Last year Custer county added that
portion of the reservation from which
IL has been collecting taxes to the Miles
City suhool district.
The addition of this territory means
much to the Billings district. The
total assessed valuation of railroad and
personal property in the territory
amounts to between $S00,O00 and
$1,000, 900. 1he school tax for this
district is about ~ mills, divided as
follows: FourA ni1ls in general fund

rare it means at least between $4,000
and $5. 900 additional revenue for the
district each year.
The above ia u matter of oongratu-

the schools. The schools of this city
have long been hampered in their ad.

voting special taxes, etc., it has been
quite burden upon them, which will

The Strike OF the Miners.

Now We shall see how many Of the
10000 miners in the anthracite coal
region will respond to the order TO
strike. given by the leaders Of an or
ganization to which only an uncertain
fraction Of their number belong. If
the presence Of organized coercion
causes a general stoppage Of work,
there is likely to he a test Of endurance
Of the miners and their families. for
the operators will not easily yield to
demands which DO not come to them
that the great majority of the miners
do not want to strike a great part Of
them have no idea what the strike is
for. and it seems nothing less than
crime for the selfish labor leaders and
professional agitators to get their men
into trouble which means much priva-
ton and suffering and possibly riot and
bIoodshed. The condition of these min
ers is better now. and not worse. than
the few men who are pCecipitating the
present trouble.
The well-grounded suspicion that
there is political instigation Of the
strike for the purpose Of gaining par
tisan advantage from the feelings
aroused will tend to minimize public
sympathy for the strikers and will Sc
riously impair the chances for a fair
and peaceful settlement. If the miners
have real grievances they should be re-
dressed, but the method to obtain re-
dress is not through a strike in a polit-
ical campaign, under such leadership as
characterizes the present movement.
The strike is set for Monday. and de-
velopments will be awaited with much
interest.

The power oc partisanship to make q
strong man cast acide his political
honesty and t; Ike his stand for what
he knows is false and wrong. was never
better shown than in the case Of Rich
ard Olney, whose support of Bryan
apologize though it is. is an amazing
feature Of the campaign. Beca use Mr..
Olney was educated as a Demucrat. the
name still holds him. though in these
times it has become attached to Bryan
ism, a set Of ideas and policies which
most old-line Democrats Of Mr.. Olney's
class abhor and repudiate.
A writer in the New York Sun with
the trenchant pen characteristic Of that
paper contrasts Mr.. Olney's real in
clinations and opinions with his sup
port of Bryan. For instance he shows
that Mr.. Olney has made himself by
his own writing. within a little over
two years. the most conspicuous ex-
pansionist in the United States. Yet
under Bryan's influence he turns
against the administration with the
baseless charge Of 'rand grabbing in
the East" ''forcibly expelling Spain
from the Philippines and "saddling
ourselves with the responsibility for
their inhabitants" He was in favor. in
order that expansion might be success
full. Of greatly enlarged diplomatic
agencies" and Of a powerful navy, up

Mr.. Olney. by preference, due to his
good fortune in birth ana education,
and by practice based upon his healthy
bank account observes the rule of pay
ing his debts. He believes that this
nation would be guilty Of reputation
if it should adopt the free silver policy
