After defining what are public lands
of the state, article II continues: "Nor

posal and minimum price are so de-
scribed) be disposed of except in the
| manner and for at least the price pre-
scribed in the grant thereof, without

lands shall be classified by the board
OF land commissioners as follows:
First, lands which are valuable for the
timber which is on them. Third, agri-
cultural lands. Fourth, lands with

Six coaches, loaded to the guards,
came to Hamilton Saturday from Mis-

racing were provided at the fair
grounds. and some fine exhibits OF
fruits and vegetables were in place at
the horticultural building and which
furnished amazement for the visitors.
Some apples exhibited by W. J. Tiedt,
Tom Padden and others were excep-
tionally fine lockers and cabbage
weighing Az pounds and big
pumpkin weighing 81 pounds, brought
in by J. p. Hughes, were regular
spe1lbinders. John Golf had some fine
large turnips. Small as was the dis
play, it exceeded anything shown il
Missoula at the successful fair held
there last week.
Right here it is no exaggeration to
state that Ravalli county can show as
fine a display of fruits and vegetables
as any other county in the United
States. And further if our people pass
up another year without holding fair.

grounds, buildings, race track, ETC.

The local firemen especially cxerted
themselves to entertain the visitors.
and citizens volunteering for the good
work, teams were provided and many
of the visitors drove over the DAILY
ranch and to other points of interest.
With unanimous voice the visitors
declared this the most beautiful and
fertile valley, and Bitter Root stock

They were also we'll pleased with their
hospitable treatment while here, and
scores of them announced their inten.
ton of coming back again in the near

The Issue of the Strike.

The idleness of any laboring man is
deplorable, but the more that STOP work
in consequence of the strike order of
President Shaffer of the Amalgsmated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, the clearer will be the issue
raised by it.
These many thousands of men are I'M
dertaking to drive all their associates
in labor into union. They would if
they could unionize every man in the
country-that is, they would establish
for all the union rule as to per-
sonal conduct, regulation of pre-
duction and taxation. They would
create for all a despotism that is now
felt by comparatively few At present
a man pays his taxes to the State and
is his own master, subject to the inn
partial law of the land. Under the
union, he would know another and a
vastly more extortionate tax gatherer,
aud his freedom would be gone. And
it is our pellet that his days of idleness
would increase.
Shaffer and his fellow agitators want
to control all and everything. 1t is
needless to say that the day of their
success would be great American CAL
amity.-New York Sun.

DOMESTIC.

PITTsFIELD, July 19.-The Fosburg
family held an impromptu reception
before the court opened. Among the
member OF the family were William
b. Plunkett, National Republican COM
mitteemau, wlo was among the most
prominent of their friends.
Medical Examiner Paddock told how
James Fosburg said he did not zee bur-
glars and similar statement from
Beatrice Fosburg was made. Judge
Stevens declined TO allow expert testi-
mony on powder stains.
AT this point Mrs. Fosburg, senior,
offered no explanation to Paddock re-
garding her injuries. Mr.. Fosburg,
senior, also was badly bruised about
the head. Afterward he found one of
his ribs cracked aud knee bruised. Rob-
ert 5. Fosburg had swelling on the
back OF his neck.
The State succeeded in introducing
DR.. Paddock's testimony about the
non-penetrating power OF bullet of
the calibre of the one used in tests N
this case.
Frank E. Persou, hardware mer-
chant, told of selling Harrington q
Richardson 80 caibre revolver. a
pistol produced by Person he said was
the same as he sold F)sburgh. Allen
Bagg, employed by Person, testified
to selling fifty cartridges to Robert
Fosburgh.

pecting to join Philadelphia Corinthian

mainsail, topsal, jib and staysail set
the squall came down without warning
and knocked the yacht down. All on
deck were thrown into the water.
The steward said: 1.-THE first re-
member | was in the water some dis
lance from the yacht. One OF the life
boats had been cast adrift and l made
for it, had scarcely reached it when
Mrs. Sprankle came swimming for it.

Of the other constituent companies,
can together duplicate the output Of
the Sheet Steel Company. In fsct, the
only company whose business could be
really stopped by the strike would be
the American TIN Plate Company.
"The demand OF the AmAlgamated
A ISOLATION is that nOn-union company
snail, in the case OF nOn-uniou mill,
tell its non-union employe, who ID re-
ceiving at least union wages, that he
must join a union or be discharged.
That demand we nave refused to grant
and We have no intention OF yieldi 70.
For the United States Steel Corpora
ton to have granted this demand would
have meant that the corporation had
no future"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1901-07-24
The Why OF the Strike.

Because there is prosperity these
strikes occur. Strikes always prefer a
high market, good times. They are in
formal methods of demanding larger
share of profits. Because, ii is summer
when living is easy without work, these
strikes are now ordered. Were the
times hard and the season winter the
advantages would be with capital IT,
stead of labor. The natural anxiety of
readers as to "when it will end and how
it will turn out" cannot be treated to
knowledge, for there is none, and to
treat it to prediction would only be spec
ulation. The history of former strikes
has shown that impossible propositions
and unjustiiable demands have failed,
be the struggle long or short. The his-
tory Of them also shows that any de-
mapds, moderate or extreme, right or
wrong have failed whenever those who
make these demands resort to violence,
involving wounding, riot, destruction of
property, arson and murder. The indie
fensible character of the main demand
of the steel workers, compulsory un-
ionism, 10 too plain for argument, too
wrong for denunciation. 1t needs
only to be stated to be condemned.
1t condemns itself. The duration of
the struggle for an impossible demand
ought to be short since what is
manifestly unreasonable, can have
no reason at last. The usual recourse
to violence should not be predict
ed, though human folly has scored
many instances to warrant the expecta-
ton of it. II that occurs, those who
resort to violence will, of course, be
put down, because the American peo-
Pile put order and safety before all else,
and vindicate them, when necessary,
no matter what rights or what wrongs
are involved in the process. Nor
should it be forgotten that the demand
for the universal Contamination" of la
Dor is sequence or recoil from the
lust for wealth and power which would
accomplish the universal "unioniza-
ton" of capital. "Action and reaction
are always equal-and in contrary di-
rections. "-Brooklyn Eagle.

the most suspicious conditions. The
weather was comfortable and the al

The thirty thousand men and women
in attendance had been provided for in
gratifying manner.
Communion was served in three of
the largest churches in the city. By
noon the vast interior of the Mechau-
les pavilion, capable OIL containing l5,-
900 people, was filled.
When the convention was called to
order, not vacant space was to be
seen from the grand organ to the far
thest gallery tier of chairs. After
service of song participated IN by the
chorus OF 5000, congratulatory mes
sages from President Mckinley, vice.
President Roosevelt, and others were
read. The convention was addressed
bv the Governor of California, the
Mayor of San Francscorand other men
OF prominence. A highly interesting

Mr.. Towne's Prophecy and Pledge.

One OF the most pathetic and nobly
phrased speeches ever spoken in Con-
gress was that which the Hon. Charles
Annette Towne OF Minnesota deliv-
cred in the House of Representatives
on February s, 1896. He was parting
company with the Republican party on
account of the silver issue; and he was
leaving his otherwise beloved party be-
cause, as he explained then and after.
ward, he, the Hon. Charles Annette
Towne, had "never found it possible to
compromise principle"
1t was in that speech that Mr..
Towne exclaimed, in language which
Bryan initiated later:
"The burden OF the gold standard on the
world could be measured only In blood and
sweat and tears"
1t was in that same speech that Mr..
Towne recorded this pledge, aud utter
ed this prophecy:
II warn gentlemen on this hoor-not as
prophet, but az one who has always lived
near to the people and by the grace Of God

to be fred at if she attempts to es-
cape. Miss Schreiner is the writer
who has used her penpowerfully in the
cause of the Beers, in exposing Kitch-
ener's Weyer-like barbarity to Boer
women and children, and in an en-
deavor to stir up the British people to
do justice to their fellow men of South
Africa. This attempt to bully wom-
an defender of women a. d children,
objects of B -itish cruelty, is in keeping

Still Leading.

The Ohio break in the Democratic
alignment is matter of hot weather
political comment. Writers of political
articles are able to show--concusively
TO them selves-that M Bryan will, or
will not, be the candidate again in
1904. Mr. Bryan regards the refusal of
the Ohio Democrats to endorse the
Kansas City platform as a triumph of
the gold Democrats, and foretells an
other struggle within the party similar
to that of 1896.
Mr.. ToHne of Minnesota, P0pulist
candidate for vice-president in 1900,
regards the free silver issue as abso-
lutely dead in the West. He believes
it will not be mentioned in the plat
form or campaign of 1904, that the
convention of that year will be re-ac-
tionary, and expects to see David b.
Hill of New York nominated for the
presidency. He expects, further, to
see Bryan leading the elements in the
party that still cling to the platforms of
1896 and 1900. SO far Mr.. Towne's
views seem to accord with those of Mr..
Bryan, in which he sees in 1904 an
other struggle like that Of 1896.
Many things may happen between
this present time and the assembling
of the convention of 1904. 1t may be
that there will still be enough of the
silver issue left in the West to encour-
age Mr.. Bryan to head forlorn hope
in its service; but, having led his party
in two great, though unsuccessful, cam
paigns, it does not seem probable that
he would consent third time to head
any movement that represented less
than majority of his old folio wing.
| II is hardly reasonable to locate Bryan
at the head of petty faction of the
great host that followed his banner in
two campaigns, though Mr.. Towne,
who ought to know his old leader as
well as any one else, says he would ex'
pect to see him still leading a group
that would not abandon the old plat
| forms.
