TO do something that will indicate
some measure Of confidence in the ad-
ministration.
1t is an uphill fight in which the
friends of free coinage are engaged,
but they realized that the campaign
would test their patience when they
enlisted. When account is taken of
the fearful odds they have always
faced, it can be said that they have
made an encouraging showing in
every serious encounter. The con-
spicuous weakness of the struggle has
been in the failure of several silver
constituencies in the Northwest to
keep at all times in congress members
who were willing to be loyal to the
cause. Men in the leadership, like
Jones and Teller, have been obliged to
dlstrust and finally TO rate as enemies

Montana and Wyoming and Washing

AS to Armenia.

1t is interesting to note the progress
of events in Europe regarding the Ar
menian question. Some weeks ago,
when the first news was given out con-
cerning the horrible outrages com
mitted upon the Christians IN
Turkeys Asia Minor provinces, the
sublime porte quietly ignored the de-
mand for an investigation. The Eng
lish press and the English politicians
displayed a disposition to pass over the
affair as trivial matter into which no
foreign government had any right to
inquire. AS the details of the brutali-
ties committed by the sultan's soldiers
and servants became known, most of
the nations of Europe joined in a de-
mand that an investigation be made
and the responsible parties punished.
The sultan haughtily refused to en-
tertain the request. Within a month
public opinion became so crystalllzed
upon the subject, however, that the
Turkish monarch, recognizing the
danger that surrounded him, granted
permission for an inquiry, reserving
to himself the right of naming the in
quisitors. Up to this point England
had stood on the side of the porte;
now Great Britain is at the head of
the nations demanding a full and i'm
partial investigation of the whole
struggle which resulted, as the reports
have il, in the sacrifice of fifteen
thousand lives in Armenia.
The plan of the porte to send out a
commission of investigation with
strings attached will be unpopular
and will not be accepted. In the end
an unbiased and Independent inquiry
will be made; the first TO claim the
credit resulting therefrom, if any there
be, will be Great Britain. That's the
kind of foreign policy she pursues.
Meantime the situation, in so far as
Armenia is concerned, daily grows
more interesting

Looking After Silver.

At the convention lately held in St.
Louis, the friends of free coinage
named an executive committee whose
members are TO meet IN Washington a
few days hence 10 take into consldera-
tion the policy which shall henceforth
be pursued. Hon Thomas q. Merrill
of this state is member of that COM
mittee and he Will probably be in
Washington to take part in the work
of the committee.
Senator Jones IS chairman of this
committee, and that is a fortunate
arrangement, since he is not only a
master Of the silver question on its
merits but is also senator of long
experience and a man who is safe in
counsel respecting the policy which IL
is best Tor the advocates of free coin
age 20 follow.
On all accounts the cause Of silver
ought 20 take courage IN view Of the
condition IN which the opposition

the citidels OF those by whose authorit v,
influence and command vice flourishes,
honest government is destroyed, and the
community is made a spot of shame"
Therefore, when public sentiment was
sufficiently RECONSIDERATION testimony had
been heaped on testimony and the awful
skeleton had been exposed-there was
need of executive qualities of the highest
order, the wisdom of which distinguishes
craftsmanship; capacity for handling
groups of men who, while having a COM
mon object, incline to seek it by diverse
ways and thereby jeopardise it; and be-
yond that even, the skill and strategy of
the politician, who depends somewhat
upon the expediency, and very greatly
upon organization.
1t was in the way he met these new de-
mands on him that DIR. Parkhurst made
the fullest revelation of his extraordinary
intellectual power. His purpose was
moral. He aimed to overthrow, and to
overthrow permanently, political sys-
tenn, which had made the administration
of the city's affairs left-handed partner
ship with vice and crime-an admnistra-
ton Tor spoils. In the arguments, the
consultations, and the other work which
the achievement of this aim involved, he
showed an intellectual capacity which
now even the greatest OF the politicians of
New York cheerfully admit would have
made him, had he chosen politics or pub
lie life as his vocation, preeminent.,

AT Two Miles a Minute.

When first the steam railroad was
proposed with a promised speed of
eighteen miles an hour, trained engin-
GERS and practical mechanics were
ready with their objection. In Eng
land, and everywhere, in fact, the pro-
ject was admitted to be good enough
on paper, but altogether too wild for
any practical purpose.
Take account of what has happened
and how brief the time is in which it
all has happened. Recall the fact that
Gladstone, alive and well to-day, was
twenty years old when Robert Stephen
sons first locomotive went into regu-
lar service. That was the Rocket"
it was the marvel of its day. 1t drew
an average gross load of forty tons at
speed of thirteen miles an hour.
How marvellous the attainmeHts of
sixty years
Two miles a minute is the speed now
proposed by a company lately organ
lied and which is before congress
asking for a charter This company
proposes to build from New York to
Washington. The plan Is for an ele-
waited road, with electricity for the
motive power 1t is to be provided
with one or more side rails TO prevent
deraIlment, and is TO carry passengers
and mails and freight. 1t guarantees

Many congressman look with dis

who introduced the bill providing for a
charter insists that the scheme is pro-
posed in complete good faith and he
gives the names of well-known and
much-esteemed men who wish to pro-
mote 1t. And, indeed, will any news
paper risk the reputation of its files by
declaring to-day that a speed of a
hundred and twenty miles an hour for
the ordinary traveller is not to be at
tanned?
Most of us who live in these parts
have so much time that we are not
caring to try the Homestake pass or

of speed. Yet 1t would be a Jolly

Getting Ready For Work.

The cutting and fitting incident TO
senatorial ambition, TO legislation, to
appointments and to the running of
the political machine at Helena be-
gins to-day. There is much serious
work before the Legislature in what re-
lates TO home rule and domestic con-
Germs, but it is apparent that the busi-
ness at the capital will spin around
the senatorships until the two seats
within the gift of the state have been
disposed Of
There were some tough republicans
in the last legislature. They sold out
at an hour when they might have
assured one of their own party the ap-
pointment as senator. They voted for a
democrat, and they made themselves
the scandal of the state They took
their whirl then and there, they were
not out last November for endorse
ment and an election for another
term
If in the membership of this legisla-
ture are republicans who, following the
precedent of two years ago, propose to
stand out TO the end for the purpose
of getting the utmost possible profit,
then the contest over the senatorship
will be prolonged, as the rivalry is
sharp. There are several candidates
whom a money campaign can wear
out, for the reason that they haven't
the money wherewith to stay in the
game. The legislature appears to be
just about up TO the average in make
up; there are those who say that it is
rather better than the Legislature Of
lS93-and that is not praise.
But If the purpose is to send the
best available men to Washington and
to choose them in disregard of sordid
considerations, then there is no reason
why the actual strength of the rival
candidates may not be tested in two
or three rounds of balloting, leaving
the whole subject to be disposed of
with dispatch.
The code ana its proposed amend
ments, the appropriations, the policy
of the legislature respecting new
counties, the appointments and the
purpose of the members in regard TO
many matters-these are of more or
less concern, but they will remain in
the background, unless a protracted
contest over the senatorships makes a
bargain and sale business of every
item incident TO the sessions work.

The Worlds Oldest Man.

The Oldest man in the world, it
is said, is citizen of Bogota, in
the Republic of San Salvador. He
declares that he is IS6 years old,
but from the tales his neighbors
and relatives tell he is much older
than he claims to be.
isHe is a half breed Indian and
Spaniard, and his name is Michael
Siles. He lives with an old plant
er named Louis Hernandez, who
is himself So years of age. Her
nandez says that as long ago as he
can remember old Michael was
known as man past the century
mark. 1t has been also ascertain
ed direct from the records that
zone Michael Silos, a man now
I25 years of age" contributed ten
days work toward building the
franciscan convent which was
erected at San Sebastian in 1872.
If it is really true that the old pa
triarch was I25 years old in 1872,
he has now passed the second cen
fury mile post and is fast winding
on the first decade Of the third.
Doctors who have lately made
study Of the case of this double
centenarian say that there is not
an ounce of meat on his bones ant
that the skin, which resembles
parchment, is drawn SO tightly
over his frame that it cannot be
pinched up between thumb ano
finger He is unable to walk, bu
has good hearing and sound eye
sight and a large crop of perfect,
snow white hair and beard. st
