The Cotton Markets.

New York April 26.-The cotton mar
kct opened steady in tone, with prices
L point lower to 2 higher. During the
first few minutes more or less irregu-
larity prevailed owing to conflicting
rumors regarding the reception of some
10000 May notices, which had been put
in circulation by certain houses With
the intention, it was understood. of de-
pressing the market. Developments
soon demonstrated that these tenders
were being rapidly gathered in by the
crowd, and as natural result the
houses sending out the notices made
scramble 10 recover as many ati poss-
bic. This demand sent May up s points
in short order, with the rest of the
list following suit, although less rapid
ly and on a smaller scale.
BY midday TIE market had settled
into the old rut. and for the rest Of the
session ruled generally quiet. with room
traders in control. Prices lowered
within Il point or two OF the top notch
on scattered demand from shorts. to-
gether with lighr new buying which
drifted in from Wall street. The bear
element, while satisfied with crop and
weather news. were made uneasy by
persistent runorS of Il contemplated
squeeze of August shorts. and by cs-
Inmates for much smaller receipts at
the larger interior towns ana ports. At
the close the market was steady, with
prices four to seven points higher

BILLINGS TO GILT EDGE.
New Mail Route Being Agitsted by Mus

The Billings Gazette says that 8.
II. Erwin OF Roundup, was in Bill
lings recently circulating petition
for the establishment OF a six. time-a-
week mail service from Billings to
Roundup and thence to Gilt Edge,
the petition receiving many sigma
lures.
We certainly do not want to be
considered In the light Of opposing
such project, for the more and bet
ter mail facilities that the citizens OF
this or any other section have, the
more agreeable II will be, but never
theless we can hardly see wherein
Gilt Edge is to be materially benefit.

Associate Justice Pigott admins
tered the oath to the house as a body.
The roll was then called and each
member present required to step for
ward and sign the oath. Secretary
Hogan then withdrew and Z. G. Day
OF Helena was made speaker pro ten.
The caucus names above given were
then presented by Stephens, Of Mis-
soula. Representative Hedges, OF
Fergus, then presented the nomina-
tions of the minority. which were as
follows: Speaker, William Lindsay Of

clerk, W. T. Mcfarland OF Fergus;

Representative Stone Of Missoula to
act az clerk, and after announcing
the vote, which stood jSto l0infavor
OF the caucus nominees, declared them
elected and appointed Stephens OF
Missoula and Hedges OF Fergus TO
escort the newly-elected speaker to

recalled to administer the oath to the

n private coach leaves in the morn

The petition Is as follows:
Billings. Mont. Jan. 1. 1Ng9.-To
the Honorable Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, Washington, ID.
G.: We, the undersigned residents Of
Yellowstone county, state of Mon
tana, and patrons OF the offices along
proposed route, do hereby respectful
ly petition and earnestly ask that n
six-times-a-week mail route be estab-
lished, to commence at Billings. Yel-
lowstone county, Montana, and run,
Via Shannon's ranch IN. o. to
Roudup, Yellowstone county. Mon
tana; thence to Highfield, and to it's
terminus at Gilt Edge, Fergus county,
Montana, supplying, in addition to
existing Offices on said route. two
additional Offices. to be petitioned
for, to be located between the offices
OF Highfield and Gilt Edge Fergus
county, Mont. We respectfully re-
present that the establishment of
said route will be highly appreciated
by the patrons Of the respective
offices to be supplied, and will add
to the efficiency OF the service and be
in the interests OF the same. Said
proposed route will follow n regular
ly established county road and will
be open at all seasons of the year"
The Billings Gazette adds:
"The establishment OF this route
would be great convenience to Bill
ings aud also to the people Of Round
up and Gilt Edge, both Of which now
have poor mail facilities. 1t also
would accommodate many people on
Flatwillow and through that section
OF the country, where several OF the
star routes, taken at toe low a figure
by foreign contractors, have been
abandoned. This new route would
not interfere In any manner with the
route from Layina to TIBET and the
people of Billings are especially
anxious to have II established"

The Best Seeds Absolutely Necessary.

We cannot too strongly nor too
otter urge the supreme Importance OF
planting seeds that are perfectly pure
and fresh. Seeds that are offered at
cheap prices are almost invariably OF
doubtful origin and OF uncertain age,
sure to cause the planter disappoint-
ment and loss. The thoughtful
planters only surety lies In buying
seeds sent out by a conscientious and
trustworthy house. A vast number
of American gardeners have land
have had for years. the utmost con-
fidence in seeds that bear the name,
ID. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich.
The present generation of planters
can hardly ramember the time when
Ferry's Seeds were not on sale every
where each year and as regularly
planted by thOusands-with the
greatest faith in the unvarying
quality of the seeds and In the
integrity OF the firm that grew them.
Every planter whether already a
buyer of Ferry's Seeds or not, should
send for Ferry's Seed Annual for
1899. 1t is mailed free to anyone
who writes for Ii.

THE PRACTICAL SIDE
OF the Expansion Problem Discussed by .
Leading Writer.

We are not under the slightest OBJ
legations to make haste in propound-
ing a theory OF the nature of the new
relations between the Philippines and
the United States, nor yet tn elabOr
ate any comprehensive scheme of
government. We must drop the
French model and at this point take
up English methods. We need not
make definitions at all about the
status of the Philippines, but simply
proceed to do any particular work
that may require to be done. and
otherwise do nothing at all. First,
IL the treaty should be ratified, we
must make contract with private
shipping companies for taking the
Spanish soldiers back home at our
expense. That will involve our per-
suading the insurgents to give up
their spanish prisoners. Gen. Otis
and Admiral Dewey would seem to
be OF the opinion that they can ar
range that item OF business without
trouble. After the prisoners are
yielded up and are all packed off for
Spain the insurgents will have to be
persuaded to disband. Gentlemen in
Boston will not be able to lend much
assistance at that point, but it 10
highly probable that men now In the
Philippines or that general part OF
the world-such as Admiral Dewey,
Consul Wildman OF Hong Kong, Gen.
Otis and Others who might be named
can arrange very satisfactorily with
Aguinald0 and his people. There Is
little reason to suppose that we
should need for any length OF time to
retain in the Philippines the services
OF more than quarter OF the Ameri-
can troops who are now there. There
are plenty OF men who have In times
past served In the native regiments
with the Spanish army-many OF
whom have also subsequently served
in the insurgent ranks-who can be
readily formed into an excellent body
OF military police. And since the
people are quite certain to be very
peaceably inclined and are ready to
believe in the benevolence OF the mis-
sion OF the United States, the main-
tenance OF order is not going to be
seriously difficult. 1t will not be a
very battling task to improve the ad-
ministration OF justice as between
man and man, nor to simplify theex-
listing system OF taxation-removing
needless burdens from agriculture and
business and replacing the corrupt
and rapacious methods OF the Span
iards with honest and fair Anglo
Saxon methods. These matters, with
the policing, are the principal ones
that for some little time to come will
have to be attended to. They are

EDITOR ARGUS: Do you think ii il
fair or right that the spare men who
are not needed on our ranches in the
winter and have not sense enough to
take up ranch, build themselves a
cabin, kill wolves, or make some use
ful improvements, but go to Lewis
town and spend their summer s earn
ings in the whisky shop or gambling
house. should be driven out of the
town where they have spent their
money to ''bnm" on us ranchers?
Better drive out the saloon and GAM
bling house keepers that have got
their money. Talk about universal
suffrage. Men who have not as much
sense as the bee, the squirrel or the
beaver, who lay up winters sup
ply OF food, are not competent to
vote. JAMES FERGUS.
