A "WILD GOOSE RAILWAY."-As IL
lustratlng the np-to-date progress
which seems to inspire all enterprise
at this time, it may be noted that as
an accompaniment of the telegraph
and telephone, and the use of electric
ity for light and power, Cape Nome,
has railroad equipments for route
from Nome to Glacier creek, seven
miles in length, now on the water
speeding towards destination. Maps
and folders of the "Wild Goose Linz
tied" have been issued, and soon as
the material arrives, Its protector,
president, stakeholder, contractor and
constructor, will set gang of men at
work building the track. The iron
was shipped northward by the steamer
Senator, some time ago, and two loco
motives and lot of fiat cars will
leave San Francisco, on the 9th, by
the Charles d. Lane for inaugurating
service soon as the track is laid and to
aid in construction. 1t is hoped that
the name will not prove "hoodoo" and
queer" the enterprise into a veritable,
wild-goose chase.-Olympia Standard.

When man begins to add to his hours

STATE PRESS OPINIONS.

Benton River Press: II any political
party concludes to declare itself In favor
OF an eight-hour day for underground
miners. 1t cannot consistently draw the
line at that particular point. There are
thousands of men engaged in other pur-
suits more or less e~nervatin and haz-
ardous. who should also be favored in the
proposed reform. There should be no
discrimination in favor of a class Of
working men engaged in any particular
to all If this question is to be settled by
legislation and settled right.
There are the men engaged in smelters,
for instance. What would he Herald adj
wise the republican parry to d for this
deserving class of citizens? Are they to
be left to the tender mercies of alleged
oppressive employers, while the men in
the mines find shelter under the pro-
tective provisions of an eight-hour law ?
In regulating labor conditions, 1t
should not be forgotten that a reduc-
ton in the length of the working day
would be acceptable in various occupa-
tions not connected with the mining in
dustry. A very deserving class is the
festive cowboy, whose working day lasts
from daybreak to sunset, during which
time he is constantly taking the risk of
losing life or limb. Would it not be
proper to reduce the working hours OF
the cowboy to more reasonable limits?
His employer might contend that the
profits of the business will not permit
shorter hours, but that objection could
be removed by passing a law to increase
the price Of beef.

The esteemed Helena Independent
seems to be in favor of the lowest posi-
bic price for copper. If that able paper
would wait until the copper bonanzas on
Mount Helena shall be developed and
smelters built to treat their output, the
price of copper may cut some figure in
the matter of wages, hours of labor,
profit, and many other things. The In
dependent is certainly n of the most
extraordinary newspapers ever printed
in any country. Most people in Montana
are in favor Of the highest possible price
for the states products, whether agri-
cultural, mineral, or from the range.
The Independent, however, apparently
prefers low prices.

The Independent Of Helena has not yet
proved tina there is a copper trust.
Most of the great copper concerns of this
country sell their copper Independently.
Senator Clark disposes of between &c.
600, 900 and 50, 0OO, 900 pounds yearly. The
Calumet & Hecla sells it's own product.
Most of the other Lake concerns do BUSH
ness on their own account. The Anal
gamated sells Independently. The Mon
tana Ore Purchasing company does the
same thing. Isolated copper companies
from the Mexican to the British line,
sell as they please and for what they
can get. There is no monopoly in the
copper business and no trust embracing
enough copper mines to command the
market. There is in New York a con-
Germ which keeps track of the market,
furnishes statistics to the producers and
helps them get the best prices, but that
concern acts independently for Zach pro-
ducer. 1t is not a monopoly or trust,
The Independent is fighting a man of
straw when it tackles the copper trust"
It knows nothing of the subject. It is
making itself a laughing stock.

Answering some scurrilous innuendo
directed against ex-State Seaa OF d. E.
Folsom of Meagher county, the Rocky
H~usbandman, a stanch demo-
cratic paper printed in that county,, says.
The Helena Independent OF last waek
in associating the name OF our fellow
tOWnsman, Hon. D. E. Folsom, eX-sen-
ator, with the candidacy of the COVER
norship of Montana, leaves the impress
sion that that gentleman has consented
to become q corporation candidate for
gubernatorial honGrs, which, it seems to
us, is unwarrantcd by the facts and does
Mr.. Folsom a gross injustice. Mr.. Fols
som is a republican from hone5t convic-7
tons, such as all true democrats admire,
He is plain, straightforward and OUT,
spoken, and is for the right as he sees,
1T, and any attempt to smirch his chars
acter will fall to the ground. - =
The Independent will never be able to-
pursuade the people of his county that
Mr.. Folsom can be made the tool of any,
corporation, clique or individual and,
while he has hosts of neighbors and
friends who differ with him honestly as
to his political affiliations .tney would not,
do him the injustice for a moment to-,
associate his na1Ge with political jobbery,a
and intrigue, with corrupt methods, orr
with being inspired by corrupt motives.
We regard him as infinitely above being
tampered with by any faction. !

A PLOT EXPOSED.

Evidence is raL.dIy accommodating that
a bold and wicked plot is in process of
incubation against the best interests of
the republican party.
The minority of the county committee,
illegally called primaries, borrowed sew
eval hundred democrats and populists
to vote at them and with the delegates
so elected held a convention and
adopted a slate containing the names Of
G. men.
If they be refused admission to the
state convention it is the intention Of
the del CATION . with about three excep-
tons, to bslt. Other contesting delega-
tons, if refused admission, will also bolt,
according to the pre-arrangement.
The boilers will hold a convention of
their own and nominate a separate state
return and await events in other parties.
Should the Hill wing of the democracy
carry the democratic ounty primaries,
the other wing will bolt and put uD a
county tIchtt. Liz uofliitS tCpupiiIailS
will indorse that ticket, either wholly or
in part. The populists will indorse it. An
effort will be made to have the labor
party indorse it.
In this county, therefore, there will
be three tickets in the field-the Hill
democratic ticket. the boiling democratic
and mixed ticket and the straight repub-
lican ticket.
That is the situation the republican
party in the state and in the county OF
Silver Bow will have to face. A shrewd.
well-managed but wholly irregular and
Illegal movement is or foot to break up
the republican party. 1t is a movement
without law or conscience. 1t is a
movement without avowed and respon-
feat and Generalization of the republic
car party. 1t is being planned n
worked largely by democrats for demo-
Gratis, but under the cloak Of republican
Mountain appeals to the party to put
n but republicans on guard, to send
none but loyal and trustworthy men to
the state convention, to look with sus-
picion upon n men in any county who
evince a disposition to organize bolts or
who frantically shout against corporate
dictation.
There is no corporate dictatioa in
in the republican party. There can be
none. There is no danger of any. 1t is
a false alarm raised to cover up demo-
cratic designs Of a far more serious
character.
If William Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt have any friends in Montana,
let the latter send only tried and true
republicans to the state republican con-
vention at Helena next Monday.

1t does not help Montana if most of the

It is ~humiliating to confess that a pa

cause copper is high that the mining

is only because copper is high tina the

AN EIGHT. HOUR DAY.

The republicans of Silver Bow county,
being in favor Of the passage of a law
by the next legislative assembly making
eight hours a legal days work, adopted
a resolution yesterday in their conven-
ton to that effect.
They did not stop to inquire whether
this or that mining company was in
favor of the movement, or whether any
corporation doing business anywhere in
Montana was for or against an eight
hour day. 1t was sufficient that the re-
publicans of Silver Bow are in favor OF
it; it was enough hat for many reasons
they would like to see an eight-hour law
if constitutional. That is why he resolu-
ton was passed.
The e%ight-hour plank expressed h
sentiments of the people upon an issue
of the gravest Importance, and a legisla-
tive ticket honestly pledged to support
! an e%ight-hour bill in the Legislature was
nominated. The act is a sufficient answer
to the cry of corporate dictation," and
to the charge that influence would be
exerted to prevent the adoption of an
eight-hour resolution.
Never did a political convention more
clearly espcse the falsity of the accusa-
ions of its enemies. Never did a con-
vention put into it's platform with more
Independence and less regard for outside
influence n power, a pledge which the
people wanted and which it's enemies
said it would not dare to make. The fact
is, there was no sign of interference with
a free expression of opinion on important
subjects of probable legislation.
1t was a republican convention. 1t
was representative. 1t was independent.
It was made up largely of laboring men
acting as American citizens. 1t favored
an e%ight-hour day under proper condi-
tons, believing it to be right, and said
so. It spoke for no corporation, for no
! faction; for no man. 1t represented only,
the people.
What action the state convention viii!
take on the subject, the Inter Mountain
does not know. That is for the conven-
ton itself to decide. 1t will be made up
of men able to dc their own linking
and in need of no newspaper instruction
in advance of their deliberations. 1t may
regard the issue as non-political.
