The Fireman.

For self sacrifice in the interest Of
public good, the voluntary fireman of
a city may reasonably be placed first
in the list. Take the hardship to
which fireman is subject, the dan
gers he encounters and the loss of
time, the broken nights sleep, the in
reference with pleasure and business,
and it is surprising that men are to be
found who will give their services
gratis year after year when the labor
is everything and the reward
nothing. The fire companies of Waco
which stand first in the state for eff
ficlency and skill have been fighting
theft fiend since Waco was q viii
lage, and some of the companies have
grown gray in the service. The his
tory of their labors would be replets
with accounts discomforts sustained,
hard work, great risks and-no pay.
Reward they have neither expected
nor sought, what has been done, has
been done voluntarily, and more than
that. Waco firemen have frequently
paid money out of their own pockets
for the necessary expences of the de-
partment. The least that the public,
whose lives aud property have for
two decades been faithfully watched
over with assiduous care by these
firemen, is whenever occasion offers,
to manifest appreciation of tho noble,
self-sacrificlng and voluntary efforts
to which they owe so much. Such
An occasion is present to-day. The
firemens' ball tonight is for the bene-
fit of the firemen, and the purchase Of
tickets for the ball should be made
ungrudgingly, unsparingly and by
hundreds. During the Christmas
holidays, friendship, respect and love
take the very pretty form of simple
gifts, and no more becoming appre-
citation of the faithful services of the
firemen could be made, than the pur-
chase of tickets to their ball. To
make the ball big success would be
a slight but pleasing acknowledge
ment of services that many could
only partially repay even if given in
good round sums

ton with Duluth interests than with
those of Chicago. Itruns to the opposite
end of Lake Superior, and only the con-
solidation of the Duluth, South Shore &
Atlantic under the same management can
bring Duluth into the question at all. In
us far as she may be interested, these
cities have no quarrel with her. They
believe that Duluth will be great city.
They say to her, go on and prosper.
Make the most of your splendid natural
advantages, fulfill your destiny as the
great lake port Of the northwest, and you
shall have a free field and fair play. The
position and the future of st. Paul and
Minneapolis is too well assured to incline
them to listen to the prayer of Chicago
for combination against the northern
routes. For the same reason the eXhor-
tation of Mr.. Nimmo will fall on deaf
ears. The senate has already shown its
opinion of the plan to regulate national
commerce in the special interest Of Chi
cago by RELOCATING Mr.. Cullom's sugges-
tlon to obscurity. Those who have no.
ton that they can use congress to so leg
islate concerning the transportation in
terests of this country as to confer upon
Chicago that monopoly Of the trade inter-
ests of the west and northwest which
these cities have wrested from her might
as well give it up. 1t will never be pop
ular, and it won't work. ..

1t will soon be possible to be able to
speak with almost absolute accuracy as
to whether the crops will be good or bad.
Bdvices from st. Paul state that crop re
ports have been 'rec@ived within day
or two from almost every part Of Mime
sofa and Dakota. Their general tenor is
not so favorable as the reports that came
in one week ago, although there are no
indications of general or widespread
damage from any cause. The weather
has been too hot in many sections, and
the heat coupled with heavy rains has
caused rust and blight. The rust has not
only attacked wheat at many new points,
but the other small grains are suffering
from it. Chince bugs are reported in a
few sections, and the army worm has
made its appearance at two Or three
points. Of course the extent of the dam
ages from these causes cannot at present
be estimated, but it is believed that there
will still be left more than an average
crop for the harvest" About an average
crop is expected on the Manitoba line
and the same is predicted for the North
cru Pacific region. Considering the
gloomy reports that were current month
ago, the present situation must be deem
ed good. .-....m mm.

THE SISTER REPUBLIC.

General Diaz will soon enter on his
second successive term as the president
of Mexico. He was elected like Wash
ington-without opposition-and will re-
main in power with the hearty approval
of the entire country. Since he first be
came president of Mexico in 1876 that
country has enjoyed domestic peace. As
the result of that tranquility the public
wealth has increased and every interest
enjoys prosperity. The railroad progress
has been the most remarkable of all. In
the Diaz era, the City Of Mexico has been
placed in direct communication with the
United States by the broad guage trunk
line, which traverses the country for
HOO miles to the northern terminus at
El Paso, where it connects with the
American system. The completion Of
that road has been followed by the con
struction of branch to Guadalajara, in
the rich state of Jalisco, which is thus
rendered easy of access to people in quest
of mines. of tropical woods Or of wonder
scenery. Another railroad of recent con-
struction runs from the Huntington sys-
tenn at Eagle Pass to the Mexican Central
and may in in time be extended to the
coast The missing link in the Mexican
National will likewise be completed this
year, SO that the republic will be provid-
ed with a second trunk line from the
United States to the capital.
These important enterprises will in due
time be supplemented by a transconti-
mental railroad from Vera Cruz, on the
Atlantic coast, to some other port on the
Pacific. Mr.. Sanchez, who was recently
in Chicago, announces that he has raised
$1OOO00O0 for this purpose in London
and will proceed to complete the gaps
which exist between the lines already
constructed on that route. This road
will be to Mexico what the Union Pacific
is to this country. It will serve to deyel-
OPP her resources and at the same time
provide highway for the products of
China and India on their way to Europe
or parts of our own country.
This railrond progress has been accom-.
panied by the revival of the national cred
it, by the suppression of highway robber-
les and by large increase in the import
and and export trade Of the republic. A
sound reciprocity treaty is alone needed
to extend that trade with this country and
thus bring the two republics into closer
commercial and financial relations.
When that important measure is accom-
plished Montana may exchange her silver
and gold for the coffee and tropical
products of Mexico with mutual advant-
age to all concerned.

The racing at Butte on the second day
was interesting and spirited. In the trot-
ting race the California horse, D. K. W.,
won the two first heats, but Montana en-
durance soon made itself felt when Fan
TASTE won the next three heats in grand
style, making better time than the Cali
fornian. In the next race that north Mon
tana favorite, Daniel B., made gallant
run, but was defeated by Repetta, who
thus regained the reputation lost on the
previous day. The Helena boys appeared
to be dropping money freely at the pools
expecting, no doubt, harvest when the
Butte sports come to Helena next week.

THE BELT MOUNTAIN BRANCH.

We publish today the gratifying in
formation that the Montana Central rail
road has decided to build a branch line
to the Belt mountains from Great Falls
and that the road will be completed this
fall to point convenient to Neihart and
Barker, into which camps 1t will be COM
pleted early next spring. This informa-
ton comes direct from St. Paul to the
Tribune from Mr.. Gibson, who was prob
ably the happiest man in the Twin Cities
about the time he wrote the telegram, for
this is one of the enterprises in which he
has always been deeply interested. No
one values more highly the mineral
wealth of the Belt mountains than Mr..
Gibson and he has always held that such
a connection would be of the highest i'm
portance to Great Falls.
This means new era for the Belt
mountains mineral region-an era of
great prosperity-in which the whole of
Northern Montana will share to some ex
tent. Great Falls, which will be the
smelling and supply point for the entire
region, will be in a special way benefited.
No other project in present contempla-
ton is SO important and the good effects
will at once be felt here. With an i'm
mense smelling plant here to reduce the
ores, the Great Falls and Belt mountains
branch is certain to be a paying one from
the start, and it will add vastly to the
wealth and resources of Great Falls and
Cascade county.

Chicago is very sensitive when her OK
is gored. The opening of new northern
routes to the seaboard excites her jeal-
ousy, for she would have Montana and all
other northwestern commonwealth pay
toll to her railroads. She says in effect to
St. Paul and Minneapolis that Duluth
will Guido them if they fail to foster the
Chicago route. The st. Paul Pioneer
Press answers back in this fashion: "As
far as these cities are concerned, the APP
peal of Chicago that St. Paul and Minne~
apolis adopt toward Duluth the policy Of
Jealousy, hatred and determination to in
jure her business interests which has
characterized the attitude of Chicago to-
ward st. Paul and Minneapolis, is vain
one. In the first place, the $500" line,

Sheridan, like the others, was obscure
at the outbreak Of the war. Little more
was known of him than that he was born
Of Irish parents in Ohio; and was grad
uated at West Point, whence he was
transferred to the regular army. But the
mighty conflict which extended from
Virginia to Texas soon developed his
martial qualities His merits were
promptly discerned. At a critical stage
in the war he was chosen to confront
EARLY, who was threatening Washington
and came near taking that city. He held
that daring commander in check and thus
left Grant at liberty to advance on Rich
mond while Sherman performed that
march to the sea which.won him immor-
tai fame. Without such cooperation
Grant might have been placed in posi-
ton like that of Napoleon in 1914, whose
foes swarmed in the rear while he adj
vanced to confront them. In October,
1864, Sheridan's campaign eliminated IN
that memorable affair at Cedar
Creek, where, for a moment, all his
work seemed likely to be undone by the
successful onslaught which Early had
made on the union troops. Sheridan,
who heard the firing at Winchester, rode
madly to the battlefield. Waving his hat
he cried to the routed troops: "Turn,
boys, turn; we're going back" The
effect was electrical. The soldier rallied
and with Sheridan at their head, they
sent EARLY whirling up the valley. Re-
luctantly, but as a measure of defense,
Sheridan then laid waste the valley, rem
dering it impossible for any hostile force
to made q Judgement there.
His success in the Shenandoah valley
enabled Sheridan to take part in the OPP
erations around Richmond, which cul-
minated in the surrender of Lee.
Since the war Sheridan bora with mod
esty the honors which were showered on
him. He married at Chicago the woman
who has been so devoted to him. The
people Of that city presented him with a
house. He succeeded Sherman in com
mand of the army and held the rank of
lieutenant general until recently, when
congress, as a special mark of distinction,
created for him the rank of general.
His last days have been soothed by the
presence of brave comrades and by the
grateful sympathy of the American peo-
pie, who might say of him as was SAID of
the great dramatist and orator:
Nature could form but one such man
And broke the die in moulding Sheridan.
