ANOTHER ROAST.
Utterances q Text for His Maiden
Speech.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The senate
chaplain, DIR. Alilburn, referred feel
ingly i'm his prayer today to the i'll
ness of the senior senator's from
Indiana and Alabama, Norhces and
Morgan.
Gallinger, of New Hampshire. read
a letter from the general secretary of
the Armenian relief association, in
which he referred to the extreme
urgency of the situation in Turkey,
asking that steps be taken to stop
the most appalling sacrifice i'm the
history of the world. Gallinger
added that while he would not sug-
gest ways and means to the foreign
relations committee, yet he sincerely
hoped some method would be devised
to check the Turkish atrocities,
Mantle, of Montana, was recog-
recommending the tariff bill to the
finance committee. 1t was his
maiden speech, and was of a formal
character. He said he hesitated, as
y
senate. to address the body, misin-
depreciation and misrepresentation
entertained against the Republicans
OF the west moved him. He spoke
of the recent utterances of President
Cleveland before the missionary
gathering derogatory to the west as
| but one of the assaults made of late
against rotten boroughs and min
ing camps of the west, as the metro
politan president had designated the
silver states.
Mr. Mantle declared that within a
radius OF five miles of Carnegie hall,
New York. where Cleveland spoke.
there was more poverty, Ignorance,
squalor, starvation, crime and crimi-
mails than i'm all the silver states com
bined. He gave statistics compar-
ing the silver states with five eastern
states, showing that the former
We're breast and head over thceastern
states i'm material andmoral standing
Mantle said the attacks sprang
mainly from the fact that five Repub-
lican senators from the west voted
against proceeding with the tariff
bill at an inopportunc time.
The Mckinley law was. said tho
Senator, strictly high protective
measure, so high that some of the
Republican senators doubted it's eX
; pediency, and would, II the Republi
can party were fully restored to
power, oppose its re-enactment, ant
the DINGHY bill was not measure
designed for protection or revenue
1t was Al political measure framed
without due consideration for th'
western states.
There are some. Republicans" ex
claimed Mantle. willing to sacrifice
. the principles of the Republican
party SO long as the measure affordl
protection to certain interests.

ENFORcEMENT'oF THE LAW.
General Harrison Defines the Powers of the
Chief Executive.

EX-President Harrison writes on
April Ladies' Home journal, and
tersely defines the power vested in
the president to suppress organized
disorder. The paper brings under
consideration the legal points
involved i'm the railroader's strikes
at Chicago and other points i'm the
west, and subsequent riots by organ
lied mobs. and says: 80 1t was
held that a mail train was composed
not only of postal ears, but of such
other cars as were usually drawn
with the postal cars i'm the same
train; that the railroad companies
could not be required to- run mail
ears, when prevented by violence
from hauling with them other
coaches assigned to the train; and
that any cutting out of cars from a
mail train was All interference with
the transportation of the United
States mails. So it was held that
the stoppage of ftrains-freight or pas
senger-running from one state into
another-that lis, conducting inter
state commerce-or the tearing up
of or obstructing the tracks over
which such Interstate commerce
was carried. was an offense against
the peace of the United States. Such
an offense may be enjoined by the
courts, and the army of the United
States used by the president to re-
store order without waiting for any
call from the state Legislature or
the governor for assistance. 1t is
not domestic violence in the sense
OF Section 4, Article 4, of the consti-
tuition, but an attack upon the
powers OF the national government,
and neither the request nor the con-
sent of the state is needed to give
the president u right to Use the means
placed i'm his hands by the eonstitu-
ton. to preserve the peace of the
United States. and to see that the
mails and Interstate commerce are
not stopped nor impeded by violence.

TERRIBLE POWDER EXPLOSION.
Six Ten 1eet Instant Death in the Depths Of
the st. Lawrence 1ine in Butte.

BUTTE. April ll-By an explosionin in
or near the magazine on the east 100
foot level of the st. Lawrence mine
about 4:20 this morning six men lost
their lives. They are: Con q. Towney.
John Quinlan. Ed. Shields, James
Dwyer, John McVeigh and Patrick
O'Rourke. None of them were mar
ried. Towney and Quinlan were shaft
men and were due to come off shift
about 6:45. The other four men
We're working in the level beyond
the magazine and We're OFF shift
at :I::IO. The magazine is situated
$50 feet east of the shaft. TOwney
and Quinlan are supposed to have
gone to the magazine to make their
primers, but just how the explosion
occurred is not known, as the only
ones in the vicinity at the time are
dead. Towney' and Quinlan We're
other four men were probably suffo-
Gated by foul air caused by the ex-
plosion. 1t is possible the men We're
coming out to the shaft and were
passing the magazine or were on
their way to- it when the explosion
took place. For n distance of 10 feet
from the magazine toward the shaft
the tagging was blown down,
together with large quantities Of
rock and earth, so it is impossible to
get nearer than that point at present.
\ large force of men was put TO work
at once.

Arbor Day.

Gov. Richards has issued the fol-
lowing Arbor day proclamation;
I'm pursuance of the law. hereby
designate May Il, 1896, as Arbor day,
and recommend the observance
thereof by the citizens of Montana.
The law has wisely set apart one
day in the year to be devoted to
tree planting by patriotic citizens
who recognize the value of such
adornments to the psesent and
future. In no section of the country
can the custom of Arbor day he
observed with more propriety and
with better results than i'm Montana,
l trust the public schools will COM
menorate the occasion i'm the usual
manner. and that great benefit will
result to the state from the universal
observance Of the day"

Two Republics Or One?

But there is another view, most
sidered as affecting the solidity of
the United States as now constituted.
Until the present time the west has
been bound to the east by ties OF
parentage and home. The western
man who was sent to the senate or
the, house of representatives was born
i'm the east; the western merchant
who had accumulated little money
turned his face to the east to visit
the old homestead or the last resting
places of his parents. He loved the
east because it gave him birth. The
present generation i'm the west feels
no such thrill. is bound by no such
endearing tie. 1t is of the west,
western: it's has breathed n new
atmosphere. it has imbibed new
likes and dislikes. In the generations
which are yet to come the bond o1
sympathy will he still further re-
moved. The representative in the
Fifty-fourth congress from Wyoming,
until he visited Washington recently,
had never been east of Chicago.
There are men i'm California today to
whom Washington is as distant, in
every sense of the word. as China IL
to lls here in the east. When Presi,
dent Harrison went to the Pacific
slope n few years ago he was visi.
tor from a strange country. The
present chief executive has never

less set foot upon the broad domain

THE figures OF the New York World
claiming to demonstrate McKinley's
nomination Mt st. Louis on the first
ballot have brought out a counter cs-
innate by which IL is attem pied to be
shown that the Worlds figures are
fallacious and that in reality the
Ohioan on the first ballot cannot pos
sibly obtain over 233 votes, the re-
mainder being distributed among the
other candidates. all OF whom are
ready to combine against him.
Since the latest estimate gives Me
kinley 20i votes already, it does not
appear that the alleged fallacy of the
Worlds figures il or can be clearly
shown. He only lacks 20 now OF the
233 and il he cannot corrall more
than that number in the next three
and-a-half months he had better
withdraw before the convention
opens. But there is exactly rs much
probability that he will not get over
233 votes on the first ballot as there
Is that he can be induced to Withdraw
mt all.

State elections this year preceding
the presidential election are not
numerous and are OF minor import

way the wind begins to blow. The
great October states OF the past. in
GLIDING Ohio, Pennsylvania and In

no election until that OF Nov. 3,

publican majority in Rhode Island
for president in 1892 was 1851. for
governor in April, 1894, was 6.3O7
and for governor in 1895 was 10, sO9.
Rhode Island is one of the states
that still holds annual elections.
A state election will be held in
Louisiana April 81. The democrats
