Lies about Harrison will only sery,

and the less said about that the
better in decent circles, at least.
When we come to recount the moral

want the children or any ladies

born of principle and don't make
political capital by mud-slinging

and that principles, not men, if they
have any, would be their reliance in
this campaign.

Our Democratic friends will not
own the name of 'free traders" but
they argue continually against the
policy of protection. Douglas and
Stone at Offutt's Hall the other night,
both went over the Democratic
screed, which they role as a sweet
morsel. about the farmer getting up
and looking out through a taxed
window pane, and going the round of
morning chores with everyth ng
taxed that he sees or touches. They
speak of these things in the sense
that they are outrageous, and alto
gether unnecessary. And after paint
Ing them in the most obnoxious col
Ors they say they are not in favor of
abolishing them. They claim that
they are only per cent better in this
respect than the Republicans. They
denounce the system as unjust, I'M
reasonable and outrageous, and yet
declare themselves in favor of it, bnt
just little, a very little, less in favor
of it, than the Republicans.
Their whole stock-i trade of ar
guments is against the protection
policy, but they say they intend to
stick to it. Really it begins to look
like a condition" that has got hold
of them. Well, they are a logical
set anyway, and one always feels like
making apologies for the things the
Republicans had to do to put down

Republicans this advice: "Mr. Cleve.

men believe. 1t is idle on the part of
the Republicans to shut their eyes to this
fact. He has demonstrated that he
is conservative and safe on business is
sues. Mr.. Thurman is worthy COM
panion to him IN this respect. His in
telligence and his experience have given
him high position. The platform pro-
poses to do no violence to the business
interests Of the country-nct even to
those which have been identified with
the tariff, for it avoids radicalism in this
respect. The Democrats, after demon
strating for four years that they may
safely be intrusted with the government,
now at the end of that period appear
with candidates ami with a platform
adapted to increase the confidence that
has been gained by them. We submit
to the Republicans that it is policy on
their part to meet them in something
the same spirit. They may gain New
jersey and Connecticut with an extreme
position on the tariff. We admit this to
be possible. But may they not gain
them as easily by a more moderate
course? And will they aot, in this way,
much more be likely to hold Indiana, to
say nothing Of Michigan, Minnesota, or
other Western States that may be
threatened by an extreme attitude on
the tariff question: p

RAILROAD BUILDING.

The completion of the Manitoba or
Montana Central TO Butte is looked upon
by those who ought to know as an event
that will materially hasten the comple-
tion of some branch road now in pros
pect by the Union Pacific. True, this
road is not in position to do much rail-
road building and would not do 1t were
it not for the fact that the new road Just
entering Butte will take away great
deal of traffic formerly enjoyed solely
by the Union Pacific and partially enjoy
ed since by favorable pooling arrange
ment with the Northern Pacific. The
completion ofthe Manitoba road means
that it will take all the business it can get
and that it will not pool with any road.
Hence the Union Pacific will have to
branch out and make haste IN securing
several valuable franchises that they
cannot afford to leave for the rival road.
The road through the Pipestone Pass
heading in the direction Of Bozeman will
without doubt receive its attention first,
as grading has been done on it already.
One thing is very plain the building of
another railroad to Butte Is decidedly
advantageous to Bozeman, as it hastens
the day that will provide this city witt,
another railroad.
