quarrel brewing between these gentle

STANDARD Office. Meanwhile, we must
wait until the public knows how the
Miner is proposing to relate itself to
Mr.. Hauser.
1t strikes us that the only struggle
involving men in the politics of Mon
tana is that which concerns the wrong
done in the count of the tunnel pre-
cinct vote; and we fancy that the
united democratic leadership in the
state holds that view.

Final papers i'm behalf Of the demo-
cratic senatorial contestants have been
filed with the proper committee of the
federal senate. The statement of facts
answers all the points dishonesty sub
mitted a few days ago by Colonel San
ders, although, to the public i'm Mon
tana, no new phase of the case p
brought out i'm this latest contribution
TO the literature of the fight. 1t can
be said, at least, that the two demo-
Gratis who vent to Washington have
done all in their power to get the cas-
properly presented before the commit
tee and the senate's members. As
everybody knows. we believe that they
are to he unfairly counted out i'm the
end-the republican senate is evidently
disposed to be strictly partisan, and
there's no helping it. The fight will
thus be left where il started, and, by
and by, it will be for the people to
settle it when, at a general election,
every vote last will mean either ap-
prevail or condemnation of the conduct
Of the commissioners who threw out
the HOmestake tunnel vote.

ATTENDING TO MR.. HAuseR.

II our morning contemporary in
Butte concludes to follow out its pro-
gramme announced yesterday, its read
ers will be favored this morning with
the story of what the Miner knows
about Mr.. Sam Hauser, who hitherto
has been known as a star performer at
the rival establishment over in Main
street. Mr.. Hauser is evidently a
reigning favorite in the Butte offices.
A good many weeks ago. the STAND
ARD had something tn say about Mr..
Hauser. when the report was current
that he was keeping democrats out of
caucus His action was promptly con-
demned by this newspaper II in fact
Mr.. Hauser soon gave up an undertake
ing which was simply a foolish and un-
fair piece of business on his part from
first to last. If there is any fun or
comfort to be derived from the atten-
tion which the Miner proposes to pay
to Mr.. Hauser. we shall be ready to fol
low the details with absorbing interest.

WAITING FOR MR.. BALDWIN.

1t is not as smooth sailing as it might
be for the incOrporators of the proposed
electric railway i'm Butte. In behalf of
the city the franchise asked for the
new road was cheerfully granted and
the general sentiment appeared to be
that the line would be n good thing for
the town. But the members of the
county board are pausing, and il is now
not clear that the incorporatOrs will Sc
CURE the right of way they have asked
for.
The matter appears to turn on the
decision of County Attorney Baldwin.
IL is that gentleman's first business to
use every precautiOn in guarding every
public interest involved in the point at
issue. lie certainly is not called upon
TO grant any favors To the electric road
builders, on the contrary, it Is his func-
ton to see that nothing is granted to u
private corporation whereby. now or
hereafter, any public rights are imper-
lied. The proposed franchise has been
several weeks i'm the hands of the
county attorney I'M the railroad peo-
pie appear to be somewhat impatient
over the delay.
As we understand il, Mr.. Baldwin
suggests no particular change Of items
in the proposed franchise. Rather, he
questions the right of the commission
ers to make any grant at all. From
the reports of meetings of the commits
sioners it is not easy to get an exact
expression of Mr.. Baldwin's views OIL
his reasons for advising against the
granting of the franchise. lie may be
entirely i'm the right in the position Inc
takes in this matter, although his
views, as thus far given, will be rated
As a decided novelty. If, in the end
the commissioners refuse the franchise
the railroad people will be forced Il
begin condemnation proceedings anG
thus acquire their right of way through
tedious processes in court.

The Goose Gets the Sauce.

From the Chicago Times.
Pennsylvania has always been N protcc-
ZIONIST state, both democrats and republic
rams seeming to vie with each other in
praise Of "thc American system.' Yet,
despite high tariff and p~rcsumable pros
perity, stories of hardship and suffering
come from the coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania that show that, however good pro-
lection may be for the owners of mines
and factories, the men who do the work
have not as yet partaken of it's benefits.
If protection is good for the minc-owner
and manufacturers il ought also to bc good
for the laborer, yet the stronger the mon
opolies grow the less chance labor has in
dealing with them, a fact the Pennsyl.
vania miners and workmen are learning
slowly in the costly school of experience.
