1t is sort of garden cultivation, the
poppy plants being grown in little
squares or beds intersected by tiny wa.
ter channels for irrigation wherever this
is possible. The growth Of the plants is
carefully tended, and at length the time
comes when they burst out into flower,
and the fields look like sheet of silver
as the white petals of the flowers glisten
in the morning dew.
These beautiful petals are the first
produce of the crop, for the women and
children Of the cultivators' families
come forth and pick them off one by
one and carefully dry them, SO that they
may serve afterward as the covering Of
the manufactured cakes of opium. Then
the peoples, with their bare capsule
heads, remain standing in the opei
field until it is considered that they are
ripe for lancing. The cultivators ther
come forth in the evening, and, with al
implement not unlike tho knives of 6
cupping instrument, they scarify tn,
capsule on its sides with deep incisions
so that the juice may exude.
In the early morning the cultivator.
reappear with scraping knife and theil
earthenware pots, and they scrape of
the exuded juice and collect it in theil
pots. And this is crude opium. Black

A few Of the many etories that are
told Of miners' luck viii enable ths
reader TO understand how and why The
heads Of whole communities may be
turned In mining regions. Jim Whit
latch, the discoverer Of the Whitlatch.
Union mine, near Helena, led a typical
western miners life, The mine In ques-
ton IL now owned in England and has
produced go, 900, 900 in gold. After jim
Whitlatch had sold the property 70,
81 100000 he went to New York "te
make as much money as Vanderbilt
He was rare treat to Wall street, which
fattened on him, and in one year let him
go with only the clothes on his back
He returned to Montana, began ''pros
pecting" again and discovered mint
for which he got s25O, 900. He went I,
Chicago to rival Mr.. Potter Palmer IL
wealth and returned just as he did from
New York--"aat strapped, as he would
have expressed 1t. He made still an
other fortune and went to San Francisco
where he died poor man.
Another Lewis and Clarke county
mine-the Drum Luminon--provides an
other such story. 1t was discovered BY
an Irish Immigrant named Thomas
Cruise. Although he owned it, he could
not get a sack Of flour on credit. He
sold 1t to an English syndicate foi
Sl,5o0,000. But he remains one of the

Though there is perfect quietness OF
Homestead there is still disquieting
feature connected with the situation.
The workmen, or at least those among
them who succeed In making them
selves heard, are still asserting that
the troops are on the spot merely for
the purpose OF watching the property.
that the mlll-owners shall never oper-
ate the mills again by outsiders. and
that the first appearance OF non-uniou
men will be the signal for renewed
violence. Such utterances are foolish
and reasonable, and will rebound to
the great injury Of the workiDgmen.
We can hardly believe that they re-
fleet the spirit and intentions OF tile
majority. But whether they do or
not, public opinion will not approve
them, and they will not be sustained
by the authorities. Order will be
maintained at Homestead ut all haz.
ards or those who create disorder will
suffer the penalty. The limo has not
come yet, that owners OF property will
not be permitted to use II in their own
way, because some workmen who do
not own the property dictate the men
who shall operate it.
The owners OF tho steel works have
right, not merely to hold the title Il
their property but to use it ne they
please within the law. They are under
q moral responsibility to exercise dis
erection ind good will, but they are
neither legally nor morally bound tc
surrender the control OF their prop
erty to any other persons whatsoever
and in the maintenance of their rights
the State ought to and will supper
them firmly and ei1eGtually. The
strikers themselves ought to see that
nothing less than this will be permit
ted, and therefore it will not only b,
futile. but criminal act, to prevent
the owners of the Homestead mill,
from operating them in their OWE
way.

A great majority of people, though
they have read aud heard great deal
about the Free Coinage Silver bill,
hardly know the real meaning OF it.
The New York Sun being asked by a
correspondent to define 1t and explain
IL in such a way that "way-faring
man though fool should not err
the SuN does so with the following
plalnness and exGetness;
Free silver means TINT owners OF
silver bullion shall have the right to
take 1t in unlimited quantities to the
mint and have IL coined into dollars
for them free OF charge. At present
the Government buys silver at tho
market price, and coins it on Its own
account into dollars worth, rs bullion.
seventy cents or thereabouts, but us
coins, one hundred cents. Under free
coinage the coined silver dollar would
drop TO its bullion value. and the
prices OF merchandise would rise pro-
portionately."
