AN EARLY CONVENTION.

The Standard prints this morning the
opinions of a number Of Montana dem
ocrats regarding the proper time for
holding the state convention to be
called for the purpose of choosing dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago. The large preponderance of
sentiment is in favor of holding an
early convention. and the reasons given
for this view are plain. cogent and un.
answerable.
There is. indeed. every reason why
the Montana democracy should pro-
coed promptly to business and add
Montana's to the column of known sill
yer delegates. Forecasts made by the
New York press within the last ten
days indicate a silver majority at
Chicago. The gold forces within the
party are redoubling their energies to
turn the tide A policy OF procrastina-
ton and delay on Montana's part is
liable to be seized upon by the enemy
and misconstrued as indicative of doubt
and uncertainty right here in silver's
stronghold. To hold the state conven-
ton just as soon as 1t can reasonably
and consistently be called will, on the
other hand, not only place Montana in
a position above suspicion but will ex-
ert strong moral effect on the demo-
Gratis of other states now wavering
between silver and gold.
The democracy OF Montana owes 1t to
itself. TO the party and to the nation to
do everything within its power. TO seize
every possible opportunity to strength
en- and solidify the silver forces at Chi
cago. We can see no merit whatever
in the argument that IL the convention
is postponed until after the republican
national convention at St. Louis the
local democrats will be in shape to
take advantage of whatever blunders
that convention may commit. We can
conceive how such an argument might
apply In a goldbug state But here In
Montana, there is only one possible
course to pursue. only one policy to
adopt. the selection of delegates
pledged absolutely to the silver cause
by the strongest possible silver resolu-
lions.
The sooner this is done the better.
No matter what the ST. Louis conven-
ton may or may not do. the democratic
party Of Montana cannot switch or
turn one iota from it's plain duty. This
is not a waiting game so far as Mon
tana is concerned. Several of the sill
yer states have already held their con-
ventions and placed themselves on
record. Let US get in line as quickly as
possible. 1t is the one thing TO do and
the only thing to do.

senate Proceedings.

Washington, April fisherman
sought to proceed with the bill concern
ing the taxation of fruit brandies, to
which the finance committee had Offer
ed an amendment repeating the tax on
alcohol used in the arts. Chandler
urged that Sherman's course invited
discussion of the tariff question, a
question which was as dead as Julius
Caesar. He said with the tariff debate
other pressing subjects would be
crowded out. Sherman explained that
millions were lost by the failure to cor
rect errors in the present law.
Plat said that If the tariff mistakes
were to be considered, the Wilson bill
should be repealed. Sherman's motion
was defeated. and consideration of the
sundry civil bill was resumed. Per-
kins secured an amendment appropriate
ing $250.000 for first-class revenue cut
tiers for the Pacific coast. Frye had the
number of the new revenue cutters for
the great lakes increased from one to
two, to cost $1,000 for both.
An amendment by Gordon was made
increasing the cost of the public build
ing at Savannah from $400. 900 to $780,
600.
Bate offered an amendment embrace
ing more than 300 claims. aggregating
$572, 900, favorably acted on by the court
of claims, under the Bowman act. AL
lison made point of order against add
ing this to an appropriation bill. and
the amendment went over. Later an
amendment was made appropriating
$751; 900 for the public building at Salt
Lake City.
Hawley offered an amendment stat
ing the printing of postage stamps at
the bureau of engraving and printing
be discontinued, and that the printing
be done by contract in public competi-
ton. This opened an extended discus
sion. The amendment was finally ruled
out on a point of order made by Mel
son, whereupon Plat appealed from the
decision of the chair, Chiffon presiding.
Nelson declared that this move was
made in the interest of disappointed
bidders. The appeal was afterwards
The amendment was later
offered in another form and defeated.
Claims under the Bowman act were
ruled out on a point of order. AS thus
the sundry civil bill was
passed.
Chandler asked for early action on
the resolution for a senate investiga-
ton into the Alabama elections. This
brought out a statement from Allen
that his vote and that of other popu-
lists would be given for the investiga-
tions so that IL the A republicans were
given for II, Allen said, the resolution
would pass Pugh said that II would
be the most remarkable event In the
of the senate If "A senators vot-
ed for this investigation.
At d. m. the senate held an execu-
tive session and soon after adjourned.

The scheme of the Bell Telephone
company TO connect each delegation at
the St. Louis convention by wire with
a central station on the stage behind
the speaker so that he can know the
name of the man in any delegation that
he desires to recognize. is something
so sensible and yet so simple that the
Salt Lake Tribune wonders il has never
been thought OF before. II also seems
TO be a clever scheme for delegates to
ring their names I'm to the newspapers.

den aud awful agency. Such scenes Of
wild and unparalleled extravaganza as
are to be enacted at Moscow will goad
the nihilists to fury; they will kill the
car as sure as the world IL they can
get at him. In no other country in the
world to-day do the two extremes of
absolutism and anarchism exist in so
powerful a form. They abhor and hate
each other with hatred as intense as
the chasm between them is wide and
deep. Personally Nicholas II. is said
to be kind and lovable man. anxious
for the respect and admiration of his
subjects. But the system is wrong.

TO throw their patronage TO other cen
tors of trade. This they had a right to
do. and their action has been 50 nearly
unanimous that the twin towns have
felt the effect of it.
We are glad of 1t. The newspaper
talk running just now is the result, not
of any gossip started here, but of COM
plant lately started in commercial cir
cles in Minnesota. We trust that the
complaints will be kept up; let every
Montana merchant pledge himself to
the proposition that, to the extent Of
his ability, he will give st. Paul ample
Invitation 10 make IL louder.
We print this mornings Pioneer
Press talk not with any thought of dis
cussing II. but merely to let the text of
what is said by a newspaper that has
lost its circulation in Montana reach
the mercantile public of this state. The
other day the Standard said: 1--WE I'M
dertake to say that the bitterness as
well as the bigotry and the ignorance
respecting the silver question, that has
distinguished newspapers like the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press has not been
matched in any city on the Atlantic
coast" In proof of this assertion, we
submit the maudlin talk which comes
to us by wire as this mornings edi-
torial observations from st. Paul. The
Pioneer Press is a money-losing organ
printed in an impoverished city whose
jobbers tried hard to crowd Montana
merchants. three years ago. when
things were snug
These newspapers in the twin-cities
what a baby name-have the right to
put into type their TRADES against sill
yer sentiment in Montana. In turn,
Montana has a right to trade where 1t
pleases. Our prediction is that Mon
tana will trade at any goldbug hotbed
in the East rather than favor two cities
which are of the Northwest and which,
hitherto, have claimed trade in this re-
gion on the allegation of their dis
tinguished friendship for the North
west
On a reading of this mornings impu-
dent contr ibution from the St. Paul
Pioneer Press. the Standard renews its
exhortation to the merchants of Mon
tana that, insofar as they can find II
possible. they jump Minnesota and
send their favors in the way of trade
to cities, however hostile, on the other
side Of the Mississippi river. Better is
an open enemy afar off than an al
legged friend near by.
Let every patron of the Standard
read what this mornings first page of
the Standard says in quotation of the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. That news
papers alien editorship, under foreign
ownership, would have it appear that
Montana offers itself for pay, like any
siren, to the Establishments of the city
of st. Paul. Be il enough to say that
Minneapolis and st. Paul have no
moral obligation to support Montana |
miners" If the dirty insinuation of the |
Pioneer Press is not soon repulsed, the |
Standard wants, at once, to quit its |
constituency; but, then. the insinuation |
will be speedily repulsed.
