MORE OF 1T.

They say that young Mr.. Harrison
has an ownership interest in Frank
Leslie's weekly newspaper. Probably
that is not true. Mr.. Arkell represents
the control of that paper. and the story
i'm h East is that he simply hooked
Harrison to his journalistic chariot as
a good advertisement for the hour.
However that may he, here are a few
lines of editorial comment i'm Leslie's:
II was AN outrage when Governor Tople re-
fused To sign the certificate Of election Of Con
gresham Carter. who had n plurality of over

Evidently Harrison is sitting at the
editorial desk. to fab lies and aid his
Montana associates in their determined
effort to circulate, far from home, false
reports about the situation here.

NO USE FOR IT.

In the rump house at Helena Mr..
Bray has put i'm notice respecting "a bill
to prohibit prize fighting. What good
a come from doing that? Montana
has a stringent law on the subject
already. 1t is very clear in all its pro-
visions. Ii e not allow prize ring

1t woul be impossible for Mr.. Bray
to devise a more complete prohibition

IT SEEMS TO BE CARRIED.

In all probability, Butte will put the
Gaynor alarm service i'm operation.
The system has no standing with men
who know anything about fire alarm
service in any leading city of the United
States, but the scheme has a majority
in the council. although the leading
business men i'm the city are opposed
to il.
Something has been said about the
extra money which Butte must invest
in the plant itself, as against the Origi-
nal cost of the Gamewell. OF course.
this item is Of small account, il
the system itself assures a
service superior to that which the
t;amewell can furnish. But our friends
in Butte will discover that the cost of
maintaining the Gaynor will exceed by
hundreds of dollars annually the ex-
pense involved i'm operating the rival
system, and this is an item which the
average taxpayer will be disposed to
take into account.
However, the subject isn't worth dis
cussing. as the Gaynor has secured u
majority in the ounci and that appears
to settle it. Butte Is IA rich city and
IAN afford to experiment. That's what
il will do i'm adopting the alarm sys-
tenn which has "a majority of the alder
men.

FIXING III UP.

ixe by u vote that il neither quorum
nor majority. does not surprise ms.
They intended to do it from h first.
Their course il q fragrant outrage,
but SO was the stealing of the
tunnel precinct. The only difference
in that it took the managers a good
while to tempt Mr.. Richards into n
dirty and q dishonest act. The con-
spiracy finally captured him, however,
and the STANDARD deplOres the fact.
Better than any man j n Montana, Mr..
Richards knows that he is playing n
towards part. But what of 1t. He
had to match his conscience againt his
political ambition. lie il Joined to his
idols. Let him alone.
Next week will see two republicans
picked out for membership i'm h fed
eral senate. They will not he honest
representatives of h people, they are
the offspring Of fraud. Their election
will signify that men like MIR. Richards
favor a precedent which, here
after, will make every precinct i'm Mon
tana the easy prey of any designing
rascal who wants to fix his fangs on
any Office i'm the peoples gift.
The conspiracy cannot move too
rapidly. 1t may ripen successfully, be-
cause majorities do not u in IN of
its plans. No newspaper ever dared To
put into type a more cOwardly utter
ance than the lines printed yesterday
i'm the Helena Journal which say that
"there il nothing in the constitution of
Montana requiring a majority on the
part Of the legislature i'm the selection
of temporary officers"
There il no telling what the demo-
Gratis will do; but by all means, let the
republicans carry this dirty fight over
the senatOrship out of h state. The
people will rejoice at its removal as
they would welcome release from pesti-
lence.
II the plans of the republicans are
carried out, Colonel sanders will he de-
feated, q political imbecile will he the
contestant for the east side. and, accord
ing to the present slate, In west side

ON WRONG GROUND.

Leading republican newspapers in
the East state the silver question as IL
IL were an issue between the federal
treasury and the 'silver ring" They
assume that the liberal treatment of the
metal in fraught with all sorts of dan
ger to the country, that h nation can
stand a little of it but not very much,
and that h "silver ring" would wisely
take what Mr.. Window offers rather
h run h risk of getting nothing at
all.
IL doe not occur to these people that
the question has merit or that it in
wolves the interests of any citizen out
side of a little group of men who are
rated to he owners of big silver prop
critics in the West and who, these re-
publican papers assume, must be pa
tronized by the general government for
the politics there may be i'm it.
How can the cause of silver be intel
ligently presented to these eastern
writer's? The vital issue has been
e~loquently and honestly put. 1t has
been shOwnt that the question il Of small
account SO far rs the silver-producing
class Is concerned. The wrong done to
the vast debtor class by legislation
which debased the currency has been
distinctly pointed out. The fact that
short-weight silver mean short weight
in exact proportion for every product
of field and farm has been taken into
the account, but when figures are
brought out to show that the fall i'm the
value of products has been i'm precise
ratio with the degradation of silver, the
ready and illogical response is that
other causes are mainly operative I'm in
%fiuencing the value Of these commOdi-
ties.
Pre-eminently. the fight for silver il
the fight for the vast debtor class. and
that il the great body Of people ms
against the bond holding oligarchy. If
indeed these leading republican news
papers have the right view of the
situation, If it il true that
silver il to find favor merely out of
compliment to the .'silver ring"-where
eve or whatever that may be-then
honest newspapers should stoutly op-
since they assume him to be prompted
merely by a desire to placate the silver
producer.
How strangely in contrast all this
with the plank framed into the national
platform, last a which
