another Of his mastery retreats.
The expedition got the name of the
demonstrating campaign" and, as
Stanton had overruled all objections
and obliged Banks to undertake 1t,
suspicion attached itself to him. 1t
is Dana's "reminiscences that show how
unjustly.
The war produced a cotton famine,
not only among our own manufactur-
ers, but in England, and there it was
one of the chief indictments to and
strength of the movement to recog-
nize the independence of the Confed-
eracy. In the North the dearth of cot
ton stopped mills and sent the price
of cottons soaring among silk goods
prices Stanton, looking farther afield
than we in the ranks could, favored
getting out and into market the larg-
est possible quantity of the cotton
contained in the Confederacy. 1t would
hush clamors at home and quiet them
abroad, check the recognition move
ment in England and relieve cotton
users from the oppressive prices the
fabric had climbed to. 1t is little Won
der that Stanton let the larger object
oyershadow the lesser one and CHANGED
the possible decentralization for the
sake of the larger good. 1t remains
possible that the Red river campaign
was for the benefit of the powerful
syndicate which benefited from it and,
had it not been for Porter would have
reaped a larger harvest; and it is prob
able that Kirby Smith was in some
way a party to the deal, but Dana
makes clear why Stanton should have
directed it from motives of public pol
icy alone, sharing none of the profits.
Those who had doubts in 1864 will be
glad to have Mr.. Dana remove them
even now when the war secretary has
slept so long with his fathers.

SENATOR CLARK INTERVIEWED.
Views Of the Wyomsng Senator on the busi-
ness Situation and Outlook for Inter-
national Bimetalllsm.

Senator Clark of Wyoming was In
Butte recently and the Standard re-
ports the following interview:
MY trip up here is one absolutely
of pleasure" he said, "unassociated
with either business or politics. ]
never had any business and very lit
tie politics"
In answer to a question as to
affairs in Wyoming the senator said
that there was nothing new politi-
cally, but that the cattle and sheep
men were feeling pretty good over
preseDt conditions and werefervently
praying the Almighty that the con-
ditions will last.
Last year everybody in Wyoming
was trying to make a living and
now they are trying to make money"
He said, 1.-The situation in our state
differs from that of other Western
states. There are no mining inter-
ests except coal, and very little agri-
culture. The coal mines are work
ing fuller number of men than they
have in many years, and SO are the
railroads, and the men employed in
the mines and on the roads are feel
very good over it. There are very
few idle men in Wyoming, because
when they get out of employment
they must move, as there is nothing
there to support any army of unem-
ployed. Forinstance, in the southern
part of the the state everything de
pends ON the railroads and Goa
mines at Rock Springs, which ID
about the only town of Importance
there. When your people up herr
buy a great deal of coal. times in
Southern Wyoming are good"
On the subject of national politics
and the silver question. Senator
Clark spoke in Endorsement of tn
Mckinley ADMINISTRATION.

settlement of the silver problem.
The only hope Bee for 1t is through
an International agreement 1t is
either that or nothing"
Relative to the Cuban question the
senator said he could not help but
think that President Mckinley
would yet carry out the ideas ex-
pressed in the ST. Louis platform.
"There are a great many Republi-
can members of congress, both in the
house and senate who believe that
matters In Cuba have gone far
enough and that a stop should be
put to the whole business" said the
senator. 1.-The United States ought
to take the same position now that
it took long ago. 1t should take a
vigorous stand and put a stop to

Prices since the shipping season
opened have been better than were
Expected, although in the last week
the market has SO declined that the
ordinary stock sells for little, better
than last years prices. Feeders hold
aloof. thinking that the market will
go lower and nsiaughtererso claim
that the westerns, which appear to
be the best, do not kill satisfactorily.
Receipts will be light for a few days
however, and as the N arket is in
fluenced to an'unususl degree by the

very few were westerns. The mar

L. w. Stacy of Miles City has sold

At Billings there have been a number
Of buyers for feeders; at Grand Island

Chicago, feeder speculators have been
buying by the train load. and at
Chicago there has been a ready mar
ket.
1t has been found that the change
In freight rates from dollars per car
to cents per cwt. has resulted in an
increase in charges of about 81 per
head on cattle. Loading IL closer

however, and consequently the In

The hfgb-wdter mark OF "dOllar
wheat" has at last been reached at
several markets and the general ex-
pectation is that II will go higher.
A temporary slump may occur, hut
that would not be of any Importance.
There are two specially noticeable
features about this wheat situation.
First, it is natural. not speculative.
Second, 1t occurred at time of the
year when the rise would very largely
inure to the benefit Of the producer.
at least to the country In distinction
from the city.
A purely speculative advance is
not of much benefit, and may do
more harm than good For exam
pie, in September. 1883, the Hutch"
corner ran wheat up to 81. The
market was in such condition that
those who had sold what they had
not got were at the mercy of those
who had bought what they did not
want. 1t was all wind" wheat.
A few holders in country elevators,
and a few farmers coming to town
with a load of real wheat reaped a
light harvest from the squeeze, but
that was only few drops of q
sprinkle on the parched earth.
Wheat has gone up above the dol
lar mark a good many times with
out justifying any especial congratu-
lation. 1t was simply the throw OF
the dice in a game OF luck. But now
nature, not the pit of the specula-
tors, has brought it up. The up
grade was not the toss of the bulls
horn, but q movement due to causes
as broad as the wheat fields of the
world. Scarcity everywhere except
In the United States is reason enough
for a rise.
1t is now twenty years since whea,

not a dangerous phenomenon, but
rather a safety valve. 1t must not

WHY LETTERS GO ASTRAN.
An Uncommon Arrangement OF the
Address May Cause a Delay.

Boston Transcript
1t is a wrong impression that to write
the destination before the name in ad-
dressing mail matter makes the address
palmer and helps the clerks in assort-
ing the mail This is sometimes done,
and instead of facilitating ii upsets the
work. At any rate. the letter thus adj
dressed is likely to be put aside. and once
il is out of the current the delay may be
a long one.
In the first assortment, the clerks ma
turally look at the last part OF the adj
dress for the state or country to which
the mail is going. and throw it into sep
arate pouches for various routes or
states or cities. Instead of stopping in
the middle of a rush To correct little err
rors the clerks lay such matter aside and
go on with the work by getting as much
as possible of the mall on hand off on the
first dispatcn. To place stamps properly
is also important where canceling ma
chimes are used. BY an unnatural ar
rangement of an address letter Is, in
the first place, likely to be missent.
When a letter arrives in a city among
the city mail, the street and number
are looked for and little notice is taken
of the name Of the address or of the
state.
Generally the street, and perhaps the
number also can be found, even II the
letter should have gone to another part
of the country, and the mistake Is not
discovered until the letter carrier has
tried TO deliver the letter. Even then the
real mistake is not discovered, for the
letter is turned over to the directory
searchers. who, OF course. pay no at
tention to the address. If they do not
find the name in the directory, they mark
the letter accordingly and send IT to the
general delivery division, where is 1t
kept until the expira lion of thirty days
after its arrival In the postoffice. When
the thirty days are up and the letter still
remains in the Office IL must be returned
TO the sender. If the sender's address is
given.
This was the course Of letter that was
returned TO western state from the
Boston office the other day. 1t had gone
through all the formalities given, In the
pursuit OF the addressee and at the end
of the legal term for holding the letter
II was discovered that II was directed TO
brother state. The address was typew-h-
ten and plain. but since the letter had
been stared on the wrong course IL had
10 follow the trail to the end. Some pos
tai employees advocate writing the name
of the county also upon the letters TO In
sure tn I'm against the probability OF GO
Ing astray. The fact that there are as
many as twenty places of the same name
is given as a good reason for this addition
TO an address.
