While the people of Montana ap-
preciate all the nice things the st.
Paul Globe secs fit to say about their
new capitol, they must beg to be ex-
cused from accepting that newspa-
per's congratulations on the fact that
all of the state offices are filled by
democrats and populists. They will
make strenuous efforts next fall to
place themselves in a position where
no occasion will exist for Offering
further congratulations on the same
score. ~"
Although John Stuart Mill Neil has
come out personally for Lamont as
the democratic nominee for president,
the Helena Independent has as yet
manifested no wild and uncomfortable
desire to do the same thing. Lamont
is not in accord with the estimable
gentleman who edits that luminary
in Montana democracy when it comes
to the money question. The doctor
has not yet forgiven him for the part
he took in kicking the corpse after
the "~assassins" had struck the blow
that killed silver. He may come
around when John gets home, but moi
before that.
The American newspapers that are

Chinese Repels Active.

Hong Kong, April 16.-A couri-
or who arrived at Canton yester-
day reported that over 200 Inn
perialist soldiers sent by Marshal
Su against the rebels we're am
pushed in a narrow defile and all
were killed or captured.
The situation in the rebellious
districts of Southern China is in-
creasingly alarming. The vice

Pekin urging the immediate for
warding Of reinforcements.
Lack of news from General Ma
and Marshal Su is taken TO indi-
cate that the rebels have sur
rounded the imperial troops and
cut off communication with them.

Thread Mills for the South,

One of the recognized authorize
es on Sea Island cotton, Walter G.
Robinson, Of Gainesville. Fla,
is emphatic in the expression
of his opinion that the establish
ment of thread factories close to
the centers of the Sea Island belt
is practicable and altogether de-
sirable. He attaches particular
importance to the Southern cli-
mate as better adapted to the
spinning of fine yarns than that
of New England; then to the OPP
portunity-not existing elsewhere
of selecting the higher grades
of Sea Island right in the fields,
before shipment and without the
expense of sorting later on; and
there is no disadvantage whatever
in the matters of fuel and water
supply, labor or transportation.
While he does not himself suggest
it, the only thing liking is capt.
tai. Why should the American
consumers of sewing cotton be
forced to buy it at prices which
comprehend the hauling of the
raw staple Thousands of miles to
a mill, only to have it manu-
featured and distributed from
there, and in many instances &c
back over the same routes again.
What would we think Of the Mich.
gan furniture manufactures il
they were to ship their maple, oak

verse the present system by
establishing cloth factories il

Thread mills will eventually be es
tablished in the Sea Island Terri
tory, no doubt. And the capitals
