undertaken
his scheme and put so much money into
it as really to make the Nicaraguan
government believe that it was going
through, we could never have secured
the concession now given US freely, even
for many millions Of bonus.
1t looks to US as if this treaty had
brought us as free gift what we would
at any time have given hingh price to
obtain, and one which we cannot afford
to let pass without improving.

By the vote of the House in suspending
the rules to take up the bill creating De-
partment of Agriculture, it looks as If the
Democrats discovered chance for another
Cabinet Office and were going for it. Even
the prospect of seeing such Cabinet office
filled at first by moss-back Bourbon will
not change our oft expressed conviction
that agriculture deserves on every account
to outrank the Departments of War and
Navy, and ought to be fostered by as lib
eral appropriations.

full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as If it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. It
is delicate, with a smart smack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
