PLEADS GUILTY TO ONE COUNT.

PLEADS GUILTY TO ONE COUNT.
Mr.. Carter's statement that he would
have voted for McKinley's re solution tc
take up the house silver bill--not the
free coinage measure-had he not been
paired with Boatner, puts him in even a
worse light than before, if that were
possible. The friends Of free coinage
we're solidly against McKinley's resolu.
ton because it limited debate, applied
the gag and placed their cause IN jeop-
ardy. And SO Carter would have voted
with Mckinley! He was more com
pletely under the control Of Reed and
Wall street than we thought. Here is
the picture Of the scene on that eventful
day. We quote from that sterling re-
publican journal, the Denver Repub-
lican:
The republican leaders gathered around
the free coinage republicans in different
parts of the hall and besought them not to
desert the party at this crisis. They said
that if the special order should be defeated
it would result in the failure of congress to
enact any silver legislation at this session.
The responsibility, they said. would be upon
the shoulders of the free coinage men. They
appealed to the silver men to throw aside
their interests for the good of the party.
They also used threats. In some instances
they declared that the boilers need not ex-
poet to get any more favors from Speaker
Reed, and that the failure Of any members
to vote with their party would be 1emem-
bered and that they would not get any
more of their local bills passed this session.
These arguments had much weight with the
members. It required good deal of nerve
to Withstand such language. BY these and
similar arguments Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas,
was whipped into line, and Mr.. Carter, of
Montana, did not vote at all. There were
many others there who weakened at the last
moment; but twelve representatives, in
Guiding Mr.. Townsend, of Colorado, stood
fast. They were: Anderson, Funston and
Kelly, of Kansas; Connel, of Nebraska;
Feathersto4e, of Arkansas; Bartine, Of Ne
vada; Hermann, of Oregon; Dehaven, Nor
row and Vandever, of California, and Laid
law, of New York.
Mr.. Carter's frank admission that he
would not have been one of this little
Spartan band Of republicans in any event,
that he would have voted with Reed aud
Mckinley to push ahead with the admin
istration's anti free coinage measure, is a
plea of guilty to one of the most serious
indictments against him. We do not
need to quote that letter from Mr.. Boat
ner: II am now and have always been a
free coinage democrat; was paired with
Mr.. Carter on the silver bill" Mr..
Carter admits that he had no intention
of standing by the other free coinage
republicans from the northwest on that
test vote.
Now for the other explanations!

TIE daily mails are loaded with tons
of republican campaign documents from
Washington. Among them Is pam
phlet entitled "Better Days for Farm
ers." In headline is the query: II
free trade is good for farmers, why are
British farmers so much worse of than
American farmers? There are two rea-
sons. One is that the British farmer il
tenant, and another is that the over
crowded farming population Of Great
Britain makes much greater competi-
ton Of labor. At the same time the
British farmer would be much worse of
than the American farmer IL the latter
had the benefit OF tariff reform.

Mr.. CARTER's managers should urge
him to drop glittering generalities and
move faster with those explanations, or
he wont be done with them when the
polls close. Here is the list Of failures
Failure to vote for free coinage-paired

brushes and other articles Of neces-
sity. he does not need to go further than
to consult the merchant with whom he
deals. These are facts. They may be
disputed. They can not be denied.
Why should the laboring men Of Mon
tana, why should miners and mechanics,
farmers and clerks, why should any wage
Garner vote to reflect this man Carter
to congress? He is leading supporter
Of this tariff fraud.
Carter may urge his return on his
record on silver legislation and lead ores.
He may twist and wind and squirm around
that pair OF his with Boatner. He may
deny that Tom Reed was in the scheme
not to shame him utterly as traitor and
renegade in the eyes of his constituents.
But the fact remains, and it is patent to
every voter in this state, that oily Tom
turned tail at the critical moment of the
silver fight. His action has made silver
worth less today by % cents than what
it would have been, had he been true to
his promises, his protested principles and
the interests of his constituency. But
even il he had done all he falsely claims,
he cannot mention one miner whose
wages have risen one single cent by vir-
tue of these measures; on the contrary,
the miners cost of living has been in
creased on an average of from Is to Is
per cent. Tom Carter has plundered his
pockets as boldly as ever Plummer and
his gang did similar job. The men on
Wall street and their benefciaries in
congress have reaped the reward. The
miner may 90 hang, but he ought first to
vote for Carter, thinks Carter.

The trade in furs has always been one
in which the first cost of the article has
borne singularly small proportion to
the price it ultimately commands in the
market. John Jacob Aston, at the time
of his death the richest man in the
United States, laid the foundation of his
immense fortune, estimated at $50, 000,-
600, in furs. He was wont in his latter
years to declare that when as young
man he went into the wilds of this state
with his pack on his back he often pVr-
chased of Indians for strings of beads
which had not cost him as much as six
pence sterling skins which when dressed
commanded in London as many guineas
Of course the skins in passing through
the hands Of various individuals We're
advanced for various profits ON them be-
fore they were sold for six guineas
Still, making every allowance for this
the gains of Astor were enormous in pro-
portion to his first outlay. Although
the profits realized in the fur trade sixty
or seventy years ago can no longer be
obtained the difference between the first
cost of the skins and the retail price is
still extremely considerable. - Ladies

4 Monster Bell.

The largest bell in the worlds the one
in Moscow, Russia, known as the king
of Bells" L was cast in 1882, partly
from fragments of another great bell
called the Giant" which was broken
in the early part of the Seventeenth cent
ury by falling from its support. The
Giant" although not as large as the
King of Bells" was, nevertheless, no
piglny, for we are told that it weighed
2SS,000 pounds, and took the combined
strength Of twenty-four men TO ring it,
The king of Bells" like its predeces-
sor, had the misfortune to be broken five
years after it was cast by falling timbers
during the great fire of 1887.
The bell is now upon the ground, the
broken place in the side being as large
as good sized door. The bell itself is
large enough for dwelling house, be-
ing 10 feet and inches in height and so
feet and 8 inches around the margin
This monster of monsters weighs 443, 732
pounds. 1t is said that an enormous
amount of gold (by some authorities
estimated at over ton) was by accident

Tormenting an Anteater.

The anteater is described as being an
extremely stupid, slow moving animal,
by no means given to attacking its
neighbors, but when hard pressed it is
said to sit up on its headquarters like a
bear and defend itself with its powerful
claws. Apropos of this habit The Lon
don Saturday Review has heard the fol-
lowing story of an anteater at the Zoo,
and, though we cannot vouch for its
scientific accuracy, it has moral. and
will, we think, bear repetition.
A man-one of the class SO well known
to and hated by the keepers, whose chief
interest in visiting the menagerie appears
to be to torment the unfortunate ami
understanding by the anteaters cage
was heard to remark that this was the
sort of animal ne liked, as it could not
bite. He then proceeded to poke it with
his new silk umbrella, on which the ant
eater retaliated by quietly taking hold
of that weapon with its claws, with the
result that the unfortunate owner was
left in possession of the frame while the
animal carried off the silk as a trophy of
well earned victory over its enemy.

A Swindling Fortune Teller.

An old female fortune teller at Tours,
France, has been sentenced to eight
months Imprisonment for swindling a
simple minded man. She persuaded him
that he would discover in a certain place
which she indicated vast amount of
treasure guarded by a skeleton and a
good genius. The said treasure consist
ed, she said, of ton of gold and dia-
monds; but before they could be obtain
ed she ordered him to enter upon GER
tain ceremonies. of which the most
important was the burning Of candles
and incense All this he faithfully per-
formed, and then for several weeks dug
most zealously at the spot of ground
which had been pointed out to him.
Finding his labor in vain he returned to
the old fortune teller, who encouraged
lim to continue, and he did so. In all
she swindled the poor man out of 1000
francs.-Paris Letter.

Talk About Furs.
THE END.

1t is almost rs easy to run up heavy
bills with a furrier as it is with jeweler
or silversmith. Furs, so far as good profits
are concerned to the fur dealer, are es-
sentially luxuries of the rich. 1t is the
rarest and finest skins that yield the
most lucrative returns, as they COM
mand prices which become fanciful in
proportion to their scarcity. There is
one point in favor of the fur dealer in
the perishable nature of his most costly
wares.
Jewelry may be handed down as an
heirloom. and at the worst the jewels
viii only need resetting; services OF sil-
yer plate are almost indestrpctible, and
even if they are burned in some con-
a. ration toe r-sclous metal remains;
