The Way Out.

Montana Mining Review: A miner said
the other day if it came to the worst he
would defend his property with his gun
against the railroad company or any one
claiming under it. He forgot that one man
could not fight the United States, and that
when the declsion has been given to the
railroad company, the forces Of the United
States will rut it in possession. But if We
are looking to fight in tho future, why are
We careless and Indifferent now? Why do
We let parties nominate men who are in
imical and Indifferent to our interests, and
who. for party advantage, are ready to yield
or compromise our most vital interests?
Are We blind to the signs Of the times2

How Gar Reed whipped and subju-
gated the northwestern silver men is
told by himself in a Washington dis
patch to his Portland newspaper. Reed
is mad because his candidate for col
lector Of Portland was not appointed by
President Harrison. The dispatch says:
In talking with his friends yesterday
morning the speaker did not mince his
words in denouncing the president for his
his language. He said no one knew beside
himself and Mr.. Harrison the sacrifices he
had made in behalf of Harrison's admins
tration. He had undertaken campaign in
the northwest, and had aided many men
who were in favor of tho free
coinage Of silver to secure their
election in congress. When this question
was up before congress, not fewer than
twenty five free coinage men insisted on the
passage of free silver bill. Mr.. Harrison
bluntly stated that il such bill should be
passed he would feel II incumbent on him
to veto it. He appealed to Mr.. Reed, al

this was q conspiracy on the part of the

The various places of business we're

in great force.
The general markets were well patron
lied to- day, and the supply was sufficient
for the good demand, for dealers had
made extra preparations for to-dey's
trade. At the close of business the
markets were well cleared, and prices
remain firm and steady for all commodi-
ties. Eggs have taken another rise and

Judge Barker, prominent Iowa pol
itican and Alliance man, who is attend
ing the bedside of his invalid sister, said
to your correspondencer in regard to the
recent political landslide in the North:
cit was the Mckinley bill that cut the
great Republican forest of our state.
The force bill burned the brush and the
Alliance machinery worked up its tim
Der into Democratic votes. While most
of the minor offices of the state were
elected on the Alliance ticket, they
are all strictly Democratic. There is
no good feeling towards the third party
move in my state. They will vote with
the Democrats in '92 If they are given
any showing on the platform. In re-
gard to the speakership of the next
house, we fully realize Mr.. Mills just
claim to the office, but under the pres

A VITAL QUESTION.

What Shall be Done with Lepers Found
Within tho United States-Legislation
Necessary.
WASHINGTON, Nov, 13-Dr. Ford, the
president of the Philadelphia Board Of
Health, recently wrote to Surgeon-Gen-
eral Hamilton, OF the Marine Hospital
service, asking what could be done by
by the Government in the matter of the
segregation of lepers found from time to
time in this country. Dr. Hamilton re-
piled as follows:
Iqulte agree with you as to tn proprlety
OF the segregatlng of place for lopers, and
SO advocated in my address rs chairman of
the section on State last May. There Is
great diversity of opinion among our own
people as to what should be done. Conse-
quently such an institution would have to be
for the voluntary treatment of such lepers
as were sent from States not having laws
providing for their segregation, and invol-
untary of them from those that have spe-
cific laws under the National law to prevent
the spread of contagious diseases from one
State to another. / suppose a regulation
can be framed to prevent the lepers from
travelling, but great expense would be en-
tailed, and there Is now no law that would
entItle me to restrain them from their per-
sonal liberty except at the quarantine sta
tions. We can prevent lepers from coming
into the United States, as we understand
the regulation, but we can take no action in
regard to those already here, except In tho
general manner indicated, except in case OF
aliens.
have no doubt that IL the boards OF
health so desire, Congress can be induced
to pass a law providing for an institution
wherein the unfortunate cases can be treat
ed and humanely cared for, but 1t will re-
Quire legislation to enable any thing to DO
done In this regard.

ing the old row had reopened. They
surrounded the soldiers and guyed
them. Lieutenant Granger, in COM
mand, ordered the soldiers to charge
twice. Fierce fighting followed. in
which the soldiers used guns and the
students stones and clubs. Irving Dem
nison, the son of Superintendent Denni-
son of the Toledo Smead Heating
System, died from injuries. Two
more are likely to die. Several
soldiers were hurt with stones thrown
by the students. Granger had no right
to call out the troops or order the
charge. The students are wild with
rage and will kill Granger if they catch
him. No arrests have been made as
yet Citizens sympathize with the stu
dents. A movement has been organ
lied among the tudents to punish the
murderers If the law does not.

Seal Depredatfons stin Going On in

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14-Reports have
reached here of continued depredations
on the seal island rookeries by British
vessels. In one day last month six Brit
ish vessels engaged in catching seals
were counted from st. George Islands.
One vessel came so close to the island
that the guards on duty there fired
on it, and those on the vessel
returned the fire with such effect that
the guards were driven into the interior
of their stockade. United States wA.
ships ran alongside OF a number Of
poaching vessels the past summer and
fall in Behring sea. The vessels had
sealskins on board, but no attempt was
made to capture them The fact that
diplomatic negotiations were in progress
in Washington prevented the United
States vessels from confscating the
skins.
