The Ravalli Republican., 1898-10-05

Charley Hartman and Judge Smith
having declined to run on the silver
republican-populist state ticket, and
Judge Brantly, their nominee for
chief justice, having been nominated
bg the straight republicans, the
graceful thing for the committees Of
the two former parties to do would
be to fill out the vacancies with the
names of Col. Marshall and Judge
Grubb. They then would have a
united and successful opposition to
the democratic party, which both the
pOpuliSts and the silver republicans
claim betrayed both them and the
cause Of silver at Anaconda.

The democratic press of Montana
is continually claiming that the dem
ocratic party is united in its friend
ship for the white metal, and that it
is the only party solid for Bryan and
silver. The democratic state con-
ventions of New Hampshire, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Georgia and Wisconsin,
representing 230 votes in the next
nat tional democratic convention, have
all either voted down or ignored any
reference to the silver question.

it would be found in the fact that
the Times, which is posing as the
champion of that ticket, trains all
it's guns on the republican ticket and
lets the democrats alone. The Times
has not a word to say in answer to
the democratic papers, but is making
its fight on the REPUBLICAN, and the
ticket this paper supports.

We are sorry to see our heretofore
decent contemporary, the Hamilton
Times, getting down TO the level Of
the democratic sheets Of this county
in the matter Of abusive tactics in
stead of argument. And we are
forced to the conclusion that in these
days, when the sun Of republican
prosperity is ditfusing it's ljfe giving
warmth into all departments Of labor
and business, the newspapers which
are seeking to have these conditions
changed and the country again given
over to the care Of that party which
creates tramp armies, breaking banks,
business failures, closed factories and
hungry Workingmens families, and
which is forced by it's theoretical leg
islation to issue interest bearing gold
bonds in time Of peace, find them
selves very short of argument, and
are driven to the attempt to create
personal prejudice and personal i'll.

that by such means the people may
be once more fooled into trusting
again in the party Of broken prom.

The horological requirements in rail-
road practice at the present day involve
meehanisms Of absolutely perfect pre-
cision, says the New York Sun. Thus,
on the Atchison line, all the watches
are tested for 24 hours In each one Of
three positions, pendant up, dial up,
and dial down, and the permissible
limit of error is just six seconds. A
watch losing three seconds in "a hours
in one position, gaining three in an
other, and losing three in third, is ae-
eepted, the extreme variation being
only six seconds; a watch gaining Is
seconds in one position, u in the sec
ond and nine in the third would be ac-
cepted, however; for the position rate
being thus shown to be correct for such
purpose, it is merely matter of regu-
latiOn to make the watch run with
maximum variation of 30 seconds a
week, which is the standard of the

Delicate Advice.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Mr. John Brisben Walker has written
an article on Motherhood as a Profes-
sion" He has a notion that girls should
devote more serious consideration to
the duties of motherhood, which GER
tainly await most of them. In this we
agree with Mr.. Walker, as well as in
his rebuke to parents for tabooing the
subject of marriage in their talks with
their children, as is 50 often the case.
But Mr.. Walker seems not to know
that there has been great deal written
in the way of bringing this subject be-
fore young women-wisely written by
wise women and wise men. Is there
not danger in insisting too much on
the study of the subject? We can hard
ly agree with with Mr.. Walkers advice
to young women "Give up your whole
mind to this problem of finding u hus-
band whom you can love and who can
love YOU" We have known a good
many women who have done just that,
and the results do not seem to approve
the advice as good.

MI Airy World
With returning warmth and burst
ing bud we have been accustomed to
expect each year our woods to be filed
with bird-life. This expectation has
from year 10 year been realized less,
until to-day only the English spar
row aud an occasional robin or black
bird are here to greet us Where the
wren, the blue-bird, the cat-bird, the
cl1ewink, the red bird and myriad Of
others were wont to hold high carnival
In our hedgerows, along our fences and
ON our lawns, and to iii the air with
the melody Of their song, there is now
a silence hitherto unknown. Their 81
ienee casts a pail over all nature and is
much to be deplored. Not only did
they add joy to life but they were the
instruments of great good, suppressing
as they did the insect life that threat
ened not only to devastate our fruit and
grain fields but to lay waste cur forests
as well. II this condition were from
causes over which we have no control,
We would not have so much TO regret,
but when we consider that we ourselves
are wholly to blame for the loss Of our
little feathered friends, that il was our
own vanity and our own inhumanity
that brought about the change we have
double occasion for seli-eondemnatiOn.
1t is fact that in one year five million
birds were slain to bedeck women's
bOnnets; one million bobolink were be-
reft of life; seventy thousand song
birds notes were stilled that their plu-
mage might be used for millinery pnr-
poses; but this is not the only cause for
the hush in our woods. The other one,
and il is one quite as potent, is pure
love of slaughter. There is some little
reason in killing to get plume to deck
the person, but none whatever in this
killing simply for fun. The small boy
almost before he is out of his kits goes
around with sling, and the amountof
amusement he has is in proportion to
the amount of life he takes. When he
gets little Older the sling gives place
to an air rifle, this little later to a shot
gun, and rs soon as he can afford it, he
owns breech-loading gun of the latest
pattern. He is then a full fiedged
sportsman" who sallies forth i'm the
morning with visions of ducks and
deer, 10 return at night destroying ev-
cry living thing along his path. The
pretty songster of every size in the dell,
the king fisher and the bittern beside
the lake, the tiny ehipmunk basking
in the sunshine, alike fall before his
deadly fusilade. If the warfare eOntiu-
ues, absolute extinction will be the in
evitable result. Legislation has done
something towards arresting the evil,
but it is a case that demands much
more stringent laws.

Ananias, Cain and Others.

The Reading newspapers recorded
the other day the fact that there had
been a stone match on the farm Of Ana
Mas Remmerto. The stone match was

The really curious thing abont the af-
fair was the fact that Remmerto's first
name was Ananias. An elderly preach

the counties of Eastern Pennsylvania

Corn in Nebraska.

From the Corn Belt.
A journey through Nebraska shows
certain facts that are indisputable, since
they are apparent even from a ear
window. First, there is an immense
store Of the corn of 1897 in cribs. The
small towns are, so to speak, full Of corn,
and the cribs full of it are visible wher-
ever the farm buildings lie close enough
to the line to be seen. This corn area
lies far out toward the Colorado line.
In eastern Nebraska and in Iowa the
supply of everything, growing and IN
cribs, is, of course, immense. 1t is
useless to expatiate upon the present
supply and the immediate prospects
of those unequaled agricultural re-
giOns.

THE BRAVE AT HOME.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles.
Though heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
II r heart has shed drop as dear
As e'er bedewed the field OF glory!
The wife who glris her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
Aud bEaveiy speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams TO hear
The bolts OF death around him rattle,
Has shed as sacred blood as e'cr
Was poured upon the field Of battlel
The mother who eonceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
Kissing the patriot brow she presses
With no one but her secret God
To know the pa u that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Frtedom's field OF honor.
