BU1'TE,S PRIMARIES

The fight in the republican ranks at
the primaries yesterday seems to have
been clearly defined and the results
seem to have been conclusive. One
ticket at the primaries declared itself
plainly for Mantle, Carter and Hart.
man as delegates to the republican ma
tional convention at st. Louis. The
face of what 1t might represent, and
left 1t to be. concluded that, whatever
else the anonymous ticket might rep
resent, 1t was certainly opposed to
sending Montana's representatives in
Washington as delegates TO the nation
al convention.
On that issue the Mantle and Carter
people won, and politics aside, silver
men in Montana, silver men the coun-
try over, will be mighty glad of it.
Whatever may have been the motives
which impelled a secret organization to
lead a fight against Montana's repre-
sentatives. back in the East and every
where in fact but in Montana the de-
feat of Mantle, Carter and Hartman
could have but one meaning. To the
country at large ii would be regarded
as nothing else than a rebuke to these
gentlemen from the people of Montana
for the position they took in Washing
ton contrary to the wishes and views
of republican party leaders in the East.
II could have been regarded only as a
censure, a condemnation by the repub-
licans of Montana. of the course of
their representatives in congress. 1t
would indicate that the republicans of
Montana are not for silver. and in no
stronger way could they express their
disapproval of the course of Mantle.
Carter and Hartman than by refusing
TO send them as delegates to ST. Louis.
The Standard is not politically sell
fish on this silver question. The demo-
Gratis OF Montana are not selfish on this
silver question. The democrats, we
believe. and the Standard, we know. is
willing and anxious that the republic
cans of Montana shall be right ON the
question of the free coinage OF silver
and shall so appear. All Montana, to a
man. republicans, democrats and pop
uhsts, should be united on that one
question IL on no other, and no true
citizen OF Montana, though he be the
strongest OF democrats. would rejoice
to see the republicans OF Montana APP
pear before the world as in an attitude
of opposition to silver.
Contemplate indeed is the man or the
body OF men who would risk giving a
vital blow to the cause of silver in or
der to advance ambition or a more
petty spite. The plot seems to have
failed. and no true silver man of any
party will be sorry for that.

CONVICT LABOR.

The committee on labor has submitted
to the house of representatives a ia
vorable report on the Southwick bill to
protect free labor and the industries in
which 1t is employed from the Injurious
effects of convict labor by combining the
sale of goods manufactured by convict
labor to the state in which they are
produced.
There is no disputing the fact" the
report says. that the question of the
employment of $4,000 convicts in the
several prisons and penitentiaries of
the United States is one of great i'm
portance. and that its satisfactory solu-
ton requires the exercise of the sound
est judgment and the wisest counsels
on the part of those whose duty il is to
legislate on the subject. Some states
having in a great measure protected
their own business enterprises and la
Dor from the unequal competition of
their prisoners, send travelling agents
of their penitentiaries into other states
to dispose of convict-made goods at
prices that utterly defy competition
from those who employ free labor. 1t
is evident that this is a wrong which
should not be permitted to continue II
a remedy can be applied"
The report further asserts that moth
ing less than the enactment of such
national legislation as will effectually
prohibit the interstate transportation
of prison-made goods will be found eff
cacious The committee believes that
in the bill reported will be found such
remedy for the wrongs complained of
as is within the power or congress TO
apply. The committee adopted an
amendment exempting manufactured
agricultural products from the restric-
tons imposed.

Under the caption of 1.-The Assassina-
ton of Reed" the New Haven Register
comments entertainingly upon the raz-
zle-dazzle methods of the McKinleyites
who captured the Vermont republican
convention, and concludes with this
pertinent and truthful summary: I'VE
speak of this with no satisfaction, for
ii has Dts sad side, and furnishes a de-
pressing comment upon the hardness
and GOODNESS of modern political condi-
tions. Mr.. Reed is to-day the brainiest
republican in public life, a man of high
character and aims, of splendid intel
lectual qualifications, and as independ-
emit as a man ought to be without being
cranky. AS compared with him, Nc
Kinley is a pigmy, whose one charm is
his personality. He is a commonplace
legislator and a man of no positive
traits of character that are not danger
Gus to the community he governs in an
executive capacity. To turn Reed down
for him is to put a small hand cart be-
fore a horse standing eighteen hands
high. 1t ought to make the republicans
of New England blush with shame to
thus desert the only real leader they
have had since Blaine died. 1t is a
contemplate performance and speaks
volumes for the character and aims of
modern republicanism."

cures in Greenfield, Mass. The place is
thronged with cripples, the blind and
the deaf. The healer, under the direo-

200 patients, and in majority of cases
with instantaneous success.
There was a dramatic scene in the ho-
tel when DR.. J. Owen of New York Of.

for him. In the presence of a large
crowd, the rustic healer spurned the Of

Newell is making money now. When
he first discovered his power, he refused
to accept any pay and stuck to his work
at the forge; now he has business man
ager and charges 50 head. In four
days he has cleared more than 81, 900.
Newell positively refuses to make any
contract whatever, no matter how big a
sum Of money is offered, because he can
not guarantee that his power will con-
