Although railroad business has been
picking UP the last few months. the
railroad companies claim that they are
running their trains at a margin OF
profit insufficient TO maintain the prop
erty and support the capitalization.
The president OF the American Rail-
way association states ''the unvarying
conclusion as to freight traffic is that
the average railroad. in point OF reve-
nue., cannot remain solvent with any
further reductionin the rate per ton per
mile" The Boston Herald believes this
to be- a true statement OF the case. and
quotes figures showing a very heavy
reduction OF freight charges per ton
per mile on some OF the great railroads
of the East during the last twenty
years on the New York Central this
reduction since 1873 was from 1-s7 cents
TO 10 cents: on the Pennsylvania road
from 1.il5 cents to o5zi cents: on the
Erie from 1.454 cents to o.si4 cents. The
Herald admits that the cost Of carry

A Dowry on Approval.

A curious custom prevails among
Roumanian peasants. When a Rou-
manian girl is of a marriageable age,
all her %trousseau, which has been
carefully woven, spun and embroid-
cred by her mother and herself, is
placed in a painted wooden box.
When a young man thinks of asking
to be allowed to pay his attentions to
the girl, he is at liberty first to open
the box, which is always placed con-
veniently at hand, and examine the
trousseau. If the sutton is satisfied
with the quantity and quality of the
dowry, he makes a formal applica-
ton for the girls hand, but if, ON
the contrary, the trousseau does not
please him, he is quite at liberty to
retire .-London Woman.

THE PRESENT STATUS.

Since our last issue there has been
little or no change in the situation
at Neihart. Works 90 on as usual
with the same resolution on the part
of citizens and miners. We do not
call this the HERALD's fight. 1t is a
fight of honest, loyal, law-abiding
citizens in the interest of the public
good. 1t is evident that a great
conspiracy had been undertaken to
tie up the town. Statements by
miners and citizens, winch can he
produced under oath, 90 to show
that the town was threatened with
n of the most monumental frauds
that was ever perpetrated upon any
community. When any company or
corporation has made its town, con
ditions might be said to be different.
But the town of Neihart was founded
fourteen years ago, not by any com
pany or corporation but by IA band
of independent and free p~rospectors,
who built homes and developed
claims to make it possible for cor
porations to gain a footing. These
prospectors are still here. Among
them may be found some Of the most
clear headed, open-souled, liberal
mined men in any country. Men
who have always had the towns best
interest in their minds.
They have not failed us. They
have gone heart and soul into a
movement to effectually and forever
down the company store. Not one
company store more than another
but they are thoroughly resolved
that no company store will ever ex'
ist here. And it will be so.
We are more than proud to see
with what unanimity the press of til,
state has proclaimed its stand in the
present fight. With only one ex.
ception, that of the Rocky Noun
tain IIusbandman, the state papers
have sounded back their notes il

ARE HAVING \ RACK EFT.

Says the esteemed Helena News:
''The People of Neihart are having
a racket over the attempt of the
management of the Broadwater mine
to start a store at which employees of
the mine would be compelled to
trade or lose their jobs. The Miners
Union of that place boycotted the
store, the newspapers and citizens
took up the fight and were making it
lively for the management when the
latter got out an in junction. The
Injunction seems not to have zen
joined" and the business of the store
is nil. The Broadwater mines still
run, and the people say they
will never submit to the tyranny OF
being compelled to purchase goods
anywhere by any mine management.
They are right, and we hope they
will win the fight. Such establish.
ments should not be permitted tc
exist in Montana.

ner IN the state in its fight agains,

a dollar by the sweat of his brow, he
should certainly have the right t.
spend that dollar with the merchan,
from whom he can get the most fol
it. But if he is compelled to trade
at a company store it is ten chances
to one that he pays more for what
he buys than he could purchase the
same elsewhere for. and he virtually
becomes a slave, as he seldom has q
chance to handle the money TO,
which he sells his labor. The com
pany store should not be allowed tc
gain a foothold in Montana, and it is
Just as well that the death blow be
delivered at Neihart as anywhere
else.
