ROYAL SPARklERS.

June % is the date set for the corona
ton exercises of Edward VII. The cere-
monies will extend over two days and
will be the most elaborate that have been
seen in England in a generation. The
date on which the event takes place will
render the nobility who are clad in royal
purple and furs rather uncomfortable.
The ironclad rules of coronation cere-
monies govern, however, and the pre-
scribed regalia must be WORM
The great kohnoor diamond which will
blaze in the crown of Queen Alexander
at the kings coronation is an his
toric gem. 1t is the most famous of the
worlds diamonds. Queen Victoria used
to wear it on rare occasions and during
the early part of the gems notable his
tory She had it recut, reducing its size
to 1927 carats, its present weight. There
are a number of diamonds in existence
larger than the one in the possession of
England's royal family. The Orloff dia-
mond in the scepter of the Russian car
weighs 1913 carats. The Pitt diamond
weighs 106 carats and the Star of the
South tips the scale at 122 carats. The
emperor of Austria owns diamond
weighing 1894 carats and a Stone in the
possession of the king of Portugal is only
a carat lighter. The Kohinoor, however,
has the most remarkable history of any
royal bauble and no sparkler worn in the
bright array of royalty appearing at Ed
wards coronation will compare with it
In interest. The dazzling display of dia-
monds at the kings coronation will out
shine any similar sight the world has
ever looked upon.

A MARVELLOUS GROWTH.

1t has been a comparatively short time
since the wonders of the electric light
We're first introduced to the world. At
the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia
the fncandescent bulb was viewed as one
of the rare curiosities of the place. Now,
two decades later, the value of electric
lighting plants in the United States
amounts to seven hundred million dol
lars. Well-organized lighting companies.
furnishing gas to consumers at rate
much lower than electric lights could be
secured, have been forced to the wall,
invention has been stimulate and i'm
provement made the order of the day,
until electric light and power have be-
come indispensable to comfort and con-
venience in daily life. There is nothing
in the worlds history comparable with
this rapid development. The electric
light has become a veritable torch of
progress.

OUR BEST CUSTOMER.

For over century stabilized writer's on
political economy have pointed out the
evidences of decay in Great Britain. 1t
was cheerfuly predicted long ago that
the government could not survive ard
that each year would bring the nation
nearer the point where solvency would
cease. Despite the direful warnings the
commerce of England has extended, her
trade abroad has built up prosperity at
home and now her wealth is seven times
greater than it was at the beginning of
the present century. While the knowing,
ones believed that John Bull was escap-
ing financial ruin by the skin of his
teeth, he has really prospered and all
the world is glad that it is so.
No small share of the prosperity of
America depends upon the ability of
England to purchase the products of this
country. About ssventy-five per cent of
American trade is carried on with En-
gland. The relations of buyer and
disaster in an English financial center
would extend across the ocean in few
hours. In 1890 the total trade of the
United States was 1854 100000: now it
foots UP mighty total of s., 220 900, OO0
\ large portion of this added trade is
accounted for by increased export bust
ness With England. The moral drawn
from this is that We thrive when
our customers grow fat.

nOMfll'S CASE,

Governor Toole is called upon to decide
whether he shall commute the sentence
of Milton Howell of Fergus county or let
the sentence of the court be carried out.
The final step in defense of H-vells
life is being taken, in the hope of saving
him from the gallows, upon which he is
billed to play an engagement December
10. Howell and Thomas Rolling, both
employees of large stock companies, took
up their employers quarrel, and Roz-
ling got the worst of the encounter.
Neither man had a cents worth of inter-
est in the controversy Mawkish senti-
ment has often Influenced Montana
courts and juries to interfere with the
course of justice in such cases as the
one in which Howell is the principal
figure. The machinery of the law seems
to have worked perfectly so far. Howell
was followed for year by officers
brought back to Fergus county, tried and
convicted. The governor will in all prob
ability refuse to interfere in HoWelHs
case.

RECIPROCITY VITA CANADA.

Editor Inter Mountain-As reader OF
your editorial page, l notice your paper
opposes a revision of the tariff Is there
any good reason why there should De u
tariff on the goods sent into this country
from Canada? Is it not about the same
as one state trading with another:
A READER.
There are strong objections to sweep
ing away the tariff which protects Amer
lean workingmen from competition with
Canadian products. In the first place
the tariff on goods imported into Canada
from abroad are taxed 80 per cent less
than imports passing through our Gus
toms houses. Should the tariff wall be
torn down imports from every section or
the worlA would pay the lower Canadian
duty and invade our markets by crossing
the border into the United States. Then,
too, the immigration laws of Canada
differ from ours. The Canadian law ad-
hitting Chinese labor at $50 per head
would practically negative our exclusion
act without the additional protection Of
tariff. 1t is obvious that countries
which export the same kind of products
cannot join in reciprocal treaties unless
the conditions under which production
is carried on are equal
Last year the United States sold goods
to Canada to the amount of $lls,Sl6,ooo.
and Canadian goods We're sold on this
side of the line to the amount of $39.4eo.-
900. The favorable balance of trade which
is regular contribution to the conf
merce of the United States could not be
continued did not Canada have trade
with other countries which more than
offsets the debit account. 1t is unreal
sonahle to expect that Canada will ever
make her tariff duties uniform with
those of the United States. and the pros
poets for reciprocal trade relations, free
trade or other arrangements which do
not include tariff are exceedingly slim.
