THE PROPER COURSE.

We hope our own choice assortment
OF fools, who are in such dreadful
hurry to abandon the Peoples Party.
and rush into the wanton embrace of
any and every organization on earth,
will learn that they are not wanted.
"'NobodY axed you SIR she said"
We quote:
II the address Of Senator Teller and
the other bime tallic seceders from the
present Republican organization sent
out to the country, on Washington s
birthday can be taken as an index, the
future course of the silver Republic
Kansas City Times. They will organ
ize a provisional national committee
by sending delegates to Chicago from
every state and territory in June.
This body will provide for the calling
Of a national convention of the silver
party at some time in the future
which shall define the measures by
which the voters who look upon the
reconciliation of silver as the para
mount issue before the country, and
who are not active mberS Of other
organizations, shall be guided.
The silver leaders make it plain
that there is to be no formal amal0an.a-
ton ,cith either the Democratic or the Popu-
list Party, tor the present at least.
1t IS their expressed intention that
separate organization should be main
tanned. They make it equally plain
that those Republicans who believe
that bimetallis m is the paramount is
sue will not be called upon to surren-
der their convictions On certain other
tenets Of government tai policy and po-
litical economy, but will only be asked
to keep them in the language OF the
address, where it says: "They realize
that those principles are not capable
OF successful application under the
present monetary conditions. They
believe therefore that the adequate
treatment Of all other issues must
await the correct decision Of the DOM
1nant one thus presented. In this
spirit they cO-opeEated with the or
gained forces of bimetallism in. the
last campaign. Every condition of
patriotism and exbediency seems to
counsel continuation Of that
policy" -
Very sensible on the part OF the
Free-Silver Republicans. II they at

publican party. We are sorry to hear
this.

PROGRESSING.

Tom Watson says in the last issue
Of his paper:
The great New York daily, The
Journal, not only advocates an in
crease Of the currency, by free and un-
limited coinage Of silver, but it now
advocates the public ownership Of
railroads.
Thus does an idea grow. There is
not plank in our platform more in
keeping with modern thought, and
more in line with the evolution of
modern business methods and require
ments, than the interfering of the
national highways from the robber-
grip Of the railway corporations.
If POpulists would but stand firm:
if they would but.quit being ashamed
of their principles; If they would but
cease to banker after Democratic pie
here, and Republican custard yonder
we could bring the world to our feet.
We are right, and we can convince
the jury II we explain and argue the

be surprised il we lose the verdict?

time ago.
For several days shoe drummer
has been stopping at the Park Hotel.
In conversation lie stated most en-
phatically that he was forced to
change houses on the first of the year
because OF the Montana boycott. For
three years past he has been travel
ling for St. Paul house. Last year
when the boycott was started his
trade fell off, he says, to such an ex-
tent that he was not making his ex.
penses. Then came the time when
the boycott was declared off, and he
again started out to work the trade
in this state. Every town he visited
it was the same story, and instead OF
getting better it was getting worse,
Finally, he concluded to resign. This
he did, and went to a Milwaukee
house. He was sent back to his same
territory in this state, and has since
been doing just as good trade as at
any time during his most prosperous
period with the st. Paul house.
During the conversation another
travelling man, for a clothing house,
took seat. He agreed with the shoe
salesman that the boycott by Mon
tana merchants had never been
raised. He himself had changed
houses on Jan. !, and noticed great
difference in his trade. Both men
said that with few exceptions all the
travelling men in Montana from ST..
Paul and to some extent from Mime
apOliS also, knew that the old condi-
tlon still. existed, and counted nine
men who had changed to houses in
other cities on Jan. l, for this same
reason.
Trade in Montana since the first of
the year, they say, has been good and
indications are that it will still be
better before the year is out.
We have long been convinced that
ar ability to buy thing for ten cents

quires only the lowest elements of the

such petty deals, accumuIates wealth
he at once joins Board Of Trade and

DECREASE OF CONSUMPTION.


by men who knew what they were
talking about, that if consump-
ton were properly handled it
could be stamped out of exist
ence. At present it is accounta-
BILE for about 10 per cent of the
death-roll in civilized countries;
and that is far too great a crop
of mortality for a disease which
if properly handled could be
stamped out of existence to be
responsible for.
But there is consolation in
knowing that its ravages are sure
ly, if slowly, being reduced. 1t is
abount fifteen years since Prof.
Koch discovered the bacillus tu-
berculosis, and it is chiefly during
that period that the decrease in
the mortalitS-rate from consump-
tion has taken place. Scientific
observers have studied the habits
of the consumption germ and its
method of propagation, and they
have formulated few easy rules,
attention to which materially cir
cumscribes the spread of the die.

the disposal of tuberculous sput'
um, from which it is, when it has
dried, that the bacilli rise into
the air and are inhaled into Other
lungs where they settle and breet

United States and Sir Julian

dor, on behalf Of the British GOV
crnment. This treaty was sent

With a special message soon after
it was signed. In his message
the president says he believes this
treaty will mark new epoch in
civilization, and expresses an
earnest hope that it may commend
itself to the favorable considera-
ton Of the Senate. The treaty
contains sixteen articles, and pro-
vides for three separate tribunals.
Questions relating to pecuniary
claims are to be settled by one of
two sets of arbitration according
to the nature of the claim while
graver questions, such as those
relating to territory are to be de-
cided By more august tribunal.
In these latter cases the decision
of the court must be by majority
of five to one to be binding upon
