Disappointed by Joe.

The Hon. Joseph Kemp Toole wishes
it distinctly understood by the Cascade
contingent of the unwashed that he is
still making appointments at the same
old stand, and that, despite the threats
of complete humiliation which are being
handed out to him so gently through the
local democratic organ. The honorable
Joseph is from Missouri, and they have
to show him.-Great Falls Leader.

alleys instead of from the regularly
laid-down course of study as taught in
the schools-Great Falls Leader.

To the Public.

Owing to the arrangement and system
OF numbering the boxes adopted by the
manufacturers, in the new postoffice it
will be impossible for US to give the pat
rons of the Office their old box numbers.
1t is our purpose to systematize the dis
tribution so that we may work to the
best advantage and give the public the
quickest and best service possible. We
trust that they will leave these matters
as far AS possible to our judgment and
experience, and in so doing we believe
both the office and its patrons will be
greatly benefited.
The postoffice has now reached the
point where we are entitled to the free
delivery mail service Every effort is
being made to get this service inaugural
ed at once, with gooo prospect that it
may come within ninety days. In fur
nishing the new office with boxes the
postoffic department anticipated the free
delivery service, and hence there are one
hundred boxes less in the new quarters.
But with free delivery once established
many boxes will be vacated, and all those
who find themselves without now, can
then be accommodated
Very sincerely,

ROBESON'S DETECTION.

The Denver Republican alleges
that 7. H. Robeson of Georgetown,
presidential elector to the last
national democratic convention, has
abandoned silver and Organism and
asserts the party must disc over a
new code of issues, with Senator
Hill of New York as is prophet,
in order to be factor in the next
presidential contest.
MIR. Robson may have said all
this and then again he may not
have. The Republican is INSULT
cient authority on any su ject OF
this kind
- Considerable significance, how>
ever, may / e found in the fact that
the republican press of Colorado is
evincing such paternal solicltude Ill

party OF the state Incidentally this
feeling extends throughout the dill
ferent states Of the Union. This
sets certain democrats to wonder.
ing why, if Bryan and silver are so
defunct as alleged. their republican
advisors are so anxious tor the
democrats to quit them.
1t Gen. Grant had allowed Gen.
Lee to make his plan of campaign
for him, there would have been a
different rendering OF accounts at
AppomattoX. Find out what your
opponent wants you to do and do
the other thing is true in politics
as in war.
Our friend the enemy plainly de-
sires us to drop Bryan and silver
and points with pride to a lone
democrat who has done so. OF
course Mr. Robeson is the master
of his own actions, but the demo
cratic party of the state will prob>
ably look deeper into the question
before deciding to accept the adj
vice of those who are looking for
the weak spot in its armor through
which they may drive death-
blow home.

THE REVENUE BILL.

Governor Orman should fight
the revenue bill through to finish
If necessary to call an extra session
in order to make good the law, he
should not hesitate to do so.
We know that the proposition OF
an extra session of the Legislature
is always expensive, sometimes iu-
tile and as a rule unpopular We
know that the party responsible tor
it often suffers for it at the polls,
right or wrong 1t cannot be
doubted that there is strong pre-,
judice against calling these bodies
into being more frequently than
the law of limitations prescrbes.
: But when all these points are
known and considered, there come
tar reaching and vital problems
demanding solution The states
finances are more important today
than that the democratic party
shall succeed, and if it fail in a
good cause there need be no fear
but that it will rise redeemed and
re>vitalized in the near future.
The revenue bill may not be
popular TO the mass of taxpayers
and perhaps lacks much of being a
perfect document. But it must be
remembered that no perfect system
OF taxation has yet been devised,
unless Senate, Bucklin's scheme be
accounted as such, and as a war
measure the revenue bill drafted by
the last legislature probably goes
to the spot as forcibly and effectu>
ally as any.
The corporations are determined
now, as they always have been, to
avoid paying their taxes. The new
revenue law brings Them to the
post, wi;ly>nilly, and finding no
other way than assassination avail

the weapon of the murderer,
The will OF the people has said
that those corporations shall pay
their share, and if they py their

As everyone knows, Egypt would be
a barren desert but for the Nile, which
not only irrigates the soil, but carries
down from the Abyssinian highlands

Of an excellent fertilizer Each year
the copious rains in equatorial Africa
cause the river to rise and overflow
its banks The area thus flooded and
covered with the alluvia1 deposit is ex-
ceedingly fruitful; beyond this belt,
which covers only a narrow strip of
territory On each bank, the desert be-
gins. Nothing can grow in Egypt
unless the soil has first been watered
and enriched by the river. Since the
earliest times, however, these floods
have been very irregular. Some years
ago they attained an extraordinary
hight and the population of the coun-
try was able to gather large harvests-
In other years the tropical rains were
greatly diminished in volume and par
tial crop failures ensued. The story in
Genesis about the seven fat years and
the seven lean years shows to what
extent the state of the Nile affected
the prosperity of Egypt even during
Josephs sojourn at the court of the
PharaohS The ancient Inhabitants OF
the valley already recognized the wis
dom of storing part of the surplusage
and otherwise regulating the discharge
Of the river. OF such a character was
a lake near Cairo, obviously of artifi

centuries these irrigation works,
which included a well planned system
of canals, deteriorated; but since the
British occupation much has been
done to restore them and to build new
ones. The most important as well as

undertaken by the British is the con-

just reached to my shoulder. The wo-
