Some Remarks by Tom Watson.

"Stand to your colors. Be Populist as Won
have bravey been since the terrible days OF
1901. Don't drag your creed into the mire
Don't become Republican to spite the Demo
Gratis. You'll hurt nobody but yourself by
such a mistake. You are no Republican, You
oppose their principles and their class laws.
You know that the Republican party lee'Satfs
for the money power of the East and North
against the people of the West and South
If the Peoples party must die (Which God
forbd), what would you look like III the Re-
publican party?
WHAT does it advocate that You approve!
When has it been the friend of the South
What can you hope that it will do for the mass
es?
Let us re-organize Populism and meet the
enemy once more! Don't give up the ship!
TIE stars in their courses honor the brave,
and nowhere under the sun is the time server
respected.
During the whole of the last campaign Tan
the cup drank was quite as bitter as yoars)
we were accused of being Hannacrats because
we fought fusion and kept the middle of-the-
road.
Don't give ammunition to our enemies which
they can use on your friends, by turning Re-
publican.
Let the Republicans have the Offices Join
them if you indorse their principles. But II
you are a Populst in creed, stand to our guns
like man and share the fate, whatever 1t may
be- of the loyal comrades who trusted you, low
ed you and fought beside you"

Speaking of the Voices comment on Chester
l. Longs taking the job of scaling down the
debt of The city of Medicine Lodge, the Index
says In the language of the Republican rg III
here, our citizens are dead against ''repnd a'ion'
bu, they can't pay the debt and tl,'y want to
compromise honorably." These Mex n.ty
times are knocking lots of persimmons or he
Populi>ti just now, and as the Voice we'll says
Chester l. Long is going in to scale down the
indeb edness of this city. If Populi>t meas
ures had been put in force seven yeal ago, we
could pay our debts, and nobody would be
asking for compromise. So, after all, Nc

"When I returned cast after ny

"When I returned cast after nv
last summers trip, I was detailed
especially in New York, SO that
might make a study Of the manufac-
turc Of bicycles and bicycle sundrics.
[ visited all the leading factories and
six Of them have built wheels spec
tally for this trip. They arc built
according to my own plans and spcci-
tications. Remembering my expert
Fence with tires last summer. l have
paid particular attention to them, in
the construction of these wheels.
|Thc tires, six different kinds-;,rc all
supposed to be -puncturable.
They are very heavy: when f1attcned
together they are as thick as mans
wrist. The heaviest Of them weighs
eight pounds, thus greatly increasing
the weight Of the wheels, which
average about thirty pounds. The
rims of the wheels are Of the finest
steel, and the side forks are extra
heavy. a feature Of the wheels
which is the result Of my experienced c
last summer, is the fact that they
have forty tandem spokcs. l found
that in ordinary bicycles the front
wheels sprung and wabblcd for lack
Of support. The forty tandem
spolcs fix that all right.
II have succeeded also in reducing
the weight each man has to carry,
but I have left out nothing that is
necessary. Each man will have arms,
ammunition, tent, and cycle sundrics
Tor repairs, We will carry little IA
tions, as we will arrange to be
yictualcd at army posts We pass
through and intermediate points.
The chief test will come, however,
on the tires. The bicycle core Of the
future will have more to fear from
the cncmy's tac1s than fSon his bull
lets, unless a practically non-punct.
urablc tire can be made. I think
those VIC will use this summer will
stand that test.
"Cur corps this summer will be ac=
companied by a surgeon. We had
some trouble on account Of sickness
among the men last year and [ want
to guard against it this year.
II haven't the slightest idea how
long the trip from Fort Missoula tC
st. Louis will take. by far the hard
est part OF it will be while crossing
the mountains though sandy plains
are disagrccable as we'll. -.
II have absolute faith in the sue
cess or the undertaking and in the
ultimate adoption Of the bicycle as a
regular adjunct to the army.
"Ou the result of this trip" con.
tinucd the lieutenant, with pardon
able show OF pride, "largely depends
the future use Of the bicycle in the
army. I believe it will succeed"

FOUGHT UNDER GEN. SCOTT.
G. Gilmcr Of Madison Valley, Who is a
Mexican War Veteran.

Mexican War Veteran.
Mr.. C. GiImcr, Of Ennis, was a
Virginia visitor Tuesday. Mr.. Gil
mcr helped to make history, half a
century ago, when he fought under
General Winfield Scott in the Mex
lean war. He served in Company d,
First Missouri volunteers, under Col
Donovan, the captain Of the COM
pany being J. w. Reed. The com
pany was organized at Saline county,
Mo, almost at the first call for vol
untccrs and saw much service in the
brief but cycntfuf campaign of the
conquest OF Mexico. For distin-
guishcd services Mr.. Gllmcr was de-
coratcd with a medal, on which is
engraved the names Of the principal
battles in which he participated: and
names Of Baton, Scott, Perry and
Taylor, the fighting generals under
whom he served. We doubt very
much if there are more than one Or
two of the veterans Of the Mexican
war besides Mr.. Gi]ncr, in Montana.
Capt.. ]. G. Shepherd of Ruttc: who
died about year ago. claimed to be
Il veteran, but his record was not
clear and those who claimed to know.
assert that there was no record Of
his service.
Mr.. Gilmcr crossed the plains with
a detachment Of his regiment in
1916, and participated in the battle
of Sacramento river. which was then
the southern boundary Of the United
States IIc arrived in Montana in
1880, and settled in the Madison
Valley with his family where he has
since resided. lie is one of the very
few living Of those who made his
tory, and by their deeds of valor and
courage, made possible the acquisi-
tion by the United States of most
valuable tract Of territory, and to
listen to his narration Of the stirring
events in which he participated is
very Observation-Disclosures.

|
State Officers Ohio arc Active in The
| Practice Of Their Professions.
Communication in Helena Tlcrald
Montana has populist governor
and superintendent OF public in
struction> and 4 democratic attorney
general.
These gentlemen arc al! attorneys
at-law.
The state pays the governor a sal
AIRY of $1,000 a year, the attorney
general $4,000 and tho superintcnd-
cnt Of public instruction $1,000. It
pays them these respective salaries
in consideration of their dcyoting
| their time and talents to the duties
of their respective Offices. The state
docs not pay these liberal salaries to
these gentlemen as lawyers but as
public officers tt does not salary
| them as attorneys, but as public
servants whose duty 1T is to attend
to the business Of the state. Their
time belongs to the state, not to
themselves. 1t is paid for, and we'll
paid by the people Of Montana, and
the people Of Montana arc cnti tied
to it.
And yet, scarcely a day passes that
one or more Of these gentlemen is
not engaged in practicing law in
some Of our courts in behalf of priv
ate clients. There is scarcely an is
sue Of a morning or evening news
paper that docs not contain some
mention Of the governor Of the state,
Or the attorney general Or the super
intend Of public instruction appear
ing in the United States courts, or
the supreme Or district courts Of the
state, or even the justice courts, in
the prosecution or defense Of some
private lawsuit.
In these proceedings the state has
no interest. the people Of the state
arc not concerned. Eut the time Of
the state is taken up. Private fees
arc paid to men holding public posi-
tions for private services occupying
time already bought and paid for by
the state.
Monday the governor Of the state
appeared in the United States court
as attorney for some defendant
charged with crime. Tile supcrin-
tcndcnt Of public instruction has
been engaged for several days in the
trial Of the case Of the State ys.
John BlOOr as one Of tho ATTORNEYS
for the defendant. Next week At
torncy General Nolan will appear as
attorney for Il private client in the
district court of Lewis and Clarke
county, and has appeared in several
cases in similar capacity since his
term Of Office began.
Indeed, this matter has become lit
tie less than q public scandal. The
populist governor Of the state is
paid over sixteen dollars for every
working day in the year. The demo-
cratic attorney general draws ten dol
lars each day from the public treas
ury. The populist superintendent Of
! public instruction is paid over eight
dollars. These several sums are paid
by the taxpayers Of the state to
these gentlemen to attend to the
states business, not to neglect it for
the purpose oi earning Gees as
lawyers.
f they desire to give their time to
the private practice Of their profess
sion. and not to the service Of the
people WHO elected them, and who
pay them, let them resign their
! offices. X. y. \.

Speaker Solved the Problem.
They were gathered together on the pi-
azza of the summer hotel.

This was received with some contempt
by the company, and soulful youth
gushed out:

just us two!'
A hard featured individual who hat

of all followed, after which they went il

HIS NARROW ESCAPE.


Miss Bloomergirl was seated on the edge
of the fountain tying her shoestrings in a
hard knot when John Pushpedal rode up
on his new wheel and dismounted. His
face was flushed, for he had been scorching
in order to overtake Miss Bloomergirl,
and the emotions that bubbled inside his
sweater only added to his heat. The truth
is that he loved Miss Boomergirl but she
was above him in station. In fact, she
rode IL Sl25 Pushit while he had been
forced to be content with '95 model
during SO and only by wearing outing
flannel shirts all winter had he been able
to purchase a new wheel in the spring
But thrill Of pride ran through him as
he leaned his new '97 Whir-whir wheel
against the fountain and threw himself at
Miss Bloomergirl's feet.

SHE GAVE HER HEART TO ME.

Cupid, one day, in idle quest,
Fitted dainty dart
And aimed it at Priscilla's breast
To strike Priscilla's heart.
Clean through it went; no heart was
there.
Said Cupid, II believe
Priscilla's just the girl to wear
Her heart upon her sleeve"
But there, alack, it was not foundl
AHA" cried Cupid, "note
Her frightened airl Now, I'll be bound,
Her heart is in her throatl"
Failure again. On slender chance
He one more arrow shoots,
Assuming, from her downcast glance,
Her heart was i'll her boots.
Fooled, Cupid threw aside his bow.
She has no heart, said he
(He did not know that long ago
She gave her heart to mel.

Princes Five Shilling Piece.

The Prince Of Wales was one day in
an elementary school on his Sandring-
ham estate, and in his usual genial way
held up shilling piece, saying:
II will give this to the scholar who
can tell me the difference between him
or her and myself.
After pause bright looking little
lad stood up and said:
II think I can, sir. ("
"Well." was the princes reply,
"what is it, my boy?"
II am waiting for your crown, sir.
and you are waiting for your mothers. "
Needless to add, he got the money
and amused the prince immensely. -
