WASHIhG COLLEGE.

We a boast of haying had as much
snow, ice and cold weather, for the
past month as any community of the
same altitude in this latitude, snow
20 inches deep, mercury 23o below
zero. Creeks frozen over, mill wheels
frozen in and truly the grinding has
been low" yet bread has been plenty,
though some of us have been Obliged
to grable and haul wood out of the
snow to bake it with. This far no one
has frozen, or died of hunger, some
few cases of sickness. Mrs. Holtsing-
er, of the culinary division of the
Manual Labor Department, has been
quite sick, and has gone to her home.
Her boarders are being cared for by
DR.. Willoughly, who is ever ready for
any emergency. The issuing and pre-
pairing of twenty extra rations is some
trouble in time of a snow tide like
this; yet the work goes b~ravely on and
no one complains.
By order of the school directors the
public schools are suspended till furth-
er orders, or better weather, though the
Chapel Bell rings regularly at the ap-
pointed periods, and the usual number

be held at that old and time honored
place of worship. Let us hope that
much good will be done.
Dr.. Willoughby, assisted by the COM
mittee of the Manual Labor Depart
ment will soon begin the erection of a
dormitory 7Ox36 feet, and three stories
high, to be used by the students belong

time and money coupled with the efforts
that are being made to build up this
branch of the school at this place, and
the most sanguine hopes of those en-
gagged in the work will be realized.

Lying Analyzed.

A lie is not necessarily an untruth
at all. 1t may be merely an over
statement of truth, or putting an en-
phasis in the wrong place, A bent
mirror is as really a mirror as if it
were a plane surface, yet it lies to
every man who walks befor it, making
him think himself a son of Anak. You
may construct a falsehood out of any
truth whatsoever by twisting it a
trifie out of shape.-The Christian

In the death of Ex-P President HAYES
the country has lost a mar whose great
and unostentatious life had, in a great
degree, hidden him from the general
public. He was, during late years,
closely associated with many institu-
tions and societies having for their OBJ
Ject the betterment of the condition of
the unfortunate, and his labors in the
cause of humanity were of such char.
acter as to elevate him in the esteem of
his associates and intimate friends.
His death has given a safe and longed
for chance for a few, poor, narrow
minded, ignorant and malicious peo-
pie to sur his character as a man be-
cause he accepted the result of the gen
eral election of 1876, by which the peo-
pie declared him their choice for Pres
ident. The Knoxville Tribune of last
Thursday in speaking of Mr.. Hayes,
said: Although he served four a
as President he was not elected to it by
the people, and was only enabled to
occupy it through an outrageous fraud
practiced by the Republican leaders,
and of which it must be said of Mr..
Hayes that he was the willing benef-
ciary." Such talk is too silly to even
be called folly. The Republican party
perpetrated no fraud in the matter of
Mr.. Hayes election nor in the decision
of the Electoral Commission. No man
on top of Gods green earth, that has
sense enough to know the truth when
he meets it, but knows that nothing
but fraud prevented at least five South
ern States from showing a majority for
the Republican ticket in 1875; and no
man so ignorant that he does not know
that the most desperate efforts against
fraud prevented Florida and Louisiana
from being stolen along with the rest.
Under no circumstances should the
politicians of the Democratic party
charge fraud upon any other political
party.

DENvER's CONDITION.
A Deplorable State of Affairs Exists Among
the Laboring Glasses.

DENVER, July 20.-The closing down
OF many silver mines, smelters and
the reduction of the working forces OF
coal mines, railways and manufac-
tories in this state because of the re-
duction in the price of silver, has
caused a deplorable condition of af-
fairs among the laboring classes. 1t
is estimated that today there are in
Denver 10, 900 men unable to secure
employment. There are 10000 in
other towns in the same condition,
one-half of which are making their
way to this city where they will be to
the public a charge, if conditions do
not speedily change. In order to
avoid this, all commercial bodies in
this city will meet with representa-
tives OF eastern roads at O'Clock
this afternoon and the latter will be
asked to make So rate from here to
the Missouri river for this class OF
people. 1t is argued that these men
are not paupers, but il they can get
into the agricultural districts they
will be able to secure employment in
the harvest fields where men will soon
be in demand.
The Typographical union, at a meet
ing last night, appropriated 81, 900
for the purpose of sending unemployed
men to their homes in the east. The
railways have been asked to make a
! S15 rate for these men to any point
between here and Chicago. A con-
servative estimate of the men dis.
charged by railroads, business houses
| mills and factories since the silver
panic started places the number al
from 10000 to $4,000. 1t is also
estimated that Colorado, Utah, Mon
tana and New Mexico merchants coun
termanded orders on New York whole
sale houses for goods during this tim,
amounting to over S12, 100000.

MONTANA BEEF.
Prospects Excellent for Good Prices Later in
the Season.

The first shipments of beef cattle
from Montana for Chlcas- i'll -
made this week from the eastern part
OF the state, but the heavy and steady
shipment will not begin for month
yet and will last till well along in the
fall. Last year the first shipments
were made the latter part OF June.
Cartle came out of the winter this
year very poor, and they are now only
beginning to put on flesh. Chicago
commission men advise the Montana
growers to hold their cattle until they
are in prime condition, saying the
prospect is excellent for good prices
later in the season. Some Dakota
growers, forced to sell, nave already
shipped to Chicago, but their cattle
were in such condition that they
brought only $3.50 and SO ahundred.
Unless there are worse times east than
there are at present, and money gets
tighter, it is expected that Montana
cattle will average the growers in Chi
cago this year $3.50 a hundred. OF
course the best beef will go from 81 to
80 higher, but it is the expectation
that the general average Will be as
stated. This is about 81 more than
cattle averaged last year.-Helena
