GEN. HORACE PORTER in an interview
in Washington says it would be a good
and glorious thing for the United States
to have a fight with Chill, or as he puts
it: "Patriotism becomes stagnant. by too
long an epoch of peace. 1t is getting
about time to open the temple of Janus
and let slip the dogs of war. ] rather
regret We did not administer a thrash
ing to Italy. True, she could have
turned loose her monster men-of-war on
our unprotected coasts, but We would
soon have sent them to the bottom with
torpedoes, and, raising them subse-
quently, would have the grandest lot OF
ironclads in the world"
That sort of talk is vicious, reckless
and barbarous. The United States
might be forced to punish Chill for out
RACES upon American citizens, but she
could gain no glory from a war upon E
petty, inferior power. We are a peace
loving and peace-pursuing people, big

The towns and cities Of the state but
reflect the prosperous condition of the
farms and ranges. The Rocky Mount
ain Husbandman says of the rural in
dustries:
The year 1891 has done wonders towards
reflling Montana's empty treasures and
the close of the year finds her people on a
good financial footing and the signs of the
times point to a year of brisk investment
and trade in 1892. It is a marvel that SO
much should have been accomplished in
one year, that such a fesling of security
and rest should evolve out of u year of such
a stormy beginning, with such a few cas-
ualties of q serious nature in a great state
like Montana and it certainly speaks VOL
umes for the resources of the state. Every
branch of rural pursuits has been a source
Of prosperity to those who follow them, at
least such has been the result of transac-
tions of the closing year and we certainly
think Montanians have great cause to feel
proud. Beef growing, wool and mutton
growing. horse growing, farming, dairying.
fruit growing and gardening have alike re-
eeived their reward and the promise is
Especially SOou y GA6 year W COIuo di1u
should as much unforeseen good in proper
ton come out of the new year the advance
ment would be so stupenduous that we dare
not relate it and if only the promises in
store are fulfilled by 1892 its close will be
upod a land of sunshine whose homes from
prinoely mansions to miners' cabin and
from city edifice to the rural cottage will
TEEN with prosperity and happiness.

inconsequential little republic.

From Butte, Missoula, Great Falls,
Bozeman, Livingston aud the other en-
terprising towns OF Montana come the
same story Helena haste tell Of reviving
prosperity and bright prospects. ne
other communities in tho west are SO
favorably situated as these young cities

rich in every material resource, centers

feeling that it has q great destiny.

not hatred or antagonism. Each is
proud Of the prosperity and growth OF
the others, and all have a common pur-
pose i'll making Montana the empire

spiciously for every section and every
interest Of this commonwealth.

The failure of Gov. Humphrey to ap-
point ingalls, as the successor OF the
late Senator Plumb will cause general
disappointment in the republican party
which misses the presence of the bril-
liant and audacious leader, and finds his
place poorly filled by the b~ewhiskered
PETER. Like PETER, Mr.. Perkins is a
second rate man, a great falling off from
the forcible. aggressive and able Plumb.

ment by defeat and death of her two

EATLROAD

WE have Of late made reference in
these columns to the urgent necessity OF
more railroads az a means OF developing
the mineral and other interests OF the
state. above all to the Importance OF
connecting the various districts with
the capital city.
Montana is now passing through its
formative period when events seem
ingly Of present slight Importance will
ultimately have vast influence in shap-
ing the destinies OF the growing com
munities.
While the location Of Helena and its
present Leading position as a railroad
center insures the growth OF a large
metropolis its business men cannot at
ford to let a single opportunity pass by,
which, unimproved, will yield to another
city the fruits properly their own.
We have been fortunate in securing
without subsidies direct connection
with three important systems which
have done much to dignity the city as
a distributing center, but what is now
most needed is a net work Of short local
roads to drain the products of the
mines and ranches into a place where
the multitudinous articles of necessity
may be quickly and economically pro-
cured.
The city Of Denver had at a similar
period in the history Of Colorado several
Aambitious and aggressive rivals, but the
1 construction of the Denver & Rio
harande system, with it's numerous
feeders, soon ended all competition.
There is now an opportunity to for
ever settle even the slight doubts as
to supremacy in Montana There is no
question but that if the Helena capital
lists energetically and at once proceed
with the construction of lines, one to
Castle, White Sulphur and Lewiston
and another to Columbia Falls, the i'm
petus thus gained will stimulate other
enterprises equally important.
This city will then become SO pre-
eminently the center that nc roads sub
s%equently built will dare to pass her by.
No time is so propitious as the present.
There is not a cloud in the financial sky.
The money centres are gorged with idle
funds soon to be seeking investments,
with the certainty that railroad bonds
will have the preference. The prize is
great. In the mere question Of real
estate values there is a possible gain OF
hundreds Of millions. How small in
comparison then Is the cost of the
needed roads, ever on the improbable
supposition that the entire investment
is permanently lost. ...-

The Western Star, of Coldwater,
Kansas, comes out squarely for the
Peoples party in its last issue. A
part of the reasons for this change
we copy below:
With this issue the Star comes out
SAuarely on the Peoples party plat
form. 1t has been thoroughly demo-
cratic from its infancy to the present
time. In our long fight against Re-
publicanism we have been honest, ear
nest and conscientious; we have sup
ported the Democratic party, believ-
ing it to be as near right as political
parties ever get to be, and believing it
to be the only party which had any
hope of making a successful fight
against the corrupt political rings
which now dominate state and ma
ton. We have always fought as a
hopeless minority, and during the
past two years we have seen that mi
nOrity fade into nothing; we have
seen a young political giant arise,
which has absorbed the best element
Of both the old parties in this state,
and is now making rapid Roadway in
the south and west. We believe it to
be our political duty to work and vote
for that party which stands the best
chance to overthrow our old enemy;
and we believe every Democratic vote
is just that much encouragement to
the Republican party.

The Crime Of the Age.
Denver News,

Denver News.
The demonstration of silver in
1873, which was accomplished secretly
and by criminal methods, was designed
to raise the unit of value, enhance ex-
listing obligations and depress the
prices of everything else. The pur-
pose was to aggrandize the income
and creditor classes of the world and
to practically COnfscate the reward of
the hard toll of the masses. 1t is the
interest of the annuity and money
lending classes to maintain a diSpar-
ity between the volume of the curren-
Cy and population and business.
A dearth of money has never failed
to increase the value of the money
unit and decrease the price of the
commodities for which that unit is
exchanged. This condition bears CD
preSSiyely upon the producer and con-
sumner. The former has to sell at I'M
femunerdL'Ye prices. vale the latter
is able to bay TlSpa.iacly ut any

"a social system which offers to
tender, virtuOuS and dependent wo-
men the alternative between prostitu-
ton and suicide as an escape from
beggary is organized crime, for which
some day unrelenting justice will de-
mand atonement and expiation."
Quoting this the other day to
prominent Republican at Geuda

has gone over to the calamity hOwlers
anyway" Upon being reminded
that Mr.. Ingalls,, the hero who has
been worShiped so deyOutly by Repub-
