Effects If a Force Bill in the South,

What would be the direct and Immediate
in the southern states? Mr.. Hol.e Smith,
president of the board CT education of At
lanta. answer this question in a brief and
sharp article in the August number of The
Forum. After showing that, in his opinion
at least, the law would be unconstitutional.
and after showing that its expense would
not be less than $40. COO, 900 for every cleo
ton and would bring into existence at least
$50. 600 new oficsholders, he proceeds to
show that no greater calamity would befall
the negro, for whose benefit it 10 argued
such a bill is needed. The developments of
the negro depends absolutely upon the
kind feeling which exists between the two
faces in the south. The enactment of q
fo,ce bill would at moe inspire the negroes
with an undue attention to politics, and
this, in turn, would inspire the more emo
tional Of the white population with less
kindly feelings toward the blacks, and with
these results there would be in the south 4
re-enactment of all the occurrences of the
reco obstruction period.
This Mr.. Smith regards as q sufficient ar.
gument in itself against agitation for an
other force bill. bat he goes much further,
He maintains that the industrial condition
of the negro would be made materially
worse, that be would become a less indus
trious Lahore: in the cotton fields. because
he then was much loss industrious than he
has been nince; n that in this way the
agriculture of the south would DO seriously
impaired, and that the whole country would
feel the commercial depression in conse.
quence of the social. political and industrial
confusion that a force bill would work in tue
southern states. The facts and figures given
by Mr.. Smith ars a full presentation of the
whole southern argument along every line
of thought against even the agitation of
6uch a moagura.

We reproduce this morning some Of
the comments of the west side newspa-
pers and Of our own citizens
on the slanderous attacks OF the
Helena Journal on the people of Butte.
In social and business relations the
citizens of Helena and Butte are SO
closely identified that their interests are
one in this matter. Former worthy cit
liens of this town are now residents of
the west side city, and We number
among u most valued citizens men
and ome who came hither from
Butte. One common sentiment of in
dignation prevails in both communities
against the sort of journalism that in.
dulges in these ISLANDERS. We are glad
to see our Butte contemporaries are
disposed to consider the source of this
attack and to treat 1T with the contempt
it deserves. B. .r

CAN a man be a stock broker and a
Christian? The question has been an
swered in the affirmative in one case at
least. For many years Deacon" s. V.
White, of Brooklyn, n Of the leading
mon in Beecher's church was a heavy
plunger in Wall street. He was not a
deacon, W. believe, at all, but simply an
active ohurchman. In due course Of
time he failed in business for q large
sum. His fortune was completely wiped
out and he was left to begin the world
over again. He went straight to his
creditors in a manly way, told them if
he was not pushed he would pay them
in full, and they believed him. In the
last six months, in addition to previous
payments, he has paid them 100000
and he has only about 100000 more to
pay. He has been fortunate in recent
deals on the street and every dollar he
makes goes toward paying debts. The
sneers Of the sceptical and worldly at
this particular deacon won't go any
more.

THE WEATHER.
A SIXTY PER CENT TARIFF.

The Benton River Press, in answer tc
our inquiry as to how much better of
the Montana ~wage-earner would be ii he
did not have to pay q sixty per cent
tariff, Of course denies the existence OF
such Q tariff. This is not astonishing
because all Of the high protection organs
are driven to prevarication when they
have no argument to offer for the tariff
robbery. It is 80 easy to nail this par
tlcular liar to the barn door, however,
that we do it just for the fun Of the
thing. Any wage-earner, or other per-
son, a verify the figures for himself
by reference to the existing tariff sched
ules, as arranged by Nh. Mckinley. We
quote here and there at random the duty
on various articles Of household use, ne
cessities in every family. Ready-made
clothing is taxed by Mr.. Mckinley forty
nine and a half cents a pound and sixty
per cent ad valorem; cotton handker-
chiefs sixty per cent; cotton cur
tains sixty per cent; wool bind
lngs sixty cents per pound and sixty
per cent; plain china and porcelain
earthenware sixty per cent; decorated
earthenware sixty per cent; felt shoes
forty-nine and a half cents per pound
and sixty per cent; glass lamp chimneys
sixty per cent; plain and cut glass ware
sixty per cent; silk handkerchiefs sixty
per cent; india rubber wearing apparel
fifty cents per pound and fifty per cent;
cotton laces sixty per cent; linen laces
sixty per cent; linen, lace and cotton
trimmings sixty per cent. We have not
included in this list a vast number of
articles or which both specific and ad
valorem duties are levied, which rate
would bring the duty in some instances
up to more than 100 per cent over the
foreign price. Fortunately such papers
as the River Press are no longer able to
humbug the "wage-earners of the country.
Voters look up trustworthy figures for
themselves and are not deceived as for
merly by falsified arithmetic.

THE HEN.

Another custom house, and a large
military post, should be established at
once on the Mexican frontier. A peskv
Yankee is impoverlshing our American
hens and reducing them to the degraded
condition of the pauper hens of Europe
by n most disreputable evasion Of the
Mckinley law. There is a duty of five
cents a dozen on imported g g levied
by the benevolent Mckinley in the in
terest of our own red, white and blue
hen. This slippery Yankee we speak of
has built himself a hen house, stocked
with Mexican hens, just across the Mex.

on pauper grain, in pauper Mexico, but

THAT ATTACK ON BUTTE.

How . Fool Newspapers WORK Is Viewed
by the state Press.
ANACONDA STANDARDS: In the attempt to
account for the Helena Journals scurvy
screed on Butte several theories are out,
There are those who regard this latest
break a. added evidence Of the fact that
the Journal is the most asinine publication
in Moth America and that it means to
maintain it's reputation. Others fancy that
the Journals cunning scheme is to arouse
the people of Butte to the support of Butte
for the capital-the theory being that a
boom for Butte means benefit to Helena by
making more complete the division Of west
side forces.
Whatever the Journals theory may have
been in using the speech of a blackboard
about reputable men and women in Butte.
the practical result is that the business has
cost Helena a good many votes-on that
point there can be no doubt. Notoriously
Helena had friends in Butte. Many of
these friends admit that they have done
with Helena; the Standard could give O
pretty long list of names Of people who
we're heard to announce this conclusion
yesterday afternoon.

less weight than the same words would
have in any other newspaper in Montana,
because the journal is regarded as q has.

Milk and Beef Strains,

Some of the farmers of Mason
Valley are complaining that the
Holstein cattle brought in there from
the East a few years ago, produce
stock no better than common cows.
They ought not to expect good stock
at the price they paid. The cattle
were sold at auction and most Of
them went fer almost nothing, be-
cause the owner did not care to take
then to California where they would
be carefully inspected by buyers who
were judges of the breed. All Hol-
stems are not great mixers, they
are good and bad like all other breeds
No man should think of getting good
milking stock for $50 head.
Good cattle must be selected like
horses with some idea of strain and
pedigree.
Men who object to paying good
prices for Rocker and Aaggie strains
cannot expect to get extra stock.
The farmers who purchased bulls
of the Holstein ranch are not com
planning of the stock but on the con
trary speak in the highest terms of it.
Holstein cattle have both milk and
beef strains. The beef strain is

RECIPROCITY IN LEGISLATION
Francis q. Newlands Makes a
Flat Footed Statement.

New York, Nov. 21-The Herald
has sent kilograms to various Con-
gressmen elect, asking their views as
to an extra session and their prefer
ence between a horizontal cut in the
tariff or modification of the present
schedule. Francis G. Newlands Of
Nevada replied as follows;
81 am in favor of an extra session,
because the immediate passage of the
free coinage bill is essential to the
prosperity Of the country. The Dem
ocratic party has the opportunity Of
its life. 1t can endear itself to the
West by wise financial legislation.
Discomfort was the cause of the polit-
ical revolution, not the tariff. The
vicious legislation demonetizing Bill
yer which destroyed one half of the
money Of alterate redemption, is at
the bottom Of the prevailing distress
and discomfort. If the Democratic
party fails to give relief the third
party will sweep the country four
years hence.

my action as to the tariff will largely
demand on the action of The eastern
and middle States regarding the
money question. am opposed to
that system Of protection which pro-
tects the manufactured products Of
the eastern States by a tariff and
their accumulated stocks of money
