UNCLE SANS BAD HAHfra

A writer in the Washington Post b as
found a remedy for hard times. He es-
Inmates that the government owes to
various creditors throughout the coun-
try at least fifty million dollars. Much
of this money has not been called for
because people do not know that it is
due them. In thousands of cases tho
government has simply put its creditors
oil to a more convenient season. The
writer believes that if Unole Sam would
promptly pay his just debts the general
situation throughout the country would
be greatly relieved. He would have n
list OF the governments creditors pub
lished and their claims met on demand.
This would get a great deal of money in
circulation.
Uncle Sam is not the only sinner,
however. Panics would hardly be felt
at all except for the fact that people,
when money Is easy, incur debts beyond
their ability to pay. 1t is the suspicion
that people are unable to pay that pre-
cipitates distrust and collapse. When
such periods do come the quickest yay
out of them is for people to begin to
pay their debts as rapidly as possible.
Unfortunately times like these devotion
the spirit Of greed and selishnoss in
many men. They will not pay Just
debts even though they have the money
to do 80, because they can take adyan-
tage OF the situation. Other men avoid
meeting obligations because they SEQ
their n%eighbors doing SO, and thus
money which is Of no use except when
in circulation is hidden away. Perhaps
II Uncle Sam would lead off by paying
what be owes he would have mitators
throughout the country.

THE WEATHER.


Already the boomers are gathering by
the hundreds along the border Of the
Cherokee strip which will be opened for
settlement Sept. 16. Former scenes will
be repeated. There will be one grand
rush for land supposed to flow with milk
and honey, where the farmer tolls not,
but grows. rich year by year, depending
entirely upon the Lord for the increase.
Most of them, of course, will be disap-
pointed. The limited amount Of desira-
BILE farm land will be gobbled up by the
lucky few, and the rest of them Will have
undergone privations and hardships for
nothing, and will find themselves, rs
winter comes on. destitute in a barren
land. How much better off those de-
luded boomers would be if they would
come to Montana and settle in any one
OF the numerous fertile valleys of this
state and quietly go about the business
OF legitimate farming. ALI the hard
ships and disadvantages of q furious
scramble for good land would be avoided.
In Montana there are millions Of acres
of the richest farming lands to be had
on the easiest terms, abundantly sup
piled with water. good prices for the
abundant crops that never fail under
our bitches, plenty of grass for all kinds
Of stock, and work in the winter time in
the lumber camps and mining camps of
the state for man and team.
Farming in Montana is as easy work
as in any state in the union. Adequate
returns never fail, land in desirable loca-
tions Is abundant, the advantages OF
good schools and good neighbors are to
be had, and good health is enjoyed by
all who live orderly lives. There is to-
day room in Montana for thousands Of
thrifty, industrious farmers, each of
whom could be provided with a quarter
section OF fertile land lying under
bitches that furnish unfailing supplies
of water. The farmer who tills irrigated
land is not dependent upon the vagaries
of rain. His supply of water is unfail-
ing and is under his control. Drenching
rains that come too soon nor drouths
which stay too long have any terrors
for him. He plows and plants and reaps
each year.
II these boomers now camped along
the Cherokee strip were wise they would
forthwith turn their horses heads to-
ward Montana.

The house will begin voting on the
silver question Tomorrow. Though Of
course the result cannot be foretold
with absolute accuracy, there is strong
ground for the belief that a majority
will be found for the unconditional re-
peal OF the silver purchase clause of tho
Sherman law. There seems to be
equally strong reason TO believe that a
majority OF the senate will vote for the
free coinage of silver when that body
gets around to the voting phase. If this
should prove to be the case the matter
will then be put into the hands of con
ference committees and the woA of
etiecting n compromise will be uHar-
taken. What the final result will be is.

View of the Infant Terrible.

There was a middle-aged woman at
the Grand Central station the other
morning, a V the New York World,
attired in a dull, dark-red cloth travel
ing gown of the conspicuously incon-
conspicuous order. She was much adj
mired by a little girl who held a gayly-
dressed doll in her arms. By and by
the well-dressed woman arose and
moved across the waiting room, lifting
her train as she did so, and revealing a
silk lining of the most gorgeous char
acter. 1t was of a warm shade of red,
shot with a golden light that shimmered
as she moved, and a couple of p~inked-out
dust ruf1es added to its elegance. The
little girl watched in ~opened-eyed Won
der, and then said to her mother: Nam
ma, why do suppose that lady wears her
dress wrong side out? Is it to keep the
right side clean?"

A Freak OF Lightning.

A man who gets his clothes wet in a
thunderstorm may take comfort from
the following remarkable tale recently
published in a New York paper: Three
men took shelter from a thunderstorm
under a pollard willow. A fash of
lightning struck the tree and took in
one man. 1t did not injure him In the
least, but threw him down and violent
ly stripped off his clothes, which were
hurled a distance of twenty yards. The
explanation given is that the clothes
were stripped from the man by light
ming just as bark is stripped from a
tree. The discharge finds a moist pas
sage down between the bark and the
trunk, converting the moisture into
steam and thus blowing off the bark.
It is supposed that the mans clothes
had become drenched by the rain, and
by a similar generation of steam there
had been an explosion severe enough to
reid his things from him and throw
him to the ground. Fortunately for
him his wet clothes had formed a better
conductor than his W body"

IN RUSSIA,
The Miserable Railway Accommodation
for the Poor.

II 4HlSCTdDtc halfway
for the Poor.
1t is wonderful how much travel is
done by the poor class in Russia. The
third-class cars are always full. They
are, according to the Cleveland Leader,
more like cattle cars than ANYTHING
else. There are no cushions or the
seats, and the people are crowded in in
all sorts of ways. They are notsupposed
to have any rights that the railroad
officials are bound to respect, and l saw
one man knocked down and showed
back into the station just as the car
was o to start because he did not
nave his ticket in his hand. He told
the guard hat the party of peasants
with whom he was travelling had the
ticket and they had already gotten on
the cars, but this did him no good, and
though he cried and howled he was
held back while the a bore his friends
and his family away. The peasant can
not travel in Russia without a pass
port. | have not had to show nv pass
port at the railroad depots except when
| came into Russia, but the peasant
dare not go from one part of Russia to
the other without permission of the
local government under which he
lives, and he is asked to show his pass
port at the ticket office.
At TambOff / saw a whole crowd of
peasants who were about to emigrate to
another province. Each had his pass
port in his hand and they stood in single
file waiting their turns to buy their
tickets. 1t was at this same station
that l saw my first prison car. Russian
roads ave cars especially devoted to
the carrying Of prisoners, and the pris-
oners which are taken from here to ST.
IBERIA go by rail to Nijni-Novgorod,
whence they are put on prison boats
and are carried down the Volga and up
the river Kama to Perm and thence
start on their march to the wilds Of ST.
IBERIA. These cars had iron oars and
windows, and they are guarded by sol
diers who are ready to shoot n who
try to escape. The cars themselves are
third-class ones, and the prisoners sit Cd
hard boards rather than cushions.

cook in great houses disdains to expose
herself to the jokes of the market wom-

QUEEN VICTORIA'S POWER.

The queen Of England has never We
toed a bill since she assembled the
throne; she could not have vetoed one
without causing a revolution. The
sovereign of Great Britain does not
rule, she reigns. That Is, the whole
management of the kingdom is in the
hands Of a committee of the house of
commons and house of Lords called the
cabinet; they + the government and
responsible to parliament and the peo-
pie. They remain in power so long as
they can keep a majority IN the house
of commons behind them. Now, if the
queen should veto a bill which the gov
eminent wished to have signed, the
members of the government would re-
sign and the queen would have to ask
some other members to form a govern
ment But they would not obtain h
majority in the house of commons, and
30 could not do anything; and the
queen would nave to ask the ministers
whose bill she had vetoed to return to
power. They would refuse to return

parliament would be at odds and ends;
everyone would be indignant at the
queens ~venturing to refuse to do some.
thing which the peoples representa-
tives wished her to do; and unless she
turned about very promptly she would
find herself minus a throne. The queen
might dissolve parliament, but there
would be no one in Office to issue writs
for a new parliament, SO things would
still be at loose ends. The sovereign
has the right of veto still; but the right
has not been exercised since 1907 and is
practically out of date in Great Britain.
