Coolers LETTER.

The following are only a few of the
of the state press on c. l..
Coder's letter:
Coder is out in a letter in his own de-
Tense. Shydes of Judas Iscariot!-Butte
Inter Mountain.
Total oblivion is the policy for Coder.
His explanations have been too long III
pickle.-Great Falls Tribune (Dem.)
c. l.. Cooler, one of the infamous six
of the last legislature, has the unlim-
tied gall to print a dunn of rot in n
Lewistown paper in extenuation of his
treachery.-Valley County News.
Taking Coolers best version of the
affair, desertion number one Is only
yelled Ivy slimsy expedlency, and de-
sertion number two Is ~biackened by
personal revenge, a viper that has
tempted men To dishonor in every age
since the world began. Coolers ex-
PLANTATION amounts to the strongest pos
sible conyicting testimony.-Great
Falls Leader.
Coolers letter and those petitions for
federal appointments signed caucus
nominees ought to- be bound in calf
and made II part of Montana's exhibit
at Chicago. They would ne interesting
rs curiosities in politics, but they would
also serve n lofty purpose in showing
the millions of people how great a ca
lanlity the state escaped.-Anaconda
Standard (Dem.l
c. l.. Coder, who last fall was elected
to the Montana legislature by pretend
ing in Fergus county to be Il Republi-
can, has finally written a newspaper
article Of over IA column, trying to ex-
plain his action i'll deserving the Repub-
licans and voting for { ark for senator.
One part of his explanation is that 1t
was trade and swap" all through the
session, and he had a right to swap to
Clark to gain votes for a pet measure
for himself. If ar. Coder acts upon
that hypothesis, it is but reasonable to
carry the parallel II trihe further anu
conclude that as il was ''buy and self'
all through the session, Coder had as
good IA right to 5 II as anyone else.
Then Mr.. CUder ends by saying: 81
have no apologies to offer" Well,
none are needed. Judas Iscariot might
have apulogized from the day of the
c%rucitixion down to the present mo-
ment, vet his crime and its effects
would have remained the same.-River
Press.
Coder has Fl ured 0ut an explanation
of his conduct at Helena and publishes
the same in last weeks Lewistown
Democrat. He says he voted for
Clark the first time because he swapped
for votes on the bounty law (passed by
an almost unanimous vnte). his other
vote for Clark, on the last day of the
session, WAS cast 'to secure satisfaction
for the scurrilous and unreasonable
treatment accorded me 10y the arrogant
leaders Of my own party" Further he
alleges that his intention was after
voting for Clark to keep his wood good
Ia still prevent mn election by changing
his vote before the result had been an
nOunced. in the event of his II vote
causing m election. Coder was n OF
the fellows who wouldn't stay bought
and he can make no explanation that
will clear the mud from him.-Billingr
Gazette.

A grand and thrilling spectacle was
the great naval review, notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather.
The movement of the fleet from Fort-
ress Monroe into New York habor was
no less inspiring than the review itself,
and demonstrated the equality if not
the superiority of American ships and
seamen. 1t was unfortunate that the
New York, which will be the greatest
of American warships, could not be
completed in time to lead the Ameri-
can fleet, yet the Philadelphia is the
equal in nearly every respect of the
British Blake. Considering the few
years in which this country has become
interested in constructing n navy, the
showing made was one in which every
American should be proud. The dem
onstration will doubtless prove an OBJ
ject lesson to all the foreign nations
participating in the review. And the
fact that will impress them most is our
abundant resources, ingenuity, and the
rapidity with which ships can be placed
on the seas.

A Huge Canal.

The project to connect the Missis-
sippi river and the Great Lakes by a
canal between st. Paul and Duluth is
decidedly interesting. This is said to
be the object of the recent incorpo-
ration of a Minnesota company, with
a capital of $780, OO, 900. By means
of such a canal it is stated that boats
loading at Buffalo could carry their
cargoes unbroken through the Great
Lakes to the st. Paul docks at hall
the cost OF the present of trans
portation. 1t is reported that work
on the new enterprise will be begun
during the coming summer.

An article from the River Press in
relation to scab will be found elsewhere.
This is u matter that deeply concerns
our woolgrowers and they should not
he caught mapping. Scab is prevalent
over on the Yellowstone and great care
should be taken to avoid its presence
in Fergus and other northern counties.
There has been no scab in this county
for years and w~oolgrowers have had SO
little to contend with outside of hard
winters that the Judith Woolgrowers'
Association has lapsed into 'innocuous
desuetude." 1t is well enough to be on
the lockout, and the state veterinarian
and his deputies should use all diligence
TO keep scabby sheep out of this region.
The state veterinarian is charged with
neglect by some of the woolgrowers
ON the Yellowstone.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC SENATE.

We are now within thirty-two days
of the new Administration, when we
shall also have a new Senate, which
will be Democratic. We have SO Sem
ators, and already the DEM
ocrats have az Senators GER
tain, with four contests, still in
the throes of elimination. If the Re-
publicans should win all ube four sena-
tors in the states now trying to elect,
they would only have 43 senator's. This
would make the senate stand, 43 Demo-
Gratis, 43 Republicans, and two Popu-
lists; with Democratic vice president
ready and anxious to cast the deciding
vote, in case of tie.
But we shall do better than that. We
shall elect ode at least of the senators
from the states now bslloting, and
make q sure thing of a Democratic
Senate, without the aid of the ,Populist
senators, who claim now to be in full
sympathy with the Democrats on the
tariff and administrative reform.

BOOM FOR KANSAS.

An Old Cautonian' Who Struck Ksnsat

May-Iuteresting Farm Talk From
Practical Farmer, in the Wild anc
Woody West.
HAYS CITY, Kansas, Jan. 26, 1893.
ED DEMOCRAT
AS have been reader of the Dem.
| oCRAT for the last forty years, and ad
vocate its principles, l thought l ought
to intrude q little on the columns of
your valuable paper, for the purpose OF
convincing some of your young men
who want farm, to come west and get
yourself farm, and not be moving
! around from one farm to another every
year.
About fifteen years ago left beau
rifuI home on Cleveland avenue. Can
ton, Ohio, that cost me 5000, and had
to go away and leave it to the Building
Association of that place, So started
for Kansas | landed in Hays City,
and had only S22 left. Hays City was
on boom, and l got work right away
Of Mr.. Jacob MosiOur, contractor.
Soon l was made foreman Of a squad
of hands and worked for him three
years; so got on nicely. l have now
500 acres Of land, miles north OF Hays
City and one of the incest homes in
Ellis county. For the last three years
we had more peaches than we could
use, and lots Of apples, cherries, plums
aud grapes. We have 500 acres of
wheat in the ground this year, and this
spring we will put out about l25 acres,
barley, oats and corn.
So say as Horace Greeley used to
say: Young man get up and go west
and get yourself farm and have a
home.
Hays City is the county seat of Ellis
county, which forms part Of the IA
nous golden belt" and is generally
as one of the very best wheat
and barley producing counties in the
state.
Like all the counties of the central
and western portion of Kansas, 1t has
overcome the pernicious effect of pesti-
lence, such as chintz bugs, grass hop
pers and professional boomers" Aud
IL can be truthfully said that our peo-
pie have done as much as the people of
any other portion of the state to solve,
by way of intelligent experiments the
many difficult problems that confronted
the early settlers.
The beautiful mirage that charmed
the eye and excited the curiosity Of the
beholders, while the cause that pro-
duces it blasted the hopes of the farmers,
with the removal of the
cause, the reflection of the suns rays
the atmosphere and render
ing impossible the condensation of the
floating moisture necessary to produce
rain. But to return to our subject,
Hays City is situated on the line
of the Union Pacific railway, about
between Kansas City and
Denver. Big Creek, one of the finest
streams of beautiful, clear, permanent
water in the state, flows peacefully be-
tween Hays City and the historic
site of Fort Hays, now an abandoned
post. All the buildings erect
ed by the government of the United
States at Fort Hays remain and form,
so to speak, an important suburb of
Hays City. The buildings are nearly
all in as good repair as they were when
the fort was abandoned.
