on the property OF the State, The tax
roll should show valuation OF one
hundred million dollars worth OF prop
erty: that a true assessment adjusted
nearer to the equal value o! property
would reduce the average county taxes
to perhaps one dollar on the hundred:
with the States proportion at about
twenty-five cents on the hundred that
this differentiation OF property -e,uits
in abnormally high tax rates and is
crippling our industries in addition -
being a menace to the investment of
outside capital. we therefore recon-
rlend to all Silver Party county Con
ventions that they pledge their nomi
noes to the Legislature. to support
such measures as will bring about a re
form in this direction.

Whereas: 1t has since been demon

g2'nst the Hon. Francis G. Newlands
were absolutely false. and that the real
traitor to the Silver cause was Senate,
William M. Stewart as has been dem

ANGLO-sAxoN PRIVACY.

In the time of Charles I there We're
about 5OOO.0 people in the world speak,
ing the language of Shakespeare: at the
time of our first national census there
were about II ,0OO. 900, one-third of them
in the United States; today there are
more than 12O 900, 900, three fifths of them
in the United States: and there are chill
dren now going to school who will live to
see this vast number trebled. The task
of organizing society politically so that
such immense communities might grow
up peacefully, preserving their liberties
and affording ample opportunity for the
varied exercise of the human faculties,
is task which baffled the splendid tall
ents Of ancient Greece, and in which the
success of the Roman was but partial
and short lived. We believe that the men
who used the mingled speech of Alfred
and of William the Norman have solved
the great political problem better than
others have solved it. If We except the
provinces of the Netherlands, the Swiss
cantons, and such tiny city-states as
Monaco and San Marino, which retain
their ancient institutions, there is not a
nation on earth making any pretense
to freedom and civilization which has
not constitution in great measure
copied, within the present century, either
from England or from the United States.
Thus, whether willingly or not, does the
civilized world confess the prmacy OF
the English race in matters POLITICAL

The best market steer now is the one
with the largest percentage of meat, in
stead of fat. and there is going to be
change in the breeding and feeding of
cattle with a view to meat production,

,of this reform is self evident, and the
s,,hiect is likely to be discussed in al its
phases at the SAT- Lake convention.

A GREAT CATTLE CONVENTION

Much interest is being shown in the
great cattle growers convention that is
to assemble at Salt Lake on the 18th of
January 1t VIII be one of the largest
affairs of the kind in the history of the
country Probably twenty-five states
will be represented and prepara tions are
being made to accommodate between
1000 and 1O, 900 men. OF course Montana
will have a very large delegation there,
for this is one of the great cattle states
of the union, and the breeding of fine
stock has been carried on here With such
success that Montana beef is about the
best in the market. To some extent this
Is due to the quality of Montana bunch
grass, which, in beef making constitu-
ents is without rival on all the ranges
of the country. Yet. in Beaverhead
Choteau, Yellowstone and some other
counties the best blood has been intro
duced, and thus Thoroughbred pedigrees
and Montana bunch grass together have
formed a combination that is hard to
beat The convention VIII discuss all
subjects relating to the raising of cattle
: and will accomplish great good for q
most important industry. Until Yer.
recently the fattest steer was supposed
TO be the best and at the stock shows ant

RILEY'S LITTLE JOKE.

"Oh, speak with him. yes. But he is

There seems to be prevailing at present
a sort of satietl of civilization, which IS
leading in all departments OF life to a
temporary reversal of the moral pro-

revived love of war is not an isolated
phenomenon. Half a century ago prize
fighting was under the ban of society

No sunbeams pierce the black clouds

What if the world says things unkind,
And what it knows is false of you;
Much happiness you still can find
If those you love be true.
What if Dame Fortune. with frown,
Seems e'er your footsteps to pursue:
Success your toll at last will crown

The French general, Mercier, who. last
week exploited a plan for the invasion
of England by his countrymen, has met
with nothing but rdicule, even from
sensible Frenchmen Mercier's plan of
attack seems to have been devised with
out taking into consideration what the
English fleet would be doing while the
French army was being transported to
the coast of Albion He also overlooked
What would likely happen to the French
saaports while MERCER was bombardng
the English seaports. The English navy
is almost twice as powerful as that of the
nation across the channel, and would not
orty easily demoli>h the attacking fleets
at home. but destroy the French men of
war in all the great seaports Of the
world, being twice as strong. MERCER
made himself obnoxious by his partici-
ration in the Dreyfus trial; he has now
made himself a laughing stock for the
world The French are brave people,
,b,t III cir victories have been achieved on
land. On the sea, the British still rule.
and if ever forced to take second place
they will dip their cclors to the Amerl-
! can. not the French, navy.
