IT was a queer thing for the attorney
general of the United States to be the
first to nnoun the understanding be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain in the Boring sea matter. Usage
and etiquette both demanded that the
secretary of state should promulgate
this news, but Mr.. Miller, evidently with
an understanding with his old partner
in the White house, rushed into the su-
p-eme court whore the Bering sea case
was on trial and broke the news. The
motive for this action was apparent
when the superservlceable administra-
ton organs all came out simultaneously
with praise for President Harrison for
bis able diplomacy. in settling the con
troversy. The Blaine organs are having
their inning now and are showing that
the secretary of state is really entitled
to all the credit for the adjustment, he
having completed the negotiations with
England while the president was on his
junketing tour across the continent last
spring. If Brother Blaine wants to
keep his laurols he will have to put
them in a safe deposit vault under a
time lock, that will not open until after
the adjournment of the national repub-
lican convention.

Women in Trousers,

Anglo-Saxon men and women of the tenth
century were clothed similarly, and tho

Dudley Warner, is externally almost iden-

scribes trousers for all women who do man

to the hands. He thinks sewing machines
should never be worked by women in skirts
and he reserves gowns for the drawing-room
and ballroom, RELOCATING saleswomcn,
physicians, surgeons and nurses in hospitals
to trousers, giving as one argument that
Flowing drapery worn by the woman ply
stefan and nurse is more apt to absorb con-
tagion than the closely fitting trousers of
man, and hence renders them carriers Of
disease from house to house or from person
to person."
There are trousers and trousers. The
trousers of Europe and America are neither

breaches of their forefathers the better.

The people of Montana will heartily
cooperate with Messrs. Altenbrand,
Rupert and their associates, who are
establishing a colony of Holland farmers
IN the Gallatin valley for the purpose Of
extending the cultivation of barley in
that wonderful agricultural region. The
first of the colonists, seventeen families,
averaging four persons each, of thrifty
and well-to-do settlers, will arrive at
Manhattan about the middle of next
month. These will be established in
comfortable winter quarters provided by
the company, and in the early spring
about thirty more families will join
them. 1t is expected that by another
summer 10000 acres will he sown in
barley and the great industry, which is
destined to add so much to Montana's
wealth and development, will be fairly
under way. The Manhattan enterprise
if successful, and failure is an impossi-
bility, will be the means of bringing
hundreds of other colonists to our rich
valleys where farming can be carried on
under more profitable conditions than in
any other state of the Union. A hearty
welcome to the progressive New York

little book entitled "The Tariff and the

attractive form by ean Of a series of
questions and answers, which may be
readily comprehended by those who
have been unable to give either of these
questions a thorough study. 1t is a book
that should be in the hands of every

agent, Capt. Cook. of Boston, has offered a
$4,000 purse and $500 for expenses to Peter
