1T has been rumored that number of
dissatisfied democrats propose to fall
back on the musty dodge of placing a
"split" ticket in the field in the hope of
dividing the democratic vote and allow
ing the republicans to slip into office
through a rear door. Forewarned is to
be forearmed and gentlemen whose
names are used in this connection should
discourage the scheme. 1t will be a
recommendation for defeat in future
democratic conventions for any demo-
crat to allow his name to be used on a
split or citizens ticket.

THE prompt conviction of Reginald
Birchall, who was charged with the
murder of Benwell, is creditable to the
methods of administering justice in
Canada. The verdict had to be based on
evidence that was purely circumstantial,
and there were those who thought that
the prisoner might escape. The links
were too strong, however, and the jury
returned verdict that the facts seem to
warrant. Murder will be deemed all
the more dangerous business in Canada
after tins famous case.

He does this by placing the liver or
heart of a deer, freshly torn from

front of a snake, within easy striking
distance. The snake protests against
the presence of the object, and
quickly sinks its fangs into it again
and again. In a few seconds the
heart, or liver, will take on a purplish
black hue, so quickly does this poison
effect il. When the Indian thinks
the receptacle has drawn all the ven

left there until it is almost ready TO
drop to pieces from putridity. II the
Apache feels like testing the deadly
qualities of this frightful object, he

calls his squaw, and makes her cash

SIL TER-LEAD ORES,

The Salt Lake Tribune says about the
assertion of the Leadville smelters that
the country does not furnish enough lead
ore: "Ihe assertion that they cannot get
lead-ores for fuxlng unless they can have
Mexican ores without paying duty, is
simply a flat falsehood. they can obtain
all the ores they need from Utah by pay
ing just a living price for them. The
trouble is they do not mean to pay any
such price if they can help it. They are
figuring for themselves without the
slightest regard for the country or for
the men who work. There are scores of
lead mines lying idle in Utah because
there Is nothing left after the miners
and transportation companies are settled
with. The whole point is in getting ore
from a country where labor costs next
to nothing, instead of paying living
wages to American miners"
Montana will endorse what our Salt
Lake contemporary says. There are bill
lions OF tons of silver and lead ore in the
Barker, Neihart and Castle districts. 1t
IS mostly combined with silver which Is
all The better. Let us develop our own
mines before we go to Mexico for silver
or lead.

TWENTY-FIVE millions are appropriate
ed in the river and harbor bill. This is
an immense sum for the purpose, but if
well expended the county need not com
plain. There is a marked inequality in
the amounts allotted. The Mississippi
river receives a total of $3.s37. 900. The
Missouri receives only 100000. No
money is appropriated for the improve.
ment of the river above Great Falls.
This policy is a narrow-sighted one, for
the whole river would bentit by the
prudent expenditure of money on the
Important portion between the source and
this city. The river might aver be rem
dered navigable to Townsend by i'm
provements at the Half-breed rapids over
which the Fern managed to sail on her
trip to Great Falls. There is good pre-
cedent for this work inasmuch as Major
Maginnis secured an appropriation for
the purpose, which was wisely expended.

CoLMAN's Rural World, whose editor is
w%ell-known and esteemed here, has these
timely remarks: "Trees properly set
along the highway are an ornament, and
add to the beauty of the country and the
value of farms. They should not be so
thick as to prevent mud drying; but set a
few rods apart they will not, in any way,
be Objectionable on this account, and
their shade will be appreciated by the
summer traveller. Trees, evergreen, set
far enough away from a dwelling not to
darken the light, will temper the winds
and cause less fuel to be required for
heating. Norway spruce, the common
spruce, pines or hemlocks will afford
this protection. The evergreens give a
cheer to winter. They make homes for
the songsters."

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
MINNESOTA
pNESDAY. APRIL 2s. 1850

Hon. Loren Fletcher should receive
a cordial welcome here as a leading
citizen of Minnesota, who is well able to
discern and appreciate the wonderful re
sources of Great Falls. Mr.. Fletcher as
pires to represent lis district in congress
He would have been nominated in 1884,
but he believes that he was cheated out
of the nomination at the republican
convention. This will enable him to IN
derstand how the Silver Bow fraud was
manipulated and defended. But leaving
politics aside, Loren Fletcher, G. M.
Loring. R. B. Langdon, Matt Walsh,
Freeman Lane, Major Haskell, Tom
Lowry, Alden j. Blethen, Col. W. S.
King, Preston King and M~innesotians In
general, will always receive a hearty
welcome here. Democrats and republi-
cans, prohibitionists and mugwumps will
unite in greeting them. They can
say of Minnesota as Daniel Webster said
of the Bay state: "Mr. president, | will
enter into no enconium on Massachusetts.
She needs none. There she is. Look at
her and Judge for yourselves" There is
no nobler spectacle on the earth's surface
than the State of Minnesota. 1t is a
state of grand cities and great industries.
In soil and climate it is doubly blessed.
Its shores are laved by an inland sea
and it gives rise to the Father of Waters
which combined with our own grand
Missouri, forms the greatest waterway
III the womb hf"..'I i-I-.s.y ,..s turn-l
all these endowments to the best account
Minnesota is a state OF homes, churches
and schools. Her people are %virtuous,
temperate and chivalrous. 1t was with
good reason that William Fl. Seward,
predicted that freedoms last stronghold
would be found on her soil when in
Berkeley's words the last act shall close
with the closing day.
Montana will always welcome the
state builders of Minnesota and in that
term we include the hardworking sons
of toll, who have subdued her forests as
well as those whom fortune has called to
higher station, as captains of industry
and enterprise.

And Power gets the long term. Mon
tana republicans will believe there's a
frowning providence in it all. Sanders
will disregard the lines and the puncta-
ton of certain famous verses, so as to
make them say: "There's a divinity

indeed-tough on Sanders, tough on Mon
tana. tough mn the rannhlicano, hasseriy
tough on Power, who has got to sit be-
hind Turpie during the weary months of

mighty glad of it. 1t is making fraud
odious and then rubbing it in, and that is
