THE HOUSEHOLD.
Confidence and Contentment.
ADDIE RoUNTREE.

o, what a glory doth this world put on
For him who goes forth with fervent heart,
Under the bright and glorious sky,
And looks on duties well performed
And time we'll spent as days depart,
For him the wind, ay the falling leaves,
Shall have a voice. They shall ever breathe
Unto his soul eloquent teachings.
The solemn hymn that death lifts up
Unto all shall he so hear that he may 60
To his long resting place without tear.
But with soul exalted shall approach the grave
Like one born onward by heavenly themes,
Who wraps the drapery of his couch about him
And lies down to pleasant dreams.

WHY AM PROTECTIONIST
The Illinois Senator Gives Cogent Reason
His RaIiaf

The Illinois Senator Gives Cogent Reason 5
for His Belief.
First.-Because as a result in large de.
gree of our protective tariff system the
United states has become one of the for
most nations of the world
Secondly the policy of fostering
American industries the development Of
our manufacturing interests have been
secured; the inventive genius of our PEG
pie have found field; American labor has
become the best paid, and consequently
our laborers the best housed, clothed and
fed; and the wonderful development and
progress of this country in all that make a
people great, have elected the admiration
of the civilized world.
In view of these facts which are well
known, believe in such protective tariff
as will secure reasonable protection tc
American labor and industry.

No better evidence of the w~ide-awake,
go-a-head, enterprising, progressive spirit
which %actuates the citizens of Cascade
county in general and those of Great
Falls in particular can be given than is
shown 10y their votes on the court house
and the several bridge propositions yes
terday. While the opponents of some of
these propositions were active at the
polls and presumably brought out their
full adverse vote the friends Of the meas
urcs seemed content to leave the decis
ion of the several questions to the cool,
calm Judgment Of the people. This ac
counts for the light vote cast. for. if the
supporters Of these several propositions
had exhibited the same industry and
perseverance which were displayed hy
the opposition II is reasonable to presume
that the majoritlcs would have been
largely increased.
However, the result of the election is
as gratifying to the friends of progress in
the city and county as it rs Gathering
to their Judgment. If intending inves-
tors in the city entertained any doubts as
to the public spirit Of our people, or Of
their confidence in the future of the
place a glance at the majoritics cast for
the several propositions will dispcl them.
As we said at the outset Of this article
no better evidence can be given Of the
enterprise and progressive spirit Of the
people of this county than is manifested
by the election yesterday.

Soon after Carter was appointed land
commissioner it was reported he had
offered Johnny Read, of the Inter Noun
tain, a nice, easy little office at Washing
ton, which the former had at his disposal
in his department. About that time
Read left for the east and many sup
posed he would remain at the national
capital during the rest of Harrison's
term. But now it is stated that Russell
Harrison has interfcrcd in the matter
and spoiled Johnny's prospects. Some
color Of truth is added to the report
from the fact that Read has not missed
an opportunity during the past year or
so. to burn the journal and roast Boos.
As Harrison is a partner of the latter in
the journal. he has unquestionably
knocked the plum from Reads extended

VIEW ~IHNTGRlTIDN LAW

The following is a summary Of the
new immigration law which went into
effect the LIST of this month. 1t will be
seen that the law itself is all right as far
as il goes. but great difficulty will be cX-
perienced in enforcing il. The trouble is
the undesirable character of an i'm
migrant cannot well be determined until
after his arrival here andhe has obtained
a footing in the country. The law at
tempts to purify the stream at its mouth
instead of at its source. The fault lies
in the fact that immigrants are not re
quircd to provide themselves with cert
ticates from American consuls abroad,
vouching for their character or suita-
bility as intending settlers Of the country,
Such a provision would prcventth land.
ing of any but those who would be ac
ceptable in any community. The law
falls far short of this. Here it is:
It rcaflirms the laws previously enacted
for the exclusion of lunatics, fclons. pau.
pcrs. polygamists, contract labOrcrs, as.
sisted immigrants and persons with con.
tagiuus diseases.
II provides for the more vigorous II
forccmrnt of the alien contract labor law
of 1885,.
1t declares that immigrants coming
here through the solicitation Of advcrtis.
ing agents in Europe shall be treated as
viulHturs of the law: and it prohibits
,.,..li and ra,,G,Artnti.p ..A,,I,ppinl
from encouraging immigration to this
country.
II provides that the names and ma
tional ~ of all immigrants shall he re-.
ported ON their arrival, and that the i'm.
migrants shall be promptly inspected by
authorized agents empowered to decide
upon their right to land.
1t provides that state and municipal
authorities may exercise such jurlsdic
ton over immigrant stations as may bt
necessary for the public peace.
1t provides that all immigrants VIII,
come in violation of the law shall be I'M
mpdidtely sent back on the ship tina
brought them here; but, should that b,
impracticable, they may be returned a
any time within IA year after their arrival
Any alien who may become a public
charge during the first year here. shal
be sent back to the country from which
he came.
1t provides penalties, by fine or impris
onment, for the violation of its terms.
1t provides that the federal court'
shall have full jurisdiction in all causes
arising under it.

And now comes the report from Wash
mgton that Land Commissioner Carter
will probably succeed Nable as secretary
of the interior department. There may
be much truth in the report and then
again there may not be. but of one thing
there can be no two opinions, and that
is: that Tom Carter is a lucky man.
When he stepped Jff ii Northern Pacific
train at Helena some six on seven years
ago. a young attorney without fame or
prestige, a dollar or two in his pocket
and a change of linen in his grip he little
dreamed of the brilliant future before
him. IF the truth were known it would
doubtless be found that Mr.. Carter
| about that time, was seriously engaged
in solving the problem of how to get the
money for his first months board.
Thomas got it, however, and not long
afterwards got the appointment as adj
ministrator for some estate.
When the Hon. w. A. Clark was nomi'

the democrats no prominent republican
could be found to take the nomination
against him. Sanders wouldn't look at it,
Power wouldn't touch it and Mantle
wouldn't take it. Several other names
were suggested and rejected and finally
some one thought of Carter. 1t was
said he was a pretty smooth, oily talkcr
and if he were beaten, as il was supposed
he would be, the defeat wouldn't injurC
him and the old war horses and leaders
of the party would still be in the
ring to fall back upon when the
political skies wore "A more encouraging
look. Carter took the nomination and
went into the fight like a sure winner
while at the same time. he thought he
would be so deeply showed under that
his political resurrection would never b'
achieved. But through a combination
of circumstances over which he had M

other candidate who had previously beer

CROp AND GRASS OUTLOOK.

The recent rains have done much to
assure an excellent grass crop on the
ranges of northern Montana. The winter
snow fall melted SO gradually that near
ly II quite all Of its moisture was
absorbed by the earth, leaving it in
splendid shape for subsequent rains. The
ground is o pretty thoroughly soaked
with a fine reserve of moisture held by
the clay subsOil which underlies the rich
loan of the surface. As far as the
ranges are concerned there is really left
no cause for anxiety.
The outlook for farmers is also tiatter,
ing in the extreme. Their lands were in
fine condition for early sowing and the
weather has been very favorable for the
growth of the young grain. The rain
has given il another impetus which with
one good fall in May and June will in
sure a fine crop Of cereals and vegetables
On the whole the prospects were never
better il Montana for an excellent out
put of grasses, grains, and vegetables.

now the prime factors IN political con

are the levers which raise me

their positions stepping stones to for
