1.-THE PLOT
A "World" Representative Only Thiekens the
Fog.

NEW YoRK, May 10. In view of the fact
that in spite of Blaine's Florence letter State
delegations to the Chicago Convention are
being instructed to vote for Blalne's nomi'
nation, the World on Tuesday last instructed
L. Crawford, its London representative, to
| visit Blaine in Paris and to secure an answer
to the question whether If nomina ted Blaine
would accept. Crawford has been in former
! years an intimate personal f,iend of Blaine
| and was received by him with much cordial
ity. He was accorded several interviews by
| Mr.. Blaine, and in a cable to the World to-
night, an authorized statement, he says: 81
have seen Blaine several times within the
last three days, generally surrounded by his
family. As regards the first question,
whether he would accept, it can be said Mr..
Blaine adberes to his Florence letter, and
does not withdraw one word of his interview
last February in Florence. l have no au-
thority to say more than that, as Mr.. Blaine
did not wish to he interviewed again on this
subject. His Florence interview was 80
explicit that the fact that he has nothing to
add to it in way of qualification should be
enough to satisfy the most doubtful of Mr..
Blaine's enemies as to his future intentions.
His declarations at Florence correctly repre-
sent his present state of mind. Those who
associate with Mr.. Blaine have no doubt
of his absolute good faith in Withdrawing.
"Crawford" adds: "Mr. Blaine will leave
for England in q few days and expects to
reach London in the neighborhood Of the
First of June, to join Andrew Carnegie's
coaching trip into Scotland. He will prob
ably sail for home long before the campaign
begins, ready to take hold and assist the
nominee of the Chicago Convention. At the
he will be on C%arnegie's coach approaching
the extreme north of Scotland, beyond the
range of ordinary telegraphic communiea-
ton"
Of his health Mr.. Crawford says: SIT needs
no medical expert to pass. upon the bright
clear look of his eyes. His good color and
vigor are shown in every Que of his move
ments. He has to-day the hearth that comes
to a man as reward for q life of simple hab-
its and tastes"
The World, in Al editorial on this subject,
calls attention to the fact that no statement
of assent is authorized by Mr.. Blaine; that
he might have dissipated the doubts about
his candidacy with five words, but that he
carefully and studiously refuses to refuse
the nomination or say that the movement In
that direction is without his approval"

The River Press states that the northern
reservation just opened for settlement can
not be taken up under the desert land or
timber culture acts, and can only be &C.
quired under homestead and pre-emption
entry. It adds: '.Since the opening of the
Indian reservation it has been ascertained
that the present boundaries Of the immense
military reservation surrounding Fort ASSN
nsboine are to be maintained-how long no
n in this section can surmise. Strong
efforts have been made to have it cut down
and allow settlers to occupy the splendid
hay, timber and coal lands it covers. This
reservation 1t present embraces about eight
hundred and fifty-ive square miles, and reg
ularly laid out to take in choice hay, timber
and other lands" The Fort Benton Board
Of Trade telegraphed Delegate Toole asking
him to use his influence 70 have this reser-
walton cut down, but received his reply that
nothing could be done to change the bound
aries at this time.

THE NEW O R E
Abolition of Slavery in Brazil.

NEW YORK, May 19:-The following par
~ticulars of the new law abolishing slavery in
Brazil have been received: All emancipated
negroes now or coffee plantations are re.
ouired to remain there until the next coffee
crop is gathered, but in the meantime they

new world, the Pope has sem . golden rose

It is also stated that An effort will be made
to. put 1t over this term Of Congress. His

that have delayed bis confirmation.

NOTWITHSTANDING the opposition Of
Delegate Toole the House on monday sus-
pended the rules and passed the Senate bill
granting right Of way through the Crow
Indian Reservation to the Billings, Clarke's
Fork and Cooke City railroad by 112 ayes to
40 noes. The city Of Billings had : grand
Jubilee on receipt Of the news, and tele-
graphed the President asking his favorable
action on the bill.
IT is reported the Northern Pacific has
given orders for and will soon have ''vesti-
bule trains'' on It's road. On no road would
their advantages be greater or more appre-
ciated. Traversing long distances between
stations, crossing mountains and valleys Of
radically different temperature, storm-beaten
and sun-burned alternately, the "~vestibule"
added to their "dining car" service would be
. very great benefit and make it the most
enjoyable Of the transconttnental lines.

Much Of the apathy toward the movement
is due to the location being At New York
instead of Washington, and the New York
idea is to secure the location and let the rest
of the country put up the money. However,
1t took nearly forty years to erect the Wash
ington monument and then half its cost was
finally contributed by Congress. There is
hope for the Grant monument yet.

Anaconda. If it was named after the com
mander of the Army of the Potomac it needs
. final "e"-George Gordon Meade.
Cablegrams have been sent from New
York to London and answers received in

Andrew Carnegie and a party Of friends
sailed from New York for Bremen on the
ems" Tuesday. They will meet Blaine
there and take that much talked of coach
trip through Scotland. In the political
sense Blaine does not need much ''coaching,'
but in any sense Carnegie is . good man to
give it to him.
There was for once a real, stand-up and
slug tito him prize fight in San Francisco
Monday night, between Joe McAulife, the
champion heavy weight of the Pacific Coast.
and Frank Glover, of Chicago, for q purse Of
s., 1850. 1t was hard hitting all the way
through, and after three and . half hours
fighting Glover was knocked out in the 49th
round. 1t is through occasional incidents
such as this that prize fighting hangs on to
the ragged edge of respectable sport.

characteristic attack on its editor by the

Independent says: .. -"
The Independent evidently has reference

person than whom never lived, and who
TO- resides in Ogden, but with the pusillan-
imous gump in the editorial chair, who takes
especial pleasure in slurring men who are

pensive? We understand the bill is yet

The St. Paul editor of the Helena paper
has called down upon himself the condem-
nation of the journalists of Montana by
Introducing a style of so-called journalism
in which even the most ardent supporters
of the paper can find no pleasure. 1t is
painful to see a journal which was in the
days of Editor Hendry mi of the boasts of
the territory, coming to that pass when its
columns are filed with the trashiest produc-
tions of the pen, and manufactured sensations.
While personal attacks on ~well-known and
respected men may bring a newspaper into
notoriety for a short time, such things fail
to interest the reading public and the seeker
after news and thoughtful opinions On ques-
tioDs of the day, turns with disgust from
a sheet filled With such stuff.-BiUings Ga

In the waiting room Of the Albemarle
Hotel at Livingston, on Saturday last, the
Yellowstone county delegation, consisting
Of Messrs. Tinker, Gogerty and Babcock,
took occasion to call upon Editor Esstin and
remind. him that he had maliciously misrep.
resented and lied about Col. Waters and
Committeeman Goddard. In the presence
Of a dozen witnesses Eastin was stigmatized
as the perpetrator of dirty and contemplate
falsehoods-a foul slanderer of honest and
reputable people of Yellowstone county.
Eastin took bis medicine meeklv, and with
blanched face and trembling legs dropped
limp into his chair, quite overcome by the
indignant and vehement onslaught. After
their righteous denunciation of the Mime
sofa importation the gentlemen withdrew,
leaving the terrified hirel;Dg to finish up the
so-called convention report to fit the chest
nutty caricature cuts used by the st. Panl
Globe a fortnight ago.-Helena Herald 22d.

Bur il is said that no such statement
as this can he true, as the PROSPERITY of
cur farmers and the general agricultural
interest has, under our high tariff, been
prosperous beyond all parallel in this
country, or in any country in any age.
But even If tins assertion were true IL
would not disprove the deductions | have
drawn above. It, would merely show
that farming is being pursued in this
country under circumstances and condi-
lions so extraordinarily favorable that IL
is more profitable than il has 'eVer been
before or elsewhere, notwithstanding the
enormous tariff taxes that have been
imposed upon it. But before assuming
any such remarkable and unprecedented
prosperity of the farming interest under
our high tariff, Let US examine the evil
dcncc we have aS to its truth.
The lowest tariff we have had since
the war Of l SIP was between 1886 and
! sol. and the highest tariff We have
ever had has been since 1861. The low
tariff uercd covers the whole decade
hcuwe N / $50 and 1850, and the high
tariff svcr> nearly the whole period
between 1860 and 1850. These two
periods are, therefore, the best in our
whole history to discover, by ar exam
nation and comparison OF statistics,
whether 10 any interest high tariff is
a blessing or curse. ct Us see what
effect a high tariff has had on agrl-
culture.
Agricultural wealth consists almost en-
tlreiy OF lands, including buildings, or
chards. etc. of agricultural implements
and machinery, and of live stock Now,
1T us see how the increase Of agricult-
ural wealth during the last two decades
compares with that between ] $50 aid
1860
The following tables show the esti
mated valnc of farms, agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS, and machinery in the hands
Of farmers. and the value of live stock
nj the time of taking each census since.
and including that of 1850:
