TIE var between Japan and China
promises to be a holly contested af-
fair, as either nation seems to have
much advantage over the other-the
Japs defeating the Chinese in one
battle and the latter defeating the
Japs in another. OF course the
Chinese are far superior in numbers,
but on the other hand the japanese
are a more civilized nation and far
better accomplished in the arts of
war-showing much better general
ship and also better equipped than the
Chinese. 1t is a very difficult matter
to say which side will come out vic
torious. Some of the late dispatches
from Shanghai says the japanese are
landing troops by the thousands to
the northward of Taku with the in
t%ention of marching upon Pekin.
Another report says the japanese
have succeeded in landing 10000
men on the banks of the Yalu river,
separating Corea from China and
thus cut off the supplies Of a large
army which the Chinese have sent
down the Corean peninsula. Unless
the great powers of the world take a
hand IN the matter and adjust the
difficulties between these nations it
is liable to be one of the longest wars
in the history of the world-as they
have not yet got fairly started.
If it continues, however, it will mean
a great deal for the United States,
and especially the western and silver
producing portion, as they will need
our silver to pay off their soldiers as
we'll as our beef, wheat and wool te
cloth and feed them. The Mon.
golians are far too numerous in thi.
world, anyway, SO let the good worl
90 on!

On the 25th inst will occur the
state convention of the great IN
washed and already a be heard the
sizzling of the elements as the fires of
dissention begin to sizzle. The con-
vention wants to endorse the admin
istration, and it don't want to endorse
the administration. It wants to en-
dorse Bob. Smith, and it don't want
to endorse Bob. Smith. Editor Ly-
man went last week to see President
Cleveland about the matter and the
report of his visit is awaited with
breathless interest.

A Great Silver Program.

Senator Don Cameron was nomi-
mated in the republican league in
Denver for president, and the nomi-
nation was carried by reclamation.
The Times-Sun of Denver, thereupon,
hoisted his name at the head of its
columns as republican candidate for
president in 1895. Its correspond
ent in Washington has been inter-
viewing senators, and SenatorsShoup,
Quay, Pettigrew, Dubois, Jones of
Nevada, and Gallinger of New
Hampshire all speak in the warmest
approval of the nomination. The
Don Cameron Republican club of
Park City proposed that the repub-
lican clubs throughout the vest and
south shall unite upon a silver plank
and if possible, agree upon a can
didate and to press the claims of
silver in a body before the owen
ton in '96. 1t looks to us like
sensible work. 1t looks as though
it would be a winning card, and we
think if the democratic clubs would
do the anne thing and bring the
same pressure to bear upon their
convention in '96 that we should see
a silver president inaugurated on the
4th of March, 1897. In that way
republicans and democrats would
hold their places in their old parties.
They would not be wandering off on
a tangent and have the doors of their
respective conventions slammed in
their faces. When the new tariff
law takes effect the result will be a
little livening up of business. Man
ufacturers will go to work to fill the
needed orders for winter, but no
permanent prosperity can come of it;
no advance in prices, no general
good to the country, and when the
holidays shall have passed the coun-
try will realize that something else
is the matter, and will turn to silver
with more interest than it has for
several years.-Salt Lake Tribune.

HARTMAN has made a record of
answering devotion to Montana's
interests. He is the first represent
tative of Montana against whom no
word of blame may be brought.
People who howl themselves hoarse
in favor of Smith, say not one word
against the work of Mr.. Hartman.
This fact is the more notable since
General Warner, the earnest devotee
of s%ilver's cause and president of the
American Bimetallic league says of
him:
Your representative from Montana has
done noble work for silver and did his
duty faithfully.
The populists claim General War
ner as their own, and the above
statement from him is therefore the
more significant.

fair renown of Montana.

fair OF Montana.
1t can not be said that Anaconda
has contributed to any considerable
extent to the advancement of the in
dustrial enterprises of Montana be-
yond its own limits, while Helena, as
has been abundantly demonstrated,
possesses both the readiness and
ability to assist any worthy project
that can forward the growth and
material progress of the state as a
whole. The ability and character OF
many of her citizens, and their
prominence and activity in public
affairs renders her an influential
factor in the Legislation and admin
istration of the state, and the indi-
viduals and communities that mani
fest their friendship now may be as.
sured that she will not be founc
wanting in gratitude when the op.
p%ortunity is offered her to recipro
cate.

The place for the state capital is
where the people want it. The Helena
people are right in saying that the voters
of Montana can not be bought 10 vote
for any town that their good sense does
not approve of; but they might add that
the Anaconda committee know this lust
as well as anybody and are not attempt
ing to influence the voters of the state in
any way, except by the use of all logical
arguments. Knowing that Anaconda
has the best of these, and is gaining
votes by their use every day, Helena is
trying to account for this remarkable in
crease of favorable sentiment toward
Anaconda by the cry of "boodle." 1t
will not work. The people of Montana
know what Helena's reputation has been
in the past, and they can but make
mlrth of her present claims of purity
from these things that have made her a
disgrace to the state in the past.-Nei-
hart Herald.
We desire to state for the benefit
of our readers and especially the
editor of the Philipsburg Mail that
the above, taken from that organ,
never appeared in the columns of the
HERALD. The esteemed editor of
the Mail will please be a little more
careful in the future how he credits
his clippings. If we eve want to
see the state capital removed from
the old and permanent city of Hell.

we would prefer to have it a little
more centrally located than is
Anaconda, where old Marcus, by the
single word, "quit," can make the
grass grow in every street in the
village.

SENATOR PETER is reported a
saying that "Mr. Cleveland had but
II leading idea when he entered
national politics and that has been
lost" The Kansas Populist also re-
marked:
The presidents utilization with finan-
cial interests has decreased his influence
as a public man. He will pass away
from the public stage. The democratic
party will 500 be disbanded. Its life
is about run. Grover Cleveland will
pass away with it. In twenty-five years
it will be seen that nothing in Mr.. Clev-
Glands public career made any real i'm.
preston on the history of his country.

The Livingston Herald, all right
on the capital question, but strangely
misguided in its political tendencies,
is content to size up the situation as
follows:
The country may we'll rejoice and be
glad. The new tariff bill became a law
Monday night and congress adjourned
yesterday. Now comes an era of great
prosperity to the people of the United
States, which will increase in a
ratio corresponding with the decrease of
the power conferred upon the rich by
the protective tariff.
We have yet to hear the rejoicing.
We have yet to e signs of pros
perity. The democratic-populist
tariff measure is not even satisfactory
to its creators. 1t is a relic of broken
faith on the part of it's enthusiastic
advocates. "We'll kill the sugar
trust" was one of the prominent
cries of both democrats and populists
two years ago. But they have all
bowed down to Bail and put protec-
ton upon articles of daily consump-
ton, which the Mckinley law adj
mitted free. But the Herald, with
the eye of faith sees IN era of howl
ing prosperity which will begin some
time next week. We cry for this
power and cry aloud, 90, Lord, in.
crease our faith"

PROBABLY CRUSHED By ICE.

The Steamer Containing the wellmau
Party Is Missing.
LONDON, July ia dispatch to The
Times from Tromsoe, in the north OF
Norway, says that the yacht Saide Of
the Royal yacht squadron touched at
Danes Island, on the northwest coast OF
Spitzbergen, on July Q. The yachts
men found on the island Professor
Oyen, the geologist, who was left there
by the American polar expedition under
Walter Wellman to await their return
and to guard the depot established on
the island. Nothing had been heard of
the expedition since their steamer, the
Ragnvald Jarl, left Danes Island. The
Saide started on search for her, but
found all the routes blocked by ice.
The yacht met an experienced walrus
hunter Captain Johanneson coming
from the northwest It was his opin-
ion that the Ragnvald Jarl
Had Bees Isesst by Ice.
and crushed. Other hunters were met,
but none Of them had seen the steamer
east of Bergen Hook. The Saide left
some supplies with the professor. He
declined to return with the yacht. as
he was pledged to Mr.. Wellman to
guard the depot until the Ragnvald
Jarl returned. He had for company
only one dog. He feared that the sup
plies would be inadequate for the ex-
petition on its return. There were only
enough meat and -four for eight men
for six months. Captain Johanneson
intends to search for the Wellman ex-
pedition northwest from Spitzbergen
when the ice permits. In any case he
will bring Professor Oyen back.

lowing being promulgated:
