The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-06

The authorities of the Sulu islands
have accepted the succession of the
United States to the rights of Spain and
our flag floats over that territory. On
the 10th Of August, 1899, Brigadier Cen
eral Bates, U. S. ", negotiated an
agreement with the sultan and his
principal chiefs, which 1 transmit here
with. BY article l, the sovereignty or
the United States over the whole arch
pelago of Jolo and its dependencies is
declared and acknowledged. The Unit
ed States flag will be used in the arch.
ipelago and its dependencies. On
land and sea piracy is to be suppress
ed and the sultan agrees to cooperate
heartily with the United States authors

The Plot Discovered.

A copy Of this fell, by good fortune,
into the hands of our officers and they
were able to take measures to control
the rising, which was actually attempt
ed on the night of Feb. %. a week later
than was originally contemplated. A
considerable number of armed insur-
gents entered the city by waterways
and swamps and, in concert with con-
federates inside, attempted to destroy
Manila by fire. They were kept in
check during the night and the next
day driven out of the city with heavy
loss This was the unhappy condition

The Sailing of liutter.

In Denmark. as seen as the butter
milk has been removed tie butter is
weighed, i'll order to calculate the
amount CT salt required, and the salt
Is worked in ct this time, usually on
the batter worker. Sometimes it is
ali Incorporated 1T one working, but
IN many cases i. IS preferred to add it
IN two workings, says the Dublin Far
mcrs' Gazette. The amount Of salt
used is net uniform. 1t was adapted
10 the taste Of tho market where it is
expected to be sold, but it varies be-
tween four and five per cent. OF the
weight Oft tue hutter The salt is worked
into the butter with the least pos
sible amount Of handling, and it is
then lad aside for some time before
the next working takes place In SUM-
mcv it is put III butter coolers, which
are q sort OF ice box. In winter it Is
either laii IN large rolls i'll the butter
trough OF on n table provided for the
purpose. It lies here for q couple Of
hours in the cold season, hnt when
the weather is warm it is allowed to
remain -oE eight OF ten hours, or until
the cool Of the following morning, be-
fore it receives the final working. The
object is not only to cool the hutter,
anl thus allow it to become tirmer,
but also to allow the salt to dissolve
aud penetrate the whole mass. When
the butter has attained the proper de-
gree o. firiantss, it IS again put throuoh Il
the worker, and considerable portion
OF tie brine formed from the salt Is
worked out. The amount Of working
| il can stand differs much IN individual
| cases Care is taken, however. that
| il is not tle least bit overworked, Sc
| as to become greasy and sticky. This
(, working .nav be repeated couple ol
times, or il msy be packed for ship

TO give il II ore working an hour twt

Af the recent horticultural exhibit
in Hartford, Conn, some excellent
tomatoes were shown by the New

been grown IN soil OF coal ashes and

To Keep CribbeH Corn Clean.

When Indian corn is stored IN cribs
for any length Of time vermiu will
penetrate into it. There ale several
reasons why this is so. Many cribs
aye built too low on the ground. Rats
aud na'ce will quickly burrow into the
soft, dry dirt beneath such Il crib
Once there, it is almost imp ossible to
GET rid Of them Tho spaces between
the boards Or rails Of corn crib are
generally too wide. 4 space Of about
two inches will admit great deul of
dirt, besides it is wide open door
fer plcc.
All cribs sho,li,i be built at least six
inches above the ground. It would
be better il there was space of q
foot or mopse between the floor and
the ground. This spaco should be
tightly boarded up. No vermin could
gain & permauent footholl beneath n
crib thus built. The sleepers on which
the floor rests shonld have smooth,
even surfaces. The boards Of the
noor should be laid together as closely
rs possible. Dy doing this. the
farmer viii help t. rid himself of the
grain worms and grain weevils which
| exist in large nunb bers beneath an i'm
perfectly made floor. Instead OF
| using siS-inch boards on the sides Of
| his crib, with spaces Of two inches
| between them, the farmer who wishes
| to keep his corn free Of mice and dirt
| should uso fourinch boards, with
| one -half-inch spaces between. II he
builds rail cribs, some of the rail;
| should be hewn at the ends. Closely
woven wire netting or Stats would
make good siding for cribs. A heav,
! application Of coal tor would be ex
cellent to prevent the gnawins of tn
boards, besides preserving their use

Trusts and Organized Labor.

The argument Of the trusts that they
cheaper production is unanswerable,
for it Is true, but they destroy cOmpe-
titiOn, lessen opportunity for employ
ment and do not reduce the price of
their commodities In ratio to the re-
ductiOn in the cost of producing them.
Proof Of this Is seen wherever a trust
Is in operation; nor are wages paid by
trusts nearly as high, all things con
sidered, as they were when the plants
we're operated as individual industries.
One Of the purposes of forming a trust
IS to destroy organized labor by con
trolling every opportunity in its line
OF manufacture for work. When, say
20, plants Of trust were operated sep
aTately a wage-earner had 10 other Cd
pOrtunities to get employment If be
was discharged or voluntarily quit the
one be was employed by. But under
trust ownership his discharge from
one plant operates as a bar at the other
l9, for he is Immediately 'blacklisted"
at all of them.
By controlling all opportunities for
employment in the line of industry
which the trust has a monopoly Of,
labor becomes the slave of the trust.
Competition between plants having
been destroyed, competition between
plants In the labor market ceases and
labor Is told what wages it may have
and the schedule is the trusts ultima
tum. What can labor do under such
circumstances but submit, or 20 into
continuous idlenesS. This Is an aspect
OF trust control of the agencies of en-
plOyment which labor shOuld seriously
consider. One would think labor had
already been educated enough by stern
experience concerning the enmity Of
trusts toward organized labor to make
It look about for a remedy, but If IL
has not yet had a sufficient number of
lessons, it may rest assured it Will
have. An industrial trust starts out to
control the price OF raw materials,
control the price OF finished products,
control its wage schedule and crush
out competition in the labor and in all
other markets in which its business
calls upon it to enter. Obviously, the
refOre, the only hope Of labor is to ally
itself with anti trust organizations. so
as to legislate the trusts cut of exist
ence, and force each one of the 20
plants to resume operations as separate
and distinct competitive enterprises
This labor unions must do or dissolve
their organizations and individual
wOrkingmen accept such opportunity
70 earn q living aud such wages as the
trusts may, in the kindness Of their
great and warm hearts, elect to grant
them--kansas City Times.
