BILLIARDS LATEST.

Mr.. Shelby Eli billiard, the philoso-
pher, editor, and all-round genial gentle
man who presides over the destinies of
the Red Lodge Picket, has come to the
front with another paper which he has
christened the 'Stinking Water Pros
pector." The name is expressive, If not
%euphonious, and indicates the practical
mind of its publisher and editor. The
paper will be devoted to the interests of
the Sinking Water country, a mining
district, some ten or twelve miles distant
from the place of publication. The pro-
fessor proposes that the P~rospcctor shall
be Independent in politics, and this is
the way he advertises his intentions:
We recognize but one God and are no
mans man, and will not be a lacky for
no political cross-road charlatan or tin
horn statesman in Montana, as we are
built on a trucking or brass collar
hypothesis. If there are any heavy
weightor pudding headed political scrubs
in this state who think that they can in
timidate or bulldose us by scurrilous re-
marks or base ~fabrications, they are bold,
brilliant, blooming, meteoric, and pict-
uresque liars in every mark of the road.
There is something so decidedly to the
point in the above that we question
whether Charley Warren or even San
ders himself dare approach the Pros
pector with a proposition looking to the
political support of its most candid yet
and uncorruptible editor. But
the professor realizes his peculiarly en-
.arrassing position, as the subjoined will
show:
We are politically in a most abomin-
predicament, and as it were are
between the two fires of a
battle. The willy and falcon
eyed members of the democratic party
call us a ignorant republican chump
and say that we do not know enough to
iced chicks. Then the dove-like and
members of the republican
retaliate by calling us a democratic
and assert that we would sell
birthright for a painful of buzzard
dollars.
Notwithstanding the poor estimation
n which the gentle-eyed professor is
leld by leaders of the two great political

them will voluntarily incur his enmity

4 NOTE OF WARNING.

AS may he seen by reference to the 10
cal columns of this issue, MI. Fred H
Putnam, the accomplished representa-.
tive of Hecht Bros. & Co., of Boston, has
placed northern Montana wool growers
under obligations to him by calling their
attention to the presence of that terror
to sheep men spear grass. The grass
has not yet shown itself generally upon
the ranges, but it is getting there as fast
as wind can scatter the seed and wet
seasons favor it's growth. 1t was known
several years ago that the pest was
growing in certain localities upon the
ranges, but its very limited quantity ex-
cited no apprehension upon the part of
sheep men. But it seems it is spreading
and unless it be exterminated none of
the ranges will be free from it in a few
years.
The TRIBUNE would sound a note of
warning to w~ool-growers everywhere.
This enemy to their industry is insidu-
ously working itself upon their ranges.
Look out for it. Pull it up by the roots
as fast as it makes its appearance and
burn it. Fight it wherever found. If
you don't it will mean a loss of from
three cents to five cents per pound on
your 1eeces and the ultimate abandon
nent of sheep husbandry for wool alone.
It may be eradicated by a combined.
effort upon the part of wool
growers, or at least confined to undesira-

'anges, will run out the better feed and

IT is hoped that when Secretary Rusk
takes charge of the weather bureau on
the LIST proximo he will exhibit a more
accommodating spirit toward the west in
the publication of weather forecasts than
Mr.. Greedy has shown. This great en-
pire toward the setting sun should have
a little of the weather pie as it is being
passed around by the government. Peo-
pie are as liable to get as wet or cold or
hot in this portion of Uncle Sans do
main as those of the east, and would
like to know when they may expect those
disagreeable changes in the weather.

DRESS OF JUDGES.

If federal judges must wear gowns,
why not extend the requirement to all
judges of state supreme and district
courts? And why should not each Judge
choose the color and style of his gown?
1t cannot be claimed that the long robes
add dignity to the wearers. They are
simply insignias of their high office,
which many would doubtless willingly
discard. But if one must wear a gown
we contend he should be permitted to
consult his own taste in the style and
makeup. For instance in warm weather
he may wish to don a Mother Hubbard
with white socks and slippers and his
hair let down. Such a costume would
be airy and cool if it did not impress the
beholders with that awe which the pres
ence of a full costumed, rotund Judge is
supposed to inspire in the average man
Imagine, if you can, the ravishing figure
His Honor of blessed precinct 81 mem
DRY would cut in a breezy Mother Hub
ouio, hio opCCtuClCo vi Ills HOSe, Ills
ambrosial locks loosely hanging and his
flowing whiskers inviting the toying of
gentle zephyrs.
And as approaching winter and rheu-
matte pains suggest a change why should
he not inclose his manly form within the
warm embrace of heat engendering
corsets and overlapping fannels, while
around all a neatly fitting dress of heavy
woolens be worn? Why not, we ask? If
the judge must conceal his sex beneath
a gown why not let him choose the dress
in which to hide it? A Mother Hubbard
in summer, and a close fitting, high
necked, panniered and hustled wooden
dress in the winter would be more COM
and more in harmony with the
fitness of things than the loose,
black u~nattractive gowns which it is
proposed the new federal justice shall
wear. W. repeat it, if one set of judges
be wigged and gowned compel all to
emasculate themselves, and give them
the privilege of choosing the means to
do it.

ABOUT KISSING.

a New York doctor who is probably SO
old and ugly that the statue of Venus
would culver with horror if he should
approach her with osculatory intentions
has the following to say about kissing:
"Any charming young lady possessing
a sweet rosebud mouth, with a voice up
on which phlegmonis has fastened itself.
cannot be kissed without phlegmonis be-
ing the price paid, cash on delivery by
the person who takes part with her in
the dual bliss. Her perfumed breath,
with it's silvery tones and soft whispers,
is filed with contagion, in which mi
crobes of marvellous form fly to new fields
Of pasture. Hosts Of cunning but riot
u bacteria linger upon her coral lips
waiting to board those of the mnstached
n who recklessly approaches"
Yet, Notwithstanding this dreadful
warning, there is not a mustached young
mar on Gods green earth who would
not willingly brave all the phlegmonis
and microbes and cunning bacteria that
riot upon kissable female lips to take
part with the possessor sin the dual bliss.
Go to! thou old driveller! What do
you know about kissing?

THE CLANS UNITING.

Since McKinley's nomination for
governor of Ohio, every effort is being
made by the more astute republican
party leaders to get all their malcon-
tents, ringleaders, kickers, fractions
bosses, fine wire pullers and sulkers to
gether. The political future Of every
aspiring demagogue in the pool de-
ponds upon carrying Ohio for Mckinley.
If he be defeated they may all hang their
harps upon the willows for McKinley's
defeat means the defeat of their presi-
dental nominee and the virtual de-
%struction of the republican party. That
party practically stakes its future upon
this n throw Of the political dice. Nc
kinley is the incarnation of the present
tariff. The fight will be made straight
out upon the tariff. Mckinley and the
tariff are one and inseparable. A vote for
the former is a vote for the latter. A
vote against one is a vote against the
other. Therefore the divided, the dis
gruntled party leaders and their factious
discordant, fighting followers must be
brought together to work together and
together battle for a common end
Doodle, spoils of Office and existence.
And ii is not in Ohio alone where the
clans are uniting. The necessity of
united action is felt elsewhere-in every
state where the party has a fighting
chance to win. Quay who has been in
disgrace; Clarkson who has been more
feared than liked; Reed, and Harrison,
and Blaine, who have been working at
cross purposes; Miller and Plat whose
death struggle is known to all men. Old
Granny Hoar and Edmunds whose fur
has been stroked the wrong way, and
many of the lessers lights who feel they
have not had their proper pull at the
public teat and are inclined to sulk,
must all be coaxed and petted and rec
and brought together with their
sores licked and private quarrels and
personal grudges thrown in the rubbish
chambers of memory. And then a new
bond of union will be formed and new
promises and pledges made, and the
whole hungry pack be set in full cry
upon the democratic party supplied with
fat fried from the pools and corpora
tons and syndicates and other benefici-
aries of high protection. This is the
\ perfect union first, a fat
'rying Doodle campaign second and
addition, division and silence" third.
For these the clans are uniting.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. July 4. 1891.
EFT T'U BRUTE!

Well may the M~cKinleyites, when
noting the war ragged all along the line
against the present tariff, and find among
those who are most vigorous with their
blows that old moss backed, republican
journal the Pioneer Press, eXclaim, as
did Caesar when the dagger of Brutus
pierced his heart. Eft In. That staid old
journal cant go the Mckinley wool
schedule, and in a sly way gives some
facts in connection with the working of
a high protective wool tariff which will
prove as instructive to the average re-
publican as it will prove astonishing to
the more radical supporters of the objec-
tionable measure. The Pioneer Press
has been reading the Ohio platform and
has come to the conclusion that one of
its planks is very curious when read in
connection with the custom house re-
turns. The plank is as follows:
We demand protection for the WOOL in
dustry equal to that accorded to the
most favored manufacturer of wool, so
that in due time American wool growers
will supply all wool of every kind re-
CURED for consumption in the United
States.
In its comments the Press says: Nov
The republicans of Ohio have been de-
handing protection for the wool indus
try for a great many years, and every
time the tariff has been tinkered the de-
mand has been met by the imposition of
higher duties on foreign woods. One of
the objects of the Mckinley bill was to
protect the wool industry, and for this
purpose still higher duties were levied
upon foreign woods than ever before.
But it has not worked well. Since these
higher duties have been imposed the i'm
portations of raw wool have immensely
increased. During the last four months
for which official returns have been made
the importations, as compared with the
corresponding months of last year under
the old tariff. have been as follows"

LATE Washington advices state. on
''the best of authority" hat the only
question to be considered at last Friday q
cabinet meeting was whether the coinas Q
OF standard silver dollars shall continue
after the first of next month. The prop
%osition, it appears, met no serious oppo-
sition except by certain New York
bankers and the prevailing opinion IS
that the present rate of coinage-s2,OOO,-
GOO per month-will be continued.
There is so much to recommend this
course and so little to be said against it
that it would seem the government ought
not to hesitate in continuing the coinage
of the metal.

IT is estimated that upwards of a
thousand artesian wells have been sunk
IN the Dakotas already, and the work is
being pushed daily into new fields. The
artesian field and the artesian supply
seem to be practically unlimited. The
Dakotas have comparatively little water
above ground; the Dakotas are neverthe-
less we'll watercd. Their rivers, creeks,
springs, lakes and fountains fare not
struck above ground for show, O for
the vulgar bovine, swine, tramp and
alkali deposit to wallow in; but are put
carefully under geological cover, where
the tramp ct al. may not get in and cor
rupt, and where science and Dakota
enterprise may reach and bring it to high
utility. The Dakotas are a well watered
empire. Such ar empire is bound to
have forests and gardens il you only
give it time to bore for them. What is
true Of the Dakotas is true Of Montana.

LET it be understood that thus far
since the defeat Of the senate free coin
age bill by a republican house every
democratic convention has adopted a
plank in it's platform endorsing free
silver coinage, while not a single republi-
can convention has thus far endorsed it.
And yet we are told by two or three re-
publican organs in Montana that the
democratic party is opposed to the coin
age OF the metal and that the republican
party fayors it. Can gall and cheek go
farther?

A YANKEE TRICK.

One does not have to look to the New
England states alone for those tricks in
trade which are supposed to be monopo-
lized by the sharp buyers and sellers in
the land of paper soled shoes and wooden
hams. The staid old Britisher is not
averse to turning to account those little
receptions which cost nothing and yield
handsomely to the adventurous. Since
the passage Of the Mckinley bill our
cousins across the Atlantic have kept
their brains busy in devising ways and
means whereby they can beat
it. just how they have sue
ceeded is thus told in a recent number
of the American Wool Reporter:
1t seems the Bradford (England) man
ufacturers have been experimenting with
expectations to "do up" the "Yanks."
They have sent over large lots of goods
OF a doubtful character, and the customs
officials have been perplexed in deter
mining their value, the goods being
largely composed of "cattle-wool and
dogs" This is what is said Of them:
1t would puzzle an expert to analyze
much of the stuff that has been brought
in and tell Of what it was composed.
The Bradford makers are unquestionably
experts in the manipulation of fibres and
non-fibrous substances, being able appar-
emily to fabricate goods out of divers
materials by admixture of wool, grasses,
dye-stuffs,and only themselves know what
else. The use of low-grade coarse woods,
such as carpet stock, is the least of their
%offense. for goods made out of carpet
woods can be rightly sold as wooden
goods, and be made serviceable to the
wearer.
1t is evident that the Bradford maker
does not confine himself to fibers, or to
the waste products of fibers, such as
f1ocks, devils dust, etc, but that he
makes a conglomerate composition of
the above materials with certain some
things which are unknown to the do
nestle maker. A piece of imported So
called worsted a Klay diagonal in eigh-
teen to twenty ounce goods-was re-
Gently given to a domestic manufacturer
to test. The sample was permitted to
soak in water a short time, when it was
taken out and the equivalent to two
ounces of solid matter to the yard was
squeezed out of 1.-THE matter being of
deep strawberry color, gummy and
somewhat gritty. Loading fabrics is
nothing new, as many of the worsteds
brought in previous to the Mckinley bill
gave evidence of, but it has never been
practiced to the extent as shown in the
goods now being brought in.
Sham worsted, shoddy and cheap imi-
tations may now be counted among the
evils of the Mckinley tariff. American
manufacturers of woolens must contend
against dogs" seattle wools,'' devils
dust" and like limitations Of the genuine
article while the home sheep growers
wool remains in warehouses unsold sim
ply because manufacturers cannot profit
ably work it up and sell the product
against lhese cheap foreign stuffs from
the mills of England. Verify, the Yam
kee tricks are coming home to roost.

49, ''h
So that during these four months the
importations of raw woods have nearly
doubled. During the seven months
ended May l which have passed since
the Mckinley bill became law. the impor-
tations of raw woods amounted to S.
2l5,0OO pounds against 5S.G57,O0O pounds
for the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year under the old tariff. Not
only that, but the American wool grow
ers have been getting lower prices than
before for their products. This state of
facts certainly shows that increased du-
ties on wool have not proved advanta-
geous to the farmers of this country and
suggests the query whether still higher
duties would npt make matters worse.
We believe that the American people are
disposed to give the new tariff a fair trial
and to let it stand or fall upon the re-
suits of that trial quite irrespective of
all economical theories or their political
exploitation. But when a demand is put
forth for still higher duties for the bene-
hit OF an interest already highly pro
tected, it is necessary, as in this case, to
examine the grounds upon which the
demand is made. The results of the ex-
animation, it is needless to say, do not
Justify the demand. but on the contrary
indicate pretty clearly that SO far as the
wool interest is concerned the tariff has
SO far proved injurious rather than bene-
fetal.
