ALL IN

Montana has more available land
than either of the Dakotas, IL has hun
dreds of miles more i'm railroads than
Washington. Its present are
greater than those of any of n new
states in the Northwest. its possibilities
are fiv fold grander than the best of
them can boast. Its patriotic people
have been looking joyously forward to
the hour when all h rights of full cit
izenship might be theirs. yet there was
no one to answer the roll call for Mon
tana yesterday when, amid demonstra-
tiOns of applause, the representatives
of the new states were welcomed to
seats i'm the federal senate.
Sixty DAYS ago the people of Mon
tana met all the requirements imposed
by the general government, providing
for the administration of public affairs
and arranging in orderly manner for
the responsibilities of statehood. Fraud
sought to pervert the popular will and
the indecent fight which was witnessed
at first in Silver Bow county has been
transferred to he capital of the state.
A week of wrangling there finds public
business in confusion, h state with
out a proper form of government and
the people FESTIVE under restraint for
which there Is no warrant and which
becomes constantly more ~disgraceful
the longer it is maintained.
The time will come, not 80 very long
hence, when the people will insist that
barriers be remOved-and h de-
mand will come in tones that
viii be needed at Helena. But for the
lncurbed ambition of two or three men,
m end might be put to the unseemly
quarrel at h state capital within 10
hours. But for these men, the legisla-
ture chosen by the people would be
moving along accustomed lines at this
hour, the various departments of control
and government might be perfected and
the machinery of a new state in the
Union would be fully operative. Be-
hind all this vexation and delay are the
personal fortunes of these individuals
I'm whom the people have not the slight
est interest and on whom, before many
days are spent, all the responsibility for
existing confusion will fall with crush
ing weight.
There is a mistaken theory afioat
that, If the rival legislatures stick it out
for three months the life Of the legisla-
tive body will hen end and Governor
Toole will appoint two senator's. The
governor is AS free to appoint to-day as
he will be 80 days hence. There is now
no legislature i'm session and the fact
that members of that body linger about
Helena until the middle of February
viii have no significance, since, If the

HIS SILVER

It's no difficult task to set Montana
republican newspapers right in regard
10 Speaker Reeds silver record, n n
relations Of Congressman Carter to that
Rentleman's election. In April, 1880.
Mr.. Reed voted i'm favor of the suspen-
sion Of silver coinage. lie voted against
the Bland bill. He has been cOnspicu-
ously and consistently the enemy of
silver. He took active measures to hurt
the cause of silver in Garfield's time.
When he came to Anaconda, on Fri
day, September %. to speak for Carter,
Mr.. Reed was handsomely received and
expressed himself highly Gratitied with
the reception accorded him by republi-
PANS and democrats. On that evening,
at q point in his speech where he was
dying the American eagle at a danger
ously high point, some one In h audi
ence inquired, "Mr. Reed, what Dol
silver ?" The answer never came, as
Mr.. Reed was too busy getting the
eagle down just then. After the meet
ing. everybody enjoyed the query that
effectually Disconnected SO ready a
platform talker as he il admitted to he.
II there is i'm this country a man who
has been persistently hostile to the sill
yer interest of the Northwest, that man
In Mr.. Reed, of Maine, and the leading
republican newspapers of the North
west, outside Of Montana, have urgent
ly opposed his election just at this time
when silver is believed to nave chance
in congress.
SO much for the speaker. As to Mr..
Carter, he cordially supported Mr.. Reed
during the fight, and n New York re-
publican congressman wrote to u friend
in Montana, three weeks ago, that Mr..
Carter was pledged to vote for Reed
when the Montana campaign was prog
ressing. Congressman Carter is also
credited with having done his full
share toward carrying to his ~favOrite
the vote Of other republican members
from the Northwest. Then there is the
added fact that, If Mr.. Carter's close
friends i'm Helena tell the truth, his
strong second choice was Mckinley,
and not Cannon or any western man.
The simple truth is that Carter, Wilson,
Herman and the rest of the northwest
republicans yer as constant supporters
~ Reed had in caucus.
