Sam. T. Clover will devote his rare
literary talent to the columns Of the
Chicago Herald instead of burying it
in consulate napkin. 'Tis we'll, for
almost anybody can fill consulship,
while good ewspaper men are born
not made. We would take the liberty
of suggesting to the versatile humor-
ist of the Chicago News that this
Glover Patch is more than likely to
come up into equal prominence with
his Field-that is Eugene, as time goes
on and opportunity develops.

At the Sabbath observance meeting
Friday evening, several OF the city
pastors took occasion TO renew their
assaults on Sunday newspapers, and
although they admitted the REpuBLI-
CAN did not amount to much, being the
nearest at hand it came in for its share
of criticism, even to the extent ot q
threatened boycott in the matter OF
pastoral patronage. The REPuBLI-
CAN has no desire to question the sim
ceritY of the position OF these gentle
men, but their consistency is opeE 10
serious doubt; for if q newspaper Gins
on Sunday the odiurn OF its transgtas-
sion must of necessity extend over the
rest of the week, else our theology Is
at fault. And to refuse to allow the
publication OF church notices on Sun
day morning, and yet to ask space for
them the day before is akin to whip
ping the devil around the stump in
most transparent fashion. The RE
PUBLICAN, being primarily, newspa-
per and but incidentally a reformatlVe
agency, will cheerful!g take the full
burden on its conscience OF printing
each Sunday morning announcements
of church services, leaving the church
/ going public to judge whether those
services are Of sufficient general value
to warrant newspaper in calling at,
{ tention to them in its regular business
of giving the news. The REPUBLICAN
will also, in its own feeble way, con
tinue to aid in helping the good cause
by granting the tree use of It's columns
to matters of general interest in con
nection with the churches, and VII
probably respond i'll the future as Y
has in the past to the frequent calls OF
Its time and its purse toward the u.'
building of the kingdom here upos
earth.
\ The REPUBLICAN may not be strlctl,
orthodox, it may even bepositlvely sin
full in its tendencies, but its endeaVo
\ shall ever be not to become narrow o

recent cow entiOn of h farmers held

When it to hearty support of
measures which the alliance may agree
upon, it Is certain that the knights will
be quite AS loyal as the farmers i'm fight

the representatives of the farming ele-
ment of the country had an active or
ganization that might easily have
turned politics in the northern states
and those Of the middle West.
When the greenback question
was up, the grangers failed to

Iowa and Illinois, but in a memorable

AS TO REAL ESTATE.

Probably the wideawake communi-
ties here and there in Montana that are
marking up n price of corner lots i'm
view of the numerous copper refining
plants to be scattered about by the
Anaconda company, will pause in their
wild real estate career long enough to
find out whether h company is going
to have anything to refine in the imme-
date future. 1t might influence the
upward movement of prices in all these
hopeful towns if circumstances over
which nobody has control should hap
pen to postpone h building of a refin-
ing works.
So far as west side towns in Montana
are concerned, their condition WAS
never more thrifty, and it il not prob
able that their healthful growth will be
checked by any passing accident.
Butte's active real estate market has
abundant warrant in the untold wealth
that lies back of the city, and it will be
. wonder IL that thriving city ever sees
a return to figures On real estate that
have ruled in recent years. In ambi-
tious MissOula h market il moving at
a pace hat promises activity for a good
while to come. Refinery or no refinery,
Missoula has the splendid surroundings
that always build up solid cities, and its
claims regarding future growth have
plenty of solid backing.
There never was any stir i'm real
estate dickering in this city. Anaconda
has advanced to its present liberal pro-
portions after a steady growth of six
years. During the past eighteen
months. no city in Montana has grown
more rapidly or in a more healthful
way. In point of equipment in the
way of water supply, electric lights,
drainage, schools, hotel facilities, natu-
raj attractions and healthful surround
ings, Anaconda is without a rival
among western towns, yet real estate
has never been tossed to high figures,
and mechanics engaged in n smelling
works have always been able to secure
. home ut an extremely modest figure.

The fact is that nothing can he done

that President Harrison made no men,
ton whatever of irrigation projects in
his message. The country is ignorant
