ONE STEP FOR WARD.

New Mexico came out of the house
committee on territories in good form
the vote for the admission of the terri
tory was six to four. OF the six MEM
bers of the committee who were in ia
vor of admission, five are republicans,
of the four who voted in the negative,
one is a democrat. The voting MEM
bership of the committee includes no
congressman from a state west of Iowa.
Whatever the result in the commit
tee. New Mexico's immediate chances
for statehood are more than doubtful.
The republican control in the house of
representatives includes a strong ma
jority which asserts it's unwillingness
to open the doors of the senate to re-
cruits for the free-coinage forces. The
claims of New Mexico have been vigor-
ously presented; probably the conclu-
sion reached in the committee room
means that, in this matter, the house
would better be left with the response
bility
The natural inference is that the re-
suit reached in committee respecting
New Mexico means favorable action In
the case of Arizona; that states plea
was not pressed yesterday.

Pennsylvania-the West will take care
of it's own.
We suggest that Senator Mantle hand
to these critics a page of yesterday
mornings Standard on which was print
ed, under Billings date, copy of the
resolutions adopted by the saltwater
Wool Growers association. These reso-
buttons give hearty praise to the Mon
tana senator's for having opposed the
glazing inequalities of the Dingley bill
and appeal to both of them to stand
Loyalty by the position they have taken
for silver's sake.
This much the Standard, a-democrat-
ic newspaper. says without reservation
respecting a republican who represents
Montana in congress; this much shall
always be freely said of any service
rendered for silver by Mr.. Carter or
Mr. Hartman, whenever by word or
vote they give free coinage a lift. The
plan of these gentlemen is that free
coinage and protection are to 'go hand
in hand" We often question whether
they can make 1t work; their weak
point, as IL seems 10 US, is IN the TRAIT
orous ambition of men like Pettigrew
and the revealed insincerity of repub-
lican constituencies like oregon.
We hold in contempt the Mckinley
protection doctrine; it is worthless in
this state as having any influence on
wages-it costs Montana dollars where
It yields Montana dimes. Neverthe-
less. IL the five senators in question
can win out along the line of policy
they have adopted, success attend
them! This newspaper speaks for voters
who are with them and who will never
ask whether they be republicans or
democrats or what else or what not as
long as they go to the front to fight for
silver Mr.. Mantle appears to be all
right

his relatives were fairly active In their
efforts. 1t is said that he always booked
three seats for himself at the theater,
In order that one on either side might be

IN THE SENATE.

The state of Montana gets credit out
of the speech of Mr.. Mantle to which
the senate at Washington gave atten-
ton yesterday. In introducing his re-
marks, Senator Mantle made a manly
defense of the West against the as
saults which, in many quarters, have
been aimed at the intelligence, the in
tegrity and the morality of its people
He paid glowing tribute to the men
who opened up this region to civiliza-
ton and to those who have nobly car
ried forward the work which sturdy
pioneers began.
What was more to the point. Senator
Mantle. as the Standards special dis
patch of this morning recites, put in
compact form the argument in favor
OF the free coinage of silver, his effort
being to impress on the minds of his
republican associates the fact that re-
publican professions and republican
policy fully sustain him and the four
other western senators in the position
they lately took when they stood out
against Mr.. Dingley's tariff tinkering.
This mornings Washington special
dispatch says that Mr. Mantle spoke
impressively and often eloquently, that
he commanded courteous attention.
that his argument was strongly put
and that. at the close OF his address. he
was the recipient of cordial congratula-
tons and applause. We are glad of II;

weeks may roll their round before the
bodies of the victims can be recovered
and the story of their supreme strug-

In Butte, in this city and elsewhere
in Montana the deepest interest was
taken yesterday in every detail of infor-
nation that came from Basin. The
town ITSELF at the edge of which the
Hope mine is located, presented a
mournful scene. Most of the victims
were well known, some of them leave
dependent families and friends to
mourn their untimely fate, respecting
all of them the kindest words were ut
tered and expressions of sorrow heard.
