A CONVICT ESCAPES.
He Dropped OFF of Clay Train at Caraleigh
Mills

The pententiary lost a convict yester-
day afternoon. He is a colored man, Ed.
Johnson by name, sent UP from Cumber-
land county about year ago for a four
years term.
He was, when ne escaped, on a train
coming from the clay holes, where they
had been making brick. These holes are
about six miles from the penitentiary
or five miles beyond Caraleigh Mills. The
train was bringing in four cars of clay
and the convicts were on this. When it
reached Caraleigh the train stopped and
there, it is supposed, Johnson drn )ped
down between two cars and thus escaped
notice of the guard.
He is a young, chunky, heavy-set ne
gro. Over his right eye is flesh wound
n ade by knife cut. A reward viii be
paid for his capture.

JAMES D. MNEIL IN THE RACE.
Says He Will Make no Active Campaign For
the Nomination

l asked Capt. James d. Mcneil, of
Cumberland, who was in the city last
night, if he was a candidate for Corpora
tiCn Commissioner He said that he was
being supported by friends in Charlotte,
Cumberland and elsewhere, and that
while he would make no active campaign
for the nomination, he would, of course,
feel it an honor to be chosen. Referring
to the Mecklenburg matter Mr.. Mcneil
said he had received letters from a num-
Der of friends in Charlotte stating that
so far as their votes were concerned, they
knew they were voting for him, and not
for Franklin Mcneil. He referred to
letter written by Mr.. H. l.. Cook, Demo
cratic chairman in Cumberland, to the
Charlotte Observer, which is as follows:
Mr.. COOKS CARD.
To the Editor: / notice in this morn
ing's News and Observer an article cop
led from your paper, in which it is said
that the ballots for corporation commits
sioner read: James d. McNeil1,'' but
that it was mistake, etc. How that may
be is a question for your people, but you
state that Capt. James d. Mcneil is not
a candidate, when as matter of fact he
is candidate and has the best of pros
poets OF receiving the nomination, be-
cause his fitness is we'll recognized wher-
ever known. / enclose you a letter sent
out by his friends announcing his candi-
dacy. AS you will see, he is strongly en-
dorsed by his own people, and by refer
ence to the columns of your paper in Feb
ruary, 1899, you. will see he had strong
endorsement from leading citizens of
Mecklenburg and the city of Charlotte. l
that they voted for him Understandings.
trust you will correct the impression that
has gone out that he is not candidate.

whether Mr.. Bryan, the senate commit

not. The same thing is true of the free
coinage issue, the tariff issue or any of
the thousand and one other political and
moral questions upon which men and
parties differ. The Bee does not ask it's
readers to accept certain views because
this, that or the other fellow says they
are right. The Bee assumes that its
readers are intelligent, Independent
thinkers who are able to judge for them
selves. It will endeavor to place the
facts before them with such comment as
it deems the situation calls for, and if
those who read the Bee are impelled to
with the views expressed herein
the Bee will be duly gratitied. 1t does
not, however, assume as the Libby News
does, that the voters of Flat

ton in all localities, even in the humid
climates of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri
the Bee must confess more or less igno-
rance. In any event, we do not propose
to enter upon discussion of the matter
with such famed and experienced irri
gationist as the editor of the Husband
man.
All that the Bee is particular about in
this connection is to have it known that
there is no more necessity for irrigation
in the Flathead valley than there is in
the humid climates of Iowa, Illinois
and Missouri and that is an advantage
no other part of Montana possesses.

THE The method by which a
ROBBER protective tariff law robs the
TARIFF. consumer and taxpayer for
the benefit of certain private business
ventures, is aptly illustrated in an adver-
tisement for campaign hats published in
the New York Sun by the army quarter
master. The department wants $500
campaign hats and goes on to say that
preference will be given to articles of
domestic production or manufacture,
conditions of quality and price Gnclud-
ing in the price of foreign productions
or manufactures the duty thereon) being
equal"
The point of the advertisement is in
the parenthesis. The foreign bidders
hats must not only be as good as the
domestic article. but they must also be
offered for at least the amount of the
duty, less than the American article.
The government doesn't have to pay the
duty, but it will do so in this instance
and allow the American hat manufac-
turer to pocket it. The taxpayer puts
up the money in the shape of war taxes.
To state the case more clearly suppose
the contention of the protectionist is
correct and the foreigner pays the tax,
and the tariff tax on hats is 20 per cent
advalorem and that campaign hats are
worth dollar apiece in London and
New York. 1t would appear that the
of location would be enough
for the New York dealer. Other things
being equal. he has the advantage of the
ocean freights. But that is not enough.
He must have the still greater advantage
of the 20 per cent tax, which, on $500
worth of hats, would be s17OO. Suppose
the freight from London to New York
to 10 per cent of the value of
of the shipment, that, added to the duty,
gives the New York hat man an advan-
tage over the London dealer of $3.50 on
this particular government contract.
Uncle Sam, with Bill Mckinley as his
chief adviser, is willing to pay the extra
$3.50 from philanthropic motives and
for the benefit of the Infant industries"
He makes the farmers of Flathead coun
ty put up their share of the donation to
the hat maker in the shape of stamp
taxes to carry on the war;" and in tariff
taxes to laid the infant industries"

OF insists that there is
IRRIGATION. ample rains in the
flathead regions to insure good crops.
We hope this is true but we will venture
that there is not a thousand acres of
land under cultivation on the Flathead
valley that could not have been made to
yield from fourth to half more by
irrigation than it will yield unirrigated.
This is true of the best farm in the
humid climates of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, and it is true of Montana Also
If the non-irrigated farms of the Flat
head district, and we believe that nearly
all of the farmers of that entire region
are of that class, would yield better by
irrigation, it is no discredit to the coun-
try whatever for the man of average in

COTTON.
New York, Sept. 24-Today's cot
ton market was a bull affair. At no
time during the session was there the
slightest indication of weakness, and
in no instance was there an attempt
made to bring about reaction from
the opening price. However, specula-
ton was restricted mainly to the tai
emit" and failed to reach the huge pro-
portions which were so characteristic
of the bull markets of two weeks
ago.
The opening was steady, with prices
up IL to 10 points, this being largely
a sympathetic move, Liverpool having
advanced far beyond expectations.
Good buying for foreign account, an
indisposition of local parties to sell
and q scare of pit shorts added to
the firm undertone. After the first
half hour business settled down to q
slow room trade with the market
showing little in the way of interest
ing developments. Prices reacted a
shade. though the decline was due
more to an absence of spirited buying
than to special pressure of cotton for
sale. The closing cables were bullish
and the news from the Southwest was
regarded as strongly adverse to the
crop. Unfavorable crop reports, pre-
dictions for a bullish Government re-
port tomorrow, reports that spot cot
ton in the South was rapidly harden
ing again on urgent export demand,
and apprehensions of another bulge
in Liverpool tomorrow before our
opening, started furry OF covering
which soon grew into a full-hedged
bull movement. Prices advanced
slowly at first, but later with lncreas-
ing rapidity, until at the close the
market was firm, with the advance
extended to 10 to "A points. On the
late Improvement Wall street was a
heavy buyer of the October and Jan
uary options. The South purchased
the winter months freely, and repre-
sentatives of prominent foreign
houses were actively engaged IN Sc
curing the list in general as matter
of precaution. The undercurrent OF
sentiment at the close was strongly
bullish. with the public once more
showing intense interest in the staple.

substantially over that of Saturday
at the close. Weakness persisted in
some stocks, and the announcement
of a small failure in the afternoon put
stop to the advancing tendency of
prices, so that the closing was heavy
and dull, with only few net gains
remaining. The special points of weak
ness We're Peoples Gas and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, the former dropping
below SO before the close, and the lat
ter touching 4S, both being the low
prices on the present movement. This
late weakness had sympathetic eff
feet elsewhere among the Specialthes'
American Tobacco, American Sugar
and the New York public utilities be-
ing notably affected. The Steel stocks
were prominent in the early strength
of the market on account of a settle
ment for the coming year of the wage
schedule.
Several stocks in the group were
marked up from to liz. Tennessee
Coal and Iron came under pressure
on the advance and was marked down
points, but rallied over l point and
closed with a net gain OF IA. The
whole group yielded to some extent
with the later weakness in the mar
ket.
The rally in the market was due
i'm no small part to covering demand
from the shorts and to- the absence
from the Board hoom of some of the
influential bear traders on account of
the Jewish holiday. The resumption
of mining in some of the coal mines
had a, rather bracing effect ON the
market and published estimates OF
the available reserves of coal already
mined detracted somewhat from UNI
easiness over the effects of the strike,
but there was no radical change in the
spirit of the speculation and the un-
dertone OF sentiment continued de
cidedly apprehensive of the future of
the money market. The failure of
stock exchange firm was unimportant
in itself but the exhaustion Of GUS
toners margins and their failure to
extend them, which was assigned as
the cause, attracted some attention.
In the money market interest rates
were not changed, but the outgo to
the interior continues on a liberal
scale. The growth of stringency in
the foreign markets, especially Lon
don and Berlin, promises renewed
pressure upon New York for gold,
although the bills of commercial eX-
change in the market today were suf-
ficient to depress the sterling rate a
