OUGHT TO TRY BEANS.

The Pingree plan of giving poor
people small patches of land on
which to raise potatoes is failure
so far as Boston and it's neighborhood
are concerned. No effort has been
made by the Industrial Aid society
to secure any land for such purpose
this year, for the reason that the call
for it had died out, and the agent of
the society attributes this to the bet
ter social conditions which have de-
veloped among the poor. 1t appears
to us barely possible that the society
should have made their play on
beans instead of potatoes, the con,
ception in the minds of the starving
masses being less abstruse and cor
respondingly more popular. The
Pingree system was adopted there
five years ago OH account of idleness
and poverty, and so long as these
tive factors were prominent the work
was a success, but now both causes
have been nearly removed.

A ROTTEN OLD HULK.

Said a prominent gentleman to the
writer the other day; 81 have been a
democrat all my life, but am sick,
tired and disgusted with the men in
this state who compose the party. II
seems to me that all the boodlers
conspirators, traitors and scum of the
earth are gathered together in it

to do with it. | have come to the
conclusion that the republican party
means to do right, although I may at
times be opposed to it's Methods
The above taken from the Pony
Sentinel voices the sentiment of the
best blood of that party all over
Montana. Even at Neihart the in.
fuence of Doodle and bossism are in
plain evidence, and if the 80 sturdy
citizens of this place disregard the
eternal principle of justice so much
as to forget the Klondike face that
met their delegation at Great Falls.

An eastern paper tells about til

An eastern paper tells about the
democratic party. 1t says:
In fact it is so full of sympathy for
anything with votes behind it, not
necessarily large number, say six
or eight, that its overhowing of tears
is constant now. From this time on
it is safe prediction that trusts and
broad human sympathy will be the
issues upon which the forces of dem
ocracy will be concentrated.
In the east the silver issue is not
much in evidence, and anti-expansion
is going to the wall. But the trusts
are still in, and the sympathetic quail
ity of the party, which begins about
six months before campaign opens,
and runs through the campaign, is
what might be called daily down
pour, if not a cloudburst. 1t is said
that in countries where mourners are
hired for funerals, they weep just in
proportion to the pay. 1t is so with
our friends, the democrats. They
weep just in proportion to the num-
Der of votes behind the tears, and
their especial sympathy for the Beers
is explained by the fact that they ex-
pect to catch the votes of two races
by those tears, the Germans, from
race sympathy, and the Irish, thro'
hatred of England.-Salt Lake Tri-
