Billings Gazette: II is refreshing and
inspiring, after the seditious utterances
in the house the other day of Talbert
of South Carolina. 10 hear such an ex-
preston as that of General John b.
Gordon. United States senator from
Georgia. The military academy appro-
priation bill was under discussion in
the senate. and during the course Of
the debate the necessity for an increase
in the citizen soldiery of the country
was referred to- General Gordon, whom
all will remember as one OF the best
fighters in the confederate army, urged
the Importance of such action. He
spoke of the great conflict and the
happy obliteration of its fierce animOsi-
ty." urging an increase in the citizen

The difference.

Dillon Examiner: The members of
the Henela capital committee are being
sued by a number of persons, including
several members of the newspaper fra
ternity, who hold unpaid claims against
the committee. After having secured
the capital prize the least the people
of Helena could do. IL seems, would be
to pay for the services of those who
made Helena's victory possible. BY the
way, the Examiner has not learned Of
a single case where the Anaconda cap
ital committee has been sued for the
collection of a just claim. This fact
presents a striking contrast between
Helena and Anaconda methods.

are considered a trinity of thought and
method. We honestly believe that the
defeat of the silver substitute in the
house on Thursday last was a direct
result of the disgraceful utterances Of
Tillman of South Carolina and Talbert,
his colleague in the house, and not al
together untraceable to Vest. The in
temperate expressions of sentiment by
both Tillman in the senate and Talbert
in the house frightened good men from
the silver substitute.

The cause of the demise of this pleasant

heavy artillery directed against IL by

Dillon Examiner: Senators Mantle
and Carter are denounced by the re-
publican goldbug press for voting
against the motion to take up the tariff
bill in the senate. This attack will not

as they have the satisfaction of know
ing that their course in this matter
is approved of by their constituents.
irrespective of party affiliations. Mon
-tana's interest in the silver question
which was indirectly involved in this
motion is paramount to petty partisan
considerations and the vote of our Mon
tana senators shows that they subor-
dinated party fealty TO the true inter
ests of the state which they were chos-
en- to represent. Good for Mantle and
Carter.

necessarily mean that the queen does

title.
