Mr.. Watterson says that he has been
in Washington two weeks and that ne
has vet to meet single Cleveland man
who does not admit privately to him
that their favorite if nominated cannot
be elected. 1t should be borne in MIND
that this statement comes from gen.
tleman who was more frequently seen In
the sa,ae proscenium box at the opera
with the ex-president when that gentle
man occupied the White House than
any other visitor to Washington, and
who retains all his old personal liking
for Mr.. Cleveland. 1t may be asked
why these men, believing defeat newt
able under Mr.. Cleveland's leadership,
countenence the demand for his noml-
nation. Mr.. Watterson answers the
question very frankly. Ee says that 1t
is from sheer cowardice, and that there
is a species of Cleveland idolatry in GER
tain portions of the Democracy, which
many members of congress in both
houses are afraid to antagonize. His
final outgiving is as follows:
MY mind can reach no other conciu-
sion than the foregoing, from all that l
have seen and heard both in New York
and in Washington. ! send them to the
Courier-J Journal as matter OF duty. Its
readers can accept them as true, or false,
lust as they please. They are at least
disinterested. want nothing whatever
of the Democratic party, and from DEM
ocrats only the belief, which hope that
twenty-five years of hard and honest
service have earned me, that am fairly
intelligent and unprejudiced observer OF
public affairs, and that would not, to
cave nv own lie, willfully lie to mislead
those whose confidence is dearer to me
than life. I have nothing but respect
and regard for Mr.. Cleveland. 1 have
NO alternative in the shape of any indi-
viaual preference to offer. l simply
want to see the party win this pre6iden-
tiai election, and / think we can win it
if we put our heads together, like men
of sense, to make ticket, antagonizing
none OF our warning elements, but unit
ing the party thoroughly in New York,
and everywhere else. In default of this,
can see nothing but defeat, the more
disgraeeiul because, ii we take lottery
chance in the New York factions, we
shall have rushed upon it with our eyes
wide open.
That there is growing up in the
United States species of man worship
no reasonably close observer of the
signs OF the times can doubt. 1t is
shown conspicuously in the case of Mr..
Cleveland in the Democratic and Mr..
Blaine in the Republican party. The
Democracy, we firmly believe, will show
in the coming national convention that
it is now, as in the past, in favor OF
measures, not men. 1t contains within
it's ranks statesmen OF character and
ability who stand in the line OF party
preferment, who deserve it and will re-
ceive it, and any one Of whom can lead
the party to success.

WE DENOUNCED in fitting terms yes
terday the outrage of tearing up Elev-
enth street by the gas company few
days after it had been graded, in order
to lay down pipes that ought to have
been put down before the street work
was commenced. We have since learned
that we were mistaken as to the COM
pany responsible for this deliberate
disregard of the rights of the taxpayers
on that street, and that it is the City
Water company that ought to be
censured instead of the gas corpora
tion. In this connection we would sug-
gest to the council that the corporations
that have the privilege of tearing up
our streets should be compelled to do SO
before work is commenced on streets
ordered to be graded or paved. Ii a
proper penalty were provided for such
violations, the exasperating practice
would cease. ~

WHEN an emperor ostentatiously, at 6
banquet, confers signal and unprece
dented honors on petty military officer
for shooting down an unotfendins elf
zen, and fatters him with eulogiatie
speech, the distance between the muir
murings of popular reprehension and
national revolt ought to be very limited
with high-spirited and liberty-loving
people. This is not an age in which
crowned cranks, or military despots can
violate the common sentiments of hu-
manity with impunity.

Ir Is inconceivable that there shou Id
be any difficulty about raising an afaple
fund to entertain the delegates to th e
national editorial convention when they
reach this city next Monday evening.
We can understand that there may be
some confusion of ideas amongst our
people about the value to US of the visit
on account Of the disappointment ex-
perienced by the visit of the so-called
Press association few months ago. It
was supposed by many that that associ-
alton was representative one of the
editors of the country, when, indeed
it only proved to be a junketing party
composed OF q few well known period
ical writers and large retinue OF
people who have no standing to
speak of it in the profession. But the
National Editorial association is an en-
tirely different body. 1t is made up OF
delegates who are actively conducting
newspapers all,over the United States
the people who have the ear OF the great
American public, and will convey to the
great mass OF readers in the United
States the story of our sections wonder
full advantages and remarkable progress.
We cannot afford to stint our hospitality
in receiving body like this. There is
no way in which we could spend the
few dollars required to decently enter
tain these delegates to greater advantage
to our city and section than in extend
ing extra courtesies to them. 1t is
like sending out nickels to bring in
twenty. dollar pieces.

IGNORANCE OF THE CHINESE EVIL

The Methodist conference that is in
session in Omaha is hardly supposed, as
| a body, to know much about questions
| outside Of the peculiar field OF observa
ton and study OF the msjarity of its
members. we are therefore not sur.
prised that the session lends its sane
ton to such declarations as the one ad-
vanced two days since about Chinese
exclusion legislation, and denouncing it
as unworthy of our civilization. If the
gentlemen who entertain these views
about denying domiciliation to Chinesee
had carefully observed the effect of con-
tact with this repulsive element
upon the morals of the American
cities which they have infested
for forty years in large numbers; or
were aware that they are dangerous
element in the communities in which
they live-making the laws a mockery
by their reckless perjury, and the courts
a vehicle to carry out their nefarious
traffic in human fesh--keeping up
system of the worst slavery in our midst
in spite OF all we can do-introducing
and disseminating amongst our youths
oriental vices unknown and unpracticed
by them before this debased people
came amongst ue--we say that If the
good bishps, ministers and laity of the
Methodist conference were fully aware
of these facts, they would hardly
subscribe to the doctrine that
we take an unchristian and unciv-
ilized stand when we try to
preserve our communities from the un-
restricted influx of such people. The
alarming spread OF the opium habit in
the United States-a far worse curse
than the liquor habit, 30 loudly in
Weighed against by this same conference
is due entirely to the presence of Chi
nese in our midst. The opium ha bit
was unknown to our people until the
Mongolian irruption upon the Pacific
coast, and we have the authority of
General John McComb, who was the
warden of both our state peniten-
tiaries for years, that the opium
habit is far greater factor in filling
our prisons with criminals than the
drink habit. If the father of family is
called upon to close his house to the
entrance of communicating influences, it
is surely the duty of the government 10
put stop to the immigration of a people
who have demoralized and debased the
communities in which they have domi
ciled themselves, made slaves OF their
women for the vilest purposes, and prog
tituted the laws and the courts of the
country, through their utter disregard
of the sanctity Of an oath. If it is
reflection upon American civilization
to close the doors of our country to such
a people, we could wish that the refiec-
ton might be intensified by carrying
out the principle OF exclusion otis logical
extent, and denying our country to the
ignorant and debased paupers and Grim
inals OF Europe that are now dumped
upon our shores by thousands. We
have done great injustice to our own
people by the lax way in which we have
administered our immigration laws.

THE MILITARY POST,

Col. W. Il. Sanders Accused of Delaying
the ; election OF site.
Helena Journals: Four weeks ago the
local committee was notified that the mill
tary board would proceed at once to Helena
to select a site for the posi-, and our citizens
congratulated themselves IN a speedy set
Element of this question and the early COM
menoenaent of work on Fort Harrison.
But the military board failed to reach
Helena, and no word was received a. to the
cause of the delay. exciting the keenest
anxiety on the part of our citizens as the
passed into weeks. Numerous rumors
we're circulated to the effect that real estate
deals figured in the matter and that politi-
cal schemes were behind it., rejecting an
injustice upon a committee that was con-
with zeal and ability. f.
To set at rest all idle speculation of this
character, and with a view 10 throwing some
light on a matter of absorbing interest to
the citizens of Helena, the Journal insti-
tuted an investigation, and IA the result OF
inquiries has received information from the
war department relative to the long delay
on the part of the visiting board. Our in
formation is to the effect hat their coming
was delayed. and action on the location OF
the post suspended at the personal request
Of Senator Sanders. The reasons, if any,
assigned for this request are not given, but
AZ the senator is now in the city he can
doubtless explain the matter fully and set
at rest the idle gossip which has proved en-
barrassinR to the local committee and been
such a fruitful source of anxiety to our cit-
izens.l .-. .
When the speedy coming of the military
board was announced four weeks ago, IL
was confidently hoped that the prompt &C.
lection of a site would make the %appropria-
ton available in the early autumn, SO that
before winter sets in substantial progress
would be made on the post. This was q
dssideratum ardently hoped for by both
lsborers and business men alike, for it
meant a contribution to the general pros
petity of the city. The delay of a month
will necessarily imply further delay at this
time, and although the site will shortly be
selected, it is not probable that much can
now be accomplished in the line of active
work on the grounds before snow flies.
However, The journal can assure the citi-
zens Of Helena that stops have been taken
relative to an early visit by the military
board and that little further delay need bs
anticipated. While this 10 cheering news
to the Journal, and will be gratefully re-
ceived by its readers in Helena this morn
ing, it will remain a matter of regret thst a
delay of four weeks has occurred until Sem
ator Sanders explains the public interests
that were served by suspending action in
the matter of locating the post. This he
will doubtless do to the satisfaction of all.

THE RESPONSIBILITY FIXED.

In another column we reproduce an
article from the Helena Journal which
states on authority that the commission
to select a site for the military post at
this city is held back by the unwarranted
interference OF Col. W. f. Sanders. THE
INDEPENDENT has been in possession Of
information of like tenor for some days
and has the best Of reasons for believing
the charge to be true. We have not
given publicity to the matter as we
could not believe that Secretary Elkins
wal the sort Of man to listen to the re-
quest OF any man who had private OF
political axes to grind, when such i'm
portant public interests were involved.
Had the measure been one which Mr..
Sanders had introduced, or in the pas
sage of which he had played an in
fuential or important part, the score
tary might have been warranted in
holding the commission back to await
offers OF the Sanders ranch, or to en-
able it's author to reach home and
parade as a public benefactor. But no
such reasons existed. There was no
more excuse for extending such an ex-
traordinary privilege to this man than
to any other man in Helena. We have
believed and still believe MI. Elkins
must have acted under transformation
as to the situation and that he will d.
rect the commission to come to Helena
as soon as the facts are laid before him.
Our citizens have lone their part we'll:
the offers of land are in proper shape;
the citizens committee has performed
its task impartlally, and now that the
hidden hand has been exposed, we may
confidently expect to encounter no fur
Their obstacles. Not from that hand at
least. AS to Sanders we leave him for
the present to the judgment of his fell
low citizens. At another time we may
have something to say about his con-
duct during the entire progress of the
movement which led to the establish
ment of the post. There are interesting
chapters yet to be told. Meantime, lay
all minor questions aside. On with the

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS,

There are some strong links in the
chain, but if as a whole it is no stronger
than it's weakest parts, the republican
county ticket is doomed to disaster. II
all the nominations had been as prais-
worthy as the first one made, it would
have been hard to beat. The worst
thing that can be said Of that excellent
gentleman and upright jurist, Judge
William H. Hunt, is that he is in very
bad company. He has a clean record
and deserved a better running mate.
But such are the fortunes of politics!
We do not suppose a serious effort will
be made to elect Mr.. Kinsley, except by
himself. He is a defeated candidate bv
predestination.
The denomination Of John Bean for
clerk of the district court, R. P. Barden
for treasurer, and J. S. Tooker for clcrk
and recorder, was in accordance with
party usage. They are all pleasant
gentlemen who have performed their
official duties satisfactorily, we believe,
but the great tide Of democracy that
will sweep over the country in Novem-
ber will engulf them and new men,
democrats fresh from the people, will
fill their places.
Of course the ticket wouldn't be a
ticket without a Sanders on it, and our
perennial, ~ever-blooming old candidate,
Junius G%ladiolus, is out this time for
sheriff. There is n great thing about
Junius Charlottesville never tires. AS
to whether the people will--well, the
early November frosts often nip the
hardest boomers! They will be killers
this year.
The legislative part of the ticket is
poorly done. Warren Gillette, the nom
inee for senator, is the strongest name
on it. He is an honorable man and a
good citizen, gone wrong politically, and
he will have to be defeated in order tc
get rid of Sanders and Power. The can.
didates for representatives are below
the average of past years. Howey is the
only che OF the old lot who secured a re.
nomination. Like Sanders he was run
ming for office when discovered by Lewie
and Clarke, and no way has been founc
of stopping him. He will be exhibited
as a discovery in political perpetua
motion at. the Worlds fair.

1T Is A VERY LIVE QUESTION.

Our valued contemporary, The Fort
Benton River Press, kindly quotes The
INDEPENDENTS statement that there
are Montana wool growers who say that
the WOO Of this state would not come in
competition with the Australian product
and asks for Our contemporary
shall be favored, and we assume that it
will agree when we say that Hon. John
A. Woodson, a representative in the
legislature and a representative citizen
of Meagher county is also q represent
alive wool grower. Mr.. Woodson's
interests in this industry have been
very large; he has been in the business
during the past ten years and is
thoroughly posted and we'll qualified to
discuss the subject of wool growing in
all its phases. Under these conditions
we therefore reproduce, for the educa-
ton of the esteemed River Press, por-
tions of a letter on the subject Of free
wool by Mr.. Woodson to THE ~INDEpEND-
ENT last winter.
Among other things he said:
I'VE often near tho question asked Can
we in Montana grow wool IN competition
with Australia" OF course l will confess
that ! do not think we can, for very many
reasons. But the more important question
to US presents itself, DO our Montans
woods come in competition directly with
those Of Australia or any other foreign
country" And 10 it not a fact that on
woods occupy a class to themselves? But
owing to their peculiar quality they are 40
