A Pointer.

The following resolutions, from one
OF the leading sheepraisers of Choteau
county, were presented to the county
convention held at Fort Benton re-
Gently, but arrived too late for adop-
ton:
WHEREAS, The leaders and organs of
a great political party persistently
affirm that the removal of the protec-
tive tariff on wool will make the price
of that article higher than 1t is at
present in Montana, and at the same
time will make it lower in price in
Massachusetts,; and
WHEREAS, 1t is very evident to
many people that either the parties
who affirm that this peculiar eondi-
ton could exist, or the parties who
believe it, are - fools, and in need
OF alittle education in the first princi-
piles of common sense; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That We hereby respect
fully recommend to the present house
OF representatives at the national
capital assembled that they appoint
special committee OF their more
learned members in logic and mathe-
matics to give an opinion as to who
are occupying an idiotic position-the
aforesaid leaders and organs, or the
woolgrowers of Montana, the manu-
facturers of Massachusetts, and the
general public who would entertain
their views.

PEACE OvERTUREs sPURNED.
cattlemen Take Little Stock in the Promises
Of Rustlers.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 2.-Advances
looking to a compromise between the
stockmen and rustlers have been made
by representatives OF johnson county
The olive branch was extended in the
shape of a paper addressed to the cat
tie owners, which recites that the au-
thorities of johnson county invite all
cattle owners who have participated
in the recent armed invasion to send
trustworthy and discreet persons to
the ranches to look after the proper
rounding up and preservation of their
property. The paper, which was
signed by the county commissioners
and sheriff, pledges the cattlemen pro-
lection for their interests. The proc
lamation was received by the cattle
men with a feeling of resentment.
Fred G. Hess, manager for DIR. Harris,
said: "This thing is as gauzy as the
offers to protect our persons in John
son county. don't believe the Off
GERS OF the county able to protect us.
The rustlers own johnson county;
they say so, and none can dispute
The peacemakers that a new leaf is to
be turned over; that the best citizens
propose to stop stealing at any cost.
One emissary of North Franklin ex-
plains that there is to be reform in
the hope of retaining in the county
taxable wealth in the shape of herds
soon to be driven to Montana and
elsewhere"
The peace delegation from johnson
is much discouraged at the rebuff they
received from the cattlemen, but say
they will make other overtures and
hope to bridge over the difficulty.

Will Stand By II.

On taking the chair OF the Ohio state
convention, Major Mckinley spoke as
follows:
"We love all our leaders, but welove
our cause and our country better
than all of them. With us it is no
longer a question of promises. We
stand where We have always stood.
The tariff which we stand for is tar
i'll which shall protect the homes and
the firesides OF America against all the
world. And we need not be alarmed
as to the outcome. We are not deal
ing this year with a tariff bill four
weeks old, as we were in 1890. 1t was
then too young to speak for itself. 1t
is now eighteen months old and doing
its own talking. Great cheering and
lauehter.)
The tariff system that we uphold is
the American system and we propose
to stand right by it. Our opponents
say in attacking that system that the
last congress was a billion dollar con-
gress. My friends, it was two billion
dollar congress. By its enactments
we have increased the foreign and do
mestic trade of the United States to a
total of two billion in one year, point
never before reached since the founda-
ton of the American government.

Depew's Versatility.

Chauncey M. Depew's address at
Riverside was his third grafton on
General Grant. When General Porter
went to him to invite him to speak he
responded that it would not be pos
sible, as he had already spoken twice
on the subject. The general reioined
that Mr.. Depew could write over one
of his old orations and use its best
points. "But," said Mr.. Depew re-
proachfully to his friend, "that would
be nice thing to do, wouldn't it :?
And just at q time when some OF my
critical newspaper friends are declar.
ing that my powers are failing. No; If
| deliver the oration it will be new" I"
Concerning the reception of his Grant
Grafton by the vast Riverside assem-
blage General Porter said: GAS his
closing words were uttered / could
hear the tens of thousands OF voices
in applause and, turning, | saw the
intense and grateful eyes of Mrs.
Grant, who, with hand outstretched,
told Mr.. Depew that he had given her
home hero the highest and truest trib.
ute she ever heard paid to him. De
pew probably forgot the applause in
this commendation."

Reciprocity.

New York Tribune: The "deadly
policy of reciprocity" is leaving its
marks all over the world. The latest
indication of what it is accomplishing
for the benefit of the United States Is
given by the German consular reports,
which show falling off of 13, 900, 900
marks in sugar exports from the two
cities of Hamburg and Berlin alone.
This is ascribed to the reciprocity
treaties OF the United States with the
West Indian and South American
countries, and implies shifting of in
ternational trade to at least the ex-
tent mentioned, for the benefit OF the
United States. Reciprocity is a
"humbue" that the European rivals
of the United States do not find so di-
verting as do the detractors of the
Republican policy at home.

Cattlemen and Settlers.

The cattlemen say now that the fu-
ture of Wyoming is in issue; if the
present unpleasantness turns out un-
fortunately for them them they will
move their herds to Montana and the
state will be ruined.
Perhaps the cattlemen quite believe
this; but the removal of the great
cattle herds to Montana really de-
pends upon something much more
certain and determinable than the re-
suit OF a Jury trial i'm that region
namely, upon the Wyoming soils
aptability to agriculture Ii the
lands which the vast ranges now
cover can be farmed the cattlemen
will 60.
A situation almost identical with
that in Wyoming existed in western
Kansas and Nebraska a dozen or so
years ago. Settlers and little cattle
owners Kept coming into the territory
covered by the big ranges and taking
up homesteads along the waterways
and in other places where they inter
fered with the operations OF the
barons. The barons' cowboys drove
their herds across and trampled the
homesteads into the earth. Ere
auently the settler shared the barons
calves and steers. Each shot at tn,
| other as occasion offered.
About the elimination of the strif,
was an event that happened in west
ern Nebraska. A party of cattlemei
and cowboys tied a couple of settleri
to a tree, poured oil over them ant
set them afire.
The victims OF this pleasantly ma!
have been cattle thieves, as they wer
accused of being. But the settler
were getting pretty thick; the blaz
sort OF touched off public opinion an,
the cattlemen withdrew to the soutl
and west, as they will in Wyoming
the settlers want the land for them
lselves.-Chicago News.

A Billion Dollar Country, Sure.

As one OF the congressman remarked
not long ago, this is getting to be a
billion dollar country. He spoke thus
in defense of what is called the billion
dollar congress, and now for the first
time the exports of the United States
for twelve months have reached and
slightly exceeded 81 900, 100000 in
value. For the twelve months ending
March 31st, 1892, the exports were
valued at 81 ,OO6, ,2S4, ,506. The i'm
ports have also been very heavy,

list the proportion OF free imports has
risen from thirtyseven to fifty-five
per cent.-Philadelphia Ledger.

sea matter. Fortunately for the
country it had in the position OF secre-
tary OF state man of such large and
diplomatic ability that he settled
these questions by diplomacy. Blaine
had shown himself great statesman
by the manner in which he settled
these questions. When a man came
to be premier OF this government he
was not a partisan representing q
party. He was a statesman repre-
senting the country"
