Buffalo Meat.

One of tho features of tho market
displays in Helena lately has been tho

Keepers Of tho Yellowstone country
were obliged to place over their doors
tho legend, "No Buff Here" in order
to secure custom. In'some cases tho
skill of the cooks enabled them to dis.
gulso tho meat and palm it off for beef,
and where the art was high oven pork
and mutton. Generally the effort to
work 1T oil in this way resulted in fail
ure. SO common was tho meat at
Miles City that it was sold ut two cents
per pound, or in many cases exchanged
for goods ut even less price.
The great hunts of 1881 and 1882
wero for the robes only, and the tax
ing OF tho flesh to tho markets was but
an incident. Tho hunters took only
the choice morsels-tho tongue, tho
hump and loins and brain and sweet
breads---for their own uso and loft the
rest to decay where it 10y. In somt
cases a small quantity of the meat was
jerked and the tongues smoked. Pom
mican was product of half-breed in
gonuity, and was made by chopping
up the icrkcd meat md after pouring
melted tallow upon it, sowing it up in
tho hides with sinews. It was very
palatable and was the chief food of tho
hunters and voyagers.

Bounties Are Unconstitutional,

One good thing may come about MS
a result of McKinleyism which McKin-
ley and his friends did not anticipate.
1t has always been maintained by the
opponents OF protective tariff. duties
that they wero unconstitutional, OK.
cept where protection" was M in
cident of n tax laid for revenue. But
the courts, while holding that Con.
gress has no right under its taxing
power to take money from ono man
for the sole purpose of paying it to
another, have refused to say that
duties intended to be protective to the
point of prohibition are not, what
their titles import, revenue duties.
The payment of bounties to sugar
producers under the provisions of the
Mckinley tariff net presents the prin-
ciple of protection in its naked form,
30 that tho courts may reach it. There
is no doubt that if the sugar bounty
claims shall be pressed to final de.
termination in the Supreme Court
they will be disallowed, on the ground
of the unconstitutionality of the law
authorizing the payment of bounties.
