a SELF SUPPORTING STATE.

In general we do not like the boycott
-either the word or tho practice. But
with the movement D. Montana mer-
chants against Dakota -four We are
partly in accord, for the reason that IL
will serve to call the attention of our
people to the necessity Of making Mon
tana moro independent Of other states
and nearer self-supporting. lHE INDIE
PENDENT time and again has called At
tention to the great agricultural posi-
bilities of the state. and to the manner
IN which they have hitherto bsen neg
lected Take this very item OF flour.
We ought to be maiSi". enough OF IL
within the borders OF ths state not only
to supply our ownp eopl~, but to export.
We know it has been asserted by some
that our wheat was not OF rs good quail
i,y as that of Minnesota and North Da-
kota; but that theory, like the assump-
ton that fruit would not grow in Mon
taua, has been dispelled. With we'll
selected seed, thoroughly prepared coil,
and proper attention to milling, our
wheat will yield the very finest grade OF
-four, and there is no limit to the guam
tity Of grain that may be grown in our
fertile valleys.
In another column we give an inter-
view with Mr.. E. D. Edgerton, who has
been making a study especially of the
Gallatin valley region. He speaks from
personal knowledge Of the antages
of that section as a wheat growing coun-
try. The facts he lays before the reader
will serve to open the eyes OF our people
to their neglected opportunities. Right
on the Worlds fair grounds to-day they
are making tests of tho flour made from
wheat grown in the different states, and
by actual experiment it has been proved
that for bread-making purposes Mon
tana -four is the best of all.
Is it not high time that our people
got out of some of their old ruts and no.
tions? Not many years ago the popular
impression of even the people who lived
here was that, if the placer diggings
gave out, the country was fit only for
stock ranges. This view has been
greatly modified, but still too much i'm
portance is attached to mining. Great
as this business is it is not our sole
source of wealth. The setback we have
had in this direction should serve to
show the folly of narrowing our posi-
bilities down to single industry. The
case of Colorado frequently has been
cited as showing the lines along which
Montana should develop. We shall
not see unbroken and unshalsen pros
perity here until we establish Montana's
right to be recognized as something
moro than mining state. Colorado
produces from her farms moro than
forty million dollars worth of grains and
fruits annually. Within the next three
years the yield Of Montana farms should
be made to reach that figure. Then,
when depression comes in tho mining
business, we can better afford to talk
about the boycott.

creased revenue from imports, TO re-
duce government salaries, and de-
cree has been issued by the president
providing that from July LIST to De-
cember lst of this year, the salaries Of
all government employees shall suffer
the following discounts:
Those up TO S6O2.25 per annum, )
per cent.
Those between S6O2.25 and SlOO0l0,
q discount of y per cent.
Those above SIO60.l0, 10 per cent
A like discount will be made in the

tits not exactly satisfactory tc

which is now being conducted
august ., 5, and - at Lahaina,
under Judge Daniels of Waikiki.
1t is trial for commitment at the
December term of court, of five
members of the former suspended
board of trustees of the Lahaina
church, who withstood the new
board of trustees in the exercise of
their rights in the use Of the Wal

During the first part of the trial
the aim was to prove this act OF
resistance, which was given with
sufficient fullness. But the real
gist Of the matter came up when
the question was raiSed-which is
the rightful boardH The answer to
this question rests with the further

OF expulsion Of a ooutmuacious

being done, or to show how closely

Mn. EDITOR Il notice my name
brought forward in the editors col
umn in your last issue, in connec-
ton with 2 report to the board OF
health in 1886. That report con-
tanned some printers errors and
omissions.
Leprosy was endemic here in
1886 and is more so today.
The report of the leprosy COM
mission in India with DR.. Beavan
Neave Rake, a previously avowed
anti-contagionist, at its head, does
not alter my opinion of the disease
in Hawaii. In certain cases lepro-
sy Is 4 communicable and infective
disease, and peculiarly so to the
unfortunate native Hawaiian. l
am in favor of EFFECTIVE segrega-
ton, not so much on account of the
vexed question Of contagion, but
for the following reasons:
|. Leprosy is an incurable dis
ease TO date.
,. Leprosy as it develops be-
comes a most revolving and often
sive disease to sight and smell and
the sufferer is a burden to himself.
8. Were it not for some form of
segregation here the thoughtful and
conservative element of the COM
munity would be always in fear of
the disease, and quite rightly too,
as leprosy spreads by ways I'M
known.
1. Leprosy is a direct menace to
the health of every native Hawai-
ian; in a lesser degree nonational- |
ity domiciled here is safe from its |
ravages.
). Leprosy occupies Il prominent |
rank as an eXterminator of the ma /
tive Hawaiian. Of $4,000 natives /
about 1000 are lepers or suspects.
Today over 1000 natives are lepers
at the settlementll
Those who live amongst lepers
soon become impressed with the
terrible nature of the disease, and
the inutility of mans efforts to
check it when once established in /
the system. A MoURITz.

KISSING THE BARNEY
STONE.
But Those Who Are Doing II in
Chicago Are Fooled.

When the newspapers told of the
removal of the Blarney stone to
Chicago and Of its having been set
up in the Irish village at the fair,
to be kissed by all who would, a
cold horror spread over the coun-
try, at the thought of the
huge crop Of coming political
political stump speakers and bunco
steerers. All this fear, however.
was without foundation, and those
gentlemen who have secured a
nomination or set up a green goods
mandatory and then kissed the
Chicago Blarney stone will be as
badly fooled as the turkey who
swallowed an Egyptian scarab and
calmly waited for his meal to di-
gest. According to the Irish pa
pers the Blarney stone has never
left Ireland and is still doing bust
ness at the old stand, children half
price.
The Cork Constitution in cor
respondenee from Queenstown
says:
Visitors TO the Worlds Fair who
expect to kiss stone purporting
to be the famous Blarney stone
Will feel abaShed when they learn
that it is not genuine. When the
cablegram from America reached
here, stating that hundreds of poll
ticians were tiockiug to the Irish
village at the Worlds Fair
to kiss the Blarney stone,
which, it is alleged, Lady Aber-
deem was instrumental in having
sent to Chicago, the ever-vigilant
United States consul at Queens
town, Mr.. H, G. KreSS, determined
to satisfy himself whether the orr
ginal stone had actually crossed
the Atlantic ocean, and, in order
that there should be no doubt on
his mind, he journeyed to Blarney
last evening, being accompanied
by a weH-6uown town commits /
sioner, who has hundreds Of times
visited the well.kpowu spot and in
the days of his youth kissed the
stone of fame, On arriving at the /
castle, Mr.. Kress interviewed the |
cdremker, and learned that the
stone had never been removed from
its position, not even a slice Of IL /
had been taken, butremained there
as ever intact and also aScertaiped /
that no portion whatever Of the |
