When the returns were III on the
election night of last November, the
country knew that the tariff would be
reformed, and if actual fear of this Is
the cause of closing down factories, we
wuold very much like to know why
they were not closed months ago. We
would like to have this explanation
furnished by one Of the several Repub-
lican newspapers which now insist that
the tariff will not be touched for a year
or more.
Cleveland's man, Friday, Of the Hell
ena Independent is responsible for
the above. When it was settled that
Grover Cleveland was elected president
of the United States and when it was
ascertained that the Democracy would
be in full possession of all branches of
the government, distrust at once took
hold of the great enterprises of the
country and the work of contraction
begun. As a matter of fact the Demo
Gratis raked in more than they expected
and more than they now know what to
do with. By villainous falsehoods and
appeals to the prejudices of those whom
they are now making idlers and beg
CARS, they have Gagged a "white ele-
plant" which they do not know how
to handle. The tariff, if it is rob
hing and depressing the people, should
be touched" at once. But it is a lie
that Democratic organs now refrain
from repeating. All our ills are laid Mt
the door of silver, though the Indepen-
dent has not the courage to endorse
Mr.. Cleveland's position on that point.
If there is no tariff legislation within IL
year it will be because Mr.. Cleveland
and his party are afraid TO take up the
question. Mr.. Carlisle has said that
wool would be on the free list six
months after the assembling of con
gress." Perhaps Mr.. Carlisle may
have changed his opinion by this time.
With the closing of factories all over
the east and the promise of bread riots
before mid-winter, there is not much
danger of tariff legislation. The party
has worked ruin enough already.

QUE MINING CAMPS.
Three Gold Mills in Operation Turning Out
the Yellow Meal.

Matters at the Gilt Edge mine are APP
parently progressing favorably. The new
solution to replace that which was burned
in the recent fire, arrived last Thursday
and the new mill started up promptly the
next morning. While it necessarily takes
some time and patience to get the new
machinery to work well the management
are satisfied that the process was all that
was claimed for it.. Quite a number of
men are employed in mill, and work goes
on all the time. working both day and
night shifts. President T. +. Collins and
j. Il. Arlington are both at the mine.
Considerable building is going on at Gilt
Edge. Young & Dance have their hotel
well under way, Tbos. Mortified is running
Il restaurant, John Arnold is also erect
ing n large and substantial livery stable.
Beaupre & Mattoek have a varied assert
ment OF drugs and general merchandise,
Diah Clark and Graham & O'DonnelI are
running well supplied bars, a number OF
residences are going up and the town has a
general appearance of push and rustic.
The forts Of the Gilt Edge people are
worthy OF success and they have the well
wishes OF the entire community.
Rowe & WILDER are running a four-horse
daily express between Gilt Edge and Lew
istown.
The editor of the Mud Geyser WIS.,
tied Gilt Edge last Saturday. As he did
not leave a nickle in the camp it is pre-
sumed he carried his wet goods with him
and went to a ranch for his dinner.
At Spotted Horse work is being pushed
on the Double Eagle properties. A large
amount of high grade ore is shown up, the
mill is running to its full capacity and the
property has the appearance of being IN
der ADLER management han ever before in
its history.
The family of ]. W. Provard, the mana
ger, arrived last week and are now domi-
ciled at the mine. The wife and young son
of Mr.. Green, the rew book-keeper, also ar
rived las Saturday and will become resi-
dents.
The Maginnis mill is again under the
management of w. H. Burgess and is said
to he working a large amount of high grade
ore from the Black Bull mine.

would not have aroused antagonism
or caused the attempt to deprive the
industry of all protection. Mr.. Bower
was very anxious for the election of
Harrison and in a few remarks made
before the Lincoln club last fall said,
''free wool means a reduction of from
So to $40 a month in thepay of every
herder in Fergus county" Even Mr..
Bower did not then anticipate that
his prophecy would be fulfilled so soon
after Cleveland's election. Mr.. Bower
is entitled to his views, but we cannot
agree with him. III a tariff is not high
enough to protect it virtually amounts
to free trade and is of little benefit.
As regards our attitude and that OF
the ARGUS in the past. Many OF our
readers are familiar with the situation
just prior to the change of ownership.
For a brief time it looked as though
the ARGUS would be forced into the
Democratic or independent field. The
presence OF another paper claiming to
be Republican and encouraged by a
few Republicans made some step
necessary. Had the ARGUS taken an
independent position no particular
change in it's tone would have taken
place. Had it become Democratic Mr..
Fell would have been in editorial
charge. We would have been part
owner in a Democratic paper until
such time as we could have disposed OF
our interest either to Mr.. Fell or some
one else advantageously. But happily
a way was found out of the dilemma.
When a showdown came we parted
company on political grounds. We
could not agree or the proposition to
make the ARGUS a partisan paper. Mr..
Fell offered his interest for SO, OOOcash
or would purchase our for the same
figure. AS we did not feel ableto assume
the responsibility alone we appealed to
Republicans to aid us to some extent
in the purchase and thereby secure an
old established paper. Instead OF
81 900 being subscribed, as Mr.. Hilger
asserts, only $500 was pledged, out
OF which amount we realized $3.50,
and though the transfer was made in
the fall OF 1890, the last payment was
made on the plant on May 5th OF the
present year. We state the above in
no spirit OF complaint or fault finding
against Republicans, but to correct
M error. We have performed our
part to the pest OF our ability and
shall endeavor to do so in the future.
We agree with Mr.. Hilger that news
paper plants as well as sheep and real
estate have shrunk in value since the
Democracy came into power and no
man is wise enough to tell where and
when it is going to end.

The climax Of infamy has been
reached by the administration in TIE
treatment of old soldiers. A Ports
mouth, Ohio, special, dated July Both,
says: Secretary Hoke Smith was
hung in effigy by enrsged citizens of
Rome, a little town of Adams county,
last night. A pumbero of pensions have
been suspended there, creating much
i'll feeling, but the climax was reached
when the pension of ]. l.. Reed, a vet
eran of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry.
aged 63, was dropped. Reed served
four years and five months and his
pension was his sole support. When
he received the news of the suspension
he became a raving maniac. Citizens,
ed by John Furnier, a Democrat, hung
Smith in etfigy in the presence of over
1000 people irrespective OF party affili-
atoms" No n objects to an honest
and fair revision and enforcement of
the pension laws. But the present nd-
ministration takes every opportunity
to show its malignant hatred of the
Union soldiers. Who would have
thought that within a generation the
offspring and descendant of those
most active in their efforts to destroy
the government would have the power
to take away the support of a Union
veteran and send him to an asylum

The meanest robber we have heard
of yet outside of the gold bug center
of New York, has made his appearance
down in In Iowa. At Council Bluffs a
mar entered a prayer meeting of the
entire congregation to hold up hands.
Charles Golf, who VAS praying at the
time, arose from his knees and grappled
the stranger. A severe tussie followed
and a revolver was discharged. The
ball struck a truss worn by Golf and
was DETECTED, doing no serious injury.
The robber then fled. The moral of
this is that you must divide your faith
between God and n steel truss.

Recent discov cries have demonstrated that
ali the organs OF the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centerS. located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When IL is re-
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, il will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement OF the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action OF the nerve centers at
the base of the brain. not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist. has profoundly studied this subject FOR
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with il, chief among
them being the facts contained In the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness. dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, st.
Nitus dance, etc.. are nervous diseases no

A Root That IL Often Quoted a,
Being the Most Valuable.

A Root That IL Often Quoted as
Being the Most Valuable.
High prices are often paid at certain
times for drugs, such as quinine, CO.
caine and others, but a drug is used in
New China which in actual value far
surpasses anything which has been
known here.
The substance in question is called
ginseng, and is the root Of Aralia quin-
quefolia. 1t is SO highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that 1t is sold at from twenty to two
hundred and fifty times it's weight in
silver, sometimes for five hundred times
that amount. Pearson's Monthly states,
however, that 1t possesses no important
medicinal properties. Next to China
the drug is produced in good quality in
Corea, and is the principal article Of
export from Corea into China. So
much is this the case that the Coreans
are 10th to part with any seeds Of the
plant lest their practical monopoly in
this root should be invaded.
The wonder is that with such a much
uSeu COuulOulty " SuCu a price StcpS
are not taken to cultivate it in sutti-
cient quantity so as to adjust the bal
nee between supply and demand. The
reduction, for example, in the price Of
quinine was largely the result of in
creased cultivation of the cinchona
plant, and the same may be said Of
cocaine in respect to the cocoa plant.
Perhaps, however, the foreign substi-
tutes of the real product, ginseng, which
reach the Chinese markets from North
America and elsewhere, interfere with
the native production. But with silver
in one scale and portions of the highly
esteemed root in the other, it seems
reasonable to conclude that the cultiva-
ton Of the Aralia qu%inquefola in North
China would be remunerative, whatever
the cost and Il ouble.

Frozen Fruits.

A good thing about the banana is
that it is imported nearly all the year
around, and it is quite as cheap in win
ter rs it is in summer. 1t is especially
appreciated in winter in our climate,
because of the scarcity Of many ether
fruits. And this rem 1d* me that my
good friend Eugene Blackford, the emf
nent pisciculturist, once undertook at
nv suggestion to put some watclmal-
ons way in his refrigerator in mid
summer and see bow lliey would come
out at Christmas. The day before
Christmas 1 received a solidly frozen
watermelon. 1t was a refreshing sight.
l left it for hours iii cold water to get
out the frost, and then had to chop it
open with a hatc:,et. 1t was frozen
solidly. The beautiful red inside was
still solid and sweet, but the moment
the warm air melted it it became an
insipid, mushy mass. Tho next year
Mr.. Rlackford sent me for my New
Years dinner some corn on the cob
frozen. 1t came on the table looking
as toothsome and smelling as appetiz-
ing as the hot OFT of October, but it
was ashes to the taste. I think this Was
the end Of my friends experiments
with frozen fruits and vegetables.-New

Two Strange Death Customs.

In some parts Of England a queer Gus
tom is still in vogue, which is repeated
whenever a death occurs. 1t is called
the bite of sin,' and whenever some
one in the house dies a piece of bread
is laid on the breast of the corpse which
some stroller by is persuaded to eat
for a good sum Of money. In This way
it is believed that the sins Of the dead
are transferred to the living, who III
turn can shove them off together with
his own by a similar ceremony when his
life comes to an end. On the Sandwich
islands the widows have the names
Of their departed husbands tattooed Oh
their Dispatch.
