At the Pole.

The modern map of the world marks
a point as the north pole and surrounds
n with a large belt which is marked
unknown region" This is the part OF
the globe which. i'm long succession,
venturesome navigators have sought
without success to explore.
COMPARATIVELY few people find these
Arctic cruises attractive. Mankind Is
satisfied TO assume that the pole Is
there. comfortably holding its own.
There may be something for science in
the actual arrival of human beings at
the point where the pole is supposed 10
be. not many people are enthusiastic in
that opinion.
Dispatches from scattered points in
Europe are TO the effect that hansen
the Norwegian explorer, has found the
north pole. taken possession of ii in the
name Of his king and planted the Nor
wegian flag right in the middle Of the
top of IT, Nothing is considered 10 he
impossible in these days. yet the re-
port Of this discovery will probably
pass as a Scandinavian fairy tale.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY IA. 1896.
In the House

BAD as ii is. the vote taken yester-
day in the house of representatives tai
lies well with the forecasts that had
been made by the friends of free coin
age.
The disposition to trace yesterdays
results to republican control In the
house naturally presents itself How
ever. the ratio of silver men To goldhugs
has not undergone essential change If
comparison be made with the test vote
taken in the Fifty-thlrd congress, in
1898. when the democrats We're in con-
troll of the house Yesterday silver was
defeated by so TO 100; in october. 1898,
at the close of the long struggle in the
extra session, silver was defeated. the
vote being % to 1913.
The bulk Of the house republicans
are Of one mind with President Cleve-
land on the silver question. Republi-
can aspirants for the presidency. with
the exception of Mr.. Morton, who is
working for the nomination. and of
Mr.. Quay. who doesn't count, are shy
of the issue. In his Chicago speech of
Wednesday, Major Mckinley tried to
make II clear that the tariff Will be
this years burning question.
That is not true: conservative re-
pubncans insist that the tariff ques-
ton must be kept in the background,
but it will not stay there if Mckinley
can help it, Meanwhile free coinage has
a firm foundation in the senate. II
controls thereby this means the silver
question is kept in fun view and the

Missoula's Dis riot Court.

Some Of the charges alleged against
Mr. Mcconnell clerk of the district
court at Missoula. as recited on the
Standards first page this morning,
have been quietly discussed for a good
while, not alone in Missoula, but in
half a dozen other cities in the state.
These charges refer In part to the
money realized from the sale of town
site land in the western part of the
state This was government land, the
custody of funds realized from sales
passed to the district court.
The allegations of wrong doing on
the part of the clerk Of the court We're
kept as quiet as possible. yet it was
found TO be out Of the question 10 keep
them a secret. The charges are most
eerious; II they are untrue, Mr.. Me
Council. holding an important trust in
the judiciary Of the state. ought not TO
rest under them for an instant. other
money matters at court, in which
wrong-doing is alleged. have developed
more recently. and thus the whole Sc
ries Of charges has gone TO the public.
The later allegations involve fraudu-
lent warrants-all in all considerable
sum Of money is involved
Recently word has reached several
communities outside Of Missoula that
the opposition TO the inquiry which is
now proposed deemed it wise TO resort
20 certain sorts Of threats directed at
persons who. in one way or the other.
may have to do with getting at the
truth in the matter Of these charges.
II this is so. the public will be -eady
with the declaration that threats don't
go. The right way and manifestly the
fair way for all concerned is to make
all the gossip and all the allegations
the subject of searching inquiry. Tn
der that plan no man will suffer injus-
tice. The proper power will decree the
fullest vindication for any man un'
Justly accused, and, on the other hand
the proper power will be very sure tina
the integrity OF one Of the states mos
important courts is completely de
Tended.

Still With Us.

An unusually long time has elapsed
since an eagle has swoopcd down upon
the earth, picked up child In its
taIons and scared aloft. We were
afraid lest the eagles were going out
of the business. Twenty years ago or
so there was great competition among
them in this line. Eagles were carry
ing young children OFF in all parts Oh
the country. The more enterprising
among them did not hesitate 10 pluck
a. babe right out of its mothers arms.
But the old man was always oppor-
runely around with a gun. With mar
velous accuracy of aim he shot the
eagle on the wing, and the papy
dropped into the mothers outstretched
apron. or something. safe and sound.
Possibly the good workmanship OF
the fathers intimidated the eagles and
broke up their baby -thieving propen-
stiles. or possibly they were dis
mayed by the more wonderful stories
of sea serpents circulated among men
and regarded themselves as outclassed.
However it seems that the old instinct
to fly away with babies, If dormant,
is not dead Along comes a Geographic
report from Gainesville, Fla, which re-
assures us that the American eagle
can when he pleases resume his pris-
tine valor and still perform prodigies
of baby snatching. The Gainesville
eagle fastened upon Harry, the two
wears old son of Mr.. and Mrs. }. L.
| Morrison, and scared with him TO
vast height Strangely enough in TINS
case the old man was not around with
| his gun, and there was nothing Tor
! Mrs. Morrison to do but to gaze alott
at her rapidly disappearing child and
scream. The eagle seems to have been
touched by the mothers demonsira-
tions of woe, or else he was nonplussed
at the non-appcarance of Mr.. Morri-
| son and his trusty rifle on
the programme, and concluded
| he would have to finish II
himself; at any rate, he flew back
TO within forty feet Of the earth and
dropped the baby safely in thick
cedar tree. Then, we read, Mrs. Nor
rison tainted, but her husband, who
had just some up, quickly rescued Har-
ry. The boy was stunned by the fan
but no bones were broken and he was
soon conscious"
We are not sure that these variations
upon the regular performance are any
improvements Most of US old-fash-
toned people object to radical changes
I'm life. and would prefer to take oui
eagle stories with the regulation ole
man and his unerring Winchester Still
we are all glad ito see that the eagle
is stin i'm the field, despite the fierce
competition of the sea serpent anC
other great snakes.

IT Is Impossible to Learn the Language
by Their Aid.
From the Mexican Herald.
An American journal advises the more
general study of the Spanish language IN
the United States on the ground of its
commercial utility. We believe that In
San Francisco and in Kansas City and
i'm a few other places instruction is given
in Spanish but II is likely that II does
not go very far and is not entirely practl-
cal. for most language teachers in the
United Staes are either tiresome pedants
or charlatans who sadly waste the time
of their pupils: and the makers OF IN
struction books in the modern language
almost always omit what is colloquial,
and therefore useful. and give mass of
nurelv bookish words and elegant con-
structions, with the apparent idea that
only diettantes and future poets are TO
be educated.

mars and correspondence books, which.

can be claimed for Quay. In view of
the career Of Quay when, as a state

Evidently, all across the country, the

belief that those who are conspicuous

Already the pace has been made very
rapid-the Morton pushers are chiefly
responsible for that. The man who gets
