One more day should be added to our
holidays. At least if not that, one more
day should be particularly commence

school were asked what the 18th of June
was memorable for, the chances are a
hundred to one that neither could an

that so few know and remember that on
the 14th of June, 1887, the stars and
btripes were formally adopted by con-

the year round.
The New York Society Of the Sons Of
the American Revolution suggested last
year a popular commemoration of the
day throughout the Union. 1t could be
made an occasion of rare interest in the
public schools. Papers should be read
giving the history of the flag, and pa
triotic music, addresses and tableaux

The field for artistic decoration, poetry

Anniversary of a Sea Fight.

Thirty years ago June 10, 1854, occurred
one Of the greatest sea fights of the nine
tenth century. 1t was the battle be-
tween the American wooden ship of war
Kearsarge and the Confederate cruiser
Alabama. The Alabama started on her
career July 90, 1862. Every effort was
made to catch her, yet for two years she
dehed the whole American navy. She
lid much toward destroying that su-
premacy Of the American merchant ma
rine which it has never regained. The
Kearsarge, Captain John S. Winslow,
had been on the Alabama's tracks for
months. He oyerhauled her in the
French harbor of Cherbourg, where Cap
tain Semmes of the Alabama had put
in for repairs. When these were COM
pleted, Semmes was quite willing to try
Issues with the Kearsarge. He believed
his luck and pluck would win the fight
for him. He therefore put out to sea
beyond French jurisdiction.
But his luck deserted him, although
his pluck did not. The waters all about
the two vessels were dotted with steamers
and other craft, both French and Eng
lish, out to see the fight at a safe dis
lance from stray balls from either YES
sci, The Alabama fred the first shot.
But when the Kearsarge opened in turn
and poured volley after volley into the
Alabama the fight was quickly over.
The Kearsarge had the best marksmen
and the best guns. In a few minutes the
Alabama began to settle to the bottom,
and Captain Semmes struck his colors.
There was barely time to take her crew
of before she sank into deep water and
tho terror of American merchantmen
for two wears was seen no more forever.
The French and English vessels that
were spectators of the fight helped to
take the Alabama's men off. Without
this some must have inevitably drowned,
80 quickly did the crippled Confederate
cruiser sink. The Kearsarge was bad. y
injured, too, but was repaired and con
tinued nearly 30 years afterward to be a
useful vessel in the United States navy.
And after all this record Of glory, Feb.
2. 1894, she struck Roncador reef on the
Caribbean coast, and her brave old ZONES
were soon washed away by the sea. One

THE ORDER TO Il.
Sovereign Call to the Knights of Labor
to Quit Work.

Sovereign. Call to the knights of Labor
to Quit Work.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Knights Of
Labor throughout the country, number
ing nearly 100000 men, have been
called upon to strike for the cause Of
organized labor. Grand Master Work
man Sovereign issued the order last
night to all members of the organization
to cease work until the conflict original
ing in the strike Of the Pullman en-
ployes shall haye been settled. Follow
ing is a text Of the order:
10 the Knights Of Labor OF America,
Greeting: A crisis has been reached in
the affairs of the nation that e~ndangers
the peace Of the republic. Every fibre Of
our civil structure is strained to the
breaki, g point. The shadows of fractional
hatred hover over our fair land with ter
rible f~orebodings. The arrogant lash of
superiority is being applied by corpora
tions with relentless fury and the chasm
between the masses and classes is grow
ing deeper and wider with each succeed
ing day. II peace is restored and this
nation saved there must be wise action
and that quickly.
Sincerely believing the flames Of dis
cord are being purposely famed by rail.
way corporations at the risk Of life and
government, ! take the liberty to appeal
to you and through you to the conscience
OF the whole people, imploring you to
lay down the implements Of toll for a
short season and under the banner of
peace and with patriotic desire to pro-
mote public welfare use the power of
your aggregated numbers through peace
able a%ssemblages until We create a
healthful public sentiment in favor of an
amicable settlement Of the issues grow
ing out Of the recent strike of the Pull
nan employees; and you are further re-
quested not to return to your usual avo-
cations until the settlement of the pend
ing trouble is made known to you
through some authentic source.
The Pullman company refuse to arbi
trate the differences between itself and
its employees. The Pullman company
goes further in its autocratic policy. 1t
has refused to join with the business
men and the board OF aldermen to dis
cuss tho question, and behind this
autocratic policy stand the managers as
sociation Of railway corporations, backed
by the United States army as aiders and
abettors Of this social crime. II the
present strike is lost to labor it will re-
tard the progress of civilization and re-
duce the possibility of labor to
emancipate itself from the thraldom Of
greed. Stand firm in our common
cause and the victory will be one of
peace and prosperity for the faithful.

Grand Master Workman.

OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.

The Price of Montana Range Cattle viii
BE Better This Year Tha Last.
Chicago advices are to the effect that
the price Of Montana range cattle will
be better this year than last, says the
Fort Benton Press. OF late years 30
many Texas cattle have been marketed
or driven north, as to result in a
shortage Of Texans this year. Last
year the big run OF Texas cattle into the
Chicago yards Was instrumental in hold
ing down the price Of northwesterns,
but this year that element will not fig
ure 81 largely against Montana cattle.
OF corn fed cattle, too, there will not be
nearly the number for market this year
that there we're put on last year, for the
reason that farm-raised cattle were sold
out close last year, and not nearly the
number OF feeders purchased as In
former years. 1t is estimated that not
more than GO per cent as many fed cattle
will be on market in 1894 as in former
years.
As against these conditions which
should raise the price OF Montana cattle
In Chicago, are the adverse conditions
OF a distressed financial state-hard
times, and the diminished demand
caused by the inability Of idle men to
purchase beef for themselves ard fami.
lies. These conditions will to a certain
extent prevent the price of cattle rising
to whore 1t otherwise would, but a full
comparison Of existing circumstances
indicates a satisfactory price, this sum-
mer, for Montana cattle In the Chicago
market,

as yet been done by dry weather, hay
has ceased growing in some portions Of
the northeastern counties and all farm
ers are beginning to irrigate or are MAX
ing preparations toward that end.
Considerable hail occurred on the Sd
inst. at Ubet, Fergus county, which
caused some damage to gardens.
In northeastern Montana ranchmen
have about finished their sheep shearing
and are now busy hsying. The wool
clip has been unusually large. Crops in
other northern counties are doing we'll

WATER THE TREES.
Paris Gibson Makes a Few Timely
Suggestions Which Should Be
Carried Out.
Now Is the Time to Use Water Freely
II iOu Want Your Trees
to Grow,

To The EDITOR OF The TRIBUNE:
GREAT FALL, July 9.-Until the plans
OF our city for conducting water along
public streets and avenues are fully com.
pleted, IL becomes the duty Of our citi.
zens to water the trees In the vicinity of
their residence. 1t should be q pleasure
Tor every one owning or occupying q res
idence here, to care for q certain num-
Der Of trees. II.
In no other way al he at 30 little
cost add to the beauty and attractiveness
OF this town. 1t would seem to he a
simple thing to water q tree properly,
and yet many people do not know how
to do 1t. Trees nj be waterered any
time during the day, but it is much
more effective to water them in the
evening. A large quantity Of water
should always be used, and the earth
should be loosened with a spade for some
distance around the trees az this will
cause water to sink deeper into the
earth ana the roots will consequently
gain greater depth. Shallow watering
attracts the roots to the surface and 10
this country the tree soon dies. I notice
the trees planted by our city in front
OF many pleasant homes have been neg.
lected and allowed to die, which, I think,
is almost a crime. Do not allow trees
to show signs Of suffering before giving
water. Water them copiously early IN
the spring; water them thoroughly at
least once q week during the summer
and fall, and water them generously late
in the fall. Ten years ago the TOWNSHIP
OF Great Falls did not have q tree or
shrub growing upon it except a few
cottonwoods and willows along the
waters edge; it now has many thousands
OF cottonwoods, boxelders, ash and elms
growing in its parks and upon its ave.
nues. II our people will take a lively in
terest in tree culture and the main
t%ainance of lawns, in q few years Great
Falls will become the most beautiful
city in the northwest. Every tree plant.
ed and maintained in our city adds
something to real estate.
Thousands Of people have made their
homes in Minneapolis and Denver be.
cause OF the beautiful parks, avenues
and boulevards in and around those
cities. In this semi.arid country tree
and shrubbery will add i~ncalculable to the
beauty and healthfulness of our towns,
and will pay ue richly for all the at
tention we may give them.
