The Canadian Government Fears What
Does Not Exist.
OTTAWA, April 4.-The government has
notified all quarantine officers to exercise
the greatest possible vigilance in examin-
ing and quarantining all cattle from
southwestern portions of the United
States. This action is taken on informa-
ton received by the department of agri-
culture from Pueblo, Col, that pleuro-
pneumonia exists in western states.
WASHINGTON, April 4.--Oficials of the
bureau of animal industry'do not regard
the action of the Canadian governments
in directing quarantine officers to be par
ticularly strict In their inspection of cattle
from the southwestern states as being
particularly important. Practically no
American cattle are sent into Canada be-
cause the restrictions already enforced
are practically prohibitive. Nevertheless
the frequent reports of the charac-
ter upon which the Canadian government
bases its action are annoying to the de-
partment because they are unjust to the
cattle interests of the United States and
tend to injure the business with other
countries. Officers of the bureau have
been called upon frequently OF late to re-
iterate the assertion that there has been
no proof of the existence of a case Of
pleuro-pneumonia in this country for
more than two years.

He Shot the Sheepherder Who, 1t Is
said, Sat In His wife's Lap.
DENVER. April A special from Chey-
enne, Wyo., gives additional details of
the murder of William Milne, at Casper,
Wyo., by Senator j. j. Hurt. 1t is alleged
that about year ago Hurts son, aged 10
years, went home one evening unexpect-
eddy and found Milne sitting on his
mothers lap. Hurt was absent from homo
at the time. and the son wrote his father
of the occurrence. Senator Hurt did not
return to Casper until recently. being de-
tanned in the East on account of serious
illness. Since coming home he has
stopped at hotel and refused to see his
wife, although he had frequent interviews
with his young son.
The shooting was the outgrowth OF the
affair." Citizens of Casper, who are inti-
mately acquainted with the family. be-
lieve that Mrs. Hurt has been wrong
fully accused. Senator Hurt Is widely
known throughout the state on account OF
his large interests in the wool industry
and his eccentric ideas in reference to free
trade. He was prominently mentioned as
| q candidate for governor on the demo
cratic ticket four years ago. He is re-
puted to be one of the wealthiest men in
| Central Wyoming. Milne, the murdered
man, was a sheepherder and had been in
Mr.. Hurts employ for many years.

The Income Tax Case.

According to some of the Washing
ton correspondents, gentlemen who
always know everything in advance,
the supreme court is very much di-
vided on the income tax case, but
majority of the justices are in favor of
declaring the law null and void. Other
Washington correspondents hedge a
little by saying that some portion OF
the law may be declared void, while
other portions may be upheld as the
question is so placed before the SUI
preme court that it is not necessary
for it to declare the law either con-
stitutional or void in toto. In case
the tax shall be declared unconstitu-
tional it would be difficult to predict
the outcome of events that would be
likely to follow. An extra session of
congress might be necessary and
probably would be called by the presi-
dent, as the q uestion of revenue is
daily becoming more important.
1t is admitted that without the rev.
enue to be derived from the income
tax the present construction of the
tariff law and the duties under it are
not sufficient to support the govern
ment, and when the bill was framed it
was not intended that they should be.
| The income tax rounded out the CON-
plicated tariff structure, and with ii
eliminated deficiency of $4,000, 00C
or S30,000,000 a year would be inevita-
BILE. The policy of the government
and the expressed will of congress are
against issuing United States bonds to
meet permanent running expenses, so
that it seems hardly probable that an
extra session could be avoided. There
is general acquiescence on all sides
not to reopen the tariff question by re
arranging schedules, and thus disturb
ing business again before the present
rates are fairly tried; so that this
method also is not likely to be adopted
lts meet the deficiency. An increase
Of the tax on beer from one dollar tc

tax of two cents on bank checks, al
advocated at the time the present
tariff law was passed would, it il
thought, receive more support thar
any other proposition.

When silver rises now it may fall
back trife the next day, but it holds
every gain it makes fairly well. 1t
doesn't slump down to sixty cents
again as IL it had no life or strength
at ALL Silver is rising partly on &C
count of the expectation that the Chi
nese will have to pay large indem-
nifty to japan and has nothing but
silver to pay it in, partly because the
termination of the war will cause a
revival of trade in the East and with
it large commercial demand for sill
yer, and partly because of the improv-
ing prospects of a restoration of silver
to its former place as a money metal
in this country and in Europe. The
Cleveland Plain Dealer is unkind
enough to insist that McKinley's de-
clared opposition to silver has nothing
whatever to do with its RISE

And now it is Wisconsin to turn the
cold shoulder to the ladies. \ woman's
suffrage bill came up in the Wiscon-
sin senate a few days ago and the la
dies turned out in large numbers and
their most attractive gowns For
their part the senators spruced up for
the occasion, too. 1t is said that one
grave and reverend looking senator
put on a white crayat, slicked his
locks and made himself look like a
preacher in good standing instead of
mere legislator. A bachelor senator
spruced himself up and put flower
in his buttonhole and during the pro-
ceedings kept a sharp lookout for pos
sible candidates for matrimony as well
as votes among the fair visitors Two

There are but three more days be-
fore the people of Butte will gather at
the polls and choose a new admins
tration. These should be days of in
telligent, fair-minded discussion. If
there are any good reasons why the
city government should be turned over
to the Apas, the first principle of
whose order is that a certain class of
good citizens and taxpayers shall be
excluded from all voice and participa-
tion in the management of the clty's
affairs, let such reasons be advanced.

The Citizens Candidates.

Party supremacy is matter OF in
ferior Importance at the election to
be held next Monday in Butte. As a
rule it does not ever weigh very heav-
lily in the minds of intelligent, broad
minded electors when they go to the
polls to vote for municipal officers.
Professional politicians, of course, are
always deeply interested in the success
of the party to which they belong, resort
ing ospecious arguments in an attempt
to prove the necessity of electing even
a party poundmaster. But the great
majority of the people recognize the
folly of all that, and admit that in the
the election of a city government, no
national issues possibly being at stake,
the considerations that should prop
erly govern are the personnel of the re-
spective candidates and the local is
sues that they represent. In Butte

The people of Anaconda don't want
any hide bound partisanship in the city

is business administration with man

the same caution and the same rare
good judgment that successful bust
ness man employs In running his own
establishment. Such an administra-
ton is guaranteed by the reelection OF
Mayor Thornton.
