TRAINMEN AS SuERIFFS.

Trainmen running on railroads in
Illinois are greatly wrought up by the
Introduction of bill in the legisla-
ture of hat state which looks to maxi
ing all of them deputy sheriffs. The
men do not want the bill to become
law, and they are working hard to de-
feat the measure. The bill provides
that every passenger train man shall
be forced to assume the role Of deputy
sheriff with full authority to enforce
the laws of the state and with full
power to arrest any person creating a
disturbance or doing criminal act
upon any passenger train or on the
property Of any railroad company in
all counties of the state of Illinois.
Every train shall become a jail in
case Of an arrest by a member of the
crew until point on the line is
reached where the prisoner may be
conveniently turned over to the proper
authorities.
The bill further provides that each
trainman running on any line in Illi-
neis shall secure his commission from
the county in which he lives and that
he deposit bond of $1,000 pledging
himself to execute the duties of the
Office, just as a regula ar deputy sheriff
is pledged to do. For these services
the trainmen are to receive cOmpensa.
tion from the state.
| Many plans have been tried to stol
the train robbing industry. During
the session of the last Montana legis
iature Representative Conner intro
duced a bill making successful trair
robbery or train wrecl1ing punishable
by death and an attempt, at either pun
ishable by Imprisonment for life. The
bill was killed before it reached sec
Ond reading.

man. When he was 36 years old he
went to Chicago and started in busi-
ness on a small scale, knowing the
butcher business, how to buy live
stock and how to sell it. That was
thirty.four years ago. When he
started he had such competitors as
P. D. Armour. Cudahy and G. H.
Hammond, who already had a great
business. He met them and soon
equaled them.
His fortune and the extent of his
trans actions is tribute to the Swift
business man. Here is something
about him hat leaves out the man of
business and tells of Swift the bene-
factor:
"Since Mr.. Swift came into the pos
session of millions he has been always
a friend of charity. But he gave for
charity's sake, not for notoriety. It
is said of him that he always Stunned
publicity in great or small acts OF
charity. His contri buttons to the
needy and to churches of all denomi-
nations reach into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, but even those
who have been the closest to him ad.
nit that the full amount of his giving
will never be known.
''He is said to have been one of the
first employers who conceived the CO.
operative plan among the men who
worked for him and many of his men,
both in managerial and lesser posi-
tions, have been surprised from time
to time by receiving certificates of
stock from an anonymous source, al
though they were aware that these
certificates came from him.
''There were many poor persons
within a short distance of his home,
and his old neighbors say few worthy
men or women who went to his..house
to ask aid came away empty handed
Morning and night as he passed up
and down the street he was hailed by
housewives and by urchins, all OF
whom gave him a pleasant good
morning.''

RESTOCKING BOER FARMS.

Montana cattlemen who went south
this spring for the purpose of buying
cattle, have returned, with one excep-
tion, without making purchases, the
reason being the prices asked by the
Texas breeders. Texas cattle are
worth in many instances more than
they were few years ago, due to the
fact tina they are better bred, but the
Montana men do not feel there is any
money in them at the present prices.
One reason for the stiffness of the
Texans is that they have found new
market for their surplus, and that is
South Africa. Just previous to the
Boer war the South African cattle
suffered from the rinderpest, and the
herds were decimated. Then came the
war, and what made inroads on those
that had escaped the pest. The Brit
ish government is trying to restock
the Boer farms with cattle, and it has
agents in Texas buying up cattle,
which are shipped from New Orleans
to South Africa. The Brtishers pay
good prices for the cattle, they say
they are better suited for the Boer
country than any other, and the Tex
ans are taking advantage of the situ'
alton. Already 5000 Texas cattle
| have been contracted for to be ship
ped during this month, and if they
land in fair condition, others will be
| bought.
During the South African war the
dealers in mules found sale for all O.
the surplus stock in the south to the
British government. The tr ade KEEP
up for several months, and towar(
the close there were strong objections
raised to it, but the traffic was a bis
thing for the men who were in the bus
mess ofralsing the long cared ami
mails for market.

RICHES DID NOT SPOIL HIM.

1t is unfortunate that the people and
the newspapers leave unsaid until a
man is dead the good things they can
say about him, and if he is very veal
thy or very prominent little space is
accorded to telling of his good traits,
while columns are used insinuating
other things.
This is brought most forcibly to
mind in connection with the death Of
G. F. Swift, the millionaire packer of
Chicago, last Sunday. Only Il few
days before his death, the papers
printed columns about the formation
of the packers trust, of which Swift
was one of the prime movers, aud not
| a word was said about the good that
the organizers of the trust. The day
after the death of the packer the Chi
cago papers devoted columns to tell
ing about his life, and there is such ;
ring Of sincerity about the statement:
made that the critical reader is con
vinced that the things stated are the
truth.
The story of the life of Mr.. Swift i
an interesting one. While he diet
leaving a fortune of $50 1000, 900, an'
the sales of his house last yea
amounted to 5000, 100000, that doe
not tell all the story. He started il

THIS MAN TALKS SENSE.

1t is refreshing when one runs across
declaration such as was made the
other day by j. J. Smallwood, a Vir-
ginia colored man and president of a
negro college at Claremont, Va.
Smallwood was in Chicago and was
addressing an audience of his own
race. AS rule the utterances on the
negro problem that get into the pa
pers are those of the extremists on
both sides. The white men who talk
in public as a rule insist on treating
all negroes the same and as though
none are human, and on the other
hand the colored men who get into
print insist upon the same classifica-
tion so far as regards color, and con.
tend that as God made both the white
and black man, therefore they should
be social equals.
But Mr.. Smallwood does not think
so. This is the way he would solve
the problem:
"The solution of the negro problem
lies with the negro himself. 1t can
be brought about by his acquiring
land, saving money and educating his
sons. There is nothing in the cry
about social equality. The negro
does not want it and does not expect
it.
SAT the close of the civil war the
negro had nothing. Since then he has
accumulated $500, 100000 worth ol
property. He has built up ninety. six
institutions of learning and the race
has furnished $4,000 school teachers
He has turned his attention to buying
land and this will eventually result in
the solution of the race problem.
II have no objection to a law re-
quiring negroes to ride in seperate
coach on the railway. What l dc
want ia division of the coach sc
that we would not have to mingle with
the element in our race tn at is shunnel
by the educated whites in theirs.'

The reciprocity treaty with Cuba
has beed ratified, but it will be some
months before it will go into effect. 1t
will be necessary for the house to act
upon it, and it is understood that the
president will call an extra session Of
congress just before the regular ses'
sion of congress-, so that action can
be had within the time limit. The
Cubans have had a long time to wait,
ba, it looks as though they would get
what they have asked for, at least to
some extent, despite the strong fight
put up by the beet sugar interests in
this country.

SUITS THE RAILROADS.

The Elllins law, passed at the recent
session of congress-, which prohibits
railroad companies from issuing free
transportation to shippers, appears to
be most satisfactory to the railroad
companies. For Il number of years
the railroads have been working with
the object of cutting off free transport
tatiOn and at the same time not get
the i'll will of the big shippers. There
have been presidents, agreements,
rules by traffic associations, by pas
senger associations and other railway
bodies, but they have not worked sue
cesssully because the weaker lines, to
get business, would give passes, de-
spite all agreements, and then the
stronger lines had to follow suit.
But what the railroads could not do
themselves congress has done for
them. Under the Elkins law the pun
ishment for accepting free Transports
ton is severe, and the givcr of it is
just as sure of a severe penalty. The
law only applies to Interstate bust
ness. but the railroads now constlu,
it to apply to state business as we'll
The executive officials of western rail
roads held a meeting the other day

THIS is the week when the candi-
dates for municipal offices in Montana
are real busy. AS is usual, Butte is
the seething cauldron, and over there
it is politics every minute of the n
hours. The fight is really between
Pat Mullins, the antitrust democr at
candidate, and Henry Mueller, the
candidate of the democrats, republi'
cans and citizens. Larry Duggan, the
labor candidate, will be, judging from
latest reports, a poor third in the
race. Missoula has a municipal fran
chise fight on, and other towns have
their political and other troubles. The
smaller towns, where no one makes a
business of local politics, can look or
while their larger sisters fight and cal
each other names.

COMBINE OF THE PACKERS.

The combin alton of the great pack
ing interests of Chicago, Omaha, ST.
Joseph, New York aud Kansas City
has been effected, and this fall the C. at
tie growers of Montana will have the
opportunity of testing the truth Of the
observations of the packers, made six
months ago, when they said that the
proposed com bina alton of the packing
interests was not for the purpose of
buying cheaper and selling higher,
but to save money in operating the
plants.
The men who have been trying to
bring about the consolidation have
been working on the plan for almost
year. March 18th the articles of in
corporation of the company, which is
design ated the National Packing com.
pany, were filed in New Jersey, and it
was not until five days later that the
news Of the completion of the work
was given out Jesse P. Lyman form
erly of the G.. H. Hammond firm, is
the president Of the company, and the
concerns bought by the National are:
Omaha Packing Company, Chicago
and Omaha.
Hammond Packing Company, Oma-
ha and St. Joseph.
G. II. Hammond Company, Chicago.
Hutchinson Packing Company,
Hutchinson, Kansas.
Anglo-American Provision Com.
pany, Chicago.
United Dressed Beef Company, New
York.
Fowler Packing Company, Kansas
City.
Ia order to have a fuller under.
standing Of the tuation, it must be
remembered that the companies emu
merated above do not comprise all of
those in the National. The first COM
bination was that of Armour e. Com
pany, Swift & Company, and Nelson
Morris Company. These three com
bined first and now the National is
formed. Owners of these control the
stock in the other seven, making the
combined capital represented $7l sos,
600. In other words, the Morris, Ar
mour and Swift interests now control
the packing business of the country.
There are but two packing companies
of any consequence out Of what may be
termed the packers trust. They are
the Cudahys and Schw arschild & Sulz
berger. But it is the National tha
will fix the prices for western cattle
for western sheep, and for live stocl
from all other sections. The cattle
growers living near the great center!
will not be to such an extent at tht
mercy of the packers as will the range
men in the northwest. The middle
western grower can in few hour!
ship his stock home if he finds tn,
combine is too harsh. But the west
ern man from the northwest when h
gets his cattle into Omaha or Chicago
must sell, and he must sell quickly
LIZ Is doooiuuely dt VIC mercy Ol Cl
packers, and with all competition
eliminated, if he gets such prices TO
his stock as he has been getting in tn
years when there has been competion
then we may say the millennium ha
come. 1t will be the first time ther
has been combin alton Of great in
terests, having almost absolute powe
over supply and demand, that ha
acted as fairly as when it had to con
pete with rivals in business.
