We have debarred the Chinese from
crossing our frontiers. We were forced
to that prohibition as a necessary
measure Of self-defense, and. as a rule,
it is rigidly enforced. Yet the Chinese
do not assassinate the officers Of the
law. nor pillage factories whose owners
have refused their demands. They
are far less inimical to public order
than thousands Of immigrants from
countries that boast of a high degree
of civilization.

Higher Education in Montana.

A member of the faculty Of Monta ma
university said yesterday: "The facilities
offered for education in our midst are in
creasing in a measure which is commend
able. A study Of the work performed in
the various schools will show that Helena
possesses as complete provisions for the in
struction Of youth as the most favored To-
cality can claim. This is trne as regards
our public school system. 1t is true con-
corning other enterprises in u midst. l
venture to say that many persons, ever in
our city, do not know the efforts that are
put forth to inaugurate and perpetuate en-
terprises for the highest education Of youth.
Nor does the world outside realize the fact
that in our young commonwealth the fonn
dations have already been laid for institu-
tions, which in their fullest scope will
equal the best in the work which they con-
template. The Board of Trade in their
visit to the Montana university echoed trne
sentiments when they brought to the know
ledge OF the public the work going ON in
this youthful but grand school for higher
learning. This week Mr.. Payne, q son of
G.. II. Payne, i. l.. d., former president Of
Ohio Wesleyan university. now the secretary
OF the Board OF Education at New York. pass
ing through Helena on his way west, visit.
cd this university and said that there wal
not to his knowledge a similar institution
more elegantly finished and furnished for
the comfort and happiness Of its pupils"

Curing q Cold.

To get rid of a cold, says The Ladies'
Home journal. send to the druggist for a
mixture containing sulphate of atropia one
two hundred and fortieth Of a grain; BIZ
snlphate Of quinine two grains, and Fowl
er's solution, five drops. to each dose. Take
a dose once in two hours for three or four
times. or until the throat begins to feel
slightly dry. II this does not entirely re-
lieye the symptoms, repeat the treatment
the next day. Copy this prescription care
fully, and nse it with care as some Of the
ingredients are poisonous. There is no
danger in using it if TIN directions are
followed exactly. Before going to bed take
a warm bath. The next m&-ning sponge
the body rapidly with tepid waNer, rubbing
it hard until the blood circulases quickly
and the skin is in a glow. Take More exer-
else than usual, and do not sin in a hot
room With the windows shut. MNx q tea
spoonful Of cream Of tartar in a tuhbIerful
of water and drink it during the day, II
there Is constipation take a gentle laxative,
AS a rbubarb pill. 1t is very important that
all the avenues of the body for carrying of
waste matter should bs wide open.

TnE Engineering News, In an interest
inf review OF electrical progress, dis
cusses the using Of electric motors In
| place Of the steam locomotives on our
trunk railways. II docs not share tho
opinion of some electrical enthusiasts,
that the day 10 near at hand when steam
will DO superseded. II admits that u
may be fairly concluded that an electric
railway, built and operated primarily
for passenger traffic in u location where
tho advantages 1t offers will be appre-
ciated, has much To commend IL to the
favorable notice Of engineers and In
vestors. Such locations exist IN tho
vicinity Of many OF our larger cities,
and between some Of those which lie
nearest each other. Between Now York
and Philadelphia, for instance, q railway
which would dispatch through express
trains every hour or half hour, making
the run In so minutes, with all the gain
in comfort which an electric railway
makes possible, would have at least a
fighting chance of financial success.

meet the requirements Of railroads
handling n great volume OF freight,
especially in the matter OF switching at
stations and yards. This would have
to be done by independent storage bat
terry motors, r steam locomotives ut ter.
minals or important yards, but what TO
do with all the minor stations, where
the necessary switching is now done by
the engines OF local freight trains,
would be a difficult problem. The fact
that there are 4,O1G switching locomo-
tives in the United States to 15,14O
freight locomotives, shows that this
Of handling cars about yards
and on sidings is not to be lightly passed
over by the believers in electric traction
for all classes Of service.
The News concludes, therefore, that 1t
will be a long time before we have any
ong line Of road on which the only mo-
i've power will be the electric motor.

COurisliip in the Year 1000.

While the unmarried women of the year
700, whether young or old, will enjoy the
dignity and Independence Of the bachelor Of
to-day, says Edward Bsllamy in The Ladies'
Home Journal for February, the insolent
prosperity at present enjoyed by the latter
will have passed into salntary, il sad,
eclipse. No longer profting by the effect
of the pressure Of economic necessity upon
women, to make him Indispensable. but de
pendent exclusively upon his intrinsic at
fractions, instead Of being able to assume
the fastidious airs Of a sultan surrounded
by languishing beauties, he will be forum
ate if he can secure by his merits the smiles
of one. In the year 200 no man. whether
lover or husband. may hope TO win the
favor OF maid or wife save by desert. While
the poet. justly experimenting the ideal
prophecies, has always persisted in repre-
senting man at the feet Of woman, woman
has been, in fact, the dependent and n
sioner Of man. Sationalism will justify
the poet and satisfy the eternal fitness of
things by bringing him to his m~arrow-boncs
en- earnest. But, indeed, we NAV be sure
that III the year 700 he will need no COM
pulsion to assume that attitude.

M'KISLEY TO THE CONTRARY.

Notwithstanding the predictions OF
those who excused the high prices en-
tailed by the Mckinley law on the
ground that it would cause a revival Of
business in the protected industries, the
outlook in the iron trade is anything
but promising. General Manager James
NJ. Swank, of the American Iron and
Steel association, gives this as his opin-
ion:
The iron trade of this country starts off
badly Mt the beginning of the new year.
The South Chicago steel plant Of the Hi
nois Steel company has been closed: the
furnace owners Of the Shenango and Ma
honing valleys threaten to bank or blow
out their furnaces il coke prices and
freight rates are not further reduced, a
threat which means as much as anything
else that the demand for pig iron has fallen
OIL; the strike OF the coal miners in the
Birmingham district continues, and the
tendency to blow out furnaces in the dis
trict has not been checked. all Of which
means that orders for Alsbama pig iron are
not now pressing heavily upon the makers.
The same law that was to prevent all
this was TO benefit the workingmen en-
ployed in the business Of making iron
and steel. How it has succeeded will be
noticed in the further remarks Of the
same unquestioned authority:
Prices OF nearly all iron and steel prod
ucts are weak, and a general reduction in
wages seemst to be inevitable.
Perhaps the Moses Of journalism
whom Russell Harrison discovered
somewhere in the b%ullrushes along Fast
river can show by parallel obituary rules
that Swank is wrong.

AS proof that the Mckinley bill is a
good thing republican organs cite the
report that, Notwithstanding the tax,
champagne has declined in price from
$3.50 to 3 a quart. This move the
New York Evening Post to remark:
This would be cheering news to the
western farmers il true. Give q farmer
his evening bottle Of champagne at three
dollars and he does not care anything
about the price Of binding twine."
