IN THE MILLIONS.

II the estimates which Thomas G..
Shearman Ia about to furnish to the
Forum are good for anything, there
are q few very rich mel in this cOun-
try. Taking the valuations lately re-
ported by the territorial governors and
assuming that Mr.. Shearman's figures
are accurate, 1t appears that John J.
Astor could own the territory of
Wyoming and nave forty millions left
for running expenses.
The Trinity church corporation in
New York City would need to borrow
only about S2O,OOO,OOO to buy the whole
of Montana, ON the basis Of Governor
Whites figures, which do not include
the mining property exempt from *
alton Of course, that property cuts
considerable figure in Montana's
wealth; but Trinity Church, two of the
Vanderbilts, J.. ID. Rockefeller, and
Mrs. Hetty Green could chip in enough
to buy the territory, railroads, mines
and all, and have quite a little fund for
prospecting work to boot w. X. Van
derbilt and the Packer estate could own
Idaho, MOrmons and all, and still have
snug millions left to put away for a
rainy day.
Any number of comparisons could he

AS TO THE COURT.

The Butte Inter Mountain is unduly
anxious to get into u controversy over
Judge DeWolfe's fitness to hear the
tunnel precinct case. This newspaper
has not felt called upon to speak i'm
praise or blame of h court. Demo-
Gratis i'm silver Bow county didn't want
to go into court in n first place, but
against their will. They propose now
to abide the event and they are not
"discussing" any Of the judges.
Two days ago we remember to have
read i'm the Inter Mountain hat 1.-THE
only thing for the democratic press to
do now il to abuse Judge DeWOlfe."
That was when the organ of the con-
spiracy thought itself q winner. We
do not notice that democracy has been
pouring any walls of wrath on the
courts head. We are still clinging to
the sentiment held at LAS o'clock Tues
day afternoon, October %. in the Office
of the Inter Mountain, when it re-
marked: up to the present writing the
Inter Mountain can cOnscientiOusly
endorse all the pleasant things that the
democratic press has said about Judge
UeWOlfe." That was the hour when
the conspiracy expected to get away
with the court OH t~echnicalities In
fact, last Tuesday will be recorded as
"Dewolfe day" i'm the Inter Mountain
office.
Grave results depend on the decision
to be rendered this morning, but the
STANDARD doesn't undertake to render
any assistance to n court in reaching
q decision. In fact, we assume that
Judge DE Wolfe understands his bust
ness and that the courts of Montana
can run right on without asking the
legal acumen pent mp i'm newspaper
offices to help them out.
While the Miner is bowling and shri-king
about republican fraud, democrats are trying To

KANSAS.
From an Unknown Author

From an unknown Author.
The hard times throughout the coun-
try the past few months and the general
depression of business in all branches
has tendency to create feeling of dis
satisfaction and unrest among the peo-
pie of the states further east, especially
among the better class of farmers, and
many faces will be turned westward
during the coming spring, in hope of
finding ''greener fields and pastures
new"
They need not look in vain.
Kansas, as ever, holds out her hands
and smiles a welcome to all.
She has yet many broad acres which
need but the touch of the husbandman
to make them bloom and blossom as the
rose.
True, her best lands are not to be had
now for the asking-that time has ire
trievably past-but good land can be OBJ
tanned for reasonable price, and COM
pensation for the outlay is attained in
having home in the land of flowers and
the birds and the flood of song"
Time was when Kansas would bow
her head and weep for her children at
the intimation of financial depression,
but now that they have grown tall and
strong and are confident of their own
strength, she knows no sorrow and
throws care to the wind.
The recent hard times have had no
terror for her and nothing less than a
famine, an earthquake or a cyclone
would cause her cheek to blanch.
She has met her troubles and is &C
quainted with grief, but she has con-
quered and ad aspara per aspara is her

CANADA'S 1888 GRAIN TRADE.

From Bradstreet's.
Although there are complaints of a
dull or quiet grain business in Canada,
there are some encouraging features in
the situation The president Of the To
ronto board of trade, in his annual re-
view. SAYS that 1.-The last harvest of Can
ada, though an irregular one, was much
more bounriful than that Of 1851. The
total yield of all field crops in the
province of Toronto last season was
143, S76, $50 bushels, obtained from
an acreage of SOB, 626, while
in 1887 the Weld was 109, $50. ei9
bushels from an acreage Of 4.s15. 500. an
increase in 1855 of q, o45. 6e2 bushels
over the harvest of the previous year
The only decrease in 1sss was II fall
wheat, which was 6o9. s24 bushels short
Of the yield in 1887, but the number of
acres sown for this wheat in 1883 also
decreased l.2ae The return for field
roots show q still more remarkable re-
suit, and in every case the aggregate
yield is higher than for seven years pre-
ceding. In 1sSs the total of all kinds Of

What to do with the Corn.
Washington Register.

! Washington Register.
! Twenty cent corn is the cheapest feed
ing power on earth. Foreign nations
will buy freely. The world will come
after such grain, and it will be seen in
all the parts where commerce floats. 1t
will be wasted to some extent, as it Is
only worth twenty cents. Less will be
planted next year, and less interest taken
in it, even should the season be as favor
able for raising as big a crop. 1t will
not stay at twenty cents we think. There
is so much profit in turning it into some
thing else. Everybody is looking at
twenty cent corn. The fact is corn can
not be raised year after year for twenty
cents.
When weget great crop, 1t is hun
bred pities that any poor man should be
compelled to take such price. 1t is a
signal of distress among farmers. We
have often tried to impress on farm
brethren that they should prepare to
feed all the corn on the farm. This is
generally intended, but to often
through the hog. He is a deceiver.
Never look on him altogether; keep him
in his place. Try the COW; depend on
her and her calf; they are healthy.
Strong nations rob weak ones, and
capital commands lalor. So the man
with nothing but a crib of corn
is feeble force: he can
not control the situation. His sum-
mer's work-his years living
is in the crib. His toll for the year. the
good year of 1888, gives him 1000 BUSH
els to sell. 1t is worth 80 cents bushel
in prime butter: that would give him
$500 and comfort, but he has no cows.
1t is worth 40 cents a bushel in pork;
that would give him $500 and all neces-
saries, but he has no hogs. He must
take what he gets; that Is 20 cents and
struggle for life.
Kansas suffers She can spare say
$4,000, 900 bushels at 90 cents and
get 100000. In prime butter
she would get $25, 900. In
selling horses, beef, mutton, wool or
the soil. 1t is bad for one to sell corn at
any price; it is very bad at 20 cents. 1t
is no use to tell people TO hold for 30
cents They can't. Corn is not being
sold for % cents by farmers who have
proper stock, if animals any more than
wheat has been sold years past for so
cents by the same kind of farmers.
The farmers are simply evidences that
certain tillers of the soil are at every
body's mercy. Grain in our land will
cease to be an article of commerce at
cheap rates. Our farmers are learning.
They see that the obstruction of the
poor is his poverty" The belt that fur
nishes Cheap grain moves west.
