THEY WILL NOT FIGHT.

The fact demonstrates itself that
democracy i'm Montana will suffer il the
partyIs newspapers turn from vital
questions now awaiting settlement to
wrangle over personal grievances or to
revive personal feuds which were sup
posed 10 he dead and forever buried.
For its part. the STANDARD will frown
down the untimely attempts of any of
its contemporaries to involve any
members of the party in a faction
fight. Democrats in Montana have too
much ut stake to tolerate any such
folly. They believe that a grave politi-
cal crime has been committed in this
state. they rest under the conviction
that they have beer robbed of political
rights n public responsibilities
which. at n polls last October. the
people vested in them. They are help
less now because partisan spirit at
Washington has been more potent thar
the of duty with the republican
members OF the federal senate. They
must patiently wait for the Judgment
which, in the end, the people of Mon
tana will pass on the unnel precinct
vote. That question will be in the
mind of every voter when the next
general election comes. Whoever the
candidates., eac ballot will in fact
be cast in approval or disap-
proval of the action taken
in Silver Bow county. The
issue involves all that democrats
have been lighting for during seven
memorable months. They are pledged
to carry that fight to a finish: we do
not believe that a man of them will
applaud any misguided effort to rend
b party at this critical moment i'm it's

However, the only feature Of the

the STANDARD is the reference made
by Mr.. COckrell to the chairman Of the
board i'm the use of q word which, we
repeat, is not clear. We have simply
to say that Mr.. Cockrell is not the man
who a successfully impugn the mo-
tives of Mr.. Hamilton in any official
transaction. Mr.. Cockrell wanted the
award for his own town and nobody is
slurring him for that, the other COM
m~issiOners. prompted by broader mo-
tives, gave the county work to the
county's leading paper, n any insinu-
atoms coming now from the minority
will be easily understood by the public.
Mr.. Hamilton is not q man who needs
defending, while Mr.. Cockrell simply
shows bad blood and bad taste I'm his
cOwardly use of titles in their applica-
ton to h chairman Of the board. The
Deer Lodge member may provoke Mr..
Hamilton, but he surely cannot harm
him.

AN INGENIOUS MURDERER.

lie is an ingenious murderer who
takes pains to cOnsummate his crime
right on the boundary line between two
states. This was what Hiram Sawtelle
undertook to do when he decided to
kill his brother Isaac. He is being
tried in New Hampshire, and his oun
sci defies the prosecution to show that
the crime was not committed n Maine.
Should this objection hold good, and
Sawtelle be taken to Maine for trial,
the prosecution will again be chal-
lenged to prove that the murder did
not take place i'm New Hampshire.
The ingenuity, cunning and foresight
displayed by Sawtelle makes this N of
the remarkable murder cases on record.
The suggestion has been made with
good grounds of probability that the
murderer deliberately killed his man i'm
Maine, because in Maine murder Is not
punished by death. as in New Hamp-
shire. In all likelihood he tool the
precaution to save himself from the
gallows should worst come to worst.
The New York sam cites a somewhat
similar case which occurred twenty
years ago. n prisoner convicted of
murder in Massachusetts confessed
that he first tried to commit the crime
in Rhode Island, because there was no
capital punishment in that state. Fail
ing in the attempt. he followed his in
tended victim into Massachusetts, and
killed him there, under h impression
that the law of Massachusetts required
that at least one yea shoul elapse be-
tween conviction and execution. lie
wished to live rs long as possible.
In each of these cases it is worthy of
note that the murderer was content to
run the risk of imprisonment. but took
the greatest possible pains to avoid
capital punishment. This revelation
of the comparative efficacy of the two
penalties is very suggestive to those
who do not believe that hanging exerts
any deterring influence.

In Alder Gulch Days.

The death of Andrew ]. Davis calls to
mind the lush times i'm Virginia City,
when every one had ~money-when the sa-
looms were i'm the full tide of prosperity,
and hurdy gurdies and gambling tables
plundercd the confiding miners of their
easily earned gold. Mr.. Davis, who was
- native of Connecticut. came to Alder
Gulch in 1s6i-that memorable year when
Grants strategy was preparing for the
downfall of the ~Confederacy in 1855. Mr..
Davis brought little hard cash to the min
ing camp. but he soon became rich by
trade and money-lcnding. 1t is note
worthy that his great wealth was all ac-
quircd after middle age. He was A5 when
he came to Alder gulch and was much
older when his fortunate mining invest
ments yielded such large wealth.
