MEAT At RETAIL,

1t is very evident from the prices of
meat in New York that the Montana
stock owner do not get the lions share of
the profits. There porterhouse steaks
are 20 cents per pound and sirloin 90 cts.
In St. Louis where the butchers are sup
piled in part from Texas, porterhouse
steaks are 20 cents and sirloin 10. In
Chicago the prices are 10 and IA cents re-
spectively. Lamb sells in New York for
80 cents..and in St Louis for Is cents. The
prices quoted do not satisfy the New York
butchers. They talk of increasing the
price, but they show no inclination to pay
any more to the stockmen who raise the
cattle. They must look out for them
selves or they will be preyed oil by the
dressed meat packers and retail butchers.

The strong Butte telegram which was
sent to Tom Carter is now explained. 1t
appears that Wednesday last Carter
voted in the republican caucus against
the bullion redemption clause in the sill
yer bill. This was proper, but Mckinley
carried his point. Then Reed, Mckinley
and other secret enemies of silver re-
solved to rush through the "caucus" bill.
They threatened and bullied dissatisfied
republicans, warning them that it would
be wise for them to keep right in line.
Next day the house decided by a close
vote to go ahead with the Mckinley plan,
which provided that the question be dis
posed Of on Saturday, that is, before the
west could have time to make itself
heard. The national silver committee at
| Washington we're astounded at learning
that on this close vote "Mr. Carter was
paired with Boatner OF Louisiana until
June 90" The silver committee as were
all the other earnest supporters OF silver
were amazed that Carter had paired at all
or had done so with a democrat who
would have voted for silver. The COM
mittee sent a telegram to the Ore Pro-
ducers Association at Salt Lake, urging
them to bring strong pressure to bear on
the senators from the silver states ito
hold up the tariff bill until a satisfactory
silver bill is passed." In this telegram
they said "Carter lodged the question
Yesterday" This telegram was repeated
to Butte and caused William A. Clark
and others to send the strong dispatch IN
which they called on Carter to stand by
silver.
1t is said that Carter secured another
pair, this time with a republican, but If
he did he must have cancelled all his
"pairs" for he voted twice or silver
questions on Saturday.
Until Carter explains, people will as
sumo that as the telegram says he
"dodged" on Thursday SO as lot to op-
pose openly Mckinley and Reed. His
conduct corresponds very closely with
that which he pursued in supporting
Reed, a stealthy enemy of silver, for
speaker.
The fact is that the republicans sold
out the silver interests. If Carter and
others we're resolved to pass a good bill
they could have done so by combining
with the democrats. But rather than
bring reproach on their party the so
called silver republicans, WINGED under
the party lash which Reed and McKin-
ley used with so much effect and fell into
line.

The question was asked Col. Malone,
the stock agent of the Milwaukee, by a
Helena reporter, as to whether the cattle
shipments were. going to be large this
year. The colonel said "there won't be
much if we don't have m ore grass than
there is now" He admitted, however,
that the late rains we're doing a wonder
full amount of good, and that there was
still time for the grass to improve. And
that If it did improve, as was probable,
the stock shipments would be larger than
ever before. 1t was suggested that nut
ton was astonishly high priced at present.
Colonel Malone shook his head and pre-
dicted that many Of his friends who we're
Just now buying high priced sheep would
sincerely regret it before long, because
the present market could not hold for
long. Buy when low and sell when high
is an old and tried maxim.

THE silver bill passed in the house of
representatives includes the offensive
bullion redemption clause, the Butte
Inter Mountain to the contrary notwlth-
standing. The Standard cannot guess
why Its evening contemporary should
have taken large type to display the as
sertion that it was passed "without the
bullion redemption clause" We cannot
see where good will come of this meas
ure. If Window and Reed and McKin-
ley and the rest Of them felt that, on
grounds of political expediency, they
must do something to conciliate the
SILVER barons" their simpler course
would have been to amend section 5 of
the act of February, 1878, and raise the
minimum monthly purchase from ST.
100000 to $4.5OO,OO Then everybody
would have understood it and the coun-
try would have realized that the republic
cans in power were willing to buy more
Of a metal whose money qualities they do
not respect, merely to keep the big silver
producers quiet--Anaconda Standard.

MONTANA is large and important enough
to have a defined policy. That policy
should include close business relations
with Canada. This is the natural market
for that vast region west of Manitoba and
east of the Rocky mountains. The Great
Falls g. Canada railroad will give Mon
tana direct access to that country, render
ing it needless to make a long railway
journey by way of either Winnipeg or
Vancouver. Our merchants ought to be-
gin to cultivate business with the Cana
dams. The Mckinley bill may be in the
way with its needless duties on cereals,
eggs and cattle, but despite that much
business ought to be done between Great
Falls and her Canadian neighbor.

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS

About the Great JOIN Robinson how
Which Exhibits at Great Falls sulv 2.
If there Is any truth in the old adage
of, "What everybody says must be 3d."
then we are to have a great show in our
city on Wednesday, July 2. "a bigger
and a better show than Barnum's," is
what the Portsmouth, Ohio, Blade says.
"Far less p%retentious, yet far more merit
ious than the Barnum show" IS the way
the Evansville Journal expresses its views
of the Robinson show. Both of the big
shows have been witnessed by our peo-
pie and of the two shows we sincerely be-
lieve that Robinson show is the best and
gave better satisfaction than Barnum's."
1t Is comments like those above that most
overview in all the leading journals. All
say that Robinson's show has no superior.
Remember this big show will exhibit at
Great Falls Wednesday, July 2.

Referring to the next campaign, the
Independent says that "New York and
Indiana will be the battle-ground again."
1t will undoubtedly be more essential
than ever for the democrats to carry
them in order to counteract the republi-
can electoral votes that will be expected
from the Dakotas and Washington. We
are convinced that the democracy will be
so strong IN 1892 that it a exercise the
widest freedom in its choice of candidates.
The convention ought not overlook Mon
tanas favorite sons.

Two trains each way, daily, between
Great Falls and Sand Coulee will promote
trade between the two places and enable
nelghboring ranchmen to come to town
without much loss of time. Before long
we hope to see Sand Coulee trains come in
laden with milk, butter and garden pro-
duce for the Great Falls market. Places
for miles around Sand Coulee can benefit
by such traffic.

IT does not bode we'll for Seattle that
the Northern Pacific has acquired control,
If it really has, of the incompleted rail-
road known at the Lake Shore & East
ern. The Northern Pacific will be in no
hurry to complete a railway that would
practically parallel its own. The news
comes with the absurd statement that
'this deal practically shuts out the Great
Northern from connection at Puget
Sound" Seattle has already granted
right of way to the Great Northern which
can have its direct line to Puget Sound.

The Inter Mountain continues as dumb
as IN oyster relative to reduction of the
duty on copper in the KcKinley bill.
Why does not the Butte board of trade
make itself heard? 1t may be said that
we export copper and feel measurable

same may be said of the cereals, eggs,
and cattle on which Mckinley placed q
high duty. The copper industry enrlches
the country and should be exempt from

Tho Whole State Delegation Opposed to
His Candidate for Postmaster.
Washington special to the Minneapolis
journal: Prince Russell is still cock of
of the federal appointment walk in Mon
tana. Sanders and Power, and Congress
mar Carter, comprising the Montana
delegation, are regarded in Washington
as being fairly good legislators, but in
seeking to have their friends appointed
to office In their state, they are not IN at
all with the young scion of the house of
Harrison.
The fight between the Montana dele
cation and President Harrison and
Prince Russ, has reached an interesting
stage. If the president decides to ap-
point Mr.. Wheeler, the chum of the
prince, as postmaster at Helena, the Mon
tana delegation will carry the fight into
the senate, the idea being to prevent the
confirmation of the princes postmaster.
The chances are very bright that the de-
legation will succeed. The entire coun-
try is becoming very weary Of Prince
Russell's power over the chief executive.

A Miles City special to the Independ-
ent of yesterday says: Authoritative
reports come in from the Cheyenne
agency that the bucks have left their reg
ular camps and are gathering in small
camps of from 10 to rs, in the timber,and
are acting in a most insolent manner to
settlers, firing at houses and making the
most threatening demonstrations. Ranch
men are bringing their families in
to the settlement. Cattle are be-
ing shot down by the Indians through
pure malice, as no parts Of the animals
are used for beef, 10 having been shot
down in one bunch on Otter CT elk. So
alarming were the reports today that Col.
Swaine, commanding at FortKeogh, tele-
graphed to department headquarters, and
this evening orders came to send one
troop of cavalry and two companies of
infantry to the Cheyenne agency. The
troops start in the morning under COM
mand of Capt. Hoolten. Citizens have
telegraphed to Gov. Toole for arms and
