SUBSCRIPTION,

A newspaper without enemies is
scarcely deserving of friends. The
vicious and lawless never like a
bold. fearless newspaper, and every
self-respecting publisher should be
proud of their enmlty. There are
other newspaper foes, however,
who are far more troublesome and
consequently more to be feared.
First aud foremost is the man who
owes the newspaper an honest debt
and will not pay it. Then there
is the ambitious mortal who wants
an office and complains because the
newspaper cannot consistently
champion his cause: he is pretty
likely to become an enemy. The
man who wants to shape the policy
OF paper and is not allowed to do
50, is sure enemy. The man who
is the meanest enemy of all is he
whom a newspaper befriended and
who deliberately condemns the
sheet after securing from it all the
assistance he possibly can. The
newspaper can to some extent re-
spect an open and avowed enemy,
but az migrate under any circum-
stances is beneath contempt.

yesterday morning received from
his bl other, B: Percy Clark, who
has been at Washington for sever
al weeks, letter in which it is
stated that the woolgrowers have

The Wool Market.

The American Wool and Cotton
Reporter of the 24th said. Sales
of very fair magnitude, consider
ing the circums tances, have taken
place during the past week. The
tendency is unquestionably firmer
especially in Australian wools,
which have appreciated half cent.
Manufacturers have been in the
market to limited degree: Most
of the attention has been given to
foreign wools, although a fair
amount of territory, California ard
Oregon woods have been sold.
Fleeces remain exceptionally quiet,
and falling off is noted in the
sales of South American cross
breds. Sales in Boston for the
week aggregate 6,2S0.1OO pounds,
of which 2,l48, 500 pounds were
domestic and 4,131 800 pounds
foreign.

A leading trade journal IN speak
ing of the favorable outlook for
higher prices for wool quotes the
following from Messrs Godsbor>
ough, Mort & Co., of Melbourne,
Australia, regarding the prospects
of short wool crop there this
season. "rhe pastoral position
almost throughout Australia is at
present one of great gravity; the
severity of the drought is almost
as acute as it is widespread. The
preservation of stock requires
increased effort and mortality is
increasing with painful rapidity.
while the prospects of the lambing
season have seldom, if ever, been
more unpromising. Shallow coast
al rains are now pre- vaiilng, but as
yet the interior remains parched.

The few free traders left in the

Whenever the Great Falls News
man runs across piece of politica
news in the daily papers that does
not suit his peculiar ideas, he de-
nounces it as a fake, no matter how
reliable that piece OF news may be.
1t seems to be part of the popu-
list policy to misrepresent every
thing.

The retarding influence of cold
and unreasonable weather has
passed, says Dun's Review. The
gain in business which in spite of
it was seen week ago, has become
clear to all. There is evidence of
greatly charging business in every
department. More establishments is
have been set at work and more
hands employed and, while pru-
dence still hinders speculative
excesses, the progress for better
things is unchecked. Reports from
the various cities this week show a
very general progress tnd contin-
uing large distribution through
retail trade.

silver. In recent letter to a

believe it possible to succeed upon
a platform that demands the un-
qualified free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to l to gold. We have
fought that battle and we can nev-
er fight it over under circum-
stances more favorable to our
selves. If We hope to succeed we
must abandon this extreme demand.

BACK FROM LIBERIA
Ne"berry Negroes Have Enough OF That
Country to Satisfy Them

Some two years ago several fam lilies
OF Newberry negroes left for Liberia.
They had rough time Of il and all of
them wanted to come back soon after
they landed, but unfortunately it took
about all the money they could get to
pay their way out thorc, and they were
unable to return. They found the
country u much worse one than this,
with no work TO do and nothing out of
which they could make q living and
with no prospect Of making enough
with which to return to America. Some
OF them who went out were in very
good circumstances here, but they sold
everything to go.
Those who have been fortunate
enough to return say it would not be
good for Bishop Turncl if he were to
come across their pathway. He was
Instrumental in inducing them to go.
Several Of the Newbcrry families
have been fortunate enough to get
back. Steve Salter returned about q
year ago and afterwards managed to
get his wife home. There are others
also who have returned.
Among those who went out were
Ollie Watts and his wife and five chill
dren. He had been an Industrious
colorcd man and had some 5000 when
he left. Soon after landing he found
out it was not the country he expected
to find, and not having enough money
lefV to return with his entire family, he
immediately bought ticket for his
wife and sent her back to Ncwberry,
deciding it was best for him to stay
and tough 1t out rs best he could. 1t
was noble and manly act on his part.
She landed here about June Of last
year, and began efforts to get her hus-
band and children hack. Finally Col
G. j. Purcell became interested aud
sent on $500 for the return of Watts
and his children. They reached Now
berry on Saturday, all snfc and sound,
and the family is once more reunited
and fully satisfied to live aud die here.
III there was ever II grateful man and
woman in this world Watts and his
wife were. We believe there is graft
tude in the negro for fuvnrs shown.
They were certainly happy and fortu-
nate as we'll.

A Sad Accident,

On Saturday afternoon little Ethel
th} year old daughter OF Mr.. and
MIS-. Gray Of the Ncwberry Hotel
fell fIom the second story OF 9he hotel
to the floor Of the lobby, some 16
feet. She was playing on the railing
OF the stairway and lost her balance.
She struck the floor on her face. Her
father was sitting N the lobby few
feet away and ran to her at once. She
was badly bruised and the skull fruc-
tured but no other bones broken.
Physicians were immcdiatly sum-
moned and at one time it was thought
that the fall might prove fatal but last
night she was doing very we'll and it is
thought now she will recover. 1t was u
marvellous escape. The wonder is that
she was not killed in the fall
She is q pretty and bright little
girl and the hope and prayer Of many
friends is that she may speedily re-
cover. She is an only child.
