The Republican newspapers OF Mon
tana have another opportunity OF
proving that the Democratic party is
the enemy of silver. A Democrat en-
gagged in the dairy business in Aroos-
took, Me-, has been known to oppose
free coinage.-Butte Miner.

by the name OF Campbell, who has
been pulling at the public teat for a
long time, repudiates the free coinage

stand on. Gov. Boies, of Iowa, does
not indorse it; German is against it;
and at a recent meeting OF the officers
OF the Democratic national league,
held in Chicago, it was resolved to
make the tariff an issueinstead OF free
coinage. Here is unity and harmony
for you.

Says the New York Press: Do the
enemies of the protection Of American
industry ever stop to reflect upon the
continual drain of none from this
country to Europe? The summer ex-
cursionists spend, it is estimated, one
hundred millions of dollars over there
every season. All this money is taken
right out of American banks and Amer
lean business. But if. in addition to
all these millions. and the millions 60
ing over by mail to the relatives on the
| other side of residents here, we should
| adopt free trade, and buy from Europe
the clothes we wear, the hats and shoes,
and so forth, how vastly greater would
be the drain And how soon would
this country, like the Argentine Re
public, be like a sucked orange, in the
fist of European capital! To manufac-
ture here mean to keep money here
and to spend it here, and every dollar
in circulation is a contribution toward
the general prosperity.

Editor George Jones, of the New
York Times, died at Poland Springs,
Maine, on the 18th inst. He was born
in Rutland county, Vermont, and was
nearly so years of age at the time OF
his death. Together with Henry j.
Raymond, he established the New
York Times, one of the most infuen-
tial papers in the country. To his en-
ergy and honesty can be attributed the
exposures of the Tweed ring in New
York city. He obtained the evidence
of fraud in some manner, and Tweed
upon hearing of it offered Jones 5000
600 to suppress its publication. Fol-
his sturdy integrity in this instance the
dead editor is entitled to the admira-
ton of American people.

handed down an opinion in the case of
Mr.. MacKnight, editor Of the Helena
Journal, on his application for a writ
of habeas corpus to discharge him from
a commitment by Judge Mediation on
a charge of contempt of court. The
cour held hat after MacKnight had
assumed the responsibility for the ar
ticle in the Journal he could not be
forced to disclose the name of the old
Montanian. The cour also held that
the article was not an act of contempt
under the statutes of Montana. Mac
knight was discharged, and the costs
taxed up against Judge Mediation.

The recent session of court was the

provision requiring indictments to he

spects. Whileit will materially reduce

necessity for doing sc more than n C
"A year, when it might be well to draw
a grand jury for the purpose OF inves-
tigating the affairs of the county.
There are those who have a high re-
gard for the grand Jury system, but
we think it is more from long usage
and a reverence for established forms
than from real merit. 1t is a cumber-
some, unwieldy, and dilatory process
to reach the ends OF justice. 1t is an
inquisition where not infrequently
prejudice, animosity, spite, and self
interest control the decision of some OF
its members. Itfrequently amountst to
a trial of a case through the sitting OF
evidence. Even in the investigation
of county affairs time is limited, and
its work necessarily superficial. We
believe the grand jury, except in some
particular instances, is a useless ap-
pendage to court proceedings, and
that the ends Of justice can be as sat
isfactorily reached through informa-
ton.

THE CATTLE MARKET.

A good many cattle have been placed
on the Chicago market in the past
two weeks, and there has been a de-
cline of from so cents to Sl.OO per
hundred. Although the latest dis
patches report the market a little
stronger, prices are O going up with
a bound. Our cattle growers should
be in no hurry to reach the market,
as beeves will get flesh rapidly now
that the grass is maturing. Cattle
should be hard in flesh and in prime
condition to get top prices. No doubt
our beeves will bring better prices
than the natives if not shipped too
early. keenan, & sons circular OF the
9TH inst. contains the following:
With the dressed beef houses and coolers
all filled killers could get along without
buying a steer If necessary, but they did
buy them at a heavy decline-all the way
from 80 to as cents lower than last week.
some brands showing a decline Of 81 per
hundred since the same day last week.
The range cattle are not quite ripe enough
yet, and shippers are not buying many of
them. We think next week the live cattle
shippers viii buy largely of western range
cattle, and in 30 days range cattle will be
sought for and have the preference over all
other grades OF cattle. By that time the
fat will be hard and the condition SO good
that shippers and exporters will be our
best buyers, and we venture to say that
any particular brand that has been here
the last few days will not be sold SO low
again this season. The whole cause OF the
recent decline is just this: The range cattle
are not matured, and the market was not
ready for them. They are twenty to thirty
days ahead of time. The corn-fed natives
were not quite all marketed, and if West
erns had been held off thirty days this de-
cline would never have happened, and we
would have all been happy. We look for
lighter receipts of range cattle next week,
as well as all other grades, and better
prices.

Says Justice Bateman Il Co.'s las

Says Justice Bateman Il Co.'S last
wool circular:
Foreign markets for wool are steady and
unchanged. Wooden goods have been
chea pened there by reductions in wages. in
the price OF raw material, and by lessened
profits, to such an extent that importers
are astonished to find they can still sell
imported goods at the same figures as pre-.
vious to the passage OF the Mckinley bill.
The increased duties imposed by that
measure on many kinds OF wooden fabrics
have been more than offset by the lessen
ing OF foreign cost, and America has been
saved great disaster by the timely passage
of the Mckinley bill, at a time when for
eign wool and manufactures thereof were
declining in price.
1t will be seen that the passage of
the Mckinley bill has saved the wool
growers of this country from coming
in competition with the low prices
prevailing throughout the rest OF the
world.

He Must Apply.

Commissioner Carter in a letter,
which is herewith published from the
New Northwest, effectually settles a
point in which many people OF this
county are Interested:
SIR:-I am in receipt of your letter of the
oath ultimo. wherein you call attention to
the recent circular of this office providing
for giving notice of application for permits
sion to cut timber on the public domain,
and submit the following case for solution
"A man living east of our town cuts dur
ing the summer months in the mountains
east OF us, from o to zoe cords of wood.
In the winter following say. this wood is
hauled down, and sold to the citizens OF
the town for fuel. In this way the citizens
are principally supplied with fuel. Query:
Is your circular intended to cover such a
caseP That is will a man cutting wood in
this way for local sale and distribution be
required to give the notice, and make the
application mentioned in your circular >"
In reply, l have to advise you that your
case does not come within the purveiw of
section 4. OF the circular OF May 5th, 1891.
and the wood chopper who proposed to
GO INTO the mountains and promiscuously
cut timber for sale as fuel to the citizens OF
any town or city within the state, will have
to conform strictly to the provisions OF
the circular aforesaid, and make formal
application for permission to cut as therein
pro in sections 6, :, s.
For your information and guidance, |
