opment throughout the entire state Of Col
orado. and dividing she Same into five
periods; First-Ths Discovery OF Gold Era.
Notwithstanding Era. Third Silver
Mining Era. Fourth-Immlgration and
Agricultural Era. Ffth-Building, CONNER
eial and Manufacturing Era. The latter
was made possible by the immigration and
agricultural era, the Importance Of which
ought TO be moro ffmly impressed upon
the people OF Montana. as without agricul-
ture va cannot have immigration, and
without the two latter we cannot
have the proper Development of
our mines or the commercial
and manufacturing era. With a proper
development OF our agriculture resources,
we can not only encourage mining. but
make a great many branches of manufao-
ture possible but highly profitable. The
article referred! to shows that during the
mining and stockraising eras. tho popula.
ton of Colorado increased but very little;
during the silver mining era it increased
very rapidly, II still more rapidly during
the building, commercial and manufaotur-
ing era. Now we can learn a lesson from
this practical experience of a sister state,
which shows a larger growth in We alth and
population in the six years OF %manutactur-
ing era than in the whole twenty-eight
years preceding? This era only became pos-
sible by the agricultural era.
At the close of 1892. the leading indus
tries of Colorado were "a follows: Precious
metals 800, 500, 900. stockerowina interssts
E15, 100000. agricultural and fruitgrowing
int ests $50. 900, 900, manufacturing prod
ucts 800, 900, 900. 1t will be observed that
the chief industry of Colorado is not as
generally supposed mining but manu-
featuring fl list, agriculture second, mining
third. With proper effort we can produce
similar results In Montana. causing the
products of agricultural and manufacturing
industries to be in excess of the mining.
In another article. at some future time, a
list of the manufacturing industries of
Denver and the number of people engaged
in the same, will be given. showing at
length the class Of manufactures and their
extent. which may serve as an incentive to
the Helena PEOPLE to encourage and pro-
mote manufacturing industries here.

OUTSIDE of, and beyond the work Of
u Worlds fair commission, the re-
sources OF Montana should be literally
advertised at Chicago. Kansas, as the
result Of forethought and preparation,
made great gains in population from a
thorough setting forth of her
at the Centennial exhibition Of 1876.
Her rapid development dated from that
time. Montana is as yet almost un-
known to the world: it is a greater and
better state than Kansas and should
have as many people in five years. We
should have some sort Of a state organ
ization to furnish literature in abun-
dance to the visitors at the fair. In fact,
we now have no literature at all on this
subject except the single pamphlet to be
issued by the commission, and no means
of distributing any. This matter should
be taken in hand without delay.

AS WAS anticipated by the more con-
servative observers, n reaction follows
the sentiment for Hawaiian annexation
and it is now doubtful if the movement
will go much farther. Tho islands
would become a burden on this govern
mont because there are no reasons for
believing that problems heretofore agi-
tating that country would be solved by
annexation. The native population is
far in excess of the foreign and race
troubles have been common since Ha-
wall was recognized among govern
ments. The advantages Of annexation
are no. SO apparent, though it would be
wisdom to prevent the requirement OF
the islands by a foreign government.
The sentiment in congress just now
seems to favor the formation Of a pro-
tectorate and it Is probable that the
matter will be disposed of in this way.

THE CALIFORNIAN FOR MARCH

The March Californian comes to tho
front with a most excellent array of good
things. A position Of prominence is given
to a finely illustrated article on Aleiers by
Fannie G. w. Barbour. who supplies much
new and entertaining matter in regard to
the Gate of the Orient, whose charms have
been sung for ages and are ever new.
An Important paper on a subject of inter
national interest is that on the Hawaiian
annexation, by George W.. Merrill, ex-
minister to Hawaii. Mr.. Merrill regards
the danger of interference in the affairs of
the island kingdom by any European ma
tion az very remote and does not believe
annexation is desirable merely to save the
islands from the greed of other powers.
The result of throwing open the tloodpstes
for an influx Of contract laborers is vigor.
ously shown and the arguments pro and
con are presented with the clearness and
Intelligence Of one thoroughly conversant
with his subject and alive to its Importance.
To the average American the history and
government administration of the District
of Columbia is about as unfamiliar gs it ia
to the foreigner. Mr.. Clifford Howard has
prepared q very able article, and one of
great interest on this comparatively I'M
known municipality.
The article of James RSalf, Jr., IN Some
Literary Folk" is replete with personal
anecdotes and Incidents in the lives Of
Lowell, Epes Surgent, Poe. Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe and Others.
Sevsral letters by Chief Justice Chase and
Thackeray, written to a young lady promi-
nent at the time in Washington society, are
now for the first time presented to the pub
lie. They are especially interesting as re-
vealing something of the inner life of men
with whose public ca GERS alone most of us
have been made familiar.
Mount 1amalpais and the charming re-
gion round about is the subject of an arti-
clio By Charles Ere lerick Holder. Tbs il
Illustrations from photographs, in connec-
ton with the frontispiece in monochrome
by Breuer, are Of unusual excellence.
Additional features of this number are an
important article ON the Late Election
by Richard II. Mcdonald. Jr.; d review of
the progress and possibilities of the state Of
Washington. by Hon. T. l. Vassault;
MASKS and Maskers," by ]. j. Peatfeld;

There are also short stories and poems
by Genevieve Lucille b owne. Csryl Kerr,
Archibald Lampman, Kate GEeenleat

March number is we'll worthy of perusal
and should DO a visitor in every household.

The Day In ConEregs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga fight which maj
next week prove to be . serious one was in
auGurated in the house to-day. 1t WAS over
the sundry civil appropriation bill. which
contains the Sherman bond amendment.
There are in all POT amendments to the bill.
Holman desired that all except the Sher-
man amendment, upon which there is to be
debate, be non-conou red in. Mr.. Bland,
AZ leader of the opposition to the sherman
amendment. objected, unless it was agreed
that the amendment should be, nfter de-
bate, also n~on-concurrsd in. This sug-
Qestion of Bland raised the sntagonism OF
Cochran. and no agreement WAS arrived at.
The silver men then Tesorted to hllbuster-
ing tactics. which were eftectual, and after
q speech by Bland the bill went over with
out action.
In the senate the legislative appropria-
ton bill was taken up and after being
amended. but in no important particular.
was passed. Dawes moved that the senate
insist on it's amendments, and ask confer
ence. The motion WAS agreed to and CON
ferees on the part of the senate appointed.

Tho New Senate to Convene at the Capitol
March 4.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The president has
Issued a proclamation converting an extra
session OF tho senate March 4. II 10 sup-
posed that his purpose Is to make sure OF
action on the Hawaiian treaty. The action
was probably taken At the instance or with
the consent of Prssident-E Elect Cleveland.
The proclamation is IA follows:
Whereas. Public interests require that
the senate should bs convened, at II O'Clock
on the 18th day of March next to receive
such communications "a may be made by
the executive; now. therefore, !, BENJAMIN
Harrison. president Of the United States,
do hereby proclaim and declare that an ex-
~traordinary occasion requires the senate OF
the United States to convene at tbs capital
in the city of Washington Oh the 4Sh day Of
March next, at ~ O'Clock, noon. OF which
all persons who shall at that time be enti-
tied to act as members OF that body, are
hereby required to take notice."
This 10 tho usual course pursued at the
outgoing of each administration TO enable
the senate to advise and consent to the
cabinet selections by the incoming presi-
dent. 1t is also customary. At the same
se ssion to send in the names of those Sc
lected for the most important foreign
posts and leading offices at home.

THE past grandmother OF pugilism,
John Lawrence Sullivan, is highly in.
dlgnant because OF the efforts of the
latter day iconoclasts to lower the dig
nifty Of his art. In a recent letter, he
observes:
II am not looking for trouble, but II
greatly disturbs me when l think that,
having worked eleven years to bring pugil-
ism to the present high standard, such apes
as these will thrust their greatness upon
the public"
Our s%ympathies are with the late
great whipper, though he is not the only
sufferer from the attacks of radioalists.
There is the man who invented the
party caucus.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-rhe Hawaiian
treaty is thouRhs to be dead for this ses-
sion. This ia reluctantly conceded even by
its friends. The action OF this senate In
refusing to 90 into executive session,
though the action doubtless had some ref
ersnoe to the Hanohett circuit judge nom
%ination, ia also accepted as a conclusive in
dication that the treaty would DO shelved
70, the rest of the session. The treaty mat
ter can, of course DO taken mp in the extra
session which will convene Immediately
after the present congress dies, but unless
marked change occnra there ID be.
during the life of the present administra-
1t is possible that knowledge of its disposi-
ton on the part Of the senate had some
reflex influence ON the action OF the house.

Foster Predicts a Deficit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-secrstarv of the
Treasury Foster WAS before tho ways and
means committee of the house this morn
ing explaining the condition OF the treasury.
He said there is no Ieason to fear a bank
rupt treasury, but admitted that the stu
ton demanded serious consideration. He
believed the available cash in the treasury
at the closs of the fiscal wear would be only
S17, COO, 600, instead Of 500, 900, 600, as be es-
mated in his report, because he had not
taken into consideration the payment of
the Choctaw claim of $4,000, 900. On the
present basis of revenue he estimated that
there would be q deficit in the treasury at
the end of the fiscal year 1894. He believed
$50, 600, 900 more revenue shoule be raised.
but did not say whether by taxation or by
the Issue of bonds. He also thought the
gold ,eserve should be raised to 1926, 900, 600.
