THEIR RELATIONS DEFINED.

One Of the speakers on Labor day
at Butte was Charles Lane, a man
prominent in organized labor, not only
in his own city, but throughout the
entire state. During his address he
gave emphatic denial to the charges
of the political agitators and dema-
gogues who are continually seeking to
cause strife and dissention between
the employees and employers of the
state. Being a workingman himself
and high in the councils of labor or
CARNATIONS, it must be accepted as O.
fact that he knows whereof he speaks
and his assertions must be taken
as the truth. Mr.. Lane is not n OF
those, it will be observed, who believe
that one of the principal objects OF
the large corporations employing men
is to lower the standard of the work
ing man and to deprive him Of his
| rights for the furtherance of their
own selfish aims and desires. Here
is what he had to say concerning
the relations Of employer and employe
as they exist in Montana:
1--WE meet to honor and greet the
hearty sons of toll and give assurance
that in the years to come labor in
this state will be as respected as n
the years that have passed. In all
the communities of earth there rs no
spot that receives the favors and
stands today so free from all trouble,
present or contemplated, as Butte
Montana. We are the most favored
people on earth. Nowhere else is there
such contentment and such advance
ment of labor as we find today within
the confines of this state. The condi-
lions OF labor in Montana are such
that the whole world. knowing them,
points with pride. Labor and the en-
ployers of labor are friends, and since
the organization Of the great Miners
union there has occurred nothing 70

to full possession Of his mind the con
ductor and other members Of the
train crew didn't watch him. They
missed him when the train had gone
eastward some distance and sent
back word by wire to look out for the
fellow. BY the time the telegram
reached the town, however, the man
had gone off to Green river, jumped
in and drowned himself. All this came
about because the altitude had made
the man lightheaded, and he was not
responsible for his actions"

the requirements Of the government.
It is apt to prove a detriment to bust
ness and it is certain to invite extrav-
agance in public expenditures. A safe
working balance in the treasury
should always be maintained, but
whenever the assure an &C
emulation beyond what is necessary
to the maintenance of such a balance
there should be a reduction Of taxa
ton. That appears to be the present
situation and the public will expect
congress TO act accordingly.

turn out that they were deceived
and made victims of the man in whom
they trusted and upon whose word
and Judgment they relied utterly to
guide and direct them. While the. sit
uation looks dark and drear. it is to
be hoped that some way will yet be
found to bring the two bodies together
and that the suffering and want which
now apparently threatens SO many
may be averted and that peace hon
orable to both may be concluded.

BOOM FOR HILL.

The southern democracy is not only
still welded to Hill as the party's
next presidential candidate, but ac-
cording to late reports will invade
Bryan's bailiwick to further the New
Workers. candidacy and lay the found
alton for future action. September
81 the Jacksonian club Of Omaha
will hold a big celebration and picnic
and distinguished men from all over
the country have been invited to be
present. Among those SO honored are
Bryan and Hill. Because the later
was extended an invitation Bryan de-
clined his and will not be among the
picnickers. Whether it was Bryan's
declination that prompted them to
accept and send special word of their
intention to be there and to make
speeches is not known, but the man
ayers of the affair have received as
surances from Governor Mcmillan of
Tennessee and Governor Culbertson
of Texas that they will be on hand
and that their voices will be heard.
While it is not stated that the two
governors said so specifically, the
statement is made that their pres
ence at the picnic will be for the pur-
pose of springing the name of Hill
as the south's candidate for president
at the next election, as they believe
him to be the man most acceptable to
the people Of their section of the
country. Should they do SO it will not
be the first time that men from the
south have expressed their preference
for the New Yorker. In the conven-
ton which nominated Cleveland the
last time were many southern delega-
ties who desired the nomination to go
to Hill, but the name of Cleveland
was. sprung with almost the same
spontaneous effect as that of Bryan
four years later and they were COM
PEELED to give up their cherished de-
sign. But they have been true to
their choice ever since and have bid
ed their time and are now pulling
wires which they hope will have the
effect of landing the prize the next
time.
The announcement from Chicago
that Bryan intends to support the
| candidacy of Carter Harrison does
not seem to scare the southern men
and their invasion of what may 0
be called the enemy's country must
be accepted as a direct challenge to
the Nebraskan and formal notice of
his deposition as leader of the COM
bined forces, at least so far as the
| south is concerned. The fact that
Hill has been invited to make an
address is also possible of construct
ion into a notice from Nebraska of
about the same character as that
served upon him by Mcmillan and
Culberson. AT all events. it affords
an excellent opportunity for placing
the name of Hill before the country
and as the New Yorker is crafty as
well as ambitious, he will probably
not say no to those who are deter
mined to advance his interests, even
at this early date.

FURTHER REDUCTION PROBABLE

Omaha Bee: An effort will be made
at the coming session of congress to
further reduce internal revenue taxes
and it is thought probable that it
will be successful. The commission
err of internal revenue estimates that
instead of $40,O00,O0O reduction in
revenue, which was estimated when
the first congress cut off a portion of
the wal taxes, there will not be more
than $27, 900, 900 reduction, due to the
increase of business in all articles
subject to internal revenue taxes. The
first two months of the current fiscal
year show an excess Of receipts ovet.
expenditures of about $5,0O0,000. This
is accounted for by the large reduce
ton in expenditures as compared with
last year. The government has paid
mi in the two months of this fiscal
year about $13,OOO,O 900 less than in
the corresponding period a year ago.
There is $178, 900, 900 in the treas
ury after all the demand liabilities
upon the treasurer have been met
and in spite of the purchase Of bonds
to keep down the accumulation Of idle
money in the government values.
The New York Journal of Commerce
remarks that very likely the surplus
for the current fiscal year will not
continue at the unprecedented rate at
which it has begun, but that it will
amount to a large sum in the twelve
months cannot be doubted, while the
enormous available cash balance
would make it perfectly easy to run
the country's finances with a deficit
for two or three years. Hence that
paper thinks it will be a great mistake
if early in it's approaching session
| congress shall not make a large re
duction in the taxation.
It may not be advisable to abolish
| all the war taxes, as some propose
It is said that treasury officials are
inclined to recommend that some
forms Of these taxes be maintained
permanently and perhaps it would be
wise to do this. But the present
condition Of the treasury certainly
warrants the opinion that q consid
cradle reduction in revenue can safe
ly be made and any further relief from
taxation which congress may n !
expedient to give will be welcomed
by the country. 1t is not desirable
that money shall continue to accumu
,ate in the national treasury at tn
rate Of the past two months. It is no
a good thing from any point OF view

PERHAPS THE PANAMA ROUTE.
Omaha Bee: There seems to be a
growing opinion that the chances Of
the United States adopting the Pan
anna route r good. The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says that there seems to be no
doubt that a majority of the Isthmian
canal commission has decided to rec
ommend the purchase of the Panama
plant and concession provided the
United States can get them at a rea
sonable price. The negotiations that
have been informally and tentatively
progressing appear now TO have gone
SO far to make possible, if not prob
able, the determination of this fair
Trice through the award of impartial
arhitrators.
1t is said that the commission re
CARDS the Panama project, looking at
it from the point Of view of engineers,
as a far better proposition than any
of the various plans suggested for the
construction of the N~icaraguan canal.
They r also. satisfied, 1t is said, that
commercially it will be found a more
advantageous scheme than the Mic
araguan plan, the greater distance
from the regular pathways of COM
merce being in view of the commits
sion than offset by the shortness
Of the canal. 1t is further said that
the commission is also impressed fav-
orably by the fact that the harbors at
either terminal of the Panama canal
are better than those at the proposed
entrance of the Nicaraguan waterway.
An additional consideration and one
of very great Importance is the finan-
cial question, dependent of course
upon the price demanded by those
who have the authority to pass the
Panama title to the United States.
There is good reason to think that
.E 7
this price will not be unreasonable
and will be far below what the cost
of constructing the Nicaraguan canal
would be.
These reports regarding the prob
able recommendation of the Isthmian
canal commission are awakening re-
newed interest in the subject and
there is reason to believe are streng-
thening public sentiment favorable to
the Panama route. AS now indicated
this feeling is likely to be very strong
ly manifested when the subject again
comes. before congress. That there
are very cogent arguments in favor
Of the Panama route no one who has
given intelligent attention to the mat
ter will venture to deny and if the
canal commission should make any
recommendation, as it is reported will
be done, favorable to that route, there
will be a tremendous pressure upon
congress for it's adoption. The re.
port of the commission will be await
ed with great interest.
