THAT BREAKFAST TABLE

Republican newspapers have been
forced to ungraciously admit that the
Mckinley Carter tax means general
increase Of prices. The figures of the
bill conclusively prove that the increased
burdens fall most heavily on the wage
earners Of tho country. They have no
protection, are not going to have any,
and the manufacturers are swathed in
in it. The organs Of the &. o. p. have
even given up the old pretense that the
burden Of the prohibitive tariff falls upon
the foreigner and not upon the consumer.
The consumer has learned Of costly ex-
perlence and refuses to stomach any
more baseless campaign statements. He
knows when his pocket is affected and
he is after the scalp of the
Montana congressman who enabled
eastern men to deplete it It follows
that American labor is protected only
against American labor and that the
slight benefit OF one class OF laborers il
q grievous burden in its entirety to all
other classes. The manufacturer is the
man who walks Oh with the pile, and
who groans when the fat 10 fried out Of
him for republican Doodle purposes.
But tho campaign orators OF the ad-
ministration have one more claim to the
suffrages Of tho people to fall back upon.
At least, they cay % Facts, of course,
are against them, but that is unimpor-

The Chicago Tribune thus tells of the ex-
ferience Of two Montanians IN Chicago:
John w. Power, of Fort Benton, Montana,
accompanied by his brother, Senator
Power, of Helena, came out Of the Grand
Pacific hotel yesterday afternoon and
walked slowly up the street. The heavy
noon showers made the mud thick and the
pavement slippery at Nhe crossings. At
Adams street Mr.. Powers foot evidently
rested on the stone at the wrong angle and
up went both feet. Little Senator Power
couldn't catch his big brother, so John w.
fell fiat upon his broad back in the mud.
His hat started of at one angle and an
umbrella at another. Kind passers-b
picked him up. and casual survey of his
demoralizsd apparel induced him to hurry
out of sight in the hotel. Montana man
came across the street who said he had
never seen the senator wear silk hat be-
fore. expressed wonder whether that
official would dare present himself before
his Montana constituents 10 attired any
moro than John W. would tell the bows Of
his tumble in Chicago"

TWEED, REED AND CARTER.

AS long aS we cOunJ Inc VOLeS, Wnal
are you going to do about it, say?" de-
manded William NJ. Tweed in the inso
lence of his power.
ave must do our own registering, our
own counting and our own certiication,
said Thomas B. Reed in his spsech at
Pittsburg.
Tweed found out his mistake and died
in felons cell. His mistake was in
living too soon. He should have waited
for the force bill. Then he could have
uttered his defiance in safety. With
his tools and hirelings at every election
booth, acting as spies and bulldozers,
deciding who should and who should
not vote, in possession Of the ballot
boxes, scanning the ballots, footing the
figures, certifying to the result-Tweed
would have had long and unbroken
reign over his subjects. Reed has prof
tied by the mistakes of Tweed. His
force bill doesn't leave loophole. I'm
der its pro visions federal agents selected
for their fidelity to the republican party
are to usurp all the powers belonging to
the people Of the states and do the bid
ding Of their masters.
In other words Mr.. Reed Of Maine de-
liberately proposes that the republican
party shall elect itself and keep in
power by paid sZents who are to control
the elections in all the states. And on
this proposition Mr.. Carter Of Montana
neither pairs nor lodges but pops up
and shouts "me, too"
What do the workingmen of Montana,
whose SURFACES Mr.. Carter is asking on
the ground that he supported this bill,
think of such measure? What espe-
cially do our Irish fellow citizens, whose
hearts beat for their oppressed friends
and kindred across the sea, say to leg
islative act which both in name and
scope resembles the force bill passed by
the English parliament? As was truly
said when the Lodge bill was before
congress-:
1t is measure modelled after the bills
passed by parliament for Irish constituent
cies, and defended ON precisely the same
grounds. Mendacious ISLANDERS of the peo-
pie of the weaker sections; exaggerated and
sensational reports of occasional acts of
violence; passionate appeals to the people
OF other sections; petty persecutions and IT.
ritating annoyances by an unscrupulops
constabulary; offensive and insulting
charges thrown at tho representatives; mr.
gent party persuasion characterize in COM
mon those who pass force bills there and
press force bills here.
Do the liberty-loving, constitution
abiding workingmen of Montana believe
in this "Reminiscences of brutality and OPP
preston? The workingmen Of other
states do not. Grand Master Powderly
in the name OF the Knights of Labor has
condemned it as wicked, vicious and
malignant. Labor organizations all
over the country have declared against
the prying, inquisitorial measure as
wrong in principle and menace to the
liberty Of the voter.
Are the workingmen Of this state de-
sirous Of seeing federal Hessians sitting
on every ballot box in Montana to aid in
perpetuating Carter, Sanders and Power
in office? II they are not let them ad.
minister such rebuke to Tom Reeds
puppet that no other man will over dare
stand before Montana audience and
advocate measure SO infamous.

an over penurious young man from the east.
He is the representative of we'll known
New York banking firm and has been In
town several weeks. with view of making
investments. The other evening he, with /
party of three others, sat down at a little
game of whist for dollar corner. Sew.
eral rubbers were played and then dispute
arose over the bets. The New York mar
insisted that he owed only two dollars
while the others were morally certain tina,
he owed three. As they kept the record il
is probable that they were right. However,
the young man insisted that he knew the
account and became 20 determined in hia
manner that the others conceded the point
rather than have row. They decided that
it was very small piece Of business on his
part and began looking about for way to
even matters up. Tho next day he was
invited to join two Of the party in a
horseback ride. He accepted. and the next
afternoon found three spirited animals in
front Of The Helena. They started only at
an easy pace and went over fifteen miles of
unfrequented road. purposely leading the
young man into a locality from which it
would be difficult for stranger to find his
way out. Then they turned about, and the
two Helena gentlemen headed their horses

and the tenderfoot had very poor rider.
The two conspirators increased the pace un-
til they fairly few over the ground, and be-
ing good horsemen, they had no difficulty
in keeping it up. In the meantime the ten
derfoos followed % closely a. his horse

hands. The horse was stopped and the
young man was lifted from the saddle and
carried to his room. He was so stiff and
sore that he was removed to the hospital,
