JONES IN A u

Judge Henry L. Carnss, a prom
inent citizen of st. Louis, replying to
Chairman J. K. Jones' denial in the
New York Sun of being implicated in
a trust, knocks James out as follows:
Chairman Jones in his interview re-
ferTed to and published in the New York
Sun on August 1, 1900, and in other pa
peTs, studiously avoids making a full
statement showing his connection with
the American Cotton company. Mr..
Jones is only pleased to say IN this in
terView, and others, that the American
Cotton company is in nc sense a trust,
nor lis it a company with inflated capl-
tai. These and either like statements
put out by Chairman Jones prove moth
ing, and the public will never be satisfied
until they know all the facts showing
Mr.. Jones' connection with this gigantic
corporation, organized under the avs of
New Jersey. Mr.. Jones knows quite well
that he was the head of a corporation
which claimed to own patents covering
the round-bale process, and which was
organized unde the laws of Texas,
known as the B~essonnette Cotton
Compress and Manufacturing
which also claimed to have patents and
valuable rights in the manufacture of
the round-bale process. Mr.. Jones knows
tlieol tlte Au1cTlCdi COtCOil Bale improve
ment company, organized under the laws
Of THE state Of Illinois. claimed to have
valuable patents and rights in the manu-
facture of the und a process. Mr.,
Jones knows that Messrs. John E. Sear,es
and A. w. Walburn had a
Ginning to have vluable rights, %ncludin
patents, in the manufacture of the rounl-
bale process, nd Mr.. Jones Well knows
that these four companies We're competi-
tors of each other, each claiming some
superior right to the other, each demand
ing the right to bale cotton by the round :
bale process, and were as active comnasti :
tors in this particular kind of manufac-
ture as n other competitors. Mr.. Jones
knows this perhaps better thar anv
other man in the United States. and
knew ut when he made the above sta te-
mert. Mr.. Jones knows that in the city
Of New York, on the 18th day of De.
cembeq, 1895, a contract WIS entered int
between these four corporations, and
which contract is in the usual form
whereby trusts and ~monopolies are Gre
ated, whereby the interests of these four
corporations combined and confederated
together, n mde one gigantic corpora
ton, and on, 'to-wit: The 10Th day of
March, 1896. chartered under the laws
OF New Jersey. Chairman Jones knows
now and he knew when he made the sid
statement that said American Cotton
company was organized for the purpose
above Stated, and that said organization
was completed ait tits meeting held on
March Is, 1896. ait the office of the to be
called the American Cotton company.

TOOLE NOMINATED CAMPBELL.

That Joe Toole is a mar of poor judg-
ment, and on that account Totally unfit
to be governor of Montana, is plainly
illustrated by his mistaken estimait of
the craftsmanship and character of Con-
gresham Campbell. Two years ago 1T
was Mr.. Tcole's proud privilege to nomi-
nate Andrew Jackson Campbell for con-
gress. He did SO in impassioned Ian

CHEAP READING A NOVELTY IN
LONDON.

The sixpennny novel has come to stay,
much to the CONSERVATION of the pub
fishers, who fear that this cheap litera-
ture will work. a revolution in the book
trade. Almost every day s%ixpenny
editions of popular novels are being
launched on the market. The success of
the s%ixpenny ventures is attested by the
enormous ctrculations that have been Sc
cured. The six-shilling novel ~circulates
from 1,50O to 10000, with a few pheno,
menal instances when the sale mas
leaped to O,000 and $1,000. But the ell
ton for this reduced price generally be-
gins ait $4,000 and goes up to $50, OOO.- =

was made in the convention last night

TO the national ticket as well. But they
were told to walk out and as they did so
We're greeted with Kisses and jeers, which

toward the Clarkites. Consequently the
republicans are in high spirits and it is
conceded on all sides that they are jus-
timed In their hopes OF redeeming Mon

TIMES CHANGES.

This fact that the per capita circulation
of money in the United States is s26. as
disposes of one of the silver arguments
that was pertinent and logical fou years
ago.
The fact that the farmers are more
prosperous than ever before. that wheat
commands a good price, that farm mort
cages are being paid off instead of put
on farm property, disposes of another ar
gument that seemed pertinent and losi-
cal o years ago when prices We're low
and debts increasing and people We're
looking for a remedy.
The fact that interest is lower than
ever before, that banks are glad to loan
none on 5 n 6 per cent in the east,
tina safe 4 per emit Investments are in
funding its debt at = per cent disposes
of another argument that the silver men
deemed i%rrefutable four years g when
money was scarce and interest high.
The fact that all over the land labor
is in demand at good wages, that the
factories are all at work with orders
ahead, and that the railroads alone
employ $4,000 more men than they did
four years ago disposes of another argu-
ment that was sound and reasonable in
the last presidential campaign, for bust
ness then was paralyzed. factories We're
closed, wages were low. 5000. 600 men
We're out of work. and the prospects for
the future eemed dark indeed.
But the situation has changed. condi-
vived, business is restored, wages have
been raised, has doubled il
volume, prosperity has come and the
people are happy.
h republican party has brought
about the change. Its policies have re-
stored confidence, stimulated investment,
enlarged the home and foreign market,
changed the balance of trade in our
favor. thus bringing a stream of foreign
gold to this country.
Having Q these things and having
NA~ oAOH lOI luG CGdIlSe, ana
in the absence Of any evidence to the
contrary, the republican party asks the
endorsements Of the people, it asks to be
in power that it may continue
and increase the benefits of its rule. It
only asks h a the voters In their own
interest give their support to the party
whose record has proved most beneficial
to all the people.
In Montana every mans emo
hanks back to the dark days of democ-
racy, to eight-cent wool, dollar sheep,
three-cent lead, ten-cent copper, closed
mines and hard times.
DemaSogues for selfish rpo and
upon false statements may seek to in
duce men to vote democratic and fusion
tickets, but the Inter Mountain has con-
fidence in their sense of self-respect and
self-interest, in their intelligence and
patriotism, in their state and national
pride, in their appreciation of the char
acter of Mckinley and his devotion to
principle and their comprehension of the
purposes and policies of his opponents.

WALHALLA'S SEMI CENTENNIAL.

In another column will he found a
timely article by Mr.. Y. l.. Norman
making some appropriate suggestions
relative to the celebration of the semi
centennial OF the founding of Walhalla.
Why should not something Of the kind
be done? Let every citizen Of the town
ponder this question. and the more it is
considered the more fitting the cclcbra-
ton will bo seen to be-
Tho erection Of Il handsome monu-
mcnt to the memory Of Gen. John a.
Wagcncr, the leading spirit of the Ger
man Settlement Society. and his CO.
laborcrs, through whose influence the
town was established, would be only Il
tardy tribute to departed WORTH The
town owes it to itself to honor the
memory Of its founders in some cndcar-
ing manner, and surely no more fitting
season could be found. The time which
marks tho parting Of the centuries would
also become memorable us marking II
half century Of corporate existence for
tho town.
Who shall start the movement? We
hope to sec Mr. Norman take the lead.
and we believe every citizen will follow.
And no time should hc lost in getting to
work. 1t should not be done in shall
low, Indifferent, pcrfunctory manner
"Twcro better not done at all than in
such way; but, when once the people
of Walhalla become Interested in the
matter, there will be no tagging behind.
and united action will insure success
Let the good work proceed. We prom
ise to do our full share and hclp the en-
tcrprisc along in every way we cam The
more VIC think about it the more we
think it should be done. We thank Mr..

copy Il brand new road law from the
laws of one of the richest Western States.
lie did not have sense enough to know
that those people in tho West were rich
and our people were poor: those people
have full treasury, while our treasury

IT was ut time when the farming pro-
ducts Of our county would hardly bring
cost of production in the market, and il
was found to be so expensive that the
people could not stand it. At the close
of the first year of its operation the
county officials found that they were in
debt two or three thousand dollars. At
WV SipSc VI IIlc IcAJ year ll1CN were
debt five or six thousand dollars. They
then asked for one mill extra road tax,
and it was levied. But ut the close of
the year they were in debt six to eight
thousand dollars. Then they asked for
one and onc-ha'f mills extra road tax,
and it was levied, and still we are told
that the county is i'm debt. The roads
were advertised last year and were to
be worked by cOntract-a school district
in each contract. The system worked
very badly. We hear OF one contractor
who bid of three districts at prices
ranging from $50 to SD each. We have
been told by good men that he did not
spend Il single dollar on all three dis
tricts, ana did not work all the free

only worked about seven days and
drawcd SI4. This was more than $40
per day for his work, besides some com
mutation tax, which was paid in after
tho contract was let. This tax was also
given to him. We heard of another con
tractor who bid OF two districts for $50
and 81 each. lie said he did not spend a
dollar on any of his roads and did not
work all those who were liable to road
duty and had not paid the tax. lie
