The news that Montana cities and
towns which gave large Republican
majoritles for the first and ouly time
last fall are giving Democratic major
tiles this spring, will arouse suspicion
that the election of Republican dele
gate in November was part of a shrewd
little game played on the Republicans
in Congress to get Montana admitted
az a State. Montana had been steadi-
ly Democratic by large majority I'M
til last fall, when the unexpected APP
pearance of majority on tie Republi-
can secured her admission with Wash
ington and the two Dakotas. Instead
of securing the eight Senators from the
four new States, the Republicans will
have to fight for half of them, with a
good chance of losing all while they
are maneuvering to build up victOri'
GUS high tariff party in the South.

Hungry Republicans throughout the

appetites known SIS rapidly as circum-
stances will allow. For three or four
months past petitions have flown from
county to county, and from town L.

prospective officials who will be in
need of deputies are r, cipients of deg
ems of applicants for each position to be
disposed of. The land Office at IrontUn
is being fought for, and among the APP
plicants who have filed papers for the
receivership is ex-Boss John Rushin of
this county and Editor Crumb of the
late Poplar Bluff Republic. For Dep
uty Revenue Collector there are sever
al applicants, among others John A.
Rhodes of this locality and Fred Rage
of Cape Girardeau. The latter has
applied to Freeman Barnum, the pres
ent Collector, a Democrat, for the
position, soon to be made vacant by
the resignation of Sherwood. He will
probably get it, and hopes then to
have "pull" on whomsoever Harri-
son may appoint in Mr.. Barnum's

The st. Francois county "White
Cape" drove the foreign-born workmen
out of the quarries at Syenite, last
week, and now Mr.. Allen, the owner
of the quarries, has concluded to close
them up. AS he had been paying out
some $1,000 monthly, to operatives.
this White Cap success is more COM
pl etc than satisfactory. But, then,
they have succeeded in "driving out
the foreigners"-and at the same time
giving them a fine specimen of Amerl-
can freedom and justice! Fellow-citi-

A dumb woman is one of the best
fishermen on the island, owning and
managing a small schooner, of which
she is the captain, and, with the as.
~sistance of a huge black Newfoundland
dog and a gray kitten, crew. She
knows all the best feeding grounds
and is almost the only Vineyarder who
has had good luck with her lobster
pots this summer. She lives alone
aboard her schooner and seldom sets
foot ashore. They say hereabouts
that when she was a young woman
she shipped as a cook on a whalet
once and nobody discovered her SEA
until she returned home. She is not q
V~ineyarder born and bred, but comes
from somewhere down the coast OF
Maine.
The morning l saw her first she was
pulling a dory toward the beach in
search of salt pork and crackers at the
country store. Her skin was tanned
by exposure of the weather, and the
coil OF dark hair at the back OF he,
neck was the only indication of her
sex visible, rough fishermen's boot
and trousers forming part of her ap
parel. Her eyes were bright, and her
face not wholly u~nattractive.
