The House bill introduced by q
Democrat and passed by a Demo-
cratic majority, providing that no
person be appointed governor of a
Territory who has not been q resi-
dent of said Territory two years has
been adversely reported upon by a
Republican Senate. The MINER an.
ticipated this action upon the part of
that body and is not at all sur
prised that the Senate killed
the bill. The Republicans of
Butte, to be consistent with
their party, should take the earliest
opportunity to revise the platform
adopted by them at their late
county convention.

A soHnMR.

The Republican State convention
of New York and Pennsylvania hav,
passed resolutions demanding thu
immediate suspension Of silver coin
age and the readjustment Of all oul
currency to the single standard Of
gold. The demand is no empty for.
mality. Itt1 made in the strongest
language possible and backed by q
sentiment that will make itself felt
in the Chicago convention. The rur.
pose of the gold bugs is to commit the
party in power to the single gold
standard. The demonstration of
silver would greatly enhance the
value of gold, and it would vastly in
crease the value of all securities and
debts now payable in coin.
This is why the gold bugs of the
East demand the suspension of silver
coinage. They could afford to pay
millions to secure the establishment
of the single gold standard in this
country, for they would get their
money back a hundred fold in the
results that would follow the adop-
ton of their scheme.
The whole country is interested
in defeating this scheme. Montana
especially, should make her voice
heard in opposition to it. 1t is true
she has no voice in the National
Councils but her press and herpeople
can protest against the raid against
and make that protest heard.
The demonstration of silver ia a
pet Measure of the Republican party. |
The leaders of that partyin Montana
dare not openly endorse it. They
openly denounce it. They
should decline to support a party that
favors the degradation of the metal.
They should speak out in favor of
silver coinage. They
be as outspoken in support of
he silver interests as the Republi-
,ans of New York and Pennsylvania
ire 0utspoken in behalf of the gold
'ugs. They should oppose this
cheme of their own party. If they

how AND WHYq

In speaking Of the Territorial Re
publican Convention recently held ii

says:
"The choice of candidates to tn,

the men chosen are concerned, doe.

prevail when the fact of geographical
representation is considered. Silver

cerned, all eastern Montana is left
out in the cold. The result will be to
widen the breach already existing be-

1t may be the Republican party Is
dissatisfied with the selection of dele
gates to the Chicago Convention be-
cause eastern Montana is lett out in

to widen the breach already existing

In the basement OF a substantial

to people who want to chew gum it
ia just as satisfactory az any other

For the oil of cumin the horse has
an instructive passion-bOth are orig

the horse scents it, he Is instinct

The oil of rhOdium possesses Decu-
liar properties. All animals seem TO
| cherish q fondness for it, and it exer-
| cises q kind of subduelDg influence

The directions given for tanning a
| horse are as follows;
Procure some horse castor and
crate fine. Also get some oil OF rno-
dunn and oil of cumin, and keep the
three in separate air-tight bottles.
Rut q little of the oil of cum1n on
your hands and approach the horse
on the windward side, so that he can
smell the cumin. The horse will let
YOU come up to him without any
trouble.
Immediately rub your hand on the
horses nose, getting a little of the oil
on 1T. You al then lead him any
where.
Give him a piece of the castor on a
piece of loaf sugar, apple, or potato.
Put nine drops of the oil OF rho
dunn into a lady's silver thimble be-
tween the thumb and middle finger
of the right hand, with the fOrefinger
stopping the thimble t. prevent the
oil from running out whilst you are
opening the mouth of the horse.
AS soon as you have opened the
horses mouth tip the thimble over
upon his tongue and he is your serv-
ant. He will follow you like a pet
dog.
Ride fearlessly and promptly, with
your knees pressed to the horses side
and your toes turned in and heels
out, then you will be always on the
for any shy or sheer from the
horse, and he never throw you.

TARIFF WORKINGS.

Tn New York Times is the lead.
ing Republican journal in the United
States, and whatever it is pleased to
say upon the tariff queftion is read
with more than passing interest.
While holding to the doctrine of tar
lift for revenue only we reproduce the
following from that journal as show
ing the working of the present high
protective system in one instance: A
roadcloth dress suit which costs $50
inNew York costs only $22in London.
A heavy business suit which costs
$40 in New York, costs but $8.5 % in
London. A spring serge cvercoat
which costs $40 in New York, costs
but $3.50 in London. A silk hat
which costs S. in New York, costs
but So in London.
These articles altogether cost in
New York $40. In London they
cost but $6l. The man who buys
these clothes, therefore. in New
York, pays $79 more for them than
he could buy them in London. No
one will dispute that, with the tariff
removed. the same goods could be
purchased as cheaply in New York
rs In London, at least as cheaply plus
the freight rates between the two
cities. The man who pays, therefore,
$40 for clothes in New York, really
buys $6l worth of clothes, on which |
he pays $40 taxes.
And where do these taxes go? If
manufactured in this country, not
one cent reaches the Treasury. 1t is
simply SO taken by law from the
man that buys SCI worth of clothes
and given to the man who makes
If the goods are manufactured
abroad, $40 goes to a Treasury which
does not need it, and which can raise
all the revenue it requires on whisky.
tobacco and articles of luxury. In
case the purchaser of the
gets absolutely nothing for
he $40 Of the $40 which he spends.
If on buying the clothes he had to
pay $6l to the clothier and SO direct
y to d tax-collector, how long would
stand such extortion? In the result
here is not q particle of difference
between that system and the present
arif system, according to which he .

at upon it are pleased to call a "pro- I
