WOOL VALUES.

AS the McKinleyites would say, "The
tariff has not yet got in its work on
WOOL" Time was asked to give it a
chance. Time has been had. 1t was
said that as soon as manufacturers com
menced to buy the price of wool would
raise. Manufacturers are buying, and
here is what Bradstreet's says about it:
"Wool values have been at stand
still during the last two months. Prices
of domestic wool have not been affected
by the heavy buying which has been
done by the larger mills. With money
rates lower and commercial paper being
accepted more freely than heretofore, the
buying is not only expected to be heav-
ier but distributed among larger num-
ber OF mills. The goods markets are in
excellent condition, but as long as wool
is as low as it is at present manufactur-
ers can not expect to obtain higher prices
for their products. A disposition is
noted in some lines to place larger or
ders, while the production Of all kinds
OF woolen and worsted goods is expected
to show very large increase over that
of last year."

REFERRING to the charge of the TRR
UNE that the republican newspapers d
Montana have not word to say in fayO
of the free and unlimited coinage of sI
yer. the Inter Mountain retreats behind
the meaningless assertion that "the re.
publican papers of Montana will con
tinue to be the warm friends of silver
and of the silver interest, and will wors
with whatever power they may posses
for the good of their state, and at thu
same time of the nation at large" Tha
is just what every gold bug, including
Mckinley and John Sherman, in th'
country says. But none Of them, includ
ing. the Inter Mountain, says one word 70
the free and unlimited coinage of th'
white metal. They all draw the line be
fore they get to that point.

CARRIED INTO COURT.

Under the above headline the Anacon'
da Standard gives an interesting ac'
count of how the money part OF Tom
Carter's first campaign in 1883 has found
its way into the courts. According to
the Standards version Of the matter Mr.
Carter needed couple thousand dollars
at the close Of his campaign to settle up
with the strikers and heelers who served
him so faithfully upon election day. The
money was obtained upon a note in
dorsed by nearly score of prominent
Helena republicans, among whom were
Sanders and Power and Hershfield, Car
ter, Seligman and Kleinschmidt. The
indorsers, however, understood that
someone else should pay the note. The
note was made in December, 1888, and
was held by Mr.. Hershfield in his bank
until it was long past due. Then the
bank transferred it, for the purpose of
bringing an action in court, to j. w.
Kinsley, who in turn assigned it to Car
rie S. Kinsley, in whose name the suit is
brought.
The whole matter must be not only
rough on Carter. but humiliating to the
republican party of the state. BY the
payment of about 500 apiece the note
could be satisfied and the case would
have been kept out of the courts and
from public knowledge. But it appears
that the men who put their names to
the note are not built that way. They
are thrifty gentlemen and as long as
there is nothing in it by settling they will
let Hershfield get his money as he may.
The Standard in speaking of this side of
the matter observes that "Power, if he
has the money he is reported to be worth,
could pay it without worry-the repub-
lican party in Montana has humiliated
itself so much on Powers account that
a wo-thousand- dollar check would be
the smallest sort of return on his part.
But Power isn't up to that sort of thing;
indeed, he puts in separate answer in
the case pending in Helena. He is dis
posed to be about as generous now as he
was when he worked the thirty-fo pre-
cinct fraud when Senator Turpie said of
him: Power wanted Pennycook to
throw out precinct thirty-four and didn't
care how he did it, providing it didn't
cost too much. Power may have been
he may have been unscrupu-
lous,bu the is no spendthrift. 1t looks as
though Turpie might have truthfully
said the same thing about the others on
the note. They are no spendthrifts.

THE ESTRAI Law AGAIN.

Some few days ago the TRIBUNE ex.
pressed the opinion that the estray law
had been uniustly attacked and gave its
reasons for the belief. Since then the
state board of stock commissioners met
at Helena and adjourned. The pro-
ceedings had are thus referred to by the
New Northwest:
At this meeting particular inquiry
was made as to the cause of the numer-
Gus complaints which have been lodged
against the enforcement of the new
estray law, and in every case it was
found that they were either based upon
rumors which had no foundation of
truth or came from persons who had an
evil motive in casting discredit upon the
measure. 1t was decided that the law
SO far had proved to be beneficial, and
while in some respects it might be
changed for the better, yet its operation
as whole had been beneficent. 1t was
decided that no more estrays will be
gathered this year, and that hereafter
they will be collected annually. Stock
inspectors were authorized to prosecute
any one who was found to be working
estray horses. 1t was found that a
number of people who have estray horses
are using them, some Of whom refused
to surrender them to the agents. 1t is
to reach this class that the resolution
was passed.

JUDGMENT PASSED.

The TRIBUNE regrets to see, the posi-
ton taken by Butte weekly newspaper
in the Penrose murder trial. The de.
PENDANTS may be innocent. If SO they
will be discharged without prejudice to
their good name. But if they be proven
guilty the gallows should receive them.
A more dastardly crime was never COM
mitted in Montana and the perpetrators
of it should hang higher than Haman.
The men arrested for the crime are now
undergoing an examination. While it is
in progress public prints should pass no
opinion calculated to influence the ex-
animation either way. But the By
stander takes it upon itself to pass judg-
ment upon the matter as follows:
1T is evident that the prosecution in
the Penrose case are not after the right
parties. They have been misled and
must look to some other clue to trace
out the men who did the cowardly and
unnatural deed. The community have
heard all the evidence the prosecution
has had to offer, and it has made up it's
mind that dog would not be punished
for killing sheep on such evidence

REPUBLICAN SILVER BUGABOO

The principal arguments used against
the Bland bill in 1878 we're that it's
passage would send all the gold out OF
the country and that all the silver in the
world would be pouring into it. The
same old arguments about the flight
of gold and irruption Of silver have
been employed by gold bugs ever since
when efforts have been made in congress
to broaden the Office of the white metal.
But gold remains and foreign silver fails
to overwhelm U.S. AS the prophesies of
calamity have failed Of fulfllment the
intelligent people of the country will
take little stock in the dismal croaking
of gold bugs over the democratic PROPOSE
ton to rehabilitate silver with all its
old time royal prerogatives and launch it
out side by side with gold in the mon
etary channels of America.
The latest representations of evil
comes in the shape Of gold bug assur-
ance that Germany and Holland are pre-
pairing to unload upon the American
market the vast sums of silver boarded
in their treasures for which they have
according to these wiseacres- use, in
case free and unlimited coinage law be
enacted by the next congress. That old
song has been sung for many years.
But suppose it does come, what then.
The owners would take back with them
good American dollars for the silver bull
lion they brought over. And even If
they did not there would be use here for
it all. But there is not the least reason
that the silver of Europe will find it's
way to American mints. That country
has use for all it's silver and it would like
to have much more. With silver at par in
all parts of the United States it would be
at par in all the markets the United
States buys and sells. The republican
silver bugaboo disappears in the pres
ence of cold facts

The report shows the United States to
be the largest copper producing country
in the world with Montana at the head
of the procession. The total cost of pro-
ducipg this 113,O2S short tons was over
s12,OOO,OOO, and the total number of
employees exclusive Of Office force, S,721.
When it is considered that ten years ago
the copper output of Montana was too
insignificant to mention it will be con-
ceded the state has made wonderful
progress in the production of the metal.
Still as far as its metal outputs are con-
cerned the industries are only in their
infancy. Its silver outputs are keeping
pace with those Of copper, while the
production of lead, coal and iron is but
hardly begun. What wonderful
country is Montana. Untold wealth in
its grasses; untold millions in its coal,
lead, iron and lumber, and the riches of
kingdoms in its gold, silver and copper
mines. Great is Montana.

DOOR OPENED FOR FRAUD.

When the disability pension bill wa
before the last congress the true friend
of the worthy union soldier fought it OF
the ground that it would open wide tht
door for frauds upon the pension bureau
and that it was an insult to those who
had fought it through the war and re.
tired with an honorable discharge in
their pockets The following from the
Chicago Herald will show that the pre-
dictions of the opposition have been
fulfilled to the letter:
A circular issued by local pension
claim agent contains the following in
teresting paragraphs:
We would like to have you call at OuI
Office, at your convenience, to consult
with us regarding your pension or other
war claim business.
The laws are now very liberal, and
much of the red tape of past years has
been done away with. The evidence
needed is very simple.
Soldiers or officers dishonorably dis
charged or dismissed from the service
can now get pensions
Charges of desertion can often be can
celed.
Old, rejected cases can be reopened
and proved up under the new rules of
evidence.
The claim agents of the country lobbied
the bill through and now they are grow
ing fat on fees for securing pensions for
such fellows as are named in the circular.
1t was not that disability pensions were
Objectionable that the bill was so vigor
ously opposed. Not by any means. The
opposition declared it was so framed
that undeserving persons could obtain
pensions as well as deserving ones. But
the lobbying pension agents who hun
gered for fat fees and the majority in
congress that proposed to shape pension
legislation to catch votes, raised par
tisan cry in its support and many legisla-
tors intelligent enough to see why the
bill was so hotly pressed and how it
would work were not honest enough or
free enough from party shacliles, or
courageous enough to vote against it
and it became law.
In pension department noted for its
corrupt methods and practices, depart
ment reckless, extravagant, and shame
less, this law is interpreted exactly as its
opponents foresaw it would be. Hear
the pension agents: "SOldiers dnd officers
dishOnorbb discharged or dismissed
from the service can now get pension
This means that the craven who was un-
true to his flag and his country; the SOL
dier who dishonored his comrades by his
presence and was kicked out of the serv-
ice; is placed upon the same footing
with the veteran who never turned his
back to the enemy or did aught to tar
nish his name and fame. So confident |
are the claim agents of this that they |
dare openly advertise their ability to Sc
cure pensions for the unworthy. They |
know they can carry out their promises
With them and the pension bureau it is
simply matter of addition. division,
and silence" The door is opened for
fraud

The republican party in Massachu-
setts is having peck of trouble. 1t has
during the last quarter of century
daily demanded that the south should
give the "colored man and brother" a
share of the offices as they were being
passed around. Now this same 'coored
man and brother" demands that the re-
publican party of that state shall nomi-
nate one of his own race for state auditor,
and threatens that thousands of colored
men will bolt the ticket if the nomina-
tion be not made. And so the party of
great moral ideas in Massachusetts is in
a deal of trouble.

a notion of his carried from his bargain
counter into the postoffice department.
The desire to get something for nothing

sense and stalwart cheek to admire in
such demand. Petfer and Simpson,

IT is said Salt Lake City is making
active preparations for the reception and
entertainment of the delegates to the
irrigation convention which will meet
there next Tuesday, the 18th inst. The
convention promises to be one of the
largest and most interesting ever con-
vened in the west. Among the topics to
be considered is the preservation of
natural water supplies by the construc-
ton of reservoirs, and the reclamation
of the arid lands of the trans Missouri
country. The consideration of these
matters by the Salt Lake congress will
doubtless do much toward exciting a
greater interest throughout the east in
the question of irrigation.

The total gain in population in the
United States during the past ten years
was 24.s2 per cent. OF this 1O.15 per
cent was immigration, leaving the
natural increase only little more than
IA per cent. The country ought to do
better than that. 1t is healthy, at peace
with the world, the people are vigorous
as rule and we'll fed. An increase OF
only and 1-6 per cent year shows there
is something wrong. Our forefathers
and mothers whose lives were pure and
simple were much more prolific. What
has our advanced civilization with its
late hours, high nervous tension, in,
digestible banquets, dissipations and
follies Of fashion to do with this lack OF
natural increase in population?

WHO AND WHAT DID IRE

Our republican contemporaries need
not quarrel among themselves as to who
should receive the credit for the removal
of the German embargo on American
pork. Blaine's reciprocity scheme had
about as much to do with it as Mel
bourne's rain making appliances. Min
lister Phelps was quite as influential in
procuring the removal as one of Major
Steele's Piegan Indians, and the
agricultural department at Washington
did no more to procure it than the
primary department in the Greal Falls
public school. The fact is the German
craving for food brought it about. The
absolute certainty that short crops in
Europe would be followed by a great ad-
vance in the price of breadstutfs, and
that the empire must have cheaper meats
and cheaper food of other kinds than the
outlook promised with the embargo up
induced the German government to re-
move it from the American hog That
is all there is in it. The Germans doubt
less had not thought of Blaine and his
reciprocity, or Mr.. William Walter
Phelps or Uncle Jerry Rusk when they
let down the bars for the American pork
er to go in. The German belly did the
business, for at the same time the en-
barge was removed the grain duties were
suspended. American hogs and Ameri-
can wheat and corn now enter German
ports free of duty.

Why not leave the whole business to the

give valuable tips to the average east
