Ohio river fat boatmen in old times
used TO have saying, and believed in it
too, that ''water is clean after it has
flowed over nine stones, no matter what
it was before" 'It would be comforting
to fastidious New Workers, says metro
politan paper, elf they had some such
conviction as an offset to the hideous
information made public by Inspector
Lewis, of the health department, to the
effect that "the territory from which the
Croton water supplies is obtained en-
braces cesspools, barnyards, 9,455 cows,
1,244 horses, /, 800 pigs, and 20 sheep,
and population of 90, 900 persons with
their dwellings, The first thing we
know some Philadelphia newspaper will!

'Whyl Hellol Croton water is as
filthy as our own Schuylkillp This
matter of pollution of the water supplies
of our large cities is most momentous
one already, and must become more and
more serious as our population increases.
1t is simply amazing, in view of the facts
existing, that people are not more gener-
ally careful to have thoroughly filtered
the water they require for household

The New York Times declares that
"all the most successful farmers are now
specialists. One grows apples and pears,
and his name is we'll known in the mar
kets at home and abroad, for thousands
of barrels of choice fruit bearing his
name are scattered over two continents.
Another produces fine butter, and has a
steady and regular market for his pro-
duct. One grows potatoes and sells
several thousand dollars worth every
year. Others breed stock, horses, cattle,
sheep, and some poultry and hogs, but
all gain a reputation in their own ways
and have q sure and wide outlet for their
products. 1t must now be so with the
majority of farmers, for they have been
cast adrift from their old landmark and
have fallen into a network of cross cur
rents which carry them wholly away
from their former courses. An instance
Of this is tho dairy, which is wholly at
the mercy of substituted artificial pro-
duct against which there is no possible
competition excepting by making the
choicest quality of butter and cheese.

Why He Left the Hills.

The following taken from the Black
Hills lines, relates to JACK Baronette
a welI-known guide aud oid-timer OF
the Yellowstone country, now an as
sistant SUPERINTENDENT of the National
Park:
Jack was one Of the first to reach
the Hills, and one OF the first OF the
old Montanlans to leave it. His de-
parture was not Of his ,eking, but a
matter of discretion. Our govern
ment was purely provisional at the
best, and III many localities was OF
still less form. A lawyer named
Trlmblin from Nebraska, had smolh-
cred the best portion OF Battle Greek,
when IN February, 1877, a great STAN
pede to the locality occurred. Find
ing the ground all staked out but UNI
represented and no one to represent
it, the miners smelled a very large
mouse, instituted an investigation,
discovered the condition Of affairs,
and deprived Trimblin of a greater
portion OF his ground. Jack Bar
%onette, conspicuous among the miners,
incurred Trimblin's great ~displeasure,
and the latter, under the influence of
liquor, met Baronette at Hayward,
and in a very cowardly manner at
tempted to kill him, firing two or
three shots III rapid succession. Too
much alcohol medicine made his aim
erring, and Jack, in s~elf-defense, I'M
seated his enemy. 1t was a fatal
shot. Jack was arrested, tried and
acquitted as he properly should have
been, but the proceedings being in
formal because not legally instituted,
created apprehenslons III Jacks mind
OF re arrest, trouble and expense upon
the establishment of a competent gov
eminent, SO, quietly disappeared 'be-
tween two days returning to his old
Yellowstone haunts where he has
since remained. He was the first to
discover mica in large quantities in
the hills. Jack has ever been one Of
General Sheridan's fayorate scouts
and Rocky mountain guides. He al
ways accompanied the general when
le visited Yellowstone Park. His re-
cent appointment as an assistant
superintendent was probably through
the influence and recommendation Of
Gen. Phil Sheridan, who appreciated
the man at his worth.

Cure for Barbed Wire Cuts.

An exchange says it may not be
generally known that there is a very
simple and inexpensive remedy for
cuts and bruises on horses and cattle
at the command of almost every one.
Furthermore, the remedy is to be re-
lied upon. In cases of fresh cuts OF
injuries from barbed wire, however
severe, or running sores, apply to the
wound lime, fresh Stacked. of the con
sistency of thick cream, with Il COM

as thick as possible. and repeat daily
or oftener if Necessary. In q short
time new flesh will form ana the
wound will heal with harlis . 5ea.

Commissioner Sparks perhaps
thinks he has perpetrated a great
practical joke in saying that Montana
does not need any surveys, as
all her agricultural land has been sur
veyed, but he shows more ignorance
than wit. Agricultural lands are these
capable Of cultivation without irriga-
ton. Though Montana has a small
proportion Of lands answering this re-
strictive definition, she has plenty Of
land that will bear rich crops with If
rigation, and has good facilities for
irrigation. Lands need to be survey
ed Just as much to be taken under the
desert act as in any other way. Per
haps Congress viii recognize tie
equity Of disposing of desert lands rs
it did Of the swamp lands. But
Sparks or no Sparks, surveys on no
surveys, Montana will be settled and
cultivated.-Herald.

The house committee on pnbllc
lands has agreed to report favorably
the bill for a ROAD across the north
east corner of the Yellowstone Park.
Delegate Toole had a hearing before
the committee, and met the objections
made by the special agent Of the inte-
rior department, who reported ad-
yersely to allowing a road to run into
the park. Maj. Toole said that the
bill would undoubtedly pass. It pass
ed the two houses last winter, but was
killed by a conference committee.

The simple fact that Mr.. A. G. Lor-
ing, one of the members of the Gal
axy Mill Company of Minneapolis,
and also one of the best known and
wealtheast business men of that city,
has become Interested in the milling
business in Great Falls, carries with
it a deep significance. The Cataract
mill of which he is now part owner, is
the only Touring mill worthy of the
name in Northern Montana, and was
started last fall under peculiarly adj
verse circumstances, and after numer-
Gus and unavoidable delays. To say
that the mill more than fulfilled the
expectations of all is putting it mildly.
The -four made has steadily grown in
popular favor and within the next
twelve months will take the place of
the States product throughout this
section of the country. To make the
milling industry a success here, will
call for the cooperation of the farm
ing community, who must grow a
good quality of wheat and plenty of
it. A disadvantage which the pro-
prietors labored under last fall was
the lack of storage room. This will
be remedied, by the erection of a large
warehouse this summer, in which to
store the grain when received. and
hereafter no complaint will be heard
on this score. Ready cash, which is
an importent factor in every business.
will not be lacking, and the farmer
who brings his grain to Great Falls
the coming season will be paid the
highest market price for the same in
good. hard cash.

A Good Week for Maryland.
ADDRESSES BY

1t was a good week for Maryland
Prohibitionists, beginning with
Tuesday last. 1t was the week of
the annual conventions of the two
State Prohibition organizations,
the Maryland Temperance Alliance
and the Prohibition Party of Mary
land. Although two distinct organi-
cations, the life and working force
of the one is really the motive
power in the other
For thirteen years the Alliance
has battled bravely and victorious
ly for the homes of Maryland,
wrestling by its persistent assaults
and sieges, more than half of the
State from the cruel grip and
grasp of the pirate Liquor Traffic.
But in the onward march of the
great Reform, they who had been
SO long devoting heart, soul and
pocket book to the cause, were con-
WINGED of the imperative demand
for a closer mobilization of the
Prohibition forces, whereby they
might be welded more effectually
in concentrated attacks at the polls,
which is found by experience and
observation to be the enemy's most
Vulnerable point. Hence the organi-
zation of the Prohibition Party of
Maryland, which is already march
ing on with steady tramp, tranp,
that is striking terror to the politi-
cal Hessians and allies of the
tyrant foe.
But there is no time now for
philosophizing, as the FREEMAN
readers will be more interested in
the proceedings Of these two
deliberative bodies, whose sole aim
and purpose in coming together
was to advance the cause of
righteousness and the interests of
the people Of Maryland and the
country at large.
With SO much valuable work
crowded into these three days
it will be manifest at the
outset that only brief outline of !

Maryland Convention Notes.

Read Reports Of Maryland Con-
vention Proceedings, on first and
fifth pages.
One of the Invest young meu
of the Convention was Mr.. Frank
B. Sappington, of Frederick City.
His stirring speech when called to
preside at the Wednesday night
Mass Meeting, showed the stuff that
true Prohibitionists are made Of.
Rev. D. G. Babcock, G.. VIC. r.
of I. 0. G.. t., of Pennsylvania,
present throughout the Conven-
tions, as representative of the Ma
tional Temperance Publication So
ciety, is one of the solid men, so
valuable to great reforms. His ear
nest, pleading Prohibition prayer,
before Mrs. Lathrop's address, was
an inspiration to all Christians
present who had faith in the right
eousness of our cause.
1t was good to meet Miss Sarah
Harris, Of Virginia, in the Balti-
more meetings. She is always at
the front, where any good work is
to be done.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. W. Tudor were
among the live spirits of the
Conventions. The West Virginia
visitors, Hon. T. r. Carskadon,
Dave D. johnson, and Eye editor"
were delightsomely entertained at
their Baltimore home on Wednes-
day.
The Robinson Family endeared
themselves to all Maryland by
their most excellent music, furnish
ed throughout the three days ses-
sions.
Mr.. j. L. Thomas, of Cumber-
land, though Zacceus in stature,
showed himself a David for sturdy
blows and stalwart courage, when
ever the whisky Philistines were
to be assailed.
With such leaders as Revs. Har-
vey Johnson, G. Fl. Williams and
other colored delegates present..
Maryland may well hope for early
and effective Prohibition help from
the colored brethren.
To mingle with the able, earnest
and determined men and women
in these two Conventions, was
enough to assure any careful OBJ
server of Maryland's early redemp-
ton from the curse of the saloon.

Second Grand Mass
Meeting.

MRS. LATHRoP CARRIES THE DAY.
The Alliance having adjourned,
the non-partisan gave place to
the partisan, and on Wednes-
day evening, the platform was
decorated with Prohibition Party
banners, and in the center back
ground was first seen on entering
the hail., in huge letters,
PROHIBITION
THE ISSUE IN 1883.
Mrs. Lathrop of Michigan, for
two lively hours, at once delight
ed, instructed and convinced the
audience, carrying all her eager
hearers whittier she would. Her
address was veritable cyclone of
womanly logic and pathos.
After music by the Robinson
Family, by request, Miss Ada
Mosher recited with delightsome
effect, Mrs. Lathrop's poetic tribute
to the memory of Cough.
1t was good evening for Prohi-
bition in Baltimore.

Committee and responded with
congratulations and good cheer.
THE FIRST MASS MEETING.
MRS. LATHRoP AND SENATOR COLI
QUIT.
On Tuesday evening came the first
rich courses of the grand three
days Prohibition collation..
The audience was enthusiastic,
the music by the Robinson Family
was inspiriting and the ad-
dresses by Mrs. Lathrop, of
Michigan, and Senator Colquitt, Of
Georgia, were mastery, sweeping,
and altogether unreportable as to
their effects in stirring the hearts
and convincing the minds of the
people.
There is no room here for using
the copious notes taken of these
addresses, but they will serve to
supply FREEMAN ammunition for
future issues.
WEDNESDAYS SESSIONS.
On Wednesday interesting re-
ports from the counties were con-
tinued. 5SFnHt
DR.. VIM. R. Wilmer charged the
slow progress of Charles county to
the Liquor Traffic.
Rev. Mr.. Hazard and Mr.. Hall
testified to the glorious success of
Prohibition in Dorchester.
DR.. Webster reported good pro-
gress in Hartford.
Rev. c. H. Williams, colored, OF
the M. P. Church, spoke for Kent
county, and made one of the best
speeches of the sessions. His as.
surance that the coiored vote would
yet prove the balance of power for
Prohibition was greeted with
hearty applause.
Rev. T. O. Ayres, of Caroline,
wanted to celebrate the occasion OF
the failure of one William Fell, a
hotel keeper, and one Senator
Goldsborough, who wanted to del
uge Caroline county with whisky.
REDUCED NINE TENTHs.
Reports were submitted from r.
R. agents and county officials,
showing that in different Local OPP
ton counties, the outlawing of the
saloons had reduced the quantities
of liquors, shipped, sold and con-
sumed, at least nine-tenths.
A Queen Anne delegate said,
Local Option has given us COM
fort, peace and happiness, and puts
money in our pockets"
Rev. Cyrus Robinson made an
earnest appeal for help in the COM
ing contest in Annapolis and
Brooklyn.
Time would fail to note the ma
ny other stirring reports and ap-
peals from the counties.
REV. HARVEY JOHNSON GETS OFF
THE FENCE.
Rev. Harvey Johnson, colored, of
the Union Baptist Church, gave
the Alliance a pleasing sensation,
and made the happiest hit of the
two Conventions.
He rose to combat the statements
repeatedly made that the colored
voters opposed Prohibition because
they thought there was a Demo
cratic trick in it. He proceeded to
review briefly tne history OF the
race since the war and to show how
their loyalty to the Republican
party had absorbed their whole at
tention and enthusiasm. He said,
eve stuck close to the Grand Old
Party until at the last election we
were all thrown into the lions
den." "But, Brethren" said he,
"we're not eaten up yet. And now
we're looking about, ready to unite
against the common enemy of us
ALL He continued, clearly COM
mitting himself to Prohibition,
though he said, GAS this is a nom
