REPRESENTATIVE LIE FEvRE, of Ohio,
will introduce in the house at the earli-
est opportunity an amendment or sub
stitute for the Morrison tariff bill. The
features of the proposed measure or
amendment are as follows: The wool
duties Of 1867 to be restored, except as
to carpet woods, which will be placed on
the free list, with some 20 other articles.
The metal schedule will be equalized by
reducing the duty on some articles and
increasing it on a few others. The to-
bacco internal tax is to be abolished and
provisions to be made for giving alcohol
to manufacturers free of tax. Manufac-
turers for export trade to receive rebates
on their raw material equal to a duty of
less than 10 per cent. to be made in favor
of goods imported in American bottoms.
This is said to be similar to the old law
passed in Jefferson's administration, ex-
cept that in Jefferson's time the differ
ent duties were increased ten per cent.
on the then existing tariff list. While
Converse proposed ten per cent. reduc-
ton, he thinks this bill will reduce the
revenue 5 I 900, 900.

THE Northern Pacific earnings for the
fourth week of April were $437, 800, and
for the month 81 ,438, 800. Compared
with the same month last year, when
the earnings We're $660,4l1.57, this is an
increase of S779, 1885, 3, OF 11S per cent.
This is much larger than the several es-
Inmates made by Vice President Cakes.
Mr.. Cakes, after his first trip over the
road in July, 1881, submitted a report to
the directors, in which he estimated the
roads earnings for the first twelve
months after its completion at Sl4, 1885,
900. Subsequently he increased this es-
innate to $15, OOO. 900, putting April down
to earn $1,000, 900. Later still he esti-
mated the earnings of last month at
81 300, 900. Earnings of 81 1880 0 for a
single month is a better showing than
any made at the present time by any
other road in the country. Estimates
are already made for May, and all of
them are for a still larger amount than
was earned last month.

THERE has been considerable COM

hard to bring any objection to the plan,
and we hope soon to sec the matter
thoroughly tested. The n. p. Refriger-
ator Car company has already demon
strated that there is a large profit in
killing cattle and shipping the dressed
meat to market. This is owing to the
fact that all the shrinkage, which live

We publish to-day a call for a general
meeting of the stock men of the terri

ought to be an organization of the stock
men of Montana for protection and mu-

not Helena would be the proper head

not a ''stock center'' in any sense, and

The following bill introduced in the
senate by Van Wick strikes at a growing
evil in the territory-the absorption of
the public lands by foreign companies
and we trust it will become a law:
Be it enacted that it shall be unlawful
for any person or association of persons
not citizens Of the United States, or for
any corporation or company organized
under the authority of any foreign state,
prince or potentate, to aquire title from
the United States to a greater quantity
of public lands than an individual
citizen of the United States and author
lied to under the settlement and inn
provement laws thereon, or to aquire,
receive, or hold by deed, grant, or trust
hereafter executed grants to any quantity
OF land in the Territories ofthe United
States more than sixty-four acres.

range, and ship the dressed meat to
Europe. It has been satisfactorily de-
monstrated that meat dressed in New

The Highest Award.

Among the brewed beverages of the world the Anheuser-B Busch Beer, made by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Associ- alton of St. Louis, Mo-, takes the lead. The highest awards have been given this beer over all others wherever exhibited both in America and Europe: notably, at Philadelphia in 1876, at Paris in 1878 and a, the Worlds Exposition, Amster- dam, 1885, on which occasion all of the European brewers of note competed for the prize. These facts supported by the popularity of tke Anheuser- Busch beer among beer consumers everywhere are indisputable.
 For the convenience of their trade the Association has established beer and ice depots at numerous points throughout the country, where the dealer may obtain supplies in small quantities and avoid the delay which would be occasioned if compelled to order direct from St. Louis. They have an extensive depot of this kind in Little Rock under the manage ment of H. F. Mons, who will give prompt attention to all shipments. Ad- dress all orders to

Attentions After Marriage
fYonkcrs Sta,esuan.l

The beautiful attentions which were so pleasing before marriage are too often forgotten afterwards, writes one who has learned from experience. The music dies out of the voice everything is taken for granted, and the love that, like the silver jet of fountain leaped to heaven. denied its natural outlet, ceases to flow altogether. Then comes dull, heavy. hard days, with two unhappy ones tied together wishing themselves apart and not always content with merely wishing. This is unnatural and wrong. What married life wants to give it new tone and sweetness, is more of the manner as well as the spirit of the courting time. Very much of the pleasure of coursship comes from the constant attentions of the parties to each other. Their affection voices it. self in all possible ways. Every sentence is edged with a compliment, and spoken in tender tones. Every look is a con- fession- Every act is new word of the exhaustless vocabulary of love. And it | IS the fact that affection confesses itself continually in look and wosd and act, making the voice musical and the fingers poetic in their touch and doing that makes the experience 90 beautiful, the only Eden many . woman has on earth. ! Love must have expression or it vill die. 1t can be kepe forever, beautiful and blessed as at first. by giving 1t conssas, uttesance in word and act. The more is is allowed to dow in delicaie attentions and noble service, the stronger and more satistying and more blessed vill 1t be. The house becomes home only when love drops 1t heavenly mama in 1t fresh every day, and the taue marriage VOW is not made oaee for all at the altar, bu, by loving vordA help6ul services and de3icate attentions to the end.
