TO THE BRETHREN.

We are receiving every day many let
ters of inquiry about things relative to
the business of this Office, which are
already answered in THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. Owing to the large correspon-
dence and increasing business of this of
fee we are unable to answer as promptly
as we wish. We ask the brethren to
please read The PROGRESSIVE FARMER and
it will save them much writing and will
be a source of great benefit and pleasure
to them, and relieve us of a large amount
of work. Fraternally,

Monday afternoon, Notwithstanding
the notice was very short, a large
crowd of the farmers and others of
this county assembled in the court
house to hear an address from Col. l..
L. Polk, President of the National

able, interesting and instructive ad-
dress, which was enjoyed by all pres
ent. We took full notes, but other
matters which we're in hand for this
issue compel us to defer the publica-
ton of u report until next issue. 1t
was such an excellent speech that we
wish all readers of The Democrat to

STATE NOMENCLATURE.

For the past four months the eastern
press has had n good deal to say about
Montana. and in treating of her and
her election troubles many editors nave
displayed the very highest attainments
i'm ignorance. narrOwness and stupidity.
This was. of course. to be expected from
our republican contemporaries. and no
sensible Montanian worried himself
owe the misrepresentation, being fully
aware of their ephemeral character.
But now there is observed IA widespread
and apparently concerted attempt in
the d~ecaying provinces of the a to
fasten upon Montana for all time a
name as rough and inelegant in sound
as il is suggestive i'm idea of all that is
awkward. unpleasant and ridiculous.
This item is going the rounds back
East. with the characteristic thorough
ness of whatsoever is homely and of
bad report:
The new states have al been n~ieknam.-i, but
the character of the nomenclature il more sing
gestive than elegant. According tai surpassed
authority North Dakota is the Flicker Tail state.
South Dakota, Swiuge Cat, Washington. Chin
ook, and Montana the Stubbe,i Toe state.
by all that is refined and delicate We
protest against this effort of the other
states tn dub Montana with an appella-
ton perpetually suggestive of the mis-
step she was so unfortunate rs To make
on entering the gates of the sisterhOod.
The most graceful. dainty and heauti-
ful of d~ebutantes. in the excitement in
cident To her first coming ont, is liable
to stub her toe. take Il tumble. and make
Il holy show of herself. But on such
occasions it is not customary in polite
society for all the guests to set up "a
yell of n and delight. On the
contrary. the established rules of Ell
q,iette require the spectators not only
tn repress the peculiar emotions engen-
dered by the spectacle, but discreetly to
turn their heads and engage each other
in earnest conversation on foreign
matters n things for Il time long
enough to enabl the afflicted young
lady tn rise, readjust her apparel. shake
out the kinks and get ready for next
waltz.
Montana is all right. She has stubbed
her toe, il is true. but she is heartily
ashamed of herself and will never do il
again. There is nothing the matter
with her toes. Her legs are good, sound
and true. n has no constitutional
deformities anywhere. She is. in fact.
Il daisy. Whoever calls her Stubbed
Toe does il at his peril.

and friendship of patrons; and that is
a good will which the company in

BY 1He TAIL is RIGHT.

His ENceilency Governor Tosle, who i'm the

grab the bull by the horns, has wisely concluded
Ia let go and has compromised hy securing "a firm
hold On its tail butte Inter Mountain.
Years ago, one of the brightest men

wisdom. One of these said: people
tell you to take "A bull by the horns.
That is a mistake:. eve do it,. Always
take a bull by the tail, and then you
can let go when you get "a good ready.
The tail hold is right every time" That
is the grip with which the Governor
laid hold on the situation at the start.
That he has the bull well in hand up to
the present time we conclude from his
most recent remark, which is: Moth
