A postmaster is required to give official notice (returning a paper uoee not satisfy the law) when a snbscnber does not take hi* paper from the office, and to state the reason* for i ts being taken, and a neglect to do so makes the pos - master responsible to the publisher for the payment. . A. Any person who takes a paper from the post- office, whether directed in his name or in that of Another, or whether lit* has subscribed ov not, xs responsible for the pay. I f a person orders his paper discontinued* he must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount Whether it be taken from the office or not.. There csn be no legal discontinuance until the payment is made. I f the subscnber orders his paper to be stop ped at a certain time, and the publisher con tinues to send it, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if be takes it out of the office. The law proceeds upon the around that a man must pay for what he uses. . . . . The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the postofhce is prims facie evidence of intentional fraud. T he establishment of a Keeley Institute at Great Falls has entire ly removed the last vistage of an excuse for drunkenness, so preval ent in some sections of this state. T h e following was published iii the Farmers Voice and is a speci men of arguments advanced by a certain “ jump at conclusions” sort of people who are always demand ing something which somebody else possesses and which they do not and 'never will. The danger in the idea conveyed here is that the next blow might kill the goose that laid the golden egg: “ Rockafeller’s gift of a million dollars to the Chicago university as a thank offering to Almighty God for Mr. Rockafeller’s restora tion to health, causes us to feel as the old Scotch deacon did ait the meeting called to raise money to repair the church. The building had become in a very dilapidated condition and something had to be done. A meeting was called and subscriptions asked for. An ex ceedingly close-fisted old fellow gave ten pounds and just as he an nounced his subscription a piece of plastering fell and struck him upon the head, whereupon he called out: “ Make that twenty pounds.” Then the good old deacon, utterly astonished at the exhibition of liberality, shouted: “ Oh Lord, hit him again.” T he democratic party would tax the people by putting a tariff on those things which are not pro duced in this countrjT, and would admit free those things which we do produce. To morrow the “ Great Unwasli ed” will meet by order of Timothy and proceed to elect delegates to all the democratic conventions which are to be held in this coun ty this year. W hat about Memorial Day; are our people going to observe it? They should, as several old soldi rs lie buried in the grave yard. Turn out Monday in mem ory of the dead defenders of the nation! J ohnnie H ealey ’ s scheme of in troducing domesticated reindeer into Alaska seems to have found considerable favor at Washington, as on Monday the senate passed the house bill appropriating $15, 000 for that purpose. Johnnie has struck it rich, sure. T he democratic idea of a tariff is a tax, sure enough. From it they agree that all tariffs are a tax which the consumer pays. Rut that is not so. To illustrate: if we put a tariff' on tea and coffee, two articles which are not pro duced in the United Slates, the consumer must pay the tax. But if we admit those two articles free, they cost that much less; hence such a tariff—a tariff* for revenue only—is a tax on the people. But when we put a tariff on such ar ticles as we do or can produce in abundance for our own use and to spare, the foreigner must need pay the tariff or stay out of the market. “T he McKinley tariff admits many more articles free of duty than did the old tariff or more than was named in the Mills’ bill. The imports of free articles have great ly increased nnder the MeKinley tariff’.”—Great Falls Tribune. True! And nearly every one of those articles is something which the United States does not pro duce; some we are about to, and others we do not care to. On the other hand the McKinley bill puts a duty on those articles which we can produce and the importation of them is consequently falling off while home production and manufacture is increasing. Here is where the republicans differ from the democrats on the tariff. The former claims that if a duty is placed on those things which we do not produce the price is cor respondingly increased to the con sumer, while to admit them free reduces it that much: in otbei words that such a tariff is a tax. On such things as we do produce a tariff is put on in order to protect our home producers from the pro. duct of a much cheaper labor than our own and from any attempt on the part of foreign merchants to make the production of such ar ticles unprofitable to our own peo ple. The democratic party, how ever, insists taxing our own peo ple by putting a duty on those things which we do not produce and admitting free those which we do produce, thus compell ing the people to pay more for what they must goout of the coun try to get, and at the same time compelling them to compete with with the foreign producer in the matter of what we do produce: in other words the democratic parly demand that we pay more for what we buy of foreign countries and take less for what we have to sell. MONTANA’S GREAT LOSS. Col. Broadwater has Passed to The Great Beyond. At about 5 o’clock. Tuesday morning Charles Arthur Broad water died at his hotel in Helena, of congestion of the lungs. His last appearance in public was at the opening of hi9 big hotel Saturday evening. In the even ing a chillng north wind was blow ing from the valley, and many who were present felt the effects. Col Broadwater passed the greater part of the evening on the veran da chatting with ex-Gov. Hauser and other friends. He went to bed with a chill, which developed into a congestion of the lungs. The excitement incident to the reopen ing of the hotel had a bad effect, and when Dr. Tracy called the next day he found Col. Broad water a very sick man and in a critical condition. His heart flut tered with every movement, and then at times seemed to almost stop beating. The doctor found that he was likely to die at any time without the slightest warn ing. He stimulated the heart by hyperdermic injections of strych nine, bnt the patient grew no bet- tei. The resources were not be: hind. The raachinerg o f the body was worn to exhaustion. The news that Broadwater was dead spread rapidly through the city and entire country, and. caus ed a universal surprise and sorrow. Messages of condolence soon be gan to arrive from every section o f the state and later from more dis tant points east and west. Among them were the following, which show the good standing of the man: Benjamin Harrison, Washington, D.C: I have heard with great sorrow o! the sudden death of Col. Broadwater and beg to offer to you and the children my most heartfelt sympathy. J. J. Hill, St. Paul: The sad news of Col. Broadwater’s death is a deep sor row to us all. Is there anything I can do? Marcus Daly, Anaconda: My deepest sympathy is with you in your affliction. I have lost a bosom friend and this state one of its noblest characters. W. A. Clark, Butte: Please convey to Mrs. Broadwater my great regret for the I osb of so good a man as ray dear friend, Col. Broadwater, and my heartfelt sym pathy for her in her grief. W. F. Sanders, Washington: My wife joins me in the deep sympathy for you and your family in your great affliction, Lester S. Wilsen, Bozeman: Mrs. Wil son joins in an offering of sympathy that words cannot express. Russell B. Hanison, New York: Have just learned the sad news. No member of your family feels greater grief or sor row than I do. I extend to you my heartfelt sympathy. Paris Gibson, Creat Falls: This com munity is shocked at the announcement of Col. Broadwater's death. The loss of no other man could be so deeply felt in Montana. Chas. S. Warren and Geo. W. Irvin, Lee Mantle, Butte: We beg to offer our most sincere condolences in this your hour o f greatest possible affliction. Dudly DuBose, Fort Benton: The news of the death of Col. Broadwater I has cast a gloom over this community. Please tender to Mrs. Broadwater my sincere symptby in bersad bereavement. ChM* S. Wftrtea and George W. Irvin II, Butte: Butte mournswitbalL Mon tana over the untimely death of one of her noblest sons. He. was always with the first in everythingto make man bet ter and happier. His loss will be consid ered as personal to . evwry citizen of Silver Bow county. We intend to be present a t the funeral. The »funeral services will he held at Helena Sunday next at 2 p. m., under the auspices of the Masons. A special train will leave Great Falls Sunday morning.carrying free, those who, desire to attend the. funeral. A n d the $ 1 5 0 ,000 Debt, Too? [Valley County News.] The country surrounding Havre is unsurpassed by any in northern Montana, and the town site is most advantageously located on, .the Milk river and Bull Hook creek. The stock, agricultural and rail road interests are what >yill rapid ly develop Havre into a flourish- city. At present there appears to be slight antagonism between Chi nook and Havre which is uncalled for and useless at the present time. The proposed county o f Teton will be cut off from Choteau at the next session of the-, .legislature, and within a few years more there will be another county cut off from the eastern part, forming a new county, which will include Chi nook and Havre. Then will be the time for a fight for.t lie county seat. It would be too cruel if the Havre people do as they are now suggesting, and pull away the last prop which is supporting poor old Fort Benton, by removing the county seat to Havre. Ti»e Election. , The democrats are blowing, bat defeat will be their fate, ‘ In spite o f all the boasting they can d o ; If Benjamin beat Grover back in 188S He'll do It just aa well in '92. The democrats‘‘ain’t in It,\ and they haven’t, been a minute Since they fooled so many voters nearly eighteen months ago, - And this sesaion’B legislation in -the Confrwa of th e Nation Has damned them worse than ever and in sures their overthrow. • . —New York Pres». ----------------- - < >» - ----------------- President Harrison to the senate: “ It may not be inappropriate, how ever, to say here, believing that the full use of silver as coin metal’ upon an agreed ratio, by the ere at com mercial nations of the world would promote the pr osperity of all their people, Z have not and will not let any favorable opportunity pass for the promotion o f that most desirable result; or i f freeintemational silver eoinaee is not presently’ attainable, then to secure the largest practicable use of that metal.” N O T IC E T O C O N T R A C T O R S AND BUILD E R S .
