CONCERNING the value of silver and
the probable effect Of the low prices
Bradstreet's has this to say: "1he
question Of production and supply OF
silver is of equal if not greater moment.
Reports have been current that the low
prices had already resulted in the shut
ting down OF several notable western
silver mines. The low-graae mines at
Aspen, Col, have been mentioned in
this connection, us we'll as other con
Germs in several states. 1t seems, how
ever that no general movement OF that
nature can be- recorded. In some
instances a reduction of wages has been
agreed on in order to justify operators
in continuing to work their mines. At
any rate the amount OF silver bullion
coming on the New York market was
never larger than it is at this moment,
and if there is to be any serious curtail-
ment of production 1t could only be pro-
duced by a more serious drop in values
sven than ahat which has just occurred.
The two principal forces which con-
tribute to making silver values accord
ingly do not present a very encouraging
aspect. The Indian demand, as has
been seen, is uncertain and liable to be
checked, while the production gives
little sign Of a sensible ourtailment.

THE WEATHER.
THE CATTLE RUs1LER.

The cattle rustler just now IS at
tracing much attention in this parto1
the country. 1t is probable that II the
romantic history Of the northwest Is
ever truly written this fellow VIII ps-
come a character even more interesting
than the Jack Oakhu1st Of Bret Harte's
romanCes.
When We learn that the cattle owners
Of Wyoming have found it necessary, 70
raise 4 fund Of 100000, hire 9 small
army Of Pinkerton detectives and Or
eanize at every point to protect thelr
property, the Importance Of the cattle
rustler becomes fully apparent. me
feuds of which we sometimes hear 9
in the southern states are really very
small and unimportant affairs when
compared to the war that is now in pro-
press against the cattle thieves. rms
element has been SO strong in the
northern part of Wyoming that men
who own herds have been afraid to
visit their cattle. From Red Lodge,
Montana, to Buffalo, Wyoming, the
thieves for the last six months have
practically conducted affairs to suit
themselves. Under the marking sys-
tenn. once used by the Molly McGuires,
they have selected cattle owners to be
assassinated on certain dates and have
filled most Of their engagements. just
now the shoe appears SO DO on the other
foot and if the thieves are not exterml-
mated in the course Of the next two
weeks, almost half the population Of
southern Montana and northern Wy
ominp will be involved in a general war
fare. a*
It is difficult for eastern people tt
understand the situation. When the,
read Of a wholesale lynching of cattle
thieves in this state they fancy there If
very little law and much less order. II
this connection it should be understood
that the troubles which are now aus
ing so much discussion are found IN
region where officers of the law are not
numerous and the men with whom they
have to deal number in the hundreds.
If cattle stealing is to stop, there il
but one way to accomplish it; and tina
is to kill the thieves. A few years ago
when this practice was so common il
Montana the cattle owners arose in
mass and started a warfare that did no
finish until a good many trees wert
decorated with dead mon. Nobod,
knows how many; though it is probable
that nearly 100 paid this penalty 70
their work. There has been very littl,
cattle stealing in this state since tina
time, and the warfare in Wyoming vii
very likely result in the same benefit.
Considering the conditions existing
the course of the cattle men IN takin;
matters in their. own hands seems en-
tirely justitiable,, for the reason tina
there is no other way to accomplis
their object. ..-%-

FREE WOOL WILL COME

The passage Of the free wool bill by
the house was of course expected
though tho country will be obliged to
wait another year before we have
the blessings of a removal Of taxes
on foreign woods. Montana is of course
most interested in this question because
she both produces raw wool and con-
sumes it in the manufactured state.
She does not, however, produce all quail
ties of wool, and in order that her pro-
duct may command the best prices and
markets it is necessary to open the
doors to certain qualities Of wool pro.
duced abroad. The efforts which have
been made from time to time to show
that all necessary grades of wool can DC
grown in this state have resulted ir
pitiful failures. 1t is certainly mos
foolish to attempt this sort of argumen'
when it is known that certain grade
never have been grown here and neve
have been successfully grown in an,
other part of the country. The Ameri
can Wool and Cotton Reporter as fla
back as 1885, had this to say
at is we'll known that neithe
our own country nor any othe
in the world does or can produce to ad
vantage wool of all kinds and grades
Experience under high protection c
wool in this country for over twent
years has demonstrated that our dones
tic wool growers find it to their advan1
age to produce only the staple WOODS re
quired for the ordinary range of woole
fabrics; and as these fabrics will alway
be IN demand, they build up their flock
a work OF time, for the production on
of f1eeces which will be profitable for
long series of years. This system, q
though providing admirable raw mate
ial for common goods, is %incompatib

The Spanish government has taken
severe methods to rid the country Of the
dynamite nuisance. Hereafter, all
people found in possession of dynamite
bombs and convicted Of the intention Of
using them will receive sentences OF
penal servitude for life. Assuming that
the ordinary citizen does not carry
dynamite except for purposes Of killing
the action Of the Spanish government
seems quite in a line with justice.

Unfortunate Phraseology.

1t will take some time to detect and
point out all the weak places in the Min
neapolis platform. That platform is an
omniuns gdtherm. Its component parts
came from the ends of the earth. Its
trainers tried to obtain there little and
there little political capital, but were
too careless in gathering their material
They devoted twice as much space to the
oppressed negro as to the oppressed Jews
In Russia and the Irish. and although they
had already given the negro double por-
ton of space in the platform they did not
hesitate TO include him with the Jews OF
Russia when this part of the platform was
reached. We quote from the platform as
follows:
1.-The Republican party has always been the
champion Of the oppressed and recognizes the
dignity Of manhood, irrespective OF faith, color,
or nationality; 1t sympathizes with the cause OF
home rule in Ireland and protests against the
persecution OF the Jews in Russia"
The white persons for whose benefit this
plank was inserted in the Republican plat
form will not thank the Republicans for
including them amongst the negroes. The
Irish voters in this country are not to be
tolled into the Republican ranks by the
use of such language. To say that the Re-
publicans mixed up the Russian Jews and
the Irish with the American negroes Is to
say that the Republicans really felt no
sympathy whatever with either the Irish
or the Israelites in Russia. We trust that
the Democratic National Convention will
emphasize this blunder of the Republicans.
Indeed, the Irish are so generally Demo-
Gratis and such good Democrats that il
would be criminal in the Chicago conven-
ton not to censure this left-handed com.
plment to the sons Of Erin.
