T H E M O N T A N I A N , Published Every Fridayat Chotenu,T* on o,Mont. S. M„ CORSON, Editor. OFFICIAL PAPER OF TETON COUNTY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1897. I t is estimatoci by the officials of tie department of agriculture that this coun try sends abroad annually in the neigh borhood of four hundred million dollars for farm products. There is small doubt but that many of these articles could bo produced in the United States if tho American farmers had more definite in formation in regard to the actual cost of their production and methods of culti vation. Investigations looking to this information aro what tho agricultural department is engaged in at present, ns it is tho desire of Secretary Wilson that as much ot this four hundred million as ! possiblo shnll be kopt at home. Mr. WJ- j son is proving the most piactical and popular man who has over been at the P rotection R e c iir o c it y . S il v e r & G o l d , not O n e , but B oth THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION, President McKinley’s proclamation, setting apart Thursday, November 25, ns a day of nutional thanksgiving and prayer, is as follows: By the President of the Un ¿led Stales: In remembrance of God’s goodness to us during the past year, which has been so abundant, ‘‘Jot us otter unto Him our , , . , , . thanksgiving and pay our vows to llio ■ secretary, but much of Most High.” Under His watchful provi dence industry has prospered, tho condi tions of labor have improved, tho rewards of the husbandman have increased, and tbo comforts of our homes multiplied. His mighty hand has preserved peace and protected the nation. Respect for law and ojdor has been strengthened, love of free institutions cherished, and all sec- .. .. . tions of our beloved country brought into |lons an(l ex p e r im e n t s b e h r d f of tho closer bonds of fratotnal regard and gou- 'arvnors ‘ orous co-operation. For theso groat bou- liead of the department of agriculture. “Uncle Jerry” Rusk, tho first secretary of agriculture, appointed by President Har- eod , was a genuine farmer and an able tho work of the department was in an ombryotic and ex perimental state. Under Secretary Mor ton much of tho work remained at a standstill or retrograded—tho beet-sugar industry, for instance. But Secretary Wilson has takon hold ot the work with a will and has instituted more investiga- M b . B ryan claims that the taking out of gold from the Klondike is a powerful factor in bringing the present return of prosperity to the country. .A little while ago Mr. Bryau could not see any prosper ity. Now ho sees some signs of it, but attributes it to. the “ foreign scarcity” and to the gold brought in from the Klondike. Up to tho present time many more dollars have been expended in fitting out parties to go to the Klondiko than havo yet been taken from those mines. W h a t is th e D c s s o n ? efits it is our duty to praiso tho Lord in a spirit of humility and f ratitudo, and to oiler up to Him our most oarnest suppli cations. * That we may acknowledge our obliga tion ns a peoplo to Him who has so gra ciously grautod us the blessings of freo government and material prosperity, I , William McKinley, President of tho ■United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, Iho 25th day of No vember, for national thanksgiving and prayer, which all of the peoplo are invited to observe with appropriate religious ser vices in their respective places of worship. On this day of rejoicing and domestic reunion lot our prayers ascend to tho Giver of overy good and perfect gift for tho continuance of His iovo and favor to us, that our hearts may bo filled with charity and good will, and that wo may bo over worthy of His benofieent concern. In witness whereof, I havo hereunto sot my band and caused tbo soal of tho United States to be affixed. Douo at tho city of Washington this twonly-niuth day of October, in tho year of our Lord ouo thousand eight hundred and ninety-sevou, •and of tho indopomleuco of the United States the ono Hundred and twenty-sec ond. W illiam M c K inley . By the Presidont : J ohn S iieuman , Secretary of State. f of the United StateB than wero ever thought of heretofore, and they are bearing fruit, too. It is predicted by tho friends of tbo agricultural department that that branch of thé government will, m tho near future, bo ono of the most im portant and influential in tho cabinet. S ome peoplo’s methods of reasoning are very peculiar ; but what is more curious still is the way otbors fall into ondorsing tho results of such errors, especially wheu their interests are furthered. Now, every body knows that our esteemed contem porary and its backers are especially interested in having their “new board of county commissioners” inducted into office at the earliest possible moment. In fact, it is an imperative necessity. Life depends upon it. But up to date the •only straw tboy could grasp that gavo them the least hopo was an editorial in the Great Falls Tribnuo. That part of tho Tribune’s profound articlo upon tho question which seems to have given now hopo to our hungry contemporary is as follows : “Tho officers elected in new counties in 189-1 are filling unexpired torms, if tho constitutional term is four years, and tho first term ended tho first Monday in Jan uary, 1893. Tho second term surely be gan then, and if it did, and four years constitutes a term of office, tbo second term ended tho first Monday in January, 1897.” Now, isn’t that brilliant ? And isn’t it a great thing to bang one’s hopes upon? But a drowning man will catch at a straw • as does our contemporary when it clings to any Buck reasoning ns tho above. Let us see what there is in tbo Tribune’s logic. “The officers,” moaning, of course, the county commissioners, “ elected in the new •counties in 1891 are filling unexpired terms, the constitutional torm is four .years, and the first term ended the first Monday in January, 1893.” Well, the •constitutional term is four years, and Teton elected commissioners in 1894, but “ the first term” did not end the first Mon- •day m January, 1893,\ simply because there was no Teton county at that time. The new counties were not organized -until March, 1893, and bo none of Teton’s -officials’ terms expired at the date men tioned. To claim the terms ot the pres ent board of county commissioners began the year before they were elected or the connty was formed, is adsurd; yet it is upon such Blender threads that oar con temporary hangs its hopes. S tate ’ s A ttorney D kknan has filed his billB for the expenses in the Luetgert murder case recently tried in Chicago. The total expense of the trial, including the pay of jurors and their board, amounts to $8,808, our contemporary to the con trary notwithstanding. I t is nnder understood that Great Bri tain will send delegates to an interna tional conference to extend the use of silver as a money metal, notwithstanding the fact that she has refused to open In- •dia’s mints to free comnge. I n t i i e past the young man’s thoughts have turned to love. Next spring, how ever, they will turn toward the Klondike— and be frozen before a year, all the same. S m a l l comfort vo the democracy, that «lection last Tuesday a week. They lost a senator in Maryland— and won a mayor in New York city. S enator M antle visited Great Falls last week and was interviewed by a re porter of tbo Leader. Asked as to what lio thought of tho political situtiou iu tho state, he said: “ Woll, that is something on which I am somewhat at sea at tho prcscut time. I beliove it to be of tho utmost importance that tho organization ot tho silver repub licans bo kept up. I shall bo very sorry to see a split in tbo republican party of Montana on this quostiou, but should that prove inevitable, I hopo that both sides will part at tho forks of tho road with kindly feelings, ono for tho other, so that should it becomo possiblo at any time iu the future for them to reunite— by a 6ottlcmout o f tbo silver question— they will bo able to do so tho more readily.” Tbo kindly spirit of the above is credit- ablo to Mr. Mantlo. It may bo possible for all republicans to unite on state offi cers, and we believe a great majority of McKinley republican have a high regard for Mantle, but if it comes to iudorsing tho Chicago platform, Charley Hartman and W. J. Bryan, tho cup will Lave to pass. No such nauseating dose would go down.—Fergus County Argus. O n tiie morning of tho election day the New York World said of Ynn Wyck : “ To elect such a contemptiblo creature would bo an act o f insanity that would proclaim to tbo world our unfitness for self-govern ment.” Well, wo guess “ our unfitness,” in so far as tho “ World” is concerned, is about correct. Ynu Wyck was elected, and yet the World goes on much tho same as be fore, only wiser, if possiblo. [ltiver Pres. | Last year McKinley carried what is now Greater New York by 57,000 major ity. Yesterday Van Wyck carried it by 85,000. That is a change of 142,000 votes, There is a lesson iu those figures.—Butte Inter Mountain. What does our Butte contemporary moan by the remark that there is a lesson in tho figures of the Greater New York municipal election ? It quotes certain returns and uffects to believe that they indicate a stinging rebuke to the national administration. What do these figures moan, anyway ? Tho Van Wyck vote, according to the dispatches, was 235,800, while tho com bined vote of Low and Tracy, the leaders of the divided republican forces, was about 251,600. What is tho lesson of that comparison ? If national issues aro involved in tbo Greater New York campaign, what is the lesson taught by tbo result ? Tracy ran on a platform endorsing the republican position ot last year, and polled a total vote of 101,833; the only candidate stand ing by the Bryan platform of 189G was Henry George, who polled only 20,286 votes. What is to be learned from that comparison ? Again, according to an analysis of the vote iu Greater Now York, made by an eastern political statistician, Van Wyck polled 44.25 per cent of the vote cast, whilo Mr. Bryan received 45.21 per cent of tho voto in tho samo election districts last year. Tho political significance ot the result in Greater Now York is a con undrum with which tho Butte Inter Mountain is welcome to struggle. J a s . H I R S H B E R G & C o D E A L E R S IN N o In t e r f e r e n c e A l l o w e d . C alamity has been the cry of the dem ocratic orators iu tbo recent campaigns, from Bryan down. In ono of bis Ohio speeches, Mr. Bryan dwelt exultantly upon tbo statement that whoat bad fallen ten cents below the dollar mark. It hap pened to be a fact, however, that at the time of bis speech wheat had again ad vanced to the dollar mark, but Mr. Bryan failed to notice this unimportant fact. T his strange phenomenon is credited to the Atlanta Constitution of a recent date. The Btory is that “ram has been falling heavily and incessantly for fonr days from a clear sky on a small spot be tween two trees in the Rose Hill cemetery at Macon.” It is is said that union sol diers were formerly baried at that preoise spot. G eorge F eed W illiams was the late democratic free-silver candidate for gov ernor of Massachusetts and received only about one-third of the vote cast. Since his defeat he has declared that in his opinion the radical democratic doctrine of “change and upheaval” has been “some what strengthened” by the recent elec tions. E . B haoh , member of th e board of state capitol commissioners, has returned from Chicago, where he went to float $350,000 of state capitol bonds, says he did not have much success. Section 2, Art. V I I I . of tho constitution, will have to be com plied with, we think, before anyone will purchase our state bonds. T eton C ount ' s Teachers’ Institute opens next Monday morning. Prof. J. C. Templeton, of the Wesleyan Univerity, near Helena, will act as speoial instructor. Stato S::pt. Carleton will not be here, the funds to meet his expenses having been nsed up in traveling from one coun ty to another long ere this. No attempt upon the part of the “new board of county commissioners” to assume the duties of their office was made last Monday, November 8, as predioted by our demopopic contemporary. There was no vacancy at that time for them to fill. The New York supremo court has reu- dored a decision of the highest interest to labor unions everywhere. The case was known as that of Benjamin P. Davis, ye. The United Portable Hoisting Engineers. Davis was a non-union engineer. He brought suit because the union secured bis discharge from several places where he had obtained employment, and, accord ing to his statement, kopt him out of em ployment from June, 1895, to August, 1896. Through its walking delegate, the union, it is alleged, threatened to order strikes on buildings where Davis was em ployed unless the contractors discharged Davis. The court enjoins the union and its walking delegate from further inter ference with Dayis, and further awards Davis $500 damages, which the union must pay.
