WHAT'S THE MATTER ?

"The county republican committee Of
the several counties Except Cascade) will
proceed to call county conventions in
their respective counties and elect dele.
gates and alternate delegates to the ter
ritorial convention as above designated" :"
The above is taken from the Territor.
ial Republican call signed by Dennis Nc
Cutcheon for the convention which is to
be held in Helena on the 18th of Sep.
tember. The natural query is, "What's
the matter with Cascade ?" Is she not
entitled to hold convention as well as
the other counties, or Is it because the
willy chairman, the affable Dennis cannot
control her delegation
Our assertion 10 the effect that
Dennis and few other astute politicians
in the Republican party intended to run
the Helena convention is seemingly
verified at least month before we ex.
pected them to be. Some claim that the
Republican who holds the reins in Cas-.
cade county is an Andrew Burleigh man
and it is not on the programme for Andy
to be nominated. But we will see what
we will see. The boasted harmony o.
the Republican party in this territory
We again assert does not assay right ur
to its reported value 1t is very evident
that there is fun ahead.

A SPLENDID EXHIBIT.

1t was wise thought that suggested
that the citizens of Bozeman unite in
making up a purse to be awarded for the
best samples of grain and grasses raised
in this valley, aud while the response
has not been as general as it should have
been, yet the committee who got up This
exhibit have no reason to feel that the
Gallatin valleys products will not be re-
cognized at the great fairs in America
and Europe and obtain position with
the very best. The money invested in the
project has been well invested and the
people of this valley will have reason to
be thankful that they spent little
of their valuable time in preparing this
exhibit. Strangers in the city who were
attracted to the rooms where the samples
were received were astounded at the
height of the oats and wheat, the size OF
vegetables and many other facts that
were before their eyes Newspaper
articles could never have created the
SINE interest, no matter how often the
facts were reiterated, the tall and heavy
straw weighed down with heavy kernals
were before their eyes and none can
gainsay the fact TINT the Gallatin is the
Egypt of America.

Campaign editorial in an East Tennes-
see paper: "The enemies of Capt George
Hicks, our most prominent candidate
for Sheriff, maliciously assert that he is
Prohibitionist. This is the blackest
and most uncalled- for SANDER Of the cam
paign. We have known the Captain
several years, and have positive proof
that he is not Prohibitionist, and in
proof of this assertion-which we do not
make without mature deliberation-we
submit the following facts: On the
night of May 10th the Captain got 80
drunk over at Frazier Point that he had
to be taken home in wagon. The next
day, in the presence of some of our most
prominent citizens, he was seen to drink
cocktail. Four days later he got drunk
at Miller's Landing and fell into the riy'
er. This cannot be successfully disputed
for the feat was witnessed by the County
Judge and number of our prominent
citizens. Since then the Captain hal
been liberal drinker, and we dare any
black.hearted seoundrel in this county
to come forward and attempts refutatioI
of these facts. We do not object to oper
and manly opposition, bnt we despise
the sneaking and underhanded way EN-.
ployed by certain disreputable politicians
of this community"

The latest "trustn is that of the East.

The latest trust" is that of the East
ern advertising agents. These firms. or
the largest of them, have formed COM
bination, and thev now propose to
divide their profits equally. For seye-
raj years the advertising agents of the
East have been doing pretty much as
they pleased in the way of granting a
mere nominal compensation to the
country papers that would receive their
advertisements, and it is safe to say that
they have often received gratuitous SER
vice from some luckless individual who
used the matter to "fill up" with. In
Montana the publishers have very little
to do with Eastern advertising agents
and hence this trust" will not affect
them to any great extent; but it might
be well for the members of the Mon.
tana Press Association, and they com
pose the majority of publishers in thii
territory. to form a little "trust' of theil
own and obligate themselves not to re
ceive an advertisement from an Eastern
agent at less than regular rates. Thil
would be fighting the enemy with tht
same kind of ammunition that they use
and would be decidedly advantageous t.
the Montana publisher. The Eastern
advertising agent will have to give hi
advertising patrons Montana service, ant
Montana publishers ought to be the firs
to make him pay for it. 1t could be &C
complished here more readily than IL
any other place in the United States.

Digging Potatoes.

Potatoes should be dug as soon as the
tops have fairly ripened and died down.
They make but little growth after that,
and what they do make Is at the expense
of their eating quality. If the cellar is
dark and cool they may be stored for
winter use, and will keep in much better
condition there than remaining in the
ground. If the cellar is unfit to keep
them in during the fall months they may
be kept in pit in the ground, taking
care that the pit is 80 located as to be
cool, and that no water can enter into it
either from above or below. The sides
of the pit should be lined with straw. 1t
is needless to say that the potatoes
shonld be dry and free from sny adher.
ing soil before putting in the pit, and
that any which have signs of decay
should be carefully kept out.
When convenient to market it may be
less laborious and quite as profitable to
market them as soon as dry. There is a
shrinkage in weight after few months
storing, as well as risk of loss from le.
cay, which, with the labor of handling,
will usually counterbalance the gain of
higher prices later in the season. This
is applicable to other crops besides the
potato, and, as general rule, the best
time for the farmer to take his goods to
market is as soon as they are in mar.
ketable condition. To store them for
higher prices makes him but speculator
upon small scale, and, like all small
speculators and gamblers, he is at dis
advantage when compared with those
who understand the game better than he,
and who have all the advantage of larger
capital. That farmer sometimes gains
by holding crop is as true as that in
experienced persons sometimes hold a
winning hand at cards or draw prize in
a lottery but where one wins hundreds

Senator Vance turned stream of
bright humor into the Senate Monday,
when he made speech in favor of the
fisheries treaty This is the way he puts
the Republican opposition to the treaty !:
"All at once it seemed as if, while the
Republicans were iourneying to Damas-
Gus, great light shone round about
them, and voice was heard saying,
Why will You not raise row against
Great Britain and get the Irish vote p
Whereupon they answered, Lord, what
wouldst Thou have us to doP' And the
voice again said, Get thee to place
called caucus, and there it shall be told
thee what to do And so they assem-
bled in that upper chamber, and there
the voice was again made manifest, and
they were told that their only chance
whereby they might be saved was to
raise row with Great Britain appeal to
the Irish vote in this country, and to the
votes of all others whose preiudices
against that country can be made avail.
able in the coming campaign. And that
was the course adopted"

AS TO ADMISSION

Occasionally word is brought to Mon
tana from Washington to the effect that
Congress has taken up the matter of the
admission of the territories and there is
a long lapse of time before the matter is
mentioned again, TO US from this dis
tance it looks verv much as if there is no
possibility of ANYTHING being accomplish
ed in this line during the present session
of Congress as Democratic Congressman
are apathetic and the Republicans are
bitterly opposed to any plan which
might effect the outcome Of the Presi-
dental election. Montana will have to
wait and be compelled to listen to that
time worn expression so popular with
political speakers, SIN view of the near
admission of this territory into the
union of states" as it has done for wears
past. with no immediate prospect of the
admission being any nearer" than it
was. The Pioneer.Press correspondent
at Washington has the following to gay
regarding the matter:
Up to date the net result has been as
follows: The house has reported and
placed upon the calander an omnibus bill
to admit Washington, Dakota, Montana
and New Mexico and has not disturbed
the bill for three months The senate
Committee has reported three bills, for
the admission of South and North d.
kota and Washington Territory, declin-
ing to do anything for New Mexico. The
senate has passed the bill for the admis-
sion South Dakota 1t is considering
| that for the admission OF Washington
Territory and has the North Dakota bill
| still on the calandar. 1t is safe to say
that the legislation will stop about there.
The effect of the passing of the house
omnibus bill, which will be the ultimate
legislation enacted ehould the Democrats
retain control of the house, will be to
diminish the number of territories from
nine to five. 1t will give the power OF
selfgovernment to over one million of
people. 1t will add over 225, 1000 to the
voting population in presidential wears
and will place six new congressman in
congress and will increase the number Of
new senators by eight There will he
fourteen electoriol votes to be contested
for IN presidential year it will take
from future administrations twenty-five
appointments worth 81 800 to So 600 pei
year each, and willsave the government
in the pay of these officials $67 600 pei
year. In addition to this the govern
mont will be saved the amount it is now
compelled to appropriate biennially fol
the support of the territorial government
and the meeting of the territorial legisla.
ture. The admission of these territories
will not only save the government oyel
100000 per annum, but large number
of political prizes which have at the be
ginning of each new administration
started stalwart pilgrimage of Eastern
politicians toward the setting sun, Will be
wiped out forever.

We allude with more than ordinary
pride to the letters from Red Bluff which
now appear in our columns and will ap-
pear until the subiec. is exhausted. We
need not say that they are written bv a
master.hand, a person who understands
his subject and is able to see that Red
Bluff district is bound to be one of the
very best mining localities in Montana.
Owing to the extra demand for papers
last week containing the initial article,
we have none of that issue left, but q
larger edition is being published this
week and will be as long as "Bs" letters
appear. 1t must be satisfaction for the
people of Bozeman to read these intel.
ligent letters from careful observer,
who has verified their highest expecta
tions of this tributary camp.
