THE COUNTY CLERKS REPORT.

The annual report of Mr.. Barclay
Jones, published in another column OF
this paper, shows Madison county to be
in a very healthy condition financially.
It should be read by all who take an in
terest or pride in the clean, conserva-
tive and economical manner in which
the affairs Of this county are admins
tered. We commend its perusal to the
doubling Thomases Of the county, ifany
there be. to show them the error of
their ways.
Under the law in effect prior to the
first of last July the county clerk was
required to prepare an annual state
ment of receipts and disbursements for
the year. Under the code the fiscal
year begins December /, and ends No.
vember 80, and all county officials are
required to make reports on December
10 of each year. The published report
is made in compliance with the new
law.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
county has expended in the neighbor-
hood of $500 in public improvements,
the purchase of a poor farm and repairs
at the court house, the county indebted
ness has been reduced 81, 500 during the
year. against a reduction of about S.
600 for 1894. The total indebtedness is
So. 440.O while county property, ex-
elusive Of SO. 600 worth of bridges. is
placed at $4,000. The floating indebt-
edness OF the county. in the way of out
standing warrants, is small, and we
venture to assert that there is not an
other county in the state which has not
paid more or less interest on warrants.
During the past year Madison county
has O expended n cent in this direc-
tiOn. There are few counties in the state
the administration of which is more
economical. The expenses Of court
and OF the officials generally are light.
This exceedingly happy condition of
affairs will probably result in a lower
rate OF taxation for 1896, an announce
ment which will occasion no regret.
Deeds speak louder than words, and
the result is a fine tribute to the abil-
ity and zeal of the officials, who look
after the county's welfare.

RAISING HOGS IN MONTANA.

There is not half enough attention
given to the raising Of hogs in this
state. There is, on a rough estimate,
ten times more pork and bacon On
sumed in the state than there is pro-
duced, and just why our farmers do not
raise more pork is a mystery which we
do not understand. Horses and sheep
are eating the grass Oft the hills with
out returning one dollar of profit. and
while cattle are now yielding some
cash to the ranchmen, yet hogs turned
into pork, bacon and hams would give
larger returns than all OF the rest of
the stock combined. Hogs are subject
to no diseases in this state: they can be
grown on alfalfa and other grass and
fattened on wheat, peas and potatoes,
all of which are prolific producers or
our soil.
Pork made from wheat and peas is
the best, sweetest and Whitest meat
in the world and brings the highest
price in all the eastern markets. There
is a home demand for all of the pork
which can be raised in the state and
there is no need to send it abroad, the
prices here being as it is in st. Paul or
Chicago. We will refer to this matter
again in a future issue, giving details
which will convince the ranchmen that
this is a profitable and renumerative
business.

REEDS POLICY.

A restoration of the duty on wool is
one OF the measures contemplated by
Speaker Reeds policy. 1t is needless
to state that there will be rejoicing
among the sheep me- Of Montana over
this announcement. Such a law would
put 9he price Of wool up several points,
and would revive one Of Montana's
tagging industries. Concerning this
matter. a recent dispatch says:
Mr.. Reed believes that the republi-
cans are bound to do something to in
crease the revenues, whether the
president makes any recommendation
on that point or not, and, therefore, he
will advocate the passage of something
like the bill Mr.. Allison introduced at
the last session, authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury to issue a long,
time, low-interest bond or an interest
bearing certificate whenever it shall
be necessary to meet a deficit in the
public revenues. He also believes it
to be the duty of the house to pass with
as little debate as possible a brief tariff
bill, which shall restore . portion OF
the old duty on wool, increase the
present duty upon wooden goods 20 OF
Is per cent. add something to the dut.
les on pottery, hay, eggs, potatoes and
some other agricultural products. and

TALLY ONE FOR PETER.

We hope that Senator PETERS con-
gressional funeral bill will come out of
the House intact and become ia law.
The distinguished kansan is general
ly regarded. outside of his popalistic
admirers. as a crank. but in this par
ticular instance, his head is level. 1t
has been the custom, since about 1885,
for the government to pay all expenses
attendant upon the death of a member
of congress-. In case the member died
in Washington the expense included
transportation OF a committee of con-
gressmen who would accompany the
remains to the home of the deceased.
In the old days this was only a modest
tribute to the dead statesman. The
first three senatorial funerals, those of
VanDyke, Mc1lvaine and Gailiard, to-
tailed only 1914. Along n.the ffties
this congressional tribute grew to an
average Of about 81 900, which was not
bad. But OF late years the practice
has hc"n shamelessly abused. accord
ing 20 the statistics presented by Mr..
PETER. The case of the burial of the
late George Hearst is probably the
most glazing. Senator Hearst's funer-
al cost the government. including all
the expenses OF the senatorial commit
tee to the dead mans home in Cali
fornia, champaign opened and cigars
smoked en- route, the enormous sum of
$2l 800. 1t vas q juncketing trip for a
party of jolly h%ypocrites, whose COM
mission wal ostensible a tribute to a
dead statesman, but which in reality
was a rollicking "high-lonesome,' with
Uncle Sam paying directly for the Or
gle. The Hearst case is exceptional,
but there are others nearly as bad, and
unless Mr.. PETERS bill becomes a law,
the practice will be even still further
abused. The money thus expended
could be put to better use, and if the
Kansan succeeds in putting a stop to
the custom, he will be entitled to the
thanks Of the thinking men of the re-
public.
