NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS."
Governor Mckinley Urged to Take His Stand
for 1896 on That Platform.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-Wharton
Barker has written an open letter to
Governor Mckinley asking him to
publicly state his attitude on the
money question, and at the same time
suggesting that the Republican cam
paign of 1896 should be made for
american protection and American
bimetallism against British free trade
and British monometalism." Mr..
Barker suggests a plan for the rees-
tablishment of silver in our coinage,
which he believes the only safe one for
the United States to adopt without
International agreement. 1t is first
that the United States shall admit
silver bullion from American mines to
coinage in its mints upon the payment
by the owner of a seigniorage absorb
ing three fourths of the difference be-
tween the market (London) price of
the bullion and it's value when coined.
Second, that silver shall be admitted
only for coinage purposes at seign-
forage absorbing all OF the difference
between the market London) price
and it's value when coined.
The Manufacturer. a journal pub
lished under the direction of the Man.

A large number of citizens of this

ure for me to do SO. Mrs. Signor,
your friends want me to say
that they appreciate your bravery,
and as a token of their respect have
bought this revolver and wish me to
present it to your, and they ask you
to accept it as such, as it represents

THEREBY HANGS A TALE
Concerning the Nerve of Woman Of Wyom-

LANDER, Wyo., Dec. 5.-Carlisle Lin
dell was sentenced by Judge knight
Saturday to three years i'm the Lar
annie penitentiary, and thereby hangs
a tale, with a woman as the heroine.
Mrs. Hattie Signor. a comely mot to say
interesting widow, lives at Lost Cabin
and is the owner of a ranch. Last
summer Charles Lindell stole one of
her work horses and made of with it,
but was captured by neighbors and
brought to Mrs. Signor's ranch and
left there while n deputy sheriff was
sent for.
The thief, seeing the coast wrs clear,
and thinking he could escape, made a
break for liberty. He had already
gotten his horse saddled when Mrs.
Signor compelled him at the mnzzle
of six shooter to unsaddle the horse
and remain until the arrival of the
officer. Charlie afterward said that
when he looked into the barrel and
down the line of the six-shooter he
saw by the determined face on the
other side that she meant shoot. The
plucky woman came to Lander dur

Is the West Disseminated.

There is some disc ontent within the
limits of Nebraska. With the unsuccess-
ful, even though they have done more
than fairly well, the sense of not being
as far along in the race as those whom
they started is irritating. The 10th
commandment is undoubtedly often
and badly shattered i'm Nebraska; but
fancy we are neither the only sinners
nor the chief of sinners in this re-
spect. Men here, as elsewhere, are in
haste to get rich; not simply to se-
cure competence. With many
others the present complaining is
hereditary, and comes to them with
their New England blood. Most we'll
organized, normal New Englanders
are always "on the road to the poor
house." The only difference between
New England and Nebraska seems
to be that, whereas in the former
people go cheerfully and willingly and
seem rather to enjoy the prospect
(they rarely get there, OF course
those who are always talking about
it never do), their descendants in Ne
braska, with the same prospect in
view and entertaining it just AS sim
cerely as do their ancestors (which is
not sincerely at aIl), grow rebellious
at the very thought. The discomfort
which does really exist, however, is
not an ,,,,,oh d;soonkaof v,;tb 1nabs
individual lot as with the existing
order of things. Unquestionably the
opportunities of lite are in some way
and often apparently by legislation
transferred to the few. In our haste
to build an empire in a night, we have
not always guarded carefully the in
terests of all the people. 1t would
sometimes seem as though our chill
dren could not possibly govern them
selves any worse than we have gov
erned ourselves, and that if they do
not vastly improve in all methods of
public administration they will suffer
more than we do.
Out of such bitter experiences, how
ever, and out of this kind of rational
discomfort, are evolved all human inn
provement and all advancement OF the
race. This kind of discomfort seems
to have naturally and properly be-
come powerful factor in American
public life. But as for ourselves and
our neighbors as individuals, and in
our own individual and private inter
ests and affairs, it is safe to say that
95 per cent of the people of this state
fall easily under any thoughtful def
milton of the expression "contented
classes. ."-Chancellor j. II. Garfield in

JUST LIKE REVOLUTION.
Kolb Sends Message to the Alabama Leg
islature.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. Ar. F..
Kolb, who claims to be governor of
Alabama, to-day completed mes
sage to the legislature which he signs
as governor and which will be trans
mitted to that body tomorrow. The
message is also addressed to the peo-
pie of Alabama and is a long and in
many respects revolutionary docu-
ment, as it recommends that his fol.
lowers do not pay their taxes for a
while. He further says: al further
advise those collectors who value the
cause i represent and will assuredly
prevail, to delay all payments of
taxes into the state treasury until
an impartial hearing has been had OF
our complaint under fair and honest
contest at law"
When it is remembered that the tax
collectors in thirty-eight out OF the
sixty-six counties in the state are
Kolbites, it will be seen if they take
his advice, the Kolb government will
find a strong sur port and Alabama
will be threatened with anarchy. In
his message Kolb says: The revolu-
tionary conditions of our stateg govern
ment must become the subject OF
your continued and most anxious
contemplation. The plans OF the
usurpers, so alarming to you, are
abating in nothing to reduce you to
an abject ana final submission to
their unbridled will and passions. ]
declare to you without fear OF con-
tradiction that if the present party
in control of your government be not
arrested in it's mad career, no elec-
tions can be held in Alabama under
the law and constitution
Kolb then urges the legislature to
enact contest laws and advises his
friends to organize clubs to assist in
the general object of his appeal.

Mrs. Hershfield's Return.

Mrs. Aaron Hershfield, with the
baby and the little ones nurse, re-
turned yesterday from Fargo, N. d.,
where she successfully fought the suit
of her husband for the annulment OF
their marriage. The party went at
once to the Helena, where they have
rooms. Mrs. Hershfield was tired out
with her journey and retired early.
She looked travel-worn and showed
evidence of the great strain to which
she has been subjected for the past
few weeks, but seemed triumphant over
her victory. The next step in the
matter will be the trial of the suit
now pending in the district court here
against l.. HI. Hershfield and wife, in
which Mrs. Aaron Hershfield asks SIS, :
900 for alternating the affections of
her husband. This trial will probably
attract fully as much interest as the
one just concluded at Fargo.-Inde-

1t is estimated that the apple crop
of Ravalli county reached 10000
boxes this year. Last year it was
only about 1000 boxes. At the
very low figure OF 81 per box this
would make $40, 900 produced by the
farmers of this valley on the one sim
gle industry this year. In two years
from now the apple crop will double
the above figures, as thousands of
young trees have been put out during
the last two and three years.
