SLEEPING AND UNCoNscIoUs.

About 8 O'Clock DIR. Barker entered the
house and a few minutes later two burly
porters from the Hoffman house ran up
the stairs and were ushered into the Conk.
ling residence. This incident caused some
excitement among the watchers, who ia.
ferred that Conkling had become uncon-
trollable and that men had been sum
moned to hold him. DR.. Barker remained
half an hour. When he emerged, he said to
the reporters, ''Mr, Conkling is no worse
but a shade better Than at this time last
night. He has not been in d state OF coma
or even in a stupor as was reported. Early
this evening he expressed a desire for a
mint luiep and he seemed to enjoy the
drink immensely. | merely called the
porters in to hold Mr.. Conkling down
should he be violent during the night,
although there are no positive indications
now that he will become excited"

IT'S MEMORY is POOR.

Not a word has the Inter Mountain to
say as to the authorship Of that article
in the Mining Journal of two years ago,
which was reproduced by it during the
last spring election about which inquiry
was yesterday made. 1t was violently
abusive Of such sterling Republicans as
DIR. Gleason, Chairman Pinkham, DR..
Sarchet and many others. These gentle
men and hundreds more read it in the
Mining Journal and knew whom to thank
for its authorship. The Inter Mountain
may retain some recollection on the sub
ject or it may not. 1t has a very con-
yenient, elastic memory when it comes
to remembering such things. It was
limited that the fertile brain Of one Of the
moving spirits In the Inter Mountain
conceived the y%irulently spiteful attack
on the "demagogues," "shysters,'
''place-hunters" political jackals" Of
the Republican party, as the gentlemen
were termed whe presumed to differ with
the writer of the diatribe in his effort to
boss the party. 1t is evident, from the
Inter Mountains reticence, that the art
icle in question is a sore subject with it
which 1t cannot discuss with its usual
freedom. Perhaps the gentleman who
wrote it figures on bossing the party at
the coming spring election in the same
way that he tried to two years ago. Per-
haps ne figures on escaping the Waterloo
that befell him then, and that the re-
spectacle element of the Republican
party are disposed to bury the Ratchet
and accept his dictation now. But il so
ne can rest assured that the gentlemen
scored behind the shelter of the Min
ing Journal have a distinct recollection
the article in question and the ridicu-
Gus attitude in which it attempted to
them. They have also a very good
dea as to who its author was. One Of
ihese gentlemen was heard to remark
cry recently that it was only a short
until the rank and file Of the Re-
'ubllcan party will have to read the Inter
fountain such another lesson as that of
couple of years ago which it seems in
anger OF forgetting. There may be a c
obedience about this and there NAV
ot. Events will show.

The news from Conkling's sick room is
reassuring again. The unfayorable symp-
toms that gave his friends SO much
alarm and over which they apparently
lost heart have given way before the in
nate vitality of the man and others be-
sides the doctors have been treasured. 1t
is a great relief to the country that there
are strong hopes his life and usefulness
will yet be spared to the nation.

Views ON the Snhiact.

Independent, April IL: One OF the most
prominent men in Montana-and a leading
capitalism discussing the tariff question
yesterday with a party OF gentlemen at the
Grand Central Hotel, remarked that if the
Mills tariff bill was passed by Congress,
with the free wool clause in it, he would at
once invest every dollar he had in sheep
here in Montana. why he asserted,
''this talk about the bill i~niuring Montana
wool growers is all bosh. 1t wont do any
thing OF the kind. 1t will result in making
Montana the great center OF the wool trade
OF the world. 1t will drive all the sheep
into the Territories, where there is free
grass and ample range.
EASTERN SHEEP GROWERS,
who have to feed for at least eight months
out OF the year, could not compete with the
growers under these conditions.
Besides they could not afford to give up
land, worth $50 to Shopper acre, for sheep
pasturage. As a natural result they would
be gradually frozen out, and the men who
had control oil the free grass countries
would be able to dictate terms in the mar
ket. Taking into consideration the fact
Montana mutton commands
A HIGHER PRICE
than the product of any other section, and
that Eastern competition would be practi.
;ally abolished in the East. leaving the free
men in a position where they could
prices, l cannot see how the Mills
Nll would injure the Montana wool grow
'rs. Its passage would result in actual
benefit. The effect might not be observed
1t once; but within a year the truth of nv
would be verified. If one will
top to
L THE PROBLEM
arefully be can come to other conclusion.
Then, aside from the pecuniary considera-
that would induce me to 60 into the
BUSINESS, there is another thing that infu-
noes me to favor the free wool clause. The
nasses would be greatly benefited by bein
BILE to buy cheaper clothing. Money
'ould be saved to them, and the sheep
lowers would still be in a position to
maintain prices and reap as much profit, if
OF more, as they do now"

WORSE SYMPTOMS.

AS the day wore on Conkling's nervous-
ness and twitching of the muscles became
more pronounced. A stateo OF partial coma
was the next development and then he lost
power to resist the doctors effor s to feed
him and dress his wound. Shortly after
7:3O this evening he sank into a sleep, which
was more a state of stupor thar sleep. Not
for q single moment was he rational this
afternoon and his mind was filled with
recollections OF great lawsuits and political
campaigns in which he had been a leading
figure. From 3 o'clock to 8 many callers
left their cards, but no word CAME rom the
sick room other than that Cenkling was

Teton .iasin in Wyoming, in the Big Horn
Mountains, the rendezvous of his gang. Te-

all that we hoped of from the present adj
m~inistration, we have yet more than we ex-
pected. We have compelled a discussion OF
the question and have SO much faith in
the good sense of the American people as to
feel sure that discussion means victory.
Two great questions have been opened
anew by the President which really resolve
themselves into one, that OF war tariff. l
say OF war tariff, because it is a mere cleo
pioneering device to call it a question of
free trade or protection, pure and simple.
The advocates OF protection have been un-
wise in shifting the ground OF debate. They
have set many people to asking whether
robbing Peter to pay Paul is a method
equally economical for both parties. The
tendency OF excessive protection, which
thoughtful men dread most, is that it slim
ulates unhealthy home competition, lead
ing to overproduction and disasters which
are it's tainted offspring. l cannot take a
cheerful view OF the future of New England
when her leading industries shall be gradu-
ally drawn to the south, as they will be by
the cheapness of labor.
