THE outlook for Democracy is improv.
ing every day, barring the dispute as to
the free coinage OF silver, which, so far
as the party Is concerned, Ia only q
family matter that will be satisfactorily
adjusted when the national convention
meets next year. Six months ago the
prospects were dark for the party. The
Republicans had swept the country.
Business was parslyzed. Want was
everywhere and the financial situation
deplorable. Now prosperity is return
ing, industries are opening up and
wages Of workmen are substantially in
creaslng. The new tariff Is working
we'll; expenditures are less than re-
ceipts, and the deficit in the Treasury is
no longer source of annoyance or
alarm. Republicans have ceased to
claim that they will swamp the Demo-
cratic party at the next national cleo
ton, and already realize in the rapid
change for the better in the affairs OF
the country, that the people will place
the responsibility for the panic and late
business depression where Is Justly be-
longs. There is every reason for Dem
ocrats to be hopeful and aggressive.

THE people OF Venezuels, according
to Congressman Livingston, of Georgia,
love the United States, but hate Eng.
land. The reason they love this coun-
try is because they expect Americans
to take their part in their boundary dis
pute with Great Britain. They are de-
termined not to yield any further to
English aggression. and as the latter
country is apparently in no mood to
surrender any portion of it's claim, the
United States will, before long, have an
opportunity to show just how far it will
20 in defence of the Monroe doctrine.
Recent events have made this country
much more popular than formerly
in South America, where for
many years English influence was
predominant. The action of the Ameri-
can government during the Brazilian
insurrection tended greatly towards
strengthening its influence. and its
effort to preserve the peace between
Mexico and Guatemala Is also appre-
ciated by the weak republics Of the
South. which see in this country bull
wark against aggression In any direc-
ton. The Corinto affair has also in
creased the respect of our, Spanish.
American sisters for us, and with the
attitude OF the government in the
Venezuelan matter, it Is not at oil
strange shat the people there should
stand by the United States. This is
all very we'll il we are to maintain the
position we have assumed. II not, only
humiliation will be our portion.

ELECTRICITY.

One of the recent achievements of en-
cheering skill is the construction of an
electrical plant by which the water of
Niagara falls is to be utilized. 1t was a
gigantic undertaking and has been sue
cessfully accomplished. The press of
the east has been p~rofuse in it's com
ments and this from the Philadelphia
Times is a fair sample:
"The starting of the great electrical
plant ut Niagara this week may be said
to open a new epoch in human progress"
said Emile Berliner. the famous cleo
~trician, yesterday. Power is to be fur
nished from the falls eventually at all
desired points within a radius of 100
miles. 1t will light the city of Buffalo
and | should not be at all surprised if at
a future day New YORK city were illu-
minated by its means Water power
will certainly be employed before long
on an immense scale for the production
of electricity. Switzerland, for exam
PIE, has unlimited water power. Twenty
wears hence all of the electricity utilized
il that country will be obtained without
burning any fuel"
In New York the Harvesting Of the
waters of Niagara IS no doubt an event OF
much significance. To the people OF
Great Falls it is of but little moment
Mighty as is Niagara, its power for util'
ity pales when compared with that of the
Missouri river At this point. From this
city for a distance of twenty miles there
is not Il foot of water that is not suscept'
ible of being utilized for the purposes Of
electric power. The cap city of the eX
isting plant at Black Eagle falls we dc
not kno S., but competent authorities by
actual measurement figure that at thu
Rainbow falls works can be constructed
that will generate 10000 horse power
Beside this we have the Great falls left
to gay nothing Of the intermediate por
tons Of the river, and let it he remein
bered that in the distance Of twelve
miles there il a fall of more than JO(
feet. We are not at all jealous of Mag
ara. Our can discount hers

ment Of capital and it viii bring a large
return to the investor. Hasten the da..

And now comes the Anaconda Stand
ard with unwarranted assumption
to take a hand in the pending water
controversy. 1t is true the Standard has
a few subscribers in this city, but that
does not give it a license to interfere in
our local affairs. In the main it's edi-
torial comment on the subject has not
much force and would pass %unnoticed,
we're it not that in summing up it seeks
to place one party to the controversy III
a false light. 1t takes the unWarranted
ground that Mr.. Phelps has been playing
double in saying that up to a few days
ago the company did not want to sell
and then makes fun of the statement OF
the gentleman that shut for this foolish,
ness the company would have expended
$4,000 this year" The Standard does
not understand the situation. For soy
eral years there has been a continual! harp
ing at the water company and a demand
on the part OF many that the city shoull
acquire tho plant. This eentimen
seemed to have crystallized during tn
last few monthe; it WAS taken up ant
discussed in the council and at Il publi
meeting of citizens. Naturally the com
paay was not willing to make any larg
expenditures during the unsettled con
dition of tho subject. 1t simply aske'
that the matter be submitted TO the tax
payers in order that it could be deiinital

During the controversy the mayor de-
clined to sit with the board or assist in
its organization. This failure on his part
was one of the points brought to the at
tentlon of the court. The ruling was,
that the voluntary absence OF any olil-
cial cut no figure. 1t was his duty to be
present, and his failure to do so could
not jeopardize the public interests. This
appears to be a common-sense view OF
the case and will be accepted as good
law by all right thinking men.

Dakota, against the Homestake Mining
Co. for 100000. the value of timber
alleged to have been illegally cut in the

The case will no doubt be a celebrated

the New York republican state conven-
ton that has just adjourned at Saratoga
formally presented the name Of Gov
Morton before the party as a candidate
and pledged him the support Of the del.
egates in the convention. There is q
deep rooted suspicion in many quarters
that the convention was only giving the
governor "tatfy" with the object of hav-
ing him tap his well-tlled barrel
during the primaries that must
be held. The state convention
vas dominated by Tom Plat, and, un.
less he has recently changed his opinion,
he does not consider Mr.. Morton an
available man. He may have been con-
vinced to the contrary, but that remains
to be seen. The best informed men in
the republican party have figured out
that "boss' Plat of New York and
'boss" Quay Of Pennsylvania have en-
tered into an alliance to squelch Harri-
son, and that Allison Of Iowa has been
selected as the instrument. The two
"bosses" expect tocontrol the delegations
from their respective states, and their
recent successes in manipulating gives
color to the belief that they will. These
two delegations, united and working in
harmony, will be an important factor in
the convention. Still there will be ample
On%pOrtunities for other combinations
and the majority may take a notion that
they do not intend to be dictated to, and
the result will be the overthrow of the
bosses. With the New York endorse.
ment of Morton it can be said that the
canvass is fairly on and that from now
until convention times the movements
Of the politicians will be watched with
interest.
