WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 25--It does not
seem probable that any retaliatory legisla-

France and Germany because they have
shut out our pork, is likely to succeed in
this congress. The voice of the sober
thinking people of the country seems to be
against it, and also that of the majority of
congress. "Too much like children's quar-
rel" is the general remark. A few petitions
have come in asking retaliatory legislation,
but they are only few.

The Independent Candidate,

In reply to the earnest request Of a
great many true.hearted republicans
and democrats / have determined to
announce myself as an independent
candidate for the Office of county su-
perintendent of public schools. 1t
has been rumOred by few, who have
not given the subject all the thought
of which it is worthy. that the county
is too large for lady to take charge
of it's schools and it would not be safe
for her to travel in Gallatin county.
Every intelligent person will admit
that nothing could be more beneficial
to ladies than an abundance of pure
air and outdoor exercise, and to one
who has been confined in the school
room during the greater part of her
life it would be 4 grand treat to have
the privilege Of visiting the country
schools. It is an established fact that
a lady is safer in Montana than gen.
tleman, and even the road agent, who
has no regard for the life or property
of man. would scorn to injure a woman.
I lave always taken deep interest IN
education. have regarded teaching rs
the highest profession and am certain
that, as county superintendent of pub
lie instruction, could do much to
elevate the standard Of education in
Gall.tin county. Citizens: l do not
come before you as Il politician. but as
a woman who is qualified to hold this
office honorably, and, without discuss
ing the political phase of the subject
at this time, it is Il self-evident proDo-
Sitiun that in business affairs and pro-
fessional vOcatlons Il woman has the
same inalienable right that a man has
to do whatever she can do well. he.
lieve that in Gallatin county there are
respectal le number of voters who
are gentlemanly inclined toward
God s last best gift to man. and are
willing to accord to her an equal
chance in making living by her III
