Our Demo-Pop Governor.

Gov. Robert Burns Smith of this
state has been f1attered, evidently, by
the New York Journal. He has been
addressed as q Democrat, when most
people of this state supposed he was
a Populist. Anything to get Office
would properly classify him, how
ever. The Journal has sent u request
to the different governors OF the
Democratic faith for their opinions
on the best methods of re-uniting the
Democratic party. Gov. Smith, who
speaks as a Democrat and not as a
Pop, says: Il could suggest no
other position for the Democrats at
present than adherence to the DeOmo-
cratic creed announced in the nation
al platform adopted at Chicago"
Certainly not; what else could be
expected of the political ~contortion,
list. He wants the whole thing
again-free trade, free silver, mob
rule and Altgeltism-he would not
drop out n plank. He further says;
.'Those who cannot support it's dec.
llarations are not Democrats. Their
opposition to the Dingley bill should
be placed upon the doctrine of tariff
for venue only. Sitting idly by al
lowing the opposition to have theiI
own course does not seem to me to
he the way to discharge a public
trust"
nf fhn r. ID only a "
pressing his opinion as regards what
constitutes a Democrat. There are
pretty good men in the party who
never flew to Populism for office, who
will take issue with him now or in
1900. As the governor supported tho
| Wilson measure for a deficit only, his
views on the tariff r of no special
value. But Of course he would talE
il he were i'm congress. He would
employ dilatory tactics i'm trying to
make the people believe that he wa
an authority on enconomic questions
II he didn't do that he wouldn't bt
like Bob Smith; he wouldn't act like
a modern Democrat or POpulist. II
makes no difference what evils they
bring upon the country only SO they
get an office. Bob Smith favOrs
tariff for e only" and hi
also favors a policy for Office only.
The Democratic party will not gel
together in the next four years and
for this the American people will b,
| duly thankful.

The INSCRIPTIONS Democratic press
of this state, notably the Anaconda
Standard, would try to make the
people believe that Senator Carter
was Striking his duty as regards the
forestry reservation order which has
been suspended until March l, 1S9S.
Mr.. Carter has labored faithfully and
energetically to have the order sus-
pended indefinitely and to insinuate
that he has shown indifference in the
matter is belying the facts. The Her.
AIDS Washington correspondent OF
May 9th, says:
The conference report on the SUM-
dry civil bill was adopted to-day.
Senators Carter and Mantle opposed
the adoption of the report, voting In
harmony on this proposition as they
have voted and worked from h be
ginning. AS a matter OF fact, Carter
led in the fight, his colleague not be
ing present. When Mantle returned
he made an able speech, announcing,
however, that he could only reiterate
| what had been previously said. From
| the fact that he did not repeat him
self and notwithstanding his votes
were recorded every time, the Stand
dard correspondent, evidently acting
under instructions undertook to cast
Senator Carter in a wrong light
which to say the least was a very
ungracious act in view OF the large
interest of the Standard pepole in thu
cause Senator Carter 80 ably pleaded

The Wool Schedule,

Senator Aldrich, who has charge
| of the tariff bill in the senate, in his
opening speech last week, dwelt at
some length on the changes made by
the finance committee. Following
are his remarks in relation to the
wool schedule, which will be OF inter-
est to many of our readers whether
they can endorse all of his conclu-
sions or not:
1.-The committee has aimed to give
the woolgrowers arate of duty which
will average from 10 per cent. to 70
per cent. higher than the rates OF
earlier tariffs. In doing this 1t is
given higher proportion upon the
raw material than upon the manu-
featured products in every case.
every careful consideration has
been given to the compensatory duty
on woelen goods, with the result oi
reducing the compensatory rates on
low grade goods, into whose manu-
facture more or less of other materi-
ais than wool enter. On the high
grade goods thecompensatory duties
are fixed ON the same basis that has
obtained in all previous tariffs.
"The house bill rate of 80 per cent.
on carpet woods costing less than l3
cents a pound has created more agi-
tation and opposition than any other
feature of the wool schedule. 1t is
| alleged by the woolgrowers that this
low rate of duty on carpet woods
destroys the effectiveness of the pro-
lection afforded upon the higher
grades of wool, by reason of the
temptation it offers % import these
low woods TO be used in cheviOts,
golf suitings, and other popular
fabrics which do not require fine
woods.
"Without undertaking to affirm
the correctness of these allegations
regarding the extensive use of these
carpet woods for clothing purposes,
the committee recognized the fact
that there il some such use made of
them. To remove all possible ground
for complaint on this score, they have
fixed the duties on class 3 woods at
four cents n pound under 10 cents in
value, and at seven cents a pound
over that valuation.
"Under these duties the ad valorem
equivalents will range on the various
clips from 30 per cent. up to 60 per
cent, and in some cases 40 per cent,
and they are higher than In any pre-
vious law. 1t is certain that under
these duties foreign carpet woods can
not be imported to take the place Of
domestic woods In cloth manufae-
lures. Taking this feature of the
wool schedule into account it Ia a fact
definitely demonstrated by the mar
ket reports that the protection given
the American wOolgrOwe under the
senate bill is greater and more effect
i've than he has ver before received
In American tariffs. Under this sched-
ule wool growing should become In
time one of the most profitable
branches of American agriculture"

In Social Circles.

One of the pleasantest parties of
season was given last Wednesday
afternoon by Mrs. David Hilger and
Mrs. John b. Rauch at the home of
the former. Thirty ladies were pres
ent and each one was given paper
and pencil and a card on which was
written fifteen questions which We're
to be answered by the authorizations
of the state. AS, which is the most
religious state? Answer, Mass.
The most Most maidenly? Miss.
The guessing afforded much enter
tainment and all were interested.
There were several equally success
full guessers and the drawing neces-
sary, under the circumstances, gave
the first prize a sterling silver berry
fork with gold tines, to Mrs. Chas.
Lehman, and the second, "A beautiful
golden rod coffee spoon to Mrs. j.
NJ. Vrooman.
At supper time a tray was passed
filled with dainty souvenirs cut
from card board in fancy designs
with quotations OF poetry written
on them. There were two of each
design and the first part of a quota
ton was written on one, the other
part on the other card of the same
design, the two ladies drawing cards
alike with quotations to correspond,
were partners for supper. An ele-
giant repast was served after which
the guests departed, all uniting in
thanking their entertainers for a
most delightful afternoon.

W. T. Bryant, the old soldier who

G.. Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church.
carrying the body of a woman up to

never saw either Gibson or Durrant

swear that he was in the church at
the time when the murder was COM
mitted, and that Gibson committed
the crime. Nothing is known OF
either woman and it is thought
Bryant is given to hallucinations or
is an accomplished liar. There is no

the number at $1,000 to 80, 900 head.
