Prnhah Y IL Is Not True.

Liberal allowance must be made TOT
one of yesterdays dispatches whlch re-
fer,s to the rumor of an interchange od
correspondence between Queen victoria
ana her daughter, who is the mother OF
the German emperor. The letter al
dressed TO the queen of England Is saiu
TO explain the policy" of the emperor
assuring the queen THAT at Berlin there
Is no rilrought of darkening the evening
cf tine Queens life by an Anglo-Saxon
war.
TT ia safe to assume that the emperor
of Germany has not commissioned his
roother TO explain his policy to the
queen or to the Prince of Wales or TO
ANYBODY else. Relations ait the Berlin
court were severely strained, soon after
the emperor's coronation, because OF
what was alleged to be undue English
6nfiuence-the young emperor had some
very pronounced views of his own ON
the subject. That the emperor should
cause 90 be sent to London certain as
surances which are at variance with
what was talked at Berlin last week
seems improbable And 1t is certain
rihat any assurances of the sort would
not find a hearty response just at this
time with the Berlin public.
1t may be that the emperor does not
propose to get involved in war, but his
recent talk is in evidence that he Is
willing to let THE war clouds hang over
Europe for a time; that is a diversion
AZ nothing else. and the emperor has
some SUBJECTS who need diverting.
The woman Davidson who figures In
San Francisco's latest scandal, has q
record that extends from sea to sea

are familiar with her career. The po'

cisco that the woman Is dangerous and
in every way dishonest. Mrs. Davidson

Mr.. Hills Pan,

Probably Senator Hill made up his
mind to get even with the tattlers in
Washington who are always alleging
his engagement TO marry this woman
or that Many of these gossips are
women who hang on the outskirts of
society as reporters or supposed
specialists. II think II would be a good
idea" said the senator. If the women
were ordered out of Washington and
the men left here 10 attend TO the bust

The New York senator had in mind
the social function and the elaborate
high life that is of so great account in
washington. Doubtless some pretty
good men in the public service surren-
der altogether too much time to soci-

Their Usual Nav.

When Ii comes to any comment ON
the silver question, the goldbug organs
are fond of calling names.
As the readers of the Standard are
aware. a deal was made as 1he result
of which the republicans captured the
organization of THE senate at Washing
ton. The bargain was that the silver
senators would permit the republicans
10 control the senai,e provided the sill
yer men were given a majority in the
committee on finance-Mr. TeEer was
one of the senators who said that this
arrangement had been made.
A wall went up from the goldbug
press when this report got abroad. The
answer of the republican politicians in
the senate was than the republicans II
the house ccusd be depended on, m any
event, ITO vote free coinage down. That
was well enough in its way, but It was
not satisfactory TO Jlhe newspapers that
were chagrlned 10 find go,dbugs yield

the sake of political control Of the SEN

of high functions. Mr.. Hill is not
society man either at pink teas or In
the club houses.
II Mr.. Hill wants the business OF the
country expedited in congress- he can
undertake a crusade that would ac-
complish more than the Punishment OF
woman would. Let Mr.. Hill take the
floor, promise not to waste the senate
time hereafter in talk that is idle ana
persuade other senators who talk TOO
much to follow his example. This very
morning the press reports tell OF time

In its day the city of Butte has been
as much lied about as any town in the
world. Tourists like to make 1t appear
that in Butte they have had some gen.
uine midwest experiences, and they
invent all sorts of curdling reports
merely to make themselves the heroes
of an adventure. Several eastern news
papers have lately quoted from the
Chicago Post a crazy yarn involving
beer hall, a rich jeweler, and a lot OF
drunken army officers who are assumed
in the story to be stationed at Butte.
OF course, there was plenty of shoot
ing. The rich jeweler played the beer
hall piano, sang songs, got clear of the
guns and then bought $4,000 worth OF
goods, just the same as If nothing had
happened The Standard quotes on
another page this morning this latest
invention in the line of literature, the
object of which is to make Butte appear
needlessly tough.

Perhaps another warcloud will soon
be visible above THE horizon. Recently
money has been raised in this country
in aid OF the suffering Armenians. and
ARRANGEMENTS made for it's prompt dis
tribution among the needy. The Turk
dsh government is out, through its lega-
tion at Washington, with the announce
ment that Ut will not allow the distri-
button of the fund within the Turkish
domain That Us a novelty on Turkeys
part; the wonder is that the sultan did
not permit the money to get safely
within his territory and then let his
secret agents hold up those who had the
fund in charge. Benevolent people were
ready and willing to furnish food ana
shelter for the distressed Armenians,
but manifestly the sultan is not Salts
fed to have any humane work started
amongst those whom his ambition Is to
crush. Probably he is technically with
in his rights i'm the announcement made
through the Turkish legation, and thus
THE unhappy Armenians will be denied
the charities of the Christian world.

from Washington. The war spirit has

Now and Next June.

II Mr.. Platt's political word given In
January holds good till June, Governor
Morton will worry several gentlemen
who are hoping to be white-house ten
ants next year. Mr.. Platt was in
Washington a few days ago ana the
republican congressman from New
York were in pursuit of him, anxious
70 find what the Morton talk means.
Mr.. Platt spoke with freedom. Accord
ing to his way of telling it the Morton
boom is a very substantial affair. Mr..
Platt says that the governor will have
New York's seventy-two votes in the
convention.
Several New York congressman want
to give Reed a lift, and they were
anxious to get Platt's notion as to the
second-choice men. All they learned
was that. as far as Mr.. Platt Is con-
cerned. no second choice is to be
thought Of To a newspaper reporter
who sounded the ex-senator on TINS
question the reply was that New
York's second choice will be one of the
last things considered in the national
convention"
Whatever the rest of them think
! about II. Governor Morton Is satisfied
| that the Plat strength is his first, last
| and all the time. The governor Is soon
/ to take a swing through several of the
states and he is booked for receptions
in Chicago and elsewhere that will have
