The Bounty Question.

Much complaint is heard from stock
men from hereabout owing to the raw
age and depredations committed by
wolves and coyotes on calves, yearlings
and in no rare case, steers and COWS
have been badly bitten when not killed,
says the Forsyth Times. This ques-
ton of getting rid of notwithstanding
animals is hard one. A general feel
ing is prevalent throughout these parts
that the amended bounty passed by
the last legislature comes far short of
solving the problem. 1t is argued with
good deal of reason that less wolves
or coyotes will be destroyed under the
present law than under the three dollar
bounty. No wolfer can or will make
special effort to capture wolves even at
the tiVe-dollar bounty. Should he do
it his efforts will be repaid by catching
coyotes at a less bounty and no more
wolves than formerly. Eliminating this
as factor the restrictions as to having
lower and upper jaw retained makes it
next to impossible for any sef-respect-
ing person to hunt them during the
warm season. The Times takes the po-
sition that the usefulness of the bounty
law has been impaired by senseless re-
strictions and the inequality of the
bounty paid on wolves and coyotes.

WHAT THE PRESS OF MONTANA
FINDS TO TALK ABOUT

Up to date the war has cost about
two hundred and fifty millions in hard
cash, says the Flathead Herald-Journal.
A big sum of money, but not large
enough to pay for the lives of the brave
American boys that have been blotted
out either in battle or by disease. What
have we received for this huge expen-
diture of the peoples money? A host of
new generals, a violated constitution.
lot of broken promises made to our
army of gallant volunteers. Stop and
think for a moment and calculate
what could have been done with all
the money this unnatural and unneces-
sary war has cost, toward developing
our own country. Divided equally
among the states, Montana's share
would have been more than five and Il
half millions of dollars. Think what
that sum would accomplish if properly
expended towards developing the waste
places Of Montana, toward making new
homes and furnishing remunerative
employment to her people. True, the
president has no authority to order any
such an expenditure of money in Mon
tana, neither has he the authority to
do so in the Philippines or my other
remote country, but he could call the
paid servants of the country together
and submit his views and recommended
lions and be authorized to act for the
good of the people of this country. ill
stead of plunging them into debt or
burdening them with taxes to pay for
fighting people on the other side of the
earth,

Klondike Returns.

Two-thirds of the men who went TO
the Klondike region i'm 1898 returned
empty handed, says the Helena Herald.
These persons could doubtless have
done better if they had gone into the
mining localities in the United States.
The fact that Montana, Colora 10,
California, South Dakota and the rest
of the states in which gold mining is
going on are increasing their yield con-
stantly is IN enc ence that Americans

SYDNEY, IN AUSTRALIA.
1t Is Rapidly Developing as an Impor-
tant City.

Sidney Letter in New York Times
Although sydney is precluded from
becoming the Australian federal cap
ital, it will always remain the Austral-
ian commercial metropolis. With San
Francisco, Chicago and Melbourne,
sydney affords an interesting example
of the rapid growth of towns of the first
rank under modern conditions.
The cities of the old world are, ac-
cordins to the general rule, the result
of centuries of the peaceful or turbu
lent aggregation of human atoms, of
growth in wealth, and of expansion to
meet the circumstances of national and
urbane life. Sydney, like the three
cities above mentioned, has no such
heightened record. 1t seems but the
other day that Captain Philip pitched
his tent on the verdant slopes now COW
cred with warehouses, mercantile es-
adjustments and pubic buildings, or
that the harbor was filled with deserted
shipping whose crews had become at
tracted by the t,dngs of the newly dis
covered gold fields.
At the present moment sydney ranks
as the third city in the empire, esti-
mated on the basis of the annual rat
ing value. 1t possesses a population Of
about 400, 600, including that of the SUI
burbs, the capitalized value of the
rlteable property being nearly $50 O00.-
business premises. covering an area of
nearly $1,000 acres. The annual rating
of the whole of the metropolitan prop
erty is nearly G5,000,000, a Asum con-
siderably in excess of that of the larg-
est British cities and towns, with the
solitary exception of the English me-
tropolis. Such facts tell their own
story, and indicate the rapid progress
made by what has been described as
'one of the most remarkable cities in
the world
In 1898 the total number of vessels
entered and cleared at the port of sgd
ney was 3, $50, representing a tonnage of
4,305,31S, the amount of shipping dues
collected being ES4.540. The total i'm
ports of every kind amounted to ga
433, $50, and the exports to G27,64S, III.
forming a total trade of E52,12l ST.
against f45 495. 422 in 1897, and G43,571.-
$50 in 1896. An able writer says; AL
though in point of population and
wealth Sydney is not to be compared
with London, yet the visitor never fails
to be struck with its metropolitan air,
and for the same reasons as in the case
of the city on the Thames, though, of
course, on reduced scale" No wonder
the citizens are proud of their sur
roundings, which have made their city
not alone the metropolis of Federated
Australia, but also of the southern hem

Our Volunteers.

1t is quite evident from the letters
We have seen that the Montana boys
want to come home, says the Bozeman
Chronicle. They have had their full
share of fighting-120 days on the fir
ing line is quite enough for these who
enjoy fighting. But the officials over
there seem slow about letting them go
they seem to depend somewhat upon
the Montana as well as the Kansas
boys, and are slow to bid them farewell.
They have put out most alluring prom
ises, but still the boys hunger for home.
In this state the pay involved does not
count, and as 1t would be violent
strain to call fighting the Filipinos
patriotism, the boys want immediate
release. The regulars sent to the Phil
ippines are raw recruits. 1t Is going to
take some time to shape them up. In
the meantime the Americans can take
a city at heavy loss, evacuate it on
account of lack Of men, when the Fill
pinos return and the thing has to be
done all over again. 1t is like digging
out a well and filing it up again-it
accomplishes nothing, and American
soldiers tire of the job. Even with a
tremendous force it will take several
years to conquer the natives.

silver and the Democracy.

The silver sentiment in the demo-
cratic party is to-day as strong as it
ever was, says the Dillon Examiner. 1t
is stronger by far than it was when
the national convention met in 1896. and
the silver forces wrested the control of
the convention and of the national
party organization from the Cleveland
goldites. The entire national party ma
chinery is in the hands of true and
tried silver men. and every well-inform-
ed Eastern politician, regardless of
politics. admits that the next demo-
cratic national convention will I'M
doubtedly contain an overwhelming
majority of silver men. Yet. in spite
of these well-known facts. there are
to-day in Montana a number of re-
publican journals, heretofore styling
themselves silver republican" who
pretend to believe and who attempt to
make their readers believe that the
democratic party has forsaken silver.
They are simply trying to find a con-
venient pretext for Topping back" into
the goldbug fold, which, as a matter
of fact, they have never left. Their
antics are only deceiving those who
want to be deceived, voters who are
in the same boat with these alleged
silver republican organs.

The mere fact of wholesale election
frauds in Philadelphia is not so serious as
the state of the public mind regarding it.
Outside of John Wanamaker and few re-
formers like Herbert Welsh, and one or
two newspapers like the Ledger, no one
seems to care. Mr.. Wanamsker writes in
a communicationsto a New York paper:
SIN Philadelphia we have not had an
honest election for many years, and the
debauchery of the ballot has acquired the
system and precision of science with the
dominant so-ealled Republican machine.
This has not been the growth of day or a
year, but has been perfected by steady,
systematic development of the most minute
details of original ingenuity. The machine
has educated its followers in election crime,
rewarded them according to their perfec,
ton in fraudulent arts and extoled and
honored the leadership which best knew
how to devise and avail itself of corrupt
practices and protect and promote its de,
based tools and disciples"

The New Gold Sta,r.

The contest between Colorado and Cali
fornia as to which is the greatest gold-pro-
ducing state has been effectualy settled by
the official figures of the director of the
mint, which gives the Centennial state over
One-third the entire gold yield of the
United States and so per cent more than
California was able to turn out. The 1898
product of Colorado was $23, 1875, 800.
while California has only SIS, 637, 600 to
her credit. To be sure, Colorado furnished
SO 104, 200 in 1897 to California's $l4,-
6lS,300, but there was a possibility that
this advantage might be overcome the
next year. The official figures give Colo
RADIO such an enormous superiority that
there can be no longer any question as to
the leader. Nearly all the rich new strikes
are made in Colorado now, though Califor-
MIA mines are still steadily maintaining their
yield. The character of gold mining has
completely changed from the early DAYS
when California yielded enormously from
placer mines which we're quickly exhaust
ed. The modern gold mine turns out vast
quantity of low grade ore from which the
precious metal is extracted, and these ores
are to be found in Colorado and her sister
group of states rather than in California
