ONLY A QUESTION OF RIGHT.
Secretary.

The HERALD is always sorry to
learn that its utterances have injured
anyone, either in fact or in feelings,
and when the trouble arose over the
city election of last spring, this pap
er could do nothing more, did no.
thing more, than what the cause of
right seemed to demand. We had
indeed hoped that the cause of con-
tenton might be amicably settled,
but the case has reached that stage
in the growth of popular wrong that
the lawfully elected officers of the
people cannot take their seats, and a
high handed usurpation of power is
chargeable TO the aggressors.
AS we stated before, the HERALD
desires not the il-will of anyone, and
much less desires to harm anyone
who may be justly entitled to con-
sideration. We took no side in the
election, where ones right is sup
posed 10 be equal to every other bod
US. And now the question, the on
ly question, which marks this papers
attitude is, do the people of this COM
munity enjoy their just rights? Evil
IDENTITY not; and until they do, this
paper will have canse to champion
and war to wage, in which no
theme but popular right will be per-
mitted to enter.

AN ADDRESS TO FARMERS.
Strong Appeal to the Producing
Glasses of This County.


To the farmers of Cascade and Ad-
lacent Counties:
Conference.-The agricultural.
Mineral and Mechanical association
of Cascade county having made ann
pie preparations for holding a fair in
Great Falls on September %. u.
22, 23, beg leave to solicit your
earnest cooperation, in order that 1t
may be made complete success.
The citizens of Great Falls have
provided a guaranty fund sufficient
to insure the payment of all premi-
ums offered, and are working with
commendable zeal in many ways, to
make the fair worthy of Northern
Montana. Nothing will contribute
more to the advancement of our ap-
ricultural interests than an extensive
exhibition of the farm products Of
this section of the state. And every
man who is cultvatng farm in
this part of Montana owes it to him
self and the industry in which he is
engaged, to bring samples of his
crops to this fair.
In connection with the fair will he
held the greatest racing event ever
| undertaken in Northern Montana.
No less than 80 horses, represent
ing many California stables, as we'll
as the stables Of Marcus Daly and
W. ID. Randall, will participate in
the races. 1t is believed this fair
and race meeting combined will pre-
sent one of the strongest induce
mentS ever offered in this state for
bringing Il large crowd together.
We earnestly hope yon will be pres
ent and bring with you liberal re-
presentation of your farm products.
and thus show to the world that
farming has already obtained a
strong hold in this Part of the west.
Before you finish cutting your grain,
we hope you will save few sheaves
to bring to the fair for decorative
purposes.
Please bear in mind that the races
will commence September II and
continue until the oath: while the
agricultural and mechanical fair will
be opened on the Goth and will con
tinue until the 23d. Letters of in
quiry should be addressed to g. II.

In the city of Great Falls, which
on any proposition in which the
public is to any extent interested.
ought to cast $500 votes. the vote
upon purchasing the water works
plant stood lS9 for purchase and 81
against, making total of only 220,
or less than one-tenth of the eligible
voters. Taken in connection with
the fact that every paper in Great
Falls has been urgently preaching
in favor of the proposition the vote
is decidedly small. 1t seems to us
that advocates of the initiative and
referendum would see in this case a
lot Of food for reflection.
