UNAFFECTED. BY DRouTH.

Breeders Gazette: Only pestilence ex-
ceeds drought as a panic-breeder. Fire
and floods are not comparable to it.
Catfish may disport themselves in the
submerged cornfields and the farmer
will sit on the fence and fish in a phil
osophical if not a cheerful frame of
mind. But when the blight of drought
falls, when the scared leaves of the
whitening corn plant toss in the
scorching winds in pitiful and impo-
tent appeal to the brassy skies, phil
osophy and faith flee and panic reigns.
Upon the most prosperous period of
pedigreed beef cattle breeding in
America this plague has fallen. For
years the tide has been incoming.
Scarcely an ebb has been noted and
it's flow has mounted high and higher,
carrying confidence and stimulus to
all the industry. The great shows
have been accessories and the SUI
cessful sales have furnished evidence
unimpeachable of the mighty move
ment toward the betterment Of our
beef stocks. Cattle and corn are yoke
fellows. With ample feed men have
been encouraged to investment in

The announcement that J.. Pierpont
Morgan has a scheme Of profit shar-
ing with employees of the steel trust
evokes remarks from some quarters
that it is probably only a plan by
which he hopes to pay the wages of
the men in stock of the corporation,
instead of giving them cash as is
now done. Commenting further along
this line those same doubters say that
in that community of interests the
trust magnates would be found on
the long end OF the teeter board
most of the time and that the work
ing men would probably have the
stock, while the trust manipulators
would take the profits. Thus are mis-.
judged the unselfish plans Of great
and good men who have only the well
fare Of the poor at heart and for the
amelioration Of whose condition they
are bending every effort. But in view
Of the way a majority of ".Ponty's'@
arc behaving just now there is
not much likelihood of his philan-
thropic plans being put into execu-
ton within the next few days.

AWAITING A DECISION.

The men who have been told by
Attorney General Donovan that they
must not shake dice for cigars because
1t Is in violation of the law are now
awaiting the decision Of the gentle
man in regard to the physical culture
exhibition pulled off" at Butte last
Monday night as to whether it was a
prize fight, and consequently viola
tive OF the law, or simply a contest
involving points. AS nobody was
killed and the distinguished gentle
man who presided declared it to
have been merely a friendly bout be-
tween two other equally distinguished
gentlemen, the attorney general will
probably hold that no infraction of
the law was committed and that he
has no aus of interference and that
no prosecutions will follow. But while
men may hammer and pound one an
other for purses of money offered by
so-called athletic associations and
others pay for seeing those exhiDi.
tons of brutality, respectable mem
bers OF society may not engage in the
innocent pastime afforded by shaking
dice with the stakes a couple of cigars
because the attorney general has rul-
ed it to be gambling andsan offense
gsinst the law that will be punished
to the full extent Of the penalty Eros
vided by the statutes.

RUSSIA is DISAPPOINTED.

Minneapolis Journal: The news
comes by way of Shanghai that Rus.
STA is very much disappointed with
Port Arthur and the new commercial
port which she has tried to establish
at Talienwan under the name of
Dalny. Port Arthur on the. Yellow
Sea, and the intended terminus of
the trans-Siberian railway, is found
to be undesirable as a naval station
because the harbor is too shallow
while the attempt to build up Dalny
as a commercial center instead of
New Chwang meets with opposition
from Chinese tradesmen. Dalny has
the advantage of being open all the
year but that does not attract the
Chinese merchants from New
Chwang, because the merchants at
the latter place have been in the
habit of closing up their business with
the closing Of the port in winter from
ice and going to their southern China
winter homes. They are not inclined
to regard with favor the abandonment
of their time-honored custom and long
established business and domestic ar
rangements.
These facts explain the report that
Russia has offered to abandon these
ports on condition that Japan with
drew her opposition to the establish
ment of a Russian naval station some
where on the southern coast of Korea.
Another fact that is said to dis
courage the establishment Of railway

VIOLATE NO LAW.

While the honorable attorney gen
eral of the state of Montana still ad
heres to his opinion concerning the
unlaWfulness Of shaking dice for
cigars and his determination to prose.
cute all those whom he may learn
engage in the sinful practice, he takes
great pleasure in assuring the dis
tinguished gentlemen who hammer
one another into insensibility for a
money consideration that they have
his unqualified permission to do so
whenever and wherever they please.
They are violating no law, neither are
the examplars of morality and public
decency who hang up the purses. Mr..
Donovan was at Butte last Monday
night when those exalted patriots and
statesmen. Mr.. kid" Oglesby and Mr..
Jack" Wade mauled each other with
gloves of the. hardness of cannon balls
to the %edification of Butte's society
leaders and under the supervision of
a SluU OI Tie same nigh
toned gentlemen and he is quoted as
saying that it was an entertainment
of a highly instructive and eleyating
kind, n of the sort that could be
permitted before a Sunday school class
or in a drawing room filed with Colon
ial Danes. Although the two princi-
pals contested for a liberal sum of
money and had to respond to an en-
core before the gentleman who ofic-
lated as master of ceremonies could
decide which of them was the nearer |
condition Of almost utter collapse.
still it was no prize fight, for the at
torney general has so said and his
opinion must be accepted as correct.
Should the two. meet, however, and
shake dice for cigars they will lay
under the laws displeas-
Ire and it will become the attorney
generals painful duty to prosecute
hem, and that to the full extent of
he law. Gambling must stop. The
attorney has issued his ultimatum.

AN URGENT NEED.

Inviewof the great distance at which
the state capital is located from the
business center Of the city Of Helena
the editor of the Inter Mountain calls
upon some enterprising and philan
thropic person to build a hotel con.
venient to the imposing pile now
rapidly nearing completion. He
lays particular emphasis upon the ne
cessity for a first-class bar in connec-
ton with the hostelry he wants built.
The addition of such an institution he
says would not only prove a great
comfort and joy to the honorable leg
islators themselves, but would also
result in material good to the state
in the way of expediting business and
insuring the presence in the immed-
late neighborhood of the state house
OF a quorum of members who could
be summoned in short order whenever
their presence was required. With no
~bar~nearer. than now he thinks pub
lie business would suffer, as. adjourn
ments for want of quorums would be
uncommonly frequent. Individual loss
might also occur during times when,
a democrat is seeking election to the
senate, as members might be off at
Helena getting 2 drink at the very
monet when votes would command
fortunes and because of their absence
at such critical moments otherwise
good men would be compelled to re-
turn to their homes no richer than
when they left them to make laws for
the people.

%FLAGLER,s

Kansas City Star: The ethical
points involved in the enforcement OF
his insane wife by Henry M. Fagler,
the Standard Oil multi-millionaire, will
it may be supposed, be freely dis
cussed by the press and by the clergy.
men of those denominations which are
especially emphatic in their insist
ence on the sanctity of the marriage
relation
The question will at once arise
whether any form Of unavoidable mis-
fortunes, such as mental disorder or
physical affection, can be held as a
valid ground of separation. For bet
ter, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health, to love and
to cherish until death do us part is
the solemn obligation imposed by the
form commonly employed in the per-
formance of the marriage ceremony,
and assumed by those who elect to
tread the path of life together.
The allegations that Mrs. Flagler is
incurable, and that she can never
again be restored to her family, will
not, in the judgment of most people,
alter the moral aspects of the case.
1t does not lessen the obligations
which Mr.. Flagler took upon himself
when he married his wife. She is in
no sense accountable for her inability
to take the place in her household
which she would occupy If she We're in
possession of her faculties. She has
done nothing to warrant her husband
in putting her away. She has been
visited by a m%ournful and terrible cal
amity, which it would seem should
be regarded as the very last grounds
for enforcement.
Public opinion in regard to the af-
fair will not be in the least modified
or conciliated by the knowledge that
it was Flagler's wealth which enabled
him to ecu the enactment of the
law in Florida which gave him the
release he asked for from his insane
wife.
The story that Flagler desires to
marry again will be accepted by theJ
public as plausible and probable, and
it will not tend to lessen the resent
ment which his conduct has aroused.

just as interest is beginning to lag
in the Chinese situation and the Boer
war dragging along without any start
ling breaks in it's m%onotony of chases
and retreats to call more than passing
attention to it's existence, the kurds
very kindly take the stage and give
the world something to talk about
in the way of the latest massacres of
Christians. The killings Of Armenian
Christians will arouse the usual indig-
nant protests from editors and the
people of the civilized nations, but
that is as much as it will amount to.
Politics has hypnotized the inter
national conscience and intervention
need not belooked foras long as polit-
ical conditions in Europe remain un-
changed. Nothing is to be hoped for
in the way of territorial or CONNER
cial gains, in which respect conditions
in Turkey differ from those in China,
consequently the Turk will be per-
mitted to kill all the Christian sub
jects of his realm he chooses or to
order new outrages whenever he feels
in the mood fer such innocent and
playful diversions and the rest Of the
world will stand by and look on. Some
day, however, some power will feel
called upon to intervene and the
bloodthirsty ruler of Islam will find
that the time of reckoning has come
and that the tribute exacted will be
fearful.

THE CITY COW.

The city council seems to find It
self in the unfortunate position Of q
body that tries to please too many
and the usual result of pleasing no.
body follows. In passing an ordi.
nance requiring all livestock taken
through the streets of the city to be
led, the council satisfied and pleased
those who have given themselves over
to the commendable task of c~ultivat,
ing lawns and enhancing the beauty
OF the city as a residence place, but
offense was given to the owners of
cows, who declared the ordinance to
be unreasonable and provocative Of a
hardship upon every owner Of a bossy
in the town. AS the latter class
seems to be possessed Of greater pow
ers as kickers the council has needed
the protests from that quarter and
the Objectionable feature Of the ordi-
nance has been repealed and cows
may once more be driven through the
streets by the town herder. OF course,
the other fellows are now growing,
but as they have had their inning the
COW owners will probably prevail to
the end.
1t cannot be denied that both sides
have their rights and that merit at
taches to the arguments each advanc-
es. The men who are seeking to add
to the attractiveness of the city are
to be considered as public benefactors
and should receive every reasonable
encouragement. Nothing so much i'm
proves the appearance of a. city as
well kept lawns, where grass grows
and flowers shed their perfume and
beauty upon air and scene. To the
man whose soul longs for the sweet
joys to. be, found in keeping a COW and
reveling in the luxury of milk innocent
OF the adulterations that the wicked
and sinful milkman Is won't to infil-
trate into the commercial article it is
cruel to say he shall be deprived of the
pastoral delights he finds in cleaning
out his barn and getting up at UNI
earthly hours in the morning to do
the milking and assist the good wife
to properly store the tactical treasure
against the time when it shall be re-
placed by a fresh supply. Those who
know no other milk but that bought

better blood and things have gone

better blood and things have gone

With the direful lack of water will
the ship still float? This is the cues.
ton in thousands of minds and on
thousands of tongues. It is an instinc.
tive question, but the product OF calm
consideration. It is natural enough
but should find it's own answer in the
facts known to every well-informed
man.
1t is not prophesy to- say that the
trade in pedigreed beef cattle on the
whole will be little hurt by the effects
of the drought. It will not be killed:
it will not be crippled. Whatever the
loss in the corn crop--now wholly un-
known and undeterminable-it does
not follow a lean year. There is corn
in the crib and there is money in the
bank-much money. The plows are
now running in the drought-stricken
regions and there is promise Of am
pie fall-grown forage for the herds and
focks. Loss has been suffered of
course. It is folly to attempt to deny
this, but in many sections reports have
greatly exaggerated it, and let the
worst come the cattle, hog and sheep
farmers of the corn belt we're never
in better shape financially to meet
such an emergency. One might as
we'll expect the rising tide Of ocean to
be brushed back by a broom as to con-
jure up panic in the pedigreed beef
cattle trade as a result Of the partial
failure of the corr crop in some vest
ern states.
This is not mere opinion. The ans
wer to the universal question has been
voiced. At Chicago last Wednesday
George Harding & Son sold 43 Short
horns at an average of $656.8S. Is it
answered yet, o We of little faith?

he is prepared to shed on the subject

worse. At all events he should be
