We want above all to be Ameri-

and why should not Americans leg
isl..te for themselves? Whose
country is this any howe We
neither want European policies en-
grated into our laws nor European
conditions forced upon our people
and we will not have either the one
or the other. 1t is often said that
we want enough money to meet the
needs of business, but just now the
thing we need most is business it.
self, and the more business we dc
the more n oney we will have. We
know just what we want, for We
have had it before. We know
when we lost it and how we lost it
and knowing this we know just
how to get it back again. Here is
case where knowledge is power
and l have never known the people
quite so eager to vote with theil
new information and recent bust
ness experience to guide them
Rest assured, when at length they
do have an opportunity, they will
vote back into power that great

And that policy will come back tt

Insanity Cases.

Every day som ething new crops
up with reference to the codes
which is of great interest to the
public. An instance of this kind
occurred yesterday when Mrs. A.
M. Bowers, wife Of ]. S. Bowers, OF
1900 Boulder avenue, was examined
as to her sanity. The examination
proceeded under the old law, the
jury consisting of a physician aud
two laymen. Mrs Bowers was
found to be suffering from religiC ps
mania.
After the examination it was dis.
covered that the proceedings should
have been under the new law as
found under section 1900 of the
Political code. The provisions in
this section are designed to throw
all possible safeguards about per
sons accused of insanity The .old

the base of that doctrine is the AK
iom that water will seek it's lev
ell. Heretofore our democratic
friends have been very fond of
quoting this axiom. All things
must seek a medium. Probably
very few cf them have ever pur.
sued that chain of reasoning to its
logical consequences.
The high tide of American clvili-
zation and prosperity is asked to
equaliZe itself with the mud flats
of barbarity and pauperism; the re-
finements of our modern life, to de-
duct sufficient to bring the degra-
ded fetch worshiper to the same
level. They would have our labor
ing men throw their wages with
those of the ill paid, half savage
coolies and poems of the world, and
each take an equal share out of the
pot. All nations are to put their
prosperity, or poverty, into COM
mon heap and the well mixed mass
parceled out to each alike.
No country is to have more pros
perity, or more poverty, than any
other. You will share your pie
with your neighbor and he will
give you part of his crust in re-
turn. The splendid civilization Of
America must not only stop in its
progress, but actually 60 back
ward until it meets the lowest bar
barism OF the world half way. All
things are to be reduced to com.
mon level and the dead waters
stand at the same altitude over al
the face of the earth.
That is exactly what free trade
means, when carried to It's logica
conclusion. Nothing more, moth
ing less.
Democrats are shouting them
selves hoarse in the vain attemp
to convince US that "McKinleyism
is dead. They tell US that the tar
iff issue is among the things of th'
past; that.it will not be agitatet
any more. OF course, the wish i
father to the thought. But yo'
do not hear any republicans talkin;
that way. The people swept tn

DEMocRATIc papers are taking
much pains to tell the laboring man
how much cheaper everything is
nowadays and what bargains he can
have if he will only pitch in and
buy. And all this owing to the
Wilson Tariff bill. The thoughts
OF the workingmen when they read
such stuff can best be inferred by
the reply which one of them made
to man advancing a similar argu.
ment. Said this latter to labor
err: Jack, you had saved up some
money, why don't you go to worl
and put up home of your own
Why, man, you -never could built
as cheap as you can now, ever since

ONE OF the prominent attorneys
of Missoula volunteers his opinion
to the Silverite that fishermen
have the right to fish III any of our
public streams, Notwithstanding
notices against trespassing and
fishing. The streams of this state
are stocked with fish for the benefit
of the people of the state and not
private individuals, who own a
few acres of land and labor under
the delusion that they also own
the river running through their
land. In many parts of the state
signs are displayed warning fish
ermen not to trespass on the land
or fish in the stream, and these
warnings have been obeyed by
many simply because they were
ignorant of the law and did not
want to cause trouble. A fisher
man has the right to fish in any
public stream or river, and the
owner of the land cannot stop him.

MURDER AT SALMON MEADOWS.

On Wednesday OF last week the body
of Harry Stone was found lying in the
road in Salmon Meadows, dead, having
been shot from ambush while riding
along the road. The appearance Of the
body was such as to lead TO the belief
that he had been dead only few hours.
Suspicion was at once centered on
old man Curtis who is also Stones father
ln-law, as il is known that trouble had
existed between the men for some time.
A party at once visited the Curtis place
and young man who was there said
that Curtis had taken his rifie and
left the house at an early hour that
morning and had not yet returned.
Curtis has not yet been captured, but
it is reported that he was seen making
his way towards Salmon river. 1t APP
pears that the trouble originated two
years ago through Stones wife confess

The Banana Tree.
Ibers' Journal.

From Chambers Journal.
In the West Indies the dried leaves and
prepared portions Of the stem are used as
packing msterials. Fresh leaves are used
to shade young coffee or cacao seedlings IN
nursery beds and to cover cacao beans dur
ing fermentation. The young unopened
leaves are so smooth and soft that they
are used as dressing for blisters. In India
the dried stalk of the plantain leaf is used
as a rough kind of Irvine, and the larger
parts are made into small boxes for hold
ing snuff. drugs, etc.
In the Malay peninsula the ash of the
leaf and leaf stalk is used instead of soap
or fuller's earth in washing clothes, and a
solution of the ash is often used as salt i'll
cooking. In the Dutch Indies the skin of
the plantain is sed for blackening shoes.
The juice which flows from all cut parts
of the banana Is rich in tannin and of so
blackening a nature that 1t may be used as
an indelibe marking ink. In Java the
leaves of the wax banana" are covered on
the under side with a white powder. which
yields valuable wax clear, hard and whit
ish forming an important article of trade.
The ashes of the leaves, stem and fruit
rind are employed in Der gal in many dye
ing processes. In Siam a cigarette wrapper
is made from the leaves.
Fiber is got from the stems OF many
kinds of bananas. The most valuable is
the Manila hemp Of commerce, which
holds the chief place for making white
ropes and cordage. Old ropes made of 1t
form an excellent paper-making material,
much used In the United States for stout
packing papers. The Manila hemp indus
try is a large one. About 10000 tons of
fiber valued at f3,OOO,0OO, are annually ex-
ported from the Philippine Islands. The
Manila hemp plant is grown exclusively in
the southeastern part of the Philippines,
and all attempts to grow it elsewhere have
failed. Many articles are made from Ma
Mia hemp-mats, cords, hats, plated work,
lace handkerchief of the finest texture and
various qualities of paper. At Wohlau, in
Swift erland an industry has been started
7 for making lace and materials for ladies'
hats from 1t. By a simple process 1t is
made into straw exactly resembling the
finest wheat straw for plating

She contradicts him at the head of his
own table; interrupts his anecdote to set him
right on an utterly unimportant little detail
say, the date of a transaction, which he
makes the It'll of September and she asserts
was the Sth; she interferes in all his arrange
ments, and questions his authority in the
stables the fields, the church. the consulting
room: she apportions his food and regulates
the amount of wine he may take; should she
dislike the smell of tobacco she Will not
allow him the most transient Whit of the
most refined cigarette. and she teaches the
children to despise their father by the frank
contempt with which she treats him, and the
way E which she floutS his opinion and de-
ries his authority. If she be more Affection
ate than aggressive she renders him rtdicu-
lous by her effusiveness. Like the Sammy
love- which reused Dean Affords reproba-
ton she loads him with silly epithetS of
Ell dearment before felix. Expresses him with
personal attentions and treAtS him general
ly as sick child next door to an idiot.
All out of love and its unreasoning tyran-
ny, she takes him into custody-in public
as in private Efe-and allows him no kind of
freedom. Robust and vigorous as he is, she
worries over his health as though he were
confirmed invalid in the heyday of his ma
turity coddling him as If he were an octo-
genarian bordering on second childhood. She
ccl tinually uses the expression, Il shall not
allow my husband to do SO and so;' or, Il
will make my husband do this and that"
Never by any chance does she confess her
right to free action. bound he is in the
chains of her tyrannous affection. In the
END sic makes him what she has so long
fancied himself to he. backboneless valetU-
dinarian, whom the sun scorches to fever

A DANGEROUS IDEA

To imagine that pills can strike at
the root of these diseases. 1t has
been thoroughly proved that such
remedies are worse than useless.
There is only one remedy which can
always be depended upon. This
remedy alone can act on the liver
and kidneys when they are out of
order, clear out the system and build
up the health: The, name of this
remedy is Warmers Safe Cure 1t is
the only standard remedy in the
world for kidney and liver COM
plants. 1t is the only remedy which
physicians universally prescribe. It
is the only remedy that is backed by
the testimony of thousands whom it
has relieved and cured.
There is nothing else that can take
its place. --- ..-,.
