Citizens Will Get Around the
Tax Decision.
THE GENERAL SENTIMENT
Is That Children Should Not Be De-
prived of a Chance to Get an
Education
Hamilton, Mont, Oct. -, 1899

Hamilton, Mont, Oct. u, 1899.
The recent decision of the supreme
court that the law authorizing school
trustees to levy a special tax for school
purposes is void caused surprise and con-
sternation among the people of this Sec
ton who are interested in the success of
our schools. AS the projected tax can
not be collected, the schools of Hamilton
could be carried on only about half the
year before the available funds would
be exhausted. The general sentiment
among our taxpayers, however, is to
completely ignore the ruling of the SUI
preme court, and pay the proposed tax,
making it a voluntary contribution. This
course. their loyalty to the interests of
our boys and girls prompt them to pur-
sue. and this will probably be the manner
in which the embarrassing situation will
be relieved in this county.

MISS GOULD'S GLORY.

Some people of the effete east claim
that, as many widows gave their mites
to the cause of humanity, they are OPP
posed to any public recognition of the
eminent services performed in the late
war by Miss Helen Gould.
Her generosity and tender solicitude
will long be remembered by the men
of the Santiago campaign and those
who endured official neglect in Ayers
peace camps. Public recognition of her
services, personal and financial. which
were greater than those of any other
young woman in the country, would
not discount, in the least, the work Of
the hundreds of women who did their
part in their way and according to their
opportunities.
A correspondent of the New York
Times takes this view when he says:
when a general or a soldier pressed
members of the regiment say, 1T isn't
just; in our places we did as well as
he?" Do they not rather glory in the
commentator given those who are
prominent in serving the common
cause? The illustration seems fair.
Money is opportunity. The mind to
use it we'll is a gift. In an age smit-
ten with selfshness, display, extrava-
gance, and waste, it is a positive joy to
see fortunes in wise and generous
hands; it is next best to having a for
tune ones self. Perhaps rich folks do
not appreciate this particular means of
giving pleasure.
Generosity is not shown alone in
giving. There is the generosity of re-
ceiving. Are we not all grateful for
every bit of balm carried to the hurt
of our army? If the bearer is Clara
Barton or Miss Gould or Miss Wheeler
leaders of organized work-or the
quiet followers, or the chance traveller
giving food and money to stranded
volunteers-to one and all we can say
a personal, Thank you; God bless you"

WARS AND FINANCES.

Upon the heels Of one story of Euro
pean complications treads another
Newspapers are discussing the proba-
bilities of an immediate outbreak on the
part of France, based upon 4 dispatch
saying that the French are arming and
assembling at the coast towns, and that
the English are thronging the shooting
galleries and devoting all their spare
time to target practice.
Just as the public is about to accept
this as the actual condition of affairs,
along comes another foreign letter say
ing that the French government is in
the British market for a $4,000, 900
loan, measured in dollars. reversing
her recent attitude over the Fashoda
incident, and warbling forth her pecun-
larry solicitation as gently as it were
any sucking dove, as the New York
Tribune puts it.
France is amply good for that amount
and a great deal more. And the fact
that it is stated that the loan is wanted
for the improvement of her navy, and
that Great Britain hasn't the slightest
purpose, shows that the preparations
for immediate war between the two
powers is confined to paper.
France has several irons in the fire
just now. After the vindication of JUS
tice and the assertion of the suprean-
acy of civil authority in time of peace,
France viii be under the absolute ne
cessity of reforming her national
finances.
While France is one of the richest, or
thriftiest countries in the world, it is
badly involved and would be greatly
embarrassed in the event of war with
a formidable power like Great Britain.
The French people are burdened with
taxes and an eXtraYagant army al
ready, and they are looking forward to
a successful exposition at Paris next
year, with the arrangements of which
a war would seriously interfere.
To meet the expenses of the war with
Prussia and the enormous tribute ex-
acted by the Germans. a debt was in
CURED which now amounts to nearly
$500, COO, 0OO-by far the largest nation
al debt ever incurred by any country
in the world. In 1870 it was only a lit
tie more than one-third as large. Then
it was not difficult to borrow all the
money that it needed. 1t is not so easy
now. That England is willing to adj
vance the, sum required for immediate
uses is certainly great accommodation
to France.
The treasury is put to the test to

FOUND 1T EVERYWHERE.

When the complaints of the putrid
food furnished the bravest soldiers by
the richest nation on earth, became so
emphatic and so frequent that the war
department was obliged to take cog
nizance of the matter, Inspector Gen
eral Breckenridge was permitted to in
vestigate.
When he began to uncover unsavory
contracts and still less savory supplies
of food supplied by concessionaires do
ing business under sanction of the
csmmissary department, Aiger became
alarmed.
At least he relieved Inspector Cen
eral Breckenridge and sent him to
Cuba on an entirely different assign
ment
No investigation that Investigated
was wanted by the war department.
Those were the indications.
But thereby hangs a tale. General
Breckenridge found lot of embalmed
beef in Cuba and he so reported.
What is Alger to do with such a
man? Is there no place to send him
to that he will find no trace of Eagan's
incompetence, Ayers infamy. McKin-
ley's stupidity?
Why doesn't the war embarrassing
commission censure General Breckin-
ridge for something or other?
1t would surely relieve Ayers peace
of mind to have them do it.

AND NOW THE WOMEN.

What does this mean? Has the
Woman's Republican club done some
thing without first asking permission
of our snC1 ming contemporary?
Is il = machine organized and main
tanned for spite work and the aggrava-
ton of our neighbor? From its leading
editorial OF yesterday morning one
would think so.
The Tribune's article made no refer
ence 10 any overt act and, as usual,
assaulted the entire club without speci-
fying the individual or individuals
meant. After an ironical reference to
some mysterious action of the club, it
.'congratulates' the lady members, calls
one tool" and says that in working
q scheme for personal spite" they
have done themselves proud" 1t con-
tiruo.:

EAGAN'S SUSPENSION.

In dealing with Eagan President Nc
Kinley rose to the occasion. Although
he humored Secretary Alger to the ex-
tent of committing the permanent dis
missal sentence imposed by the court
martial, he did the next best thing.
He suspended the embalmed black
guard for six years, which covers the
period he would be allowed TO serve
anyhow under the age limit.
This amounts to a dismissal, but the
softer term of suspension is used, ow-
ing to Eagan's gallantry some thirty
years ago, or before he became vicious
and childish.
The presidents order likewise con-
tanned a severe reprimand. Mr.. McKin-
ley dealt wisely with Eagan.

Nothing in the way of human

the deaf, dumb and blind girl, whose
case has attracted the sympathy and
attention of the entire civilized world

art museum, says the Worcester Ga
zette where she inspected the Greek
casts. She was mounted on step lad
der, and with fingers which seemed to
see and hear took in the beauties Of
ancient sculpture, while the students
in the institution stood about and Won
dered. She knew of nearly all the
statues before her visit to the museum,
and discussed them intelligently. When
she needed explanation she reached for
the hand of a friend, who spelled into
her fingers what she wanted to know
It was a scene full of pathos and,
withal a world of encouragement to
her fellow creatures, the use of whose
senses are not denied them.

revenue from all sources has to be set
aside for the service of the debt. In
Great Britain the debt service is "A per
cent of the revenue. In Germany it is
only per cent. Those countries can,
therefore, make larger appropriations
for army and navy than France, or can
make equal appropriations far more
easily. Nor does there seem to be any
room for material increase of the total
revenue in France. All ordinary sources
of revenue are now taxed to the utmost
endurable limit, and the finance min
lister is driven to all conceivable shifts.
This does not indicate that France is
ready for war. Nor would it seem rea-
sonabIe to suppose that Great Britain
would loan s5OOOO,OOO to France with
which to make an attack upon English
cities

peal was made by Spain which France
received with favor, as it was all to
the honor of France. and the govern
ment could not refuse it's assistance,

The result he added, was "a moral
advantage for France which no one

which would instantly strike the people
as a dastardly outrage.
What's it all about, anyway? Is no
