Mr.. Aims Grievance.

The Bee reluctantly publishes the
following chapter in the controversy
of the wrestlers. The matter had
about ceased to be of public interest
and is only reopened as courtesy
to a stranger in a strange land, who
confesses himself unsophisticated:
Editor of the Kalispell Bee: Dear
Sir--I will kindly ask just one favor
of you, to publish these few words
in your paper. | am speaking the
truth to the world. My friends, this
is my last word. l have to say l
am only struggling in this world for
my rights.
| have wrestled in Sweden and in
Australia and New Zealand East In
dies, England, and all along the At
lantic coast, from Boston to Buenos
Ayres, South America, and l have
never had a man treat me in the
manner Mr.. O'Neill of Kalispell did.
The first time Mr.. ONeill asked
me to come to this city, he told me
in letter that he had given all his
money to a Swede friend of mine in
Kalispell, and for him to back me
against O'Neill, SO he would get a
grand opportunity to soak all his
own friends and make lot of money
for both of us.
But O'Neill wanted me to lie down
for him in Great Falls in a return
match, which | refused. Mr.. O'Neill
sent a letter to Mr.. Shaffer, the man
ager of the Stockholm music hall OF
Great Falls, and asked him to fix it
with me, but | am not that sort OF
| man, so l strictly refused.
On the following Friday, Mr.
Cooney. the sporting editor of the
Great Falls Leader, asked me whyl
did not go to Kalspell that day, but
| | answered him that | would moi
| wrestle a man that offered to lie
down to me in order to cheat his
own and b3st friends, for it would
give me no credit whatsoever. Mr.
Cooney win prove this for me.
He also proposed to me that We
| have another match on the 3Oth O.
May, Decoration day, out at the fail
grounds, that was supposed to be
our main harvest, and for us to wres
| tie no holds barred but he was K
make a kick at the ring side abou
that, and we both would agree t.
draw stlaws, and for him to put The
long st straw next TO me so | would
know how to draw To win out fo
all holds to go. And after a fal
apiece | was to put the strangle holt
on him and strangle him so | would
gain a second fall on him. Then h
was supposed to call doctor to eX
anime him, as he would act disabled
and the doctor was supposed to de
clare him too sick to go on the ma
any more, so that would give me tn
match.
All this was schemed out by MI
ONeill from the start. Mr.. O'Neil
was also to give me all the none
he could possibly raise to bet o.
myself, and then divide the profits
but also added to be careful whom
picked out for stakeholder, and, @
course, l said yes.
And from what | have heard OF MI
ONeill before. agreed to ever!

1t was month ago yesterday when
he took the oath of his new Federal
position, which we hope he will not so
lightly break as he once did when wear
ing the ermine, in order to become the
head of the revolutionary junta of mis-
sionary descendants. But that has gone
by and is of the past; now we must
look to the present and the future;
and in this latter case, we herewith
tender him our paeon of praise, weak
and insignificant as it may be, for
what he has been to the people of the
land of his accidental birth. For the
rest, we leave to posterity to record
for and against him.

TOPICS OF THR DAY.

One of the things that might make
the stay of the American feet here
pleasant on both sides would be, in
addition to aquatic and athletic sports,
a program of istlc events, All of the
war vessels have excellent fighters
aboard and in every class. There are
men in numbers fitted to meet any
local pugilist, and an evening of ring
events could be easily pulled off. The
idea is commended to the committee
having the matter in charge.

To him alone as President of the Pro-
visional Government and of the Re-
public of Hawaii, and finally as Gov
ernor of this American Territory, are
the Hawaiian people indebted for the
preservation of whatever rights be-
longed to them, which the hotheaded
revolutionists wished to carry to the
farthest extreme by disfranchising
them those inalienable rights as sons
OF the soil. But of course, he was not
himself nor did he have all the say,
for he was merely the tool and the in
strument in the hands of such unscru-
pulous fellows as l.. A, Thurston, w.
O. Smith, Judge Hartwell, f. M. Hatch
and the likes. Had it been either A.
Francis Judd, L. A. Thurston, w. o.
Smith and a few others, we might now
be telling a different tale.

ter. We understand conditions and
the situation thoroughly, and say now

vided.

What do the sugar planters of Ha-
waii, who have been so strenuously
shouting for Roosevelt, now think of
the President? He has given to Cuba
treaty that will make that country
the greatest sugar producing spot on
earth, and will reduce the price all
over. Other countries are to demand
the same treaty, under the most fav-
ored nation clause, and will probably
get it, The President has struck a
death blow to the sugar interests of
Hawaii in order to gain the good will
and support of the Sugar Trust.

President Roosevelt's reciprocity
treaty with Cuba was simply a bid for
the Wall street and New England vote
in the next election. 1t was a good
card, if New York is to be the pivotal
State, but it may, after all, result in
killing enough votes in the beet dis
tricts of the West to more than Offset
New York. The effect upon the South
will not amount to much one way or
the other, as Mr.. Roosevelt has al
ready hung himself in that part of the

Public opinion and Irrigation.

The change IN public sentiment
on the subject Of irrigation was strik
ingly shown by the widespread in
terest manifested in the National r.
rigation Congress at Ogden last
week. Eastern papers which here
tofors have either ignored the sub
jeot or been hostile to it, printed ad-
equate reports Of the meetings, with
editorial comment of a more friendly
tone. The attendance was larger
than ever before, the enthuiasm was
greater, and the returning delegates
are unanimous in declaring it the
most successful meeting ever held.
This gratifying result has been at
tanned by ceaseless agitation. 1t is
only q few years ago that the whole
idea of irrigation was looked upon

government lending its aid to the
extension of the scheme excited a
storm Of protest against what was
regarded as graft" The Irrigs-
ton Congress was considered OF
little Importance, and received only
slight mention in the papers.
How different now! The Presi-
dent OF the United States, familiar
with westesn needs and western pos

and secured its passage. Already a
