SNOWY UNIFORMS.

RELOCATED by the Improvement in Fire
Arms.
I. Recent improvements in small arms. the
introduction of smokeless powder, and the
consequent possibility of battle between far
distant forces, have directed the attention
of military men on the continent to the
necessity Of clothing soldiers in less con-
spicuous uniforms. The reform in ques-
ton has been discussed at length in France,
although the comparatively modest shades
of the French uniforms give far less cause
for apprehension than the classically brill
liant garments of the German military.
The polished helmets, the scarlet an d
blue of most German soldiers, the white
collars of the Cuirassiers, and the rainbow
tints all over the Hussars make the
wearers so remarkably distinct to the eye at
long distances that the destructive work of
hostile infantry or artillery 10 greatly facil-
itated. Even when behind an earthwork or
in trench, the infantry is betrayed by the
long protruding metal spikes of the helmets.
Russian and French infantry are almost
invisible when they lie on the ground, and
whom marching at a distance are exceeding
either, therefore. the German infantry
would be at a great disadvantage. With
the exception of England. Germany is the
only great power that still clings to the
perilous primeval showiness Of uniforms.
The present agitation in Germany 10 in
favor of blackening the helmets, abolishing
the rainbow uniforms Of cuirassiers and
hussars, and limiting as far a. practicable
the wearing of scarlet.

The Republican County Committee
was very busy yesterday circulating
pretty blue badges bearing Carter's
name over a pick and crook. Beneath
is quotation from a speech Of this So
called friend of the miners The badge
caused good deal of amusement in po-
litical circles. One citizen expressed his
appreciation in the following letter to
Congressman Carter. 1850.
Hon. Thomas H. Carter-Respected Sir:
1t is my proud privilege to be the recipient
from the Republican.State Central Commit
tee, of blue badge, upon which, among
other things, is enblazoned the symbol of
the pick and crook, and desire at this time
to express to you my high appreciation of
the fitting character of these symbols. The
color fittingly indicates the feelings of your
followers. The pick is symbolical of the
methods adopted by your intercourse with
the pockst-books of your constituents, and
the crook aptly represents your own polit-
ical career, There is only one more char
acter that could suggest. to make this
badge complete, and that is the figure of a
lively and energetic eel.
Hoping that you will appreciate this,
coming as it does from a sincere ad
mirer-not SO much of your character as of
the elegant exhibition which your career
furnishes of the contortionist of poll
tics. Proteus has ceased to be available as
q comparison since the commencement of
your political career.
Your obedient servant,
REPUBLICAN WHO WILL VOTE FOR DIXON.

The London Engineer recently pub
lished the following letter from Shelf
field:
"Mr. Andrew Carnegie. the American mil
lionaire, has been in Sheffield since my
last letter, and has visited several of our
principal works. He was accompanied by
his agent. He ordered considerable value
some e23, 0O0-of Sheffield machinery and
other goods. These orders are welcome in
two ways. They give work to start with.
and they show also that the old town can
still produce tools which the great Pitts
burg manufacturers think superior to their
own"
Thus it is that ore of the leading
figures in the republican party breaches
against pauper European labor one day
and on the next imports its product
into the land of ''infant industries"

charge of an agent Of the committee,
and there mailed in order to avert sus-
picion as to their origin. But the
.forgers, like the Demands and other
rascals Of fraudulent affidavit infamy
last year, bungled their job and it gave
them away. The letters have been
quickly traced to their source and their
authorship and origin proved beyond
controversy.
So far as the effect Of such idiotic
rubbish on the campaign is concerned
it is not worth a passing thought. But
what do the intelligent voters of Mon
tana think Of polit' Il organization
that is sunk so low az to employ such
methods?

JUDGE DIxoN's CAMPAIGN.

Whatever may be the result Of Tues
days election, Judge Dixon's part of the
campaign will stand out clear and dis
tinct, shining example for future en-
ulation. His discussions of political
issues have been marked by the dignity,
courtesy and fairness that are part Of
his nature. At no time has he INDUCED
in the cheap claptrap Of politicians or
exchanged personalities incident to q
fierce political battle. This feature Of
his campaign has commanded the re-
spect of opponents who hesitate at
nothing for effect. His speech at the
great meeting last evening was fair
example Of the others. It was series
Of mastery arguments logically ar
ranged and delivered with telling effect.
The issues, SO vitality important to Mon
tans, were discussed with full knowl-
edge Of their meaning and with proper
appreciation Of the occasion. There
were no appeals to visionary sentiments
no glittering promises. no abusive
thrusts or difficult explanations. 1t was
q speech dignified and temperate and
well worthy Of the close attention given
II elected he will be the same Judge
Dixon in the hall of representatives
There will be no evasive methods in his
course and no promises that will not be
kept. During the present campaign
his speeches have emphasized his admi
rable fitness for congressional life. Hif
commanding ability and his high sense
of personal honor, known to all Mon
tanians, have been particularly conspic-
uous in this campaign.

A CLUMSY FRAUD.

Many voters received through the
mails yesterday the following letter
bearing Butte date and postmark:
BUTTE, October 80. 189o.-DEAR SIR: We
wish to call your attention to a few facts
concerning the candidates for congress to
be voted for next Tuesday. Wedo 80 in the
strictest confidence, feeling We can trust
you. The FACTS are these.
Mr.. Dixon wax born in AMERICA, of Amer
loan parents and good family, and has the
education and culture of a gentleman, and
has always maintained reserve toward
those below him in social station. He has
also heartily co-operated in excluding for
eigners from public Office, except when it
was unavoidable.
On the other hand Carter is foreigner,
descended from the laboring classes and
has neither the education nor culture of
Mr.. Dixon. There are some other reasons
Why Mr.. Dixon is to be preferred to Tom
Carter.
Now, which will you support and vote
forf Last year you had NO choice as be.
tween Maginnis and Carter. This year
there il choice.
Please give us your earnest support in
these closing days Of the campaign. and
elect Mr.. Dixon, AZ we did Goyerno,
Toole last year. because he was an Ameri-
can.
The contest will be close, and We neeG
only . few of the Independent votes, a.
Mr.. Dixon will get the solid vote of his party
a. his American inclinations are not gener
ally known.
Please show this in confidence to a few
with whom you have influence.
Yours very truly,
''SoNs OF AMERICA"
simultaneously with the receipt Of
the letter bere copy Of the same was
published in the Helena Journal, accom-
panied by the editorial assumption Of
it's genuineness and an appeal to the
prejudice of voters Of foreign birth

that it was clumsy fabrication. II
was SO transparent fraud that it is
doubtful II the stupidest and most igno-
rant man in Montana could be deceived
by it. Certainly no man who has lived
in Helena long enough to vote could be
induced to believe that the Patriotic
Order of Sons Of America embracing
within its ranks such prominent repub
licans as John w. Thompson, chairman
Of the republican county com
mittee, Judge Hoxey, leader Of
the rump house of representatives

had declared in favor OF Judge Dixon

The Cotton situation.

The New York Commercial Bulletin in
in its review of the cotton market says:
''There are operators who can work out
some very promising statistical exhibits
to show the comparative cheapness of
cotton, and how consumption ought to
srsquire q proportion fully equal to the
increase of crop, even allowing for max
imum estimates. There may eventually
prove to be merit in the figures; but the
necessary demand certainly does not ex-
ist now, or, possibly more correctly
speaking, does not develop, because it is
unable to secure the monetary backing
to support it. The speculator looks at
the nice sure thing existing on the differ
ence between months, and signs as he
appreciates his inability to take advan-
tage OF the opportunity, while the do
mestic spinner and the exporter are re-
strained from the temptation of
investment by the clogging OF the chan
nels through which they ordinarily
secure the required assistance. Further
more, previous suggestions are
commencing to find some Indorse-
ment in the matter of supplies. the
steady growth of accumulation at
primary points becoming more and more
burdensome and seeking an outlet under
pressure; and though an easing up on
money may result in the offering finding
custom the fear now seems to be that the
flow of stock, when first started at least,
will prove altogether too free for market
steadily llquidating its speculative long
interest and containing large percent
age of "away- back shorts not likely to
become greatly Hurried by any ordinary
scare efforts. To-day the buyer had the
best of the deal, not enough TO bring
about any radical change IN line of cost,
yet on the whole showing an absence of
any really healthy conditions. Indeed,
the general feeling seemed to be one of
more or less discouragement over the
probabilities of obtaining any immediate
infusion of strength, the announced
failure of the Druid mills at Balti-
more being looked upon as
matter of serious importance
while advices from other sources were
lacking in encouragement. Liverpool
displayed no pluck or strength, financial
news from London was looked upon as
discouraging, and the South generally
appeared to be urging its cotton with
considerable anxiety to find immediate
custom. Spots found very moderate
record of sales, and the regular line of
quotations remains very much as before,
but choice qualities remain scarce and
are still commanding quite q fractional
