THE WRONG VIEW.

We find ourselves interested in a
Monday evening paragraph in the In
ter Mountain which says that the re-
publican policy contemplates free coin
age, protection and reciprocity.
We confess that we look in vain for
the traces of this policy in national
republicanism. We do not find 1t ex-
pressed in more than two or three of
the dozens of republican platforms
that have been given to the country
within ninety days. We do, however,
find the reverse of free coinage-the
single gold proposition-almost univer-
sally announced by republican conven-
tions.
The astonishing feature of the situa-
states and on the coast, free coinage
has Jared so i'll at the hands of the re-
publicans. Even in Montana, the re-
cent state convention developed the un-
comfortable fact that the republican
party has a good-sized faction that is
not for both but for one-and the one
is protection. The republicans in the
state of Washington went all wrong;
the same in Oregon. Last week the re-
publicans in Wyoming instructed for
Mckinley, almost at the very hour
when friends of that gentleman were in
session with influential New York re-
publicans. making II plain to the New
Workers that Mckinley is an up-and-
down gold-standard man.
Our conservative guess is that out of
the regiment of republican delegates
at St Louis, not thirty men, all told,
will say that the Inter Mountains
statement of the policy of the republic
can party is right.

AROUT A ROLT.

Zach incoming mail brings abundant
proof. In the Standards exchanges,
that the question of silver's strength in
the Chicago convention is worrying
the goldbug East. A page of the New
York Journal for Thursday of last
week is devoted to this question. The
Journal sent an inquiry to members of
the democratic national committee. to
democratic state chairmen and to 9TH
ers, asking them what, in their opin-
ion, would be the result were the silver
men to prevail. or what will happen in
case the gold side wins. and whether a
compromise is possible.
From known goldbug states the an
swers are emphatic and they are uni
formly 10 the effect that no compro-
mise is possible. Several answers are
from well-known administration sup
porters who announce clearly that gold
must win at Chicago. Typical Of this
class is the message OF Washington

not believe that the honest money men
would bolt a silver platform IL adopted
at Chicago. unless the republicans de-
clare for honest money. In that event.

doubt rather support a republican who
is sound on the money question. even II

A VEYING QUESTION.

How shall the Montana man go fish
ing according to law? Recently this
question has been put to the Standard
dozens of times; we confess our in
ability to give an answer on which 1t
is safe for any man to proceed. Our
correspondents may fish under the law
of 1895, at their peril; they may whip
the streams under the law of 1893, If
they think that is safe-each man must
be his own Judge.
You can get any opinion you want on
this question. Prosecuting officers In
the counties disagree with one another
and, in instances, with the attorney
general who, in turn, declares that. by
their ea-a ruple and practice, some of the
judges in the state disagree with him.
Our memory is that a case of prosecu-
ton for violation of the game law end
ed in smoke. through the action of the
governor who held the confusion re-
specting the law to be so great as TO
furnish an excuse for an alleged Of
fender. Some people have been ringing
the changes diligently on the charge
that members of the supreme bench
and certain district judges fished and
hunted last year not according to law
Yesterdays mail brought to this office
a letter which touches the subject. 1t
is this:

them last year and i shall not do so this

quite different from the fish law.
Yours, William H. De Witt.
New York, May IA, 1896.
If Judge De Witt could discover a
good game and fish law that can be
spared, while he is East, we wish he
would bring home with him all the
parts that can fit the case in this state.
1t must be that the patrons of the
sports involved can fix up a code that

fords for stream or forest and, at the

Professor Langley. of Washington,
has invented a flying machine with a
very remarkable popularity. namely 1t
flies. At a private test made in Vir-
ginia the other day. IL arose in the air
and sailed half a mile. No reporters
were invited and the details of the
performance are difficult to obtain
But MIR. Bell, the inventor of the tele-
phone. and other scientists who were
present besides Professor Langley, tes-
tify to the fact that the flying machine
actually flew.
Mr. Bell says in regard TO the test of
the new machine: II witnessed the
very remarkable experiment with Pro-
fessor Langley's aerodrome on the
Potomac river. Indeed IL seemed 20
me that the experiment was of such
historical Importance that IL should be
made public. do not feel at liberty to
give an account Of all the details but
the main facts l have Professor Lang

curves. sweeping steadily upward in

as 1t is possible for any bird to do,

The problem of flying would there

MAKING USE of REED

In truth, IL the phrase may be per-
mitted. the Mckinley people have their
gall with them. Organs of the Ohio
man have discovered wonderful second
place qualities in Speaker Reed. AS IL
with one accord and, for that matter,
as IL under instructions from Mr.. Han
ma, they are seeking to make IL ap-
pear that Reed is a sort of providence
for the presidency of the senate. that
he is the advance agent of the right
style of parliamentary usage, that he is
the ideal man for the tail end of the
ticket.
There is method in this feature of
the campaign-the constant recital of
Reeds name for the vice presidency
will help to fix in the mind of a very
large public the notion that he is no
longer in the field as a candidate for
first place; its effect is rather more
damaging TO Reeds chances than were
the Mckinley organs to leave him en-
tirely alone. There are a great many
tunes In the Mckinley repertoire; his
newspaper organs play them all.
There's no telling what Speaker
Reeds ambition may be, but there are
some millions of people whose opinion
respecting him will be lowered II he is
lured by the ambition that is bounded
by second place. For that matter. there
is reason to believe that obligations al
ready incurred will make 1t impossible
for the main body of McKinley's sup
port to be for Reed for the vice presi-
dency; but IL is a good-enough play till
June.

leading friends are heartily ashamed OF

platform of Indiana as on the free silver
platform of California. Such balancing
powers are rare.-Boston Globe.

We see nothing in the chapter of acci-
dents to stand in the way of Mckinley s
nomination His evasion and silence on
financial issues in the face of the over
whelming majority he promises to obtain
in convention will not stand in his way.
There is no question the mass OF the re-
publicans of these states demand MS
nomination, and 1t accords with the
American principle their will should pre-
vail. His election is another NATTER

Neither whispers, mods, winks nor the

He has a voice. Let him speak No other
utterance will dispel the distrust justly

poets are all in despair lest Mckinley be
nominated, for his name rhymes with

This may pass as an expression OF

bug republican for president before
they will support a silver candidate,
and they do not hesitate to say so.
Answering the New York Journals
question, Governor Altgeld says: 81 do
not know what the gold democrats will
do If the convention adopts a silver
platform, and l do not believe a COM
promise is possible" Mr.. M'Daniel,
SECRETARY VI the OldH Sldlc
committee, says to the Journal: 1T is
my opinion that the silver democrats
will refuse to support gold platform"
Carroll Armstrong, democratic chair
man in Arkansas, answers: I'm my
judgment II will be difficult to adopt a
compromise plank that does not include
the free coinage of silver"
Tobias Castor. member of the demo-
cratic national committee for Nebras-
ka, tells the Journal that, ''if the gold
standard men control the convention,
a number of states in the West win
bolt" c. S. Thomas, national commit
teeman for Colorado, writes: "If the
gold men obtain control of the Chicago
convention, free-coinage delegates may
not bolt but their constituencies will"
F. w. Beane, national committeeman
for Idaho, says: Idaho will be for sill
yer unqualifiedly. The state conven-
ton has not yet met. Am of the opin-
ion that no compromise can be effect
ed" The testimony of Secretary Da-
Wis, of the oregon state committee, is:
Should the gold men control the con-
vention there would be but one thing
the free-silver men could do-bolt."
OF course, there are answers of all
sorts in the Journals collection. We
are surprised and not gratified with
the message sent by A. ]. Davidson,
Montana member of the national COM
mittee, who says to the Journal: six
delegates from Montana will be for
silver. but they will abide by the de-
cision of a majority of the convention"
We are surprised that Mr.. Davidson
should presume thus to say what the
Montana democrats will do; we are not
gratified over his message because we
believe that he gives to the goldbug
East wrong impression as to the
wishes and the intentions of Montana
democracy. More to the point and
more loyal to the cause is the answer
sent by w. ]. Bryan of Nebraska, who
announces: II cannot speak for east
ern democrats. Our delegation will be
for silver at sixteen to one and no COM
promise. We cannot be frightened by
threatened bolts"

These expressions are as clear and bold
as anything that Mr.. Mckinley has ever
given to the world on the financial ques-
ton. Moreover, we believe that they

knowledge and opinions on the subject
