A IMAN WITH IDEAS.
JAMES G. BLAINE'S OPINION OF TAE
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Sheep Raising Should be Nurtured
Among Farmers; the Tobacco Tax
Abolished, and that on
Whisky Retained.
NEw Youx, December 9.-The 7 ribune
contains a long interview with James
G. Blaine on president Cleveland's mes
sage. He says; "I have been reading
an abstract of the president's message and
have been especially interested in the
comments of the London papers.
These papers all assume to declare the
message is a free trade manifests, and ev
idently are anticipating an enlarged mar
ket for English fabrics in the United
States as a consequence of the president's
recommendations. Perhaps that fact
stamped the character of the message
more clearly than any words of mine
can."
Besides your general and sweeping
opposition to the president's recommen
dations, have you any further specific ob
jections?
"Yes." answered Mr. Blaine. "I should
seriously object to a repeal of
the duty on wool. To repeal that would
work great injury to many interests, and
would seriously discourage what we
should earnestly encourage, namely,
SHEEP CULTURE AMONG FARMERS
throughout the United States. To break
down woolgrowing and be dependent
on foreign countries for the blankets we
sleep under, and the coat that covers our
back, is not a wise policy for a national
government to enforce."
"Do you think if the president's recom
mendation were adopted it would increase
our export trade?"
"Possibly, in some few articles of pecu
liar construction it might; but it would
increase our import trade ten fold as much
in great staple fabrics, in woolen and cot
ton goods, in iron, in steel, in all the
thousand and one shapes in which they
are wrought. How are we to export sta
ple fabrics to the markets of Europe un
less we make them cheaper than they do
in Europe, and how are we to manufac
ture them cheaper unless we get cheaper
labor than they have ?"
THE LABOR QUESTION.
"Then you think the question of labor
underlies the whole subject?"
"Of course it does," replied Mr. Blaine.
"It is, in fact, the entire question. When
ever we can force carpenters, masons,
iron workers and mechanics in every de
partment to work as cheaply and live as
poorly in the United States as similar
workmen in' Europe we can ,of course
manufacture just as cheaply as they do in
England and France. But I am totally
opposed to the policy that would entail
such results. To attempt it is equivalent
to social and financial revolution; one
that would bring untold distress."
"Yes, but might not the great farming
class be benefitted by importing articles
from Europe, instead of buying them at
higher prices at home?"
"The moment," answered Mr. Blaine,
"You begin to import freely from Europe
you drive our own workmen from me
chanical and manufacturing pursuits. In
the same proportion they become tillers
of the soil, increasing steadily the agricul
tural products and decreasing steadily the
large home demand, which is constantly
enlarging as home manufacture enlarge.
That, of course, works great injury to the
farmer, glutting the. market with his pro
ducts, and tending constantly to lower
prices."
Mr. Blaine declared also that he would
abolish the tobacco tax, but would retain
that on whiskey.

Judge Jackson then began to charge the

hour and fifty minutes. It was strongly
against Harper, and the judge declared
the prisoner committed wrohngful acts.of
his own admission. Summing up, he said
the court instructs the jury that it must
find on his own testimony that the de
fendant had committed a crime. The jury
were then instructed as to the form of
the verdict, and they were taken to their
room to begin their consultation. The
verdict will not be received until today:
BISMARCK PLOTTING.
The German Military Service Bill Creates
a Stir.
BERLix, December 12.-The preamble
of the new German military service bill
was issued tonight. It sets forth that the
German army is composed of men whose
liability to serve in the active army ex
tends only to 12 years, whereas in the
Russian army the period is 15 years, and
in the French 20. Besides this, it must
be considered, says the preamble, that
the geographical position of Germany
exposes her to attacks by powerful ar
mies on two frontiers simultaneously.
Her security lies in her strength, and
this should be greater than it is at pres
ent, and an end must'be put to the exist
ing unendurable condition of things.
The government therefore expects that
to secure the passage of the present bill
it will be sufficent to appeal to the patri
otism of the German people. By the bill
before the reichstag the six-yearly classes
formerly composed part of the land
strum, are placed in immediate readiness
for any emrgency.
The whole tone of this remarkable
manifesto suggests that the recent out
burst of the official press over the mass
ing of Russian troops on the frontier had
something of a fictitious characte*
Prince Bismarck is known to have great
ly hurt the chances for the immediate
passage of the landstrum bill, which the
millitary press now estimates will add
500,000 men to the effective force in the
event of mobilization, so a press cam
paign, recalling the similar agitation
preceding the septennate vote, was in
cited, and will be sustained until the bill
passes.
The concentration of Russian troops
on the frontier at the present time is
part of a long concocted plan of the Rus
sian war office. They are considered to
be necessitated by the special "difficulties
of Russian mobilization. At the same
time the presence of formidable masses
of Russian troops within striking dis
tance of the frontier will be held-by the
reichstag as a justification for the com
plete reform of the military.
Couldn't Agree.
BuTTE, December 10.-From the time
that the United States grand jury began
its labors at the term of court in Deer
Lodge, there has been constant complaint
on the part of United States district at
torney Smith. On Tuesday in response
to a grand howl raised by Mr. Smith
against the grand jury, judge Galbraith
summonea the jurors before him and lec
tured them as to their duties andthe folly
of failing to find true bills against parties
when conclusive evidence of guilt had
been brought. Thursday morning the
grand jury having failed to find a bill
against the men charged with the lynch
ing trouble at Philipsburg last July,
Judge Galbraith ordered the sheriff to
bring the jurors before him, and when
they were assembled, he said with much
acrimony: "Gentlemen of the jury: I
don't know that the court has anything to
thank you for. You are discharged from
all further duty." He thjn instructed the
clerk to issue a new venire and in con
formity with these instructions the fol
lowing persons from this city were sub
penaed to act on the grand jury: C. W.
Goodale, George W. Newkirk, J. W. Pen
rose, Thomas York, Mr. Foster, M. Gens
berger, James B. Royce jr., Fred Loeber,
D. J. Hennessy, Charles Shoemaker and
James H. Lynch.
Copper and Iron Rising.
NEw YORK, December 12.--A'Boston
dispatch says an eastern firm has offered
to take the entire production of all the
copper'mines in this country, except the
Calumet and Hecla, for the ensuing year
at 15% cents per pound. The syndicate
evidently intends buying every ton of
copper until the market price reaches
$80 a ton. The extraordinary advance
in Glasgow during the past three days
has, according to private cables, had the
effect of rousing the speculative spirit to
an extraordinary pitch on the other side.
New York metal mnen say the excitement
in the European iron market is naturally
having a great effect upon all subsidiary
metals over the whole world.

BLAINE'S MESSAGFE.
SUMMED UP BY LEADING NEW
YORK AND C~CAGO DAILIES.
It is Considered a Bid for the Republican
Candidacy and the Issue on
Which He Would go Be
fore the Country.
WAISINGTON, December 9.-In com
menting on Blaine's message, the Times
(independent) says: "This then is the stim
of Blaine's policy and as he is the leader
of the republican party at present, it mast
be taken as the policy of the republicans
until they repudiate it, and it would be
well for them to hasten to do it. Itis not
a policy they can go before the people
with." -
The Tribune (republican) says: "Blaine,
in Europe, speaks as an American; Cleve
land, in America, speaks as a British man
ufacturer anxious to be admitted without
any charge to t share of the best and lar
gest marketin the world."
The World (democratic) says: "The
Maine statesman's interview is in fact a
proclamation that Blaine considers him
self the chosen champion of protection,
and that he is ready to enter the presiden
tial lists again as such. The democratic
party could not ask for a better issue."
The Sun says: "If brother Blaine en
tertains such loose notions of the relations
between the fcderal government and the
states, it strikes us that he would be a
conspicuously unfit person to entrust with
the management of the nation's financial
affairs."
CHICAGo, December 9.-The Tribune
(republican), commenting editrially on
the Blaine message, says: "Blaine, as
might have been expected, has presented
high tariff protection from a partisan point
of view as an opposition issue to the pres
ident's views on tariff reduction. Blaine's
interview will have to stand upon its
merits, it will be endorsed or condemned
in accordance with the. value of the argu
ments set forth, andr ublic judgment will
not be inflanced by the distinguished
name, behind him. It is the weakest
ground he ever yet occupied, and no na
tional party can expect to go into a presi
dential campaign on that issue, no matter
who may be its leader, and win, The
surplus must be settled in some way and
in a different way from what iflli s been
settled. It bannot be settled in accer
dance with the Blaine idea."
WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
Both Free Traders and Republicans De
lighted With the Message.
WASiamiovorN, December 9.--The presi
dent's message takes everybody by 'sur
prise. Free traders and republicans are
delighted with it-free traders, because it
commits Cleveland and the democratic
party to a removal or reduction of the duty
on wool and a relaxation of taxation on
many dutiable articles, and a radical re
duction of duties imposed upon raw ma
terial entering into manufactories. Why
he reccommends virtually the removal of
the duty on wool with its revenue to the
government of only about $8,000,000, and
says nothing about that great staple, su
gar, with its revenue of over $50,000,000,
is passing strange.
Comments are varied. A Pennsylvania
democrat says: "It means 100,000 repub
lican majority next year in New York
state, and gives New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut to the hands of our pol
itical enemies."
Another says: "Itis the first step taken
to drive Randall into the republican par
ty, and he wont go alone.
Another said: "It is the outcropplngs
of the summer interviews Carlisle had
with the president at Oak View. Mr.
Cleveland's Carlisleism sticks out in every
paragraph."
Republicans are jubilant. Tom Reed
says: "Just like Cleveland. No one else
could have produced such republican
campaign thunder. What his rebel flag
order did with the. soldier element, this
mossage will do with 'the farmers, espec
lally the woolgrowers."
Senator Davls says: "It isonly another
evideace that the republican party has
passed the slough of its despondency, and
it is on the up grade."
Senator Sabin thinks: "If the repub
.san party have been looking for another
big democratic blunder, this is it.+ They
don't want anything better to give them
a boom toward the victory that will crown
the party next year.

Journal de aint Pete rsbujrg cngrat

Carnest as presidest, bit contdemns the
mob oras for sing Russia's name for
which was called for by the secretary, is
the result of Indian inspector Armstrong's
visit. The latter is now here, but refuses
to make public the result of his investiga
tions. It is believed, however, that he
found Williamson had neglected to chm
ply with the secretary's order to advertise
the grazing privileges, leaving the,
monopoly in the hands of one outfit, who'
had simply a private agreement asto their
occupancy. When directed to lease the
,lands, Williamson wrote the secretary
counselling delay, saying the Indians
wanted the steckmen then on the lands to
have the grazing. The secretary made no
reply. Armstrong oso found that Wil
liamson had made a contract giving Mc
Cormick McNutt the right to cut hay
on the reservation, though having no right
to make such a contract. Armstrong tore
their'contract up and made them pay the
Indians "$2 per ton for the hay. Charges
of a personal nature were also made, that
Williamson is loud, profane and quick
tempered.
A CRAZY FRENCHMAN
'Attempts the Life of Ex-Prime Minister
Ferry.
PAras, December 12.-Ferry has been
shot by a man named Aubertin, who ap
peared in the hall of the chamber of dep
uties and asked to see both Ferry and
Goblet. On Saturday Goblet did not re
spond to Aubertin'a request for an inter
view, but Ferry did, and on his appear
ance Aubertin drew arevolver and fired
three times at him. The wounds were
slight and M. Ferry was able to proceed
to the hospital, supported by friends. In
reply to inquires by friends as to the se
verity of his wound, h% responded: It is
nothing." Aubertin has been arrested.
Bystanders tried to lynch Aubertin after
he had fired the shots, but wqre prevented
with difficulty from carrying out their in
tention. The real name of the assailant
is Breckein. He is 20 years old. He
states that he is one of a band of 20 revo
lutionists. The band drew lots, and it
fell to him to Gommit the first crime.
Berekein declares that he swore to kill
Ferry. After his injuries had been ai
tended to at the hospital, Ferry returned
to his home on foot. A bulletin issued
by Dr. Trelot states that the wound in
Ferry's chest is a contusion.
In consequence of the attempt on the
life of Ferry, there were many heated
quarrels in the chamber of deputies be-,
tween moderates and radicals. Rouvier
joined the discussions, accusing the rad
icals of provoking, weak-minded persons
to deeds of violence. Several scuffles
ensued and it is expected they will lead
to duels.
The Virginia Legislature.
RicHMOND, Virginia, December 7.-,
The general assembly of Virginia met at
aton and organizet. Governor Lee's
message contains many important sug
gestions relative to state matters. In
view of the recent ddcision of the United
States supreme court, bearing on the Vir
ginia debt question, the governor recom
mends the passage of a .joint resolution
suspending legal proceedings against
those who have tendered coupons in pay
ment of taxes. as he was assured by au
thority that such action would decidedly
benefit all parties concerned. He thinks
when the bondholders consider this de
cision they will be willing to accept such
offer as the state can make, based upon
the surplus revenue to be applied to the
payment of interest on the principal of
what the state considers her just debt.
Rnssia Preparing.
PInts, December 7.-According to pri
vate advices from Warsaw, the massing
of Russian troops on the frontier is at
tributable to advices received by Russia
of a concerted plan by Germany and Aus
tria for united action in the event of war
between either of these powers and Rus
sia. In that contingency, it was propos
ed that Germany and Austria should sud
denly invade Russian Poland and occupy
Warsaw, by using greater facilities for
mobilizing. In consequence of the dis
covery of this alleged project, Russia re
Bolved to compensate for her slow power
of mobilizing, by a permanent increase
of her frontier forces. The movement
implied no aggression, but is purely a de
fensive precaution.

LARGE VEINS.
A MINING DISTRICT THAT IS COX
ITG TO THE FRONT,
And Whose Ores Will be Brought to
Great Falls for Reduction, or
Shipment, next Sunm
S mer.
Quite a number of old-timers of the
Barker and Neihart mining regions have
been here recently. From conversation
with them we learn that Barker is sure
to come to the front the coming summer.
The past three weeks have developed
the fact that there are a series of blanket
veins or or flat deposits in the immediate
vicinity of that camp, which show all the
signs of a deposit similar to Leadville.
Many miners have staid with this
camp for the past eight years, knowing
that the minerals were there. From the
latest discoveries it seems that not only
have they the carbonates of silver and
lead, but also it is going to be a gold pro
ducing camp. Specimens have been
- brought in this week !y George Allis
that conclusively prove that Barker is a
gold, silver, copper, lead and probably a
tin bearing camp.
The specimens exhibited by Mr. Allis
are essentially gold bearing in character.
As eight years ago, old miners predicted
that in the future all prospectors in this
vicinity would search for ore other than
I yet found, it seems now, that we are go
ing to have in the Barker district a large
area of carbonate deposits similar in
character to that of Leadville; not only
that, but large oxide deposits of copper
at the head of the trail; and in addition
thereto, new discovery of gold in that
vicinity.
The mountains in that region are al
most wholly unprospected, and on the
advent of the railroad we may expect to
see the whole of that locality completely
covered with locations which will furnish
their quota to the future reduction works
at Great Falls.
THE CRUISER ATLANTA.
S~ecretary Whitney Recommends a Fur

WAsHINm TOx , December 10.-Captain
Bunce's report as commander of the crui
ser Atlanta, is published today. The only
new phrase of the matter is the endorse
ment of secretary Whitney, which dis
poses of the subject in the following lan
guage:
The departn~ent deems that the Atlanta
should have some cobtinuous service be
fore charges are made. The suggestions
of captain Bunce are valuable and entire
ly proper, doubtless without any expecta
tions that his comments upon the ship
would be treated as anything else than a
professional discussion for the benefit ot
the department in the future. Many of
the criticisms have been discussed here
tofore, and some of her known defects
were intentionally overlooked by her de.
signers for the purpose of securing bene
fits in other directions. Aside from the
lack of speed, she represents a type with
merits and defects, and the balance can
be struck after she has had service..None
of the alleged defects have been repro
duced in subsequent vessels now in course
of construction.
A Free Trader.
NEw Yorn, December 7.--Mayor Hew
itt said after he had read the president's
message:
"I think he is very wise in confining its
subject to the financial question, He
grasps the fact that the surplus in the
treasury is dangerous both to our busi
ness interests and to political morality of
congress. He points out clearly that it
can only be reduced by increased expen
ditures or by the reduction of taxation;
the latter is, of course, the only states
nranlike method. He proposes taritf re
duction substantially upon the raw mate
rials of industry. This is the policy I
recommended in 1883, and every year
subsequently inrillswhich I introduced
or in speeches which I made upon the
floor. - _

ANOTHER STAGE. LINE.
Lewiston Wishes More Direct Railroad
Communication.
There is some talk of ant effort being
made to get a tri-weekly mail line estab
lished aetween Lewiston and Stanford for
more direct communication with -Great
Falls, Fort Benton, Helena and the east.
To reach points on the Manitoba, people
of this section have to travel in a circle
and go at least forty miles out of their
way under the present stage facilities.
The new line will take the most direct
route to Stanford, probably following the'
Spring creek valley down to the Judith
as near as practicable. This line would
be a great convenience to parties who de
sire to visit the "Future Great," Helena
or Benton. To parties going east- it
would save a night's staging. Under the
head, "The New Stage Line," found else
where, it will be seen that Great Falls
has become the terminus of the Montana '
Stage Company's line instead of Benton,
the change taking place last week. As
all roads lead to Rome,".no doubt Great
Falls would render. valuable aid in the
establishment of this route, as it would
enure to the benefit of that city. Talk it
