however. in the matter of responsibility.
ton has the supervision and control of
the capitol building, and can regulate the
conditions under which it is erected, the
republican national administration has
no jurisdiction whatsoever over the re-
~lationship of employer and employee in
the various business enterprises through
out the land.
1t is folly for the Independent to as
sumo that general prosperity does not
prevail throughout the country, and that
the strikes here and there are due to dis
fact is that while many of the strikes
may be based OF local misunderstand-
ings, which involve some infraction of
the rules governing union organizations.
wage reductions are at the bottom Of but
few labor troubles of that character the
present year.
If the truth We're known, it would be
found that many difficulties of this sort
could be speedily adjusted on a basis
fair alike to all parties in interest, were
it not for the efforts Of democratic poll
ticians to SOW the seeds of discord on the
threshold of a presidential campaign.
The more they can disturb business con-
ditions. the nearer they can bring the
country to the verge of a financial panic,
the greater the harvest of calamity they
hope to reap in the fall elections.
Conservative. fair-minded men, both
in and out of labor organizations. realize
that the line of demarkation between the
conditions which existed under the late
democratic administration of Grover
Cleveland, and those which exist under
Mckinley today, is too broad and we'll
defined to be ignored. It has been dem
| onstrated over and over again that as a
rule the democratic calamity howlers are
the calamity makers. Whenever they
search for a mote in the eye of the re-
publican administration they find a
beam in their own y big enough to
supply the country with cordwood for
the next century.

fair to assume that the republic of the

the finale of a ard fought war.

NOTES AND REAMS.

In an editorial on strikes the Helena
Independent of Sunday says:
Dissatisfied workmen are on strike in
every section of the country. Workmen
do not strike under satisfactory condi-
lions. Therefore, these piping times of
prosperity are not satisfactory to the
workmen of the land.
By a singular coincidence the same
issue of our contemporary over the range
contained a column account Of how the
capitol building Of the great state of
Montana is being erected by scab labor,
under the supervision of a democratic
state administration. 1t appears that
Mr.. L.. H. Fitzgerald, member Of the ex-
ecutive board of the Jorneymen Stone
Cutters Association of North America,
has been in Helena Investigating the
labor troubles anent the state capitol.
After announcing his inability to reach
a satisfactory understanding with the
contractors, Mr.. Fitzgerald says:
1t is my deepest regret thai 1 will be
compelled to report to the stone cutters
of h United States and Canada that
the state of Montana is erecting a capitol
building with scab labor. Z
This is a rather severe arraignment OF
the democratic state administration OF
| Montana in the local columns of a news
| paper which is trying editorially, in the
same issue. to point out republican re-
%sponsibility for strikes throughout the
country! There is a broad distinction,

LITTLE MCQUEEN PLACER.
Quartz Location Notice Was Filed On
it To-Day.

A notice of location for the Goose
Mountain quartz mining claim was filed
for record by Dupont B. Vincent this
morning. and while there was no undue
excitement in connection with the act
considerable Importance attaches to it.
The ground covered by the notice is said
to be the Little Mcqueen placer, over
which a legal controversy as to the title
has been recently promulgated in The
courts. AS defined by the notice the new
location is bounded on the north by the
Golden Hermilite, on the east by the
Ironside and Sinbad. on.the south by the
Undlne and on the west by the Mcqueen
placer.

BRITISH SUCCESS ASSURED.

Late advices from the seat of war In
the Transvaal seem to indicate that the
criticism Of Roberts has been ill-timed
and hasty. Exercising the prudence
which the world has a right to expect
from a painstaking and careful manager
of military forces, Roberts is slowly but
surely bringing the war to a termination
favorable to the British. The English
public, still writhing under the shock
of early reverses in the field, is too prone
to criticise any apparent delay in re-
t~rieving the fortunes of the crown. They
do not appear to realize that the topo-
graphical conditions which lead to the
undoing of Butler must be met with
greater caution by Roberts.
1t is only through a succession of pru-
dent and well considered steps that Rob-
erts a hope to reach Pretoria and bring
the war to a close, without inficting
upon his country abnormal loss of men
and money. Haste might neutralize the
advantages already gained. n thus in
definitely prolong the conflict. There
can be no doubt as to the ultimate trt-
Jump of the English forces, patience
alone being required on the part of those
entrusted with the RESPONSE Utilities of the

1t SO happens. in the constitution of
things, that the p%rejud;ces of the west
against the east have very little effect in
a material way, while the reverse is true
as to the feelings which the east may
entertain toward the west. The west
depends upon the east very largely for
it's necessary increase OF population and
for capital wherewith TO develop it's re-
sources. P%rejudices against this section
of he country means an actual loss to
the commonwealth when no man can
fered a great injustice in the way of ma
terial development through false and
misleading ideas concerning our climate
and the general advantages which this
state can present to the home-seeker
and the investor. When to such current
MISUNDERSTANDING is added the reputa-
ton which democratic political scandals
have given our people, the effect can be
measured only by the imagination.
-
Serious assaults upon the general
of this state, as we'll as ridicule of the
most annoying type, have appeared over
and over again in the public press, until
a Montanian abroad feels a sense Of hui
initiation and shame when he comes in
contact with those who are not disposed
to grant the charity of silence to d
slandered state. Were these scandals to
exhaust their force on Mr.. Clark, or on
any other individual, Montana would
have less to fear from their ultimate
effects; but it is the commonwealth of
Montana-not MI. Clark and Mr.. Daily,
with their respective Methods of win
ming political renown by a simple twist
of the ~wrist-which suffers the reaction
from all the balderdash and billingsgate
against the honesty and integrity of the
e%nterprising and progressive people CT
this state.
The Standard may rejoice over the
newspaper diatribes against this state,
because they contain personal refer
ences to Mr.. Clark, but it is rejoicing
over a condition of affairs of inestima-
BILE injury to the commonwealth, and ap-
plauding ar attack upon our people of
far-reaching consequence to the future
of this state. 1t sowed to the wind and
is apparently enjoying itself immensely
with the whirlwind. But after the whirl-
wind-what?

AFTER The WHIRL WIND WHA7s

The Anaconda STANDARD takes a great
deal of delight in advertising the con-
tempt with which senator Clark is held
by the American press, making copious
quotations to fortify it's statements that
that gentleman is quite universally con-
demned throughout the land. 1t is not
information as to the conditions in Mon
tana is confined solely to the findings of
the committee, should express themsel-
yes warmly as to the course pursued by
the Junior senator, being firmly convinc-
ed, from the attitude of Senator Chand-
Ter, that palliating circumstances are
few and far between. But while the
Standard, for political and personal pur-
poses of it's own, sees fit to quote liberal
ly from other newspapers all references
of a character ~derogatory to Mr.. Clark, it
is noticeable thai it eliminates from such
articles the equally ugly references to
the commonwealth of Montana. The
facts is, nearly every statement which
appears in the press is as hard a blow to
the character and standing of our state
as to Mr.. Clark.
1t may please the Standard to sort out
and publish the sentences which assail
Mr.. Clark, and refuse to publish the as
saults upon Montana which appear in the
same articles, but that does not do away
with the fact that Montana is getting the
worst of it, when measured by the gen.
eral effect of such comments. 1t is barely
possible that the personal abuse of Mr..
Clark may finally bring out the actual
political conditions in this state to such
an extent as to cause a reaction, even in
the columns of the newspapers through
out the country which are delighting the
Standard with their criticisms, with the
ultimate effect to reinstating the Junior
senator in public estimation as al over
ly abused man! Such things have hap
pened before and may again. Were the
American public to fully comprehend the
political conditions in Montana it is not
at all unlikely that Mr.. Clark, despite his
own acts. might meet a volume of adula-
ton to which he is not entitled from the
ewspapers which now abuse him. The
pendulum would swing to the other ex-
IRENE.

But while such possibilities exist for
the individual In the tickle nature Of
public criticism, they do not exist for the
state. 1t is only by long years of rec
titude Of purpose and nobility of act that
a commonwealth can regain it's footing
In the face of a public prejudice which
has been either honestly or dishonesty
provoked. So great is the natural jeal-
ousy between the states, in the matter of
industrial activity and growth, financial
standing and political influence, that
SANDER affecting the resources or eli
mate or people of any given locality are
hard to live down. No personal sympa-
thy or sense of injustice ever enters into
the consideration of such a topic. It is

rigors Of the western winter, to show the
unhealthfulness of our climate and the

REMOVING WARTS FROM HORSES
Clarence Muir, young horseman,
gives The Farmers Home Journal the
following remedy for the cure of warts
on horses:
"Take about four leaves of strong
cured tobacco, place them in vessel,
pour about one-half gallon of water
on them, place on the fire, letting it
boil down to strong juice and apply
to the wart. Always pick the wart so
as to make it bleed before the applica-
ton, that it may strike into the fungus
growth. A few applications will soon
do the work gradually the enlarge
ment will decrease and disappear as if
by magic. AS an evidence of its eff
cheney, some years ago horse that we
drove had q bleeding wart on his back
that the lines kept continually bleed.
ing. 1t was about the size of wal.
nut, with a neck about the size of
ones index finger. I would occasion.
ally sprinkle few crumbs of tobacco
on it from my pocket, and the wart
went away. 1 have removed warts
as large as a pint cup from horses
legs by taking the tobacco leaves, dip.
ping them in hot water and binding
them to the affected part. Try it
and you will be rewarded for your
trouble"

MARRIED LIFE.-A girl thinking
seriously of her future husband does
not lay great stress on good temper.
A soldierly form, pair of fine eyes, a
noble mouth-any of these might
easily outweigh good temper. YET one
writer assures us that "after the first
year married people rarely think of
each others features, whether they are
classically beautiful or otherwise; but
they never fail to be cognizant of each
others temper"
AS to husbands fortune, it is not
so important as the qualities which
lead TO characterization, determina-
ton, industry, thrift and position such
as a man may attain for himself ln
education man should be at least his
wife's equal. Undoubtedly there is
some sublime affinity between oppo-
sites. Yet there must be likeness as
we'll as unlikeness. The latter will
lend piquancy which is pleasant; but
the former will give peace, which is
essential. At first love itself will be
all-sufficient; but little later. the
individual characteristics re-assert
themselves, and then, in the absence of
comprehension and sympathy in ones
pet tastes and theories, barrier
springs up, slight, unconfessed, per-
haps; but still impossible, and in one
sense at least, man and wife are not
"one," but distinctly "two."

WIND STICKING HORSES.

Cribbiug (or stump sucking) is per-
nicious habit, largely the result of in
digestion but a good authority says
that idleness and indigestion combined
are the causes. The fact is cited that
old horses sometimes take it up, and
horses of all ages are apt to do so il
tied beside a cribber but in every
case such idleness seems to be the
prerequisite. A horse kept in stable
for several weeks is especially apt to
acquire it.
There are many devices in vogue for
the cure of cribbing, such as piece Of
buffalo robe or of iron nailed on the
edge of the manger, red pepper smear.
ed over the latter, small strap around
the throat drawn very tight, etc. But
the most effectual plan is to tie him in
wide stall with line from each side
to keep him in the centre, and feed
him on the floor. Some horses, how
ever, will crib lying down or, if tied
too short to reach the floor, will crib
on their own knees. Cases so invete.
rate, however, are not durable.
Give internally as treatment for the
stomach, the following: Two ounces
bicarbonate of soda; ounce gentian
root, powdered; 2 ounces lineseed oil,
and mix thoroughly. Give teaspoon.
fui morning and night in soft food, and
give plenty of exercise. Old, long
standing cases are obstinate; but those
more recent may generally be cured
by the above treatment if persevered
in.
Avoid long continued idleness, and
also overfeeding on strong heating
grain. A horse kept in health should
be exercised every day, fed according
to the work performed and given
plenty of salt. Remove the manger
from his stall and feed him on the
floor, tying him so he cannot reach
either side. If he cannot be cured by
the above treatment, it is a hopeless
case.
