GETTING PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
Burlington immigration Agents Look
ing Over Local Situation.


In response to the representations
made to the Burlington people by w.
T. Clark OF the Billings Land and Irri-
cation company in respect to the de-
sirability of this section as region
for colonization, two representatives
of the passenger department of that
railroad are at present in the. city
making personal Investigation. One
of them, Mr.. Crawford, halls from
Galesburg, ILL.,, and the other, J. H.
Mitchell, is from Ottumwa, Ia. Mr..
Crawford arrived yesterday with Mr..
Clark, while Mr.. Mitchell came in
last night, coming up from Cody,
where he made an inspection Of the
Big Horn basin.
Yesterday Mr.. Crawford, under the
guidance of Mr.. Clark and I. d. O'Don-
nell, paid a visit to the farmers to the
west of the city, many of whom he
interviewed in respect to the success
that has attended their efforts at farm
ing here, gaining all information possi-
bile as regards yield of crops, prices
received and other matters SO that
he could form an idea as to the pros
poets for further settlement of the
valley. Today he and Messrs. Clark
and Mitchell made tour of the valley
to the east, visiting the area to be
irrigated by the irrigation company.
While they have as yet not express
ed themselves, it is believed that the
agents are we'll satisfied with the
outlook and it is regarded as almost
certainty that as consequence OF
their visit considerable movement
of immigrants will follow next spring.
Mr.. Crawford said that large number
of families in his territory are de-
sirous of settling in the west and upon
his report will depend whether they
will select Billings or some other To-
cality in which to make new homes.

fight was holly on when many
of the leaders of the party now
making such an insistence, were
worse than lukewarm in the
cause.
"A party may indulge in self
congratu1ation when it has eff
fectively defended the people in
their daily life from the rapacity
of trusts, and com bination which
thrives as private enterprise is
strangled, and which grow fat as,
by their control of the cost of
living they cause the homes of
our land to grow lean; but the
people will hardly approve the
vociferous pride which claims
that successful attack upon the
merger of the stock of certain
competing railroads has rescued
them from their oppressors.
They will not fail to observe that
the huge com binations which
directly injure them still flourish,
and they may also recall how the
CONSERVATION among those i'm
plicated in such schemes who
once feared a general pursuit
was quoted when the soothing
assurance reached them that the
government did not intend to
run amuck." Nor will they
probably accept the suggestion
that repentance or a change of
heart accounts for the manner
by which the threats and ami.
mostly of many powerful trust
magnates have been displayed by
their approval and substantial
support Of the party which seeks
to convince the people of its
misunderstanding proclivities.

these burdens in mind they will

HUMILATING ASPECTS.

The former president was
chairman of the meeting. In
his address he said in part:
There are in my mind to-
night some aspects and incidents
of the cam paign which seem to
me so startling and so humi1iat-
ing that they should arrest the
attention of every thoughtful
citizen and arouse the anxious
solicitude of every patriotic
American. In a country like
ours, where parties contest for
the direction of the government.
we must, of course, expect party
advocacy and honorable personal
ambitions for political honors,
but who, among those indulging
IN the retrospect of political cam
paigns, can recall one in which
the advantages of present party
control have been so palpably
and unblushingly used for it's
perpetuation, or in which the
functions belonging to the entire
American people have been more
insolently forced to do partisan
service. When before has it
been so distinctly claimed that
all the virtues, the PATRIOTS m
and all the governing ability of
our citizenship are found amcng
the members of one political
party; and when before have
those of our citizens, not among
the chosen, been so boldly con-
sidered as aliens in their own
land, who should be cast into

MIR. CLEVELAND ADDRESSES
AN ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE.
thousands Strive IN Vain to Secure Standing Room Hear
Former President-Cheer After Cheer Burst Forth
When He Entered Carnegie Hall.

New York, Oct. 21.-Attract-
ed by the presence of Grover
Cleveland, thousands of people
struggled to gain entrance to
Carnegie hall tonight where the
former president of the United
States made his first and only
speech of the campaign.
John G. Carlisle, secretary of
the treasury under Mr.. Cleve-
land, was also a speaker and
shared with Mr.. Cleveland the
great burst of enthusiasm.
Every seat in the big auditorium
was taken while corridors and
aisles held their scores. Still
hundreds were unable to gain
entrance. This big Democratic
rally was under the auspices of
the Business Mems Parker and
Davis association, and J. Hamp-
den Robb, president of the or
ganization, presided.
Mr.. Cleveland arrived at the
hall shortly after s o'clock and
Immediately upon his entrance
cheers burst forth; the demon.
stration lasted seven minutes; it
died out and began again with
renewed vigor. Again and again
Mr.. Robb attempted to quiet the
crowd but was forced to his seat.
When Mr.. Cleveland saw Mr..
Robb's efforts were fruitless in
quieting the demonstration he
arose and held up his hand for
silence, but the people could not
be quoted for two full minutes
afterwards.

in addition to it's other sins, con-
tributes to situation that per-
mits com bination or monopoly
to sell abroad articles of our
manufacture at lower prices than
are exacted from our own citizens
at home. They will see the
sheer wrongfulness of this con-
dition SO clearly, and they will
so firmly believe that in this way
they are made to bear tariff bur-
dens, in order that they may be
disseminated against in favor of
foreign consumers, that they will
not be satisfied with the assur-
ance that the tariff has nothing
to do with trusts. They will
consign such an explanation to
the limbo of negation, to take
its place with the outworn de.
ceptlon that the foreign expor.
ter pays our tariff taxes, and
with two other sadly weak pre-
fences -one that the tariff should
be reformed only by it's friends,
and the other that the party
which believes that a protective
tariff policy sought to be con
sidered as definitely established
loves reciprocity in trade.

outer political darkness as I'M
worthy to be entrusted with the
power and responsibility of a
government established by the
people and for the people?
When in all our history has a
party so presumptously as now
claimed to be the donors of the
gifts of God, or when has one so
persistent1y plumed itself upon
the creation of all the prosperity
that has fallen to our country's
lot?
CLAIMS OF INFALLIBILITY.
Never before has our people
been so belabored with PARTY de-
liverances which in every line
and every word, from platform
declarations to the last appeal of
party advocacy are so saturated
with conceited and tiresome
claims of infallibility, and with
supercilious disdain of all politi-
Cal efforts such as are attempted
under the banner of Republican
ism. Shall this pass current
at time when, at the parting of
the ways in our nations develop
ment we are especially called to
patriotic thoughtfulness and
careful contemplation of party
designs aud to a vigilant watch
against dangers that beset us?
My faith in my countrymen will
not permit me to believe this, or
to doubt that they will insist upon
examining for themselves the &C
counts of party stewardship.
The party will be given credit
which, early or late, has endea-
vored to safeguard the sound.

Stephen Skeer, the alleged great-grand-
uncle of the petitioner. Skeer seeks
to obtain about $4,000 standing in Ste
phen Skeer's name in the Bank for
Savings and which the state seeks to
have escheated. ..,...
Stephen Skeer was born in Elkton,
Md, about 1898, and came to New York
in 1922. In 1883 he opened an account
of less than 81 900 in the Bank for
Savings. He never married and was
last heard of in Philadelphia about
forty years ago. ..@
The state claims that Stephen skeer
was born a slave, and that, therefore,
the fund escheats, as a slave was
barred from entering into any con.
tract The petitioner claims his. uncle
was born free and offers evidence to
prove it. AS further evidence on this
point is being sought in Maryland, the
surrogate withheld decision.
The bank, it was said, was willing
to transfer the money to the petitioner
provided an indemnity bond was given.
