MAYOR SULLIVAN.

The Independent publishes an inter
view and credits it to Mayor Sullivan Of
Benton. This pleasantly occurred on
Saturday, but it was no doubt intended
for the following day when custom has
given some sanction to playing April fool.
The said interview bears the impress of
forgery. 1t makes the mayor say: GAIL
this talk about the great water power
makes me weary" Now it is well
known that since he became mayor, Mr..
Sullivan has given his nights and days to
the study of hydraulics. He initiated
the Wolston water works and he planned
the bridge over the Mssouri-feats which
none of his predecessors had the energy
to do 1t is impossible that water power
should make Jere Sullivan weary for
when here he could talk for hours in
flowing periods Of the glories of the cata-
racts.
The Independent shows its dark design
by making the Benton mayor say also: "ln
this country with its long winters cheap
fuel is more important factor than water
power. If town wants water power
there's enough water in the Missouri, l
guess to furnish it." This is downright |!
nonsense and could not have been utter
ed by Mr.. Sullivan, who is known for his
sound common sense. He knows that we
have both cheap fuel and water power
here and he would never have used such
A jangle Of words in disparagement Of
Great Falls. Besides it is in utter conflict
with his knowledge of hydraulics which,
must have taught him that water and
water power are not alike.
The scribe Who would palm off this inco-
lerent talk as the utterances of Mayor
sullivan makes him speak on hotels and

Charleston Disturbed.

A society lady of Charleston recently
invited Mrs. Langtry to attend tea es-
peclally for her to meet some of the
society leaders Of the place. Mrs. Lang
try was on hand but the leaders were not,
and the town is all torn up over the event.
The reason of the absence of the ladies is
because they do not consider the actress
a proper person to meet, not because she
IS an actress, but on purely personal
grounds. The town has not been torn up
over anything that has happened since
the earthquake.-Pioneer Press.

North Montana trade has plainly en-.
tered upon a new area. Competition is
active, not alone in prices but in assort-

The public taste has changed too. Peo-
pie now require tirst-class furniture,
hardware and clothing. They are able to
pay for them and will have them.

CONN ERCTAL UNION.

The question OF commercial union
with Canada is receiving some attention.
1t has not yet become a part of practical
politics, but is in that preliminary stage
which proceeds legislation. The propos-
ed scheme resembles that which pre-
vailed in Germany where there was free
traffic among the states with common
customs tariff. The union would place
Canada on the same basis as Vermont
or any other American state, except that
some method would be devised by which
Canada would receive part of the revenue
from the customs. Montana for instance
would be at liberty to send goods duty
free into Canada, but foreign goods
would pay at Montreal the same rates
of duty as at New York. There are
grave difficulties in the way of any such
arrangement. Canada is now in better
position to enter into it than she was
some time ago when her debt was light
and her tariff imposed low duties, but
it would be difficult to determine what
share of the customs duties she should
receive. In this country public senti-
ment favors the annexation of Canada as
the best solution of the problem.
The time is coming when electricity
produced by water power at Great Falls
may provide light and motive power
many miles away. The Denver Republic
can says: SIN New Zealand, electric
power has been in use for three years.
and it is reported that the results are en-
tirely satisfactory. Power is there trans.
mitted over wire for distance of three
miles, and is utilized to run stamp mill,
and is said to be about half the cost of
steam. Electricians have given great at
tention to the problems connected. with
the transmission of power, and they de-
clare that there is no necessary difficulty
in it, and that where water power can be
utilized as the initial power it is much
cheaper than steam. The fact is pointed
out that in Paris an immense electric
power is utilized and distributed through
out the city, and that many manufactures
are now run entirely by such power,
which is sent out from central station
just as electric lights are now distributed.
1t is no longer an experiment. If there
be any considerable saving in it, why
should not the miners have the benefits?
There is scarcely a mining town or camp
in the state which could not have cen
trail station run by water power from
which cheap distribution could be
made. Why has it not been tried in Col
orado?"

We offer no apology for deyoting so much time

diseases DeneVtng that no condition of humanity
Is too wretched to merit the sympathy and best
services of the profession to which we belong
as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactOr to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP

Cheerful Mortuary Practices.

In one corner was an inclosure which
contained bushels upon bushels of human
bones, piled in heaps, bleaching and blis-
tering in the sun. A grave was being dug,
and we watched the process. The Indians
used crowbar aud machetc, scooping out
the loose earth with their hands. Pro-
ceeding lower down, they filed their
hemp fiber aprons with the dirt and
scrambled to the top with 1t. Now and
then the crowbar would enter something
with a cracking and tearing sound--pass
ing through "a skull. Then tho Indians
would take it out in their hands, examine
and comment upon it, and generally iden-
tify it rs having belonged to some friend
or ncighbor. If the bones belonging with
it were easily obtainable they lifted them
out respectfully and laid thcm on the pile
i'll the charnel house.
1t seemed as if every skull in the yard
had once sat upon the shoulders of an
acquaintance, SO many did they identify
as part of the late Don Juan or Don Jose
"a lesson to somebody. One cadaver was
brought up--that Of a woman--on the
bones of which flesh still adhered, dried
like mummy. Why in heavens name,
when there is so much unoccupied space
all over the country. they continue piling
dead people on top of each other, from
generation to generation. none can tell,
but such seems to be the UNIVERSAL GUS

Eace md Mental Diseasc.

/ In an article entitled "Race and In

lnal Of Insanity, Drs. Bannistor and HEX
itoen, physicians Of the Illinois eastern
hospital for the insane, express the opin :
ion that there Is little doubt but that
insanity is influenced by race. From tho
statistics Of three institutions in which
insane persons are treated they draw the
following conclusions: ]. That In the
white race the Oppressive types of mental
disease are most frequent in the Germanic
and Scandinavian peoples, and least so in

A sad effect of the increased armaments
Of continental Europe is to be found in
the scarcity of farm hands to prepare and
handle the crops. Tho consequence is
that the field work Is mostly dono now by

healthy occupation for woman, but the
Iplowing and reaping are too onerous. and
