Hoard for Secretary Of Agriculture.
So has the State Agricultural Society

farmers of New England is expressed
in the following words: 1.-The office
calls for man thoroughly identified
with the interests of agriculture, one
who has made this great industry a
study and recognizes its Importance in
its economic relations all the way from
the soil to the sale Of the surplus
abroad. Such a man is Governor

Indiana state Dairy AssocIafioh.
The meeting at Lebanon last week
was interesting and a good program
was presented. The attendance of
creamerymen was small, but goodly
number of the wide awake dairymen of
the state were there. Resolutions were
adopted endorsing Gov. Hoard for
Secretary of Agriculture. There are
localities in Indiana where the dairy
industry has developed largely, more
particularly along dairy lines. Some
of the dairy herds are among the best
in the country, the Jerseys being large
ly in the lead.

as Attorney-General Nolan did nobody
heard him express it. II was the at
torney- general who first discovered the
sweeping" character of the law and
gave the opinion that social card par
ties came under the ban. He announced
that he would issue instructions TO that
effect. If he did so, the mayor of Butte
and the sheriff of Silver Bow county
have shown that they prefer TO be
guided by the dictates of common sense
rather than by the attorney generals
somewhat forced conclusions.
Prizes at card parties have become
such feature of social life in Butte
that any other policy than that indi-
Gated by Mayor Harrington and Under
Sheriff Murphy would have robbed
such gatherings of much of their pleas
ure- a vote of thanks to both.
People generally will say the mayor
of Buste and the sheriff of Silver Bow
county have done right. The common
law has always been held TO be the
perfection Of reason, but statute law
in Montana. that is this particular
statute, as construed by the attorney
general, appears to be the perfection
of nonsense. If his construction is the
true one, then children wao sport upon
the lawn and lambs that gambol in the
grassy fields are liable TO arrest, fine
and Imprisonment.
MOntana's anti-gam5ling law is right
and proper and is backed up by tbs
public opinion of the state 1t should
be made neither odious nor ridiculous.

WEATHER PHILOSOPHY.

The weather is hot, none disputes
that fact But why complain of the
weather? Its keeping is not in mans
hands. nor will he be held accountable
for it in the judgment day. Stin peo-
pie viii complain of the weather when
if they would but reflect they must be
aware that their complaints are not
only futile, but foolish. 1t is even
worse than kicking against the pricks.
When the weather is good, when it de-
lights man and so attunes his whole
nature, then he praises it, patronizes it,
feels that in some measure the good
ness of the weather is owing TO him
self, and takes credit accordingly. And
when he does all this shall he not have
the right to complain when he and the
weather are at cross purposes? To
complain, and sometimes TO profane.
may cause a man TO think that he is
but invoking the law of compensation.
Did he get a satisfaction equal to his
annoyance and irritation out of it all,
then would his complaints have a rea-
son and justification; but he does not.
he only aggravates matters
AS was said above, the keeping of the
weather is not in mans hands, yet
most men think they must apologize
to visitors to their town or city for the
weather. Why should they? Do they
fear that the visitors will hold them
responsible for 1t, that they viii think
they were i'll treated because of dis
agreeable weather? Visitors have
weather TO contend with when at home
as we'll as when abroad.
The best weather philosophy we have
ever seen was a story that was told in
the old Salem Town readers that were
in use more than thirty years ago. 1t
told of q prince and his tutor and
little boy whose duty it was to watch
his fathers fiocks- One day the prince
and his tutor met the boy in the woods
and they asked him what kind of
weather it would be on the morrow.
And he replied: Just such weather
as suits me" And pray, what kind of
weather is that?" Just such weather
as suits God"

QUESTIONS FOR TEACHERS TO
ANSWER.

II is a trite saying that a fool can
ask more questions in a minute than a
wise man can answer in a life time.
Such were some of the questions re-
Gently propounded to applicants for
teachers certificates in Michigan. Here
are two or three of the questions:
Why did ABDUL Hamid delay accept
ance Of the proffered mediation OF the
9owers?"
In regard to Office seekers. what ad-
vantage has President Mckinley over
former presidents?''
Give the successive steps by which
a person may lawfully vfndicate his
rights and enumerate the tribunals
that may pass upon the case
If the person or persons who formu-
lated that question about Abdul Hamid
can answer it. he or they can do what
all the diplomats of Europe have not
been able TO. except those of the sui
tan's official household and those Of
the unknown power that is backing
Turkey. Why he delayed viii be a
question for future historians to answer
and not for would-be teachers.
What advantage has President Nc
Kinlev over former presidents in the
matter Of Office seekers? The throng of
office seekers that has infested Wash
ington since he was inaugurated goes
to show that he hasn't any in the way
Of being freed from the Importantly Of
the impecunious, while many think he
is at a great disadvantage by reason
Of the enlargement of the classified
service. Still. it would be interesting
TO know what advantage the Michigan
would-be teachers think he has in this
regard.
If these applicants for teachers GER
tificates can give the successive steps

bunals that may pass upon the case.

not at all improbable that If they could
do this they could tell how to suppress
the trust, how to control the CORPORA
tons, how to successfully solve the
problems that confront the people on
all hands.
These questions by the examining
board show that those who framed
them have no adequate idea of their
true magnitude or of the functions of
their Office.

BIMETALLIc COMMISSIONERS
SEE SALISBURY.

Messrs Wolcott, Stevenson and Paine,
members Of the bimetaIlic commission,
are in London and have begun their
attack upon the stronghold Of the gold
standard. Yesterday they held a con-
ference with Premier Salisbury, Sir
Michael Hicks Beach. chancellor of the
exchequer; Mr.. Arthur Balfour, first
lord of the treasury, and Lord George
Hamilton, secretary of state for In
dia. This conference was but prelim-
mary to further negotiations on the
subject OF International bimetailism.
The commissioners and Ambassador
Hay, it is said, did most of the talk
ing When asked what their powers
were, they stated they were authorized
TO make arrangements for the holding
of another International conference or
TO negotiate treaties for interna tional
bimetallism, which were to be submit
TED to their government for ratification
That the powers of the commissioners
are so extensive as this will be rather
a surprise to the people.
In preliminary conference it could
hardly be expected that those to whom
propositions are submitted, who for the
first time learn officially the object of
the mission OF the commission. should
have much of anything to say; they
must FIRST have information before they
can make any answer or say whether
they VIII proceed further or not. So
the comparative silence of Lord Sails
bury and his associates has no signif-
h. Z
and would give nothing less than a re-
spectful hearing to the United States
ambassador and special commission.
There is this satisfaction about this
first conference: The commissioners
have now undertaken to ascertain what
is the attitude of the English govern
ment towards the question of interna-
tional bimetallism. and whether it is
wiling to enter into another monetary
conference on the subject; and whether
it VIII abide by the decision of the
conference whatever 1t may be. All re-
alize that upon the decision of England
rests very largely. if not wholly, the
possibility of bringing about an inter
national agreement in BEHALF of bi-
metaliism. All the nations are wait
ing upon her decision. II it is favor
able. they viii probably all agree; but
if it is not what will they do? That
is question about which TO coniec-
ture after England's decision is known.
What her decision is Ambassador Hay
and the bimetallic commissioners viii
probably learn in a comparatively lit
tie while, for it is altogether unlikely
that Salisbury and his colleagues will
care to procrastinate or to be indie
cisive.
II the bimetallic commissioners shall
bring about International bimetallism
they will have conferred a blessing on
markind and they and the admins
traticn that sent them abroad will be
entitled 10 the thanks and gratitude of
the American people. But as yet they
have not accomplished this.
