What the corn crop is to the mid
die and southeastern states alfalf;
promises to become to the arid states
Of the west and southwest. Most
people have heard that it is a plant
Of the clover family, and that in good
years three crops in a season are OBJ
tanned from it. But Of it's immense
valle to the soil itself few have any
idea. Like any ordinary cloycrs it
strikes downward a thick and tough
taproot. This great root sometimes
goes down 20 feet in search of the
subterreanean water. 1t brings up
from far below the surface the min
cral salts the soil needs and makes it
soft, rich and pulyerizable.
Bccycs are fattcncd ut a very
small expense on alfalfa, with corn
to finish them off and improve their
flesh. 1t is d question that concerns
the whole country whether it is ever
to get meat cheaply again. Alfalfa
will answer the question in the
Affirmative if it has it's way, and the
farmer will make just as much profit
too. Throughout Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, New Mexico and Utah ag-
riculturalists are depending more
and more on this new old forage
plant to make the horses and the
beef and pork for the east
ern market, and it never fails them.
In place Of the grass hay of the east
the southwestern farmer cures one Of
the three cuttings from his alfalfa
fields in a season and finds that it is
even better than hay Under these
the agriculturist can
not in the alfalfa region do better
than to go heavily into beef, mutton
and pork raising Red Lodge Picket.

SENATOR STEWART
Says the Silver Question Will be 'prom-
incnt in the Next Congress.

Washington, Oct. l9.-William NJ.
Stewart, senator from Neveda, and
the editor OF the organ Of the Silver
Knights Of America is emphatic in
stating that the silver question will
be prominent in the next congress
and in the next national campaign.
The Nevada senator is one Of the
most determined men in0thc United
States in advocating the recognition
Of the white .metal. He is Of the
opinion that this government can
never become prosperous until the
white metal is placed On an equality
with the yellow coin. He says that
the next congress will pass a bill pro-
yidiny for the free coinage Of silver
at a ratio OF 6 to !, that this bill will
be vetoed by President Cleveland but
later on both Of the old parties, as
well as the populsts, will make this
issue a leading one in the campaign
Of 1896.
The white bearded, whtc-haired
senator from Nevada, though this is
an old story, is absolutely certain
that the white metal will figure as
one Of the most important issues, not
only in the next congress. but in the
next national campaign as we'll. lie
believes that while no national law
will be enacted Until! another admin
istration is in power that the silvcl
question will be Of such Importance,
that the next president Of the United
States will find it difficult to cvade
the approval Of a bill placing silver
on an equality with gold.

Figures That Talk.

What do the democratic organs re-
ply to these figures:
Under the Mckinley bill for the
year ending June 80, 1894, the cx-
ports Of this country Amounted to
$3.50, 05S, 1853.
Under the Wilson bill for the year
ending June 30, 1895, the exports
were S793, 3,553,OlG.
This is a fal1'1ng off Of over $780,
900, 900.
During the year ending June 80,
1895, the imports increased over $751; :
900, 900. which means that SS4 ,O0O,-
900 worth Of American labor was dis
placed by competitive European Ia
Dor.
And still the democratic organs
say that the tariff will not be an is

The New Style Waltz.

The girl who indu]ges in the giddy
waltz will hear with satisfaction that
the heads Of New York and Washing
ton society have decided that sitting
out waltz next winter will be more
fashionable than ng-the only
difference is that you sit instead Of
dance. The mans right arm is
around the girls waist, while his left
hand holds her right. Her left hand
is placed lovingly on his shoulder,
and all you have to do is to listen to
the music. Now, that is something
like it. It is a nuisance. to have to
gallop mile or Two to get little
hug or two. A room full Of people
sitting around on sofas hugging to
music is more to our notion.-Ex-
change.
That wouldn't do in Bitter Root,

would insist that every dance should
be gladys choice" Then what would

Commander of the Loyal Legion.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The COM
mandery-in-chief Of the Loyal Legion
Of the United States met here in BIZ
ennial session here today. Gen. Lu-
cius Fairchild, grand commander,
presided. There were II delegates,
representing every state except Ore
gon. The first ballot for grand com
mander resulted: Gen. Miles, q;
Gen. Gibbon. 1G; Gen. Swayne, II.
Gen. Gibbon was elected on the sec
ond ballot, receiving 60 votes to 20
for Miles. Gen. Miles lacked only
one vote Of election on the first bal
lot, and it is believed would have
succeeded on the second ballot but
for the superior age Of Gen. Gibbon,
which influenced many delegates to
vote for him.

THE GOVERNOR pARDONs
The Three Whalcy Boys Sentenced From
This County Last Year.


Helena Oct. 16.-The Whaley
brothers, David, Clement and Mat
thew, who were sent up from Rayalli
county nearly two years ago for
grand larceny, were Internationally
pardoned tonight by GOV. Richards.
The three brothers were given terms
of seven and onc-half years each. The
supreme court recently passed on
their cases and sustained the judg-
mcnt because of errors made in the
appeal. The supreme court, how
ever, stated when the opinion was
handed down, that the defendants
did not have a fair trial. and virtual
" recommended executive clcmcncy.
The petition for pardon was en-
dorscd By the state board OF prison
commissioners and by prominent Cit
liens OF Ravalli county and else
where. In his letter to the board OF
paydons the governor said in part:
"Thc unanimity of sentiment that
prevails among the prominent citi-
zens OF Missoula relative to this case,
the views Of the press respecting the
feeling that prompts the leaders of
public thought in Rayalli county to
pray for executive interference in
this matter, strengthen the convic-
tion forced ou my Judgment through
personal investigation that it be-
comes my duty to submit to your
honorable board this recommendation
for mercy. If one Of the supreme
ends Of the law is the administration
Of justice and the promotion Of equity
in the affairs of men, then the release
Of the Whaleys must follow in the
order Of things" m"=

the Consulate TO revive as much as was
valuable out of the former estate. Tho
people, were terminated and inspired. A
new life flourished on every hand. The
vigor Of tho First Consul diffused itself
through all the elements of society.
The educational system, also, felt the
touch OF the master hand. The schools
were visited and reformed. New methods
Of instruction and discipline were suggest
ed. Prizes were offered and ambitious
students were pensioned. The exiled mem
bcrs of the old Constituent Assembly and
the Emigrants alike wcro invited to re-
turn. Peace was the order of the day. The
civil condition was considered In all Ats
parts New institutions were created. A
Consular Guard was established. Vaccina-
tion was introduced by the example and
precept of Bonaparte. Streets, buildings,
bridges, wharves, highways, parks, hospi-
tails, cemeteries, sewers, s,--everything began
TO be planned, considered and performed
with rational activity which still sur
prises our century.
The First Consul was most anxious
to effect settlement with Great Brit
ain. That done, peace might be universal.
The summer of 1901 was consumed with
overturos freely made by Napoleon and
suileuiy considered by Pitt. On the fst OF
October the preliminarics of peace werc
signed at London. Everything seemed 70
be about to subside into calm. Such, how
ever was the political condition of Europe
that the hoped-for pacifcation Jagged; and
1t was not until the 27th Of March, 1902,
that the TREATY OF AMIENs was finally
concluded.
The parties to this famous compact, so
spectacular and so specious were Great
Britain on the one side, and France, Spain
and tho Batavian Republic on the other.

been made vice-president two months pre-.
