party, it is said, will probably consist of
Senator Morgan, Congressman John M.
Allen of Mississippi, Governor Black,
who is president Of the National Associ-
alton of Democratic clubs; James
Kerr, chief clerk of the house
of representatives; Honorable Law
renee Gardner, secretary of the
Democratic congressional committee,
who is also secretary OF the National
Association Of Democratic clubs; Hon.
w. r. Meyers, late secretary of state in
Indiana, and Edwin Seton, stenogra-
pher OF the Democratic congressional
committee.
The subjects on which Senator Nor
gan and his party propose to take ad.
vanced ground in their speeches in this
trip are the early construction OF the
Nicaraguan canal az an American enter
prise, backed by the government; the
internal improvement OF. rivers and
waterways; maintenance by the Demo.
cratic party Of the enlightened, pro.
gressive policy formulated by Thomas
Jefferson, which was maintained by all
his democratic successors down to and
including Thomas +. Bayard; and
fourth, bimetallism-the money of the
constitution--gold and silver"
Such a campaign at this time would
have a good effect, and there is no rea-
son why it should not be carried out.
II no other good resulted, it would con
vince the men OF the west that Grover
Cleveland ia not the democratic party,
and his policy is not nor never has been
democratic policy.

the amount is recovered and the road
captured the people will not be a penny
IN GOLD.

The Associated Press dispatch from
New York relative to an alleged conspir-
acy on the part of the Morgan Rotbs-
child syndicate to create a corner in
gold must have some foundation in fact.
But whether it be true or false the fact
that such a scheme is possible is a mat
ter for serious reflection. 1t may be
that the report is a bluff on the part of
the money kings to scare the people by
a threat of another panic that they are
in position to create at will. Still more
Infamous than the threat or the an
nouncement is the cold fact stated with
out any equivocation that the finances
of the United States are at the mercy of
this syndicate; that they can at any mo-
ment dep]ete the treasury of It's gold and
compel the administration to Is.
sue more bonds which, under the
forms of an ironclad contract, they,
and thoy alone can purchase
The clause of the contract giving this
option to the syndicate is news, and is
more infamous than the previous out
rageous deal by which the president and
Secretary Carlisle in secret sold the
bond issue to these men at figures which
permitted them to make millions, and
which lessened the credit of the United
States government. 1t is a sorry affair,
yet, in spite of the fact that the presi-
dent in his ignorance of financial mat
tiers fell into the trap set for him, he
now has the temerity to set himself up
as Il prophet III economics, and is writ
ing a book on the subject and at tho
same time locturing the people upon the
necessity of sound money He is do
ing more than this. In his zeal to serve
the cause Of the goldbugs be is prosti-
tuting his position and using
all the influence that the patronage
at his disposal gives to compel
federal Office holders to aid him in his
crusade against the will and the right
eous demand of the people for relief.
| What the outcome will be is hardly a
question of doubt, for the people will
win, but it is remarkable that the presi-
dent is ready to sacrifice his self respect,
go back on his record and s%tultify him
self in a cause 80 inherently wrong. He
is as desperate as is Wall street, and has
gone 80 far that he will not hesitate to
take any step, no matter how radical, to
still further serve those to whom he has
pledged obedience. There IS no doubt
but that gold mono metallism has be-
come a mania With him; he is welded to
his idol, and will continue to do all the
harm he can. In the meantime the
people are also having an inning and
when election day arrives they will with
their votes show that they, not presi-
dents, dictate the policy of the United
States.

In the attitude that he has assumed
on the financial question President Cleve-
land has certainly placed himself il a
pocket, go to speak. From his entrance
into public life in a high position he has
steadfastly maintained in words the
principle of civil service in it's generic
sense. In other words he has declared
that fitness not political preferences
should govern appointments to and re-
tention in federal positions. This is
what he said, but fever a man negatived
his words by his acts it has been the
president. lie used every influence that
he possessed as the appointive power to
secure the repeal Of the purchasing clause
OF the Sherman law, and went further,
the Wilson tariff law. Whether he was
right or wrong does not 0 enter into
the question. Ia his battle with the
representatives Of the people he assumed
a virtual dictatorship, and made it ap
parent that any congressman, no matter
what the feeling OF his constituents, who
differed with him would feel the weight
OF administration wrath. Congress ire
niged" in both cases, but Grover has
carried out his threat. No matter how
long he has been a democrat every man
either in public or private life, who dared
to oppose Mr.. Cleveland, either on the
financial OIL tariff issue, has been oetra-
cised. His name ia Dennis
On the other hand, the president has
taken especial pains to declare that
those who think az he does, and attempt
to carry out his policy, or the policy
that he is foolish enough to assume ia
his, are exempt from the rules OF the
high standard that he marked out. A
case in point is that OF Postmaster
IIesing Of Chicago, who, echoing tbs
sentiments Of the president, announces
that the financial question is not a 20
~litical issue, and that every fedora
Office holder has the right, and it is hi
duty, to champion the cause OF gold. J.
ie a poor rule that will not work both
ways. Mr.. Cleveland did, up to a certai.
period, insist that the right Of individua
judgment was inherent in every Ameri

The supreme court of the state OF
Montana has just rendered d unanimous
opinion that folly accords with common
sense and which will have a far reaching
effect. The immediate case at issue ia of
no special concern save to the PARTIES lit
igant, but the decision in it's ultimate re.
suits covers a broad field. Pursuant to
law the state furnishing board called for
bids for tho printing of the codes, and
though a Helena firm was the lowest
bidder the contract was awarded to the
Butte Inter Mountain. The Helena firm
filed a bond for the faithful performance
Of the work, but at the opening of the
bids or subsequent thereto an investiga-
ton WAS held az to its capacity to do the
work, ard the board reached the conclu-
sion that its facilities were not sufficient
and awarded the work to d higher bid
dor who it was satisfied could carry out
the contract to the letter. Thereupon a
mandatory proceeding was instituted be.
fore the supreme court to change the
award: and it has terminated as above
stated. The decision is in effect that
officials are in such matters
vested with Il discretionary power
which they are bound to exercise.
The law applicable to this special case
says, "all contracts shall be awarded by
said board to the lowest responsible bid
der" and in it's review the court holds
that it is the duty OF the board to deter
mine the responsibility and decide in it's
award rs to how the public interests will
be best subserved.
The rule as thus laid down will go far
beyond the state furnishing board, and
will be a guide for all officials, especially
county commissioners, in the award of
county printing. The law governing
county printing does not even require
bids, but provides that it shall be let to
such newspaper az the board believes
will render the bcst service to the pub
lie, This naturally means the paper Of
the best general circulation throughout
the county. The law fixes a maximum
price that ia about the same or q little
less than the rate charged for CON-
mercial advertising, but it happens that
in many counties cheap papers, in some
instances established only for the pur-
pose OF securing the county work, have
bid far below the rates and have thus
secured the contract to the exclusion OF
responsible and well-circulated journals.
This is manifestly wrong. II the pro-
ceedings Of the commissioned are worth
publishing they should be published in
a paper that reaches the MASS OF the
people and paid for at the same rates
that a merchant pays for his advertise
ment. This is only a business propo.
sition and il the decision Of the supreme
court will lead county commissioners t.
realize what "diecretion" means it viii
! be a good thing for all concerned.

The silver convention to be held at
Salt Lake, composed of delegates from
the western and coast states. bids fair to
be an important gathering. One thing
that can be said in it's favor is that the
delegates will represent the sentiment of
the masses OF the communities in which
they live to a greater extent than will
the delegates to the bankers convention
that is to be held in Memphis. The lat
ter will voice the sentiments of Wal
street, not OF the voters.

Grover Cleveland feel sick. 1t is a no.
tice that the democrats Of Illinois-the

be they presidents or senators. 1t
means, further, for the convention
named is but the prelude OF others to
follow, that the financial resolution OF
ths democratic national convention will
be plain and positive upon the subject
OF silver, and the man who is nominated
upon it will be one who will carry the
policy INTO effect and not sell out to the
bankers az Mr.. Cleveland has done. The
battle will be fought on the lG to l ratio,
and that motto will be on the democratic
banner.

In the adoption of the law creating
police commissioners it was the intent Of
the Legislature to remove police depart
ments from the influence of polltice, and
make the tenure Of officers during good
behavior. by this means, and only by
this, can Montana cities ever expect 70
have the proper class Of policemen. II
positions on the force are to be a reward
for political services, and changeahIe
each year, no member will feel called
upon to attempt to make a record, and
serve the public by doing his whole
duty. "A pulp not merit got him the
job and will retain him in it. The sys.
tenn is an injustice to both the men and
the people, and should be changed to
conform to the spirit of the law. In
Butte there is an evidence Of the evil
effect OF changing the police force each
year. There are in that city th~irty-tive
officers, but at the meeting of the COM
mission it was decided to reappoint
fourteen, and discharge twenty-one to
make room for new appointees No
charges were preferred against any of
the men dismissed, they were simply
dropped in order that partisans might
be rewarded. This is a poor way to in
crease the morale and maintain disci-
pline in a police force. Sooner or later
a radical change will be made, but
Mayor Thompson could have made his
administration noted from the start had
he instituted this much needed reform.

EIKlNS CALLED DOWN.

Senator Steve iIikins of West Virginia
must have received notice from lead
quarters that hr cannot be a republican
and a silver man; that the two PROPOSE
tions are Incompatible. Only d few days
ago he proclaimed that he was in favor
of free coinage at Il ratio of lG to |.
Since then someone has put a flea in his
ear. for on his arrival at Colorado We'd
needny he changed his tune materially.
He o says that rrpublicanism must
take precedence Of silver, and even
though the silver men be in control of
the national convention they must con-
promise and concede something TO the
gold men. This Of course means Il cow
ardly straddle and a consequent sur
render. Colorado is a bad place to pro-
claim tbs doctrine of compromise. 1t is
a republican state but it is a silver state.
Both the senators have declared that
with them the cause of silver is para
mount to party fealty, and that if the
line is drawn they will stand by silver
and let the party take care OF itself.
This they will have to DO for so sure AS a
republican convention is held so sure
will it have a meaningless plank or de,
clare for gold. What are the Montana
republicans going to do about it?

Justice Brown Of the United States
district court of New York is another
gentleman who rakes the law over with
a fine toothed comb in order to discover
a crack by which the plain tenets OF a
statute can be evaded. lie is the judge
before whom Coils p. Huntington OF
the Southern Pacific was taken when a
requisition was sent to New York ask
ing that he be sent to California to be
tried under an indictment for violating
the interstate law. The di-
rect otfenee charged against Huntington
was that he issued a free pass in viola
ton OF the law. The court held that
there WAS nothing to snow that the pass
or ticket issued had ever been used, and
that the Indictment WAS fatally defective
in not averring that any transportation
was ever furnished under it. This must
be the law, for the court says hat it is.
but it looks like d very small hole to
crawl out of.

The defalcation and suicide of the city
treasurer Of Butte has created much
comment throughout the state. Sad ae
is the affair it is an object lesson that
should MOI be without results. 1t seems
increditable that the fiduciary officer of
any large city could carry on large
populations during Il series of years with
out being detected. A system which
permits such an oifense is az much at
fault as the official. The handling of
public money is attended to a greater Or
loss extent with temptation, and those
who handle it should be protected from
themselves. A plan of periodical exam
nations OF accounts and cash, rigidly
enforced, would meet the case. Such a
mode would be just to both the treas
urer and the people.

BUTTE AND RAILIsOA IDS.

Ia a pigny effort to belittle the Great
Northern the Railway Review of Butte
speaking OF a proposed Union depot in
that city says: 1T ls understood that
the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
are favorably disposed toward the enter
prise, and that the Great Northern and
Butte, Anaconda Il Pacific are the
stumbling blockt' in the way of the
enterprise 1t will be noticed that it is
only 'understood,' that the two roads
are favorably, but if the Review will
search iia memory it will cali up the
stubborn fact that the Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific were for years unro
!cutiIy t~yrants aver @liutte's commerce
and selfish opponents Of its progress.
With that bastard production known AS
the Montana MON, and the Utah
Northern, they held the people by the
throat and made them stand and de-
liver. The building Of half d dozen
dcpots cannot make amends for the
n Just treatment they have visited upon
Butte. II however, the corpOrativn- are

them make fair rates for Butte freighta.
