DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

Normal J. Coleman, United States
Commissioner of Agriculture, together
with party of distinguished editors of
farm and stock papers arc expected in
Helena to-day, on u tour of observation
1t is presumed that they were invited to
come to Montana by the managers of the
Montana Railway, which is alive TO all
of its interests and is anxious to show
the leading agricultural men that it has
large scope of country as yet unsettled
that offers an inviting field to the set
tier. We earnestly trust that this dis.
, tinguisled larty will find time to visit
the Egypt of America" and view in al,
Its lovliness the valley of the Gallatin
which Mr. Colen an las had occasion to
speak of as the section where the largest
crops of the United States are raised.
We are sure tn 1t this party of distinguis.
ed gentlemen would see much that
would be highly gratifying to them and
we are sure that our hospitable people
would take peasnre in entertaining them.

A REFRESHING CONFESSION.

James p Foster, president of the Re.
publican League of the United States,
has promulgated a remarkable cnnliden-
tial circular. AS an argument in favor
of free trade it is as full of significance
as an egg is of meat. In his plea for
money for the campaign, rea the follow
ing items:
"It may not beof your personal knowl-
edge, but it is in fact, nevertheless, that
the manufacturers of the United States
who are most benefited by our tariff laws,
have been the least willing to contribute
to the success of the party which gave
them protection, and which is about to
engagein a life.and-death struggle with
free trade.
A Republican United States Senator,
from State which never had Demo
cratic representative in either House of
Congress or a Democratic Stat officer
in speaking Of the well-known disposi.
tion of the manufacturing interest to lock
up its money, fold its hands, and look on
while somebody else fights for its success,
says:
4 was solicited to contribute toa pro
tective tariff league, and | replied til at if
the manufacturers Of the United States
in their ass ,ciation capacity were an ell
eemosynarv institution that would vote
to give them pension, bat that did
not propose myself to contribute money
to advance the interests ofmen who were
getting practically the sole benefit, or at
least the most directly important bene-
fits of the tariff laws. In fact, have it
from the best possible source that the
manufacturers of Pennsylvania, who are
more highly protected than anybody
else and who make large fortunes every
year when times are prosperous, practi-
ca,ly give nothing towards the mainten-
ance of the ascendency of the Republican
party
The above, recollect, comes from a
leading Republican who is engaged in
the work of wringing C, ntributons out
the members of his party for campaign
purposes, and in sheer desperation he
is Obliged to tell some important truths
and at the same time frighten the rich
monopolists who are enjoying the bene-
fits of high protectio into contributing
to the fund which has for its object the
advancement of protection and its per.
petuity. Cannot the sensible farmer
sec where the shoe pinches, when he
has all this undeniable testimony before
him?"

CAPITAL COMING.

1t begins to look as it Bozeman had at
last succeeded in exposing its charms to
the capitalist and would. derive bene-
fit from men of means from the outside,
who find it rich field for paying invest
ment. During the past two weeks Mr..
Andrew g. Tod, el,hew of Mr.. Tod,
of New York, member of the firm of
Kennedy & Tod, bankers, has been in
the city and has made some Investments
that will be of permanent benefit to the
city as well as to himself. Mr.. Tod is
infatuated with the prom ises held out
for the future of the city and expresses
the greatest confidence in Its future. 1t
is such men as he that we have been
waiting for and more will follow.

The first session of the Fifti eth Con.
gress bids fair to break the rec ord as to
the length of the session. No one dares
to name time for adjournment. II
they are not still in Washington in Sep.
tsmber it will be because the heat will
drive them away. Let us glance at the
regular business that has to be finished
up before they can adjourn. OF the
fourteen regular appropriation bills, only
two-the Military Academy and Pension
bills-have passed both houses. Five OF
the others have passed the House, and
one is now pending before that body
Six of them have not been reported
from the committees. The first session
of the Fortv-ninth Congress was called
very slow, but at corresponding date
two years ago, it was more than a third
ahead of the present Congress.

A REMARKABLE PROCEDURE.

One day last week the Helena Herald
published a despatch, dated at Billings
which stated that the Gazette of Bill.
fngs had been attached for debt. TIE
Independent, the next morning, con-
tained despatch of similar nature.
The next day both papers denied the
statement, and it was thought that the
matter would rest at this. But not so.
The editor of the Gazette, on Friday
morning, appeared at Helena. and had
Messrs. Jack Fisk and Alex. Devine, of
the Herald and Independent respec
lively, extricated from their warm beds
at midnight's holy hour, and taken by
course of law to Billings, two hundred
and fifty miles. Arriving there, they
were Immediately conducted to tn =,
august presence of the Grand Jury, and
asked to reveal the name of the person
who furnished them with the lnforma-
tion already referred to. They, very
properly, refused to answer. Then the
Grand Jury reported the matter to Judge
Liddell, and he directed that the ques
tion be answered, or the witnesses
would have to suffer the consequences
laid down by the law. Whereupon
Messrs. Fisk and Deyine did as they
were ordered.
We notice that the aforesaid papers
are inclined to condemn the action of
Judge Liddell in this matter. We fail
to see where they have the shadow of an
excuse for so doing. 1t is probable that
the Judge did not know that they were
under arrest until they arrived at Bill
lings, and it was plainly his duty to order
them to answer the questions asked
them by the Grand Jury, such are the
powers delegated to these bodies. We
fail to see wherein he could have done
differently, and followed the law regard
ing such cases. Whether or not the
parties arrested should have made
known the name of their informant, we
are not sufficiently acquainted with the
facts to say but If there was a founda
tion for the statement. the managers of
the Herald and Independent should
have gone willingly TO the cold bastile.
Their incarceration would have been for
short time only, and there is no law
compelling a witness to criminate him.

TESTIMONIAL WITHOUT SOLICITATION
From one of the Best Practical
Farmers and Machine Men IN
Montana.

BozEMAN CREEK, GALLArIN CouNry,)

DECEMBER ist, 1887.
F. L. Benepe, Bozeman, Montana.
DEAR SIR:-The Deering All-Steel Bin

started up by your gentlemanly and eff
ficient Mr.. F. H. Harris, surprised us all.
I have used on my farm four different
makes of Binders, and pronounce
yours the chief. gave it hard trial, as
my grain was very heavy, green and

self. However, we cannot let this mat
ter pass without pointing out the moral
which adorns this tale, and it is this:
During the past six months there has
been a great deal of information con-
veyed from Billings to the Helena
papers. which, to say the least, has been
unreliable and malicious. The char.
acters of good men have been ruthlessly
assailed. and the most reckless state
ments have been boldly published, and,
while we cannot endorse the Dracoian
arrogance of the Grand jury in this
matter, we can but hope that halt has
been called, and that the news from the
capital of Yellowstone county will here
after be of a more reliable character.

The Mills tariff bill, when it comes
before the House again, will have quite
a number of amendments added. But
none will be accepted or voted for by
Democrats, except those which have
been accepted by the Democratic caucus,
a resolution to that effect having been
unanimously passed by the caucus on
Wednesday night. The amendments
which have been accepted by the caucus
are rather numerous, but do not affect
the bill to any great extent. 1t is esti.
mated that, all told, they will make more
than $1,000 600 a year difference.

About the AllSteel Deering Binder.
He Thinks 1t Beats Them All.

BozEMAN, Montana, July Goth, 1887.
Mr.. BENEPE:-The boys started my
machine in green wheat that will make
40 bushels per acre, and think it beats
anything ever saw in harvest field, it
pulled light, bound tight and never
missed a bundle. My new Deering gets
away with first blood on Cottonwood, l
am more than pleased with it.
Very Truly,

The house committee on public lands
has adopted the substitute offered by Mr..
Holman, of Indiana, for the general land
grant forfeiture bill, which recently pass
ed the Senate. The Senate bill permits
the roads to hold all the lands along the
line as lar as the roads have been COM
pleted, regardless of the time limit pro-
vided in the original grants. Mr.. Hol.
mans substitute holds the railroads to a
stricter accountability, and forfeits all
lands not earned strictly according to the

A Republican paper editorally says
that the Democratic national conven-
tion was perfunctory and devoid of
enthusiasm. In the same issue the press
report of the meeting says that the
cheering in the convention hall was of
such hearty character that it drowned
the noise of a brass band composed of
sixty pieces. The truth of the matter
is that there was wild enthusiasm at this
convention and at every mention of
Cleveland's name there was whirlwind

the brush clean among which were
thousands of shoots from J to / of and
