rain descended. winds blew through the
forecastie of the Great Admiral and
the whiskers of the Great Admiral's

the port of New York would not be

the four million punches a drug in the

outlook for patriotism, hilarity and

FIGHT IT At HOME.

Butte's railroad problem is serious
but 1t is not complicated. The North
ern Pacific has treated the largest ship
ping point on its line with uniform I'M
fairness. There was a time when Butte
had 10 endure this gross injustice, but
that condition no longer exists.
Plenty Of shippers in Butte are will
ling to withdraw all their patronage
from the Northern Pacific company,
agreeing with the STANDARD in the
declaration that the railroad which will
not carry Butte's passengers shall not
haul Butte's freight. You may call
that boycott. retaliation. discrimina-
ton, or by any other name you please
IL defines the policy which finds favor
with Butte's business men. They were
polite TO the railroad people for years,
because that is their habit in business
relations. But Mr.. Oakes and his asso-
ciates never responded to that sort of
treatment, and Butte is fortunately in
q situation which doesn't compel her to
be obsequious any more.
The STANDARD does not strongly ia
vor the suggestion of the Butte Miner,
that a committee be sent 10 New York
to meet the railroad magnates. They
know the situation, they need not be
instructed regarding their failure to
deal fairly with Butte. The men who are
trying To break down Butte today are
the men who inaugurated the railroads
unfriendly policy nine years ago, and a
delegation from Butte could tell them
nothing new.
In our opinion the place to settle this
matter is right in Silver Bow county.
IL the business men stand squarely 10y
their own convictions and their own
interests, the railroad managers will
come trooping TO Butte fast enough.

lief for this. One is to continue the
present production and wait for the de-

duce the area in wheat. AS an ex-
pedient for the time. he would cut down
the production 20 per cent. This idea
has been advanced by other writers. but
it is impracticable, as slight investiga-
ton of the subject will show. 1t is
doubtful if the production could be
kept in the present ratio of increase Of
consumption. The only hopeful direc-
ton of Improvement is in adding to the
facilities for reaching the worlds mar

The recent death Of Mrs. E. c. Iverson, OF
this city, wife of our esteemed fellow citizen
of the ST. Croix Lumber company. has filled
our hearts with the deepest sorrow and re-
greet. A loving wife and sincere friend has
been cut off in the blossom of womanhood,
a victim to the fell destroyer who spareth
neither age or sex. The deceased lady

ever. did not present or cause any serious ap-
prehensions until a few days since, when
under medical advice and her avn earnest
desire, an operation was performed by skill

her. She passed away to another and better
land, leaving disconsolate, loving husband
to mourn her loss, and host of kind and
sympathizing frien ds and relatives who join
with the household mourning, leaving the
bereaved husband to Him whose fiat cannot
be questioned by mortal, but the memory OF
the lost one will long remain green in the
memory of her sorrowful, loving relatives
and friends. JAMES STARKEY.

THE WAY OF 1T.

American flour is sent to England. thence
to Spain and thence around to Cuba, the cost
of the flour increasing with each reshipment.
If the Cubans can stand this sort of thing,
other people have little reason to complain
of it.-Philadelphia Record.
1.-THE American wheat grower has a
right to enter complaint in this case.
If the English and Russian wheat
grower can ship direct to Cuba, while
the American farmer has to seek the
roundabout way of England and Spain
to get his product into the Cuban mar
ket, the advantage is all on the side OF
the Englishman and the Russian.
What is the Republican congress do
ing to help the American wheat grower
out of this dilemma?
1t is enacting the MCKINLEY bill,

A CHALLENGE.

The Republican state platform is
already prepared. The bosses have had
it under careful consideration for sew
eral weeks, and it is now cut and dried
for the convention next Thursday.
Characteristic of Republican states
manship in Minnesota. the platform is
constructed Oh the plan of the nigger's
coon trap, which was set "to cotch 'em
both a-comin' and a-goin'."
The platform that the convention will
promulgate next Thursday will blow
hot and cold with the same breath. 1t
will be all things to all men without in
tending to be anything in partic ular. 1t
will be straddle lore and it, bearing
the legend, "Pay your money and take
your choice"
One section Endorses the HARRISON
administration, while another section
condemns it. One section applauds
the policy pursued by congress with
reference to the tariff, while another
section declares in favor of tariff re-
form. In only one thing is the platform
stable and consistent. The banking in
terests, of which the nominee will be a
notable representative, will allow no
straddle on the currency question. 1t
will oppose silver coinage, but will be
filled with meaningless platitudes relat-
ing to all other issues.
While we know that our challenge
will not be accepted, nevertheless the
GLOBE issues one to the Republican
leaders of this state.
We challenge them to construct an
honest party platform embodying hon
est Republican principles. This ought
to be an easy matter for a Republican
state convention to do, yet it is some
thing that Minnesota Republicans will
not do.
Inasmuch as Republican leaders in
this state are inexperienced in making
honest platforms, we will aid them
with few suggestions. An honest Re-
publican platform would indorSe-
President HARRISON;
The MCKINLEY bill;
The silver bill;
The federal elections bill;
The disability pensions bill.
1t would commend
Gar REED;
Mr.. MCKINLEY;
And the five Minnesota congressman
who voted for MCKINLEY's bill and suS-
tanned REEDS autocratic rulings.
1t would demand
Increased wool duties;
Service pensions;
Repeal of the liqnor and tobacco tax.
1t would applaud
The prevailing method of buying
nominations;
The prostitution of state patronage to
| personal ends;
The worship of the golden calf;
The reign of CORPORATIONS and the
wheat ring.
Such a platform would be honestly
Republican. and we challenge the Re-
| publicans of this state to stand on it.
