The commissioner of the general land
is just ard az the same time worry inn
portant to the people of Montana, and
n that will meet with approval. II
Was in a contest filed by the Northern
Pacific against tho classification of cor
tain land in Deer Lodge county rs min
eral by tho United States mineral land
commission. The contest was first
heard before the local land Office at IIol.
ena and the classification by the commits
sion sustained. The railroad took an
appeal to the general land Office and
Commissioner LamoreauX atIirms tho
action of the Helena land Office and, in
effect, decides that in any attack upon
tho findings Of the mineral land com
mission as to the character OF land, the
railroad company must provo beyond
question that it is not mineral land.
After revising tho testimony that had
been taken in the case, Commissioner
LRmoroauX concludes his decision as
follows,
"Tho land having been classified as
mineral, the burden Of proof is upon the
railroad company to prove its non
minera. character. This tho evidence
has failed to establish. The fact that
the land is not now held and worked ss
mineral does not establish its non
mineral character, for there arc thou6-
ands Of acres of such mineral lands.
The question is whether mineral exists
in such quantities as to justify expendi-
ture in tho effort to secure it. Tho
character of the land claimed as mineral
must be shown by actual production or
satisfactory evidence that mineral exists
in paying quantities. The operation of
the company'a Witnesses docs not consti-
tuto evidence of its non-eXistonce, but on
the contrary was OF the most superficial
character and confined TO surface indi.
cations. No attempt was made to cX-
plorc the land, On tho contrary tno wit
neesoe who have in apparent good faith
frequently examined the land, swear
that it cohtains mineral in paying guam
titles and give good reasons for its non.
development, and that it is their inton.
ton to d~eve!op'the mineral capacity OF
the land. The evidence submitted fully
sustains your decision and fails to over
turn the mineral classification of the
land. Your decision is accordingly here.

missioner indicates q determination to

UNITY Is NEEDED.

The democratic state convention Of
Montana will soon assemble, and by far
the most important duty it will perform
will be the selection Of an electoral
ticket. The state ie entitled to three
electors and the plan of the Cascade
county democrats is that the ticket be
divided between the democrats, the pop-
uliat and the silver republicans, The
democratic national convention was the
first to declare for free coinage and nom
mate Bryan, and it ia fitting that the
state convention of the party should take
the initiative in securinga union Of all
the silver forces in order that the full
strength OF the silver sentiment in the
state may be demonstrated. It will
hardly be seriously denied that 70 per
cent OF the people OF Montana are for
free coinage; the question is Us to the
proper method to solidify this vote in a
n that will produce the best re-
suits. II will not be argued that this
can be done by playing at cross pur-
poses, nor will it he said that
will not have a good effect in the east.
The action of the silver forces in Mon
tana will be on object lesson that will
be utilized for good or evil in other sec
tons, This being the case, it is a duty
the democracy owes the cause to make
an honorable effort in the direction of
harmony. The democratic and populist
state conventions will DO in session at
the same time, though in different cities,
that Of the republicans will convene a
week later. 1t may then be asked how
can an agreement be reached? The
answer is that it car be done without
trouble if the parties are in earnest.
Let the democrats adopt a resolution
setting forth the plans of an elector for
each party. This can be communicated
by telegraph to the populists for their
action. Ii accepted, we'll and good; if re-
Jected, the democrats will have done
their duty, and the failure will rest with
the populigts, and at this time it may
be well to mention that the proposed
fusion Of the electoral ticket ia TO be alb
aolptoly Independent of and divorced
from any other proposition, and is no!
to he contingent upon or mixed up with
possible negotiations for a fusion state
ticket. If the populista stick to Watson
md conclude to nominate a straighr
electoral ticket, the democrats will have
no recoureo but to name two ]eIector'
and loaYe the third place open for the
silver republicans. TO the officers OF thu
democratic state convention or Of the
state committee can be delegated the
duty of informing the silver republicans
OF this conclusion, and Of placing thu
name selected by the silver republicans
upon the democratic ticket, That thu
silver republicans will enter into thu

plan goes without saying. Some. demo-
Gratis may urge that a straight dem
ocratic electoral ticket be nomi-
mated as the silver republicans
would be forced to accept it. This is
probably true, but there is no justifica.
ton for it in good morals or good politics.
We expect the silver republicans to
assist in the election of Bryan and
Sewall and there is no legitimate reason
why they should not be given credit for
their votes. 70 compel them to sink
their identity in the democratic ticket
would be a species of political petit larce-
ny that men should not be guilty of. We
therefore hope that the Cascade plan Of
a%malgamation will be carried out by tho
democrats.

MIR. Hanna is in New York demanding
moro money from the bankers, the
trusts, the manufacturers and the great
railroad corporations. He is alarmed at
the situation and makes no conrcalmcnt
Of his opinion that only by the most lay
ish use Of money is there any hope for
the election of Mckinley. He is now
quite ready to admit that the states of
the middle west are doubtful and can
only be counted as eafc by resort to the
most extraordinary measures. Accord
ing to the New York Sun, Hanna has
determined upon a plan Of campaign for
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Min
%ncsota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas
and probably West Virginia and Mary
land. For these states he proposes
what he calls Il missionary campaign.
He intends to flood each of them with
reliable men to make an alleged house
TO house canVass and argue politics
with the inmates, each of the
missionaries to be assigned Il
certain field and remain in it until cleo
ton. This scheme involves the outlay
or an Immense eum of money even
though 1t won't no farther than Hanna
would have bis purpose appear on tho
surface, But who thinks il will stop at
argument: Iio is not that kind OF q
man, He believes in tho power Of money
in p]olitice, and his agents who will mike
the canvass will remain in their
folds until election day, provided
with cash to exchange for votes, il
the exchange can be made. This is why
the chairman is in New York clamoring
for money. The Mckinley campaign
was started in corruption and must be
carried on in the same name or it will
have to be abandoned at once. But in
connection with this purchasing agent
business there arises a question. They

CULLOM'S VIEW,

Senator Cullom of Illinois made a
speech at Springfield Saturday for Nc
Kinley, and, among other things, said:
"The only policy for the United States
to pursue in financial matters is that of
honesty and safety. No business man
coniides his dearest interests to the
management of enthusiasts ind unbal-
auced men. The utterances OF excited
assomblagos of men, of new.idoa theo-
riats, bent on establishing nov and IN
tried philosophy arc not to be taken for
tho guidance Of anybody"
Judged from this, Senator Cullom
novor heard Of free coinage until the
Chicago convention; did not know that
it had been in operation in the United
States from the foundation Of the gov
ernment until 1873. Regarding business
men and those to whom they look for
advice, it can be said that none Of them
ever go their open, avowed enemies, and
that is just what what the bankers, for
whom he spoke and whom Mckinley
represents, are to the people of this
country. The senator objected to what he
termed the utterances of excited assem-
blages OF men, yet he knew that among
the ardent advocates of the peoples
cause are many OF the most thoughtful,
experienced, and able students Of eco
nomics in this and other lands. The
senator counseled honesty to his hearers,
but he was anything but honest in his
statements and deductions.

ONLY A

There is a disposition on the part of
the gentlemen styling themselves the
national democratic party to have them
selves aud their every act viewed by the
people through a very large-sized mag
nifying glass. They do mol intend to
hide their light under a bushel. When
two or three of them get together, no
matter how insignificant a thing they
may do, it is heralded to the country in
language that would lead one to believe
that the movement is assuming formid-
able proportions. Thus VIC duly got ac-
counts of a gold democrat meeting in
some county of come state which tells us
that resolutions were adopted and dele
gates elected TO tho Indianapolis convon-
ton and that the utmost enthusiasm
prevailed. A case in point was the
meeting at Carlinsville, Macoupin coun-
ty, ILL.,, the home of Senator Palmer.
The meeting to elect county delegates to
the Illinois "sound money convention
was held there last Saturday. In on
nection with a report of the proceedings
the Associated Press sent out a
speech made by Senator Palmer that
occupied a column in the papers. BY
way of Introductory, the Senator was re-
ported to have expressed his regret at
the small number in attendance. but be-
You'd this no reference was made to the
beggarly array of empty benches. The
fact is, as we learn by a special to the
st. Louis Republic, there were just six
gentlemen present and their names are
given, and we are further informed that,
though the county was entitled to 10
delegates, only nine could be found who
would consent to be elected. This ia a
fair sample Of the strength of the sound
money third ticket party and shows how
utterly ridiculous are the pretonsions it
is putting forth through the press. Sen
ator Palmer is one OF the leaders OF the
movement, yet in his own home and
county he could only find six
men VINO were ready TO commit
themselves to the cause by attend
ing u meeting. Vet the gentlemen
ask Is to believe that they arc in earnest
in putting up a ticket, though they are
compelled to admit that they will have
hard work in securing a candidate. 1t
ig a case in which every man is willing
to sacrifice gOme one else. Grover C!evo-
land, Carlisl lie, Palmer, Wilson, Whitney
and a host Of other %goldbugs have been
mentioned and they all cay may very
cmphaticaIIy. This 10 a nomination that
is going d begging. That a convention
will be held is certain, what its mem
bership will be is uncertain, ana whether
it Can ecur0 Il victim is still more q
matter OF doubt. In any event the re-
suit will not be serious, for but few mon
can be found who are ready 10 throw
away their votes. The real goldbugs
will vote for Mckinley, those who are in
doubt will vote for Bryan, and the few
idiots will vote for the Indianapolis
nominee, if q man can be found who is
political idiot enough to accept the job.

cording to it's plain intent. 1t will
give encouragement to the prospectore
and is a fair notice to the railroad COM
pany that it must be content with the
munificent grant Of agricultural lands
granted it by the government and keep
it's hands off the mineral lands that we're
expressly reserved to the people. The
company will no doubt appeal to the
secretary of the interior, for in spite of
the declaration of the officers of the road
that 1t did not desire to gobble up min
eral lands, the fact that it has filed nu-
merone contests ia an evidence that it
proposes to claim everything within the
area OF it's grant that is not actually used
for mining purposes. 1t is to bo hoped
that the secretary of the interior will view
tho matter in the same light as the com
missioner Of the land Office, and notify
the company that while it can have its
pound Of flesh, it is not entitled to one
drop of blood.
