As 1t Applies to Mr.. Baynrd.

The only analogy between the case of Mr..
Van Buren, and that of Mr.. Bayard is that
the former enjoyed the same degree of
favor at the hands of Gen. Jackson that
Mr.. Bayard does at the hands of Mr.. Cleve-
land. That Mr.. Cleveland would be glad
to have Mr. Bayard succeed him in the
White House is regarded as more than
probable But, with that exception, all else
is different. What Mr.. Van Buren, as Sec
Ietary of State instructed MIR. McLane to
&C mmunicate to the government of Great
Britain was true. A change of economic
policy was to take place over here by the
PASSING of governmental control from the
wings, under John Quincy Adams, to the
democrats, under Andrew jackson. Lower
t. riff duties were on the cards. But what
the Senate rebuked Mr.. Van Buren, for was
the Baxter street style in which he was
seeking to use the fact in his relations with
foreign countries. The Senate thought that
his method of soliciting larger commercial
intercourse with Great Britain was cacu-
lated to lower the tone of the United States
as a nation. What Congress is asked to
&C Mr.. Bayard for is something the
republicans characterize as being not only
improper, but untrue. In plain words, Mr..
Eayard is accused of slandering his coun-
try and it's people.

So far as Mr.. Cleveland's favor goes,
democracy's present situation. If the Pres
ident has anything of value for a legatee
it is not visible to the naked eye. His sec
ond term is approaching a very different
conclusion from that of Gen. jackson
Then the democracy was triumphant all
along the line. Now the party is all but
disrupted, and it's leaders are joking one
another about the shyness shown when
hext years nominatio is mentioned Mr.
Whitney is overwhelmed with business
Senator Hill proposes Col. Morrison. Sen
ator Erice must look out for his railroads
Mr.. Carlisle is maneuvering to get back to
the practice of law. And so it goes Ali
very different from the day when John c.
Calhoun was consumed with disappoint-
ment fof being unable to secure a nominal
ton which was known to carry election
with it.
Bayard's Usefulness Impaired.
Will Mr.. Bayard continue to take an
amused view of the matter? Can he afford
to do SO? Will not a formal vote of
censure by Congress, supplemented by the
opinions of the representative newspapers
of the country, impair even his usefulness
in England? Already some surprise is eX-
pressed there at his course. But suppose
rot word of this had been uttered. Sup
pose all was unreserved Endorsement there

Ouack Nj edicines of Bygone Days.

Nearly everything in the animal

healing art, says Julius Stinde, a
German writer. In the oldest med

Dogs teeth, overripe dates and
asses hoofs We're carefully cooked in

before Cheops, this recipe for hair
oil is older than the great pyramid at
Gizeh and is supposed to date back
more than 6 200 years. The heads OF
venomous serpents have held an i'm

VALE. COMPANY STORE.

The company store has spccumb-

closes its portals today. Human
liberty is again enthroned and just
ice is assured to all.
Again the HERALD rises to remark
that this fight was not for individuals
but for principles. There is no man
whom W. wish in any manner to in:
inre. Bnt.the principle upon which
company institutions are conducted
is bad. They harbor no good for
any place, and the town is cursed al
ready when they get a foothold.
The HERALD is proud Of its Wig
orous stand in this fight. Proud Of
the citizens who 50 couragcouslv raj
lied to its support. Proud of the
state press who so heroicalIy helped
to clinch the coffin nails. And
prouder yet of Neihart where the air
IS free and the soul u~npinioned.

adversary while he is down. But

If the people were only willing to
seem poor, they would find poverty
pleasant. But they dread the con-
tempt they imagine the rich people
feel for them on account of their
poverty. Sometimes purse proud
persons DO manifest Il toploftical
scorn for poor people, but such purse
proud folk show by this that they
are made fools by their money. 1t is
a weakness in the poor to care for
the suparcilious Stiffness of the hare
Drained rich, and the sensible rich
should frown down all such sill
ness. NO sensible person feels any
contempt for the poor on account of
their poverty, and what silly people
think is no matter.-Louisville West

WHOM WILL YE SERVE?

Speaker Reed has announced his
financial views in tones unmistaka-
BILE and not inlmical to western inter
ests. He would promptly settle this
question by reciprocal trade relations
and by discriminative tariff laws. He
ardently recommends such a course,
thus removing his name from among
thoroughbred goldbugs.
And now is the time for Governor
Mckinley to define his stand. The
dilemma of s%ilver's friends today lies
not in an unrighteous cause, nor yet
in lack Of earnest advocates; but in IA
want of able leadership. Everybody
believes the subject to be American.
All look upon Mckinley as the cham
pion of things American. The ques-
ton is:
WHERE Is THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES:
Will he proclaim that s~ilver's veal
is Americas gain? Will he cham
pion the protection of Il western in
dustry as heroicalIy as he does an
eastern? Will he accept as true the
analogy Of silver coinage and tariff
protection, or will he deny that BIZ
metallism in America can be success
full:
We have our minds established.
We believe in protection; believe
profoundly in bimetallism; and that
national prosperity hangs not upon
one, but upon both. We gracionsly
allow protection to be due
the industries of the east; and
maintain that a like protection must
be accorded the industries Of the
west. We believe the country strong
enough, and the republican party
able enough to decide this question
IN INTEREST or AMERICA.
Let the party prov" itself equal t'
the emergency.
People of the west, particularly re.
pubIicans, have been looking to Me-
KinIev, as a leading American, tc
advance a solution TO the grave pro.
blem. Having led the way in form
er issues, the people now ask him tc
outline a course by which the west
may receive her due to the benefit o.
the entire country.
We have always been republican
and fought hard for party success
But if that party does not move Wig
oronsly for the reinstatement of sill
yer, then we are no longer republi
can. We feel, too, that we voic'
the sentiment of a majority OF Mont
ana republicans. HONE INTEREST
ARE FIRST. The HERALD is not sub
iect to party control, but will serv
that party which vouchsafes to ac
complish the desidcratum.

KENTUCKY HIGHWAYS.
Paper ON the Old and New System of
Road Building,


A paper on Kentucky highways, contain
ing full history of the old and new sys-
TENS of road building in that state, pre-
pared by Maj. NJ. H. Crump, member of the
national advisory committee en- roads, has
been made public by the Agricultural De-
partment. The improvement of public roads
was begun in Kentucky in the early part
of the present century; and today few
states. it is said, can boast of a better or
more extensive system of macadamized
highways. Kentucky passed its first road
law February Is, 1902 1t was very similar
to that Of Virginia, which was in turn an
adoption of the English road law that has
prevailed for ages. One section of that law
compelled all male laboring persons, six
teen years and older, except masters Of two
or more male laboring slaves, sixteen years
or more. to work on some public road.
Few states, the paper says, have been
more liberal in promoting public improve
ments than Kentucky, especially in the
matter Of highways, railroads and water
ways. In another portion 1t is said: 1.-The
state has some 2,O,W or more male convicts
IN its two penitentiaries. portion of whom
are being worked by contractors in trades
which come more or less in competition
with free labor. In this day, when so much
Is being said and written against such com
petition. 1t behooves the law makers Of the
land to devise some method by which such
a body of able-bodied men can be required
to support themselves, and at the same
time render valuable aid to the state No
better plan has been suggested than that
of working the prisoners on the public high
ways. Several states nave already begun
this. Some work has been done along this
line in Virginia, as well as in North Caro-
lima. Arrangements may be perfected for
letting the prisoners by contract either to
counties or to congressional districts, This
is a question of vital Importance to the
state of Kentucky

1t has been stated that Miller was urged
by other parties to test the law, although
Judge Cole had already passed upon 1t in
the case of the Ivy City bookmakers, in the
hope that reversal by the Court of Ap-

resumption of racing at the Benning
