Union. If they never do more than give
their hours to drill aud parade they are
worth to the State, in their organized ca

If we would preserve our liberties. Let US

WHEN the police Of London on Lord
Mayors day ordered the West End shop
keepers to put up their shutters and close
their doors as the procession passed, they
confessed their fear of failure to preserve
the public peace. A senseless ceremony
was to take place that involved much out
lay, and more of gaudy display. 1t was to
be observed for traditional reasons, not to.
meet any governmental regulation or pub
lie need. It was calculated to invite assault
from the vicious and observation-disclosures
the timorous fears of the populace. Lon
don was spared riot by extraordinary
precautions taken by the local govern
ment; but it remains that the Lord
Mayors show mas become menace to life
and property in London. The Socialists
and Anarchists we're held in check by the
military and police forces; but would it
not have been better to have abandoned
the procession, as must be done some day :?
Is there any need to provoke the danger
Gus classes to violence? Would it have
been, after all, any confession Of fear, and
a concession TO the mob spirit, to have
abandoned that which has, in this day, lost
its original value aad meaning? We think
not. Socialism is to be combatted, crushed
out; bat is it best to do it by Inviting it
to assault?

SAYS the Examiner: "The most lone
some man in America viii be the solitary
Republican in the Georgia State Senate
when it convenes in January" But he
ought to be the proudest man in America.
He represents the protest of the nation
against the solidity of the South under
the lash of the Democratic party. He
will represent tolerance, political freedom
and the advance of thought. His isolation
will make him one of the most interesting
figures in the history of the legislative
year, and will suggest more forcibly to all
the people the danger of undivided politi-
cal control, than all the party sermons that
have been preached in the decade.

IT is gratifying to know that the Fruit
Growers Convention, which closed its
long session in this city yesterday, proved
of great interest and profit to all concerned.
The deliberations of the growers resulted
in the spread of much important informa-

and closer agreement as to the true pol
icy to be pursued in reaching fruit mar
kets, than had before been attained.

WHAT, asks the Oakland Tribune, will
California exhibit at the American Exhi-
bition in London next year? Precisely,
what? Dried and preserved fruits, of
course But is it impossible to make some
exhibits of green and ripe fruits? 1t is
time, certainly, that the matter should
have attention. There will present at
London an opportunity for California that
she cannot afford to neglect. We are by
no means of those who look upon legisla-
ton as the great remedy for all ills, or as
the chief means of attaining given ends
for the prosperity of the State. But if it
was wise expenditure on the part of the
Legislature to appropriate $4,000 to adj
vertise California in the eyes of the Grand
Army visitors, why will it not be even a
better investment for the Legislature to
set apart a small sum to insure good ex-
hibition of California products at the
American Exhibition in London ?

The Plug Hat Analyzed.

From The Shadows of a Great
City, / have succeeded in bringing
away but n thought.
/ find myself wondering. at its sug-
gestion, why the dramatist invariably
associates prosperity and plug hats.
Why poverty of all degrees. honest or
dishonest, worthy or unworthy, should
celebrate its emancipation by assuming
at once and without any preparatory
steps this most arrogant and naughty
of head-coverings.
That dramatic villiany should usually
triumph in a dress coat and a stove
pipe hat has always seemed quite natu-
| raj and reconcilable with original canons
Of human nature, but that mere wealth
should express itself in a similar fashion
is not so comprehensive.
Yet for Williams the the plug hat is
simply admirable.
Nothing so de-humanizes a man as
the cold glitter and uncompromising
rigidity of the silken tile. To request
the loan OF a round and comfortable
derby is difficult; to borrow of a plug
hat requires superhuman nerve.
1t subtly justifies the most heartless
u~tterances of its wearer, BY the sheer
force of its callous aud n~nrufied impas-
stability; it is the most cruel, unyield-
ing. Incorporating and ugly of hats.
It's admirably consistent, too.
For while it is a perfect expression
of villainy in its sleek success, it lends
itself with perfect adaptability to every
stage of a downward career.
Is there anything, for example, in
which a drunken man looks drunken
than in a plug hatp
If whole, it makes him the worse by
contrast; ii broken, through sympathy.
Forthe most eloquent symbol Of ire
trieyable d~ilapidation. OF shameless
vagabondism, is a caved-in silk hat.
All this was suggested by George
Benson. the villain of MI. Shewelps

Costly Bound Books.

The number of bound volumes for
the private use of members of the
house Of representatives for the last
congress exceeds fourteen thousand.
This number is far in excess OF the al
lowance of the ~forty-eighth congress.
The volumes are mostly bound in ex-
pensive material, half Turkey being
the most popular, and the estimated
cost is about $4,000. The members
use them for gift-bcoks, and distribute
them sparingly among favorlte citizens.

Robert Peel's Grandson.

/ was at Harrow public school on
speech day, writes Hon. Seth Low in
The Brooklyn Magazine for November,
and heard recited by two of the boys
quotations : touching Ireland. With
admirable fairness n boy was gwen
part of one of Grattan's speeches, in
which Grattan stated Ireland's case
with all the vigor and manliness of his
eloquence. To the other boy. who
happened to be the grandson of Sir
Robert Peel, was allotted a part of his
grandfather's speech of 1884 against
the repeal of the act of union. In this
speech Peel depicted the part that
Irishmen had played in the concerns
of the empire, mentioning by name
Wellington and others, and pointing
out how entirely free from jealousy the
English were, that it had been an Irish
man who had done this and that thing
for the common glory, and appealed to
the Irish to realize how greatly the
field of enterprise for Irishmen was
widened by their union with Great
Britain. 1t was an appeal that stirred
the blood even of an American.

Grim undertaken of the year,
From whom all song and JOY hath fed,
Who, kneeling on her cold, gray hills,
Weeps DER her loved and lovely dead;
Thou cometh with thy sullen frown,
And mirth thy gloomy presence grieves,
To cover all earth's beautiful
With a dark shroud of fallen leaves;
And bid the legion winds awake
Wild dlrges 'mong the gray old trees,
Where late the grand October waved
Her notified banners to the breeze;
And drape our Indian summer skies
With clouds so deep and dark of hue,
We scarce can see the hills that dreamed
Meath blue gold mists and golden blue.

About Letters of Introduction.

If letters of introduction are given
you to present yourself or family TO the
notice of mutual acquaintance, send
them in an envelope with card and adj
dress enclosed in it.
1t is much better to thus introduce
yourself to their notice than to call in
person. for by so dong you may avoid
an unpleasant position. You are a per-
feet stranger to the lady, and although
your name is mentioned by your mutu-
al friend, vet it will take her u few sec
onds to read it, while you must stand
hat in hand, waiting a reception which
may not always be a cordial one. For
in these days of agents of all kinds,
and in this tagging age, people of re-
spectacle appearance WI force them
selves into your houses and insist up
on seeing some one OF its occupants,
solely for the purpose of obtaining
money for themselves or others, and
therefore strangers are looked upon
with suspicion at their entrance into
the parlor. and while your letter is be-
ing read you must fall somewhat un-
der this suspicion.
Yet if the mutual friend possessed
the right to introduce you, the moment
his and your name are comprehended
you ought to receive a cordial well
come, but if he has been more kind
than wise, and the mistress is worldly
wise, the reception may not be a very
warm one. Make a short call at that
time, and if, being a gentleman, you
are requested to call again soon, be
sure to do so.
Letters of introduction should never
be sealed, but left open TO be read by
the one who presents them, and to be
at once opened b. the ene who reads.
They should be written upon the best
note paper obtainable, and the envel-
ope should match it exactly. The hand
writing should be made very legible,
and the lines wide apart, SO as to be
quickly read. An attention to those
seeming triies is not only desirable
but reputable.
Ii friends send you a letter of intro
duction stating that intimate friends of
theirs are going to reside nea you, and
asking your kind attention for them,
you should answer the letter at once,
and express your willingness to accede
ID bItI NloutS. ~ ACAlCCb W w ia
would show you to be an Inbred per-
son, and it would also be a slight
which would be deeply felt by your
friends.
1t may seem of little consequence to
you whether your letter of introduction
is written on the best note paper you
possess or on the poorest; or whether
you call a day or two earlier or later
upon a new conner; or whether you are
in the drawing-room ready to receive
an expected visitor, or walking in your
garden, yet upon such little things
much may depend. They are not inn
material because your reputation for
good breeding may be involved by
them. OF course persons may bring
to you letters of introduction with
whom you cannot desire In intimate
acquaintance. If SO, you should call,
but it is not your positive obligation to
invite them to tea or dinner. Yet it is
considered an exhibition of kindness on
your part to do SO. But do not give
the invitation with the air of cit must
be done, therefore / do it."-Home

A visit to Ira Myers & Co.'S extensive
mill and factory showed everything in
ship shape, and the numerous machines
running smoothly. 4 number Of i'm
provements have been made in the mill
during the past two months, prominent
among which is the Encouragement Of the
entire plant of machinery. Other i'm
provements of an important nature will
shortly ba made. Dir. Myers, the head of
the firm, is constantly on the ground and
charge of the business, which is destined
to become n of the most important in
Great Falls. This is the pioneer mill in
the place, having been established first in
'S3, but the present plant of machinery
was purchased new and placed in posi-
ton about M year ago; and is beyond
question the most complete in the Terri
tory, being equipped with machinery of
the latest improved patterns for the manu-
facture of lumber, lath, shingles, siding,
flooring and mouldings: The company
have several millions of feet of logs cut
on the upper Missouri aud Smith rivers,
a portion of which will be here in a few
days, and from one to one and a half mil
lion feet of lumber will be cut the pres
ent season. At present tho mill is run.

Barley,

Barley is a cereal which can be produc.
cd here quite as successfully as wheat,
and will eventually become quite an i'm
portant industry. The Courier has the
following to say of the crop produced in
the Gallstin valley last year: BARLEY
bids fair to become one of the important
cereals in Gallatin valley productions.
The shipments made from this place to
Milwaukee, Duluth, Cincinnati, Philadel-
phia and New York last fall were reward
ed by q most profitable market. Buyers
are unanimous in pronouncing our barley
the equal, if not the superior, of Califor-
MAS product. 1t is much heavier, fully
as bright, and has 8 peculiar agreeable
flavor, which is entirely lacking in the
barley grown in the eastern states. The
finest brands Of bottled beer are made al
most exclusively of western barley, and
as Montana new takes the lead in quality
she ought to soon be able to lead in guam
tity as we'll. The market is almost un-
limited and while prices will not, in all
likelihood, be as high as last year, still
they are sure to be sufficiently high to
make it a very profitable crop.n
