BICYCLE TIRES
Will be Manufactured
Cheap This Year.
A New Compo itiJi invented by 3. F.
Goodrich Company.

Always experimenting and inventing,
the management of the b. #. Goodrich
Company is placing new articles on the
market continually.
Just now an invention In the way Of
a composition for rubber tires Is being
completed. and IT is said that expert
mcnts have been eminently satisfac-
tory. The new tire promises to revolu-
tionize the trade, especially In bicycle
tires.
A first class pair of bicycle tires
costs 81. but it is stated that pair
of the new tires. to be manufactured
by the Goodrich Company, will be re-
tailed at not more than $3 or 81. Very
little Information. relative to the in
yention, will be given out by the COM
pany.
1t is claimed for the invention thai

BRILLIANT POPULISTIC SCHEME.

Realizing that fusion is at an end
in their own state and that without it
those who still subscribe to their po-
litical belief may never hope to hold
Office again, the late populistic leaders
in Nebraska have conceived a brilliant
scheme to enable themselves to live at
the public expense. The scheme in
wolves nothing less than a huge colon
ization of Oklahoma. Last week a
number of the more prominent popu-
lists of the state held a meeting at
Omaha at which the movement was
i~naugurated. A committee of three
was appointed to visit Oklahoma for
the purpose of gathering information
and prospecting the ground. The

Not the least pleasing incident in
connection with the session of the
national irrigation congress is the
friendly spirit manifested by the press
Of the east. 1t is noticeable that many
of the larger and more influential
newspapers of the country beyond the
Mississippi evince deep interest in the
matter Of reclaiming the arid regions.
Their comments are indicative of
thorough understanding of the SUBJ
ject and complete realization of it's
Importance. The antagonism which
formerly found existence in that direc-
ton apparently has disappeared and
the congress may expect hearty sup
port from quarters from which until
recently came the strongest opposi-
tion. This result has been made pos
sible by the campaign of education
inaugurated a few years ago, a cam
paign which events now go to prove
was prompted by are sense and most
excellent judgment.

The Gazette regrets that the demo
Gratis of eastern Montana are inclined
to insist upon a change in the pro.
gramme of the Livingston Enterprise.
While they agree with that paper that
as a railroad man Senator Cullen
ranks high, they, nevertheless, consid-
er him available in every respect as a
proper man to represent, them in the
senate of the United States. When
the time m for giving expression
to their choice they may be relied up
on to do so in a name that will leave
no room for doubt.

BY WAY OF EXPLANATION.

Several days ago The Gazette con-
tanned all editorial calling into ques-
ton the qualifications of Mr.. W. W.
WEIGH, the state superintendent of
nation handed to The Gazette, and
which called forth the publication of
the article at the time, was what this
newspaper considered a most trust
worthy source, but we find that The
Gazette was misinformed and in JUS
tice to Mr.. Welsh we desire to say that
the newly elected state superintendent
graduated from the Huntsville (Texas)
state normal school in the class of
1882 and holds a diploma from that
institution.
While it is true that Mr.. WEIGH only
holds a second grade teachers certifi-
cate to teach in Yellowstone county,
this is explained by reason of the laws
of Montana prohibiting the issuing Of
first grade certificates to applicants,
except those who have taught school
successfully in the state 10 months
prior to the time of an examination
before a county superintendent. AS
MI. WEIGH was a new coLler in the
state at the time he applied for the
position as teacher of the public school
at Laurel in this county, it was upon
his W request that he passed the ex-
animation for a second grade %certifi-
cate. .'.. q.
The Gazette believes that it misrep-
resented Mr.. WEIGH on the information
it obtained some time ago on his edu-
~cational qualifications, and it, there
fore, wants to give him what credit is
due him as a teacher, basing its infor-
nation on his credentials and recon-
mendations now in Mr.. Welch's pos
session.

C"OMMENDABLE INTENTION.

One Of the important committees of
the house of representatives is that on
rivers and harbors. The committee
met yesterday to begin prepare
ton of the annual river and harbor
bill. Ordinarily this announcement
would occasion no remark, but the
statement which Mr.. Burton makes in
connection with it will cause dismay
to more than one member from ''away
back."~ He says that it is the inten-
ton of the committee to draw a strict
line between improvements which are
for the public good and those calcu-
lated to subserve only private inter-
ests. In other words, the committee
gives fair warming that it will not be
a party to the schemes of ambitious
representatives who expect to make
themselves "solid' with their constit-
uency by securing appropriations for
the improvement of streams whose
traffic is confined to the occasional
passage of a f1atboat or a skiff bur-
dened with the products of a market
gardner. Merito1ious measures will
receive the consideration due them,
but those having no other recommen-
dation than their value as vote makers
for men anxious for reelection will
find honorable interment in the waste
basket.
For the good of the country it is to
be hoped that the committee will adj
here to it's announced resolution, as
much of the past legislation in con-
n%ection with rivers and harbors is de-
cidedly odoriferous Of jobs and steals.

TWO PROPOSALS ACCEPTED.
Enjoys Agree on Propositions They
Once Rejected.

London, Nov. 26-Morrison, wiring
the Times from Pekin Sunday, says
that the foreign ENJOYS have agreed to
two proposals that were previously
rejected, owing to a lack of unanimity.
These are Sir Ernest Satow's proposal
that China should agree to a recast of
the commercial treaties and the italian
proposal that China should consent to
foreign financial control as a guaran-
tee of the indemnity. The delay in
the presentation Of the joint note is
due to postponement by the home gov
enments. This increases the difficult
ties of the position and aggravates the
~disfocation of trade and finance, es-
pecially the collection of inland v
nues. At the lowest estimate the in
demnity is computed at 60, 900, 900
pounds.

Without the slightest regard for Mr..
Bryan's reputation as a successful
prophet, this country continues to pile
up wealth at a rate which makes it
necessary for some Of the possessors of
it to help out England by taking its
loans. From present appearances by
the time the 'third battle'' is on for
eign bonds will be so common in this
country that even the victims of the
"crime of '73" will be drawing inter-
est on some of them.

JONES' SURPRISE.

So Jones is still staggering under
the burden of the surprise he claims
to have received on that eventful
Tuesday evening Of a few weeks ago.
His confession but confirms the trite
saying that some people are SO easily
surprised that everything that occurs
is a shock to their sensitive nervous
organizations. 1t was cruel Of the
leaders in the pivotal states to mislead
the old man the way they did, but
probably their deception was not will
full and simply the result of ignorance,
but of the inexcusable sort, for it is
hard to believe that men considered
sufficiently intelligent to be entrusted
with the management Of an important
political campaign should be possessed
of intellects as dense as he attributes
to the captains in the pivotal states.
However, the shock he sustained does
not appear to have been severe enough
to momentarily cause him to be for
getful Of the greatness Of Bryan. Be-
tween shocks he is able to collect his
scattered senses long enough to pro.
claim his unqualified belief that as a
great nan Bryan comes very near the
head Of the procession as organized in
this country. Such an unreserved
endorsement of his own opinion must
be grateful to Mr.. Bryan at this time,
Notwithstanding that it is an opinion
to which an overwhelming majority
of the American people declined to
subscribe. AS to the other statement
of the distinguished Arkansan, re-
lative to Mr.. Bryan's probable action
in the matter Of again accepting the
nomination were it to be rendered to
him, The Gazetee declines to give an
opinion. It is possible, though very
improbable that it was an INSPIRED"
utterance, as they say in countries
where certain gentlemen employ inter-
mediaries between themselves and the
public.

Congress being willing, an actual
test of the value of the stoa, ge system
advocated by those interested in the
reclamation of the arid lands will soon
be made. The experiment is to be

says that members of the geological
survey have made examination of the

men at the head of the movement are
very frank in it's discussion. They
say that statehood is assured Okla
homa at no distant day and they
want to be ON the ground when that
event takes place, as it is their inten-
ton to capture the state government
and the two United States senator
ships.
To the casual observer it may seem
as if the Nebraska syndicate of office
seekers was undertaking something it
will find difficult to accomplish; that
the people of Oklahoma themselves
might want to be consulted in go i'm
portant a matter. But if there are
any such they know but little of the
magnificent nerve of the average popu-
list when he goes cunning for Office.
AS instance of this it is only necessary
to cite the cases of Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado, South Dakota and even
Montana. Notwithstanding that the
population of all these states, singu-
larly and collectively, is on a par in
tellectua]ly with that of any of the
states in the union, yet they all were
forced to succumb when the populists
started out for office, and that at a
time, too, when the long, whiskered
gentlemen were but tyros in the bust
ness. What show then will poor
Oklahoma have when a crowd of
drilled and organized populists swoops
down upon it, every member of the
invading force fresh from a place
where but shortly before he held an
office and the desire for living off the
public still strong within him.

may gain in the future and to hold
those we now possess.
Complications may arise at any time
when the possession Of a reasonably
large army of we'll drilled and
equipped soldiers will enable the gov
eminent to negotiate with better pur-
pose than if it were known that we
were without that essential adjunct
to a nation that seeks to be a power in
the world. It was fortunate that we
had such an army when the trouble in
China arose. Without it we would
have been forced to depend upon other
nations to relieve those of our citizens
who were besieged and threatened by
a horde of fanatical barbarians. The
possession of an army within conven-
lent distance enabled us to take the
lead in the work of rescue and the
rest of the world followed. 1t is also
possession Of the same force that ena-
bles us at this time to INSIST upon
reasonable terms from other nations in
their dealing with China and which
makes it possible for us to still adhere
to the demand that the commercial
we have gained there must be
respected eve if the empire is dis

The country has probably heard the
last of Mr.. Bryan's views for some
time to come. He has announced
that he will talk no more for publica-
ton unless he receives pay for it. If
he will only adhere to this resolution
he will lie forgiven for all the misery
he has caused in the past.
