WEDNESDAY, APRIL "a. 1895.

The situation in oil regions must re.
mind the old timers in Pennsylvania
of the days of che early boom in that
product. The rise in price is said to
have precipitated a torrent OF pros
pectors and spectators into the oil
country and old wells are being opened
by the hundred. The Boston 1'rGUeler
thinks that If the rise is, as some
suspect, an artificial thing, the result
will be the loss of much money and
time by those who can i'll afford to
lose either. II not, IL it is result of
a real falling off in the supply, men
will be reminded again that they know
next to nothing of what it is or what
is the ultimate source of supply, and
no more of what is likely to be the re-
suit of the drain of vast quantities of
material from the earth's interior.

Silver and the Parties.

mo STANDARD grieves deeply over what 1t
callsi republican hostility to silver and fears
that iniso6 the goldbugs will control the repub-
itan convention; it ignores entirely the posi-
ton OF the democratic party leaders and the
democratic congress for the past two years and
their absolute refusal every day during the last
congress to enact a silver bill. worse case OF
the pot calling the kettle black was never re-
corded In history Butte Inter Mountain.
The STANDARD has repeatedly and
consistently, in season and out of sea-
son, expressed its indignation at the
the attitude of the present admins
tration towards silver. In everything
relating to the currency question, the
course of President Cleveland and the
Fifty-third congress, which was under
the presidents thumb, is not to be ex-
cused or extenuated. But it is prop
osition which is more and more be-
coming self-evident that Mr.. Cleve-
land and his aiders and abettors in the
last congress do not and have not, as
regards silver, represent the senti-
ments of the vast majority Of the
democratic party. The revolt in the
party against Cleveland's republican
financial policy is so plain and open
and determined and is assuming such
bold and aggressive form that even
the Inter Mountain can see ii with
half an eye; and it is because it does
see IL that our esteemed republican
contemporary in Butte is anxious to
make it appear that the democratic
party has no more use for silver than
the republican. The calling of
democratic state convention in
Illinois at which the democracy of
that great state proposes to place it.
self on record as demanding the free
coinage Of silver, is indicative of the
real sentiments of the great mass of
democrats in the East as we'll as in
the West and South.
The STANDARD does not pr etend to
say that all democrats are silver men
or that all republicans are goldbugs.
Only we believe that the goldbugs of

lion that is going on in the democratic
party against Clevelandism and mono

A WHITE HOUSE EXPECTATION.

What Rumor Says VIII Happen in the
Presidsnt's Family.
Correspondence of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The gossips In
govern mental and society circles are busy
with q very sweet morsel of news. II 10
nothing less than an expected and ma
tional interesting event to occur in Presi-
dent Cleveland's household.
The cabinet ladies who have been on
terms of great intimacy at the white
house have known for some time that the
stork had selected the chimney Of that
historic mansion for its nesting place.
They have been exchanging condolences
and have offered congratulations to Mrs.
Cleveland. As confirmatory OF the
rumors which have from time to time
leaked out Of those high official circles,
the family physician, DR.. Bryant, has
made frequent visits to this city. He was
reported to have been at Woodley to-day,
and 1t Is known that he was there within
the past week. His frequent trips here
from New York lead to the belief that the
event so much talked of at afternoon teas
and where ladies do congregate, 10 very
close at hand.
1t is very distasteful to the president
and his wife, to have their affairs made
the subject of public gossip, but the truth
of the prediction that June roses will
bloom for a brand new member OF the
Cleveland family, is not denied. Some OF
the more discerning of the gossips declare
that April beauties, or at least May bios.
SONS, can be heaped upon the little
strangers crib. 81.
The early move of the president and his
family to Woodley is known to have been
taken for the purpose of insuring more
privacy and quiet to Mrs. Cleveland. In
the retirement of that rural home, Mrs.
Cleveland can be as exclusive as she
pleases, without being confined to the
four walls of her house. The move was
not made for the purpose of getting the
country air, as that article is of too raw
and chilly character just now to be en- :
ticing.
Those who are disposed to attach ma
tional Importance to this event are Of the
opinion that the family will re-enter the
white house before long. 1t was within
its historic walls that little Esther Cleve-
land first saw the light of day.

And so the ladies have won the day
in New York That is to say they
have won from the legislature what
the state constitutional convention re-
fused to grant them. BY a vote of
twenty to five the senate has pas sed
the resolution submitting to the pe ople
constitutional amendment giving wo-
men the right of suffrage The reso-
luton had already passed the lower
house. This must be conceded most
important victory for the advocates Of
woman suffrage. Some of the senators
who voted for the resolution were op-
posed to woman's suffrage but favored
the resolution in the hope and expec-
tation that the people will defeat it for
ever "and keep woman in the sphere of
home, where she belongs" The VIC
tory of the women therefore may not
be as substantial as would a ppear on
the surface, for the advocates Of wo-
mans suffrage will have yet to run the
gauntlet before they can really indulge
in any reliable hope for future success

And now the supreme court Is evenly
divided on the question of a rehearing
on the income tax question, and has
set May 9 as a day when arguments
will be heard, full bench being ex-
pected by that time. Had Judge Jack
son been well the court would not
have broken evenly on the income tax,
and all this trouble would have been
avoided. Judge Jackson was APP
pointed by President Harrison in the
closing hours of the last administra-
tion. He is i'll and his usefulness on
the bench is not likely to return. The
last congress proposed scheme to re-
tire him upon a full salary, although
he has not reached the 20 years age
limit. The republicans in congress
steadily opposed 1t because his retire
ment would give President Cleveland
an opportunity TO name his successor.
The effect of this republican obstruc'
tion is seen in court evenly divided
on one of the most important ques-
tions brought before it in a decade.

Yesterdays Celebration.

The weather and everything else
contributed to make the celebration
of St. Georges day in Butte completely
successful The programme arranged
for the occasion was an attractive and
interesting one, and all who partici-
pated in the festivities of the day en-
joyed it and felt its influence to be
good and wholesome. Celebrations
like that of yesterday can evoke moth
ing but hearty admiration.
We don't know much very much
about ST. George except that about
the year 303 the emperor Diocletian
cut of his head for being a good Chris
tian and good man. Some years
later the Christian church made him a
saint, a position he has since occupied
with distinguished ability. As the
patron saint of England, the sons and
daughters of that country, be they
never so far removed from the land of
their nativity, delight to show him

In the parade yesterday nothing was

The celebration of s.. Georges day
by the English-Americans of this

triotic demonstrations and renewed
pledges of loyalty to the United States
on the part of those sons of old Eng

their condition. The speeches Of yes

Peace In the Orient.

The proclamation of peace issued by
the emperor of japan is In the right
vein. While 1t breathes spirit of
triumph, 1t is couched In moderate
and conservative language, and the
emperor's counsels to the Japanese
people to improve and perfect their
civilization are wise and in every way
admirable japan is a rising nation.
In the Orient she easily stands at the
front in arms, in progress and in hui
manity. Her war with China showed
the stuff she is made of. 1t was
fight where great numbers and brute
strength were pitted against skill and
knowledge. The Japanese have long
been people of refined tastes and pro-
gressive characteristics. The Chinese
on the contrary have been self-satisiied
and unprogressive to degree.
Time was, centuries ago, when the
Chinese led other nations in the arts
and sciences, but for ages they have
regarded their knowledge and achieve
ments as self-sufiicient. they have shut
themselves up fancying they were still
In the van, while other nations long
ago passed them in civilization and all
that contributes to make life worth
living. In particular they despised
Japan. The signal defeat they have
experienced at the hands of neighbor
for whom they felt and expressed only
unbounded contempt, may wake them
up to a realizing sense of their glaring
deficiencies. In this sense the war
