dants shifted in their seats and there was
a buzzing among the spectators. AS the

and conspiracy in way that made the law
yers shift again and whisper "Guilty, all
three" was the verdict rendered at l2 ;25

The Effect of Protection in Canada.

The manufactures forced into existence
by protection have not paid, says Prof.
Goodwin Smith in the May Forum. Facti-
tious stimulus has been followed by glut
short time, and combinations. The iron
industry which Sir Charles Upper hoped
to create by laying protective duties on
British iron, and which was to do so much
for us, has come to nothing. The exporta-
ton to distant countries, such as China, is
suspected to be slaughter of surplus goods.
If farm property has fallen in value, if
other industries have not improved, and
manufactures have not paid, where are we
to look for this growth of wealth since
the adoption of protection? There are
manufactures in Canada OH sound basis
which do not fear an open market. AS
to the result to the consumer, the head
of our dry-goods trade said the other day
that if our Canadian manufactures were ex-
posed to American competition the capital
invested in them would not be worth more
than third of it's nominal value; so that
the interest on the rest was to be paid by
the public. Moreover, the commercial
interests of the different provinces have 80
little in common that the protection which
is meat to one is poison to another. The
protective tax ON coal was meat to Nova
Scotia and poison to Ontario. The govern
ment is beset by ludicrous embarrassments
in trying to frame protective tariff which
shall be meat for all.
Protectionism is in itself corruption.
What interests are "native' and to be pro-
tected, is decided by the lobby. The party
leader before an election calls together the
manufacturers, takes their subscription to
the election fund and pledges to them the
commercial policy of the country.
When people are Industrious, frugal and
temperate, as the Canadians are. and have
a country us full of natural resources as
Canada, no fiscal policy can prevent them
doing pretty well. But the fruits of the
protectionist policy in Canada afford no
support to the belief that communities can
be made rich by taxation.

They Enter Three Houses on the West Side
With Poor Success.
The festive sneak thief again piled his
vocation during the small hours of yester-
day morning, but did not meet with howl
ing success. There is also some doubt as
to whether the thief was he or she, for
young lady who resided at the residence
of Mrs. Norma Kinna, declares that she
saw the form of female in her apart
ments, and thought it was probably Mrs.
Kinna who might be coming in as she oc-
casionally does, but she did not realize
what the hour of the night was, but Mrs.
kinna did not 60 near the young lady's
room last night, and the latter declares
that the prowler was woman. Nothing
was secured from this house, however, as a
little dog made it interesting for the thief
by barking and making considerable fuss.
The thief was more successful at the
home of DIR. B. G. Brooke, on South Benton
avenue near Edwards street, where $40 in
money, a $75 watch and tin box of valua-
BILE papers were secured. During Yesterday
the box and all of the papers except prom
lssory note for $500 were recovered, having
been found scattered in the yard. DR..
Brooke is usually very wakeful, and it is
claimed that chlorofOrm was used. The
thief effected an entrance through win
dow, but he need not have done this as the
door was unlocked.
The residence of Sam Richardson, oppo-
site that of DR.. Brooke, was also entered,
success was very poor there. He searched
twelve rooms and secured only S1:3O from
the clothes of one of the dodgers at the
house.

PRESIDENT HARRISON keeps up ap-
pearances by telling Dudley not to come
to the white house, but the blocks OF
five hero is thriving on government
spoils just the same. A correspondent of
the Louisville Courier Journal says that
Dudley has the complete run Of all the
departments, and is the leading attor-
ney for all prominent jobs pending be-
fore congress. He is said to have made
100000 in the past year by collecting
pension claims, and within few days
has bought $4,000 house, paying for
the same in cash. When Mr.. Harrison
became president Dudley had nothing
but his reputation for capital, but that
seems to have been sufficient for all
purposes under this administration.
Tanner is also said to be making for
tune in pension jobs.

Sunday Closing.

The movement to secure the closing OF
Helena clothing stores on Sunday has
proved failure. This subject has been
agitated for number of years, but through
the perversity of one or two firms it has al
ways resulted in failure. 1t seems strange
that there are men SO sordid and grasping
that they refuse to give one day in the
fourteen hours during six DAYS
of the week. But such is the
case in Helena. Let the CALLED jade VINCE
appears to be the motto of some people SO
long all there is chance to make xl.5O.
There is no valid reason why the clerks in
clothing houses in this city should not re-
ceiye one holiday in seven, and the discern
ing public will take notice of the firms who
refuse to sign the agreement. It prove a
case Of penny wise and pound foolish" in
this instance and don't you forget it.

The sapient New York Herald con-
cludes that as no one would propose to
run railroad through Central Park,
New York, no road should be allowed to
enter any part of Yellowstone Park. Cen.
trail Park is half mile wide and two and
a half miles long and Yellowstone Park
contains 1912 square miles. One of the
richest mineral regions in the world lies
around Cooke City, which is easily ac-
cessible by rail by a route following
Soda Butte creek through a corner of
the park. No harm would be done to
the park by such road and much good
would accrue to region that should
be opened to settlement.

Cheap Freishts to Helena.

Helena is fortunately situated with
respect to railroad freight rates." said a
railroad official yesterday. 1.-The rates
from New York to Helena at the present
time are the same as they were from st.
Paul to Helena few years ago, before the
Great Northern was built. Hills idea OF
q lake and rail route has proved great
thing for this country. The rates from
Steamship line and the Great Northern
railway are now as follows: lst class, 81
per hundred: End, x2.54: 3rd, $o,05: ith,
Sl.6o: 9Th. S1.44. The average time from
New York to Helena is only twelve DAYS.
Our business men enjoy advantages pos
sessed by few cities in the country in this
matter of cheap and quick transportation.
If they don't think SO, let them comnare
rates to Helena with those to points not on
competing lines.
