TARIFF REVISION.

The time has come when we should
prepare for a revision of the tariff.
This should be and indeed must be. pre-
coded by careful Investigation II is
peculiarly the province of the Congress
and not of the president, and indeed
peculiarly the province OF the house OF
Representatives to originate a tariff
bill and TO determine upon its terms;
ana this | fully realize. Yet It seems
to me that before the close Of this
session provision should be made
for collecting full material which
will enable the Congress 10
elected next fall, To act Immediately
after 1t comes into existence. This
would neVessitate some action before
the Congress al its present session, per-
haps in the shape of directing the prop
er committee TO gather the necessary
information both through the commit
tee itself and through government
agents who should report 10 the COM
mttee and should law before 1t the

prompt and intelligent fairness. These

be the veriest rascals, and though
they use their judicial authority in
IfamOusly. That is the idea. 1t was
SO even with Tweed's judges. The
cub lawyers of that day were admon-
ished to respect Judge Barnard and
Judge Cardoza, although the whole
pack of responsibilities got after
them with most vigorous epithets
when they had become ex-Judge Bar
nard and eX-Judge Cardoza; and got
after them, too, for the very things
which they were VIGOROUSLY doing be-
fore eek was prefxed to their titles,
and while they were to be respected
out of regard for their judicial func-
TONS It's all onsense-paganisti
nonsense, dangerous nonsense. A
bench and a gown are just as good as
the man who occupies the one and
wears the other, and not one whit
better just as worthy of respect, and
not any more so. We must respect
judicial commands until regularly re-
versed, of course, for this is in the in
terest of good order. But the right
to 'go out under the horseshed and
swear at the judge" is inaIienable and
wholesome To take it away is to
give a sacrosanctity to officials, in
the guise of respect for their offices,
which cannot but intoxicate them
with q sense Of immunity from criti-
cism and tend to turn them in
to irresponsible autocrats. Indeed,
just such a tendency has set in.

w. G. Conrad, formerly of Virginia,
now of Helena, Mont, is being sup
ported for the democratic vice-presi-
denCy.
Mr.. Conrad comes of the purest
American stock, for he is the scion of
colonial families of Virginia. On Au-
gust 3, 1S4S, he was born in Warren
county, We. His father, Colonel
James w. Conrad, married Miss
Maria Ashby, who was a member of
the historic Ashby family, whose
destinies intertwine with the history
period; indeed, from her ancestor,
John Ashby, loyal subject of Charles
|, and one of the first Englishmen to
land on Virginian soil. John Ashby,
great-grandfather of the subject of
this sketch. was with Washington, I'M
der Braddock, at Fort Duquesne, and
his great grandfather Benjamin Ash
by, was one of Washington conf
Dental officers in the revolutionary
struggle
Colonel James w. and Maria S.
Conrad owned a large Virginia plan
tation, and, besides being a colonel in
the state militia, the father was long
a prominent judge. They removed to
Montana in 1874, and there the old
colonei's life came to a peaceful end
at Great Falls in 1894 at the age of
1872 years.
w. G.. Conrad was reared on the
plantation, attending the district
school and supplementing this educa-
ton by a course at Washington acad-
envy. He was a good scholar, and his
favorite studies were mathematics
and geography. He became inter
ested in the far west, then an I'M
broken, almost wild country, but with
boundIess possibilities for youth.
Virginia in the late sixties was in the
throes of reconstruction, and so the

Occupation, Not Pity, Wanted

Despairing hours the blind must
know, but how seldom are these num-
bered for the rest of the world to see!
Wherever met, the blind seem to be
smiling their way through life, full of
optimism and the fighting spirit. At
a recent meeting Miss Winfred Holt,
secretary of the New York Association
for the Blind, told the story of vet
eran of the Prussian war who, after
losing sight, friends, wife and means,
had, through the efforts of the asso-
citation, come to the self-respecting joy
of making his own living again.
eff one has the courage" he said,
he can fight with his eyes shut"
This was but one of the many STIR
ring stories of men and women who
had shown the ability and desire to
help themselves if half a chance were
given them. The chance they have
the New York Sun says, is expressed
by Miss Hollis statement that ''the
state does not appropriate one dollar
to help three-fourths Of the entire
blind, who are those who lose their
sight after school age" Even the
census of the blind, Miss Holt showed
had been finished only because the as
ISOLATION had been able to give its
head office free of expense and lend
the commission $4,000.
In New York city alone there are
1900 blind persons. Some of the
things that they have been taught to
do are typewriter from photograph,
stenography, telephone switchboard
work, sewing by machine and by hand,
knitting, chrocheting, lacemaking and
the like The market is made through
merit not pity. In one case a large
contract for making mattresses was
won in competition where the bids
were sealed and the work judged by
samples.
Occupation, not pity, is what we
want" say the blind members of the
association.

Lilies as Trimming.

A toque of plated teulle is trimmed
with large pond lilies, which twine
around the brim, the stems entwined
in graceful lines and the leaves half
hidden in folds Of tulle. 1t is a grace
full and original idea, but as the lilies
must, of necessity, be white, the hat
itself must be of some color that IS
not too great contrast in color.
This last, by the way, is a rather i'm
pOrtant matter and one that needs
consideration. Red, for instance, does
not harmonic in any way with white,
but used with ecru or natural straw
it is good Then, in using pond lilies,
the green of the leaves must not be-
ignored, and it must not be placed
against a shade that is too strong or
too weak.

When ii is time for them to breed,
which is in April or May, they should
be watched carefully, SO that their
nests may lbe found and the eggs
saved Two of three will often lay
in one nest, making more eggs than
one hen can cover Besides. the gui-
nea hen is a poor SETTER, Will not re-
main on the nest regularly, and IS apt
to leave when she gets two or three
bic a nest should not be approached
When the hen is laying, as she will be
apt to torsake her nest and make a
new one. They are said TO be very
sensitive about having their eggs
handled and some recommend that
the eggs be taken from the nest with
stick or spoon. Three or four eggs
should be left in the nest, so that the
bird viii not discover that there has
been anyone about.
The newly Matched chicks are great
runners from the time they leave the
shell, and If reared with a fowl hen
they should be confined in a run for
10 days or two weeks, as they do not
know the call of their foster moGner,
and are very apt to stray away ana
get lost.After they get a little size and
come to know their mother they may
be allowed freedom, except when the
grass is wet. After once started in
this way they are seldom troubled
with disease, and it is rare that one
will die. They have a habit of stick
ing to the mother hen for long tl,o-.
| even when they are almost as large as
the hen herself they will keep by her.
and it is sometimes amusing to see
an old fowl hen in her efforts to ger
rid of them. In this way, when raised
with the domestic hen, their wild.
rowing habits are largely overcome:
at least until they become two
three years old.
They should be fed Immediately ar-
ter Matching, and what is good for
| young chickens is good for them; but
| they should have some animal food
and should be fed every two or three
hours. Chopped egg, oatmeal, onions
and bread and milk are all good. At
ter they begin to range they will be
little trouble as to feed, as Jney are
great grass and insect feeders.
The guinea is a strong and pugna-
cious bird, and in the domestic state
is apt to be quarrelsome in the
chicken yard and to tyrannize over
the fowl hens. Their presence is,
| however, of some benefit, in that on
the approach of any danger they will
| give loud and shrill cries of warning
! For egg production the guinea hen is
not a success, as their eggs are usually
| hard to find, and a hen does not lay
more than 40 to 60 in a season. But
! for home supply of inexpensive and
superior meat, they are certainly very
| desirable, and, as has been before
said, the price on the market is adj
vancing, and no doubt in time they
will be one of the most profitable lines
of poultry raising. The common gul-
nea is of slate color dotted with
round white spots, but the white or
pearl guinea is an improved variety,
| being larger, and is now the variety
most raised by specialisth and fanct-
ers.

THE GUINEA FOWL.

The guinea fowl is a native Of At
r.ca ard Madagascar. It is presumed
that it has not been in domesticatiOn
as long as the common fowl, as it is
much wider in its habits; but it was
bred by the Romans and highly priced
by epicures in those days. It's flesh
is dark, fine grained and has a gamy
flavor which gives it favor to many.
Those who are accustomed to eating
both chicken and guinea will, In most
every instance, give preference to the
latter, says the New York Tribune
Farmer. It commands high price III
England, and is rapidly growing in de-
mand here as it becomes better known.
Farmers viii do well to give more at
tention to raising guineas, as win
plenty or range the cost Of growing is
almost nothing.
Being a native OF a warm country,
the guinea fowl is more tender than
other domestic fowls. In the island
of Jamaica it has become naturlized,
doing much damage to crops, and is
hunted like other game. In our eli
mate it needs protection in winter,
and should not be allowed to roost in
trees It is of a wild disposition, and
if given no restraint during the breed
ing season it will take to the fields
and woods and not return at night.
therefore, it is best to hatch and rear
the young by fowl hen Guineas,
however, that have run with fowl
hen will not travel far the first breed
ing season, and may be depended upon
for rearing their young, but when they
grow older they are apt TO become
wilder and to roam further away

v|RG|N|AN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
ON TICKET WITH BRYAN

in 1868, set out for Montana They
We're without means.
Fort Benton. Mont, was reached
after three months journey of
1000 miles. Then began Mr.. Conrad's
successful business career in the
west, II began in a humble fashion
as clerk for l. c. Baker & Co., mer-
chants of the little town. But the
boy was industrious, and in four years
had become partner, and at the
end of four more years was its sole
proprietor. The firm had grown to
have an immense business, probably
the largest mercantile enterprise in
the entire northwest. With his broth
er Mr. Conrad conducted this bust
ness until 1888, when he sold out to
the Hudson Bay company
In the meantime Mr.. Conrad had
become interested in cattle and sheep
raising, an industry that he has pur-
sued since. He owns many stock
farms and ranches, and is one of the
most successful cattle kings of the
west. Mr.. Conrad is senior partner
of the Bank of Conrad Brothers, pres
ident of the Conrad National bank of
Kalispell, president of the First
State bank of Livingston, president
of the Conrad-Stanford company of
| Helena, president of the Queen Min
ing and Milling company of Neihart,
and treasurer of both the Conrad-Cir-
Icle Cattle company and the Conrad
Price Cattle company, which own
large ranches in Canada and north
ern Montana.
But his most laudable service has
been his interest in irrigation. He
owns the Pondera Canal company
and owns also the Pondera canal res
ervoir, which has a capacity to irri-
gate the $4,000 acres of land Mr.. Con-
rad Jointly owns in the Pondera val
ley and 10000 acres more of govern
ment land contiguous to this princeIy
estate. Through his generous fore
| sight this whole valley has been made
fertile.
In 1875 Mr.. Conrad was united in
llIdI tdS6 WIFI MISS fduul6 Il. Bowen
Of Virginia. Four of their children
are liying-Maria Josephine, Minnie
Atkinson, George fairfield and Arthur
Franklin. The girls are society bellies
and we'll known and liked in Wash
ington and Virginia, as we'll as in
Montana society. They are accom-
| plished and beautiful, and Miss Min
ma Conrad served as sponsor for the
battleship. Montana several years ago.
The Conrads have three beautiful
hOmes-one in the picturesque Shen-
andOah valley of Virginia, charming
home at Great Falls, Mont, and the
finest residence in the state at Hell
ena, where his numerous friends are
royalty entertained
| Mr.. Conrad holds high office in the
Masonic order In church, in social
and in business circles alike he is re-
garded as a leader All the southern
states, and especially Virginia, are
said to be focking to Mr.. Conrad
support.

JUST JUNE.

There's a moon not too obtrusiye,
Sort of misty and delusive,
Frequently and opportunely hiding,
way beneath the clouds;
And a maiden, sweet and pretty,
Not too solemn or too witty,
Down a country lane a-walking, free
from madding, gadding crowds,
With youth. in love aplenty,
Probably some five-and-twenty;
And a heart that's lifting: Sweet,
oh, | love you!" like a tune.
Well, the rest is very simple:
Just sigh or two, a dimple,
And a kiss.-Ah, these things hap
pen when the month is June!
