is NOT OPPOSED.

Tri-County News: A dispatch TO
the Butte Miner from Billings n
that the last election, as far
as the court house was concerned in
Yellowstone county, was illegal; that
a special election would soon. be held
to vote on the question again; and
that the western part of the county
is opposed to the erection OF a court
house.
We desire to correct this last state
ment. Far from being opposed to the
erection of a court house, Columbus
has voted more decisively for a court
house in each OF the elections in the
past three years than ever Billings
has done. There was practically no
opposition to the project at the last
election here. Some of u citizens
are opposed to the action OF the cOun-
ty commissioners in allowing Archi-
tect Bell to engineer the affair, and in
as good as accepting his plans with
out using (as they believe) mature
d~eliberation. But this IS quite a diff
ferent matter from opposition to the
erection OF a court house. We were
assured that Columbus sandstone
would be given the preference in the
contract previous TO the election, but
it seems that the question of what
stone should be used was not men,
toned lat least openly by the COM
missioners. These gentlemen are
prominent in the county, and have
been considered among the best cit
liens, SO there has been the more sur
prise that they did not openly state a
preference for some Yellowstone
county building material, whether Co,
lumbus stone or Billings stone. If
the latter, cost and durability being
considered to be the better, let it be
stated openly; if the former, let 1t
also be stated openly. In either event.
it would be home industry that was
patronized; and If everything that
was promised before the election were
carried out afterwards, nobody would
have any ground for a kick.

that the merger will meet will be ia
arriving at the value os the respective

tenets, creeds and dogmas. which, as
all ecclesiastical history shows, are
highly valued and tenaciously held
by the others, It is casv to see that
a Morgan will be needed to bring
about an amicable agreement on this
point.

In one part of his address to the
Missouri Democratic Press ~associa-
ton Senator Stone was eminently
southern in expression. That palsy
m'-tongue-and-burn-m'-h heart sentence
was a corker, no mistake, and UNI
doubtedly made just the impression
desired, but he overdid it and spoiled
all effect when he borrowed from the
custom of the French senators and
declared that he laughed in the faces
OF his enemies and spat upon them.
Notwithstanding that he was address,
ing an audience of Missourians his
auditors knew that he meant the
phrase only in it's figurative sense and
not as an expression of a deed liter
ally performed. 1t sounded very well,
but M~issourians want something more
tangible and effective when it comes
to a mixup between enemies than de-
tiant language. In other words, they
must be shown. AS nothing has since
that occasion been sent out by the
Associated Press concerning n
sputaceous attention paid by the SEN
ator to some of those whom he says
have maligned him the probability is
that his neighbors are still waiting
for him to act and make good his
boast.

So far as the Western Union Tele-
graph company is concerned, for a
number of days there has been no
such place on the map as Butte, Mon
tana. D%espairing OF receiving protec-
ton for Its employees, the company
decided to close it's office there and
for the time being to retire from bus
mess. The difficulty had it's origin
in a strike by a lot OF boys, young
sters who were in the employ OF the
American District Telegraph COM
pany as messengers. Part of their
work was to deliver kilograms for the
other company. Not satisfied with
the wages they were receiving, they
made a demand for a raise. This was
refused and then they organized them

ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT

Minneapolis Journal: Some per.
sons, impressed by President Roose.
velt's great popularity, refuse to be.
lieve that there can be any opposition
to him worth mentioning, even in
New York. It is only necessary to
read the editorial columns of Harper's
Weekly to become convinced that the
attack of special interests on the
president has already begun. Harp
er's was very moderate at first, allow
ing only a word of mild reflection on
the president to appear here and
there, and even now 1t occasionally
gives him a complimentary notice that
serves. admirably to add to the force
OF the blows it deals him. After a
long and antagonistic review Of the
presidents Minneapolis tariff speech,
Harper's says:
1T would be idle to follow the pres
ident for the purpose Of making fur
Their exposures of his blunders. More
over, we should thereby lay ourselves
open to the charge of taking his
oratorical economics seriously. Con-
sciously or unconsciously, he is but
repeating the lessons which have
been taught the republican party and
the country by the leading apostles OF
the protective principle. The differ
ence between the apostles and the
president is, very likely, that while
they know that their talk is for the
deception OF the people and for the
benefit of the beneficiaries of the
present tariff, he may think that he is
uttering economic truths. Whether
he does think SO or not, he knows that
he is talking for personal and politi-
cal effect for his own denomination
and for his party's triumph in 1904.
Ii he is as ignorant as he seems he
is to be pitied and his youth is to be |
deplored. If he is not, if he knows the
truth, and say what is false, or what
is only half true, for the welfare of his |
party, it's leaders, it's beneficiaries,
and himself, he ought to be heartily
ashamed of his task and OF his per-
torrance"
We may expect to see more and
more of this sort OF criticism of the
president, with Harpers' Weekly and
many other organs like it and many
OF the great financial interests Of the
country prepared to support the dem
ocratic candidate for president in
1904, provided he be a "safe" man,
and there be some hope of a demo-
cratic victory.

Colonel Bryan's latest contribution
to the cause of harmony is likely to
produce a few more d%iscordant notes
and will probably necessitate another
returning of the instrument, despite
the gentleman's earnest declaration
that he is a firm believer in harmony
on all occasions and in everything. He
may be really sincere, but until he
stops welding the club he is always
prepared to swing and lets up on his
warlike demonstration he must par.

ment is accepted with just a trifie of
suspicion.

A PARTIAL INDICATION.

Unless Teutonic prejudice proves
strong beyond all reason, the Ameri-
can hog and steer should soon receive
the joyful tidings that their hams,
sides, 'middlin's," steaks and all the
other tidbits into which they are con.
vertible after death are no. longer on
the prohibited list of the German gov
eminent.
Doctor Wiley, chief OF the bureau,
of chemistry of the department of
agriculture, has completed his series
of experiments that he has been max
ing for a period extending over six
months for the purpose OF demonstrat-
ing the harmlessness or harmfulness
of the perservatives employed by the
American packers in their preparation
of meat products for export to for
eign countries. For a half year he
has been feeding a "class" of young
gentlemen, government clerks, on
various articles of food into the COM
position Of which entered borax and
salicylic acid. Careful note was made
during the period of experimentation
of the condition of the subjects and
they were under constant supervision
of the eminent gentleman who was d.
recting the test and submitted to daily
examinations. The results have more
than borne out the claims of the pack
ers that such things as borax and
salicylic acid are absolutely harmless.
Not only have the subjects of the ex-
pertinent emerged from the test with
health unimpaired, but they have alb
solutely improved in that respect. Ac-
cording to all reports they are the
possessors of cheeks so rosey as to be
the envy of every girl in Washing
ton, while their bodily vigor is great
fer than ever
Salicylic acid and borax having been
proved to be not only harmless, but
on the contrary absolutely beneficial.
Doctor Wiley is credited with the in
tention of soon beginning further ex-
periments with the idea of ascertain
ing the effects on the human system
Of the other preservatives used by the
packers, such as benZOic acid, for
maldehyde, sulphurous acid and ben
zoate of soda. Two or more years will
probably be required before the doc
tor will be in a position to make COM
plete and final report. But already a
great victory has been won in con-
sequence OF the partial completion
of the experiments. The greatest OBJ
lection made by the agragarians has
been against the use of boraX and
salicylic acid as meat p~reservatives
and it was on the score of this objec-
ton that the German government
enacted the legislation of which the
American packers complain SO much.

REASONS WHY DANBURY SHOULD
HAVE 1T.
The Connecticut School Journal,
printed at Meriden says:
Danbury's efforts to get the Normal
School have had one result-that of
scattering broadcast the true status of
the schools in the western part of
Connecticut. 1t has told the educa-
tors of this state where the normal
graduates are not.
Two of the strongest reasons urged
for by Danbury are it's geographical
position and it's railroad facilities.
The remoteness of Danbury from
normal school centers, a factor which
of itself ought to be the most convinc-
ing argument in her favor, has always
been cause of sincere regret to parents
in that vicinity whose daugh-
ters were anxious to take special
training for teachers positions.
The direct result is shown
in the teachers who are scattered
throughout every small village and
town in Litchfield-county. Girls with
ambitions to succeed have been depriv-
ed of right that is an inheritance of
every daughter of Connecticut. The
commonwealth of the Nutmeg state
has endowed it's youth with certain in
alienable rights, at the head of which
stands the Normal schools, free as
the elements that support life.
1t has been a source of consid-
cradle dissatisfaction for years that
there has been an abundance of
educational resources in Connecticut,
resources to which the people of Hitch
field county are entitled along with
other taxpayers in the state, yet they
have been cut off absolutely and en-.
tirely from the good things provided
In secluded towns among the hills OF
western Connecticut there are teachers
to-day who would have made them
selves foremost in the profession hac
the privileges which were theirs by right
been nearer their doors. We have E
