Montana's Sanee Stock.

Manager Concord of the Concord
Cattle company, with headquarters at
Miles City, IN speaking of the condi-
ton Of stock says: Il have just re-
turned from our range, extended 200
miles south of the Northern Pacific.
We have $4,000 head of cattle on
these ranges, and they all are in fine
condition. There is but little snow
and we now have no fears for tho rest
of the season. Ali cattle south of the
Yellowstone are doing well; and so
are what few sheep are there. There
is plenty of prime beef on the range
now.

Miles City Journal: Some little
was said at the time Of the attempted
robbery of the Spearfsh and Dead
wood stage regarding the reputation
of the smaller of the two would be

phonious title THAT is, for dime
noveD of Don Z. DoIph. In an in
terview yesterdaaa gentlemen
from the love- kswas gath
cred that his being q
hard citizen least bit
exaggerated. He sknowledged
to have assisted in aTobbery OF the
Las Vegas stage on three different
occasions and to have been successful
each time, the smallest haul which
they made being $500 Completely
in a shooting scrape at Sydney, Neb.,
caused his sudden retirement from
that country, together with numerous
other esca pades too numerous to
mention in detail His first idea
while here in town at large was, after
having taken unto himself a confed-
crate, to commit burglary upon a
certain house IN town, in which house
they had every reason to believe there
was large sum OF money concealed.
The scheme of holding up the train
then received due attention, but was
discarded as being too risky. The
prospect for loot upon the Utah i
Northern road was then carefully
considered, but it was not feasible
from the fact that the pecuniary
means necessary for their transporta-
over to the locality in question was
not in their possession. So in order
to get something upon which to work
to enable them to obtain the necessa-
ry equipments, etc, the Dcadwood
and Spearfish stage was selected as
being near town and not likely to Of
fer very much resistance. The result
is known and it is presumed that they
will postpone any furthey operations
Tor the present at least.

Collector Beecher, Of Washington
Territory, has just made $4,000 by
gobbling lot of opium Or rather
by having a e. S. revenue cutter do
it for him. The opium was valued at
Ss45, 900, of which he gets $4,000. It
has always been puzzle to us why
one branch of the service gets so
much better pay than another. A
regiment may capture a city worth a
million, and it is at once put under
guard to prevent the boys from even
taking wood enough to cook rot os
beans; but if a man of war captures a
merchantmen with a million dollars,
the man of wars men, from command
er to scullion, get the proceeds in
prize money. A sheriff and posse
may capture band of horse thieves
with animals valued at $4,000 and
get nothing but their fees as officers;
but a Revenue Collector, besides
drawing his salary, takes the bulk Of
proceeds from capture Of smuggled
goods, as in the instance cited above.
It looks as though the scales of JUS
tice do not balance-New Northwest.

welcome to our ranks or to the protection
OF our banner any organization requesting
admission, and such organizations as be-
lieve their craftsmen are better protected
under their present form OF government, we
pledge ourselves, as members OF the grand
army OF labor, to cooperate with them in
every honorable effort to achieve the sue
cess which we are unitedly organized to

a special committee to confer with a like
committee OF any national or information

Ter with us on the settlement OF any dill

bers OF the several organizations.
REPLY TO THE TRADE UNIONS.
We have received O communication from
n committee of the national officers OF some
OF the national and international trades
unions requesting certain specific legislation
at our hands. but as we believe that the
object sought and stated in the preamble to
the communication above referred to can
best be accomplished by a conference be-
tween a committee OF this association and
acommittee OF my other organization and
as the propositions contained therein are
inconsistent with our duty to our members,
we therefore defer action upon said propo-
sitions until n conference can be held. The
basis upon which We believe an agreement
can be reached would necessarily include
the adoption OF some plan by which all
labor organizations could be protected
from unfair men, men expelled, suspended
under fine or guilty OF taking the places OF
union men or Knights OF labor while on a
strike, or while locked out from work. and
that, SO far as possible, n uniform, stand.
ard OF hours n wages OF labor
should be adopted and that men OF
Any rad enrolled in our order and
members OF trades unions, may not come
in conflict because OF the difference in wages
or hour OF labor. We also believe that a
system OF exchanging working cards should
be adopted so that members OF any craft
belonging to different organizations could
any member OF this order admitting to
work in any union shop, and the card OF
any union man admitting him to work in
any knight OF Labor shop. Wefurther be.
lieve that upon q demand for increase OF
wages or shorter hours OF labor made
by either organization, a conference
should be held with the organized laborers
employed in the establishment; when the
demand for the increase OF wages or rcduc-
ton OF hours is contemplated. action upon
a proposed reduction OF wages or other
difficulty to be agreed upon in like manner
and that in the settlement OF any difficulty
between employers and employees the organ
i~zations represented in the establishment
shall be parties to the terms OF settlement.
Trusting that the method proposed herein
will meet with your approval, and that
organized labor will move forward and on
ward in harmony OF effort and OF interest,
We are yours fraternally.

We seek to raise the level OF wages, to re-
duce the hours Of labor, to pro.

Day of Their Honeymoon in the Mount

Deer Park, Md, June 3.-The president
and his bride spent the first day OF their
honeymoon in one OF the most beautiful
and romantic parts OF Maryland. They
arc in a cottage situated about fifty
yards from the Deer Park station.
Cleveland left their car at the station
the drive to the cottage occupied but a few
minutes, and until afternoon there ives no
sign OF either the bride orgroom. The house
is built in Queen Anne style, with peaked
rooi, and contains about ten rooms. 1t
sits on a knoll, and commands a pictur-
essque, view. A porch runs hall around
in the rear. No cooking is done in
the house, all meals being prepared
at the hotel near by. When the party en-.
tered the house a cheerful fire was blazing
brightly on the hearth. The house is guard
ed by twelve detectives. Mr.. Davis said
that the president had strictly e~nioined
secrecy before he would consent to come
here. and the company has tried to give
him as much privacy as possible. He will
not oven receive mail, and does not intend
20 see IN one during his stay. He will
certainly
REMAIN HERE UNTIL sATURD AY,
and probably until Monday. The train on
which he came 10 still here at his service in
case he should take n notion to leave at
any time. The bridal partyi is attended by a
French maid, the president valet and two
colored servants. Their baggage consisted
OF four largo trunks and W boxes. Mrs.
Cleveland brought only such garments as
would insure comfort, but the president
brought with him a fishing suit and outfit.
He will commence his piscatorial sport to-
morrow. There was no stir about the cot
tage until nearly noon. when the president
came out on the portico for a moment and
then vent inside. Mr.. Davis called at the
cottage about l o'clock and found the
president seated on the porch smoking a
cigar. Mrs. Cleveland sat reading a few
feet away. She vas dressed in a dark silk
costume, and looked extremely well. At 2
| o'clock a carriage was called, and bride and
groom took a ten.mile drive through a
charming part OF the country, taking in
