TIE DEADLY PARALLEL,

In yesterdays MINER we held up the
mirror to the Inter Mountains vacillat-
ing nature through the deadly parallel.
WI showed that journal by its own ut
terrances where it stood before the cleo
ton in support Of Secretary Windows
lead ore trickery and where 1t seeks to
stand nov. We showed that that jour-
nal used the Window lead trick dishon-
estly before the election to influence
votes for the Republican party in Mon
tana, in spite of the fact that this jour-
nal and the Democratic press of the terri
tory exposed and denounced the trick,
and in spite of the fact that it bore every
evidence of a campaign trick upon the
face of it. The Inter Mountain knew then
az well as now, that the quasi-oficial
action of the assistant secretary In re-
spect to Mexican lead ore was taken
simply to deceive the people of Montana
for campaign purposes, and we beg to
add. that the Inter Mountain and its
party worked the deception for all that
it was worth. The Inter Mountain now
admits (see the deadly paralleD that it
knew a month before the election that 1t
was a Republican trick and that it SO
warned the public. As to the character
Of the warning we again refer the dear
public to the deadly parallel. When that
journal saw its dual self Yesterday IN
TIE MINERS deadly parallel mirror, like
Peter, it denied its identity as soon as
its press room could get up steam, but
the fact remains that the deadly parallel
photograph was taken from nature, and
the file Of the Inter Mountain proves it
conclusively. That journal devoted its
entire. editorial page yesterday to that
denial Of identity, but it consists wholly
Of q lot Of silly verbosity having nothing
to entitle it to notice except the deep
impress of dishonesty whichit bears, and
which. is the registered trade mark of
that journal in respect to all political
matters. As a fair example Of the Inter
Mountains logic to prove itself TO De
some one else, we quote the following:
The esteemed MINER can not get up early
enough in the morning to work the deadly
parallel on this journal, not even though it
use double loaded circus poster type.
Such an outburst Of egotism may tickle
the vanity of the writer, but it is as des-
titute Of argument to disprove its W
contradictory ~utterances as perdition is
Of moisture. That the Inter Mountain
may have another opportunity Of self
Identification we again ask it to scruti-
nize the feature of the deadly parallel
photograph. This community recog-
nizes the picture and p%ronounces 1t to be
a good one.

INVEST IN A MONKEY.

The Oregonian affects still to believe
that Montana has elected a Republican
governor and legislature. Is Portland
so far away? or, is the O%regOnian near
sighted? There are none SO blind as
those who will not see. If the O%regonian
is that kind of an organ it should pur-
chase a monkey at once and take down
its newspaper single. Should it decide
to travel, it might take in Helena and
Butte and gather up the Journal and
Inter Mountain, as both Of these organs
chord with the Oregonian.

STATES

Is the Inter Mountain suffering a re-
morse of political conscience? There is
one break, however, which that journal
will hardly make. Conscience-stricken
though it be, it will hardly return to the
Quay corruption fund the three thousand
pieces of silver which it received for its
willingness to assist in blindfOlding the
people of Montana before the election to
prevent them from seeing the Window
lead ore trick. And yet having turned
states evidence and betrayed it's pal, that
is just what it should do, 1t is said that
there is honor among thieves, but then,
of course, every rule has its exceptions.

The Bridge.

From the Kansas City Times: I stood
On the bridge at midnight, two footpads
came up behind me and asked me for my
"mon." They asked me for my money as
the moon was rising up, and for ten long
minutes l had not had a "sup." I saw
their dark reflections below me in the tide,
and what I was to do I could not quite de-
eide. They did not find about me as much
been havin' a blank of a time. So as the
tHo consulted as to what should be nv
fate, ! said I'm not forget it, just mark It
the slate" How often. oh, how often.
have I thought OF that night with glee, but
never will those footpads strike q balance
off with me.

Washington Territory claims a 40 per
cent. increase in population during the
last year and the election returns seem
to support the claim. That the increase
is far from desirable, however, is shown
by the lawlessness and reign of terror
which exists at Tacoma and other parts
of the territory, making indignation
meetings the order of the day. No wonder
that Washington went overwhelmingly
Republican.

The London "Times" In Favor of Its Pass
ing to the United States.
LONDON, October 12.-The Times says:
In view OF the amount OF English capital
invested in the Sandwich Islands. England
could not see them pass into the hands OF
any foreign power with indifference, but
that their acquisition by the United States
would be regarde with more equanimity
than their spoilation by any European
power to which the British government
would never submit.
The whole tone OF the article points to a
desire that the United States government
may see it's way clear to gobble up the
islands, and the writer's intention is evil
IDENTIFY to encourage Uncle Sam to such a
course. ~
If the presentory party, OF which the
Times is to some extent the mouthpiece,
has any axe to grind by inducing the United
States to depart from it's traditional pol
icy of minding its business, few people on
this side of the water expect to see it sue
coed. Well informed men here understand
that the scheme for the acquisition of ter
ritory thousands OF miles distant from it's
shores is not likely to find favor in Amer
lea.

The Inter Mountains journalism Is
highly scented with hayseed odor. when
it gives the Helena Journal credit for Or

deadly parallel.

THE r TO GO.

The Helena papers are engaged in a
bare-knuckle fight that ought to be to a
finish, as the loss of some Of them would
be a God-send to the town. Should it
become a question of the survival of the
fttest, the Journal will be the first to go.
The Associated Press could not afford
to place its reputation in the hands of
the Journal. The Journal is not a news
paper, nor does it claim to be more than
a one-sided. subsidized booster Of corrupt
men and rotten principles.

General Malone. Virginia's Republic

General Malone, Virginia's Republican
candidate for governor, was a rebel brig
adler, but like LOngstreet and many
others, he is a Republican now, which
wipes out the past and makes him a pol
itical saint. No matter what a man has
done, there is remission of sins in Re-
publican faith, and a license to beat his
record if it is in him. While he carries
the keys of a Republican heaven what
outrage may he not commit in the name
Of Republicanism?
