Montana, on June 20. 1100. for tlie purpose of selecting six delegates mid six alternates to the democrat- ic national convention to 1* held In Kansas City, Mo„on July 4,1000.

McGinty and McCrackin, and for Messrs. McCrackin and Mc- Ginty, and wo are told that, only very unappreciative people can help being satisfied with it. This government by and for the gentlemen mentioned embraces the town, schools, chnrches and is even reaching out for the coun ty. Onr prediction is, however, that these petty despots will eventually overreach themselves sad great will be the fall thereof. From the Dutte Miner. Some weeks ago the democratic central committee of Carbon coivnty met to make arrangements for the selection of delegates to the state con- vention which meets in Butte next month. The county committee was controlled by the political followers of Marcus Daly. It decided to do away with primaries and county con- ventions and name the delegates to the state convention without any such legal formalities. Tlie reason of this was obvious. The county committee, being a Daly organization, could naino delegates who might lie depended upon to do whatever (lie Daly people wanted. In a contest before the tie-,pie iu the primaries and later in the convention there was no tolling how the Daly people might fare. They were averse to taking any chances. So the com- mittee named the delegates to the state convention. In Ravalli county there is quite an under-curreut of feeling against the Daly system of regulating the affairs of the people. So strong is this feel ing that the democratic county com- mittee is about evenly divided be- tweeivJIaly and anti Daly. The com- mittee meTlast week to arrange for the selection of delegates to the state convention. One of the anti-Daly members, accordirg to the report pub- lished in the Anaconda Standard, “got up and favored doing away with the spring primaries and convention, stating that the farmers were all-busy, there was some sickness in Hamilton, and it would tie better all around to let the committee select the 15 dele- gates to the first state convention and thus do away with the convention.” This proposition, according to the same report, was antagonized by four of the committee, among them Henry L. Myers, one of the Daly senators in the legislature, and C. M. Crutch- field, attorney for the Anacomda com- pany. With one member not voting the Daly people were able to defeat the motion by a vote of four to three. There will be primaries and a county convention as preliminaries to the se- lection of delegates to the state con- vention . The amusing part of the meeting was the ground taken by the Daly ' people for opposing the plan to have the committee name the state con- vention delegates. They denounced it as undemocratic^ and un-American. Of course anything that is un-dem- ocratic or un-American is particularly obnoxious to the Daly element in poli- tics—when it is against the interests of the Daly people. When these un- democratic and un-American methods favor the Daly people as they did in Carbon county—well,that’s different, of course. PATENTS*GUARANTEED Oùr fee returned if we fail.

They often keep secret for a long time the fact that they are suffering from drains, inflammation, ulcer- ation, or female weakness. But they can’t keep the se- cret very long, because the hollow eyes, cheeks that have lost their freshness, and the irritability which comes from sorely tried nerves, all conspire to publish tlfe sto- ry of suffering.

Pine end hemlock stumps and old log« that were supposed to have be- come worthless years ago are being gathered in Northern Michigan, to be tnaaufactured idto lath. Not many years ago t hat section was one of tbe moat densely wooded in America. Not many years hence Montana will alto ke denuded of timber. In fact timber is timber, right now. Both 0|é Great Northern and the Heretofore in Hamilton school dis- trict the invariable rnle has keen to employ only picked and experienced teachers. Good salaries, ranging as high as $100 a month for primary teachers have been paid and the the- ory has been, in consequence, that tbo best of mnteriul must be bad Tbe first departure from this rule was made by the buard last week when it hired a relative of one of the trus tees, a young and inexperienced girl not yet out of school, however estim- able and intellectual she may be, to fill the responsible position of teach- er of the primary grade. Among the applicants for the position were some of the most experienced and capable teachers in the United States. Some people may regard Mr. McCrackin’s action as in perfect good taste, and it may be in accordance with the law, but it will occur to the average pa- tron of the schools, whose good mon- ey goes to pay the teacher’s sages and whose children will be tbe gain- ers if teachers are wisely selected, for merit alcne without rrgard to “poll,” that the gentleman, in bia capacity of school trustee, would have dealt fair- er by tbe schoelB if he had, to say the least, told bis relative to first ugo and get a reputation as teacher” and Miss Florence Newman, who has qeen a great sufferer from muscular rhuematism, says Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is the only remedy that affords her relief. Miss Newman is a much respected resident of the village of Gray N. Y., and makes this statement for the benefit of others similarly afflicted.

He’ll Ask You Some Blunt Questions But Don’t Qet Angry. any proof of bad manners on their part will result unpleasantly for them. Uncle Sam recognises that the average American resents having to discuss his private affairs with outsiders ard has set out to make this census as little of an ordeal as possible. At the same time it is to be pretty sweeping in its scope. Here are some of the things that the enumerator will want to know about yourself and the inmates of your household, and he won’t necessarily depend upon the evidence of his eyes either: He will ask you outright your sex and color, and the fact that you wear trousers and have a white skin won’t excuse you from answering. He will ask you the date of your birth, month and year; whether you are single, married, widowed or divorced; how long you have been married to your present consort; how many chil- dren you have had and how rnanv are now living; whether you are deaf, dumb, or blind; and he will require to know these things about each member of your family. You will be expetced to tell where you were born and if you are a native of another country, when you came to this country and what steps, if any, you have taken to be come a citizen. Severe penalties are established for the punishment of any betrayal of in- formation received by the enumerator. Whatever you tell him is a confidence between you and the government, and he is merely the apparatus through which the desired information passes. If he is false to his trust and repeats to any person any information received in the performance of his duties, he may be fined $503 upon conviction. Not only may henot show his sched- ules to any person other than his supe- eriors in the census office, but he must promptly destroy all imperfect copies, For returning false information about any person on his schedules he may be fined $5,000 and imprisonment for two years. Canvassing or advertising of any kind while in the discharge of his duties is forbidden to him and he must do his work himself and not delegate it to any one else. He . cannot even take any one with him while making his rounds except another census office employee, nor can he take an inter- preter except by special authority. Every precaution to protect the public has been taken. WWWttW I Ho! for the Springs! jj The outitiK season 1ms come and 3 Wiles’ springs will be a favorite resort « this year.

Some time after June 1 a man will call at your -house and ask yon ques - tions. It may be that the questions that he asks will strike you as being very personal in nature. Perhaps lie may exasperate you, but you must remember that he is a man and a brother and refrain from hitting him with the furniture, for he is employed by the government to get you down on paper and make you a part of the cen- sus of 1900. If you refrain from re- plying to any of his queries perhaps he will put you down as a deaf mute, for there is a special catalogue of per- sons thus affleted and also for the blind.

As wo understand it, we now have, locally, a government of the people, by Messrs. McGinty and McCrackin, and for Messrs. McCrackin and Mc­Ginty, and wo are told that, only very unappreciative people can help being satisfied with it. This government by and for the gentlemen mentioned embraces the town, schools, chnrches and is even reaching out for the coun ty. Onr prediction is, however, that these petty despots will eventually overreach themselves sad great will be the fall thereof.

From th e D u tte M iner.

Some weeks ago the democratic central committee of Carbon coivnty met to make arrangements for the selection of delegates to the state con­vention which meets in Butte next month. The county committee was controlled by the political followers of Marcus Daly. It decided to do away with primaries and county con­ventions and name the delegates to the state convention without any such legal formalities.

Tlie reason of this was obvious. The county committee, being a Daly organization, could naino delegates w ho m ig h t lie d ep en d ed u p o n to do w hatever (lie D aly peop le wanted.In a contest before the tie-,pie iu the primaries and later in the convention there was no tolling how the Daly people might fare. They were averse to taking any chances. So the com­mittee named the delegates to the state convention.

In Ravalli county there is quite an under-curreut of feeling against the Daly system of regulating the affairs of the people. So strong is this feel ing that the democratic county com­mittee is about evenly divided be- tweeivJIaly and anti Daly. The com­mittee meTlast week to arrange for the selection of delegates to the state convention. One of the anti-Daly members, accordirg to the report pub­lished in the Anaconda Standard, “got up and favored doing away with the spring primaries and convention, stating that the farmers were all-busy, there was some sickness in Hamilton, and it would tie better all around to let the committee select the 15 dele­gates to the first state convention and thus do away with the convention.”

This proposition, according to the same report, was antagonized by four of the committee, among them Henry L. Myers, one of the Daly senators in the legislature, and C. M. Crutch­field, attorney for the Anacomda com­pany. With one member not voting the Daly people were able to defeat the motion by a vote of four to three. There will be primaries and a county convention as preliminaries to the se­lection of delegates to the state con­vention .

The amusing part of the meeting was the ground taken by the Daly ' people for opposing the plan to have the committee name the state con­vention delegates. They denounced it as undemocratic^ and un-American.

Of course anything that is un-dem- ocratic or un-American is particularly obnoxious to the Daly element in poli­tics—when it is against the interests of the Daly people. When these un­democratic and un-American methods favor the Daly people as they did in Carbon county—well,that’s different, of course.

Secrets.W omen can keep secrets.

They often keep secret for a long time the fact tha t they are suffering from drains, inflammation, ulcer­ation, or female weakness.But they can’t keep the se­cret very long, because the hollow eyes, cheeks th a t have lost their freshness, and the irritability which comes from sorely tried nerves, all conspire to publish tlfe sto­ry of suffering. The usual motive for such secrecy,- dread of indelicate questions and offen­sive examinations, is removed by Dr. Pierce's methods. Diseases of the wom­anly organs are perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

Heretofore in Hamilton school dis­trict the invariable rnle has keen to employ only picked and experienced teachers. Good salaries, ranging as high as $100 a month for primary teachers have been paid and the the­ory has been, in consequence, that tbo best of mnteriul must be bad Tbe first departure from this rule was made by the buard last week when it hired a relative of one of the trus tees, a young and inexperienced girl not yet out of school, however estim­able and intellectual she may be, to fill the responsible position of teach­er of the primary grade. Among the applicants for the position were some of the most experienced and capable teachers in the United States. Some people may regard Mr. McCrackin’s action as in perfect good taste, and it may be in accordance with the law, but it will occur to the average pa­tron of the schools, whose good mon­ey goes to pay the teacher’s sages and whose children will be tbe gain­ers if teachers are wisely selected, for merit alcne without rrgard to “poll,” that the gentleman, in bia capacity of school trustee, would have dealt fair­er by tbe schoelB if he had, to say the least, told bis relative to first ugo and get a reputation as teacher” and
