 ST.

Those he killed were John Miller, his wife, his grown daughter Lou, man whose name is not known. The only clue to the cause of the killing lies in re- port that Dr. Stewart imtimated that Joslyn was the cause of Miss Miller's trouble

The Mckinley bill is from beginning
to end an exclusively party scheme, de-
liberately, inaexibly and irresistibly
forced upon the country by a disciplined
and terrorized congressional majority,
at the behest of wealthy industrialists
who, in consideration of this service
rendered, have contributed funds and
influence for carrying tho elections in
the interest of the party now in as
tendency, or more correctly of certain
party leaders. 1t will stand upon the
statute books as the grossest and most
corrupt exercise of legislative power
ever perpetrated in the history Of the
country, and as the signal monument of
a point of departure at which wealth
and corrupt politics joined hands in an
alliance for defeating public opinion in
the government of this nation.-New

THIS fall will see the democratic party
purge the fair name of our state from
the foul blot which has been heaped on
it, and afterwards, it is to be hoped,
our political battles will be fought
on plan of common honesty.
Afterwards it must be. A plan
of common honesty cannot be said
to exist, while one party is VIGOROUSLY
dishonest. 1t has prostituted both the
law and the bench to it's plans Of moral
and political obliquity. It's offenses
against the legal rights Of the voter are
of the deepest dye. Honesty cannot at
the same time be common to both par
ties and peculiar to one OF them.
Tie republican party in Mon
tana cannot play any confidence
game on the voters of the state. When
it has purged itself Of it's offenses or been
forced to confess them in the sackclo.h
and ashes Of defeat, when bitter expert
ence has taught it that honesty is the
best policy and it has abandoned once
and for all its devious ways, common
honesty will be no longer possibility
but an existing fact. Meantime the
democratic party has in this state cor
ner on the commodity.

GENERAL JOHN NJ. PALMER is making
a vigorous canvass for the seat i'll the
United States senate from Illinois. He
finds the farmers in sympathy with the
democratic views on tariff reform and
believes that the popular uprising
against the war tariff will result in his
election to the senate. In recent
speech he said he thought this govern
ment should be kept in line with the
fundamental principles established by
the constitution. 81 know it is almost q
subject of mirth to mention the consti-
tuition" said the general as he told a
story Of surveying party down in Flor
ida, who were running lines over the
country, and appeared to be in some
perplexity. A countryman drove up,
and asked what they were looking for.
He was told congress had appropriated
several thousand dollars to improve a
creek in that neighborhood, and they
were lookingfor it. "Well," said the
Floridian, '.you may find the creek, but
I'm doubtful il it's constitutional"
III the election thieves Of Montana had
shown this Floridian's scrupulous regard
for the constitution the state might
have been saved from disgrace.

the New York Central suggested an in
terview with him the other day, in the
course OF which he said:
"Now, you ask me whether I think that
train wreckers should be punished to the
full extent of the law. Well, you know I
don't believe in laws and all that trash.
The laws of to-day, the courts, and the exc
cution of sentences, are all farce. II
there is crime committed, it can't be made
any better by another crime. One man
murders another. That's enough. The
state murders him; that only makes two
murders. and the first man is just as dead.
Herr Most's regard for the law, or at
least the efficacy Of the law, has, how
ever, grown since his Imprisonment at
Blackwell's island. There may be nc
statute to stop his talk, but he is keep
ing very quiet in other ways. His latest
addition to socialistic literature recalls q
verse that once went the newspaper
rounds:
Much. more, most 50 says the grammar,
Eut we another law demand
A little less Most and much lees clamor-
Much more Most we cannot stand.

IT appears that the republicans OF
Texas do not love the negro as they
should, according to Senator Chambers
teaching. The republican state central
committee of that state has recently
issued circular, from which we clip the
following paragraph:
1--WE can no longer endure the shame, dis
grace and humiliation brought upon repub-
licanism in Texas by the audacity, AFRO
gance and corruption of the negro leaders
and their followers. They have
sold their votes to the highest bidder at
every election. reproach to our civiliza-
ton and curse to our country.
The terrible and gigantic evil of negro
domination must be met"
Then, again, some idea of the sweet
harmony prevailing between brethren OF
different colors, but OF the same party,
may be gained from the following OK
cerpts:
"Surely there cannot be white repub-
lican in this broad land of ours who m ay
justly lay claim to responsibility and self
esteem and to true love of his country
and fellow men and to liberty and progress
who will not assert his manhood and join
us heart and soul in the effort to rescue re-
publicanism from negro domination in
Texas, and restore the republican party in
our state to the dignity and universal rec
ignition to which it is entitled by the mer-
its of its patriotic principles. The
time has come to meet the terrible and
gigantic evils of negro domination in our
state face to face, and to array in solid
phalanx against the arrogance, corruption
and treachery of the negro leaders. Let us
recognize the republican party in Texas on
the basis that all republican primaries shall
be conducted and participated in by white
republicans exclusively. It will wrest the
management of our party from the hands
of the base and degraded negro politician
Fellow republicans, shake off the
yoke of negro domination, wipe
out the stain that has rested these many
years past upon the fair name of the re-
publican party in Texas and restore repub
licanism to dignity and prosperity"
The vital question now is what shall be
done with the Texas negro. The repub
lican leaders Of the north say he shall
not be democrat, and the Texas re
publicans say he shall not be repub
lican. This leads to another proposition
Do the republicans Of the United Slater
senate control the republican party o
Texas, or is it controlled by the repub
licans of that state? These natter
should be explained before the fore
bill is passed.

THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER.

AAlF AMI 1" - II N INN AIAss
The Inter Mountain, like most of it's
republican newspaper co-adjutors, can
not avoid numerous blunders in discuss
ing tariff matters For instance, in a
blind and tiresome discourse on "a Free
Trade Fallacy," our contemporary re-
marks:
"The fact is that everything the American
farmer uses and wears is as cheap in this
country as it is anywhere else in the world.
Protection preserves for him home mar
ket. Under free trade his farm Implements,
food and clothing would not be preceptibly
cheaper anu the home market would be de-
stroyed. because American manufacturers
who create that market would be crushed
ort of existence by foreign competition"
The absurdity of such argument may
be seen at glance. II it is fact that
all manufactured articles are as cheap in
this country as anywhere in the world
will our contemporary kindly explain the
Necessity of tariff of "A per cent. on
foreign manufactured articles? AssuE,-
ing that the Inter Mountains statement
Of values is true, how under this argu-
ment could American manufacturers be
crushed out Of existence by foreign com
petition if goods are as cheap in this
country as in others? Will the English
manufacturer pay ocean freights on his
goods to find that they are to be sold in
America at English prices? The density
Of the Inter Mountains argument is ex-
plainable only by it's ignorance Of the ex-
istence of tariff of "A per cent main
tanned by the influence of monopolists
and tariff barons for the purpose of
maintaining fictitious values on home
manufactured goods. The fact that
manufactured articles of all kinds are
sold cheaper in European countries is
beyond dispute. This war tariff is main
tanned and in existence for the sole ben
eft of moneyed kings of the east is play
ing out. The great majority must be
looked after. Concerning the situation
o1 the farmers for whom the Inter
Mountain expresses much solicitude in
its recommendation of high protective
tariff, we append the views Of Uncle
Jerry Rusk as recently expressed in the
Chicago Tribune. Secretary Rusk said:
Forty four per cent. of the inhabitants
of this country are engaged in the farming
business. l say they're entitled to the same
measure of protection IA the other fellows
II they don't get it, it's not fair deal
that's all. We're getting pretty tired o

forget the quiet but effective manner in
which party OF fellows were once called
down. l was one of a party of nine in a
Pullman on a long winter journey from
Chattanooga to Washington, ride of about
thirty-six hours. There were three very
loud commercial travellers, man with
three children. the youngest year old in

SO years, whom I afterwards knew very

cards. in the smoking room and Willing

The poor man in the meantime was full of
business looking after his children. They
were flying all about the car in all sorts of
difficulties until evening approached. Then
they grew tired and cross and the fathers
troubles increased. Soon after the CONNER
cial travellers returned to their sections the
baby began to cry, and with all the father
could do refused to be comforted. The
drummers became very much annoyed and
began making side remarks about children
having no business on q railroad train
Finally when prolonged yell from the
baby attracted more attention than usual
one of the trio turned about and inn
patiently said to the father:
Cant you shut that young one up

I'm the baggage car" quietly replied tn
father as the tears came to his eyes.
