The event of the week Is the resignation
of Dorman b. Eaton as head of the civil

President Cleveland. The resignation will
probably be followed by the other mem

A Times Washington dispatch of Mon

Senator James w. Duncan, of Ottawa, Is
strongly urged for district attorney OF the
Northern Illinois district by Col. Morrison.
A number of democratic politicians are
here, and 1t is said by some Chicago law
yers that Chicago presents two candidates
for this oifice-W. G.. Ewing and A. G.

doubt Is entertained that 1t will be Mr..
Ewing, but the rural democrats are clamor-

other good appointments.
Private advices from Washington indi-

Duncans appointment.

The great rolling mills strike at Cleve-

The trouble at Rock Springs, in Wyom.

Chinese miners, have become complicated
by the knights of Labor having espoused
the cause of the white miners, and while

SPRAY OF THE FALLS.

The machinery for the roller Touring
mill, now being built for Chowen u
Jennison, at this place, will be shipped at
| Minneapolis within thirty days.
The church fair at Sun River, on the
I'd and Sd inst. was IA financial success,
| the total receipts being Owe $500. Miss
Ella Brownson was voted the most popu-
lar lady and Was awarded the crazy quilt,
a handsome piece of needlework. Honor
came where honor was due in this in
stance.
Skeptics and those with ponderous in
t~ellects who have any doubts as to the flu
ture Of Great Falls, might probably be
benefited by a visit to the place and an
examination of the many advantages ma
ture HIS bestowed upon it, and also the
varied resources which surround it, and
of which it is the natural and practical
center.
j Hill is expected here soon, accom-
panied by IN eminent hydraulic engineer
who will make Il careful survey Of the
rapids and falls in order to determine the
best plan for the Improvement of the
water power. Mr. Hill being the owner
of a large part OF the water power at
Minneapolis, and having had much eX-
~perience in constructing canals and dams
at that place, will be apt to commence the
work here on a most permanent and sub
stantial basis.
Helena, always alive to any interest
which will in any way benefit her, is clam
oring for a shorter route to Great Falls
than that offered by the present read. 1t
is claimed a wagon road can be made over
the Bird Tail divide leading into Sulli-
vans valley, thence down the Missouri
rive: to a point just above the mouth of
Sun river where a ferry could be operated.
Parties claim it will shorten the distance
from fifteen to twenty miles, between the
two FONTS, and that the road will in every
respect be better than the present one. 1t
is probable a practical engineer will short
ly go over the route to determine iss feas-
Utility and the probable cost of putting it
in good condition.
In the vicinity of Great Falls are found
almost unlimited quantities OF varied
building stone of the finest quality. One
variety, in particular, of a brownish color,
is of a remarkably fine grain, susceptible
of a polish nearly equal to that of marble.
Several parties from the east, after a care
full examination, state that as regards
beauty Cf finish and durability it sur
passes the famous so-called brown stone
SO extensively used by those whose wealth
will admit, in building in The east. This
stone is easily quarried and is found in
sufficiently large quantities as to make it
| probable that with the advent of a rail
| road it will find Il market in all the east
| ern cities, where its great beauty will give
it j value which will place it alongside
the many other resources of northern
Montana.

WHAT THE SOUTH NEEDS,

The general expression is, that the
South is poor, and needs Northern
capital to create business and diffuse
prosperity. Superficial-minded people
seem to think that money is the chief
necessity to elevate the condition of a
people from low to high standard
i in life. Money alone never lifted a
people Intellectually, fitting them fol
good citizenship; money has no inner.
lent power to civilize. If the surplus
capital of the North were transferred
to the South, it might relieve some OF
the wretchedness and squalor, but
would not fit the ignorant masses fol
self-government. A Southern paper
understands the true wants of the
South better than many of our North.

ling:
"N0 man should expect others to
make his fortune for him, to develop
shis property for him, or to find his
chances for him. so long as he himself

EwhistIing for it. What the New
South" wants is not foreign capital to
eat up its land and carry away It's
profits, but education, that its own
sons may learn how to keep and use
their land. how to increase and mag

KNOWLEDGE.

No knowledge is useless. Whatevel
lone learns from books, in society, Oh
from nature, may at some time come
into use. Lawyers have gained great
cases by recalling at critical moment
principles or illustrations acquired years
before wShout the thought of ever using
them.
A ship was wrecked, years ago, on the
Sussex coast of England. All the crew
sperished, save four sailors, who were
1 cast on the rocks. But as the tide wa.
rising rapidly, they feared it would soor
cover the rocks, and that their escape
4 from death would be impossible.
Suddenly, one of the sailors saw {
/ little plant growing on the rocks, and
examining it more infinitely, found it tc
be samphire. He happened to know
] THAT that plant never grew under water
and was, therefore, able to assure his
companions of their safety.

WISCONSIN'S PROMINENT
EDUCATORS.

A just tribute was paid to some of
the prominent educators in this state
lat the late educational state convention
held at Racine. 1t is pleasing to no.
tice that KenOsha was conceded a
share of those who have rendered val.
liable service in this department.
Among the names of teachers who
were favorably mentioned in the con.
|vention was Col. ]. G. McMynn, who
was one of the early teachers in this
place, and who subsequently became
known throughout the state as one of
the most efficient and successful educa.
|tors'in Wisconsin. The President of
the educational convention, r. w. Bur.
ton, Of GAINESVILLE, in his opening ad.
dress, paid tine following just compli
|ment to Hon. j. G. McMynn:
Into the educational movements in
the state Col. McMynn has put the
most vigorous years of his life. His
reputation as public school manager
has, we believe, seldom been surpassed
and, in view of his eminent public
services, he deserves to spend the even.
ling of his life in abundance and peace.

LABOR AND FOOD.

The human body never ceases to
work. Even in the most profound
/ slumber some of the functions of life are
going on, as, for instance, breathing, the
circulation of the blood, digestion, when
there is food in the stomach ard it fol-
] lows that some part of the nervous sys-
] tenn is therefore awake and attending to
business all the day and night long. In
THE act of living, some of the substance
/ of the body is being constantly con-
ssumed. The amount of work done by
THE heart in one day in propelling the
blood is now estimated as equal to the
work of steam engine in raising 125
tons one foot high, or one ton 125 feet
thigh. We lose in weight by working.
Weigh a man after several hours hard
labor, and he will be found two or three,
land, in extreme cases, several pounds
Fighter. IF we do not wish to become
bankrupt, we must replace by food the
amount we have lost by labor. Hunger
land thirst are the instincts which,
prompt us to do this. They are like
automatic alarm clocks, which stop the
engine at various points to take on fuel
land water. In a healthy man as much
lis taken in as is required to maintain
the weight of the body against loss. MAJ
|ture keeps the account. On one side Isl
$50 much spent in work on the other,
$50 much received into the stomach for|
digestion. They should balance like the|
accounts of an honest book-keeper. I'M
AN unhealthy person the instinct of
hunger becomes disordered and doesI
not sound the alarm, and so the person.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.


Arrangements will he made for hold
ling farmers Institutes in many of the
counties in this state next fall anG
winter, under the auspices of the State
University. The State Agricultural
Society, Horticultural Society, Dairy
mems Association and the various
vocal agricultural societies are invited
Ito cooperate and assist. Practical
writers and lecturers on the subjects
embraced have been enlisted for the
work.
The Institutes will be held in such
counties as will thoroughly enter into
1.-THE purposes of the institute, bear local
Expenses, such as furnishing a hall OIL
place of meeting. providing for the

Ito secure good audiences, provide for
good vocal and instrumental music,
bring out the local talent for practical
addresses or the reading of papers pre-
pared for the occasion. The speakers
and lecturers from outside the county
charge nothing for their services.
Such is an imperfect sketch of what is
proposed. The farmers of this county
will have time to consider the matter,
and accept or decline the proposed
institute. There is more promised in
the institute than is here indicated,
and the subject will be referred to
again.

OVER-ABUNDANCE OF MONEY.

OVER-ABUNDANCE OF MONEY.
The superabundance of money in the
mark ct continues without change in
this country and abroad. Last week
the rates Of interest were reported SO
low in England that the banks charg-
led only one-half per cent, and at that
rate the calls were only limited. The
low price of money, instead of causing
Capitalists to rejoice, is in most cases
Ordinarily the scarcity of
money is embarrassing to most per-
sons, but now thousands of the more
wealthy classes feel Strengthened be
cause money is so cheap. This extra
|ordinary state of affairs applies to those
whose only income is derived from in
|terest on money loaned to borrowers.
Many thousands of families who rely
lon the interest of money invested now
find their incomes reduced to one-half
what they were not long ago. An in
come on given amount of capital in
vested, and which afforded a comfort.
|able support, now falls far short, not
because the expenses of living have in
creased, but for the reason that money
capital produces less income. The
New York Eoeni,ag Post has the fol.
lowing to say about the money market
"The New York market has already
felt the effect of the July disburse-
|ments. They are reported to reach the
enormous aggregate of $65, 100000
This money Will be largely invested In
securities to be held until there is a
more active call for money for bust
ness purposes. The surplus reserve of
the banks is 1907, 900 against &c.
s3e0, 800 last year. The gain in cash as
compared with 1884 is nearly 1858 ,O00,-
1000, and the loans have been expanded
less than $14,6O0.00O. The demand for
money, therefore, will have to increase
VERY largely before the rates of interest
Twill harden to any extent.
"Money is such glut in the New
Y ork market that some Of the trust
companies have refused to allow in

A GOOD WORD FOR SALEM.

Our Salem correspondent last week
furnished for the TELEGRAPH an in
|teresting notice of the musical enter
|tainmsnt given in the Congregational
church of that village, on the evenings
|of July and 10, under the direction
|of Prof. C. W. Gee. That standard
|piece of music, the "Oratorio of Queen
Esther" was artistically given, and in
"a manner that reflected much credit
on all who participated in the render
ling of that grand composition.
The citizens Of Salem deserve much
praise for encouraging and patronizing
IAN entertainment of this kind; it is
evidence of an appreciative people,
who properly estimate a high order OF
musical exercises. One such oratorio
