Mr.. Hartman's Opportunity.

s~HIS is the season of the year
when a mans fancy lightly
turns TO thoughts of the culture
of garden sass. the turn being effected
partly by the stealthy approach of
spring. but more particularly by the
reception of a slight token of his con-
CHEESEMAN'S regard in the form of pack
ages of beet. turnip. cabbage and
onion seed. 1t is to be hoped that Rep
resentative Hartman will take enough
time from his other duties properly TO
protect the interests OF his constitu-
ents in this important regard. Mon
tana never expected to get anything
out of the Mckinley administration
anyhow, and all the appropriations of
seeds Mr.. Hartman can secure are in
the nature of pure velvet.
Montana appreciates Mr.. Hartman's
speeches. He cannot pull Mr.. Reeds

pose Mr.. McKinley's Inconsistencies
with too much persistence. or rap Mr..

animation and aggressiveness But for
immediate results. for affirmative ac-
ton. for securing direct benefits TO the
people of Montana. Mr.. Hartman's
sphere of usefulness in the Fifty-fifth
congress is limited 10 the collection, ac-
cumulation and distribution of seeds
and he should address himself to the
discharge of this solemn obligation
with the same interchangeable zeal with
which he knocks the underpnning out
from under the st. Louis platform and
saps the squint-eyed goddess Of cur
rency reform in the face.
Some people have raised objections
to the governments seed business, and
the objections perhaps are more or less
pertinent. But of all the enterprises
in which the government is now en-
gagged. its seed industry must rank as
one of the most creditable. audable
and profitable. Under the circum-
stances the principal objection, as it
strikes us. is that the scope Of the gov
ernment's seed functions is not sufii-
ciently comprehensive. With its gift

THE BOSTON MASSACRE.
An Important Event ia the Nations His



tory.
From February Godey's Magazine
On the evening of March 3. 1910, oe-
Cured riot between the people. ex-
asperated and irritated beyond control,
and guard of soldiers under Captain
Preston, which is known as the Boston
Massacre. A sentinel was first assault
ed. small file of soldiers came to his
support, large crowd soon assembled,
and the soldiers were pelted with stones,
missiles of wood, and pieces of ice, and
We're dared to fire. The soldiers stood
their ground for some time with rea-
sonable patience. but finally. pressed
too far, they fired upon the crowd, kill
ing three men instantly and MORALLY
wounding two others. The effect of this
encounter was electric; the people as
sembied in thousands from all parts of
Boston and neighboring towns, the ex-
element was intense, and the people
could hardly be restrained from falling
upon the regiments and wreaking their
vengeance upon them.
Samuel Adams again came to the
front as great popular leader, and
one of the most dramatic scenes in his
life was his personal demand upon Gov
ernor Hutchinson. at the head of dep
utation of citizens, to remove the regi
ments from Boston. These determined
citizens went in d body to the govern
or'S house and demanded the removal of
the troops. Governor Hutchinson, with
his usual policy, offered to remove one
regiment. This was not satisfactory,
and Samuel Adams addressed the gov
ernor as follows: 1T Is well known
that acting as governor of the province
you are, by its charter, commander-in-
chief of the military forces within it:
and as such the troops now in the CAPT
tai are subject to your orders. If you.
or Colonel Dalrymple under you, have
the power to remove one regiment, you
have the power to remove both, and
nothing short of their total removal will
satisfy the people or preserve the peace
of the province. A multitude, highly in
censed, now wait the result of this APP
plication. The voice of 10000 freemen
demands that both regiments be re-
removed. Their voice must be respected.
their demand obeyed. Fail not. then,
at your peril, to comply with this requ-
sition. On you alone rests the RESPONSE
bility of this decision, and if the just
expectations of the people are disap-
pointed, you must be answerable to
your God and your country for the fatal
consequences that must ensue. The
committee have discharged their duty.
and it is for you to discharge yours.
They wait your final determination"
The result of this impassioned and
peremptory appeal was compliance
with the demand, and both regiments
We're removed to Castle William in Bos-
ton harbor.

passed by the censorship more than half
a century ago. An alarm was raised al

upon to explain the behavior of that

Kansas Cattle
men Organize.
The Initial Meeting at Abilene Prom
iseS a Successful Work for
Our Stock Interests.
MUCH EXPECTED OF THE cow.

The Kansas State cattlemen's Conven-
tion met at Abilene last week. After
addresses OF welcome and responses the
benefits Of a general State organization
were discussed. One of the first speeches
was by Secretary Coburn. He said that
it required little effort to discover that
a large measure Of the future wealth and
greatness of Kansas must come through
her meat products evolved from
the grasses and grains which her soils
yield in a maximum Of abundance for
less tickling than any others of which
agTiculturists, geologists and other wise
men possess knowledge"
Nature had made Kansas marvellous
blending of pasture and corn fields, the
domain of grasses. The foundations Of
profitable animals were pasture and wa
ter. Nowhere could better grasses or
grains be grown than in Kansas. HaV-
ing abundant grass, a variety Of grains,
low-priced lands and mild climate 1t
is easy to demonstrate that nowhere can
beef be produced to greater advantage.
No department of stock husbandry prom
ises better results than the cultivation
of the COW. Dairying yields higher pros
perity than any other line Of farming
and at the same time enables the farmer
TO maintain and increase the fertility Of
the soil.
On the second day the first subject for
discussion was Best Breeds for Beet"
This was followed by George M. Munger
in an address on What the Shippers
Have Right to Expect from the Rail-
roads and Stock Yards" He pointed
out many abuses which should be cor
rected. Ex-Warden Bruce Lynch, who
is now in the stock transportation de-
partment Of the Santa Fe, defended the
railroads.
w. W. Guthrie, Of Atchison, spoke of
The Cattle Situation in Kansas" He
said that he was a great believer in
good blood in cattle, but that he be-
lieved more in good feed and care. He
pointed out that care in breeding was
continually developing better stock. He
thought that a thrifty Texan was far
preferable to runty Shorthorn, no mat
ter what his pedigree may be. Recent
sales had demonstrated that Kansas was
leading in fine-bred cattle. The recruit
ing of Queen Victorla's herd at Senator
Harris Shorthorn sale demonstrated
that Kansas led in Shorthorns, while the
recent sale at Sunny Slope farm showed
that the State also leads In HerefOrds.
Attention was called to the fact that
foreign beef producers were not in con-
dition to supply the usual product, which
increased the demand in this country.
He hoped for the building of an Ameri-
can merchant marine to carry our beef,
pork, wheat and corn to foreign con-
sumers. Notwithstanding that Kansas
is admirably adapted to the cattle In
dustry 1t was for years a very unproGt-
able business, but now we have reached |
better days. Better prices for beef were |
predicted because of the war scare and
the activity oceasioned by the prepara- !
