A leading Maine farmer says that there
has probably not been season since the
year when corn was so uneven as at the
present time. It can be found all the way
from maturity, or fit for table use, down
to the spindle just showing itself. That
little word if has much to do with the future
crop. If the frost holds off as it did last
fall, the most of it will come out all right,
but if it comes to kill as early as the 9Th Of
September, as it did few years ago, then
up goes the corn crop, or much Of it at any
rate. What we propose to oabout it is
still to trust the weather maker as hereto
fore, then hope for the best and watch and
wait" - s

THEIR FAITH BROKEN.

-Four months ago the good people
of Townsend gave it out, in good
faith, that the Broad water county
movement was dead. That it had
by common consent been dropped
for a term of two or more wears.
That financial depression had
prompted such action and that the
electors of the county could have
their word of honor for the statement.
1t turns out, as the election is over,
that the movement for segregation is
well and hearty, and that the word
of honor OF the so-called leaders of
politics in Townsend is unworthy the
consideration of honorable men. The
Broadwater scheme is doomed tc
failure this year, and it will behoove
the voters of this county to remem-
Der the fall of 81, and the broken
faith of the people of Townsend
and look out for a considerable al.
lowance of taffy from that quarter in
each succeeding campaign. AS they
have our pity we are driven to ex-
claim: Voters, ''forgive them, for
they know not what they do"
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1894-12-29
THE CASE

Editors who so severely censure
the practice of commenting upon
the senatorial situation are divided
into two classes:
1. Those who are tied up by
mortgages, liens and like incum-
brances so that they dare not ex-
press an opinion. We can give ex-
amples if required.
2. Those who have no knowledge
of the history of Montana, or of the
character of the aspirants to that
office. Examples can be furnished
if required.
OF this first class there are the
larger number. 1t is a pitiable
plight to be so placed that we dare
not express a God-given opinion.
A newspaper SO placed is a useless
thing; "a %non-entity in space; a re-
Hector and not a light; a moon and
not a sun. 1t fills up its columns
with slush and tlattery, moralizing
and philosophizing in general, but
it cannot conduct a fight of its own.
Pity is its due.
OF the second class their ignor-
ance of public matters gives the pub
lie great pain. Their so.called edi-
torials are characterless, most OF
them snakes or else copied from
"snakes." The editor as a rule has
not the courage to call a pick a pick,
for fear he will harm the feelings OF
a few of the great men of Montana,
whom he looks up to, as a serf does
to the czar.
We hold the position hat ignor-
ance of public men and things in
Montana is inexcusable. That the
paper whose editor is ignorant OF
the men who would be senators
should read up at once. And more
over, if the editor has an opinion and
will not express it, he fails to fulfil
that lofty purpose whereunto he has
been called and he ought to amend.
or else go back to the place whence
he came and strike a job picking up
potatoes.
We especially invite the Meaghel
County News and Valley County
Gazette to these words.

QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR.

Ere another issue of this great
family organ is published, ere it
again starts on it's mission Of en-
tightening IA turbulent world, another
mile post will have been reached by
Father Time in his impetous rush
toward eternity. Another year will
have been added to the life of every
reader, as we'll as to the editor, who
is still fighting the battle single
handed and alone.
Here is heroism for you. Here is
the towering vigor of sturdy young
manhood just suffering for some one
to look upon it with sympathetic
eye. What will the year bring
forth: Will it be IA year, like the
past, of singleness and loneliness?
Will the relentless hand of death
demand the editors chips, and call
him out of the game? Will the
scrawny, wrinkled, and dyspeptic
editor of the Miner be married first:
Or will luck change in the direction
of this house and bring handsome
bride? We are in the battle to con-
quer or 10 fall; but if we fall, Il better
looking subject for a corpse cannot
be found inside any printing Office
in the beloved state.
Ere another issue of this breezy
sheet, the good resolutions will have
been made and most of them smashed.
Men are always glad when New
Year comes. Because there is lust
as much fun in smashing IA good res
o%lution as there was in the first trans
gression. We hope to gather the
texts of the good resolutions which
will be made in this town next week
and publish the same for the exul-
tation and editication of our many
readers.

Dupuyer Acantha: Because a
man does not believe as we Go it
does not follow that he is either a
fool or a knave. A man who is sure
that he is right and that everybody
else who differs with him is wrong.
is simply a conceited fool himself.
There are men who are not willing
to credit their opponents in politics
with the possession of common
sense. There are unbelievers in re-
ligion who rave of free thought as if
no one who accepts religion ever did
any thinking. All this is wrong.
1t does not fall to any n person to
discover the whole truth. 1t does
not fall to any one person to believe
and practice all of folly. A vein of
truth, however narrow, runs through
all parties, all creeds and all be-
liefs.

How Two .;olored Gentlemen Were Stop.
ped IN the Middle of 1t.
On Hastings street the other day a
young colored man about 20 years of
age sat Oh a doorstep browsing in the
sun. Many passed him by, but after a
time along came another young man of
about the same age carrying a cane. Of
course he stopped and poked, and of
course there were results. The sleeper
awoke and angrily demanded:
"Who dat pusson who kept tetchin
me all de timer"
"Is'pects yo' am lookin right at him,
sah, :" replied the n with the cane.
Julius, I'ze a mind to broke yo' in

"Shoo! Yo' couldn't hurt nobody"
Couldn't, Ell? 1 let yo' know, sab,

They stood facing each other, breath
ing hard, and were seemingly ON the
point of rushing at each other when a
small colored boy came around driving
an old ash wagon. 1t was a happy di-
version. Both realized it, and advancing
to the curbstone together one shouted:
"Look heah, boy, doan' yo' be drivin
around as if yo'r fadder owned dis hull
town, kase he don't. Yo' jist keep
mighty quiet around heah, or I'll make

tried to make himself look as small as
possible the other one added:

KEEP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
RIGHT.

4SA0XAA
No man should be seriously con-
sidered as a candidate for the United
States senate from Montana whose
record is not favorable to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of lG to
l, and to the preservation of our min
eral lands from the Northern Pacific
railroad company. Silver and the
mineral lands-these are the great
questions upon which the people of
Montana will tolerate no trihinp.
The republican party must prove its
absolute loyalty upon these great
issues in order to succeed in future
campaigns in this state. If it hest
tates in the performance of the high
duty which it owes to the people OF
Montana, it will invite defeat in the
campaign of '96. The republicans
have a handsome majority in the leg
islature. That majority was given
by the votes of the people, in the be-
lief that republicans wouldnot betray
the cause of silver, OF prove untrue
to the state upon the question of the
mineral lands.
If nov the the republican party
misuses that majority by electing as
senators men in whom the people
have no confidence as to silver and
the mineral lands, there will be nc
republican party in Montana for
many a year to come. The people
are in no mood to be trifed with as
TO these issues.
Hon. w. F. Sanders is an able
man; but the people of this state be-
lieve him to be unsafe on the free
coinage Of silver, and he is one of the
directors of the Northern Pacific rail.
way company which is seeking al
this time to wrest from the people oil
Montana nearly 100000 acres Of
mineral lands. The republican par
ty cannot afford to imperil its future
in Montana, to invite defeat in every
subsequent campaign before the peo.
pie, by his election to the senate.
Hon. II. H. Carter is a man O.
ability; but his record and position
in opposition to the free coinage O
silver are too well known to require
comment. The receivers of the
Northern Pacific railroad are also es
pecially DESTROYS for the election o.
Mr.. Carter. Why their enthusiasm
in his behalf? Is it because they be.
lieve him to be Jealous in preserving
the mineral lands of Montana to the
people, or because he would be Will

pie on that question, as he is with tn.
banks and against the people on the
silver question? Let these matter!
receive the serious consideration o
republicans, because~ upon their wis,
decision depends the future success.
or failure of the party in Montana.
We ad"ise the Legislature to cleo
men to the senate who are loyal OF
these great issues; whose records dc
not need to be apologized for, ant
who have the courage of their con
victions and the ability to defend an.
champion the interests of the state.

of the republicans of Montana
They are able, loyal, eloquent ane
