 SCIENTIFIC CONSOLATION.
 Then you notice 8 more significant fact, if you have talked with people on the subject, that they are getting dissat- isfed with philosophy and science as a matter of comfort. They say it does not amount to anything when you have a dead child in the house. They will tell you, when they were sick and the door of the future seemed opening, the only com fort they could find was in the gospel. People are having demonstrated all over the land that science and philosophy can not solace the trouble and woes of the world, and they want some other reli- zion, and they are taking Christianity, the only sympathetic religion that ever came into the world.
 You just take your scientific consola- tion into that room where mother has lost her child. Try in that case your splendid doctrine of the survival of the Attest" Tell her that child died because it was not worth as much as the other children. That is your survival of the Attest" Go to that dying man and tell him to pluck up courage for the future. Use your transcendental phraseology up on him. Tell him he ought to be confi- dent in "the great to be-" and the lever lasting now," and the 'eternal what is it." Just try your transcendentalism and your philosophy and your science on him.
 Go to that widowed soul and tell her it was a geological necessity that her companion should be taken away from her, just as in the course of the worlds history the megatherium had to pass out of existence, and then you go on in your scientific consolation until you get to the sublime fact that 50,000, 900 years from new we ourselves may bs scientific spec.

 The fact is that some naturalists just as soon as they find out the difference between the feelers of a wasp and the horns of beetle begin to patronize the Almighty, while Agaseiz, glorious Agas- sig, who never made any pretension to being Christian, puts both his feet on the doctrine of evolution and says, ''I see that many of the naturalists of our day are adopting facts which do not bear observation or have not passed under ob- servation."

I have to tell you that the room in which Voltaire wrote that prophecy not long ago was crowded from floor to cell ing with Bibles from Switzerland. Sup pose the congress of the United States should pass 6 law that there should be no more Bibles printed in America and no moro Bibles read. If there are 40,- 000, 900 grown people in the United States, there would be 40,000,0 900 peo- pie in an army to put down such law and defend their right to read the Bible. But suppose the congress of the United States should make law against the reading or the publication of any other book, how many people would go out in such crusade2
 Could you get 40, ,00O, 900 people to go out and risk their lives in defense of Shakespeare's tragedies or Gladstone's tracts or Macaulay's History of Eng landY' You know that there gre 1000 men who would die in defense of this book where there is not more than one man who would die in defense of any other book. You try to insult my common senee by telling me the Bible is fading out from the world.

A company of ex-employes from
Pullman, ILL.,, backed by Chicago
capital, has been organized to build
car and general manufacturing shop
at Hiawatha, Kansas. Brown coun-
ty citizens have taken $4,000 in
stock, and the Chicago capitalists
100000. Louis Meyer, the presi-
dent, and G. o. Alien, secretary,
has gone to Hiawatha to select the
site and complete arrangements to
begin work on the plant at once.
G. O. Alton is the inventor of the
palace sleeping car, for which Pull
man offered him sG5,OOO and a New
York company $4,000 and a royal
ty. The company will be managed
on the cooperative plan, each work
man to receive share of the profits,
though the capitalists are guaran-
teed SIX per cent on their Investment
before the laborer comes in for his
share. The company has control of
all kinds of railroad equipment.
KNOWS HIS BUSINESS.
Louis Meyer, president of the
company, is the architect of the in
itial Pullman shops and has been in
the employ of that company ever
since its organization. Eight hun
dred ex-employes of the Pullman
shops will come and begin the build
ing of the works as soon as the pre-
llmlnary arrangements are made.

Who Does tho Business?

In this age when every enter.
prising city in the country has
the telephone, one would suppose
that an aspirant for the capital
would be well supplied, but it is not
always so, as the Helena Indepen.
dent says:
"According to the official directo.
ry of the Rocky Mountain Bell Tel
ephone company there are 9l7 tele-
phones in use on their system in
Helena, Butte, Great Falls, Nilsson
la Bozeman, Deer Lodge, Philips
burg and Anaconda. Butte Gnclud-
ing South Butte, Walkervlle,
Meaderville, Centreville and Silver
Bow heads the list with 267 instru
ments. Helena comes next with
2o6, followed by Great Falls 173,
Missoula S4, Bozeman As, Anaconda
IA, Deer Lodge l and Phlipsburg
10. OF the fourteen telephones in
Anaconda seven are in institutions
controlled by the Anaconda compa-
ny, or Mr.. DAILY, leaving only seven
for the ''outsiders" who do business
in the Copper city to do their hello
ing over. The Standard admits that
Butte does the heaviest business IN
the state, and says that Anaconda
comes next, and that poor little Hell
ena isn't in it. Strange that Ana
conda, where there is such an i'm
mense business carried on,
should only have use for fourteen
telephones, while in Helena, which,
according to the Standard, is dead,
and has lost whatever little iobbing
trade she had, 25G telephones are re-
CURED"

TO RECEIVE MR.. HARTMAN,
Bozeman's Citizens Will Turn Out
to Welcome Him.

The Young Mems Republican club
of Gallatin county met at their reg
ular quarters in Bozeman Monday
evening for the purpose of making
final arrangements for the reception
of Charles S. Hartman, who was to
arrive on Tuesday morning from
Washington. On Tuesday evening
at 7:3O the Young Mems republican
club, the members of the Gallatin
county central committee and citi
zens were met by the Bozeman cor
net band at the opera house. They
then marched to the home of Mr..
Hartman and escort him to
the opera house where speaking be-
gan at s o'clock. j. V. Bogert,
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, preside over the meeting and
George ID. Pease, president of the
republican club, spoke in behalf of
that organization, welcoming home
Montana's congressman. The rest
of the talking was given to Mr..
Hartman, after which an informal re-
ception was held.

Refused to Comply.

News from the Massillon, Ohio,
coal fields is to the effect that the
miners have refused to accept the
ultimatum of the operators which
provided that they should resume
work today upon a schedule of wag-
es based on the Columbus scale. 1t
is said that many of the miners are
now removing their tools from the
mines, and it is believed that the
operators will carry out their inten-
ton of resuming work with non-un-
ion men. The miners of the Massil-
lon district, about 5000 in number,
have been on strike since Feb. II.

the people. An honorable defeat is
always preferable to dishonorable
election.
L have gone into the late senator
ial contest simply to show what kind
of corporation the Anaconda COM
pany is. ! regard the town the com
pany, or the company the town.
Take the company away from the
town and you turn the town over to
the bats. Without the influence and
doodle of the company, Anaconda
would not have had second place two
years ago, and would not stand a
ghost of show this fall. Without
the company's smelters there never
would never have been an Anaconda.
1t is only question of time when
she will be Virginia city, Nevada.
DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
!, in common with all other resid-
ents OF Gallatin county regret fer
Bozeman that she failed to get a
place in the race; but it was willed
otherwise. SO now it becomes our
duty to ourselves and to our beloved
state to set aside all preiudices and
exercise our better judgment,
considering well the advantages as
we'll as the disadvantages of both
cities. Don't forget we are all
"hogs, Tin vul gar parlance; recollect
that all cities have their sinners and
need Il little hell to chuck them into
before there can be any sanctifca-
ton.
We are just through with one of
the greatest strikes the world ever
experienced, caused by an arbitrary
corporation. Are we now going to
locate the state capital in a similar
village, and if possible, under worse
and more undemocratic corporation?

The Investigating Committee
Makes Il Few Startling
Discoveries.
A COOPERATIVE CAR-SHOP TO
DO UP THE PULLMAN.
The MaSillOn Miners Refuse to
Work at the Columbus
Wage Scale.

AT the investigation of the Pull
man strike by the national commiss-
toner's Vice President Wickes of the
Pullman company, took the stand.
lie said the cost to the company of
building cars under contract at the
time of the strike, was about 81 400.
600. Labor would cost S24O.OOO.
The contracts were taken on basis
OF a reduction of 20 per cent. Thus,
under the old prices, the labor would
cost about $4,000. Wickes adj
mlttted that on this basis the compa-
ny had reduced receipts So, 200 and
its employees wages 100000. This,
the vice president said, looked hard
fair, but he thought it much better
than to throw the men entirely out
of employment. In answer to the
chairman, Wickes said the cut in
pay had been made to fit the present
depression in business, and the low
selling price of cars. and not to stop
any encroachment of the profits paid
the stockholders. The surplus of
S2o,OOO,O0O undivided profits con-
sisted partly of idle cars whose val
ue was constantly depreciating.
The cost of the cars was counted in
the surplus, so there was to some ex-
tent fiction of figures in the sur
plus.

ONLY FOOLS TALK.

First he gives us the flour episode:
"Gallatin flour makes sour bread.''
For arguments sake, we will pre-
sumo Helena guilty. There is no
doubling the fact that old man Brai-
nerd did go through this valley with
such an inscription on his wagon;
but does any sane man for one mo-
ment suppose every person in Hele-
ma engaged in the work of hiring
that old fool to make such display +?
The fact is, nine-tenths of her pres
ent population were not in Helena at
the time. But the real fact is, Hell
ena parties are not the guilty ones,
as George Cope and others are ready
to testify to. They know the whole
circumstances, and that citizens of
Virginia city were the guilty parties.
1t was done to antagonize the people
of Gallatin county against Helena for
a purpose. So much for that fool
talk.
Now for the cracker episode:
What is there in it? The Helena
cracker factory pronounced the flour
made at the Helena mills better than
that made at the Gallatin valley
mills. The fact Is the Helena mills
grind thousands of bushels of Gala
tin valley wheat. Possibly the wheat
the noted flour was made from came
from this valley. I repeat, what has
Helena, as city to do with that?
Next, he attributes the loss of Ft.
Ellis to Helena's manipulations. |
am not familiar enough with the cir
cumstances connected with this mat
ter to enter into controversy over
it, but am content to believe the loss
of FIT. Ellis to this valley was owing

l see by reading your excellent
paper that Helena has your support
for the capital. | am glad to find at
least one of our papers that is will

against a corporation composed of

love for American institutions is in
the opportunities they offer to obtain

SOME SOUND SENSE.
The Avant Courier of July %, at
tempts to answer your query of
"Will some one please tell the peo-
pie of Gallatin county what Anacon-
da has done for it. They are anx-
iously waiting to know?" In its re-
ply, the Courries tries to draw the
inference from your query that the
people of Gallatin county "have been
placed under important material or
moral obligation, or both, TO Hell
ena." | don't think that any sensi-
BILE supporter of Helena thinks any
thing of the kind, but so far as con-
sumers of Gallatin county produce
goes, Anaconda is not and never was
to be compared with Helena. But
we do not owe Helena any obliga-
tion because she purchases our prod
ucts any more than we are under OBJ
legation to Bozeman merchants for
furnishing us goods. They wanted
our produce, and we wanted to sell
it. The esteemed Courier seems to
entertain the correct idea of recipro-
city, but after telling us that the
wise man said, "Answer a man ac-
cording to his folly" Before taking
up his demonstrating Gallatin coun-
tvs obligations to Helena" | will
make another quotation from that
same "wise man." 1t is: "When
a fool speaks, let wise men keep ST.
lent" But sometimes foolish re-
marks are entitled to respectful an
