Tom Carter will appear before the
this week to argue against. he passage
of the Sweeney bill, which provides for
the taxation OF live stock grazing on
the public domain. While there may
he no chance for the passage OF this
bill. there is no question but that it j.
offered in good faith and that it will be
pressed with energy. II was left for
the Butte Miner to pose rs the dIrtiest
partisan liar in the Terrt DRY in speak
of this bill. In "a recent issue it said:
"A few days ago he Carter induced
his particular friend Represent ative
sweeney, OF Iowa, to Introduce II bill
in congress to tax all stock grazing
upon the public domain one dollarper
annum.' Tho Miner also c;tlS it a
trick" This partisan hireliny knows
or should know that this tax was agl-
tated by the Mississippi valley farm
ers long before congress convened.
Over six weeks ago the Northwestern
Live Stock Journal. published at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, called attention
to this matter. as did also the Hus-
bandman and the ARGUS. The laymen
OF both. political parties in this State
above all, like to see fair play. They
are more interested in the welfare OF
the industries i'm which they are en-
gagged than in the fortunes of Doodle
politicians or party supremacy. Ii II
man is working honestly and sincerely
for their interests he will receive the
credit due him, and it is short sighted
policy for political opponents to
resort to falsehood and detraction for
the purpose OF inJuring him before the
people. Party zeal should he confined
within honest lines. The weapon OF
falsehood recoils and Injuries only the
person who wields it and those who
sanction it.

Great Falls Tribune: We hope also.
in the interest of both miner and
ranchrpan. that the Barker road may
be extended to the Judith basin, which
needs badly II railroad. Railroad
communication would impart greater
value to ;he ranch products of that

The proposition to place "A tariff oi

That creature of chance and circum-
stance. young William II. emperor of
Germany, ,trlleto the despotic idea held
forcent uries past, believes III the divine
right of kings. In recent speech he
said: IL see in the people and the
land ent ruste,l to me 10y God n talent
which. as the Bible says, it is my duty
TO increase. mean with all my
strength to so trade with my talent
that ! will he enabled to add many
another thereto. Those who help me
heartily welcome; those who oppose
me dash to pieces" Wonder if God
has entrusted anything to this royal
accident who revels in wealth and
luxury while his subjects are starving;
who dwels in a palace while others as
good as he live in novels. Does God
stand in with royalty, with gilt and
tinsel, as against the pesantry? Will
God endorse the 'dashins to pieces
policy? The emperor mas spoken hut
God remains silent.

Prince Bismarck mas resigned and
General Won Caplivi, has been ap-
pointed to succeed him. The chancel-
lor alleges that old age and failing
health are his reasons for desiring 10
Withdraw from public life. But the
result OF the recent elections and OPP
position to the emperor regarding
colonial matters has had much more
to do with his retirement. Bismarck
has done "a great deal for German
unity, ana has been the real emperor
in fact if not in name. But he was
iron-willed and despotic. 1t was by
establishing IA military policy which
oppressed his own people that made
other nations stand in fear of him.
Perhaps the time has arrived for II
milder and more concilatory policy.
The fate of the German empire should
not rest in the hands of one man; il
so, the quicker disnt-rcation sets in
the better. Neither kings, emperors
or chancellors have any divine rights.

Inside OF three years cattle will again
command high prices. Many farmers
who are now selling oil their stock will
be in the field as buyers when the ad-

who are buying up all the young stock
they can obtain money to pay for, at
the low prices prevailing at present,
