IN A SAFE PLACE..

The turbulent students at Barcelona
find themselves disposed to regard the
Cuban resolutions adopted at Wash
ington as a warlike measure. and they
propose to organize demonstrations
against the United States Thus far
these excitable young men have not
worried the United States, but they
have given their own government
good deal of trouble by threatening to
do several very foolish things. Their
warlike demonstrations will be looked
upon in this country as ridiculous, but
they are quite likely 10 go headlong
lust far enough to get themselves into
serious complications with the powers
at Madrid.
If these transformers are so anxious
to fight, why don't they go to Cuba
and enlist under weyler? According
to news that seems reliable he is sadly
in need of recruits. They might thus
serve their country with some credit.
At any rate, even IL they developed
good cases of yellow fever in the sub
urbs of Havana, they would make a
more respectable showing than they
do by bowling through the streets of a
town as far away from the danger
point as Barcelona is.

straddle. Senator Sherman adds: THE
people of Ohio are for that money

err. That is gold coin, or its equivalent
in other money of equal purchasing
power. This, believe. is also the opin-
ion Of Governor Mckinley, and it is the
doctrine OF the republican party"
1t is a little remarkable that so many
people have been in the dark respecting
the opinions of candidate for the pres
idency on the most vital question of the
day. Not longer than the time Of the
recent state convention in Ohio. Gov
ernor Mckinley tried to confuse the
public as to his views. Later conven-
tions, however. and the unanimous ex-
preston Of gold-standard opinion by
eastern republicans have smoked him
out. There is now no republican can

cans in many parts Of the country, and
they profess to have received a great
deal of encouragement. These workers
are not daunted by the letter which the
General wrote some months ago in
which he declared himself out Of the
race. All they are asking Of him now
is that he shall not write another letter.
The fact that certain members of his
family are out with him and did not
attend his wedding is a point in the
Generals favor. as far as his white
house chances are concerned. He was
hampered during his first term by a
son, Russell b.. who came to be re-
garded by many influential republicans
as an all-around nuisance. What hap
pens in private life is not the affair of
the public, but a family quarrel elm
mating Russell B. Harrison from the
white-house circle would add to General
Harrison's personal popularity.

AGAIN THE CREES.

1t appears that, in one or two OF the
northern counties of the state, there are
Cree Indians who cannot be evicted-
the conditions relative to them are ex-
planned in a letter recently addressed
to Governor Richards by the Indian
commissioner for the Northwest terri
tory. The Standard prints the letter
this morning.
However, the correspondence lately
exchanged makes 1t certain that, before
many months, the state will be cleared
of these Cree intruders; the authorities
in Canada request that they be deliv-
cred at the northern border. Governor
Richards has referred the matter TO
Secretary Olney; it seems clear from
the facts presented by the Governor
some time ago that the federal govern
ment ought to assume the duty of
rounding up these Indians and deliver
ing them at the border.
The state may be well rid of these va
grants. They ought to have been re-
moved long ago. Governor Richards
has been persistent in the effort to have
them sent where they belong, and, to
all appearance. he is going to be sue
| cessful.

TILE METRIC SYSTEM.

Efforts to commit this country to the
metric system have been spasmodic, as
far as congress Is concerned. The re-
form-if that is what 1t really is-has
had persistent advocates for many
years 1t has been made the subject
for international conferences. ii was
before congress thirty years ago, 1t Is
the theme of petitions which at one
time or another have been widely cir
culated. ~
The metric system would give us the
kilogram as the ultimate standard OF
mass or weight, and the meter as the
ultimate standard of length. That the
advocates of the system have a good
cause, there is no doubt, but the radi-
cal changes that are proposed are of
the sort to which, naturally, the gov
eminent is slow to commit itself.
Mr.. Stones bill, which turned pretty
short corners in the house yesterday.
provides that, after July 1, 1898, the
metric system shall be in force in all
departments of the government, except
for the survey of the public lands, and
that after January 1, 1901, 1t shall be
the only legal system of weights and
measures recognized in the United
States.

IN KENTUCKY.

Governor Bradley is another favorite
son who will undoubtedly be recloned
among the missing at st. Louis. Brad
ley would never have been dreamed of
but for the fact that, through Mr.. Car
isles connivance, he, a republican, was
elected governor of Kentucky last year.
AS soon as he was elected, Bradley got
Il into his head that he was quite
man. Some of the newspapers proposed
him for second place on the republican
ticket, but the governor-elect's friends
secuted the suggestion-first place was
nothing too good for him.
Three months ago everybody natural
iy assumed that Bradley would go to st.
Louis with all Kentucky shouting for
him; that is to say, everybody except
the Hanna Nc Kinley ring thought this.
Almost before Bradley had a suspicion
of what was going on, McKinley's fat
fried agencies were operating right TN
der his nose. The result has been
season of lively campaigning in Ken
lucky. with the outcome that Bradley
gets a good deal the worst of IL.
Local conventions held up to the end
of last week gave Bradley. for the state
convention. 27s instructed delegates and
l Mckinley 200. with 1876 delegates not
/ instructed. But important conventions
were held day before yesterday in
Louisville, Lexington and elsewhere.
In these two cities the contest was
bitter; yesterdays news from Louisville
! uae that Mckinley was easily the win
ner.
That appears to wind up the Bradley
BOOM although the Louisville Courier
Journal printed last Saturday report
TO the effect that Bradley had received
a telegram from the supreme advisory
! board of the A. p. A. telling him To
be of good cheer and not withdraw
asserting that the association would
have a majority i'm the ST. Louis con-
vention; that IL would not regard any
Instructions; that IL would not suppori
Mckinley: that Linton, the A. p. A.
candidate. was on the track" and
that Bradley would be nominated.

OF Bradley's lieutenants told him that
he must become an A. p. A. II he want

THE DISASTER AT BASIN.


This morning the Standard is obliged
TO record the details of last nights dis
tressing catastrophe at Basin. Yester-
day morning a special dispatch printed
in these pages announced that the
Hope mine had been closed down and
most of the employees laid off. This
morning the news is that the hoist at
the Hope was destroyed by fire at 8
O'Clock last night and that the mill mar
rowly escaped destruction.
The most deplorable feature of the
case is that seven men were known to
be In the mine at the time when the
fire occurred-they were putting things
in shape for the shutdown. Up to the
latest hour, no tidings have come re-
specting these unfortunate men; those
who are at the scene appeared, at mid
night, TO be in despair over the fate of
the seven, However the extent of the
confiagration within the shaft had not
been ascertained; there is a possibility
that the miners. or some of them at
least, may be fortunate enough to make
their escape. That hope will be ardent
ly cherished in every community where
the Standard is read. 1t goes without
saying that the comrades of the i'm
prisoned men and the people of Basin
will do all that is within human power
for the relief of those whom the fire
shut in.
Basins experience has been an UNI
happy one in respect to disasters 10
mining properties by fire-the burning
of the Katie is well remembered. Last
nights disaster. unless more cheering
news comes respecting the seven men,
will outrank most of the calamities that
are a part of the annals in mining ex-
perience in Montana.

In classic days of old. the winning of
a prize at the olympian games was
perhaps the highest honor to which an
Athenian or a citizen OF Greece could
aspire. About twenty-three years ago,
the work of making excavations reveal
ed the great amphitheater in which
these games were witnessed. The site
was fully uncovered and partially re-
stored, and there are progressing the
international games from which the
newspapers are receiving daily reports.
In these contests many nations are rep
resented; from this country two teams
are present-one from Boston and one
from Princeton. Recent dispatches
show that this country is scoring
a fair share of the victories. Some
of the contests of yore are features of
the sports in progress; but how II
