Who Employs Labor

Our contemporary is unfortunate
in trying to array the workingmen
against the Republican legislative
ticket. In the last two issues the
point ia made that the Republicans
favor corporations. Let us. see what
the records show. The Republican
nominees on the Legislative ticket EN-
ploy, and pay the highest wages, to
about one hundred men in thiscounty
and fully ten times as many as h
Democrats do, and are entitled to ten
times as much support from the
workingmen, and we are confident
that IS per cent of all money paid to
workingmen i'm this county is paid by
the Republicans, and we are also
glad to he able to say that the wages
of workingmen in this county r
higher for the same class of work
than anywhere else in the world.
+ furthermore, wages paid by the in
corporated companies in this county
are us high as paid by nyindividual,
and we do not know of any working
man ever having lost a cent OF his
wages by a company incOrporatedin
this county. and the more such COM
panies there are incorporated the
better it is for the workingman. With
such facts before men who toll, our
contemporary exhibits bad Judgment,
to say the least, in trying to array
them against the Republican legisla-
tive ticket. 1t was by just such DEM
agogy, such appeals to prejudice.
that gave us Grover Cleveland and
his wage-destroving administration
six years ago. Let every honest la
boring man regard such assaults as
an insult to his intelligence.

Constitutional Amendments.

To constitutional amendments are
to be voted upon this fall by the peo-
pie of Montana.
One, that denominated relating to
the supreme COURT provides means
for increasing the number of justices
of the supreme court from three to
five when in the Judgment of the leg
islature it shall appear advisable.
The work of the court is constantly
increasing, and all the attorneys
agree that the justices are even now
frequently overtaxed. Anotherclause
of this amendment provides that
when one or more justices arefora any
reason disqualified, a district Judge
may be called to occupy n seat on
the bench. This seems altogether
necessary. Last week the case in
volving the right of the Democratic
nominees to also appear on the Sill
yer Republican ticket was to be test
ed, and the litigants were forced to
abide by the decision OF a district
court because both Justices Pember-
ton and Pigott, being candidates for
reelection, were disqualified. Had
the proposed amendment been i'm force
the supreme court could have given a
decision.
The other amendment ia to correct
an error made by the trainers Of the
constitution, and is denominated on
the ballot as an amendment 'relat-
ing to county commissioners" The
constitution contemplated that not
all three members of the board of
commissioners should retire from Of
fee at the same time, hut that the
experience of one member should be
of benefit to those unfamiliar with
the duties. At the same time the
constitution provided that the terms
of the county commissioners should
be four years, SO that all members
have necessarily concluded their terms
of office at the same time. Both n
Republican and a Democratic legisla-
ture have adopted bills for the sub
mission to electors of an amendment
to correct this error. and this fall the
people will pass upon it. The amend
ment in effect provides that the terms
of those now holding office shall eX-
pire on the first Monday of January,
1903: that at the election to be held
i'm November. 1902, one commissioner
shall be elected for a term of two
years and two commissioners for a
term OF four years, and that those
thereafter shall be elected for four
vaarS paehh fhnR nrnVidinO fnr one
hold-over member. Ii the matter ia
ever to be Strengthened the length of
the term of existing commissioners
will have to be increased, for the law
will not allow it's being diminished,
and this year is a good time to make
the correction.
Vote for both amendments.

We presume if sheep and wool
should command a good price for the
next ten years Mr.. Hartman would
attribute it to the loss of sheep in
esting to know just how long it will
take to explode this subterfuge. Mr..
Hartman does concede that the Ding
ley bill increased the price of wool
from 2 to % cents n pound. This is
even IA remarkable concession for
him. or course. it was not expected
that he could see the indirect effects
of h law on the wool market. He
is a Democrat now, and the Demo-
cratic vision is always limited.

The state Democratic central COM
mittee made a bold bluff for a Joint
debate between Senator Carter and
Gov. Smith. When il came to a
showdown the Democrats took ref
uge behind the claim that silver was
h only issue and demanded that the
discussion be confined to that ques-
ton alone. Mr.. Carter stood ready
to discuss all the issues before the
people, including silver. but Gov.
Smith was afraid to meet him. 1t
IL no wonder, with it's record on the
tariff question and it's unpopular at
titude regarding expansion, that the
Democrats should refuse to discuss
such issues. Yet, while Montana
Democrats are SO anxious to discuss
silver, the party in a great many of
the states OF the Union, and states
which they mustcarry in orderto ever
get control of the government and
secure silver legislation, are utterly
ignoring the question because they
are afraid it will defeat their tickets.
The idiocy and inconsistency of Mon
tana Democracy has no parallel.

In view of Congressman Hartman's
dirty filings at President Mckinley
and his conduct of the war. the fol-
lowing from the editorial columns of
the London Times shows the differ
ence between a foreignerin sympathy
with a just cause and a good man
and a sore and disappointed Ameri-
can politician:
IF foreign observers might pre-
sumo to have an opinion upon his
conduct. it would be that President
Mckinley has kept his finger con
stantly upon the national pulse and
has known how to stimulate and di-
rect national thought without too
markedly outrunning its movement.
Everything has Dee lone in the
open. Every move has been dis
cussed al a possibility all ove the
United States before the government
was i~rrevocably committed one way
or the other. and the result of the
cautious. tentative policy is that
where he stands at this moment the
president has the whole American
people at his back. WedO not know
that there can be any higher states
manship for a president governing
under the constitution of the United
states.

The hypocrisy of the Democratic
party and of Hartman is something
appalling. Saturday night IA por-
trait of Abraham Lincoln adorned
b stage. Thirty-five years ago
Democrats used toward the great
liberator the same epithets they are
using today against Mckinley, and
when another generation has passed
away we shall doubtless see McKin-
ley's picture placed alongside that of
the Democratic aspirant for the pres
idency.

Here is an increase in the four

Here is an increase in the four
states during eight years of 1,416 vii
lagos and towns, which equals thirty
seven per cent, and an increase of
1884, in population, equalling thirty
six per cent. Such increases must at
tract attention everywhere, and we
may confidently expect much great
er growth during the next eight years.
Although the principal growth
seems to have been made in the rural
districts, yet it is equally gratifying to
those whose interests are in the cities
for it is the unrivalled resources and
opportunities of the Northwest which
create and build up the smaller towns
upon which depend the prosperity of
the cities.
The canvass, compilation, printing
and binding have caused the expendi-
ture of large amount of cash and
have given employment to several

there is we'll defined beet belt of
about 300 miles in width, extending
1rregularly across our continent,
among the most prosperous and in
dustrious people of our land. Con-
sidering the large amount Of sugar
used in this country, that five-sixths of
this is imported, it seems strange that
more sugar is not raised on our own
soil by our own labor. Would not the
benefits of increased land values, the
legitimate profits of the business,
the employment of large numbers of
people now gravitating to the cities,
cause Klondike boom to general
prosperity and aid in settling some
perplexing sociological questions, if

ing could be taken up as the merits
of our climate warrant? Some expert

An Editor FlOgged .

Dispatches state that Editor E. G..
II. Adams, publisher of the Spring
Valley Sun, was horsewhipped on the
principal street of that village last
Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. H. A.
Pettis, concerning whom it is alleged
he had recently published an article
that had given offense. The castiga-
tion, which was severe one, was wit
messed by crowd of not less than
$50.
Mrs. Pettis is the proprietress of
small confectionery and tobacco store
on one of the side streets in the vii
lage, and according to her story, one
of her most frequent customers was
Adams. Trouble arose between the
two, and Mrs. Pettis called at the Sun
and stopped her paper. A few days
later Adams sent her bill for small
amount, which she refused to pay, on
the ground that she was not indebted
to him. The next issue of the Sun
contained the item which was the
cause of the sensational f1ogging.
Mrs. Pettis in published inter-
view says:
All I am sorry for is that T was
burdened with hat and wraps, and
that used whip. can whip him
any time with my bare hands. Adams
had no reason to make such a dirty,
coWardly attack upon me. 1t was all
because he came to my place late one
night and wanted me to let him in.
I told him was tired and could not
do so, and he left. The next week he
published mean and cowardly attack
on me, and sent word to him to stop

up. The next week he continuedshis
attacks in a more abusive manner.
Not having the courage to come out

thing wrong, which would give me a

Pullman Car Company Sued

A case from the superior court of Tulare
county has been transferred to the United
States district court. in which Mrs. e. A.
Gill, lady of that city, is plaintiff and the
Pullman Car company defendant. On
Sept. G. 1884, Mrs Gill purchased ticke.
ir San Francisco, which entitled her to
rassage and berth in defendants palace
sleeping car to the town of Burton, Kan.
At the time of purchase she was informed
that the ticket would entitle her to pas
sage without change of cars until she ar
rived at her destination. When the train
arrived at Barstow the plaintiff was in
formed that she would have to change cars
and at an early hour in the morning she
was shown to another car, where berth
was prepared for her. But upon entering.
the porter ordered her to leave the car and
to alight on the platform at the station
and wait until provision could be made for
her. The porter willfully and negligenty
failed to place stool for her to step on.
nor took pains to assist her, and in alight-
ing she was thrown violently to the ground,
bruised and sprained one of her legs to such
an extent that she has ever since been Il
cripple, and has permanently lost the use
of that member and is crippled for life.
She therefore claims damages in the sum
of s25, 900 and $500 for medical treatment and
costs of suit.
