Mining IN Montana.

Travelling correspondent George II.
Scott. for the Rocky Mountain Husband

Sulphur Springs. Mont, was interviewed
last night by a Times reporter. ana he
tells Of mining, agriculture, horticulture,
and stock-raisiIg IN the new West.
flo said. THE election was diSap-

Several DAYS ago n Richmond newspa-
ner printed a number of letters from the
Hon. William ]. Bryan and other free sill
yer advocates in which each writer eN-
nounded the doctrines Of Democracy.
Among these was n letter from the Hon.
Fred. Williams. Of Massachusetts, III
which that gentleman said:
81 have this week returned from
vacation of three weeks following the
campaign. ana my absence will explain
nv failure to answer your favor OF the
nth ultimo. asking me to give you an
answer to the questions. What consul
tutes Democracy and why am Demo
craft
"Of course II is too late now for ne 10
answer these questions. but ! could DO II
very easily by saying that the policy laid
down i'm the Chicago platform of lN9G con-
stitutcs Democracy; and 1 am Democrat
because | approve every article or ina.
platform. and am firm i'm the faith that
il contains the seeds Of the political con-
tests of the next decade. Even when the
free coinage of silver had been realized.
we must fight for the rest Of that plat
form 10 protect our liberties and suppress
the corrupting tendencies OF our civiliza-
ton"
1t is interesting in this connection 10
note the fact that I'm May. 1892. the Hon.
George Fred. delivered an address
in Richmond. in which he said that
the Hon. John S Barbour ana the Hon.
John W. Daniel. OF Virginia. were OPP
posed to Mr. Clcvoland's nomination be-
cause they could not control the offices.
The friends of Mesirs. Barbour AID
Daniel were highly indignant n this
charge. and Major Daniel in reply said.
that the remarks OF Mr.. Williams as APP
piled to himself. were UNANIMOUSLY false
and such as no truthful or decent man
could utter or endure"
But that is not all. one Of our esteemed
Richmond contemporaries IN commenting
on Mr.. Williams attack, referred to him
in this language: Mr.. Williams. the rene
gade Republican and one OF the two
who boltcd from the Democratic caucus.
which dominated Mr.. Crisp; the man who
has no sympathy with Virginia or Vr-
ginans."
Is it not passing strange that man
who in 1872 was renegade Republican"
and man without sympa Thy with Nir-
ginia or Nirginians," should have been
selected by Richmond newspapers TO ex-
pound the principles of Democracy?
Mr.. Williams says in his card: Il am =
Democrat, because l approve every ar
ticle In the Chicago platform. By the
same token we infer that before Mr.. VII
liams became renegade he was a Re-
publican. because he approved every
plank in the Republican platform. We
confess that we are 10th to take our De-
mocracy from a man with the record OF
the Hon. George Fred Williams.

Wright Will be hanged al II o'clock on
New Years-Ddy IN the OH Jail yard,
where many men have been swung INTO

was taken to-day from his upper tier
cell TO cell number II on the ground floor
which is known as the doomed man %

the last man hung In Delaware. was led
TO execution by Sheriff Simmons In 1891.
\ guard OF Wardens Will stand watch
over the doomed man until the trap falls.
Wright remains stOlid ana totally M
different TO his approaching fate, and his
spiritual adviser Rev. Samuel Ambrose
is very much discouraged 10y reason OF
the mans attitude. Wright stu declares
he wants TO die. that hc knew he would
have to die when he killed his sweet
heart and that he nred the bullet with
the knowledge that he would atone FOR
her death on the gallOWs. He declares
that he did not ask Tor any spiritual adj

visits Of DR. Ambrose. During the past
week the latter has visited him every

THE CRY OF THE HORSE LEIGH.

The public had been led to believe that
the Committee on Ways and Means.
whose duty it is to prepare new tariff
bill. would exert its efforts primarily and
principally towards the important work
of increasing the revenue of government
But it would appear from the proceedings
before the members of the committee
during the past several days, that the
primary object is to give to certain in
dividuals sO-called protection that they
may increase their profits. There have
been several business men before this
committee TO enlighten the members
thereof on the subject in hand, but not
one of them has addressed himself to the
revenues of government The burden o.
their song has been protection for us
something gwen by the government 10
help us increase our profits.
There Is the whole protection theory IN
a nutshell. II is an object lession which
the people may study TO their profit. We
believe, and IT cannot be successfully de-
MED. that the object of taxation is TO
raise revenue, and that is its only object.
The government has no right to levy
tax for the purpose Of helping indivi-
duals 10 make money or in restraint of
business Therefore. we are opposed 20
protection and TO the prohibitory tax on
State banks of issue We believe in
tariff for revenue only with such inciden-
tai protection TO American labor and
American industries as the imposition Of
such a tariff tax may give But when We
are told that the tax is levied not for
the purpose of raising revenue. but for
the purpose of assisting individuals. as IN
