The Silver Convention.

There was a good attendance and
much enthusiasm at the national sill
yer convention held in Des Moines
last week. Stirring speeches were
made. President Johnson of the BIZ
metallic league of Kansas, delivered
an address in which he said, "Grover
is a greater traitor to our government
than was jefferson Davis" The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The terrible condition which
now exists in our country is due to the
crime of demonitizing silver which increased
the purchasing power of gold, increased the
value of all commodities, closed our mines,
and factories, aud bankrupted our
business men; and
Whereas, Three-fourths OF the people
of this country are in favor of the full re-
monitization Of silver; and
Whereas, Silver was stricken down by
through the gold conspirators in the
political parties, Notwithstanding the
pledges OF both national platforms to the
therefore, be it
Resolved, That nominations from the
districts should be made by friends
of free silver who are u~nequivocally in favor
Of the free coinage Of silver and gold on a
the best guarantee OF their good faith and
who will stand on the resolutions adopted
this convention.

MONTANA PORK.

here was a fair attendance of farm
ers at Bozeman last week to attend a
convention called to consider ques-
tons of an agricultural nature and to
form a state dairy association. Anum-
Der of able addresses were made. A
letter was read from Z. ID. Armour,
the Chicago packer, in reference to
hog raising in Montana. In the letter
Mr.. Armour said hat better hogs could
be more successfully raised Oh barley
in Montana than they could in the east
OH corn. He concluded the letter with
the statement that as soon as the farm
ers of the state went into raising hogs
Systematically packing establishments
would be started in Montana.
This information comes from n very
capable and reliable source and should
be given due weight by Montana farm
ers. There is an impression among
our own people that Montana pork is
inferior to hat raised OH corn, and
there are some grounds for this opin-
lOb, pul VIC DtiiCNS ~ u IN nv
great effort has been made to obtain
the best results, there being no incen-
tive to do so. The most of our pork
that has been offered for sale has been
raised On slops, peas and wheat. II
barley will produce good pork there
can be no obstacle in the way of find
ing feed for hogs as Montana can beat
the world at growing barley. 1t Ger
tainly seems almost a crime that the
great bulk of the pork meat consumed
in this state is shipped in from the
corn raising states of the middle west.
1t means thousands of dollars expended
elsewhere hat should go into the
pockets of our farmers. Now, the
question is, is it not more the fault OF
our farmers than the merchants or
consumers? If they produced an ex.
%cellent quality of hams, bacon and salt
pork would there not be n local de-
mand? During the past year imported
ham has sold as high as twenty-five
cents n pound. This is an exorbitant
price, but if anyone is to be benefited
by this advance in pork meats it is un'
fortunate hat our ranchmen should
not receive their share. The finest
hams we have ever e in any coun'
try have been produced by Mr.. Fred
Jenni of Beaver creek, and il this car
be accomplished without any specia'
effort, what would be the result wher
the matter was given the closest atten'
ton i'll order to secure a permanent
and profitable home market. Thi.

ROSA BONHEUR,S o

The Great French Artists Pet Model Which
Died In Her Arms.
Rosa Bonheur loves the animals
she paints and is in turn adored by
them. She showed her recent pur-
chase, a magnificent lion, who purred
and writhed like a gigantic cat when
his owner ~fearlessly stroked his
mighty head. Then, showing the
head of a most superb specimen of
the African lion transferred to can
vas with startling realism, she tells
the story of Nero. He was her first
pet lion and was reputed untamably
ferocious and lived for several years
in the garden at By. At last one day
Rosa Bonheur was about to travel
and disposed of Nero to the Jardin
des Plantes. She parted with him
reluctantly, for he was a great pet
and would greet her always with a
peculiar little note of welcome.
When she returned from her wan
derings, two years later, she went to
see Nero and beheld a sad sight.
The poor creature had not been SO
carefully tended as he was used to be
at BY. Ophthalmia had set in, and
.he enleadid brute lay blind and all

that stared at him. Rosa Bonheur
watched him for a moment and then
called Nero" The effect was mag
ical. The lion rose to his feet, ut
tered his accustomed note of well
come and sprang toward the well
loved voice with such impetuosity
that the shock against the bars sent
the sightless brute rolling, stunned,
back on the floor. The great artist
took him back, soothed his last days
with tendance and petting, and final
ly he died in her arms at the foot of
the staircase at By, his huge paws
clinging to his mistress, as if implor-
ing her not to forsake him in his
death struggle, and his last move
ment being a feeble attempt to lick
the hands that held him with such
infinite tenderness. You see.n said

Ex-Governor Sam Hauser is a prett

Ex-Governor Sam Hauser is a pretty
good man in every respect. He was
one of the best governors Montana
ever had, and it was because he was
more Of a patriot than a politician.
He asked no favors of Grover Cleve-
land when he was president before and
asks none now. He has been in Wash
ington for weeks past laboring with
senators in be half of lead and wool and
he has aided in accomplishing
thing for the former. He knows Cleve-
land tn be as mean and stubborn as a
range bull, and ignorant and uncon-
cerned about western industries. He
has wasted no time On the fat monk.
Mr.. Hauser was interviewed in New
York IA few days since and after refer
ring to what had been done for lead,
Remarked: "But we could not get
wool on the dutiable list. That means
n great loss for Montana. 1t is some
thing, though, to have ores protected.
All of the industries of our state will
not he paralyzed." Is not this a frank
and honest admission that protection
has been a good thing for Montana?
This is not the talk of a campaign liar,
but Of a level-headed business man,
who thinks more of Montana than he
does of a position as "cuckoo"to Grover
Cleveland. In answer to the question,
"Would you prefer the Mckinley bill
tn the Wilson measure as it passed the
house," Mr.. Hauser replied: Ger
tainly, L would" If Sam Hauser had
been born in any other state but Mis-
souri, he would be a red hot Republi-
can, and it is possible that his hearty
espousal of Republican policies means
his conversion from the errors of the
past and that he may o be found
in the straight and narrow
path which leads to prosperity and
happiness in this world and JOY in the
hereafter. l.
