BISHOP POTTER, of New York, is, of
course, receiving sharp scoring from
republican organs for his severe words
ON the pension policy of the republican
party. Some of these organs accuse him
of the crime of mugwumpery, and others
give him deadly stab by calling him a
pessimist. Speaking of this latter term
the Philadelphia Times says: "Pessimist
is the organs name for one who believes
in public conscience to which an ap-
peal can be made against blind subserv-
iency Of party. The man who SCOTS at
such an appeal, who declares with Sen
ator Ingalls, that the decalogue and the
sermon on the mount have no applica-
tion to politics, and who treats his Eel
low men as dependents to be driven, o.
chattels to be bought-he is not q pes
simist; he is practical politician afte
the organs own heart" Bishop Potter

Ign, the other night, said: ave are pay
ing more for pensions to-day than Ger
many or France pays to support its
standing army. I am sure there is no
citizen in this country who would wish
to see an old soldier suffer. At the same
time there is such thing as asking too
much of the government, and I think
We as soldiers are in danger of taking
that attitude. We, as soldiers, are in
danger Of being thought to make mendi-
cants of ourselves. If there is anything
Of which the soldier ought to be more
proud than any other, it is Of having
served his country faithfully in her hour
of peril. I would rather die a pauper,
having been a soldier of my country,
than a millionaire and otherwise. Let us
take that view of it, then, and ask no
more of the government" 1t is signifi-
cant of the temper Of the veterans that
this sentiment evoked loud and long ap-
plause. Our present pension policy is
chiefly the work of republican politicians
and claim agents. The country is slow
ly awakening to this fact, and day OF
reckoning is coming for the jobbers who
have robbed the taxpayers OF the coun-
try under the name of patriotism.

Now said the Butte man, that thing
makes me laugh. Why $12 a week wouldn't
keep me in chewing tobacco as prices run
in my town. But look what fool this
young Teller was. He spends SO cents for
gloves, when with that money he could buy
four beers at the California or
two drinks at our crack saloon.
Then again, if he is going to econ
omize why does he put 80 cents in suspend
ers when one suspender will do. Why I
haven't worn any of them dudes straps for
twenty years, see the fellow is sensible
in wearing unlaundered shirts. but I find
blue flannel better. Then $3.50 for six
neckties is money thrown away. "Plaoes
of amusements COSTS only $l2. 1t costs
me that to buy one round of drinks
at the Comique. I woulk like to get
on to the place where he buys that $40
overcoat. Mine cost $50 aud it amt very
good one either. Fifteen dollars for a
spring coat would buy stacks six of whites.
I wouldn't care to live on his Chinaman
board of 81 week and I reckon there
wasn't much furniture in his 81 room.
see the young man spends $3.50 year for
collars and cuffs. Now that is extravaganza.
l never used 'em in my life. don't think
the young man used much judgment any
how and guess $12 week was all he was
worth to the old man"

APPLES AS MEDICINE.
They Were Highly Thought of in tn
Early Days and Much Used.

They Were Highly Thought of in the
Early Days and Much Used.
The apple is composed of vegetable fiber,
albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid
gallo acid, lime and much water. The Ger
man analysts declare that the apple contains
a larger percentage of phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus
is admirably adapted to renewing the es-
sential nervous matter, lethicin of the
brain and spinal cord. Old Scandinavian
legends or traditions represent the apple as
the food of the gods, who, when they found
themselves growing feeble and infirm, re-
sorted to this fruit to renew the powers
of the mind and body. Judging by
these traditions, apples must have
been highly thought of in ancient
stood, says a writer in the Ladies' World.
The acids of the apple are of great use to
people of sedentary habits, whose livers are
sluggish in action; they eliminate from the
body noxious matters which if retained
would make the brain heavy and dull. or
bring about jaundioe or skin eruptions and
other allied troubles. Some such expert
ence must have led to the custom of taking
apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
like dishes. The malic acid OF ripe apples
either raw or cooked, will neutralize any ex.
| cess of chawky matter engendered by eating
| too much meat.
It is also the fact that such fresh fruits Al
the apple, the pear and the plum, takeI
when ripe and without sugar, diminish thu
acidity of the stomach rather than provok,
it. Their vegetable salts and juices ar,
converted into alkaline carbonates Whiol
tend to correct acidity. A good ripe. raw
apple is one of the easiest of vegetable sub
stances for the stomach to deal with, tn
whole process of digestion being com
pleted in eighty five minutes. A poultice o
rotten apples is said to be an excellent rem
edy for weak rheumatic eyes. In the Frencl
hospitals an apple poultice is applied to in
famed eyes. the apple being roasted an,
the pulp applied directly to the eyes-tha

HELIGOLAND.

The race Of English sentimentalists
to man are up in arms against Lord
Salisbury, the present premier, and the
advocates Of Spirited foreign policy
are invoking the shade of Beaconsfield in
their wrath at his degenerate successor
and once colleague. That the colleague
Of Disraei at the conference at Berlin,
whose return to England was greeted
by acclamations of "peace with honor"
should have SO far forgotten what was
due to the traditions of their country as
to surrender the island Of Heligoland to
Germany in exchange for the cession OF
Zanzibar on the east coast Of Africa,
seems to them beyond belief. Forced to
credit the evidence of their ears, they
are raising heaven and earth to excite
the spirit of Jingoism among the con-
stltuencies, but the constituencies re-
fuse to excite. To them Germany is not
a terrible bugaboo. For the ability Of
Bismarck craftsmanship and that of his
successor they had and have the utmost
respect, but they have not yet lost all
faith in the acumen of their own states
men.
The whole agitation is mere matter
OF sentiment and when practical, solid
advantage is in question, the English
people are in the right to throw senti-
ment to the dogs. From an impartial
standpoint, there can be no doubt
that each country is gamer
by the transaction. England loses
little island out in the North
Sea, too far away to constitute source
Of danger, with population OF 1900,
and an area OF $50 acres, enough for a
respectable farm holding. It is of no
earthly use to her; she has plenty of
other seaside watering places, and as a
rabbit warren it has many superiors.
Another item in the credit account will
be the saving of the salary of her Brit
ish majesty's representative on the
island. Even England's title to posses
sion will not stand prying investiga-
ton, for she stole, rather than took, it
from Denmark in 1907. On the other
hand, Germany can convert this sandy
midable naval post for the protection OF
her great seaports, and, so far as the in
habitants themselves are concerned, it
is probable that their only objection tc
the change in affairs would be their liza
bility to CONSUMPTION. Zanzibar, on the
other hand, in the possession of great
naval power like England, dominates the
East African coast and forms most i'm
portant stepping stone between British
possessions in India and Africa. Assured
OF such advantages by the TRANSACTION
, Lord Salisbury would have been guilt!
! Of an act of criminal folly in stirring VI
strife with Germany, and there would
seem to be little doubt that the British
house OF commons will uphold his action
if proposal for it's rejection is eve
forced to vote.

was talking to an old timer the other
day, and the question Of Helena's facilities
in the matter of hospitals came up.
asked him how the men without families
were taken care of when they were sick In
the days before Helena had hospitals.
"Well," he replied, ''you who are used to
these times may think we Jared badly, but
we did rot. If man was taken down and
confined to his cabin there were always
willing hands and open purses to aid him.
1t would surprise you to know what tender
nurses those rough miners made when oc-
casion demanded, They would lift and
tend a man as gently and faithfully as
mother her child, removing their
shoes so as to make no noise
in case the patient was asleep,
and quietly slipping out of the door to take
Whit of the pipe when occasion offered.
Then we were not without those little at
tentions in the sickroom which no one but
woman can give. l remember we'll the
little delicacies which money could not pur-
chase which these kind ladies would take to
the sick. Some of these ladies are still liv-
ing in Helena, and among them l recall
Mrs. w. G. Child, Mrs. O. B. Totten and
Mrs. Rumley. Those early day prospectors
are scattered all over the world now, but no
matter where you meet them, If they ind
you are from Helena. they are sure to in
quire about some of these ladies. No, we
had no trained nurses in those days, but the
sick did not suffer from lack of attendance;
and the question of mans financial abil'
ity cut no figure.'

have watched the work on the Montana
National Bank building with good deal OF
interest. At almost any hour each day you
will see dozen or more spectators on the
corners watching the placing of the great
blocks of handsome granite in their various
positions Under the capstone over the
entrance is block of rough stone which
has caused good many curious inqulriet
as it seems out of place. l happen to know
that the stone is waiting for the sculptor'f
hand. When the time comes the artists
skill will bring from the rough block fine
buffalo head. I am told that when erected
the old building was by far the finest and
costliest piece of architecture in all Mon
tana. The people stood around for hour
and gazed in wonder at the enterprise. The
croakers who are always crying down the
future of the city laughed at what they
called ''Col. Broadwater's foo]ishness.'
They told him that the buffalo would bt

that time. The coloners keen business
foresight knew better, and he now proposes
to place the buffalo before the new building
to remind the croakers of their prophesy.

ked failure.
1e most significant feature of the message
Its open vindication OF the Mckinley tax
bill, and the strong and decided ground
taken in the advocacy of the passage of the
"Force" bill. 1t has been said that 1.-THE
President is nothing if not obstinate" and
having already given his influence and
sanction TO this odious measure pending its
passage in the House of Representatives, it
is not at all surprising to see him now recon-
mendiDg its adoption by the Senate. The
hand writing upon the wall at the feast OF
Belshazzar was not palmer than that which
the Republican majority in Congress saw
written all over the political horizon when
the smoke of battle cleared away on the
morning OF the 9Th November.
twithstanding the popular verdict given
by the people, the President takes occasion
to urge the adoption of law which, aside
froBi.g evolutionary tendencies, is as bitter
bipartisan as it IS degrading and wickedly
sectional.
The indecent haste with which the Re-
publican Senate has aligned itself with the
President upon this obnoxious measure fur
nishes painful evidence that the Republican
representation il Congress has not yet awak.
encd To an intelligent appreciation Of what
the November election meant. Only few
hours had elapsed after the meeting of Con
gress ere caucus Of the Republican Sena-
tors was held, and it was determined that
the Force bill should be taken up and
pushed to a speedy passage, and in order to
make the adoption of the measure sure it
was further determined TO appoint a special
committee to confer with the committee on
rules, with view to the invention of some
rule that will stop debate upon majority
vote. We will watch and see how far pc,
litica madness will lead party which
seems insensble to the whitening rebuke of
people who desire the peaceful relation Of
the States.
