Our citizens have shown commenda-
BILE public spirit in securing the military
post for Helena, but their good work
will not be finished until the site is Sc
lected. This is a matter attended with
no little difficulty. A tract of land
suitable for the post is not easy to se-
cure and unless owners of real estate
show a disposition to cooperate with
the government, there will be vexatious
delays. The inevitable mossback who
will cling to his land in the hope of
making his moro generous townsmen
buy him out is sure to appear on the
scene unless public sentiment is too hot
for him. The real estate s%peculatol

The trusts are taking courage from
the we'll known hostility Of the senate
to any change in the tariff schedules.
The house the other day put binding
Irvine on the free list and it recently has
been selling at seven and a half cents a
pound. Senator Aldrich has authori-
lively stated for the finance committee
Of the senate that the house bill will
not be considered in the senate and the
cordage trust has resolved, on the
strength Of this assuring intelligence, to
advance the price OF Irvine to 1913 cents
a pound. The farmers who want free
Irvine will have to enforce their demands
at the ballot box. BY changing the
political complexion Of two or three
state legislatures they will be able to
send to the United States senate men
who will vote for their relief. Sanders,
OF Montana, is one Of the men they want
to get after.
