WANAMAKER'S CHEEK.

A recent Washington dispatch says
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
sent personally signed letter to the
postmaster at each county seat through
out the United states, asking him for
the public good, at his own expense, to
make personal visit to each postoffice
in his county and make detailed re-
port upon it's condition. The postmaster
general has prepared a list of sixteen
questions and the man from the county
seat postoffice is to PROFOUND the list
himself answering some of the questions
which embody the result of his obser-
walton.
Here is fine exhibition of cheek for
Montana postmasters to look at. with
their meagre salary and parsimonious
allowance for clerk hire they are asked
to spend money in running over their
counties to look over the affairs of coun-
try postoilices and make detailed re-
port of what they saw and learned. The
test closes this way:
What marking will you give the post
master on the following basis: l means
poor, . means fair, 3 means good, 4
excellent. 5 means perfect The elements
to enter into the rating are the follow
ing: Convenience of location of the
Office, cleanliness, order, keeping of the
accounts, personal attention of the post
master. improvements in the service
made during the last year. growth OF the
business in the past twelve months.
If Mr. Wanamaker had requested
markings upon the service his depart
ment is giving the people of Montana
and the satisfaction the service gives, the
figure would fill the bill every time
But he is asking too much of a man tt
rate intelligently postmaster by mark
ings as to his capability, honesty ane
efficiency in office. To do this properly
requires personal acquaintance ano
knowledge of country postmasters which
postmasters at county seats have not il
every case. Mr.. Wanamaker is asking {
great deal for two bits.

THE DEVIL FISH TARIFF.
That deyil-fish tariff is no respector OF

That devil-fis tariff is no respector OF
persons, places or things. 1t reaches
out and grasps everything in sight
From the moment man leaves his
taxed bed in the morning; puts on his
taxed socks, his taxed trousers, his
taxed shoes, his taxed coat and vest and
hat and eats his taxed breakfast with a
taxed knife and fork, from taxed plate
until he puts on his taxed nightshirt to
rest from his days labor, he touches
nothing that does not carry a tax. lie
is hantling or stumbling against some
one of the 1900 taxed articles which is
found upon every hand. He eats and
drinks and breathes and lives under the
weight of tariff taxation. If taxes bore
perfume he would smell taxation.
Among the ways by which he is un-
knowingly or rather unconsciously taxed
is in the matter of transportation of the
country. According to the estimates of
the New York Commercial Bulletin the
simple item of railroad transportation is
costing the people of the United States
S3J0.OOOOOO annually more than it need
cost. This is because the materials en-
tering into the construction of railroads
and their equipment are now and have
been for many years enhanced in cost III
per cent or more. At the moderate esti-
mate of 80 per cent enhancement of cost
by reason of the tariff it will be seen
that of the sS,5OO,OOO,OOO at which the
railroads of the country are capitalized
no less than S2,55O,OOO,OOO is virtually
fictitious capital. That is over double
the present amount of the national debt.
As the railroads had to pay the tariff
prices they must of course try to earn
the interest on this tariff outlay of
s2,55OO 100000. At per cent this inter
est would be S1O2,OOO,OOO year-a mod

is imposing on the transportation of tine
country.
Now freight rates might be lower if it

account alone that railroads are affected
They are now, since construction paying
from 40 to GO per cent more for yearly

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The fact that the public schools OF
Great Falls will open next Monday for
another years work will remind the OBJ
servor of educational matters that they
form the bulwark and fundamental fea-
ture of our government by the people,
for the people. That this sentiment Is
being entertained by men of all creeds
and religious beliefs is evidenced by the
fact that the Roman Catholic parish
school at Faribault, Minnesota, has been
merged into the common school system.
The reasons for this action on the part OF
the ecclesiastical authorities are, as stat
ed by the parish priest, "to obtain for
tho future citizens of the republic the
greatest advantages consistent with the
common good" and that these children
may thus receive in their civic training
a perfect preparation for the duties and
responsibilities of American citizenship"
These reasons so terscly and intelligently
set forth by the reverend gentleman may
be accepted by all parents of children as
reasons why they should encourage their
attendance at the public school.
And the work of parents should not
end at the simple encouragement given
their own offspring. The teacher of a
public school has great work upon his
hands as well as great responsibility
upon his shoulders. The problem of as
sImilating steadily increasing volume
of illiterate European pupils depends for
its solution, not only upon our system of
popular education but upon the aid and
encouragement given instructors by
patrons of the public school. This aid
should not be withheld, but should be
freely given, for the interest of all in our
peerless system of education is vital.
The production of safe citizenship de-
pends upon 1t.
Again unrestricted popular education
is powerful factor in the settlement OF
all industrial questions. When, as the
Faribault parish priest says: "Children
receive in their civic trainining perfect
preparation for the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of American citizenship" labor
imbued with and dominated by intelli,
gence will be placed on the highway
leading to it's just dues. The common
school must solve all the questions
which now produce irritating friction be-
tween the employer and employe. II
will require time, but in the end the
great work will be accomplished. With
the assistance of parents and patrons
our public schools will produce safe
American citizenship which means the
rearing of men and women equal to the
labor of carrying on and rerpetuating {
government of the people, by the people
and for the people.

HoN. w. \. CLARK, who recently spent
several days in Ohio, speaks encourag-
ingly of the political outlook in that
state. Mr.. Clark is a close observer of
the drift of public sentiment upon po-
litical matters and his opinion concern
ing the result of the present campaign in
Ohio is entitled to more than ordinary
weight. He thinks the state, though
heretofore republican, will go democratic
this fall. The gentleman is joined by
the clearest headed politicians in the
east in this opinion.

PLOT-HATCHING.

A Washington dispatch to the Mime
apolis Journal under date of the 31st
ult. says Land Commissioner Carter
went to New York the Saturday previ-
Gus and had not returned at that date.
1t is thought in Washington he went to
consult Clarkson and Prince Russell,
both of whom were in New York, in re-
gard to political plans they are Matching.
The dispatch says these plans involve the
of Secretary Mobiles office and
Powers place in the senate.

IDENTIFY means Sanders place. as
by the grace of a bitterly
partisan senate, Power will hold seat
in the senate, which does not belong to
him. for full six years term. Sanders
is the short term man and it is his seat
that is wanted. But the gentlemen
may as well hang their harp upon the
willows. A democrat will succeed Sand
ers, but if through an overruling Provi
dence a republican shall succeed him
that republican will be the 'wah
boss" himself. AS long as republicans
are sent to the United States senate
Helena will furnish the man.

President Harrison has d scheme By
which he expects to make himself solid
with silver men and at the same time
not lose his grip on Wall street The
scheme is not an old one but he has the
credit Of interesting several prominent
western republicans in it, among whom
is ex-United States Senator \. p. Hill Of
Colorado, formerly one of the most
ctive of free coinage men. The scheme
contemplates the coinage only of the
home product of the metal, shutting out
foreign productions from our mints.
This proposition is simply means by
which Mr. Harrison hopes to escape the
silver men upon the one side and the
gold men upon the other. 1t will not be
crystallized into law but will be used as
a weapon to defeat the free and unlim-
tied coinage of the metal. 1t will not
have enough votes to create alarm
among the friends of silver.

In his Albany speech President Har-
rison laid great stress upon the dollar
which shall be worth one hundred cents
every day in the year. That was all very
fine talk and was bid for the gold bug
vote of the Empire state. But the presi-
dent failed to tell his audience that the
dollar of today will buy just as much of
all the necessaries of life as the gold dol
lar. In not doing this the president
showed he was not familiar with his sub
ject or that he was purposely misstating
well known fact. President Harrison
will gain nothing among intelligent men
by playing the part of demagogue

PLOT AGAINST BLAINE.

1t is said that Harrison is getting
desperate in regard to the position OF
Secretary Blaine. He is bound to know
whether the Name man will be candi-
date for the presidency or not. This
feeling is not confined to Harrison alone.
1t extends to his appointees They
know that if he be reelected they are all
right and good for another four years
lease of office. But with Blaine they
are very uncertain. These men, it is
avarred, are determined that if any re-
publican be elected it must be Harrison.
And SO they have concluded that Blaine
must be smoked out. The plan is that
when he returns to Washington he shall
he beset. harassed and worried with re-
quests and demands to define his posi-
ton. If he admit his candidacy, or
qualities it by saying he will run if the
people want him, then the fun will be-
gin.
They will make the cabinet a mighty
warm place for him, in which cndeavor
tho president will not rebuke his friends.
In a word, Blaine will be forced to resign
or be worried into another period Of ner
vous illness: In either case il will be
stated that he cannot longer stand the
strain of Office that he is too sick "A man
for presidential timber and that the wear
and tear of campaign and the trying
life of a president would kill him before
he would be in office a month. All these
matters will be presented to the men,
bers of his family in their most forbid
ding aspect. 1t is well known they are OPP
posed to his candidacy fearing that its
first effect will be to PROSTATE him com
pletely. The plotters hope to find valu-
able allies in Blaine's own household, and
confidently expect to bring him to the
point of absolutely refusing the use or
mention of his name in connection with
the office. Harrison will then have clear
sailing and the present federal office
holders will still be in it. The scheme
is worthy the partisans of Harrison.

GOVERNOR BoIEs is malSing} a telling
campaign in Iowa. He shows by indis-
putable facts that the prohibtory law
has been a lamentable failure and that
republicans are lnsincere in demanding
its enforcement. He attacks the Nc
Kinley atrocity and proves by volumin-
Gus data that it greatly adds to the cost
of living, while the people receive no
corresponding benefits..He shows that
the interests of manufacturers are sub
served at the expense of the farmers of
his state and clinches his argument by a
presentation of statistics which can not
be successfully refuted. His opponent,

RESULTS OF OVERSTOCRr

The partisan advocates Of the M,
ley tariff "point with pride" to the
parative cheapness Of certain famil,
plies and contend it is owing /,
operation of the Mckinley tariff
people will not be fooled by such
sense. 1t is true that prices for Ca
lines of dry goods and clothing are
enable. The cause is as plain as
temporary. They are due to overs,
ing and over production. In the ca
and woolen manufacturing trade
stocking is so great that forced
have to be made IN order to move
plusage. The iron business has
been depressed by reason Of overs
ing. The boot and shoe market
suffered from the same cause. A
many big failures have occurred
stocks have accumulated. Man
turers and merchants carrying all n
lines want to sell and they sell che !
and in periods of like business de-
sion, they always do so under whst
tariff.
The fact is, as the Minneapolis d
nal-good republican authority
"the Mckinley tariff does increase
cost of many lines of goods, but
overstocking last year by heavy imp
tions to avoid the higher duties in
manufactures, and the big dom.
over production in others, have kept
prices down in these lines. This CO
ton of affairs is openly deplored by
intended special beneficiaries of the
Kinley tariff act. They are disappoin
