An Illustration.

A grain robber in New Orleans
took a boat and rowed under some
grain cars standing on trestle in
the harbor. He bored a hole in the
bottom of the car and then the
wheat ran into his boat with such
develish persistency that it swamped
the craft and the thief was drowned:
Exchange.
That exactly illustrates the con-
dition of the money-power of the
world to-day. They have scuttled
the planet, and they will be drowned
under the weight of their own thiev-
cries. Determined to ruin the world
the ruined world will fall on them.

of that? Are silver miners any bet

Oh the colossal ASS! Did you ever

Did you ever hear of silver being

How Government Protects the
Robbers.

Tacoma, Wash, July 2l.-Agents
Thompson and Calder, of the Cana
dian Pacific, appeared in court to an
swer to the Indictment by the United
States grand jury for cutting rates
contrary to the interstate commerce
law. Both entered pleas of not
guilty, and their trial was set for
November.
A few years ago there was a great
hubbub in congress, running through
several years, started by one Mr..
Reagan of Texas, an earnest anti
monopolist, to establish a board of
officers, to control and regulate the
Interstate railroad corporations of
the United States, and prevent their
further despoiling the good people of
this nation. After desperate fight
the commission was established, and
the innocent voters looked to see
regular reign of terror among the
corporations, with the heads drop
ping in a shower. But the courts
got hold Of the act, and, by one de-
cision after another, they pervert-
ed and paralyZed and emasculated it,
after their fashion, until, as the
above extract shows, the commission
is now simply mahchine to enforce
combinations and prevent competition!
Instead Of being death to the pool"
as Reagan intended, it is now simply
a servile watchdog to bite any one
who approaches or interferes with
the 'pool."
And yet there are fools-God help
them!-who believe that this is "a
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people," instead
of being, as it is,-a government of
the corporations, by the corporations
and FOR the corporations-with the
people thrown in to do the work.

Another Fallacy Answered.

Let us consider that standing
argument Of the gold-bugs and their
tools. as given the other day, by the
Globe, to wit; that the silver min
ers are asking the government to
buy their silver for $1.29 an ounce
when it is worth, in the open mark
ct, but 70 cents an ounce. The sill
yer miners are asking for nothing
of the kind. They don't ask the
government to buy cents worth
of their silver. That unnatural de-
vice was forced on them by the gold
interests. It was ''a tub thrown to
the whale.'' All they ask is the re-
storation of the old conditions,
which existed in this country for
seventy-five years, until the Bank
IF England sent Ernest Seyd over
1ere, with $5OO,OOO, to corrupt con-
|Eress and secretly demonetize silver.
They demand the repeal of the act
Ipf 1873-passed when silver was at
p premium of three per cent. over
gold,-and the opening of the mints
once more to silver on the same
terms as gold.
Suppose it was in the power of
congress, by law, to reduce the price
of wheat one-half; and suppose the
farmers raised tremendous howl
and clamored for the repeal of that
crushing and unjust law; would it
be any answer, for the scoundrels
who had perpetrated the wrong, to
cry out:-''Why, look at the selfish
ness of these hay-seeders;-they &C
tually want 81 bushel for their
wheat when the market price is but
so centS!"
Are not the silver miners simply
asking to have Seyd's corrupt work
undone? And would not the repeal
of that law help to put up the price
|of wheat and land and everything
else used or produced by human in
dustry? And is there a producer so
big a fool that he cannot see that?
If there is will he send us his pic
ture? I. D.

Last week we had an item in type in re-
lation to the disappearance of one OF the
sheriff's posse which went in pursuit of the
row OF Park county. Being advised that
it was a hoax and that the horse found be-
longed to a sheepherder, the item did not
appear. 1t seems the facts were about as
we had them written. The Livingston En-
terprise OF last week contains the following
in relation to the missing man:
T.. G. Guiden. the missing member OF the
sheriff's posse in pursuit of the train rob-
bers, arrived in Livingston Wednesday
night. He states that when he left Conrow,
just outside of Oak, he tool the mountain
trail in the direction OF S~everance's ranch
and after travelling some distance he
picketed his horse and camped for the
night. In the morning he awoke and, find
ing his horse had disappeared, he cached
the saddle and bride, and after a short
search for the animal, started on foot for
this city. He Travelled the Martinsdale
stage road for some distance and becoming
familiar with the country as he ad
he took a short cut through the north end
of the Crazy range, reaching the ranch oil
Hugh ka~vanaugh at the mead of the
Shields valley. Here he secured the ser.
vices of Mr.. Kavanaugh to bring him to
Livingston, where he arrived as above
stated, apparently none the worse for his
adventure. He says that his failure to re-
port at S~everance's ranch was for the
reason that all Information in the posses.
sion OF the posse, and which they had
pledged to keep secret, Was known to al
most e. ry person in that section of the
country.

account Of Guidon's exploits. The Helena
Herald heads an article as follows: lis

this is the case he must have perished ere

is no more than just that those IN
gagged in the industry should be given
to shape their affairs to meet the
changed conditions. Any sudden and
radical legislation means not only the
ruin of a majority of those engaged in
the industry but a paralysis of business
in general throughout the state, as the
petition truly says: "The prosperity
Of a large portion of the population of
this state is entirely dependent on the
success of the w~oolgrowing industry"
While it is true that woolgrowers have
beed fairly prosperous in the past,
many of them started with but little
means and their receipts have been
used in paying borrowed money, buy
ing land, fencing. building sheds and
making other necessary improvements,
as the petition states. A stay of two
years in radical legislation would en-
able them to meet the situation with
out embarrassment or injury to the
state at large. We believe it is prob
able that such concessions can be Sc
cured from congress if nothing better.
The Great Falls board of trade also
offer a petition in keeping with that
adopted by the convention.

passed to the effect that s25 and $50

Governor Mckinley opened his cam
paign in Ohio on Tuesday of this week.
He happened to oe at East Liverpool,
the great chinaware manufacturing
town, a few nights since and was in
vited to address a crowd of 5000 men.
The dispatch says: "He was insensi-
bly, led by the enthusiasm of his aud.
fence into q prolonged address in which
he forcibly called attention to the fact
that the last time he was in the town,
two years ago, it was a prosperous
and happy place; now it is the home
of more than 1000 idle men who have
been thrown out of work because the
manufacturers of chinaware will not
make goods except on orders owing to
the certainty that the protective tariff
on that ware will be removed. The
men fairly hungered for the words of
the governor, and as he laid down the
facts to them they cheered and ap-
plauded almost like mad men" The
free trade liars will find it difficult to
bamboozle and hoodwink the working
men of Ohio this year. They gave
willing ears last fall to the brazen-faced
demagogues who appealed to their
passions and prejudices. They made
men believe hat steady work at good
wages was not sufficient, they must de.
mand hat employers go to their tills
and divide the profits of the business.
This year there are idle mills, no work
and no profits. 1t is an object lesson
that impresses the mos ignorant. II
strikes them at their pockets and just
under the belt. 1t is no wonder they
cheer the great protectionist. THERE'S
none of the demagogue in his makeup.
He told them what would happen with
the promise of free trade, and alas, il
is coming too true, and too quickly.
IL the voters of Ohio do their duty Neal
will go down the worst defeated man
who ever ran for governor in Ohio.

At a recent meeting of the Great
Falls board of trade TO get an ex-
preston On the question of calling ar
extra session of the legislature, Paris
Gibson, who is n stanch Democrat, took
strong grounds against it. He opposed
passing resolutions fsvoring an extra
session as he doubted whether a sena-
tor could be elected in the statutory
sixty days. He was Gas anxious for
favorable silver legislation as any man
within the hearing of his voice, but he
was afraid there was very little show
for the white metal at the hands of the
present congress in the light of the
recent decisive vote in the house.
He never wanted to see such a body OF
men called together again in Montana
to pass laws for a young state. The
legislature should be allowed to die a
natural DEATH" Mr.. Gibson is right.
That legislature "smells to heaven"
1t should be buried out of sight.
