Car-fare.

Have you ever watched the warfare
OF two women over car.fare?
Each aflame with generous feeling,
Depth of heart and purse revealing;
Each inspired with gentle horror
Lest the other should pay for her.
But take note-the more insistent
OF the combatants persistent,
She whose hand most promptly snatches
At her pocket-book's stiff catches,
She who murmurs: Don't be strange dear,
It's all right, I've got the change, dear!"
She though am sad to say it
Always lets the other pay it!
Madeline S. Bridges in Puck.

Lord Charles Berresford in
speaking of the Chinese says:
l went to all the bankers, bankers
OF all sorts and kinds. l went to
the merchants Of your country, and
to the Russians, and the French,
and to all of them, and asked each
for his opinion Of the Chinese. I
got but one reply: "They are
scrupulously honest traders. A
Chinese merchants word is as
good as his bond. One gentleman
who trades in silk said: 81 will
tell you my case. ordered
$4,000 worth OF silk at six months
order. Between the time of deli
very and the time of my order,
without any documentary evidence,
the Chinese never put his hand to
note, but between the time of the
order and the time of delivery
there was a tax put on, and there
were other circumstances that
happened that made the Chinaman
lose on his contract, yet he never
said one word, but his delivery was
to the very day."

UP through the soil where the grass Is
snrin ninn

UP through the soil where the grass is
springing,
To flaunt green flags in the golden light,
Each little sprout its mate Is bringing.
lOh, one little sprout were lonely slightly
We wake at dawn with the silvery patter
Ofbird notes falling like showers Of rain,
And need but listen to prove their chatter
The amorous echo of loves sweet pain.
In the buzz Of the bee and the strong steed's
neighing,
In the bursting bud and the hearts
unrest,
The voice Of Nature again is saying,
In Gods own motto, that love Is best;
For this the season Of wooing and mating,
The heart of Nature calls out for its own,
And oh, the sorrow of souls that are waiting
The soft unfolding Of spring alone!

Gods Motto.

This is the season of wooing and mating,
The heart of Nature calls out for its own
And God have pity on those who are watt
ing
The fair unfolding of Spring alone,
For the fowls fly north in pairs together
And two by two are the leaves unfurled,
And the whole intent of the wind and
weather
Is to waken love in the thought of the
world.

Prohibition and Temperance.
BY ANNE M. PRESCOTT.

There are found to be better and
wiser methods of dealing, with this
terrible evil of drunkenness"
Methods of dealing, with this ter
rible evil of drunkenness"
From gentleman owning a
vineyard in Southern California,
and employing only French wine
makers, (his wife being a French
lady and he himself having made
his home in France for more than
twenty years., much was gathered
of sound information on the sub
ject of wine-making and wine
drinking, in that country and in
California as well.
He said that he had never
known on his place drunkenness,
nor intemperance; that the men
were allowed all the wine they
wished and that they always took
wine with their meals, women and
children as we'll, at their choice.
That in all the years, he had
known OF but one man over step
ping the mark and that in that
case, the foreman (French) did not
need to demonstrate for his fellow
workmen reproved him. "Was
your father drunkard that you
drink your wine clear, and so
much at a timer" He said that
their universal rule was, one-third
water. 1t mattered not how little
man earned some part of it was
put aside, invariably. Is it any
wonder that the country of France
to-day owns the richest treasury of
the civilized world, and that her
people are healthy, temperate and
happv-La belle France!
"Prohibition is not temperance
neither is total abstinence" Have
salt in yourselves"
We, Americans, prohibitionists
(and allow us to say we are not now
thinking altogether of the few
born and bred in Hawaii but of
the large number possibly out of the
many millions of people in Our
own country are the citizens of
new and young, but no one wishes
to deny, great country-great
physically, materially, morally and
intellectually. All straight? Very
well. Granted. Just all that;
but here it is: We often fancy
probably, that we know all, know
all that is to be known, all
that has been known, and all that
ever will or can be known, by any
order of being whatever, through
out all eternity. And there my
dear friends, much as we love you
all, we say you are little mite too
sure now and again. There is not
only much of the true wisdom OF
America; but there are men, also
of the salt Of the earth" Eight OF

1t does not enter into the
eternal fitness OF things" this
hateful term "Proiibition," in any
civilized and highly enlightened
country on this planet-no. And
we know whereof we speak. 1t is
not worshipped nor even tolerated
indeed, it is now often consid-
cred an effete and threadbare sub
ject for debate by scientific logi-
clans and statesmen. 1t is simply
an irritant, an ureer of the very
evil it sometimes honestly, doubt
less, seeks to allay. But as it is
proved sophistry the whole argu-
ment, consequently falls to the
ground
We do propose to give up
our freedom, nor toss it over, one
inch of it, for glass of wine nor
swallow of ean-de-vie, to crafty
the short-lived vanity and un-
sound reasoning, the worse than
wasted time, of mistaken men and
women. AS we have said pro-
hibition is now cold-shouldered
and thrown aside by the great
leaders of debate-It is dead and
buried except in far-away and
isolated spots. There will
always be intemperance in
the world - Intemperance in
other, many things, besides the
too much drinking of fermented
wines and liquors; too much eat
ing and too often even in Lent and
on Fridays of rich food, and
drinking Of tea, coffee, etc, intem-
perance in reading illegitinate
books and newspapers, playing
and singing illegitimate songs

cation in speech, manner, dress;
staggering in Sound doctrine"
and in true loyalty to God and
man.
Yes, we are sorry to know that
there will always be evils in the
world unto the end; there will be
drunken men as there will be liars,
and law and order breakers; ag-
nostics - infdels and atheists,
false teachers and falser gods.
But. 10 the days are Fastening on,
BY prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years,
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth
shall oven,
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back

The payment of subsidies, or bounties,
or equivalent aids, to nations shipping
never benefits an individual or corpor-
alton as it does the nation. Reduced
freight rates and increased openings for
a nations surplus pro lucts in foreign
markets is one of the direct advantages.
Germany paid out to German steamship
lines 44,3O6,548 marks in eleven years,
without which payments the lines in
question would have actually lost 49,
565, ,112 marks. AS it was, the steamship
lines really did lose 5,25S, ,564 marks dur
ing the eleven years. During the same
time. however, German exports to the
countries to which the subsidized
steamers ran, enormously increased.
German workingmen and manufacturers
we're the great benefclaries. Since then
vast trade has been established by
these lines to Australia and Asia. Ger
many now has strong foothold IN those
growing markets. There might have
been no development whatever of this
German commerce had not the govern
ment subsidies made possible extremely
low freight rates, which gave German
manufacturers the chance they needed
and availed themselves of.

It is pretty generally conceded in this
section that Powell county will never
materialize. The bill might pass the
senate, and may also pass in the house,
but it will not be able to receive vote
sufficient to overcome the governors
veto. Some are inclined to believe that
Governor Smith would not do such
thing but all realize that there is good
ground for such an act, and the gov
ernor might feel justified in vetoing the
measure. 1t is true, the county seat
of Deer Lodge county is situated at its
southern extremity and the residents of
the northern part of the county are
somewhat at disadvantage, but the
question arises, how much would it
benefit those same residents if the
county were divided and the county
seat located at Deer Lodge? 1t would
practically make no difference whatever
and the county seat would still be at
the southern extremity of the county.
There is but one way to remedy this in
convenience, and that is to leaye the
county seat at Anaconda. The northern
portion of the county could be cut off
and added partly to Granite and Flat
head counties. A movement has been
made in that direction and it seems the
most reasonable solution of the prob
lem. The towns of Helmville, Ovando,
and the surrounding country are natur-
ally tributary to Phillpsburg, and the
residents of that section would much
prefer that it become part of Granite
county.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The revival of our merchant marine is
primarily question of national defense.
The nation needs the ships and citizen
seamen as a naval resource, as our war
with Spain has amply demonstrated.
The question is, shall the nation pay for
such resource? If it does, then private
capital will embark in shipowning, our
citizens will turn to seafaring careers,
and then we shall have the ships and the
men at the nations call in case of war.
The fact that private capital will expect
to reap profit from investment in
American ships IS mere incident; We
may be sure that if there is no profit
there will be 10 investment, and there
fore nothin, for the government to
pay.
If the United States expects to have a
merchant marine such as other nations
possess, available to US for the same pur-
poses that it is available to th I'm, we
must expect to pay for 1T, as other ma
tions do, for the help and defense the
merchant marine will be to the nation.

COMM ERCE AND SILVER.

The policy of expansion is daily grow
ing more popular, and it's influences are
already quite noticeable, especially on
the Pacific coast and silver producing
states. Since the Hawaiian islands have
been annexed, our commerce on the Pa
cific has grown wonderfully. and during
one week recently fifty vessels were
loading for or on the way to the islands
from San Francisco This represents a
vast amount of shipping for one harbor
to the Hawaiian islands. for several
steamship lines plying between Puget
sound and Honolulu, who have also
baen taxed to their full capacity, must
not be overlooked. The freight ship
ments for the islands coming from the
east have of late been so heavy that
shippers from the Pacific coast have
found it difficult to obtain space for
their freight. The three steamship
lines operating between San Francisco
and Honolulu have been unable to han
die the freight between those points
lately, and additional vessels are needed
to meet the demands Of the rapidly
growing commerce of the Pacific.
A number of new steamships are now
being built for the Pacific trade, and
every indication points towards great
increase of our commerce with Asiatlc
countries as soon as peace is restored in
the Philippine islands. The revival in
silver mining has been greatly noticeable
in the sllyer-producing states, and in
vestments in that line are again consid-
cred desirable and are being sought for
by capitalists Our business relations
with the Far East will in the future be
closer than ever before, and since the
medium of exchange with those coun-
countries must be principally silver, the
result cannot be otherwise than of great
benefit to the silver producing states. A
very material advance in the price of
silver is anticipated, and judging from
the heavy exports of silver bullion from
the United states for several weeks past,
this belief is shared by many financers
of Europe.

-balling when engaged IN occa-
slonally, is a harmless sport; but it is too
often carried to extremes, and thus be-
comes menace to ladies and endangers
property. Our rising generation has,
perhaps, in several instances of late, de-
served unmistakable reproach, as the
sport has been converted into nuis-
ance and peaceable citizens have been
obliged to appeal to the authorities for
relief. Boys will be boys, and those of
younger years may eXcusable to some
extent for not knowing any better, but
when men who have finished cutting
their wisdom teeth and have families of
their own growing up, set no better eX-
ample, then the condition is to be de-
plored. Several windows have been
broken on Broadway within the past few
days; several ladies have narrowly es-
capped being hit by snowballs thrown
Wi great force while on their way to
the postofiice, and complaints have re-
peatedly been made to the authorities
for relief. Even patience in some cases
ceases to be virtue, and while the boys
might have deserved a reprlmand, we
are inclined to believe that the nuisance
wall abate as soon as fitting example is
made OF few of the older boys who
daily hold fort IN the vicinity of the
postoiiice. At any rate, the nuisance
should be stopped.

State Senator Hannah wants to open
the field of competition for county print
ing to eastern printing concerns. The
proposition is so unreasonable that press
comment is unnecessary to render defeat
certain. Montana printers cannot COM
pete with eastern concerns, and the pas

clerical senator would mean that all
county printing be done in the east

Since the Philippine islands have been
acquired by the United States, the city
of Honolulu is found to be the most cen
trally located in Uncle Sans domain.
In calling the public's attention to this
fact the Anaconda Standard asks, "Why
not move the capital to Honolulu" If
the esteemed Standard is SO magnani-
nous in its views, why not apply the
same closer to home? The county seat
of Deer Lodge county, for example, is
located near the southern boundary line
of the county. Helmville is the most
central point of Deer Lodge county

1t appears to be high time for those
Democrats who are continually harpipg
against the policy of expansion, and IN
the next breath asserting their belief in
free silver at 16 to one, to take gentle
hint and adopt a different course. II
they are as loyal to the silver cause as
they profess to be, why should they be
opposed to policy which promises the
most expedient relief? Nothing less
than free coinage itself could be more
beneficial 10 the silver producing states,
or advance the price of the white metal
to any greater degree, than our extended
commerce with Asia and the islands OF
the Pacific. The Philippine islands be-
ing in our possession will give us de-
cided advantage over other nations in
building up large trade and establish
ing great shipping industry between
the two continents. Silver is practi-
cally the only medium of exchange in
the Asiatic countries, and the establish.
ment of closer commercial relations will
have pleasing effect upon the silver
mining industry in the United States.
The Democratic press of this state is
either insincere in it's silver arguments
or else is prompted by party prejudice in
its opposition to expansion. Judging
from the expressions Of the leading Dem
ocratic publications, the silver issue is
of no particular importance with their
party, and the paramount principle is to
oppose everything considered favorably
by the Republicans and to harass the
present administration as much as pos
sible.
