Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1891-07-30

There was unveiled at Lexington,
Virginia, on July 81, the thirtieth an
niversary of the first battle of Bull
Run, a bronze statue of 'Stonewalr''
Jackson. The days exercises consisted
of a parade and an Grafton by General
Jubal A. Early, poems by General
Thomas p. Simms, and the unwilling
of the monument by little Julia Jack
son Christian. General Early made a
very able and eloquent address, but
could not avoid pouring out a little
melted la va, as follows: "L.et me con-
clude by saying, and let every honest
hearted Confederate who fought brave
ly in the war, say, If L should ever
apologize for any part or action taken
by ME in the war, may the lightning of
a righteous heaven blast me from the
earth, and may | be considered as
spawn of the earth by all honest men,"
These words from a sincere rebel
could be excused, but when uttered by
the President of the Louisiana Lottery,
a gambling scheme that has robbed
thousands of people of ~hard-earned
cash, his utt erances seem tinctured
with dishonesty, and lack moral force.

Governor Merriam, of Minnesota,
with a large number of representative
citizens As his seconds, has knocked
out Fitzsimmons and Hall in the first
round. The Athletic Club, of st. Paul.
having built a new club house at an
expense of some $4,000, had secured
these two bruisers for the opening of
the place, expecting TO realize enough
to liquidate their Indebtedness. On
the day before the fight was to take
place q meeting was held to protest
against its coming off, at which 5000
people attended. A large number,
headed by Bishop Ireland, waited on
the governor and asked him to use his
authority in preventing the fight. The
governor, after thinking of the matter
over night, issued a proclamation in
accordance with the request, and Hall
and Eitzsimmons will have to seek a
new battle-ground. While it is a little
rough on the Athletic Club, the men,
bers should have had a higher concep-
ton Of sport than to open their resort
with a contest between two brutes.

Less than ten months ago the Demo-
cratic press was ~denouncing Mckinley
and high prices. Mckinley and his
bill was more to be dreaded than a
famine or pestilence. He had brought
ruin to the country-he was next to a
demon. Now these same editors speak
of him as a strong man, a popular man,
and the chances for his success in Ohio
very good. How strange that such a
man could hope to win. Yet it is the
same Mckinley with his great measure
not yet a year old. He has not changed.
The Democratic chameleons of the
press are the ones who have changed
their color.

In the Helena Journal contempt case
Judge Mediation released Business
Manager Boos and City Lditor Bowie
but held Editor-in-Chief MacKnight.
The latter made an explanation of the
Objectionable article in the Journal but
would not divulge the name of the
"Old Montanian," who gave him infor-
nation. The irate judge committed
MacKnight to the county Jail until such
time as he was ready 20 disclose his
informant's name. District Attorney
Weed, as counsel for MacKnight, ap-
piled to the supreme court for a writ of
habeas corpus, which was granted, and
MacKnight was released on $500 bail.
The writ was made returnable on Mon
day, and what action the supreme
court will take in the matter remains
to be seen, but the probabilities are
MacKnight will be released and Judge
McHatton's wounded feelings allowed
to heal with the lapse of time.

The Montanian hits the nail on the
head in the following: During the last
tariff campaign the Democracy claimed
that to continue or raise the tariff on
imported wool would be to rob the
many to enrich the few. Now, when
the tariff has been raised and wool and
wooden goods are cheaper than ever,
they say to the woolgrower: "See
what the Mckinley bill has done for
you. You can't get as much for your
wool now as you did last year, although
the quality is much better" By this
admission the party stands confessedly
in opposition to its past views, giving
Cleveland and free wool" a terrible
black eye.

The following rank statement from Z. J.
Hare, OF Trenton, Texas, will be Of interest
to many of our citizens. MY little boy
was very badly off for two months with di.
arrhea. We used various medicines, also
called in two doctors, but nothing did him
any good until we used Chamberlain's
Collie. Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy,
which gave immediate relief and soon cured
him. ! consider it the best medicine made
and can conscientiously recommend it to
who need a diarrhea or collie medicine

The cattle market still remain
strong with prospects of improvement
rather than Of decline. Without beeves
are in prime condition there will be
very little advantage in hurrying them
off to market. Keenan, & Sons, in their
circular Of recent date, say: 1.-The
grass is fine all over the western ranges,
and cattle are getting on flesh very
fast. Our advice to shippers would be
to make your cattle fat before starting
them to market. Prices may be lower
later in the season, but the price of fat
cattle won't be any lower than the
price of poor ones now, and you will
get the benefit of the weight"

The four greatest sheep counties in
the state are Choteau, Meagher, Cas-
cade and Fergus, and the seven great
agricultural counties are Missoula,
Choteau, Custer, Lewis and Clarke,
Gallatin, Meagher, and Park.-Fort
Benton Review.
1t will be news to a good many to
learn that Lewis and Clarke and Park
counties are classed among the great
agricultural" counties Of the state.
Even Choteau is not making very great
strides in tilling the soil. The editor
of the Review is probably not aware
that Fergus county has more strictly
agricultural lands than n other
county in the state.

The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for the
production of everything that will con-
duce to the material welfare and comfort
of mankind are almost unlimited and
when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the only
perfect laxative known, as it is the only
remedy which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or. in fact. at any time
and the better it is known the more pop-

The free trade editors have nothing
to say about the rise in prices owing to
the Mckinley bill. The fact is there
has been a decline in many articles of
manufacture since the passage of the
bill. 1t is said God hates a prevaricator.
If such is the case these editors should
spend the rest of their days pleading
for mercy instead of votes.
