change since the 9Th. The publication here
on that day otthe substance OF the reply. pre-
viously reported, OF Minister Willis to Presi-
dent Dole's request for some explanation o.,
Secretary Greshsm's letter. has given rise
to much speculation a. to what his answer
implied.
The Minister'S obvious avoidance OF any sx-
preston tending toward a disavowal OF the
extremely hostile intentions commonly at
tributed to him gives to the Government an
unfavoraLls impression and enhances the
hopes OF the royalsts. This impression is
confirmed by the statement OF the reply that
the President will make known his purposes
as soon as he Is Informed OF matters recently
submitted TO him.
This language seems to he that % ons
clothed with authority over this Goysrnment

and forcible manner such IS the Impression

THE genius who invented the "Fif-
teen puzzle, pigs in Glover and many
others has invented a brand new one,
which is going to be the greatest on
record. There is fun, instruction and
entertainment in it. The old and learn
ed will find as much mystery in it as the
young and unsophisticated. This great
puzzle is the property of the New York
Press Club, for whom it was invented by
Samuel Lloyd, the great puzzlist, to be
sold for the benefit of the movement TO
erect a great home for newspaper work
ers in New York. Generous friends
have given $4,000 in prizes for the sue
cessful puzzle ~solvers. Ten cents sent
to "Press Club Club Building and Char
ity Fund" Temple Court, Now York
City, will get you the new mystery by
return mail.

My method of raising tomatoes for
family use I have found quite successful.
The first requisite is good, strong, potted
plants, so far advanced as to be ready to
blossom. Last year some of them at
planting time had fruit set. I have the
ground prepared beforehand, making the
hills about four feet apart and working
up the soil to the depth of eight inches
where the plants are to go. l find good
soil works as well for tomatoes as for
other crops. After the middle of May or
as soon as warm weather has fairly come
the plants are transferred from the pots,
the earth and roots adhering in such a
way that t%ransplanting does not in the
least check their growth.
AS Don as the young plants attain suf-
ficient size to need it, strong stakes about
5 feet in length are driven in the ground,
to which they are tied. This was sug-
gested to me several years ago, and l
find it very satisfactory. 1t keeps them
off the ground, thus preventing rotting,
and gives free scope to sunshine and air.
If the growth of the plants is too strong,
the ends are clipped off from time to
time, as well as su%perhuous branches. 1
never plant two rows together, prefer
ring TO give them the full benefit of the
sunshine on all sides. The tomato is en-
phatically a warm weather plant and
will not flourish in the shade. Thorough
cultivation and frequent stirring Of the
soil, especially in dry weather, is impor-
tant.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

If ever genuine grief was mingled with
true fidelity to a departed friend, the
combination was exhibited by Charles
Mitchell when he heard of the death of
Squire Abingdon. The pugilist shed CO.
pious tears, blubbered aloud and said
between his sobs, He was good to me,
and I'll show what l thought of him by
punching hades out of Jim Corbett in
six rounds" Who can fail to be i'm,
pressed by this display of dauntless spirit
in the midst Of solemnity of a crushing
bereavement? As for Corbett, if he is
not willing to be punched in such a
sacred cause, he is simply a hard hearted
monster. - Rochester Democrat and

OUR THOMAS RETAINED.

1t is a tribute of no mean significance
which has been paid to Thomas Fl. Car
ter by his retention in the craftsmanship
of the republican national committee in
the face of the landslide that struck the
party while he was in command last fall.
There was a general belief that Mr..
Carter was the personal choice of Presi-
dent Harrison, and that he was made
chairman in the last campaign to crafty
the wishes Of the then president. At
Louisville on Wednesday his reelection
to this important Office amounts to a
decided victory at least for him person
ally, and Montana likes to SEQ her citi-
zens come to the front in this fashion.
The wiseacres of the republican party
must concede that Mr.. Carter possesses
a large share of political acumen or they
would not have submitted to his being
made their permanent chairman.
The next trial of Mr.. Carriers metal
will be at the congressional elections of
ltNt ltdl. y has dllIlt III ~ pIC'
pare his campaign and we shall have a
favorable opportunity to judge of his
ability as a commander in-chief at that
time. The of year work should develop
his Napoleonic talents SO that he may
predict victory for his party in 9G with
even greater confidence, if that were pos
sible, than he did in 'g2.
What we are chiefly concerned about
in this section is that Mr.. Carriers cleo
ton is a recognition of western ability.
Mr.. Carter has been in this state Il good
many years, and while his record on the
silver question while in congress was not
exactly what could be desired he stands
well with the republican party of this
state and is regarded by almost every
body as an adroit politician. His career
the next few years will be watched
with interest by the people of Montana.

NI;. COLLINS IN wASIIiSGTON.

\ Washington reporter captured Hon.
II. f. Collins during his stay in the cap
ital. and credits the following remarks
to him.
If any citizen of Washington would
like to see a fine specimen of a growing,
hustling, wide-awake. western town, let
him come Out and take a look at Great
Fall. We are six years old, and have a
population of 10000, two daily newspa-
pers, seventeen miles of electric street
railway, streets lighted by electricity,
water works, and all other appliances of
modern civilization. We have not only
the mining industry, but stock raising
and agriculture, all of which is carried
on profitably in Montana. AS to politics,
I am satisfied the state will henceforth
be found in the democratic column. |
was beaten for governor by a scratch
last year. due to a good many OF the vo.
tiers in Butte and Anaconda going off
with the third party people. The fight
oyer the senatorshlp was nothing more
than a personal quarrel, and will have
no adverse effects on the democratic
party, which will hereafter be found
acting tremendously. The sentiment OF
the people is for free silver coinage, but
| am satisfied that the only feasible
plan is an international agreement. The
Sherman law ought to be repealed, as it
degrades silver and is a losing game for
everybody. 1t would be far better to
have the old Bland bill re-enacted than
to keep on under the present system"
