THE London Economist takes a
gloomy view Of the silver question
through its English spectacles. 1t Ia
ments the trouble it thinks in store for
India in these words: "Three years or
five years hence, perhaps even earlier,
the new silver coinage law will be re.
pealed or altered; silver production will
meanwhile have vastly increased, and
unless the gold output Of the world
doubles or trebles the price of silver will

rupee will 60 below a shilling, and the
Indian finances will be in greater diff.
ca!ties than ever. Yet India is power.
less to guard against this eventuality:
she cannot go on raising 100000 or A.,
100000 more taxes than she wants and
boarding the surplus. All she can do is
to abstain from increasing her gold liza
bilities, and even to reduce them as fal
as possible"

The jealousy of the effete east toward
the wild and woody west is manifested
on the slightest occasion. Thus recent
ly we commented on the proprosal to
introduce the bounding kangaroo into
Montana not only for the sake of his
leather but for the fun there is in the
spring of his hind legs. The pleasant
picture we drew of the wild astonish-
ment of Grow Indian when he should
flush his first kangaroo leads the Boston
Transcript to this reflection:
Montana newspapers vary the usual sum-
mer discussions by pleasantly re-introduc-
ing the plan, said to be afoot among wealthy
ranch owners of that new northern state, to
import kangaroos to hunt. So long as the
plan is afoot in Montana the kangaroos are
not likely to be, and the organs of free
trade and protection may discuss the i'm
portation of kangaroos with proper abstract
fervor, 1t is interesting that the question
of the Australian kangaroo should follow
80 closely the introduction into America of
the Australian ballot. In one respect the
kangaroo is exceedingly like the Australian
ballot: it is great bolter. Here its modest
and retiring nature serves it in good stead.
When Capt. Cooks crew first saw the kan
CARGO on the banks of the Endeavor river,
the possibility Of its being domesticated in
place of an anise-seed bag for the hunters
of Montana, probably never crossed the
mind even of the bo'sun. The progress of
the ages is peculiar, very much like the
progress of the kangaroo, and the disap-
~ <ha hut II ~, en- Lan a
definite just in time to turn the thoughts of
men toward the timid, shrinking marsupial,
who would coyly evade their attentions,
and add to the pleasures of pursuit less by
their wildnass of nature than by their great
bashfulncss. Just what a Montana rancher
or cowboy would do with kangaroo when
he came up with it, an unprejudiced and
highly cultivated eastern sportsman would
not be able to say. To shoot it would be
not unlike shooting gentle and amiab!e
apinster aunt who had taken her knitting
in handbag to 60 a-visiting at neigh
boris. Still the kangaroo has been known
to turn upon a pursuing dog if very much
worried. There might be policy of wor-
riment adopted. In one respect the intro.
duction of the kangaroo might be valuable
to American civilization, apart from all
commercial consideration of his hide. HI
is great living object lesson in diplomatic
policy. From this timid beast diplomats
may learn anew, as from fable, the fol
lowing useful lesson: When you are il
deubt-dodge!
We beg to inform our Athenian con
temporary that the whole thing is re
publican scheme and that Congressman
Carter will introduce the kangaroo pol
icy in our state campaign this fall.

IT is generally assumed that the Aus
tralian continent is surely destined to be
peopled by an English speaking race
but Mr.. Switzerland, in recent article
on the German Villages Of South Aus
tralia," shows that the Teutonic people
are settling in that country in such
numbers as to threaten English suprem-
sacy. Already from 10000 to 10000 Ger
man colonists are gathered at the anti
podes as tillers of the soil and the I'M
migration goes steadily on. Recently
the great vine-growing capacity of the
soil has been developed and this fact
promises to cause still larger influx of
population. The finest steamers en-
gagged in the Australian trade are bring
ing loads of passengers on every trip
from Bremen and Antwerp to Austria
liam ports. While the German language
is still exclusively used in the colonies,
Mr.. Switzerland believes it is only a
temporary custom and that English
speech will gradually come into common
= use. But it is evident that England is
not destined to keep all her institutions
successfully engrafted upon these colo
MES. German thought and custom are
likely to make a powerful imprint upon
the future of this great country.

The Anaconda Standard is respect
fully informed that Mr.. Speer's figures
give Butte 10000 inhabitants. 1t has
$1,000 in the same way New York gets
three millions-by claiming the people

nothing to do with the capital question
a year hence. We are glad to believe
that through the efforts Of the Miner
and Inter Mountain the vote of Butte is
to be be delivered solidly for Anaconda.

Babcock. of Yellowstone. was one OF the
best liked men in the senate. While his
only attempt at speech making was not
glittering success, Babcock showed all the
elements of useful and excellent legisla-

larly bright, the republicans can do no bet
ter than renominate their popular senator.

But the exposure and the comments Of the
press can put the Louisiana lottery under
the ban of national reprobation, so that the
leaders and agents of the mischief may be
pilloried in public condemnation and con-
tempt. The fraternity of the states cannot
be better illustrated than by their common
interest in so good a cause as the overthrow
of the Louisiana lottery.

The efforts of Gov. Nichols, the gov
ernor of Louisiana, to kill the lottery
hydra in that state are now being sup
plemented by an organized movement of
leading men of the state which may yet
drift into political party. Harper's
Weekly, in commenting on the situa-
ton, makes some strong points. 1t says:
It is one of those moral conflicts which
always seem to be at disadvantage in
practical politics." but which in this coun-
try are tolerably sure in the long run to end
we'll: and the vigorous controversy Is an
illustration of the activity of the public
conscience. The Louisiana lottery has
been brought to general public notice by
the steadfast persistence of its opponents,
whose association has worked most effec-
lively to arouse public sentiment to save
the honor of the state. The result is the
more gratifying because the moral standard
of Louisiana is not thought to be very high.
and the easy and insidious corruption of
the lottery could hardly find more prom

Indications point to plenty of fun in
Choteau county this fall. The republi-
cans will probably nominate John W..
Power for the senate and they have strong
hopes of getting away with him. The
Powers have started a new paper in Fort
Benton to Offset the tart pen of Uncle
Daniel Searles. It is safe to predict that
the Power family will be shown up in print
by the River Press in way that will make
some one tired. It is not known who will
head the democratic ticket, but the nomi-
nee will probably be Joe Baker. He is a
good fellow and valuable man in the sem
ate, and all hope to see him back in the
senatorial toga.
The republicans in Missoula county are
pretty well discouraged over the prospect
of electing senator. Ruthford has de.
clined to run for which the good people of
the county should be grateful. The new
population IN Missoula county is said to be
largely democratic thus assuring the
presence of democratic senator. There is
very little talk about candidates but there
is no lack of excellent names.

Without the slightest doubt, the democratic

The East side democrats, in contrast with
their local republican brethren, have never
been accused of asking for and getting
away with everything. They know the
West side is entitled to the Office, and they
are entirely willing to have it that way.
The man named by the West side demo-
Gratis will be the next congressman of Mon
tana.
MANY names have been mentioned. It
has been rumored that Hon. w. A. Clark
WAS in the race. This is not so. Mr.. Clark
was elected a United States senator last
winter, and was deprived of his seat by the
combined republican thieves of Montana
and the United States senate. Mr.. Clark
does not care to appear candidate fol-
congress, for he feels that he has had his
share of honors from the party for the
time being. He is in the prime OF
life and is strong man in
every way. The time will undoubtedly
come when Mr.. Clark will occupy q seat in
the United States senate. The candidacy
Of Hon. H. L. Frank has also been talked
of. For personal reasons Mr.. Frank will
not allow his name to be mentioned in tbs
convention. He was one of the ablest anG
most popular representatives in the las
house. He is a young man with brigh

JUDGE TRMBLE has acted during the
present campaign like man he is a
Democrat and was Democrat long before
the gang now in charge of the Democratic
campaign knew what their own political
opinions were. The judge would not bow
down to the commands and bulldozipg OF
the gang, and supported the movement for
statehood and the constitution honestly
and fairly and hence the corrupt ring that
opposes statehood for New Mexico, for its
own wicked and dishonest purposes, has
read him out OF the Democratic party.
But if the party can stand it, Judge Trim
ble can. The good citizens, the progress
sive citizens, and the honest people of New
Mexico will gratefully remember Judge
Trimble's excellent work in their behalf

IT is astonishing to note the effect, the
falsehoods and ISLANDERS of the anti-state
sore-heads have had upon some men
who, in the ordinary walks of life are
counted independent, self-reliant, earn
est and conscientious in all things. For
instance, imagine man of intelligence
arguing against the constitution now
pending because it limits the taxation
of lands to l per cent and does not
limit taxation as regards the poor man.
or words to that effect u """h ie"oi-
uuce were not downright pitiful it would
be positively funny. Let the man who
undertakes to criticise the constitution
first post himself upon its provisions.
That particular one referring to taxation
IS certainly 80 plain that he who runs
may read. 1t is absolutely fair and just
to one and all, the rich and the poor
alike.

means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for period of not less than
SIX months in the year, and we further
favor the comforting upon the voters of
each school district the right to impose
additional taxes for such district for such
purposes, and we urge the election of
members to the legislature who will favor

We denounce and condemn in the most

of the Democracy that the native people
of this territory are mentally and morally
disqualified for self government; on which
ground that party bases its chief objection
to the constitution.

securing to them liens for their services
and also establishing suitable courts of

ences between employees and employers.

DELEGATE ANTONIO JOSEPH, a candi-

and antl,statehood platform, has not yet
explained how he came to say in Wash
ington that he "would rather live in
Republican state, than in Democratic
territory" and he has not said word in
explanation of his land grant record, his
sales of sixty or seventy thousand acres
of the Canon de Chama land grant in Rio
Arriba county and his claims to vast por-
tons OF the Mexican land grants, the Ojo
Caliente and Ceneguilla, in Taos and

ton fails, ust as sure will congress as
sumo control of New Mexico and regulate
affairs here to suit itself. This will be
humilitating, but what else can be expect
ed; should our people, by opposing this
excellent constitution give it out to the
world that they are unable to manage
their own affairs? Heed well the situa-

in the constitution, and what have they
accomplished? Every honest objection
they have suggested has been fully met

it is TACT that the constitution of the

than has this instrument. The sore-heads
want it beaten and can offer nothing in

ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOB STATEHOOD.

When the apportionment of the differ
ent amounts for the surveys Of public
lands were being made to the different
states and territories by the commissioner
of the general land office, one of the dele
cation from New Mexico to Washington
was present. The two senators from the
state of Washington appeared and re-
quested that the pportionments as made
be shown them. The commissioner
said the amounts were made as
usual, and began to read; "New
Mexico, $4,000; Washington, 100000"
"stop right there" said one OF the sem
ators. "That was the amount given
Washington when it was territory, now
we want you to put down SAC. 900 for
