Montana again cut an important figure in
the Great American Derby, run at Washing
ton Park, the big event which our own Spo-
kane captured last year. But while Ben
KinRsbury failed to be first across the line,
the people of Montana will not be disap-
pointed as long as the colt took place. He
was an untried one. Nobody, even his
owners, knew just what he could do. twas
his first race, and the fact that he got
even place is q big card for Kohrs &
Bielenberg, Of Deer Lodge, his breeders,
and B. G. Kingsbury, of Butte, his owner.
In trial few days ago Ben Kingsbury
went the Derby distance in 2:37, and had
the weather been propitious for fast racing
there 10 every reason to believe that the
colt would have made the winner get down
below 2:35. Ben Kingsbury is full brother

Kohrs b Bielenberg have every reason to
feel proud of the stallion which heads their
stud.

The President and His Intrepid Son Seem TO

HELENA, MONT, August 4-President Har-
rison's message on the lottery evil has created
great interest in Montana. owing to the fact
that Russell B. Harrison's papers have hereto
fore been used almost exclusively by the lot
terry companies to advertise in. The last Legis-
lature passed law making the publication in
State paper of lottery advertisement misde-
meanor, and in consequence the more reput-
able papers have since refused these ADVERTISE
ments. Harrison's paper. however. paid no at
tention to the new law, and the State officials
made no attempt to restrain him. Recently
the Independent called on the State officials to
do their duty, drawing attention to the differ
ence Of opinion between the President and his
son on the lottery business.
Harrisons paper replied that the Independ-
ent was angry because it could get none Of the

June q. from its advertising firm, as follows:

of the city, would in the country give him
cottage with garden Of his own, cheap
milk and vegetables, pure air, unta1ed

intelligence in country life and common
schools. Everything in the country is in
favor of the development Of sturdiness and
intelligence among labor; everything in the
cities enhances the difficulties of the i'm
provement which is the common right Of all
laborers.
Yet this nation is permitting this transfer
of its bone and sinew from the farms to the
lleys and tenements of the cities, to 60 on
without check or even criticism. No one
could lnterpose any obstacle to the natural
and legitimate growth of cities. But the in
auences which exsggerate the concentration
of population within the cities, that could
earn better and more successful living in
the country, should be jealously watched
and put under the closest restraint

BoaR,s SPARTAN DETERMINATION,

The Hon. George F. Hoar has attracted
considerable attention to himself, or has had
it attracted for him, on account of the re-
ported ardor with which he is willing to
sacrifice the mill operatives of his own State,
in pursuit of the grand purpose of passing
the Federal election law. The utterances at
tributed to Senator Eoar in the Senatorial
Republican caucus take the following lofty
and Spartan strain:
While favor passing the tariff bill, sooner
than that this Congress should not pass
the Federal elections bill, would prefer TO see
every manufacturing establishment in Massa-
chusetts burned to ashes and the people Of
that State required to labor in callings in
which they would not make more than so cents
per day and be reduced to live on goldfish.
The Roman sternness with which Senator
Hoar would be willing to see the people of
his State reduced to fifty cents a day and
Goldfish has had no rival since the days when
Artemus Ward declared that the war must
20 on, even if all his wife's relations had to
be placed in the fore front of battle. Still,
the severity of his determination may ap-
pear somewhat mitigated when we reflect
Goldfish may not be very much o! punish
ment. The investigation of the Senate
Committee on Labor few years ago brought
out the fact that the trouble of the mill
operatives at Lynn and some other places
was not living on Goldfish, but the difficulty
of getting Goldfish to live on, some of them
having been reduced to the unsatisfactory
variety of fish that is thrown into the garb-
age heaps because it is spoiled.
To people of this class the condemnation
to a diet of Goldfish might not be an alto
gether irretrlevable calamity. People who
live on terrapin, truff1es and tenderloin
steaks might find it more severe regimen.
Senator Hoar's declaration would have had
q greater significance If he had declared
that he himself would live on Goldfish. rather
than that the Federal election law should
not pass.

WILLING TO RENoUNCE 1T.

The renunciation of her chance of sue
cession to the Austrian throne by the Arch
duchess Maria Valerie. in order that she
might marry the man of her choice, is held
up as an example of the opposite sort to
that of American heiresses who are some
what urgently buying foreign titles and
generally getting cheated in the deal. 1t
is true that her course will look rather novel
to the title-hunters; but it must be remem-
bered that this especial remuneration was
that of a succession in which she had
slight chances, while her position and title
will not be any the worse for marrying her
Archduke.
Nevertheless there is a certain significance
in the fact that the members of the imperial
family of Austria are generally willing to
renounce their chances of succession. The
Archduke John abjured his chance of sue
ceeding nominally that he might go into the
merchant navy, but really, il is gossiped,
for more tender reasons. The Crown Prince
renounced his chance with revolver on &C.
count of an illicit love affair, while Valerie
does the same thing in more regular form
for the sake of more legitimate love. The
Hapsburgs of old were not accustomed to
throw away thrones for the sake Of
love. Is the present generation of
that imperial family more romantic. Or
have they become advised of the fact that
with the empire divided into two incongruous
Governments and with Russia growing on
one side, and Germany dominating the
TeutonIc policy on the other, the Austrian
Crown will in the next generation be very
uncomfortable sort of headgear?
There does not seem to be any keen desire
on the part of the younger Hapsburgs to
mount the throne. Perhaps if things 60 on
as they have been doing, some bonanza king
or railway dictator can gain the summit of
his ambition by buying an Austrian i'm
perial title.

CONCENTRATION IN CITIES.

A very remarkable indication of the con-
centration of population in cities is
furnished by the statement that at the be-
ginning of the century there were 25 per-
sons living in the country to one in the
cities and towns. Now it is asserted that the
ratio shown by the census Of this year will
be that OF one person in the cities and towns
to three in the country.
This remarkable change is to certain ex-
tent accounted for on the ground that the
introduction OF the railway and the inven-
ton of lsbor-saving machinery have re-
suited in concentrating the manufacturing
industry in towns and cities, and that i'm
proved agricultural methods make it possi-
BILE for much smaller number to produce
agricultural supplies than formerly. But
this does not by any means tell the whole
story. 1t is Legitimate result of some of
the corporate methods, BY which better ad-
yantages are given to concerns located In
the large cities, to concentrate their manu-
featuring industries which might under
normal conditions have been carried on
more successfully in conntry districts. In
addition to that, this statement has a serious
significance in connection with the deser-
tion of farms in the Eastern States.
To properly estimate the serious aspect OF
this concentration of population in the
cities, it is necessary to remember that the
condition Of the large mass Of population in
either city or country, is that of the common
laborer. 1t takes very little consideration
to perceive that the condition of the common
labOrer In the country is far preferable to
that of the same class in the cities. The
same wages which will barely yield him an
unhealthy tenement house garnet and Sc

THE BABIES OF THE WORLD.
The Cradles of a Single Yenr Would En-
circle the Earth.

The Cradles of Single Year Would En-
circle the Earth.
From the st. Louis Republic.1
1t has been computed that between 86 000, 900
and 81, ,O00 0Oo babies are born in the world each
year. The rate of production is. therefore,
about 20 per minute, more than one for every
beat of the clock. With the one-a-minute
calculation every newspaper reader is familiar,
but it is not everyone who stops to calculate
what this means when it comes to a years sup
ply. 1t will, therefore. probably startle good
many persons to find on the authority of q
well-known hospital writer that, could the in
fants of year be ranged in line in cradles,
the cradles would be overfowing and at the
same time extend around the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter in a still
more picturesque light. He imagines the
babies being carried past given point In their
mothers arms, one by one, and the procession
being kept up night and day until the last
corner in the twelfth month had passed by. A
sufficiently liberal rate is allowed, but even in
going at the rate of 20 minute the reviewer at
this post would only have seen the sixth part of
this infantile host after they had been passing
him at the rate of l. 200 an hour during the
entire yeari In other words, the babe that had
to be carried when the tramp began would be
able to walk when but mere fraction Of its
comrades had reached the reviewers post and
when the years supply of babies was drawing
to a close there would be rearguard, not of
infants. but of romping 6-year-old boys and
girls.

THE LOTTRRY's LIEN.

The talk in Washington is that the Presi-
dents message and the bill introduced in
the House relative to the exclusion OF lot
terry literature from the mails will come to
naught The effort to check the abomina-
bic Louisiana State Lottery commands very
little sympathy in Congress. No Senator
or Representative has now the hardihood to
champion the lottery's cause openly, but
THE DIsPATCH's correspondent in WASH
ingtOn reports that the opposition to the bill
recommended by the President and Post
master General Wanamaker is none the less
formidable on that account. The reason
given for the unwlllingness of Con-
gress to take up anti-lottery leg
islation is that Congressional elections
are at hand; and statesmen who wish to re-
turn to Washington with the Filty-second
Congress are afraid of the adverse influence
of the lottery's agents in their districts if
they dare to pass law which will injure
the lottery's scheme of plunder. Some per-
tinent paragraphs of history confirm this
view Of the situation.
This is disgraceful enough in all con-
science. But it is on q par with great
deal that the Fifty-frst Congress has done.
By commission and omission the Congress
now sitting has many sins to answer for.
But after the urgent recommendation of the
President, which had the plain Endorsement
OF the best element in both parties, the fall
ure of Congress to touch the anti-lottery
law will have to be accounted for to the peo-
Pile The voters may exact greater penalty
from their unfaithful servants than that
which the lottery agents now threaten to re-
quire il they are not obeyed.

A sudden Stampede OF the Summer Guests
at Caledonia Springs.
ESPECIAL rELKeaAn TO THE prsPATcH.I
OTTAWA, ONT. August 4-The fashionable
hotel at Caledonia Springs has for years been
regarded as the Saratoga Of Canada, where.
during the summer months from all parts of
the United States, as well as from all points in
the Dominion, the elite and fashionable world
gathered to enjoy the benefit to be derived
from the use of the famous sulphur springs. A
great sensation was caused at this popular re-.
sort this morning among the hundreds of
guests when il was discovered by medical
gentleman visiting there that in place Of sui
phur baths the guests had been given water
from hydrogen gas well. The scene that fol-
lowed the expose and the manner in which the
guests had been imposed upon may be better
imagined than written.
Within an hour 80 of the boarders. the greater
number Americans, called at the office and set
tied their bills. and a stampede followed. The
hotel gained its popularity through advertising
their sulphur springs" and the beneficial re-
suits that would follow the free use Of sulphur
baths. 1t was first discovered that the pipes
leading into the bathroom had been laid from
the gas well, and not from the sulphur springs,
as advertised, and this clew was followed up
with an analysis Of the water. The hotel COM
pany state that they were afraid the sulphur
springs would give out, and 30 drew the supply
