ENTS.

The closing opera OF the Carleton engage
ment was sune to a small audience at
Mings last evening. This was not becnnse
of lack of appreciation of the many com
mendable features Of the company, but
rather because of the unusually high prices
which prevailed. Helena will not pay high
prices except foe stars of the highest mag
nitude. The Gondoliers is one of Gilbert
Inc Sulliyan's cleverest compositions. It
is bright in dialogue, replete with tuneful
melodies and exceedingly attractive to all
lovers of light opera. 1t was finely sung by
Mr.. Carleton and his company. Mr.. Garlic
toms rich and sympathetic baritone was
heard to fine advantage, while his manly
appearance and good acting added greatly
to the general effect OF his performance.
Miss Clara Lane was as bright, attractive
and winsome as ever. Mr.. Bigelow's
comedy was greatly enjoyed. The opera
was we'll staged, the costumes were notice
able for bright colors. The company will
be welcomed by large audiences when they
again visit Helena.

jew Jake Liable to Keep His Leg aud Get
Well Also.
In the baggage car of the west bound
Great Northern train yesterday was a cot
on which rested, as comfortably as could
be expected under the circumstances, Jake
Harris, otherwise known as Jew Jake, one
of the principals in the Great Falls shoot
ing affair on the occasion Of the return of
the Helena excursionists from Neihart.
With him was DIR. M. Rockman, who went
the advisability Of taking off Jew Jake's in
consulted with Drs. LonReway, Adams
and Reed. The four divided
even on the question Of amputation. DR..
Lonepway stood with DR.. 'Rockman in favor
of saving both life and limb. The wounded
man himself expressed a desire to keep
himself intact and also to get away from
Great Falls. After forty-eight hours, dur
ing which he continued to improve, it was
decided to bring him to Helena. On his
arrival here he was taken to st. Peters
hospital. DR.. Rockman states that the
bone of the right leg above the knee is frac-
tured, and s%plinters have been knocked off
the side by the ball. There is. however, a
chance for the BON to knit without short
ening the leg, as the splinters, which have
been taken out, are from the sides and not
from the body of the femur. If nature
keeps up it's work the doctor thinks the
fra ctured bone will knit. There is no
necessity at present to amputate the log
and probably will not be.

TT WILL BE HARRISON.

The esteemed Inter Mountain seems
to think that MI. Blaine will be nomi-
mated because he would be stronger in
Montana than any other republican
candidate. But the republicans are
after bigger game than Montana. The
election will be determined by the vote
of New York and Indiana. The man
most likely to carry those two states
will be the nominee of the republican
party. Blaine lost both these states in
1884. He has always been peculiarly
weak in both. There is no reason to be-
lieve that he is stronger in either at the
present time than he IA eight years
ago. Mr.. Harrison, on the contrary,
carried the two states, and won his cleo
ton over the strongest candidate the
democrats could have named. The
more the republican bosses think
it over, the more clearly will they
come to see the unwisdom, as Lincoln
put it, *of swapping horses while you
are crossing the stream" Next week
Mr.. Harrison's anti-silver message will be
out. It will win for him the applause and
support Of New York. The party in that
state will stand by him in the national
convention. Mr.. Depew himself has
said it, and no man knows the sentiment
of the state better. OF course Mr.. Har-
rison cannot carry Montana. Nobody
expects him to do so. He will be beaten
in this state by Cleveland or any other
man the democrats may nominate.
Montana has only three electoral votes,
and the republican leaders are after
t%hirty-six.

BLAINE SHUT OUT,

Judge Scott, the talkative brother
in-law of the president who has recently
visited Washington, says: Harrison
and Blaine will not both 60 before the
convention. There is an understanding
between them to that effect. They are
in perfect accord and will pull together"
The Philadelphia Record quotes this
remark and adds: at is a puzzling and
withal a somewhat exasperating situa-
ton to the camp followers VITO know
not how to pin their cap or shout
huzzas. If Russell Harrison's paper,
which knew so much of Mr.. Blaine's in
tention and fealty some. months ago,
could shed a few more CLEANS of knowl-
edge on this subject a mystified and
waiting land would feel deeply grateful
for the small favor" Our Philadelphia
contemporary is not a close reader of
the Helena organ. The latter has al
ready declared that Mr.. Blaine must
stand aside-that every principle of
manhood and honor forbids him to take
q nomination-that in fact he pledged
himself on entering the cabinet not to
be in Mr.. Harrison's way for a second
term. Then. too, the Helena organ,
speaking of course for the administra-
tion. called attention to the fact that
Mr.. Blaine would be ~treacherous to the
party if he did not take the stump in
Ohio. 1t left him the other alternative
of acknowledging to the country that
he was a sick man. MI. Blaine demon
onstrated that he was not sick by going
back to his duties in Washington, but
he did not go to Ohio, and therefore he
still rests under the Journals imputa-
ton Of lukewarmness to the republican
cause. So far as MI. Harrison can con-
troll matters, Mr.. Blaine is barred, and
the Record should make a note of it.

MILLS AMI CRISP.

The New York Suns persistent mis-
representation of Mr.. Mills as an alb
solute free trader discredits the
integrity of that newspaper. Mr.. Mills
has never given utterance to any senti-
ment that warrants such q statement.
His telegram to the New York World of
last Saturday succinctly states a plat
form on which the entire democratic
party stands. He said:
would try, if I had the power, to make
the tariff low for the United States. I
would except from taxation all raw mate
rial. Why? Because We could then pro-
duce cheaper than any other people, and
sell in markets now closed to us by reason
of the the higher cost which the tax on ma
terial makes. That would give vastly more
employment to our labor, and consequently
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-12-02
higher wages than any proposed system q

higher wages than n proposed system q
taxation.
The frat question the legislator must ask
himself ia, how will 1t affect employment Of
American lahotp
Having rendered free from taxation all
raw material the rates on the finished gooda
should BIO reduced to that figure that will
bring the requitod revenue and no more.
This reduction OF rate will BIO a reduction
price to the consumer and largely increase
home consumption and home production,
and again enlarge the demand FOR employ
ment.
This is substantially what l have said all
over the country.
The Sun affects to support Mr.. Crisp
for speaker ostensibly because he is
more satisfactory to it on the question
Of tariff reform. But here is what Mr.,
Crisp said in his speech on the Mckin-
Icy bill:
Modify the existing tariff laws: reduce
taxation; permit some %easonable comnetl-
ton in the market; destroy trusts; accord
equal rights to all and special privileges to
none. DO these things ard you will help
him. Give the farmer free salt. That
would help a little. You give it to the
fisherman on tho coast of Maine md on the
coast OF Massachusetts; why not give it to
the farmer2 Give him fee bagging, in
which the farmer of the west sacks his CON
and with which the farmer of the south
wraps his cotton. Give him free iron ties,
with which in the south he binds his cotton
bales and with which in the west he bales
his hay. Give him some reduction on his
hata, on his woollen clothes and on his
cotton goods. In that way, and in that
way only, can you benefit the great mass Of
the farmers Of the south mi west. Yon
increase the price of their products
by protective tariff duties, but you can de-
crease the cost of production inc of living
by reducing the tariff on those articles used
to make their crops, and on those articles
OF necessity which all families must use.
This is identically Mr.. Mills platform.
The Sun cares nothing for Crisp but it
wants to use him to defeat Mills, in or
that it might claim the cause Of
reform had been beaten in the
party.

CENsURE of Gov. Hill for not resign
ing the office Of governor to take his seat
in the United States senate next Mon
day is unjust and unfair. The only way
in which the governor can resign is by
giving official notification to the legisla-
ture when that body is in session. The
new legislature meets in January and it
would be ridiculous in the governor to
call the old legislature together for the
purpose of handing in his resignation.
He will take his seat in the senate in
January and he will not have occupied
it long before our republican friends
will wish he hadn't taken 1T SO soon.

Fell in II Spasm in Court.

Henry Wilson was charged before Judge
Sanders yesterday with disturbingthe peace
by utterlng vulgar and abusive language.
Wilson is Il foot peddler, and claimed that
the articles sold by him were of his own
manufacture and therefore he was not
liable to pay Il license. Complaint had been
made to the police that when he was not
permitted to enter houses for the purpose
OF displaying his wares, or when any rebuff
was administered to him, he became abus-
I've and you'd predict that untold calami-
ties would befall the people who displeased
him. He stated that his father had ex-
pended large sums of money in his cduca-
ton, that he was a good chemist, and the
articles he WAS selling were manufactured
by him as the result of his knowledge of
that science. He appeared to be somewhat
cratic mentally, and his antics and asstic-
ulntions before the court wore sad to see.
Under the cross-eyamination of the court
be was thrown into a spasm, and he was or
dered to be taken before tho district court.

The czar of Russia and the Siamese king
are among the monarchs who are alleged to
ride bicycles. The empress of Austria has
a ladies' safety.
Don Dickinson is called the Jenness Mil
Ter of politics because he is charged with
the parentage of Michigan's bifurcated
style of electoral vote.
President Harrison is fond Of the theatsr
and has become one of the most regular
first-nighters in Washington. He appreci-
ates a good play and enjoys a hearty laugh
at a humorous hit.
Lord Salisbury. as prime minister of Eng
land, has seen seven consecutive lord
mayors days, and in doing so he has beaten
the record of more than sixty years, or
sinca Lord L~iverpool's time.
DR.. Phillips Brooks cannot be persuaded
to wear a bishops ring or any other iewelry
on his fingers. Tn new bishop of Massa-
chusetts preached to his old congregation
in Trinity church, Boston, last Sunday.

George Washington Custis Lee, who lives
so quiet n life in Lexington, Va, where he
is president of Washington and Lee uni
versity, is a tall. brown-bearded man,
straight AZ a soldier, instead of being bent
like a scholar, and SO reserved and modest
in his tastes that the near approach of d
fair young girl is actually said to call
bushes to his cheek. He is fond of lectur-
ing on applied mathematics.
Like most men of brains, DR.. Nelson, the
newly elected bishop of Georgia. has a fad
that interests him even more than his life
work. Tho bishop is fond of Woodworking,
at which he has become an expert. Theo-
dore Hilton was recently noted as taking
great interest in carpentry, and Edward
Everett Hale is said to have q workshop
near his study. There was a French king
just before the revolution-Louls XVII

nized kingly diversions of those days.

Spring Care of Cows.

On account of the high price of feed cows
VIII be turned out to grass this spring earlier
than usual
1t must not be forgotten that the early
bite OF grass is not very nutritious.
While it increases the quantity of milk it
will not add much to the quality.
SO we must give the cows some dry feed
until the grass becomes more mature
II the ground is soft it will be better not
TO let the cows remain in the field all day.
they can fill up in half a day and then
they will not tramp the pasture so much
If they are allowed to pasture during the
latter half of the day they will be better
satisfied than they would be if they were
turned out in the morning and brought in
at noon.
Besides the grass will be dryer.
They will soon learn the hour for going
out and will not fret until that hour ar
riveS.
If not then let out promptly they will
begin to worry
Don't forget the salt when the cows are
on grass; they seem to require more salt
than when on dry feed.
If you have two pasture fields let the
cows partially Craze one then put them into
the second and turn the calves and heifers
into the first.
The pasture fence can be put in order
now, before you get so busy with spring
work.
Or it can be done later, while YOU are
planting corn and potatoes.

An investigation as to the cause of the
dying wheat crop in Kansas reveals the fact
that the trouble is not due to the Hessian
fly or chnch bug, but to the Farmers al
lance. The secretary of the state board OF
agriculture and Chancellor Snow of the
state university have just returned from
trip through the counties in which it had
been reported that the Hessian fly had
made an appearance. They visited 30
damaged wheat fields in Russell county,
and found in each instance that the wheat
had been drilled into wheat or corn stubble,
without any previous preparation of the
ground. The same they profess to be true
in Seward, Stafford and other western
counties. A further investigation into the
personal habits of the owners of these dead
wheat fields reveals the unpleasant fact
that as members of the alliance they attend
ed nearly all the alliance picnics last fall,
listening to denunciations of eastern Shy
locks and learning how to avoid payment
of their mortgages, while their nelghbors
were blowing. So far as could be ascer-
tanned by personal inspection and inquiry
every field of wheat that was properly pre-
pared is in excellent condition and promises
well. There is a small green bug, species
not known, smaller than the chinch bug,
to be found in some of these fields, but the
most damaged fields have no sign of it, so
that the secretary of agriculture unhesitat-
ingly declares it is not the cause of the
failing crops. He declares bad farming
to be the sole cause, although himself an
alliance man.
