Liberal estimators put the price of
fusion victory at $10,000. This may
be a little high, but votes at five and
ten dollars apiece cost money.
After all, republicans of Holt county
made a good showing. At no distant
date in the past no republican was
allowed to warm an official chair.
The returns for O’Neill disclose who
are the partisans. Very few pop
voters scratched their ticket, while
75 per cent of republicans failed to
vote ’er straight.
Would the fair dames who are sigh

into the ballot box agree to annually
shoulder a shovel, go out onto the
streets and work out a poll tax ac

Senator Gorman may be a great and
wise statesman, but it is our humble
opinion that, he is mistaken if he
thinks President Roosevelt’s position
on the race question will militate
against his candidacy in 1004. It is
the president’s frankness and honesty
on public questions that has endeared
him to the hearts of so many Ameri
cans.
Butte got something of a blackeye
last Saturday at a special election
held in Boyd county to vote on a bond
proposition to build a court-house.
The bonds were overwhelmingly voted
down, the returns showing 1,200
against and <$00 for. It appears that
the taxpayers are coming to their
senses concerning bond propositions
and do not so readily fall in with
the schemes to tax themselves for the
benefit of others.
The Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union of Denver has a new and
commendable plan of combatting in
temperance. The power of the organ
ization will be focused to install a
course of scientific temperance as a
study in the Denver schools. This
looks like a feasable way of educat
ing the rising generation on the sub
ject, but such a system would find
abundant difficulty becoming in
trenched in the public school system
of the country generally as many
schools are dependent on saloon money
to $ay teachers’ salaries.
"It is an ill wind that does nobody
any good.” The benefits of the spring
floods in the Missouri valley are be
ginning to be realized. Dr. D. F.
Lucky, state veterinarian of Missouri,
says that hog cholera has disappeared
in that state and apparently had been
wiped out by* the spring floods. And
come to think about it, we don’t hear
any thing about hog cholera in Ne
barska nowadays. The bodies of the
diseased animals, together with much
other jermy refuse, were carried away
by tbe waters, and it is believed that
the disease was eradicated in this
manner. This shows clearly that the
spread of the disease is caused by
neglect of the dead bodies. The far
mers have been repeatedly warned to
burn them without avail, but the
lesson taught by the floods may re
ceive better attention.
V
BOYCOTTING THE BOYCOTT.
New York Tribune: An anti-boy
cott law just passed by the Alabama
legislature has attacted wide atten
tion by virtue of its dratic warfare on
all the mean and cowardly practices of
industrial intimidation. Laws can be
found on our statute books against
conspiracy to destroy a merchant's or
a manufacturer’s business, or to de*
prive any man of the right to sell his
labor in the open market. But few
enactments go the length of the Ala.
bama measure, or exhibit so explicitly
the abuses of the boycott and the
blacklist.
The measure just signed by Gover
nor Jelks was drawn and championed
by the citizens’ alliance of Birming
ham, Alabama's cheif manufacturing
center and the seat of most of its
strikes and labor disturbances. The
aim avowed by its authors was "to
promote the stability of business and
the steady employment of labor)
whether organized or unorganized.”
The new law forbids two or more per
sons to conspire together for the pur
pose of preventing any person, per
sons, firm or corporation from carry
ing on any lawful business within the
state of Alabama. It prohibits “pick
eting” the place of business of any
peison, firm or corporation, or loiter
ing about such place of business “for
the purpose of influencing or induc
ing others not to trade with, buy
from, sell to or have business dealing
with such persons, firm or corpora
tion.” The new law makes illegal the
printing or circulating of boycott
notices, cards, stickers and dodgers,
or of blacklists putting a ban on any
persons engaged in lawful business or
any judicial officer or other public
official because of his lawful official
acts. It proscribes the publication or
maintenance by any employer of a
labor blacklist, or the use of such a
blacklist to prevent any person or per
sons from obtaining employment.
Offenses against the anti-boycott law
are to be punishable by fines of from
$50 to $500, or by imprisonment at
hard labor for sixty days.
In adopting such statute Alabama
takes a long step forward in the path
of social order and industrial pro
gress. The boycott and other kindred
expedients of Intimidation have been
defended by labor leaders and agita
tors as a legitimate means of warfare
against capital. But the most intelli
gent labor leaders themselves realize
that the boycott is a crude and cow
ardly weapon, as dangerous to those
who wield it as to those against whom
it is drawn. In so far as it overrides
by violence the right of the individual
to dispose of his own labor in his own
way, the boycott subverts order and
offends justice; and In so doing it
weakens the very foundations on
which the demands of labor for great
er recognition and compensation must
always rest. No cause can prosper
through brutality and intimidation,
and every appeal made to the vengeful
spirit of the black list is an invitation
to violence and crime. A resort to the
retaliatory methods now outlawed in
Alabama should be everywhere dis
couraged. The example set at Mont
gomery might be wisely and profitably
followed in every other state.
Chicago transportation Interests are
taking hold of the question of trans
porting freight in the city in a man
ner that will soon put the turbulent
and arbitrary teamsters out of busi
ness. The tunnel companys are ex
tending their under ground transpor
tation lines so that practically the
entire commercial portion of the city
will be covered. Spurs will be tunneled
from the main lines and connected
with all the big institutions so that
freight can be conveyed direct to and
from the railroads. Thus consign
ments of frieght can be taken under
ground to the basements of the busi
ness houses and by means of elevators
taken to any part of the building.
The United States is exporting
boots and shoes nowadays to the value
of #6,600,000 a year, while its imports
of shoes have become unimportant,
says the Omaha Bee. For this re
versal of the situation of a few de
cades ago the country has to thank
the republican protective tariffs,
which have built up this home in
dustry to its present colossal propor
tions.

died. But six prisoners were punish
ed during the month, each being con
fined in the “brig” for forty-eight
hours. E. L. Simon, the trusty who
escaped and was recaptured in Texas,
forfeits four months good time. The
kitchen report shows that the average
cost ot boarding the prisoners is 7
cents and the daily fare of guards and
other employes cost the state 12 cents.
Butte Gazette: Surveyors have
been busy the past week making a
preliminary survey from Butte to
Naper for a trolley line. Messrs. John
son & Pickier, owners of the Butte
Roller Mills and Electric Light system
announced long ago that when the
mill and light system were in opera
tion a trolley line from Anoka, via
Butte, to Naper would be taken up
and considered. As they will have in
the neighborhood of 100 horse power
more than they need for mill and
lights, the project of building and
operation this line is certainly feas
able, and one that should be encourag
ed by the above named towns, and it
is up to them to give Messrs. Johnson
& Pickier all the assistance in their
power.
Opinions High Cattle Prices.
L. II. Herrick, who is one of the
best known feeders of cattle in the
country, in a recent interview publish
ed in the Chicago Live Stock World,
said In relation to the future prices of
fat cattle and the feeding industry:
“I expect to get $8 a hundred in
Chicago for some of the cattle now in
my feed lots. Nothing can prevent
another sensational rise in the price
of fat beef save a commercial cat
aclysm, or a general filling up of feed
lots, and neither contingency is like
ly.’ Mr. Herrick put in an appear
ance at the fair grounds and upset
tradition by fetching two Angus bulls
along with him. It is the first time
in his career as a cattleman that he
has entered a breeding ring, although
his fat doddies have won him a
national reputation at the Chicago
International. When broached on
the cattle feeding question he expres
sed the unqualified opinion that
steers bought right and fed economi
cally will show satisfactory profits.
“Where is the supply of fat beef
cattle to come from next season?” he
asked. “Conditions at present are
strikingly analogous to those existing
two years ago. Beef soared in conse
quence, as it will soar again, unless
feeders become active or the country
goes to the dogs in a commerrciai
sense. I am demonstrating my faith
in the future of the market by feed
ing more heavily than last year and
but for the fact that I am carrying
500 head of breeding stock I would
fill up with feeders at present prices.”
“How much must corn drop to
warrant a profit in feeding at the
present prices of thin cattle?”
“I don’t care if it doesn’t drop.
Fifty cent corn can be fed profitably
on the market we are sure to have
next spring. Presidential year is
popularly regarded as an off season,
but prospects do not indicate commer
cial stagnation between now and
election time and that the demand
for beef will continue urgent, while
there will be a sharp contraction in
supply at the same time, is my firm
conviction. I sold $8 steers in Chica
go last year and expect to do it again
in 1904. McLean county will not feed
half as many cattle as last year. The
Funks will operate very lightly along
that line and practically all the beef
making will be done by men who
make a practice of feeding in season
and out and are financially able to
take the inseparable risk. I have
talked with a number of them lately
and they all view the future through
the same colored glass as myself.”
Best Liniment on Earth.
I. M. McHany, Greenville, Tex.,
writes, Nov. 2d, 1900: “I had rheuma
tism last winter, was down in bed
six weeks; tried everything, but got
no relief, till a friend gave me a part
of a bottle of Ballard’s Snow Lini
ment. I used it, and got two more
bottles. It cured me and I haven’t
felt any rheumatism since. I can re
commend Snow Liniment to be the
best liniment.” For rheumatic,
sciatic or neuralgic pains, rub in Bal
lard’s Snow Liuiment, you will not
suffer long, but will be gratiiied with
a speedy and effective cure. 25c, 50c

THE BRAIN IN DELIRIUM.
Strange Cases That Have Coira
Under Physician’s Observation.
Medical records in the various hos
pitals of New York city show that
though quite forgetful of recent hap
penings, aged persons recall long
past events in correct order, and
even lie again amid scenes passed
utterly out of recollection before the
disease of senility appeared.
A woman of 70, delirious from pleu
ro-pneumonia, repeated poetry in Hin
dustani. It developed lated on that
uo to the age of four she knew only
that language, but afterward had for
gotten that she ever spoke it. An
other peculiar case on record is that
of an illiterate maid servant who
while in 'the delirium of fever, recited
Greek and Hebrew for hours, although
when in health she knew no word of
either language, her ravings being
due to the brain impressions left by
the readings heardd many years be
fore of a learned rabbi whose servant
she had been.
HAD TO HAVE THE HAT.
Striker’s Wife Put Up Effective Plea
for Finery.
A woman went into a little millin
ery shop in One hundredth street,
near Amsterdam avenue, the other
day and asked to see a hat. A chiffon
creation, of which the price was $2
was shown her, and she expressed a
keen desire for it. “May I have it
now,” she asked, "if I’ll leave fifty
cents on deposit, and bring in the
rest later?” “That’s very unusual,”
replied the milliner. “When could
you pay the balance?” “That’s just
the point,” said the woman. “I don't
know. My husband is a plasterer. He
makes $5.25 a day while he is work-'
ing. But he has been on strike for
four weeks, and we have nothing.”
“But how do you live in the mean
time?” she was asked. “Hock every
thing we have, like the rest of the
strikers,” replied the woman. “Every
thing we own is in pawn, but I must
have that hat.” She got it.—New
