Time to Quit Bossing the Grab Bag and b
President
From the Pioneer-Press

flee, President Cleveland probably knows
somewhat more than lie did about the office
hunger of his fellow citizens. He has given
evidence of WEAKNESS of performing the
functions of spoils distribution by ANNOUNCE
ing that in the future he cannot devote his
entire time to hearing and Investigating re-
quests for position. 1t il we'll that he has so
decided The office he holds should not be
degraded into that of a grab bag custodian.
1t will be pleasing to the better element of
our population if he casts off that function
and maintains the true dignity of the high
office. He should be free to study the needs
of the nation, and leisure to do that cannot
be obtained If he gives his daily life TO the
babbling office seekers

Ito Dolphin matter, has reported adversely.

cannot DO accepted, that no contract exists

stiff enough for the services expected Of her |;
and (3) the general character Of her work
mAnship does not come up TO the require

In AN interview with Denver reporter
President Adams, of the Union Pacific, said !:
"As II is now, our company is losing money
by operating It's lines In Colorado, and we
would be much better of II the Colorado
lines could be cut off--swallowed up by an
earthquake, or otherwise lost. In fact, l
doubt very much IL the entire railway sys-
tenn Of Colorado 10 paying operating expen-
ses, much less making money for the own
ers." Why not turn attention then to Mon
tana aud by lower fre,ghts and fares build
up traffic and travel In this the best Of the
Territories. Encourage our farmers and In
duce greater acreage and more shipments BY
local rates that will enable them TO market
their produce with profit, and our miners
with rates that WILL encourage mining. 1t
is better policy to develop and increase the
business Of country by liberal tariffs than
TO tax It call II will bear.p The time Is ripe
for revision and reduction Of railroad fares
and tariffs In Montana. baaa ID fHt

A Hint TO Housekeepers.

II is customary TO use ammonia for the
purpose of neutralizing acids that have ac-
cidentally or otherwise destroyed the color
of fabrics. This must be applied Immediate
~, or the color is usually imperfectly re-
stored. After careful use, an application Of
chloroform will bring ont the colors as bright
rs ever. Plush goods and all articles dyed
with aniline colors, faded from exposure TO
light, win look as bright as ever after spong-
ing with chleroform. The commercial
chloroform will answer tine purpose very
well, and Is less expensive than the purified.

Justifiable Domestic Infelieity.
From the National Tribune.

A young EngIishman who was recently
married went home lately, and finding his
wife frying meat for supper kicked her so
savagely as to break. one of her legs. She
retaliated by throwing the painful of hot
meat and grease in his face. If there could
be anything that would justify such con-
temptible cowardice as wIfe-beatiug, it is
finding a woman determined to ruin the d.
gestion of her family by frying meat.

The shr,nkage at Bismarck.
Bismarck Jour-


The census returns show that there are
one hundred and seventy-four vacant
residences and business houses in the
city of Bismarck. The population of the
city is also shown to be fully one thous-
and less than it was two years ago. If
comment be made be made ut all upon
the subject, the truth should he stated.
All who know anything of Bismarck
know that the city WAS over-boomed two
years ago. Business blocks and reslden-
ces were put up on every hand, and to
the extent Of several hundred, and when
the boom burst, as it did, and as it does
in all over-boomed cities, only to gather
renewed force after a season of rest, it
was but natural that the disappointed
and crippled ones should go, leaving
their places vacant. Weare now on the
eve Of another boom, and if we expect
to gain the highest advantage from it,
correct information should be sent out
by the newspapers.
