Carter Harrison, who recently pur-
chased the Chicago Times, has the rep
ntation of being a very smooth dema-
gogue. Nothing could strengthen the
accusation more than his attack on
Mayor Washburn for suppressing the
meeting of anarchists in Chicago, re-
Gently. According to Harrison's view,
anarchists should not he molested
unless in the act of carrying their
threats into execution. 1t was this
weak and trucking policy that caused
anarchy to flourish under the man whs
nov finds fault with Mayor Washburn
and finally result in bloodshed, wher
restrictive measures were brought tc
bear. The Times has been a vile, sen
sational sheet for forty years and there
is little chance for improvement under
Carter Harrison.

The mining congress which was in
session at Denver last week was unani-
nous on the question of the free coin
age of silver. Speeches were made by
R. C. Powers of Arizona, Judge Morse
of Colorado, and Martin Maginnis of
this state. The latter denounced Gov.
Campbell, of Ohio, for not standing on
the platform upon which he was nom-
mated. Resolutions were passed pro-
testing against the confiscating of min
eral lands by the Pacific railway
companies; also against the alien act
in so far as it operates to exclude the
investment of foreign capital in west
ern mines.

The Independent is of the opinion
the Democratic house will frame and
pass a new tariff bill. OF course such a
bill would meet its death in the senate,
so it would only be a waste of valuable
time. The business inter ests of the
country would be disturbed by such an
attempt, even though done only for
political effect. The people will not
favor any more meddling with the
tariff at present, and the Democracy
would only drive another nail in its
political coffin by wasting time in a
fruitless effort. Congress is not the
place for manufacturing campaign

Eastern Montana Cattle Shipments.
The following is a summary OF the cattle

This, at an average of eighteen cattle to

from the records in the offices; therefore

A pleasing feature of our stock inter
ests is the number of small owners who
have this year made shipments to the
Chicago markets. Several years ago
the ARGUS prophesied that it would not
be long before our ranchmen would be
able to pool and ship their cattle to
market as the rangemen have been
doing. Owing to the fact that we have
no railroad and a limited market for
the products of the soil, there could be
no better solution of the depression
among ranchmen than for them to
turn their attention to stock raising,
even in a feeble way. With small be-
~ginnings their beef herds have grown
while prices ranged low until now,
when they can be disposed of to good
advantage. 1t is hard to find an indus
trious ranchman who is not gath
ering a few head of cattle about him
with an eye to the future. We see no
reason why ranchmen should not form
an association or pool every year and
ship from ten TO a hundred head each.
A great many sold to local buyers, and
in some instances got the best of the
bargain, owing to a fiuctuating mar
ket, besides relieving them of all trouble
in shipping. OF course this is a matter
of individual preference and judgment,
the important thing being 10 have beef
TO sell. Considering the brief period
in which this county has been settled
and the time required for cattle to be.
come marketable, u ranchmen have
made good progress. With perfect Sc
curity from losses in winter season and
a strong and growing market, there is
promise of good returns in the future
and an obliteration Of the hard times
that must attend the raising of cereals
alone. Make an effort to send a few
beeves to market every year..

Il Alum Poisonous.
Halls Journal OF HEALTH

lHalls journal OF Health.l
This question has caused "A good deal OF
discussion. Alum is used by many bakers
to whiten their bread. enabling them to use
an inferior flour. 1t is most extensively
employed as a cheap substitute for cream
of tartar in the manufacture of baking
powders. 1t has not been considered i'm
niediately dangerous; although if contin-
ued dyspepsia and obstinate constipation.
But the fact that many cases OF poisoning
ave occurred from the use OF alum, puts
the question in a more serious aspect, and
prudent people will exercise caution in the
selection OF baking powders.
Under what conditions then, does this
substance-formerly used only for mechan-
ical or medicinal purposes-become poison
Gus? They are certainly obscure and at
present we can only surmise what they
may be. We suspect that the cause exists
in the individual poisoned; some peculiar
ity in the constitution producing a morbid
change in the secretions OF the stomach.
with which the alum combines aud pro-
duces an active poison; or the secretions
may be healthy, but in unusual proper
tions, and that these less or greater pro
portions in combination with alum consti-
tute a poison"
For example, two parts OF mercury and
two parts of chlorine for calomel, which is
not poisonous, but change the proportion
to one part of mercury and two parts OF
chlorine, and we get corrosive s~ublimate,
which is a deadly poison"
Then again we know nothing OF the con.
stitutional peculiarities. Why is it that
one person can eat all kinds of green fruits
and vegetables with impunity, while the
same course might cost another individual
his life? One person can handle poison ivy
and sumac without being in theleast affect
ed; another is poisoned if he approaches to
within ten feet of them. Out of a family
residing in a malaria district, some of the
members will suffer half the year with feveI
and ague, while the other half will enjoy ex
cellent health during the entire year
Foods hat are wholesome to some per
sons are actually poisonous to others
This is especially true OF some kinds ofish
There is no safety in taking alum into the
stomach, as it is shown to be always iniur
ious, and often dangerous
