the AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The conditions under which the
United States grants aid to agricultural
colleges in the several states make it
necessary hat the college for this state
should be located by the legislature at
the present session. The other state
institutions need not be provided for
now and it is better that more time
should be taken to consider the ques-
ton of their location, but the case OF
the agricultural school is exceptional.
By the act Of congress of July :, 1862,
the United States annually appropri-
stes $4,000 for each agricultural col
lexe, and by an act approved Aug. 30.
1890, an additional 1900 il granted for
ten years, and after that the annual APP
preparation will be $4,000. BY al act
of March .. 1887. the United States
grants $4,000 annually to aid in the es-
ta%blishment Of experiment stations in
connection with the agricultural col
lege.
These appropriations are subject to
the acceptance Of the grant by the legis-
l0th1C II 1 n6lCCtioit " Snhi WV
the provisions OF the act.
There will be available for the Mon
tana School OF Agriculture this year
$4,000 and next year $4,000 more. II
the grants are not accepted before the
next legislature meets, therefore, S61 900
will have been lost to the institution.
No further argument for immediate leg
~islation is necessary. The state must
not lose that money.
Where shall the college be located? Is
the only question TO consider. A bill
now pending in the senate provides that
it shall be established at or near Boze-
man. With due appreciation of the
merits of other places We are constrained
to say that the Gallatln valley as the rep
resentative agricultural region OF the en-
tire state is an ideal place for the train
ing OF the farmers of the future. In
soil, climate. variety of products, acces
sibility and all other conditions, BoZe-
man, or its vicinity, can furnish every
of agriculture.
IallatIa county now produces more
grain than all the other counties of the
state combined. Its development has
hardly begun. Ten years hence it will
be one of the greatest farming valleys of
the United States. For study, practice
and experiment in agriculture it offers
every advantage possessed by any region
in the land.
Looking solely to the best interests of
the state and its rising generation. and
with all consideration for the ambitious
cities that would like to have SO desir-
able an institution in their neighborhood,
THE INDEPENDENT believes that the es-
t~abllshmens OF the agricultural college
at BoZeman would meet with general
popular approval.

CONG.EssMES's SALARIES.

Amongst the members of the congress
OF the United States there is no more
frequent cause Of complaint than that
the salary attached TO their Office is I'M
able to meet the demands upon it. A
congressman must spend a great portion
OF his year IN the national capital. he
must, in most instances. abandon his
special means of earning a livelihood
while his legislative duties are in pro
gress, he must perform certain social du-
ties, and the end Of it all is that ne must
either run into debt or draw open his
" purse strings, II he is lucky enough
to have any. II IL a misfortune that
cries for a remedy. 1t IS keeping out
many a sterling man, who would make
his mark in his country's history. Glory
is a great thing. love Of country is a
greater. But the first duty that any
man owes is To the members Of his own
household, and no amount Of patriotic
work will serve to excuse neglect Of their
interests. The system tends to the
greater egaggeration Of the ALREADY ex-
aggerated power of the wealthy. 4 seat

''Thon should Jones receive a letter from

refer the letters to the bureau for alton

chief clerk OF the bureau has received tho
correspondence of tho day, he may find
twenty letters seeking information from
the pension office on the same subject. and
he can send one clerk to look up the whole
matter instead of each senator or congress-
man being compelled to send a special mes
senger in each instance.
II am satisfied that by this means the
work that now entails so great an expense
upon each member of congress can be OK

 Bibbles Specially Named

Many editions of the Bible have re. ceived special names from misprints or other errors 10 be found in them. The Leisure Hoar gives a list of them, from which the following instances are taken:

Rate at which Andrew Carnegie Will Grow
 Rich-A Case of Tariffs. Trusts, and
 Spoils-A Lesson for "Fools."
 The Edgar Thomson Steel Works of Carnegie Bros. & Co.,, limited, at Brad dock, Pa., according to report, shut down recently for extensive repairs. Three new 15-ton Bessemer converters, a new blowing mill, a new rail-mill en- zine, improved hydraulic machinery, and twenty new boilers will be added. With these Improvements the works will be able, it is said, to turn out 1, 800 tons of rails daily.
 In the recent report of United States Labor Commissioner Wright, the cost of making rails at two establishments in this country is given. Only two mills were reported, as others showed a sen sitiveness" about giving inform ation concerning their business. The total cost of making steel rails is given at S27.6s a ton in one mill, and at S24. 79 in the other. Senator Carlisle stated, how ever, in the Senate debate on the tariff,
 here was good reason for believing that the cost of making steel rails in some of the establishments not reported is con siderably less than in those embraced in Col. Wright's report.
 But taking the lower of the two figures here reported, what will be Car negie's net daily profit from his rail mill? The steel-rail combination has re- gently put up the price of rails at all Eastern points to $50 ton (S3l in Chi cago) The difference between this fig ure and SEA- 79 is S5.21 At this rate of profit Carnege's 1 500 tons of rails will bring him S7.Sl5 daily.
 That is the rate at which we tax our selves to make tariff millionaires. In order to insure Carnegie and other pros porous manufacturers the greatest pos sible opportunity to grow rich upon the consuming public, our pro- 1 tectionist Solons put Q duty of S13.4t ton on steel rails, and in order to enjoy this protection to the fullest extent possible, Carnegie and the five other rail-making companies form combination and put up prices.
 Yet these men deny strenuously that they are in trust; in answer to which the New York Enginecrig aud Mining Journal says: "rhe rolling mills have seen fit to increase the price of steel rails, and for these, which two months ago could be purchased for S2s, they now demand $50 The officers of the steel companies deny that combination has been effected between them. but only an 1 arrangement to regulate output and prices In other words, it is a trust in all but name and organization. We shall watch with interest this attempt to con- troI market prices in defiance of all natural conditions.
 All this recalls the remark which Car negie is said to have made last summer at dinner in London, that the Amcri- can people are great fools to tax them selves to make millionaires of a jew smart men like himself. which remark ought certainly to suggest to these 1 American fools the question whether it is not time to cease being fools.

What to Teach Young Women.

A mother writes to me; What shall teach my daughtersp' This one im- portant and tremendous fact. my sister: That there is no happiness in this world for an idle woman. It may be with hand, it may be with brain, it may be with foot; but work she must or be wretched forever. The little girls of our families must be started with that idea. The curse of our American society is that our young women are taught that the first second. third. fourth, fifth. sixth, seventh. tenth, tftieth. thousandth thing in their life is to get somebody to take care of them. Instead of that, the first lesson should be how. under God. they may take care of themselves. The simple fact Is that majority of them do have to take care of themselves, and that too, after having, through the false notions of their parents. wasted the years in which they ought to have learned how successfully to maintain themselves. It is inhumau and cruel for any father or mother who pass their daughters into womanhood having given them no facility for earning their livelihood. Madame de Stae said: '1t is not these writings that l am proud of. but the fact that l have facil- ity in ten occupations, in any one of which l could make n livelihood" We sao0.d teach our daughters that work ot any kind, when necessary.is credit and honor to them. IL is shame for young woman. belonging to large family to be inefficient when the mother and father toil their lives away for her support. It is shame for n daughter to be idle while her mother tolls at the wash-tub. 1t is as honor able to sweep house make beds or trim hats, as it is 10 twis, wateb-chain or embroider slipper Rer. T.

 We crossed the channel and visited Waverland for few days. In some parts Of Ireland there had been terrible need, almost amounting to starvation. in Con naught there had been less suffering The tenants were hopeful. The new ministry was agreeable to their wishes. Mir. Par nell was their chosen leader, hero and friend Though quiet was maintained in Ireland, there was an undertone of earn estness that told of settled determination, The only safe plan for England is to listen to reason.
 According to an agreement with Sir Wren, many things not valuable enough to take with him, yet through association too dear to be parted with, had taken to Waverland. A ue's pet pony was one of the things committed to my care. The farmers on Sir Wren's estate were con- tented and happy. A way had been pro- vided by which they were to buy the land they titled.
 Lady Waverlnnd visited all her old friends. They were as warm as ever ip their praises of tho ''swate ladyr'
 The little school had been moved from the tenant cottage to fine, large build. ing, erected for the purpose according to tho direction of Lady Waverland She also had endowed it with sufficient funds to procure the best instructors. Thus all our tenants children have the privilege of Q free education.
 No wonder that to the poor oppressed tenants, such bcnefactor is an object of special love and affection. Her quiet, healthful influence also had good effect on the home life of the people. Now, in. stead of dirt and filth about the cabins, all was neat and tidy. The pigs and cows were in the rear of the building, in some kind of shelter, and flowers were seen in the door yards.
 Our stay in Waverland was short. IL was early in the year 1886. Parliament was in session, and each Irish member felt it his duty to fill his place at all times during the sittinEs. If Gladstone is beaten in his plans, there will be an appeal to the people In that appeal, one party or th' other will be beaten; but, in any event, the cause of British liberty will gain by the agitation. Ireland's cause is becoming national, and very soon every part of the British Empire must clasp hands in one universal struggle for British libertyl With the example of America in view, enter the struggle with cheerful faith iu the futurel

An Iuguaried Confesss,n.

The protectionists appear to be doomed to tell the truth about the tariG despite themselves. One of their favorite asser- tions, which they all squeak from Me- Kinley down, is that the foreigner pays the tariff tax. But here is aeparagra ph from the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which was evidently written when the editor was off his guard and had forgot ten his office as defender of the faith according to Mckinley: sThe Mckinley bill is kicking up serious row in Can ada The Canadian farmers would be very glad to get their combing wools in here free under reciprocity. These wools are Leicester or Cotswod. and cost 22 cents in bond or 34 cents duty paid, an almost prohibitory price.
