WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE center Of

afternoon for time and the result was
that senate proceedings wsro Interesting

livened mp the proceedings was Hill, who

tariff confcrrees to report the difficulties
and cause Of failure to agree. It Was al
most adopted before the senator's fully
realised its importance. Tbs conferrees

the resolution was ruled out Of order and

WASHINGTON. Aug. ia crisis In the
tase6 a6aifs was rsached yesterday, both
In the open senate and in the secret coun.
oils Of the Democratic tariff eonferrcea
When the conference closed last night it
vas the understanding that the meet
ings would be suspended for the present.
No time was set for reassembling the con.
forces today or hereafter. and it was felt
that no further sessions might be neces-
sary IN case the senate acted favorably
ON Hills resolution directing the senate
sonferfees TO report the situation Of AZ
fairs. What was OF more importance was
the feeling expressed by the house confer
rees ut the close Of the conference that in
case the Hill resolution passed-and they
believed it would-the conference would
practically be relieved of its work and it
would remain only for the house to &C.
cept the senate bill rs the lesser evil, a.
they believe. than the Mckinley bill.
Coulsin't Pass In the senate.
These conclusions were reached after q
day Of intense excitement among the tariff
leaders. The day opened with the senate
proposition for free sugar still pending be-
fore the conference. Wilson and his house
associates were satisfied that the tender Of
free sugar was not made in good faith,
and they had therefore requested the sem
ate conferrces to furnish poll Of the sen.
ate showing that IL the proposition were
accepted IL would be adopted by the senate
and the bill passed. The poll was consid-
cred as soon rs the conferrees convened.
IL disclosed that in the event Of the ac-
ceptance OF the free sugar amendment the
bill as a whole would be voted against by
thirty-eieht Republicans and by Kyle,
Allen. PETER (Populists) Gallery and
blanchard (Democrats), total OF forty.
three votes, or sufficient TO defeat the bill.
A ''Quintiiaserai' Alliance.
This poll was made on the best iudg-
ment OF the senate conferrees The house
accepted IL as showing conclusively that
the tender Of the free sugar amendment,
while made in good faith by the senate
conferrees, was means adopted by the
conservatives for the purpose Of defeating
tariff legislation and leaving the Mckinley
Law in force. The discussion brought out
for the fest time the statement that the
defensive alliance between certain sen-
ators had proceeded further than mutual
cooperation and was now reduced to a
signed agreement. While members Of the

New Curios.

Inter Mountain: For want of
something better to say the associat-
ed press that the annual
convention of the National Negro
Democratic league will be held at
indianapolis during July. This is
a good one, The gathering may
take place but it's dimensions will
not be of that character as to neces-
state enlarged hotel Accommodations
and special railroad trains. Were
old P. T. Barnum still alive he would
attempt to capture what there will
be of the convention and exhibit it
as a curio, and if the attempt were
made it would probably be cce
full, for a negro who claims to be a
democrat is out for revenue and is
not particular how he gets it.

THE COXEY MOVEMENT.

The truth is at least partially evil
dent that many, if not most, of the
thousands of Coxeyites scattered
throughout the United States are
men who, in prosperous times, didn't
want a job, wouldn't have it, and
who gave the mar the boot who tried
to hire them. In order to create a
wave of sympathy, at "A time of great
est business unrest, they now extend
their hands in solemn supplication,
and say, ave now offer to work but
you will not give us anything to do"
Peter Breen, in his Monday night
speech, sized up the exodus, in about
the right light, and gives stress to
the fact that Coxeyites are them
selves in darkness as to what they
are going to do when they reach
Washington. Hugh O'Donnell of
Homestead fame sits down on the
march as wild and aimless, product
i've rather of evil than of good. He
serlously srraigns the motives of the
leaders. The movement is not rep
ubllcan, not democratic, nor yet pop
u%listic; but vain, unwise and ultim-
ately disastrous. 1t is the tramps
union, the grand order of American
travellers, the hood-tide of m%isrule.
over the danerous shoals of anarchy
and the wrecks of former republics.
1t appears that the end is not yet.

Keep the Kids at Home.

Anaconda Review: The accident
last week to a young boy, by being
run over by a bicycle, brings forci-
bly, before the public not so much
the carelessness of bicycle riders,
but to the criminal carelessness of a
great many parents in the CITY of
bringing up their children on the
streets. Children are permitted to
play out in the middle of the, when
they are too young to realize the
danger. 1t is a remarkable thing
that there have not been more acct.
dents in the city from children being
run over by teams running away, or
by parties out driving. We have
repeatedly seen children, two. or
three years of age, standing out in
the middle of Park avenue lust as
long as it is possible for them to do
SO, and then step aside to allow the
driver to pass. We have seen this
done repeatedly, and if parents will
allow their children to roam in the
streets, at will, they will have to
submit, once in a while, to paying a
a doctors bill if nothing more seri-
Gus.

The recent valuable discovery
made by Fl. b. Mackey, on Carpen-
ter creek, is one that is full of good
horse sense for every prospector. 1t
suggests at first thought that there
may be other ore dumps and waste
dumps about camp whose value is
unknown to the claimants but which
may run we'll up in value. Many
complaints of dissatisfaction are
heard regarding the returns ofdiffer-
ent particular assayers and while we
can not without proof impugn the
character Of any one for honesty, we
would certainly recommend the pro-
spector who has ore and knows he
has ore, by all means to assay fre-
quently, and to send samples for
analysis, to two or more houses, I'M
less he knows the assayer and has
implicit confidence in his character
for honesty and integrity.

No EOOthOld,

party would repudiate all the planks
in its platform except those for sill
yer and tariff reform, it would cut
something of a figure. Bnt a party
that proposes to issue greenbacks in
unlimited amount a get no perm
anent foothold in Montana. Such a
party would be the worst possible
enemy to our silver interests. 1t
pretends now to favor silver, hut it
would find mining it too slow. In
the end it would throw silver over
and print greenbacks as a much.eas-
Ter and swifter method of creating
money.

OF Shrinking WATER.

EDITOR DHLARD, of New Idea
fame, in his weekly roundup of locals
actually corrals a great many new
ideas, succeeds in keeping the pub
lie in a wild state of CONSERVATION
and perpetual guessing as to what
incongruous, laughable combina
ton he will next invent. He DOS
sesses a great many eccentricities.
Among them he persists in arguing
in favor of ethics Helena or Anacon-
da for the capital, and strenuously
opposes residents of the state
voting in favor of any town east of
the Mississippi river to receive that
honor. He urges Montanans by all
means to choose a western town for
capital, and if possible, let it be in
side the state. It's all right to send
east for such things as kerosene,
hired girls, and rubber goods, but
everything like baled hay, potatoes
and capitals ought if possible to be
home grown. He stops long enough
in his grandiloquentlv voluminous
verbosity to shout the following:
+. X. Abbott and Tom Westgard are
making the NEIHART HERALD as spicy
as a luscious Tom and Jerry. We note
the energy Of yccs with pride.
We were just going to say,
"Amen, brother" when the subject
ran into something like this:
f. X. Abbott, editor of the HERALD,
has a political bee for office buzzing
around in his think-cylindcr.
This was the most unkindest cut
of all, and our formal reply is re-
served until it appears what grudge
the Sage of Sinking Water has
against our house. But briefly told
the esteemed brother is a false pro-
phet and has not reckoned with the
omens. We want nothing in the
line of public office, but are proud
to hold the privilege of seeing how
the unfortunates in office are doing
their business.

PROTECT EVERY INDUSTRY.

In a vivid graphic sermon to con-
gress Editor billiard of the New
Idea unburdens himself of the fol-
lowing:
Try to do the fair thing with your
selves, your constituents, and above all
tor the zenith nation of the globe. Don't
strut around with pompous, Fourth of
July air of a patriot and act like British
free traders and then howl your breech-
ing and cruppers off because the rice of
South Carolina and the sugar of Lousi-
n Is not protected. Now, because YOU
are interested in Pennsylvania pig IRON
don't try to throttle the great silver in
dustry of Montana. Drop this accursed
and ~dlabolical sectional and selfish feel
ing and unite in protecting every Ameri-
can industry from the freckled and sun
burnt shores of the Atlantic to the frag-
rant roses and dimpled beaches of the
beautiful Pacific slope. Brace up and
be men and solve the bread and meat
problem and drive the wolf of starva-
ton from the ~workingman's hut.
billiard is a sometimes democrat.
sometimes republican, who is trying
desperately to reconcile democratic
doctrine to the patriotic principle of
las he says '%protection to every
American industry from the freckled
and sunburnt shores of the Atlantic
to the fragrant roses and dimpled
peach of the Pacific slope" No
man can serve two masters.

Justifiab1e Homicide.

New Idea: We have all laughed
at the story of the Coloradoan who
was on trial for killing a stranger
who had stopped at his house over
night. The defendant admitted the
killing, but said in his own defense:
"This man came into my house, he
kissed my wife a dozen times, he
Rugged my oldest daughter and
slapped my little boy, kicked my
dog and called me a double-breasted
liar, and forgave him all this, for
he was my guest; but when he asked
me what do you think of Grover
Cleveland?' ! killed him." The
tale runs that the jury acquitted him
without leaving the box, on he
ground of justifable homicide.

TIE republicans of Indiana hay

The republicans of Indiana have
incorporated the Senator Lodge res
o~lution relative to silver in their state
platform. 1t is simply elevating the
standard of reciprocity over silver.
If there were not such a majority of
partisan fools in congress it is almost
certain that reciprocity would furnish
the club necessary to whip foreign
countries into the use of silver. Rec
iprocity is the stuff we can't get
anything better.

lT is frequently said by stump
orators and dry goods box politicians
that the democratic party never
keeps a pledge or redeems a promise.
We believe in giving the devil his
due. The democratic party promised
the people a change in 1892, and it
has surely been made. But the
aforesaid party is very much in the
predicament of the man who wanted
some n to help him let 90 of the
bear; it has more of IA change than it
knows what to do with.

The River Press has discovered
that the catch of fish from Montana
rivers is growing less and less every
year. With all due respect to the
mental acumen of editor McLaugh-
lin, we opine that the discovery only
proves the growing respect among
the angling fraternity for the promp-
tings of truth and honesty. This is
increasing at the present time with
alarming rapidity.
