IlOME INDUSTRY.

One of the state papers, it's name has
escaped us, and, 60 far as that is con-
cerned, it is not material, says: ga rep
resentative Of a book making establish
ment located on the Pacific coast has
just received through the county printer
an order for about forty blank books.
We presume they will be furnished for
actual cost, with express added"
There should not have been any occa
sion to print such an item. The intent
and object of the county printing law
was to protect homo industry. Legiti-
mate prices we're fixed for all classes of
work in order that the employers of we'll
paid labor in Montana might not be
compelled to enter into r%uinous compe-
tition with the cheap labor of the east or
the coast. There are in this state half a
dozen printing and binding establish
ments that can do the work, and if the
facilities of the county printer in any
county are not equal to the job he should
send the work to some Montana estab-
lishment. Neither st. Paul nor San
Francisco are doing anything to build
up Montana and the owners of county
newspapers here should have sense
enough to realize that fact and patriot
ism enough to keep the work at home.

PRECEPT AND PRACTICE.

There is no question about it, the old
philosopher who declared that it made
quite a difference whose OK was gored
knew what he was talking about. Not a
day passes but what the axiom finds an
apt illustration. The latest OK is no less a
~redoubtable person than General Coxey.
who. two years ago, almost created a
revolution in the country with his move
ment to compel the government to find
woTkfor all the idle men Or support them
and who Incidentally forced COMMUNE
tles, in She ives: especially, to provide
literally for the wants Of his army while
en- route. Al that time. General Coxey
was, go 10 speak, foTaging on the enemy.
Now, his creed finds a personal ~applica-
ton and he is not equal to the occasion,
in other words, he refuses to take his
own medicine. The general is pretty
we'll fixed financially ana in his retinue
during the onward movement were two
bright particular stars, Carl Browne, the
principal lieutenant, and Miss Coxey, the
lG-year-old daughter of the chief. Since
the campaign but little has been heard
of Browne, bat he must have been loaf
ing around the throne and putting in his
time with good effect, for Il few
days ago he and the young
girl were secretly married. Browne
knowing the old gentlemau's oft pro.
claimed philanthropy evidently thought
lie had Il soft snap and th~t he could
settle down on the Massillion farm and
enjoy lite at leisure, while papa" would
pay the bills. It appears that he Is
doomed 10 disappointment. Ii is the
old story OF precept and practice. Coxey
who insisted that all the idle men in the
land should be supported whether they
worked or not has changed bis tune and
now says that his erstwhile lieutenant
must rustic for his own living and that
Of his wife, or starve for be will not care
FOR them. The mora! is obvious. The
modern reformer is made of but very
common clay; he wants you to do as he
says, not as he does.

DEFIING THE LAW,

Chicago is again the scene, but this
time it is not the laborer, but the cap
italist who is defying the law, and that,
too, with force at arms. The situation
car be briefly told. few days ago the
supreme court of Illinois rendered a
decision which in effect authorized the
owners of certain Illinois distilleries that
were held by the whisky trust to again
take POSSESSION of their property. When
the decision was announced Receiver
McNulta is reported to have declared
that he would resist the mandate of the
court at any cost. Today's dispatches
tell US that he kept his word. When the
officers of the state court went to take
possession of Il Of the plants they were
met and fired upon by an armed force,
placed there by McNulta, As to the
merits Of this quarrel the average man

THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT
Shows Marked Improvement Along All
the Lines of School Work.

The following is the annual report of
Superintendent Largent covering the
work in the public schools for the last
year:
TO the Honorable Board Of Education.
Gentiemen: l hereby submit 10 you
my third annual report of your schools
for the year ending May 81, 1895:
The year has been on the whole a very
satisfactory one. 1t has been compar-
atively free from epidemics, unusually
severe weather, and other causes which
retard the progress add impair the eff
cheney Of good school work. Most of the
teachers have earnestly and diligently
devoted themselves to their work. They
have been loyal to every interest Of the
school and have labored faithfully to Sc
cure the best results by the most ap-
proved methods.
The work done in the various grades
with few exceptions has been of a very
high character. The pupils have been
more punctual and regular in attend
ance, obedient to authority, and decided
ly more industrious in their studies.
This year we have had a special teacher
in drawing and music.
These subjects are no longer considered
"fads" but are recognized as a necessary
part OF the child's education. The work
done in these subjects has been indeed
gratifying. In most of the grades it is
better than we had hoped to attain. Miss
Trigg is to be highly commended for the
earnestness and diligence with which
she has labored and the success accom-
plished in these departments. The
board has acted wisely in reappointing
her to the position.
The high school has been improved in
many respects during the year. We
feel especially proud of the continued
good attendance of both boys and girls
to the end of the year. Many have been
in the habit of dropping out Of school
before the end of the term. This year
there were only eight that did not oh
tinuc to the end of the term.
During the year ending june. 1893,
the Twenty-Five pupils enrolled in the
high school made 81 tardincsscs: in 1894.
with an enrolment of "a, the tardinessrs
were reduced to IL. This year with an
enrolment Of A.. there were only four
cases OF Hardness.
1t Is also trle that there has been a
like Improvement in the zeal with which
the students pursued their studies and
in the character and efficiency of the
work done.
The increased enrolment in all the
grades was l35. The increase in the
fifth and sixth grades was much greater
than had been anticipated, and after the
opening of the schools in September it
was found necessary to have more room
for these grades. The old school build
ing or Third avenue south was fitted up
by the board to relieve the crowded con
dltion Of these grades in the Whittier
and South side buildings, Mrs. Bena
Mitchell was added to the corps and
placed in charge of this room.
In concluding | desire to thank the
board for the uniform courtesy and the
assistance which | have received from
them during the year. Respectfully
submitted. ;. d, LARGENT.

San Francisco has Just had Il grand
jury that was not particularly i'm
pressed with the divinity that doth
hedge a Judge. In its report very caustic
and pointed criticisms are INDUCED in
on the conduct of the judges Of both
the supreme and superior courts and a
recommendation made that a radical
reform is needed in the administration
of justice and the personnel of the
courts and their attaches. This appears
to be a new departure for a grand jury,
yet it is clearly within the scope of it's
power. There is in the United States
no body Of men vested with so much
power as a grand jury. 1t is a law unto
itself, is responsible to no one and it's
acts are not subject to review by any
known authority. A grand jury can

A SCHEME,

Modesty ia one of the virtues Of the
people of Spokane; in this they have no
rival, with the possible exception of Hell
ena. A scheme is nov on foot to hold a
convention of mining me in that city
for the purpose of organizing a perma.
nent miners association. According to
the plan as outlined the mining men Of
Montana, Idaho, Oregon and British
Columbia are to be invited to attend. BY
some oversight Colorado appears to have
been omitted. In the Spokane lexicon
mining men" is a comprehensive term,
foa the originators of the project explain:
1--WE do NOT wish to summon a single
class OF mining men. VS. want all to come
Of gold and silver properties,
placer men, prospectors, miners, specu-
latols and brokers of mines.' 1t is kind
of Spokane to include all classes. 1t will
furnish the spectators and brokers and
the other states will furnish the min
ing men. if they conclude to attend.
That city and its citizens are to be con.
graduated as much for its enterprise as
for its modesty. There is nothing selfish
in the movement, they want to benefit a
class of men who are not able to take
care Of themselves. Had they felt other
wise they would have suggested Butte
as the meeting place,

of the building cannot be begun this
season. This is disappointing, for among
the several branches of the educational

mining school easily stands in the front
