NOTHING VERY SERIOUS.

The flag incident at Skagway, if il
results in no more, will tend to re
vive the boundary dispute between
this nation and Great Britain and
possibly hasten the time when the
matter will be finally and definitely
settled. The presence of the flag, as
explained by the officials of both gov
ernments, was not intended as an as
sertion of British sovereignty but
merely as a matter of convenience to
those having to ship goods beyond the
line OF the disputed territory and into
that over which Great Britain has ac-
knowledged sovereignty. The fur
Their explanation is made that Amer
lean custom officers on Canadian soil
have been given the right to raise the
flag of this country over thir offices
for the same purpose, consequently
the Canadian chief customs officer
wrote to his representative in Skag-
way that he had the same privilege
in regard to flying the flag of his
country on this side of the line. The
fact that the obnoxious emblem was
cut down by a private citizen, who
thought it's presence was an assertion
of territorial authority over disputed
ground, will also tend to deprive the
act of much of the nor serious i'm

oMAHA's NEW CRUSADE.

Omaha has a church. described az
the most fashionable which has in
a%ugurated a new crusade. It is moth
ing more or less than an edict
against hat wearing by women wor.
shippers during the hours that ser.
vices are in progress. The minister
and the trustees have formulated the
rule that no woman wearing a hat
may be permitted to occupy a pew.
The order includes bonnets also. The
resolution promulgating the order re-
cites that the presence of hated and
bonnetted women acts as an impedi-
ment in gaining goodness and is
detrimental to the success of the OBJ
jects for which divine worship is
held. AS a partial concession to the
wearers of the latest creation of the
milliners art, women are permitted
to keep on their head coverings until
they seat themselves, when they
must remove them. Just in what
manner hats are detrimental to sue
cessful worship is not stated in the
order, but the %supposition is that the
female portion of the congregation
in the past has been accustomed to
pay more attention to the inspection
Of the bonnets and hats worn by one
another than to what the minister
has been saying. Then, too, it is
possible that the trustees and min
lister have arrived. at the conclusion
that study of styles and mental cal
culations as to the probable cost of
of the respective hats which came un-
der the observation of each feminine
worshipper seriously interfered with
a complete bendingof the mind tothe
more important matter for which the
congregation is supposed to assem-
BILE. Whatever the objection, the
rule has been issued and is being en-
forced and there is at least one
church in Omaha where the women,
as in the better class of theatres, sit |
bareheaded. during the time service
is in progress.

IT E WEBSTER.

AS was expected, the Record,
newspaper published at Helena ant
which attempts to be the self-ap
pointed mouth-piece for the republi
can party in the state, takes excep
ton to what The Gazette had to sa,
regarding the appointment of c. M
Webster to the office Of customs col
lector for this district.
Notwithstanding all the Helena
sheet may say in defense of Mr.. Web
ster The Gazette still contends tina,
he was not entitled to the appoint
ment from the standpoint Of party
policy. Mr.. Webster had served four
years in the best office within the
gift of the party in the state and a
sense Of modesty should have com
PEELED him to step aside.
Rotation In Office is conducive to
party success, and If the Helena Rec
ord and the gentleman for whom 1t
speaks, Mr.. Webster, think for d
moment that a monopoly Of the fed
eral offices in the state is the pecu-
liar right of any individual or coterie
and intend to act on that belief they
will find that republican success in
will be a thing of the past.
AS The Gazette has said before,
nothing can be said personally
against the new appointee to the Gus
Office at Great Falls. But un-
der the circumstances the appoint
nent of Mr.. Webster is Objectionable
and in this contention many republi.
of the state join The Gazette.

ENTITLED TO SYMPATHY.

Life is not one sweet song to the
man who in a moment of weakness
allows himself to be talked into &C
cepting a position on a Fourth of
July arrangement committee. The
men who have charge of the matter
of providing amusement and diver
sion on the nations day for the Phil
adelphians thought they had booked
the greatest attraction ever offered
on a like occasion to the Quakers
when they secured the Chinese min
lister, WI Ting Fang, as orator Of the
day. They advertised the fact in
every possible manner and Mr.. Wu's
name was printed in the largest type
the posters could accommodate and
the redest ink the printer could mix,
while they chuckled and compliment
ed themselves upon their success and
genius as amusement purveyors.
Now, at the last moment, in steps the
Chinese-American society and de-
mands that Mr.. Wu's engagement be
cancelled and another name substi-
tuted for speaker. The charge is
made against the star that he covert
ly aided the boxers in their massa-
cres of Christians and has been mis-
leading the great American people
by his statements in regard to his
position toward them.
But the Philadelphia committee is
not the only one which finds objec-
tions entered against it's programme.
Across in Minnesota there is a town
called Luverne.7 Its people conclud
ed to have a celebration and after
passing the hat and holding the GUS
tomary meetings they selected a
committee to prepare a programme.
As Mr.. WI had been spoken for and
other engagements made it impossi-
BILE for Aguinaldo to accept the fiat
tering offer made to him by the com
mittee, the members, still bound to
give the people the worth of their
money and draw the crowds from
envious rival towns, dazzled the APP
pointing power by flashing guadily
colored posters on the community an
nouncing a prize fight between two
famous hard hitters as the stellar
of the day. Now any other
town, especially if no larger, than
would have passed a vote of
to the committee and appoint
ed them life members of all other
Fourth Of July committees that might
be organized. Instead, the minis
tiers took it up, then the county at
torney interfered and now threats
are made to appeal to the governor
case the local authorities fail to
prevent the fight. At last accounts
the committee stood pat and declar-
that the iht would take place as

OUTLOOK FOR WOOL.

Unless they can do something tt
prevent it, the democratic editors O.
the state who have been using thu
threatened low prices for wool at the
beginning of the season as one O
their principle arguments against Z
protective tariff, are likely to fine
themselves deprived or the ammuni
ton which they have been using sc
lavishly. Although the market may
be said not to have opened as yet
still there is a p%erceptible advance
over the prices which it was said
would prevail, and with every pros
pect that before the season closes
prices almost as high as those paid
last year, which, it might be said
were phenomenal, will rule the mar.
ket. Twelve cents a pound has been
paid for wool in the Billings market
during the present week, and that
too, when competition has been
weak, only a few buyers being rep.
resented SO far. Even if the market
should not go any higher, twelve
cents is a marked improvement owe

vailed during the days of the Wilson
bill and when democratic ideas of
trade wer dominant.
1t is early in the season to say DOS
itively that prices even approximate
ly as low as those that we're paid dur.
ing the days Of Cleveland will rule
the market. Every indication is to
the contrary and it is much safer to
predict a material advance over pres
ent prices than to say there will be
a retrogression. Buyers naturally
try to secure the staple at the lowest
possible figures and make the greatest
possible profit on their purchases.
hence 1t would be unreasonable to
expect them to open the season by
proclamation of top prices. Last
year, when wool reached the highest
prices ever paid in the markets of
the state, the buyers did not enter
the field with the announcement that
they intended to pay the prices they
found themselves compelled to nav

ANOTHER CHAPTER CLOSED.

turned to civil life, except such q,
may have re-enlisted, of whom Their,
were a goodly number, and theil
places have been taken by regulars

little one that the government would
find itself forced to resort to con
scription to fill the new regiments

charged at the Preside last Sunday
were the last of these who responded
to the call of the government when it

good and honorable service and re-

ing battled in a just and patriotic
cause.
They helped to place the flag where

liberty to a people who for centuries
had been the victims of misrule and

their blood and consecrated for all

U~nheralded they return and with the
same modesty with which they took

zenship and become units of the
great nation for whose cause they
gave battle. The regulars will take

occasion demand will be found no
less patriotic and willing to render

beets and the success that has at

text for the encouragement Of SINH

Bitter Root valleys are almost iden-
teal with those existing in the val

reason can be advanced why beet

ALLEGED A N A U

1t is much easier to secure the in
dictment of a man than to convic,
him afterwards when tried upon the
charge or charges alleged in the in
dlctment against him. Only one. side
is heard by a grand jury, while the
accused, who has no opportunity to
put in a defense before the indicting
body, is not only heard on trial, but
is permitted to produce witnesses by
whom he may expect to prove his
innocence. For this reason the men
who have been indicted at Helena for
illegal acts in connection with secur.
ing title to government timber land
in Missoula county are still a long
way from being established guilty and
convicted. The Gazette knows moth
ing abouts the merits OF the case and
has no opinion as to the guilt or limo.
cence of the accused. In common
with others it has heard that frauds
have been committed, not only In
Missoula, but in others Of the western
counties of the state in connection
with securing government titles to
valuable timber lands. It has no in
terest in the matter other than a
desire to see justice done and the
conservation of the rights of both
sides to the controversy. If the men
accused are guilty beyond doubt it
hopes that they may be punished
as they deserve, but if they are inno-
cent it hopes with equal earnestness
that they may be able to establish
that innocence. The question is one
in which every citizen of the state
is interested to the same extent that
this newspaper is interested and all
will join in the wish and hope that no
mistake may be made on either side
and that both the defendants and the
government may receive exact and
full justice, no more and no less.

TIMES HAVE N

The republican party does not
claim the credit for making the life
giving sun to shine or the bounteous
rains to fall and produce the plenti-
GUS crops which are reported from
every portion of the country. The
same natural phenomena would prob
ably have occurred were there a dem
|ocrat in the white house executing
the laws passed by a democratic con-
gress, but there would not be the
same scarcity of help to garner those
crops that now exists. The farmers
of Kansas would not find themselves
driven to the expedient of holding up
railroad trains by force and COM
polling the working men found on
board to work in their fields at $3.50
a day. Yet this occurred a few days
ago, when a party of farmers of
Usage county stopped a Santa Fe
train and at the muzzels of guns and
pistols forced several hundred, or to
put 1t accurately correct, 200 harves-
tiers, who were en- route to the west
to get off and accept work from them.
Even at the wages offered the men
resisted and a lively fight ensued be-
tween the parties in which several
on each side were seriously injured.
A compromise was effected and the
~harvesters accepted the wages offer
ed and left the train, going across the
prairie under the guidance of the
farmers who had impressed them to
begin work.
One may long search the files of
the newspapers of the country to find
a similar occurrence recorded as hav.
ing taken place during the days when
Grover Cleveland sat where McKin-
ley now sits and the Wilson bill was
the chloride of sodium that was be-
ing injected into the trade arteries
of the country to give it prosperity
and vitality. There is a vast differ
ence between having to hunt with
shOtguns for men to do work at big
wages, and the country swarming
with idle men vainly searching for
work and having to subsist on public
charity. The conditions are v
ed. When Cleveland was presiden:
men used guns to force those who
had to give them something, while
now those that have use guns to
force something upon those who have
not. Still, prosperity is only appar-
ent, not real, as MI. Bryan and his
friends will tellyou, and those Kansas
farmers were simply laboring under
a delusion when they thought their
crops would spoil for want Of labor
to care for them.
