CARD FROM MIR. MACKNIGHT.

To THE INDEPENDENTS: In thanking you
Tor your very kind notice regarding my re-
moval to Great Falls, and in view OF some
of the remark1 you made in that connec-
ton, and OF tho assertions of President
Harrison's Helena organ to the effect that
"a prominent republican editor has been en-
gagged to manufacture democratic thunder
for the Great Falls Tribune" | beg to re-
cite sorae of the considerations which have
led to my change of base and also
of my political fealty. I need scarcely tell
you that have never been a politician and
certainly never n partisan. Ny political
creed is summed up in what seems at anv
given time to be for the best of the country
and its people. and l have become convinced
within tho last few months, to my own COM
plete satisfaction, that the democratic party
comes nearer to being the party of the pso-
pic at this time than any which is before
the people for support.
L do not doubt that the republican and
democratic parties each intend to bo pa
tr'otlc. Their aims are generally high and
there ls NJ imminent danger of ruin to tho
republic from the success of either of Thorn.
Ono or them must succeed in the present
contest, as. according to my Judgment, tho
other movements which have gained more
or less Ut ength will reully play an unim-
rortant part in the affairs of the cam aipn.
There are several specific reasons, in nv
OPINION, why the democratic party should
be supported by all the people in this cam.
palRn. In the first place it's candidate for
president 10 a man of absolute honesty. Nv
republican friends naturally suppose that
do not love the president on account of the
prince" his son, but l believe that nv
mind is entirely free from prejudice
in ths conclusions l have renched, and be-
lievlnp this to be the case, | say unreserved-
ly that | do not think the sams NAV be said
OF President Harrison. My reason for tax
ing this Wow is drawn fr1m the oircum :
stancss attending the republican conyen-
ton and its deliberations at Minneapolis.
There were apparent in tho scheminp and
the wire pulling practiced at that ccnyeu-
ton many things which were discrcditab le
to a chief executive of this nation. II was
clear that tho president had bsen planning
for months. or perhaps from the day he was
inaugurated at the White house, to ssoures u
second term. All the power of the federnI
patronage, OF threats to those in office and
promises to those ont. WIS brought to bsar
to accomplish the desired result, and the
really popular candidate of the republican
masses. James G. Einine, was slauphtered

AS TO HABITS OF LIFE

Who shall decide when the old boys
differ so radically over the habits of life
that tend to longevity? The other day
we published the views on this subject
of DR.. Edward Everett Hale, aged
seventy-one. He tells us that a man
should sleep ten hours out of twenty
four and that he follows this habit him
self; he believes in taking nourishment
six times a day, weak coffee diluted with
milk on rising, breakfast an hour later,
coffee again at II a. m., dinner at one,
supper at seven, and a bowl OF soup, or
something light, before going to bed.
The good doctor believes in retiring, as
a rule, at $50 p. m. and rising at 6:3O
a. IN. and getting an hours nap in the
afternoon. He believes that three hours
brain work is enough, that a man should
not work his brain after three o'clock in
the afternoon and that he ought to take
open air exercise every day, rain or
shine.
sui along comes another genial old
philosopher, DR.. Charles A. Dana. who
admits that he is seventy-three years
young, and pooh-poohs DR.. Hale's
scheme. He thinks the Boston mode Of
life would be d~readfully boresome. He
has no objection to DR.. Hale's living
that way if he chooses, but he says, eve
cannot all follow his example or adont
his habits or spend our time as he
spends his. A good many of us do not
want to, and would not like to do as he
does. 1t would be a prosy life for some
people. They could not stand it. They
would rather sleep seven or eight hours.
eat twice or thrice a day, work eight or
ten hours, and then have four or five
hours to use in any way they please"
We think DR.. Dana has the right of if,
and he is not altogether right either. A
universal habit of living can no more he
prescribed than can a universal diet,
Tastes and desires differ IN this respect,
lis in all Others. Some men can work
fourteen hours a day as easily as Others
can work four. Some men do their
best thinking after midnight, in spite OF
DR.. Hale's warning not to do any after

In many respects Montana ia q state
only In name. While the Dakotas and
Washington, which were admitted at
the same time, and Idaho which came
into the union a year later, have located
their state universities and other insti-
buttons, and availed themselves Of the
liberal gifts for these purposes granted
by the general government, Montana
has nothing. Everything is compelled
to wait until the people Of the state de-
termine whether they will remov the
capital from Helena. While no n
can find fault with ambitious communi-
ties that think they are better situated
and offer more facilities and "
fences for the transaction Of public bus
mess than this city, yet it certainly will
be unfortunate il the voters Of Montana
do not consider this matter very
seriously and determine this fall
whether the capital shall be removed
to another point or not. Our mechanics
and artisans are looking forward, ex-
peotantly to employment or the public
works that the state must undertake; our
men and are awaiting
with Impotence the opening Of our in
for higher education, and in
svery community in the state there will
be disappointment it at the election in
it is found that the vote has
been SO scattered that the state must
for two years more not IL whit
advanced beyond her territorial condi-
Decide it now.

BRIEF studies from a car window
ought to convince the newcomer of the
possibilities of agriculture in Montana.
The Gallatin valley at this time is a vast
plain studded with golden piles of har-
vested grain and bright with promises
of fruitful toll. The great fields of
eastern Dakota and Minnesota show
nothing like it. 1t is but one of many
regions in Montana equipped with all
that nature can offer and bears evidence
that no state in the union offers SO
many striking advantages to farmers
willing to work on intelligent and broad
gagged lines.

TINE HEK.
WHERE Is THE RESPONSIBILITIES

When the Ceur d'Alene troubles
were at a climax, Judge William II
Clagpett gave a novei and interesting
theory OF the real causes OF h uprls-
ing, a theory we'll worth investigating
and one likely to attract general inter
est if tho wave Of labor troubles in
creases.
Judge Claggett holds the we'll known
eocialistic writer Edward Bellamy re-
~sponsible for the beginning of the trou-
bles. He says that the famous book,
"Looking Backward" has been circu-
lated among and studied by the miners
OF the Cuur d'Alene region until their
minds have become impregnated with
the Bellamy ideas. As the beauties OF
his Utopia grew on their vision restless
ness and dissatisfaction followed and in
creased until with other conditions a
terrible outbreak aesulted.
However this may be the theory sug-
gests a broad and inviting field for stu
dents of social affairs. 1t may be we'll
questioned by some whether such books
as "Looking Backward and Caesars
Column" are not productive of untold
harm and whether the subtle means
employed to make the books attractive
to the masses are not the most danger
GUS forms of socialistic teachings. It is
manifestly true to-day that a wide
spread and ominous discomfort exists
among the masses of American day
laborers. It is also true hat despite
authority of law and the presence of
troops they have in many instance de-
liberately risked life to destroy property
in the full knowledge that they must
be defeated.
The actual source of the s%ullenness
and hatred of these men SO apparent is
not so easy to determine. It is not rea-
sonable to suppose that intelligent and
hard working laborers are to be swayed
by the wild teachings of the Herr Most
school. They are primarily not the
class of men to be governed by Wild
eyed and fierce visaged towards who
yell for the destruction of everything.
Neither is it reasonable to suppose
that the average workingman has made
researches into the history of labor or
has given a critical study to the cold
and abstrues dogmas of social philos.
ophy; however intelligent he may be he
has no time for these things.
That which interests is first made
attractive. 1t is all very we'll for
Mr.. Bellamy or Mr.. Donnelly to
picture beautiful conditions but they
should first give practical working
methods for bringing these conditions
about. If they cannot do this they
should avoid the subject. When
images like these take form in the minds
OF visionary men the danger line is lost
unless remedier are at hand.
