WHILE Montana as state is doing
nothing to bring immigration to this
most desirable part of the American
continent, Canada to the north of is pur-
suing wise policy that promises to
turn great tide Of population to her
domain. The fund appropriated for the
purpose at the last session of parliament
is to be expended in part in bringing
from England delegation of tenant
farmers, one from the Midlands, one
from Wales, two from Scotland and two
from Ireland. All the expenses of these
men will be paid and they will visit
every part OF the Dominion. On their
return they will be asked to prepare
short practical reports on what they
have seen. AS these delegates will be
selected by the farmers themselves in
the communities from which they come
their reports will Of course receive full
credence and If they are favorable to the
country visited new settlers will be sure
to flock to the Dominion. This plan has
such obvious advantages over the old
"boom" methods, the alluring and not
always truthful pamphlets and like lit
erature, that it is likely to be adopted in
some of our own western states. We
believe that the best results will be
achieved in Montana by inducing the To-
cation OF colonies on our lrrigable lands.

CoUNT ToLsTo1 said to an American

Count ToLsTo1 said to an American
visitor the other day: "In the United
States you have the best of all govern
ments, because you scarcely know that
you have any government at ALL" The
Count is evidently not subscriber to
the Congressional Record. If he were
he would learn that the party in control
of the national administration is about
to enact measure known as the Nc
Kinley bill which proposes that the fed.
eral government shall levy tribute upon
every household in the land to make
richer an already rich firm in Pennsyl-
vanla that is engaged in making tin
plate; that it proposes TO increase the
cost Of every workingman's breakfast
by adding forty per cent. to the price of
the dishes from which he eats, for the
benefit of few potteries in New Jersey;
that it proposes to take certain sum
from his earnings every day for allowing
him to sleep under a wooden blanket and
wear flannel shirt, the money SO col
lected to be put into the plethoric pock-
cts of few wealthy manufacturers in
New England. But, worst of all, the
Count will discover by reading back
numbers of the Record that the major
ity OF our national lawmakers actually
propose that the American freeman
whom he enves shall not even exercise
free Dallot-that it shall be taken from
his hand by federal officer who shall
deposit it for him if he chooses, count it
as he sees fit, throw it out if he doesn't
like it and certify such result as his
masters in Washington desire. But the
Count is pretty sure to revise his opin-
ion Of us when he learns that the bar
gain counter statesman has shut the
"kreutzer Sonata" out of the United
States mails.

Cohen by six young rowdies passing
through Hebrew colony on South Union

speedily reinforced by nearly hundred
other Hebrews. The leader of the rein
forcements was Jacob Siff, neighbor of

She Kills = Rascal in Mexico and Suffers
for 1t,
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. IA letter sent to
the Constitution by woman now living in
Mexican town. makes pitiful appeal to
American women and citizens for money
to help her in her distress. The woman is
May Inez McCabe, aged Is, wife of Judge H.
McCabe. She is native of Texas.
Her husband was county Judge of
Hidalgo and being wounded in the foot by
one Max Stein in June last, crossed the Rio
Grande to Reynosa, Mexico, to secure med
ical aid. Stein, it appeared from the letter,
prosecuted the woman with his attention
and on one occasion seized her by force
and attempted to make her comply with
his wishes. She was i'll several weeks after
and gave birth to a dead
child. After recovery Stein still fol-
lowed her using threats and also
circulated stories of slanderous nature
concerning her. Finally she met him Sun
day night, August II, in Renosa, and on his
renewing his threats shot him through the
heart. For this she was arrested, and is
now in prison at Matamoras. She begs
that money be sent there or to Don Juan
Donunquez, Renosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. .

Shot Mother and Wife.

MINIATURES, Sept. IA shocking tragedy
was enacted at Wauwautosa, suburb of
Milwaukee, this afternoon. Mrs. Ed.
Reininger had left her husband on account
of brutal treatment and returned to her
mothers home. She and her mother were
sitting on porch to-day, when Reininger
came by the house. He asked his wife if
she wonld return to him. She refused, and,
without moments warning, he pulled out
revolver and shot her three times, fatally
wounding her. The mother interfered, and
she, too. was shot twice. Mrs. Raymor's
wounds may not prove fatal. Reiringer
was arrested.

PEOPLE OF NOTE,

Jean Ingelow. who is so years old, lives in
retirement with her mother at kensington,
England. She writes but little, and devotes
most of her time and income to charitable
work.
Temperance advocates are rejoicing over
the fact that Blaine is now total alb
stainer. 1t is remarked that tho list of pub
lie men who have joined the various tenn
perance organizations of late years is long
one.
Felicia Holt, magazine writer, quotes
little girl as asking her mother ''if she
might take off her dress and play in her
underclothes like the ladies did on the
beach," Miss Holt is opposed to promis-
cuous bathing.
Young Prince George, who ia now cruis-
ing in Canadian waters, is but three re-
moves from the English throne, with a
very old grandmother. father we'll ad-
vanced in years and an invalid brother
ahead of him.
Rev. Sam Jones few years ago bought
piece of land in Georgia for 5000 and it is
at present worth $4,000. Mr.. Jones now
takes the view that there is no need for the
camel to attempt to go through the eye of
the needle when it is SO much easier to 90
around.
The Oldest pensioner in the United States
is Mrs. Henry Ray, colored woman 112
years old, who lives near Glen Gardner,
New Jersey. Her husband was an army
cook during the war of 1872, and she draws
a life pension of $12 month. She is IN
good health, but nearly blind.
Murat Halstead is shining type of the
working journalist. He lives at the Bre-
WORT House. Every morning he is at the
Standardization office in Brooklyn by 8
O'Clock, and sometimes earlier. dozen
pencils have been sharpened for him, and
he throws off his coat and plunges into
work without any fussy preliminaries. He
writes steadily until 1870 p. m. The result
is over a half page of strong, yet graceful
expression of editorial opinions. Then Mr.
Halstead writes column-often two
column-letter to his Cincinnati paper.
This he sends every day, Sundays included.
His associates in Brooklyn look upon him
with wondering eyes. But Mr.. Halstead
says that he has found some difficulty in
filling in his spare time. For that reason
he has now taken up some ''outside" liter
AIRY work. Some little time before he left
Cincinnati Mr.. Halstsad employed a stem
ographer. But he filled the stenographer's
note book in no time. Then. having Sc
much more time than he needed, he would
take up his pencil and busy himself again.
The consequence was that he did abou,
two mems work. and he was pretty we'll
tired out when his day was over. With all
his capacity for work. he is invariably in
good spirits. He reads the thrusts of polit-
lea! opponents with amusement: the sharper
they are. the more he is amused. Then he
takes his pencil and responds.

lean commerce and concluding as usual
with the absurd recommendation of
liberal subsidies to enable American
vessels to run to foreign ports. As we
are under tariff system that enhances
the cost of manufactures of every sort
far beyond point whore we can COM
pete with England and other countries
in the markets of the world the folly OF
trying to sell our surplus products to

the matter moments thought. Even
Mr.. Blaine was frank enough to point
out the futility of putting up the bar
riers against the South American coun-
tries and then inviting them to buy our
high priced goods.

As the republican voters Of Silver

Yet 1t will not be the captain alone.

Meeting of Worlds Fair Directors.

CHICAGO, Sept. AN informal meeting
of the Worlds Fair directors was held yes
terday afternoon. The new proposition
from the Illinois Central road regarding
the Lake Front was considered. 1t is that
a strip along the lake shore 500 feet wide
and several blocks in length will be piled,
giving total of seventy acres to be used on
the Lake Front, the railroad to pay the ex-
penses. It is reported that large num-
Der of directors present favored the propo-
sition, inasmuch az it would not be neces-
sary to take back the site already rendered
