STRIKES ARE EXPENSIVE.

In the Inter Mountain of the 22nd
inst we published some data in regard
10 the cost of strikes which has brought
out many expressions from both en-
ployers and workingmen, indicating that
1t Is a topic which lies next to the heart
of the public. The figures which were
compiled under the auspices of the labor
department show that about as many
strikes were successful as those that re-
suited in failure and yet In the 13 years
up to 1894 the combined wage loss OF
strikes and ockouts reached the enor-
nous total of $3.50, 493, 173 This loss was
about equally divided between employers
and employed. Adding the amount paid
by unions to support these strikes the
aggregate loss to workingmen was
$204 900. 900.
To both employer and employed the loss
covered by a period of l3 years, was $23.-
900 a year. All the figures for last
year were not available, but a close esti-
mate places the total loss to the country
from labor troubles at $i30,00O 900.
Nothing can be added to these figures
to increase the potency of their protest
against the folly of strikes. Both the
employer and the employed should pom
der them well.

void and of no effect his previous Oft
repeated assertions and a few afiidavits
that 1t Is wrong ito organize and carry
on what the public understands to be a
trust. Mr.. Heinze has not only organ
ized a wicked and pernicious trust to

atmosphere of New Jersey to do It, 1t

Beaverhead woolgrowers have decided
to build large warehouse in Dillon in
which to store their wool, and they have
no doubt decided wisely. 1t Is stated by
the Tribune that in this warehouse all
the woolgrowers of Beaverhead county
will store their wool and then bid the
whole lot off in a lump to the highest
bidder. 1t Is thought that in this way
higher price will be secured than has
heretofore been paid The wool crop OF
the whole county being all stored in one
place where it can be seen. thus saving
the buyers the trouble and expense OF
driving all over the county to buy the
wool, is thought will attract more
buyers, and as a consequence a better
figure will be offered for the wool. The
Inter Mountain has believed that the
system of cooperation applied to the
wool industry would work out to the
advantage of the woolgroWers.

Montana Banks.
Northwest Magazine.1


The report of the condition of the
banks of Montana is an encouraging one
to the people of the state, and good in
dication of the general prosperity of our
cities. All classes have shared in the
prosperity, as is shown by the savings
bank deposits. There are deposits of
over $12,0O000O in the state banks. and
1T Is safe to estimate that the deposits
in the national banks of the state are
at least three and a half times as large
making the total deposits in the banks
OF the state over $50,00O0OO, not counting
those of the private banks. No state in
the Union can show such record, when
1t is taken into consideration that Nom
tana contains less than 25OOOO people all
told. When Is added to this the reports
of the products of this state, which
amount to over $100,000,000 a year. an
other record is broken, and shows that
there Is no state in the Union that can
compare with Montana for wealth and
productiveness. when the population is
taken into consideration. These
splendid records are better every year.
and Montana has the brightest pros.
poets for the future ever known in Its
| history, not excepting those of the
boom years. Best of all, there is nc

1t is not surprising that the gifted
Mary MacLane has received fabulous
offer to proceed by first train to New
York and take lofty position on the
staff of the New York World. Any liter
airy lady who can sit with her feet on
the lbureau-"always on the bureau'-as
she reduces her deep philosophy to
paper, is always certain of a lucrative
place on Park Row. Mary's style would
greatly refine and elevate New York
journalism, in proportion, of course, as
her feet are elevated. The eminent Mr..
Pulitzers intention no doubt Is to en-
ploy Mary, the Maid of Butte, to assist
him with her seething thoughts to
scorch and pulverze trusts. The sur
prising thing is that the high minded
Mr.. Hearst has permitted his hated
rival to secure an option on this bril-
liant child of the Rockies. AS for Mr.,
Pulitzer Offering Mary $10O week, the
thing Is preposterous. Mr.. Polutezer
knows full well that Mollie is worth a
million minute to either the World or
the Journal.

Streets Paved With Gold.

lSan Francisco Call
Reddings streets may be paved with
gold That sounds somewhat extrava-
CANT, yet in a measure it is not only
possibility, but very luminous proba-
blity.
This morning Charles w. Pope and J.
Fl. Bingham We're inspecting the quality
of rock and granite handy with view
of bidding on street work. While look
ing over the country adjoining the old
Dakin place on the hill in West Redding
they uncovered a ledge of quartz. The
specimens carried traces of gold.
Bingham states that this Is excellent
material for street work and when he
succeeds in getting contracts for the i'm
provements his firm will place a rock
crusher on this quartz ledge, crush up
the quartz and spread it on the thor
oughfares.
The rock Is a loW-grade quartz ana
will assay SO or $4 a ton. The next thing
in order will be to make cutters of cop.
per ore, which Is abundant.

SHADE TREES IN ItIt STREETS.

Butte with its 10000 people and Its
one shade tree cannot help but be In
terested in the shade-tree situation in
Paris. The French capital has popu-
lation of about two and a quarter mill
lions, and, according to Baron Hauss-
mann, who is the father of forestry in
France, has 1888 trees in rows along
the streets of the city while others are
found in great number in the private
parks squares and gardens The city
maintains an extensive tree department
and spends $4,000 a year on the street
trees that alternate with the lampposts.
When tree shows signs of disease,
big truck, drawn by four oxen, appears,
and, by the use of ingenious machinery.
the tree Is pulled up with roots entire
and sent to a tree hospital to be re-
planted and doctored Another tree In
full yigor Immediately takes it's place.
A corps of tree inspectors watches every
tree constantly. The soil is often re-
newed and the tree boxes are OF iron
A circle at the base of the tree, at least
three feet in diameter, Is covered only
with an iron grating. Twice a day the
trees are watered with hose, the sol
being SO furroWed that sufficient water
is retained to reach the roots.
The Globe Democrat of st. Louis
pointing to Paris as good example
says that the varieties planted along th
streets of the French capital are tn
horse chestnut, which is the first to pu
forth leaves in the spring; elms lndens
sycamores, acacias and the Japanes
sumac. Paris streets are so we'll shaded
and beautiful that certain street privi

money In turn Is expended on shad
trees The systematic beautifying of tn

Eat Less Meat.
[syracuse ost-standard.l

lOyfdcuSe
1t is an axiom of the old-fashioned
doctor that a meat diet once day Is all
anybody needs. Yet it is probably true
that the majority of people in this coun-
try deem themselves subject to hard
ship when not provided with some de-
scripton of meat twice or even three
times in each "a hours. In the New En-
gland states, where on account of the
lack of competition fresh meat prices at
retail have for many years ranged high,
the people have learned close economy in
the consumption of animal foods, and
find themselves better in health and bet
ter in pocketbook on account of their
enforced deprivation. In most European
countries also to eat meat is the ex-
ception rather than the rule even among
people engaged in the heaviest manual
toll, and those who are able to provide
for themselves and families diet of
meat two or three times a week are ac-
counted nabobs among their less opulent
neighbors.

WASHINGTON STATESMEN.

capitol. He was lost. Presently he met
u senator.

Certainly. was the reply. II will show

And so the senator carefully piloted the
old gentleman through the devious pas
sageways and helped him into the eleva-
tor and finally conducted him into Sena-
tor Quays committee room.
This is Senator Quay's room" he said
to the stranger. Whom do you want to

Senator Quay was the response.

Representative Stevens of Minnesota
tells an interesting story concerning his
trip to Cuba.
There Is a native prejudice in Cuba"
he said yesterday. against American
goods. At Santiago / met Philadel-
phia man travelling for linen house, and
went with him to the various merchants
of Santiago. Not one of these mer-
chants would consider any trade with
the United States They would not ex-
anime the goods. though the prices were
as low and the travelling man claimed
the quality and terms as good as would
be furnished by European competitors.
At Cienfuegos 1 met Boston travelling
0an who represented a boot and shoe
house. He had similar experience.
Only one merchant in Cienfuegos would
examine his goods The articles were
low. but the native taste preferred the
cheap Spanish product"
Speaking of republicans who are trying
! to be protectionists and free traders at
| the same time, Representative Fordney
| of Michigan tells this story:
"They are like an old root doctor out In
| my district" he says, who went to see
a man who was i'll with ague. He fixed
up two glasses OF medicine-'one for
fever and one for chlls,' as he said to the
| mans wife
But she said, they are both alike.
/ saw you scrape the bark off that root
and put the same bark in each glass
But you did not notice how did it, ,
| replied the doctor For chills / scraped
the bark up the root, and that makes 1t
high -cockalorum. For the fever / scraped
1t down the root, and that makes it low

"And with this explanation" says Mr.
Fordney, "the good woman had to be
satisfied"

The New York Marine Journal, which
is the best informed publication in the
United States on maritime affairs, and
whose utterances have weight in con-
gress, was not in favor of the clause In
the Chinese exclusion bill which sought
to exclude Chinese sailors from Ameri-
can ships. Naturally 1t is well pleased
because the clause was eliminated. The
esteemed Marine Journal Is published
on the Atlantic coast, and its interests
chiefly lie In that direction. This, no
doubt accounts for the milk in the
cocoanut. There are no Chinese sailors
coming into and going out of the port
of New York to trespass upon the rights
of American sailors, as there are at the
Pacific ports. 1t makes "a difference
whose OK Is gored, and it likewise makes
difference whose deck is trodden by
the sandals OF the Chinaman. The East
could have very well afforded to concede
| that clause In the bill to the West.
