The Great Falls Tribune, comment
ing on Senator Nantes speech on
the wool schedule, says:
Now. when their interests are i'm
periled in the senate, Mr.. Mantle Is
the only senator who comes to the
front as their champion. Truly, he
is heaping Goals of fire on the heads
of the wool men. The time will
speedily come when the wool men
will learn that their friends are not
i'm the Republican party az at present
constituted. Free silver Ia far better
than a protective tariff to the wool
man and he is rapidly coming to
realize the truth of this proposition.
All Of which is the variest rot. Mr..
Mantle is simply doing his duty to a
large constituency. Wool growers
are under no more obligations to Mr..
Mantle than he Is to them. They
have seen enough OF Democratic
friendship in the past four years and
no silver-washed f1attery goes with
them. Senator Carter and Others
have been as active as Mr.. Mantle
in looking after the interests of wool
as will be seen elsewhere in
our columns. The Tribune editor
cannot hoodwink wool growers with
its silver sop. They ore an intelli-
gent class of men and nine out of ten
of them take no stock In Democratic
policies or promises.

The Wool Schedule.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Helena Herald last week
regarding the wool schedule, is quite
encouraging. 1t was to the effect
that arrangements have been COM
pleted whereby the duty on wool of
nine cents per pound with one cent
additionalfor skirted wool, on second
class ten cents, and on all woods OF
the third class not exceeding in value
nine cents per pound fl v cents These
rates will be fixed by the co-opera-
ton OF the Republican senators, who
will be reinforced by Senator Jones
of Nevada, and Senator Kyle of South
Dakota.
1t is to be hoped that these amend
ments will be made to the bill. We
believe they would he acceptable to
wool growers, particularly those of
the west, whose product comes in
competition with imported wool of
the second class. Ten cents n pound
on this class ought to furnish ample
protection.
The raise to five cents on third
class woods of value not exceeding
nine cents per pound, is an improve
ment. Though classed Is carpet
wool large quantities are shipped to
this country and made into cheap
clothing, thus coming into compe-
tition with much of the wool of this
region.
The dispatch intimates that while
Senator Carter and the other Nc
Kinley Republicans from the western
states have been diligently at work
securing these changes, the silver Re.
publicans have been acting in bad
faith in their demand for higher rates.
Indeed, it openly charges that the
latter are working for a political
purpose, and that their real object is
not to promote the interests of the
wool growers, but to disappoint
them and thus ALLEVIATE them from
the Republican party.
We sincerely trust that Senator
hldiitic ib hot dCtudtCu ny oly suCu
motives, but it is not improbable
that there are those in Washington
who are governed only by personal
and political advantage. They are
simply politicians OF a low order who
would rejoice in arousing a feeling
among wool growers against the
Republican party. In such a meas-
ure as this there are sure to be con-
ficting interests, and a disposition to
compromise on a fair basis is all that
can be expected.
Even the slightest protection is
better than free wool, but wool
growers will be treated fairly, and
while there will be some advance in
price this season the full benefit of
| the protection given the industry
cannot be felt inside Of another year,
owing to the heavy importations of
wool.
The cheap demagogues should be
excused for making all the capital
they ian now for 1T will be their last
opportunity in the next quarter of a
century.

Crete and Cube Compared.

The plain truth is that Turkish ad-
ministratiOn in Crete has been adj
mirable, when compared with Span
ish administration in Cuba. Further
than that, the program Of hOme-rule
and reform for Crete that the great
powers agreed upon last fall,-and
that they still intend to put into
g~enuineness as far beyond the Span
ish reforms proposed for Cuba as
could well be imagined. The Chris
tians in Crete today are in Paradise
when compared with tine Cubans in
Cuba. determination il not nearly
SO imminent for the Armenians under
the policy of the Turkish pashas, as
it is for the Cubans under the meth
DDS of Weyler. There is dignity and
strength of personal character in
Osman, Edhem, and other of the
Turkish military leaders. Their
bravery entities them to respect.
For example, few incidents of the
present season have been better
worth recording than the n i'm
which Hafiz Pasha met his death.
This brave old Turkish general was
eighty years of age when he led his
men in the hard fighting that lasted
Tor -four or five days i'm the Malouna

twice wounded to dismOunt from
his horse, or to retire from the range

One must apologize for mentioning
the name of the low-bred scOundrel

Mohammedan fighters as Hafiz.

trying to conquer the island by ruin

titled to view them with distress and
Indignation, quite as all honest and
decent people view them i'm England
and France. And perhaps even our
government has some small degrees
of responsibility in that far away
part of the world. But the prime
responsibility lies at the door OF
Europe. The situation i'm Cuba,
however, appeals directly to us.
England has no responsibility there;
and enlightened Europeans, whether
OF not they express themselves pub
licly, will have scant respect for us

Senator Carter Interviewed.

Our Washington correspondent
interviewed Senator Carter last week
upon the tariff, the wise adjustment
of which means SO much to the
country. Mr.. Carter said he had
given his constant and careful atten-
ton to the tariff on wool, lead and
hides. The duty On hides will be
secured. but not to the extent nOr *
actly In the form desired, but rs hides
have been on h free list for over
twenty years it will be a distinct
gain. Speaking of the obstacles In
connection with h wool schedule
the senator said; my own view has
been to get rid of the ad valOrem
duty entirely and to secure specific
duties on all grades of wool, the
duties to be SO reasonable, just and
defensible as to necessarily be per-
manent. We want adequate pro-
lection on a permanent basis and
duties imposed in such as to
avoid fraud through under-valua-
tons. This end has been practically
agreed upon"
After giving the rates fixed upon
as stated in another column, Mr..
Carter says: 1.-The arrangement for
these rates will be agreed upon before
the schedules are reached in the SEN
ate, consequently needless speech
making and resulting loss of time
will be avoided. The general under
standing amongst the friends of the
bill is that speech-making will be left
to those who oppose the bill or desire
to delay its passage. We want a
ton rather than words AT this time.
Every hour we delay the passage OF
the bill permits the landing of an
additional ship load of wool to de-
press the home market which we are
striving to secure with the least pos
sible delay for our OWL wool grow
ers."
Asked as to his opinion regarding
the prospects for silver, the Senator
replied:
'"The future of silver ia brighter
to-day than at any time in recent
years. This morning the papers adj
wise us of the public declaration OF
NJ. Meline, the French minister oI
finance, made in the presence Of our
delegates i'm favor of cordial and
prompt cooperation by France with
with the United States to re-establish
bimetallism. Private information,
which l do not feel at liberty to make
public, at this time, persuades me
that h Mckinley administration IL
working earnestly to solve the silver
coinage problem and with many en-
~couraging signs of ultimate success
Montana interests will surely fart
better under this administration thar
many citizens suspect. The future o
our state is not doubtful; it will bt
progressive and prosperous"

S. l.. Bennett, who went east three
weeks ago, has taken unto himself n
wife, the Meadville Gazette of craw-

event as follows: "On Wednesday,
by Rev. Ken C. Hayes, ID. D., at the
First Presbyterian parsonage, Sidney
l.. Bennett late of Lewistown, Mon
tana, and Mrs. Amanda Humes, of
Woodcock. There il something Il
little out of the ordinary in this mar
riage, and the circumstances are as
follows: Mr.. Bennett some twelve
years ago was n resident of this city
and has considerable acquaintance
through this part of the county. He
married Florence, daughter of John
IScheafnOcker, and with his wife went
to Montana to i've and has been
there eleven years. A little over a
year ago his wife died leaving Mr.
Bennett with three children, two
girls and a boy. About the same
time, or a little later, Mrs. Humes,
of Woodcock, was left n widow.
The Bennett family were subscribers
to the Meadville Gazette and Mr..
Bennett was led by the esteem and
sympathy expressed for Mrs. Humes
by her neighbours, as made known in
the Gazette, to think a good deal
about the lady. He after consider
able time wrote her a letter. 1t was
answered and a correspondence be-
gun. This ended by Mr.. Bennett
coming east and he was met for the
first time last Saturday, at Venango-
boro, by Mrs. Humes. Personal
acquaintance proving as agreeable
as the correspondence, the marriage
took place, as above stated, on
Wednesday,"
