men to support him in his purpose to
crush the anti-Castro force, which has
grown so formidable recently. The
Venezuelan executive describes in

Anarchy has struck deep its
claws into the bowels of our country,

The matter of domestic help has

people of Fergus county ave had to
contend with. Today there is a stand

domestic help and in an emergency

what was offered. In a sparsely set

impossible to get help quickly, If at

DRAWING TO A o

One OF the most important cam
paigns in the history of Montana is
drawing to a close. Next Tuesday the
electors of this state will declare by
their ballots whether Montana is to
be purged of the shameless state OF
affairs that have existed for the past
six years. Ambitious m~illionaires and
INSCRIPTIONS mining litigants have
done more to place Montana in the
category of undesirable states than
the %utterances of a thousand Grover
Clevelands. Not satisfied with confin-
ing their quarrels to Silver Bow county
they are endeavoring to make them
an issue in every county in the state.
Between W. A. Clark and F. Aug
ustus Heinze there Is no choice. Two

wanted to use Clark it was all of.

than the deposits In the savings banks.
These deposits represent the amounts
OF their daily and weekly savings oy,
er the expense of living.
In the year 1901 the amounts on
deposit in the savings banks of the
United States exceeded by the sum of
~$6sO.0OO.OOO those amounts in the
year 1896.
And the individual deposits in the
national banks OF the United States
in the year 1901 exceeded those Of
1896 by the sum of 81, 29S. 064, S39; or
a total increase Of bank deposits OF
nearly two thousand millions of dol
lars.
These figures are taken from the re-
ports of the treasury department of
the United States, and are absolutely
correct.
They show conclusively that the Ia

received the greatest amount OF BEN

There seems to be a strong under
current among Republicans for some
tariff revision which will rectify Ger.
tain abuses claimed to exist as a re-
suit of our protective policy. But it
should not be thought for a moment
that a reversal of the policy of protec-
ton is intended. Changed conditions
may of necessity lead to the revision
of the tariff schedule, but the country
can rest assured that whatever
changes are made there will be none
so radical as to upset business. Dem
ocrats who claim to favor taritI reform
and urge the people TO vote for their
candidates on tariff grounds seem to
have lost sight Of the fact that their
success at the polls this fall would alb.
solutely prevent any such revision,

cratic house would propose would be

OUT WITH THEM ALL.

The Amalgamated Copper company,
through its superintendent. William
Scallon, announces that ii is out of
politics to stay and has no quarrel
with either the Democratic or Repub-
lican party. Now let Heinze get out
of politics with his litigation and the
bad odor of Montana campaigns viii
not permeate every nook and corner
of the state. The Republican party
wants a clean sweep of all the op.
posing elements. The Republican leg
i~slative candidates stand for the peo-
pie instead of any special class or cor
poration. John ID. Waite is not for the
Amalgamated company, the United
Copper Company, the Kerosene Oil
company nor any other company. He
is neither pledged to nor is he under
any obligation to any aspirant for SEN
atorial honors. Any assertions to the
contrary are false.
