MONDAY, MAY 4. 1896.

Our Minister Uhl had a great day OF
II in Berlin. His formal presentation
TO Emperor William was rather a giddy
process. Mr.. Uhl may write to his
Michigan relatives. whom he quilted
three years ago to accept a four-thous-
and-a-year salary in Washington, that
Detroit never witnessed anything more
brilliant than the meeting OF Thl and
the emperor. Mr.. Uhl hasn't long to
stay in Berlin; twelve months will prob
ably be his limit-so changeful is this
country's diplomatic service. II he
wants to make a record he will dismiss
the visions of royalty and trappings
and military pomp and palaces and try
TO ascertain what he can do that is
good, for the American pork trade in
the Kaiser's realm.

BUTTE'S POLICE.

A year of police work i'm the city of
Butte is admirably summed up i'm the
report of Chief Tebo which the Stan
dard prints this morning; 1t is the best
report respecting police service In that
city that has ever been furnished to
the city government by any officer of
the department.
The close of the municipal year finds
the Butte force in good physical con-
dition the record for the year in this
respect is excellent. The same can be
said on the score of discipline-the re-
port of the chief in this respect is a
compliment to the department.
Chief Tebo makes several conserva-
tive recommendations relating to i'm
provements in the Butte service. These
included an alarm-call system. a patrol
wagon and other items which will I'M
doubtedly commend themselves to the
favorable attention of the aldermen.
The report draws on recent experience
in Butte in pointed illustration of the
wisdom of the suggestions that are
made.
one or two paragraphs In the chiefs
report are i'm evidence respecting the
Punishment of ground-fioor gambling in
Butte. IL appears that the police au-
thority. basing its opinion on experience,
strongly supports the reform that was
inaugurated i'm Buttes dealing with the
question of open gambling. The testi-
mony of Chief Tebo is the most con-
elusive sort of argument as to the wis
dom OF expelling gambling establish
ments from main floors.
All in all. Chief Tebos report is a
business-like document. 1t shows that
the statistics of the police department
are kept in an orderly manner. and it
makes a creditable showing for the
farCa

HE HAS DROPPED OUT.

Meanwhile, the public has lost track
of Delaware's pseudo-Senato Higgins.
Certain members Of the senate fancied
that they could seat this claimant; sew.
eral newspapers went so far as to urge
this course. even If the Higgins title
were shady. their proposition being
that he would count one against silver
anyhow and that the goldbugs had
need of him. Those who were interest
ed in voting Higgins in might have
brought the case to an issue long ago.
The trouble is that the argument has
been all with the other side-the claim
set up in behalf of Higgins was COM
pletely upset in the speeches of sew
eral senators who exposed the wrong
and the danger that would result were
the plans of the Higgins claimants
carried out The result is that the af-
fair has been quietly dropped; the inn
preston prevails that Higgins will not
be voted in during the present session.

sixteen page pamphlet with a char
acter sketch" so overwrought as to be
bombastic in IT'S terms The reader Is
left with the impression that the Ohio

ability in staliecraft and. in short. an

4 COMPLETE MACHINE.

The studied effort of Senator Gull
lom's friends is to impress on this
country's republicans the fact that
they are not exhibiting their scars. Yet
the Illinois senator was grievously pun
ished last week. Mr.. Cullom earnestly
desired the backing of his own state in
his ambition to be a candidate for the
presidency.
Doubtless the senator felt confident
that Illinois would favor him. Term
after term he served in the states leg
islature; time and again he has headed
its republican delegations in national
conventions. Twice he was elected
governor of Illinois; he has been one
of its federal senators since 1888.
But the Mckinley boomers paid no
attention to Cullom or his friends.
They were out for delegates in Illinois,
Just as they operated in Minnesota, in
Kentucky and in New York. altogether
in disregard Of any local favorite. The
result was abject defeat for Senator

votes; Harrison was nominated ON the
first ballot. Nothing in the records in
inmates that Mckinley ever com
manded" those who voted for him Ito

''n has been said that the finest tribute
paid by a popular convention was that
which Mckinley received when he re-
jected these offers Of the nomination"
All of which is news.
But, whatever the past, this year
finds Governor Mckinley not com
manding anybody to keep still. He Is
making a campaign which surprises
the country and leaves most of his riv-
ais in a sorry plight. Everywhere the
agents of Mckinley are active; we
hear that, even in Montana, when the
republicans meet in convention an eff
fort is going to be made to get up a
hurrah over the candidacy of this en-
envy of silver.

IT'S THEIR FIGHT.

In a preliminary way the A. p. As
and the other Silver Bow republicans
have it out tonight. AS the Standard
remarked yesterday morning. this is
perfectly well-defined fight-it is strict
ly a republican affair.
In association with Mr.. Teller and
two other republicans, the Montana
senators lately went so far as to defy
the national republican party's tariff
scheme. They did this for the sake of
silver; in doing it they commended
themselves to the applause of all good
men in Montana.
Whether these men shall be delegated
to the st. Louis convention remains to
be seen-the republican state conven-
ton settles that. The democrats of the
state forgot about politics and praised
the senators for what they did; that is
all that Montana democracy can do in
the matter.
What Montana wants both at Chicago
and St Louis, above all else, Is the
very best service that can be rendered
for silver. We are not expecting much
of st. Louis-that bids fair to be a gold
bug aggregation. But whatever Is
done there, Montana ought to be heard
from
1t happens that the states two sena-
tors have become widely known; a
good many delegates would at least
give them respectful hearing.
Whether they would walk out of the
convention, If free coinage gets the
worst of 1t, we do not know. Their go
ing out would not be without some
effect.
The report in Butte is that Mayor
| Thompson will try for It; he is repre-
sented as saying that he will walk out
IL the convention fails to nominate a
silver man. Well, what of that? Sup
pose Mayor Thompson goes to the con-
vention and talks. or tries to talk. or
sings or leaps from the gallery or
squats on the floor or stays in or walks
out: suppose he does-what earthly diff
ference does II make?
If there's going to be any walking
out in Montana's name, let II be done
by somebody whose walking is good
for something in a vast convention
where men of national reputation meet.
But, then, II is a republican fight.
