afternoon to assist in arranging for the
reception Of President Mckinley and
party in Butte next month.
In speaking of the presidents tour of
the country Mr.. Carter says that Mr..
Mckinley is making the trip as presi-
dent of the United States and not as a
partisan president.
I'm the SOUTH" says he. "confederates
and members Of the Grand Army of the
Republic mingled with each other in the
cordial greetings to the head of the
nation and the best of feeling prevailed
in every city in which the party stopped.
The president has decided that 1t will be
impossible for him to hold receptions in
every cit ythrough which he passes, as
he desires to devote portion of the time
to sight seeing and his stays in each
place are most too limited to permit of
receptions. In Butte everybody will de-
sire to see him and he cannot shake
hands with all.
I'm arranging for a drive through the
city the committee having charge Of the
matter has acted wisely. From his car
riage the president can greet the people
in a general way.
when the party started from Wash
ington 1t was the intention of Mr.. Nc
Kinley to not deliver any addresses, but
the pressure at certain points along the
line has been so strong that the demands
could not be entirely ignored. He will
address the residents in this city and
probably those who will then be at work
on the hill.

1T has become nothing less than
scandal that so many ministers leave

not get any such vacations. We are not

Tariff Reform Bosh.

"Tariff reform was never more ur-
gently needed than now, when the pro-
duction of the country so far exceeds
its power of consumption that foreign
markets r a prime condition of its
continued prosperity" This is the Ian
guage of the Ohio Democratic platform,
and it is calculated to make one smile.
We have just closed the books of a fs-
cal year, and they show that we have
sold more of our commodities in foreign
markets than in any other year in our
whole national existence. Then, where
there is the suggestion based upon wis
dom, that we should reform the tariff
in order to increase III foreign trade?
1t is more satisfactory than it ever has
been; therefore, what is wrong?-Knox.
