FROM every quarter q Montana comes
the wondering exclamation that Sanders
has lost his hold on the people Of the
state. Even rabid republicans find his
deliverances fat, stale and Improbable.
Enthusiasm fails to light at his ap.
proach. The venerable deposits Of back
numberism are crowding fast over what
remains of the Montans war horse. The
truth is that Washington has spoiled
him as the useful hack Of his party. His
visit to the capitol was new experience
to the honorable and gallant colonel.
He discovered to hls surprise that, in the
senate, accusations Of cowardice, lying and
folly were not banded across the cham
Der as the only argumental ammunition
To him that kind Of grape-shot had al
ways seemed the most effective Of politi-
cal argument. It had brought down
republican houses in Montana by the
score, and yet in Washington men heard
his vehement charges with uplifted eye
-brows and undisguised surprise. The
colonel has had the saddest OF all exper
fences. In his old age he has lost faith
in his former weapons, and the new are
strange and unfamiliar. Put him on the
shelf

CAN THIS BE TRUES

A Charge that the Presidents Son II Per-
mitted t. Violate the Lottery Law.
Yesterday affidavit was. made against
Capt. J. Pinckney Smith. business man.
aGer Of the States, for alleged violation Of
the anti-lottery law, says the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat.
The question that naturally arises, how
ever, IL whether the law ia to be equally On
forced. or enforced only against democratic
or southern papers. The offense on which
the affidavit against the States was based
occurred moro than two weeks ago; yester-
day the mails brought in copies Of Frank
Leslie's, still containing the advertisement
Of the German Lottery, Of which We have
already spoken. This advertisement, which
is in direct violation Of the anti
lottery law, has been published in
every number Of Frank Lsslie's since the
act was passed. The law has been violated
several hundred thousand times by this
republican journal, boldly, openly, and de-
family broken. Mr.. Russell Harrison,
owner Of Frank Leslie's, has apparently
come to the conclusion that the federal
authorities are not going to disturb the
presidents son, and that he can publish an
advertisement for which other men are
subject to arrest and punishment.
Does Russell Harrison enjoy special priv
iieges different from other members Of the
community Have we privileged class in
this country, consisting OF the presidents
family, authorized to violate the law with
impunity7 The only conclusion is tina. the
new law is to be unequally and sectionally
enforced, just a. we thought. to be used
only in suppressinR democratic and south
ern papers, and never against republican
journal, especially when it is run by the
presidents son.
The postal authorities cannot plead igno7
rance in the Frank Leslie case. The vio-
lation Of the law IN the advertisement has
been called to their attention; there can be-
no doubt as to the character Of the adver7
tisement-it speaks for itself-but nothing
has been done to call the law breakers to
account. The postal authorities are appar-
emily too busy preparing affidavits against
the States to notice Russell Harrison's re-
peated violations of the law.
Does Inspector Sullivan or Postmaster
Eaton dare to make an affidavit against
President Harrison's son? If not, then do
they dare assert that he 10 above the law?

WHY HE BRACED UP.

Mr.. Carter having confessed that he
would not have stood by the other west
ern republicans in opposition to McKin-
ley's gag resolution, on the day he was
paired with Mr.. Bostner, that part Of
the controversy may be considered
closed. The republican organs now fall
back on Carter's vote for free coinage
two day later ss showing that he was
sound on the main question. We are
willing to give Mr.. Carter all the credit
to which he is entitled for finally being
right, even though it was too late the
save the cause Nh. Csrter's fatal pair
was ON Thursday, June 5. The next
two days were days Of anxiety and doubt
in the silver camps OF Montana. Our
miners were at loss to understand the
failure of our representative in Wash
ington to appear in the fore front of the
fight for free coinage on Thursday. The
press dispatches had brought the news
that the republican representatives
from Colorado, California, Nevada and
Oregon had voted against the Mckinley
proposition, but Csrter's name was not
on the roll of honor. Later tidings were
to the effect that the man with whom
Carter had paired was free coinage
democrat. The silver men who were
watching the fight in Washington tele-
graphed to their friends in Montana
that Carter was weak and weakening
and that splints we're needed for his
backbone Mr.. Carters friends rallied.
They wired him, and to good effect, too.
Here is specimen telegram that went
from Butte:
Hon. T. H. Carter. House Of Representa-
tives. Washington. D. C.:-You must stand
by the silver interests. Declare against
bullion redemption. We will hold You re-
sponsible for your vote in this matter.

Backed by these representative mine
owners, republicans and democrats, and
by other stirring appeals of like ma
ture, Mr.. Carter voted at last for free
coinage, but the death blow had been
struck two days before.
The fight for free coinage is not yet
over. 1t will be renewed in the next
congress, but Montana will not be rep
resented in that body by man who has
to be watched and wired" by a man
who looks upon Thomas B. Reed as q
superior being and who will vote at his
dictation against the interests of this
state.
