OUR WASHINGTON BUDGET
POSITION OF THIS GOVERNMENT
IN REGARD To rHECUBIAN
REVOLUTION.
Democratic Prospects In Maryland.

October 8, 1895.
"Lots of senseless twaddle is be-
ing INDUCED in about Cuba. by
men who ought to know better"
remarked a gentleman prominently
connected with the administration.
zone might suppose from the con-
tents OF the newspapers that it was
merely a question of sympathy as
to the position maintained by the
administration. AS matter of
fact sympathy is not factor. The
government is controlled by inter-
national law and prudence. For
this govern ment to recognize the
government which the Cuban rev.
olutionists have established on pa
per, but which has as yet neither
location nor habtntion, would be
equivalent to declaring war against
Spain for the purlo se Of aiding
Cuba to gain its independence, or
to opening orr Treasury to de-
mands for indemnity which Spain
could and would make upon us if
we kept our hands of and the re.
volt was put down. If we assumed
the right to openly assist Cuba we
should probably find ourselves in
volved in war with more power
full opponents than Spain. When
Cuba sets up and maintains an in
dependent government, rs did the
Central American colonies of Spain,
at the time the famous Monroe
doctrine was promulgated, will oe
time enough for this government
to recognize her independence. 1t
is simply nonsense to talk of recog.
nizing what does not exist, just be-
cause we sympathize with what is
sought to be established. Govern
ments cannot be run on that basis.
England had much better grounds
for recognizing the belligerency of
the Southern Confederacy, which
had armies. navy and an estab-
lished government, and yet an in
ternational court of arbitration
made England pay dearly for that
recognition, in the hard cash that
went to pay the Alabama claims.
Had the Southern Confederacy sue
ceeded those claims would not have
had to be paid"

Commissioner of Pensions, whose

Murphy said 81 cannot under
stand how the disaffected Demo
Gratis can reconcile themselves to
the position they have taken. They
seem to think that if they let the
Republicans win this year they can
GUST them next year. They cannot
do anything of the kind. A Re-
publican victory this fall means
that the states will be in the hands
of that party for years. If the reg
ular Democracy is defeated this
year does anyone believe that next
year the tail will wag The dog and
the regulars, who are in large
majority, will go to work to help

sense to rely upon such situation.
No, sir; the Democrats if they want
to control Maryland, mustnot let it
go out of their grasp this year."

Burned to Death.

\ fearful calamit, occurred six
miles east of kalispell on Tuesday
night. John Reid, hired hand on
the farm of Malcolm Mccormick,
went out to the stable to feed the
horses about eight o'clock, carrying
a lantern. He set the lantern down
in the stable to 90 to the granary,
and while gone the lantern in some
unaccountable way set fire to the
stable, in which were eight head of
horses. He rushed in to cut the
horses loose. About this time Nc
Cormick's boy discovered the fire
and rushed to the stable, the interior
of which was solid mass of flames
Two horses rushed out covered with
fire. Young Mccormick called to
Reid but received no response. TO
rescue him was impossible owing to
the fire, which ragged fast and furious
the stable being constructed of poles
and straw. As soon AS the fire was
over, Reid was found within five feet
of the door, on his hands and knees,
his face buried inside of one of the
horses. Reid had worked about the
valley about year He was a ma
tive Of Bavaria and about thirty
years old. Gne OF the rescued horses
was immediately shot and the other
cannot live, making a total loss of
eight horses.

English Press Comment.

The London Globe, in discussing
the decision of the Supreme court of
the United States as to the constitu-
tionality of the income tax, says:
''Everv man in this country will
regret that there is no supreme court
of the American variety here. New
er in all the long history of the Eng
lish bench have they scared to the
height of liberty reached by the
American judges recently. 1t is
quite impossible to establish such a
tribunal here
The st. James Gazette comments
on the supreme court decision in a
similar tone, and adds: s'No one has
suggested this august tribunal can
be bribed in the manner familiar to
litioants in some inferior courts of
the Union. Still it is significant the
politics of the various Judges are
carefully mentioned in the Dispatch

About Lost Mines.

Butte Inter Mountain: For forty
years adventurous spirits have been
sacrificing time, means and some
times life in searching for fabulous
'.lost gold mines," and in spite of
the fact that after all this sacrifice
not one of these mythical discoveries
has been relocated, men are still
pursuing that willo'-the- wisp. 1t
is more fascinating than perpetual
motion, and quite as elusive, says
the SpokesmanRev
The stories are nothing more than
old-time yarns spun long ago by ro-
mancers and dreamers around
Pickering campfres, and discussed
in barrooms from Yuba to the Iu-
kon.
Men with leisure, means and in
clinatlon to pursue these phantoms
into the depths of the wilderness
would better occupy their time and
spend their resources in searching
for mines that never were discover
ed. Since miners began to discuss
the "blue bucket diggings,, and
the ''lost cabin placers," and walk,
ers cement ledge" thousands of pay
ing properties have been discovered
that were never lost. The truth is
that these elusive treasure spots are
like the ''miner's daughter Clemen
tine they are ''lost and gone for
ever" and search for them is a.
hopeless as the search for Jule'
Verne's mythical screen ray" or thu
fabled fountain of youth.

''Coin's Financial School has

that DIR. Otto Arendt, whom he in
terviewed on the subject of bimctal-

knew more about the subject in
America than they did in Europe.
At the same time he showed the
correspondent an American work,

Score One For Dubois.

Senator Dubois of Idaho, denies
the report that the silver men of the
West intend to establish a paper in
New York to represent their great
interest. He does not regard it as
at all necessary, for literature favor
ing silver is already circulating in
the East, and Senator Dubois ventur
es the assertion that seven out of ten
men in New York State are in favor
of silver. THIS is IA bold assertion
but the New York papers do not de-
ny it. They are beginning to under
stand that the bankers syndicate
that dictated to Secretary Carlisle

new Government bonds, cannot die

THEY CAUGHT A SUCKER.
A Montana Stockman Falls Among
the Eastern Philistines.

P. 7. Showers, prominent stock
man, of Montana, left St. Paul for
home Monday night, after some rath-
er costly experience. He had been
to Chicago, where he sold some cat
tie, and sent most of the proceeds
home. On his way to St. Paul he
formed the acquaintance of very
nice, sociable young man on the
train On arrival here in the young
mans company, Showers was warn
ed against his companion by one of
the depot officials, but he angrily
called the official names and depart
ed in the sociable young gentleman's
company. A few hours later he was
out cunning for that companion,
who had s'follished" him out of $3.50.
That night Showers fell in with an
other young man, who took him
around among institutions of shady
repute, the result being that Show
lers was done up to the extent of
s1S5 more. The unhappy stockman
telegraphed home for money and, on
receiving it, left for Montana after
evincing disposition to Kill off a
few St. Paul residents to get even.

The End Is Near.

Billings Gazette: The United
States supreme court, after weeks Of
weary waiting, has passed upon the
question Of the validity of the income
tax, and like other democratic meas
ures, it turns out to be class legisla-
ton of the rankest description. With
four Judges dissenting, Justice Jack
son being absent, it is held that the
law is constitutional in general terms
but that incomes arising from real
estate or state, county and municipal
bonds are exempt from taxation. In
other words, the worker who earns
in excess of 81, 900 per year through
his own ability must pay the tax.
while the drone, enjoying probably
ten times the income, invests his
capital in real estate or bonds anc
escapes taxation. The new income
tax law thut turns out to be another
evidence of democratic incompetency
and Legislation against the masse:
and in favor Of the classes. But
what else could be expected from
this bond-issuing, debt-burdening
gold bug administration? 1t is one
gigantic blunder from beginning tc
end, but, thank God, the end is ap
preaching and will be final.
