our political waters would rejoice to
be taken in on the presidential line at
any time.
Nevertheless, 1t was Mr.. Cleveland's
second term in the white house which
proved his undoing He returned to
Washington the idol of his party, the
trusted representative of all classes of
American citizens His policy has
been inexplicable; contemptuous dis
regard for the great party which
elected him; scandalous i'll usage of
the faithful friends who gave him his
greatness; his suspicious and seclusiye
methods in all matters relating to the
administrations policy; his rash de-
termination to do just what his party
associates did not want him to do; his
determined efforts to coerce congress
and the country into accepting a
financial policy which is abhorrent to
a vast majority of the people-these
are some of the causes of President
Cleveland's failure. There is no deny
ing it, he is very unpopular to-day.
In large measure the president has
himself to blame. 1t is true the re-
publicans left him hopeless situation;
the finances of the country were IN
deplorable condition, the clouds of the
approaching storm of disaster already
darkened the commercial horizon. Mr..
Cleveland's case may be therefore, in
some respects, but another of the
melancholy illustrations of the vanity
of popular acclaim and position. "The
hero of to-day is the scapegoat of to-
morrow" and the fruits of the toll of
years of cautious building may be
blasted by any fitful breeze of popular
fancy or indignation. And yet, we
take it that Hon. Chauncey NJ Depew
would willingly accept all of Mr..
Cleveland's unpopularity for permits
sion to occupy his Office.

There's truth in the remark of

Another Bill Knocked Out.

The people of this commonwealth
can develop all the Christian virtues,
be orderly and prosperous, and still
give a man a chance to take a bath
and get shaved on Sundays. There
was before the legislature bill pro-
viding for the Sunday closing of barber
shops IL went to the committee on
public morals; it was reported back to
the senate without recommendation.
Probably that ends il, and, as il seems
to us, that is the right way to dispose of
the business-the wonder is that the
house passed the bill If there are bar
bers In the state who want their Sundays
off, all they have to do is to shut up
shop on that day; the law need not
order those to quit who do not care to.
If the bill originated with the BARRIERS,
then it ought not to have gone TO the
committee on public morals but to the
committee on labor, and then the
whole question of Sunday toll could
have been taken up.
Sunday observance is deplorably
short of what it ought to be in most
parts of Montana. Many mining
properties are operated seven days in
the week whereas, without losses
due to the interruption of work,
many of them might relieve
the day shift at least from Sum
day service. Hundreds of saloons
have their doors wide open on Sunday,
in irreverent disregard of the day. In
many other lines, business goes ahead
on Sundays just the same as on other
days We expect to see moral re-
form in this matter. The change may
come at so slow pace as TO be almost
unnoticed 1t is sure TO come, how
ever; yet we do not believe that the
enactment into law of the bill that has
been before the Legislature would has
ten its coming
If, as we have said, the bill was
one that ought properly to have gone
10 the committee on labor, it was in
the nature of special legislation hardly
warranted, especially in view of the
fact that IL made a Sunday exception
in the case of a comparatively small
number Of men, insurlng them a re-
spite which toilers in other fields can
not claim under the law. But if a
moral impulse was behind the barber
bill, then 1t had no merit because, for
morality's sake, the law should ex-
tend its operation or its shelter with
out discrimination TO all men in what
ever occupation they happen TO be
engaged.

Makes Pure Blood

That is why the Cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are permanent. They do
not rest upon the insecure support of
temporary stimulant, opiate or nerve a
compound, but upon the solid founda-
ton of vitalized, enriched and purified
blood. Read this:

Those Ruins Once More.

Historic ruins in Montana have
furnished theme for waysde talk in
which the Spokane ReoieIC and this
newspaper have lately had a little
share. The contention of the ReUieLO
is that Fort Benton is the only historic
ruin in Montana. The STANDARD
held that this view is not right.
Now comes the Butte Miner with
good-natured assistance for the
STANDARDS side of the case Says
our Broadway contemporary: "That
is very interesting and the ReUie1C has
demonstrated its familiarity with GER
tain chapters in Montana history, but
when its says that Fort Benton is the
only historic ruin in Montana, 1t be-
trays a lamentable lack of informa-
ton and the STANDARD does we'll in
calling attention to its fragrant error
That Fort Benton is historic ruin is
true, but it is not the only one. There
is certain brilliant finish that must
not be overlooked"
So IL is; so 1t is. Anaconda lost the
capital fight. Yet the brilliant finish
in question hardly answers the de-
scription of an historic ruin; TO our
notion it is more in the nature of a
total wreck-it goes into the archives
along with the moss-covered senatorial
hope that lies at the bottom of the
Miners cistern.
Well, the best way is TO take il as it
runs, the good and bad; enjoying the
sweet when it happens to come your
way and bearing the bitter without a
murmur. That's the Anaconda plan.

The Truth Hurts.

In Chicago the other day Prof. e.
w. Bemis of the University of Chi
cago, a man of strong convictions and
ready tongue, spoke in denunciation
of trusts and monopolies and he was
particularly severe in dealing with the
actions of certain railroads. The prin-
cipal officer of one of these railroads
was present and challenged Professor
Bemis, at the close of his address, to
prove his assertions. This the profess
sor did promptly and in style, and the
railroad magnate was discomftted.
The upshot of it is that the railroad
has secured demand from the uni
versity for the resignation of the gen.
tleman who dared to speak. the truth
in matter of great public import
ance. Much surprise has been ex-
pressed at this decision of the faculty,
and it has raised question whether
the University of Chicago is free to dis
cuss public questions in the fulllight of
truth, or is obliged to hedge on points
which might censure the financial pro-
moters of its welfare.
If in fact the building up of this
university means that its professors
are not to teach and speak the truth
in matters which are of vital interest
to the nation, the enthusiasm of
those who have lent their capital and
influence in its upbuilding will be
greatly modified.

going away without telling them where
he was going or what he intended to do
while gone, also reached a conclusion.
This conclusion is best stated in the st.
Paul Dispatch, and briefly summed up
is in effect that instead OF going to Eng
land to secure control of the Northern
Pacific, the real object Of Mr.. Hills visit
was to retain the control Of the Great
Northern, which ia seriously threatened.
la explanation of this the paper states
that Mr.. Hill does not own = controlling
interest in the Great Northern, but such
interest is owned by Mr.. Hill jointly
with Sir Donald Smith of Canada,
who represents certain Canadian bond
holders. That from tia inception Of the
road to Il recent period Sir Donald had
stood by Mr.. Hill, but that now he had
abandoned him aud entered into a deal
with the Vanderbilt system, which, with
Smiths aid, was about to secure control
of tho Great Northern and thus secure a
coveted and needed line from the Atlantic
to tho Pacific.
This is d plausible theory, for the Van.
derbilts need such d line badly and it is
reasonable to believe that they would
attempt to get one, but the question
arises, why didn't they go after the
Northern Pacific, which is in the market,
unless Hill and Willard are in position to
control it? This has been their chance.
On the other hand, and as against the
st, Paul sensation, it is admitted that
the Canadian people by their represent
ative have always stood 10y Mr.. Hill,
though be has several times been
assaulted by strong combinations. That
Mr.. Hill has powerful enemies is
not denied, but that he has thus far cir
cumvented them is equally certain. and
as his friends have stood with him in the
past there is 10 app irent reason why
they should not continue to do SO. The
road and its management ar in as good
condition today as ever and self interest,
if no other motive, would suggest that
the stockholders stand by the man who
has pulled it through. The situation is
peculiar and has opened d good field for
guessing, but The TRIBUNE is of the
opinion that Mr.. Hill will retain the con
troll of the Great Northern and secure
that Of the Northern Pacific if he so de-

ton in the nature OF a check upon

cause for complaint. While he may be-
Iieve that the gentlemen he has named

tirely, and are the best men for the
places, there is no good reason why he
should quarrel with the aldermen who
differ with him, or not concede to them

ALL AT SEA.

According to Il dispatch published in
another column J.. j. Hill. the railroad
magnate, arrived at and departed from
New York for England without his
movements or his destination being
know. Wall street ia supposed to
know a thing or two, ana when the news
leaked out that the gentleman had taken
passage on the Etruria III a most mystic
rious manner and with a gentleman
