When they asked him whether he
would refuse the senatorship in the
event of his election as governor.
the emissaries of the dreibund de-
livered an unfair blow at Governor
Toole. How was he expected to an
swer at this time, when nc n knows
the intensity of desire that may &C
tuate some of those within his own
party when the day comes which is
to decide who is to be the chosen
one. Furthermore, his excellency IS
not so sure of his reelection as he
probably would like to be.

About as evasive and equivocal 6
reply as was ever made to questions
plainly asked is the letter Of Governor
Toole to the representatives OF Butte's
political dreibund. No wonder it took
his excellency so long to illuminate
his answer. Only n OF the several
interrogatories is given what may be
called a fair answer: The governor
is not opposed to fusion, provided he
can see his way clear TO being a bene-
fciary of it, otherwise he regards it
as venal and beneath the notice OF
any honest mar or set of men.

Between his letters to President
Roosevelt, Pulitzer still finds time to
drop an occasional line where he
thinks it will do the most good, inn
ploring a little less reticence and
more aggressiveness on the part OF
Parker. He gives sharp reminder OF
the fact that he is no longer Judge"
Parker, but candidate" Parker, and
that from the latter his party has
cause of expecting inspiration, ener-
gy, promptness and aggressive i'm
pulse" and adds that sit is. the part
of a leader to lead in the combat OF
IDEAS" If the sage OF Esopus does
not take that gentle hint he may have
to submit to a series of open letters
from the same distinguished gentle
man who attempted to place Roose'
welt on the gridiron.

A section OF Montana's land is
wanted by the government as a site
for a diversion dam to be constructed
in connection with the Yellowstone ir-
rigation project, now in hand east OF
Glendive. This has been commune
Gated to the governor in a letter from
E. E. Weymouth, engineer in charge OF
the work.
Mr.. Weymouth writes that it has
been found that the dam necessary 20
divert the waters of the Yellowstone
for the Fort Buford project will be
located on section Sc, township u
north, range Sc east. This happens
to be a school section and the land
has been selected as affording the
most suitable location for the head
of the proposed canal, which is to
take 700 cubic feet of water from the
river per second and which is intend
ed for the irrigation of about 10000
acres of land in the eastern portion
of the Yellowstone valley.
Request is made in the letter that
the land be withdrawn from sale by
the state and if possible, that it be
donated to the general government for
the benefit of the farmers settling on
the land to be reclaimed. Should
the state laws forbid donation of the
section, Mr.. Weymouth says it may
be sold to the United States the same
as other land is sold by the state to
private parties. In this connection
the engineer adds in his letter: Il
have thus briefly outlined the situation
in order that you may appreciate the
Importance of assisting this work by
preventing the sale of this tract OF
land to private parties, who might be
disposed to take advantage of the
situation to demand an %exorbitant
price for it,"

Of all the newspapers in the state
that have seer fit to comment on the
manner in which Billings took care OF
the republican convention it remained
for the Muscular alone to speak
unkindly. That usually amiable publi-
cation must have been suffering from
a case Of ~disordered liver when it gave
it as its opinion that there are only
two places in the state in which big
conventions can be held-Butte and
Helena. These two and no more" It
is very evident that the author OF the
paragraph was not at Billings and
that he never attended a big con
vention at either of the places he
names.

A HELP.

Probably as the campaign progress
es the managers of Judge Parker will
learn the danger that exists to their
party in bringing southern orators
north to make speeches. Below the
Mason and Dixon line such addresses
as they deliver rec received in a
spirit different than finds existence
on this side. No matter what their.
other sins and predictions may be,
the democrats Of the north are OPP
posed to the disfranchisement of the
negro, particularly as the colored
brother in some places is beginning
to manifest an inclination to vote
with them.
In the south where nc votes are
needed it is well enough for men Of
the Clark Howell stamp and the others
who have been imported because OF
their supposed skill and power as
s%pellbinders to raise the ace ques-
ton and declare that the negro must
be eliminated as a factor in politics
and deprived OF his rights of citizen
ship, but in the north, especially in
the eastern states, earnest protest is
ransed against the doctrine the fire
eaters are advocating. The danger
is foreseen by many OF the leading
newspapers of the east who are sup
porting the democratic nominee ana
they are ~beseeching withdrawal OF the
speakers from the south.

ed to that of the republican party the
democrats are requested to bring it
to the attention of the people. The
cry of ''coal oil" will have to cease,
for there is no ground for it. On the
other hand, what must be said OF the
opposition ticket which is defaced
by Clark-Amalgamated control.

Judging from the manner in which
they continue to assail that gentleman,
the Clark newspapers have NOT yet
forgiven William Lindsay for having
had the manhood and honesty to resist
the temptation placed in his way by
their owner four years ago.

ces to others, except where such de-
scriptions is necessary in order to
make clear the social conditions Of the
old worlds lowly ones.
A couple of years ago Mr.. Grenell
collected a number of his Industrial
articles, and published them in book
form, under the title: Economic
Tang1es; Industrial Problems Ex-
planned Through Lessons Drawn from
Passing Events" This book was well
received by the book critics, and i'm
mediately went into a second edition,
which is also exhausted.
One Of the reasons why Mr.. Grenell
has been so successful in handling
economic problems lies in the fact of
his close personal relationship with
labor bodies. He has been a delegate
to the American Federation of Labor;
twice a delegate to the International
Typographical Union; and often to the
state and local central labor bodies. In
the '80s he was nominated by work.
ingman's convention for the Michigan
legislature, endorsed by one Of the old
parties, and elected. In this instance,
at least, workingmen had no reason to
regret their choice.
Mr. Grenells European letters are
copyrighted, and will not appear in any
other publication in this locality. They
will probably begin the latter part of
May.

Labor Union Men
Opposed to- Tammany

Once more Tammany hall, which is
again in control of the New York city
government is being denounced up hill
and down dale by the unionists. The
asphalt workers, engineers, plasterers,
and rammer men are on strike, against
the asphalt combine, and the unionists
charge that the Tammany politicians
are aiding the combine in every way
possible to break the strike. The po-
lice have been instructed to drive away
the union pickets, some have been
dubbed and others thrown in Jail and
fined, and scabs are greeted with open
arms by the authorities and the trust.
OF course, the unionists are adopting
red-hot resolutions, but the Tammany-
ties simply smile. They know that
resolutions don't count for much. It's
only votes that count with those gen.
tlemen, and so long as the unionists
remain loyal to Tammany there is no
objection to their having resolutions" :"
as they are pleasantly referred to.

President Meyer and Secretary Hey
wood, Of the Western Miners Fedora
ton, were clapped into jail as a starter.
Meyer obtained writ of habeas cor
pus from District Judge Theron Stew
ems, directed against General Sherman
M. Bell and Captain Welles, in charge
of the military at Telluride. General
Bell refused to surrender Meyer to- the
court officers. Judge Stevens thereup-
on declared him in contempt.of court
and said he would call for the assist
ance of federal troops to preserve the
sacred right of habeas corpus. Gen
eral Bell replied that if an attempt. was
made to arrest him, he would have to
be taken over the dead bodies Of every
soldier under his command, and threat
ened to exterminate any court officer
sent after him.
Meanwhile Meyers counsel carried
the matter before the Su preme Court,
sitting in this city. A writ was issued
against General Bell on April Is; 'dicert-
ing him to produce Meyer before the
Supreme Court on April 81.
Meyer Brought to Denver.

directed General Bell to disregard the
order' Of court, but later he changed
his mind, and General Bell, with a de-
tachment Of $50 cavalrymen, brought
Meyer into Denver Thursday and pro-
duced him in court.
General Bell told the, court Meyer
had been active in fomenting disorder
among the miners and was responsible
for keeping alive the insurrection and
rebellion in San Miguel county. He
then added that he had been ordered by
Governor Peabody not to release Meyer
upon writ Of habeas corpus or other
wise until so commanded by the gov
ernor
The court heard arguments on Moy-
er's motion to be admitted to bail pend
ing decision on the question of the
courts jurisdiction and took the matter
under advisement. Meyer remains in
the custody Of the military pending

dark-lantern crowd is destined to be-

arising, at least in the Transmississipp'
states. ItsSscope is national. It stands
for the open shop principle and is: Wig

The recently organized Beaver coun-
ty, Pa, Builders exchange league be-
gan. its first contest yesterday with
organized labor. The carpenters made
a demand for an increase of twenty
five cents a day. They were getting
50. The association considers the de-
mands Of the workmen unjust, and has
decided to fight. About 500 carpenters
are on strike, throwing out Of employ
ment about LOO unskilled workers.
Other crafts will be affected, and by
the end Of the week fully 1900 men

So great was the crowd of applicants
for positions in a new department
store on Sixth avenue today that it
became necessary to call out the po-
lice to maintain order. 1t was esti-
mated that from 1900 to 5000 persons
were in waiting at o'clock, the hour
named for receiving the applications:
The Sixth avenue block, extending
from Thirteenth to Fourteenth streets,
and for several hundred" feet east the
two latter thoroughfares were jammed
with men, women, boys and girls,
clamoring for change to get in the

to gain entrance taxes all the resources

New Haven. Con-, April 2S.- The
most sweeping blacklist ever declared
against the New York & Hartford rail-
road was promulgated yesterday by
President Mcneil Of the National Boil
ermakers' Union of America. 1t orders
members of the union to decline to
work on any boilers Of the road in any
part of the country, because it has set
nonunion men to work in it's main
shops here and in it's branches at
Norwood and Readville.
Labor union men here say that the
blacklist will prevent the main rail-
road system from having any repairs
done in any boiler shop in America and
that the road canot long fight such a
boycott.
The railroad yesterday set to work
the two hundred strike breakers
brought here by steamboat Saturday
to fill the places Of the boilermakers,
who struck ut that time.
The strikers did not appear near the
car shops, making no attempt at in
timidation or picketing, but many of
