ries of the sultan, 80 as to give her al
lies the larger share, putting Russia on
with Armenia.
The partition now outlined is strfk-
ingly different from this. Russia is to
have not only Armenia. but ConStanti-
nople, and of course. the adjacent ter
ritories to the Mediterranean. This will
make her protectress of the Danubian
Kingdoms and principalities. and mis-
tress of the Levant. the dominant pow
er in the Mediterranean. 1t is highly
probable. too. that she will have all of
Asia Minor north of Syria. That and
Palestine are to go TO France, so that
England's two great rivals will flank
her route to India England, II Is said.
will have Egypt and a strip on the Per-
sian gulf That is, she may keep what
she has and be thankful that IL Is not
taken from her. The rest of the dlvi-
sion is not given but IL is probable that
Austria will extend her bounds to the
Aegean. and that Italy will get Tripoli.
Germany's share is not specified. Ii
ought to be a large one, but ii may be
i'm some other part of the world. since
she has no interests on the Mediter-
ranean.
The important thing about this ar
rangement is that II is imposed upon
Great Britain by a coalition of all the
continental powers. IL is a distinct de-
feat of British pollcy-such a defeat as
that nation, in the time of its VigOr.
would not have accepted until ex-
hausted by war. If II shall be accepted
without war now. as seems not improb
able, II will mark plainly the decline of
the British empire. as II marks the rise
of Russia to the leadership of nations.
Whether the arrangement will be ac-
cepted peaceably by Turkey or whether
IL will have to be enforced by Russian
arms. does not yet appear. That is an
unimportant detail The humiliation of
Turkey is a matter OF course. IT is the
humiliation OF Great Britain that in
terests and delights the world.

Flutes TubIic building.

Great Falls Tribune: Butte is maxi
ton from congress for a public build
ing in that city. For this the busi-
ness men of that city are to be COM
mended. 1t would be economy on the
part of the government to put up a
suitable building in that great city
rather than pay the rent for quarters
for its offices. as is being done at pres
ent. There should be a federal build
ing in Butte, but we fear that ii will
be some time before one is erected.
This is a presidential election year and
Speaker Reed, who is a candidate for
the nomination at the hands of his
party, has given il out that all appro-
priations must be pared and that those
for public buildings in the West es-
pecially will not be given consldera-
ton. How do the people of Butte and
Montana like the situation. or, to be
more specific, how do the republicans
view IL, and what effect will IL have on
the coming election? Self preserva-
ton is the first law of nature. The
republican leaders. including Reed. are
against us on the financial question,
and now they are showing their en-
nifty by antagonizing a small appro-
priation for a much-needed public
building. 1t may be that the Montana
republicans will lick the hand that
smites them and vote for the republi-
can nominees, but we hope that they
will not.

Portland Oregonian: The latest story
of the partition Of the Turkish empire
seems to be made up OF fact and sur
mise, which do not always harmonic.
II is probably true that Russia has a
powerful fleet in the Black sea, ready
for action in the spring. 1t is proba-
bly, true that she has a powerful army
in the Caucasus. ready to march into
Armenia as soon as the SHOWS melt. II
is probably true that these preparations
forebode the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and ex-
tinction of the Turkish empire. perhaps
with some provision for maintenance
OF the personal luxury and dignity Of
the sultan and for the liberation Of the
Mohammedan religion.

Troubles of the Profesh.

Yellowstone Valley Recorder: At
least two of the press gang of Mon
tana are in the tolls for libel more or
less pronounced. Brother Vrooman of
the Lewistown Argus made some plain
statements regarding a citizen of that
burg, alleging that he was seen in the
act of extracting a roll from the pock-
ct of a drunken companion. Said citi-
zen demands $1,000 indemnity but
Vrooman may be able to prove his
statement.
Old man Faulds Is in much deeper
trouble at Stevensville; his paper, the
Northwest Tribune, after enjoying the
county printing plum for a term of
years, was let out by the last board
Now the old man thought that he had
a cinch, so began and ended by calling
the county official everybody" and
everything uncomplimentary. The
board got even by digging up old
printing bills in which the old man
had overcharged the county for print
ing. During the life of his contract he
had raised the limit $420.29, so said an
expert accountant. And now, besides
having a suit against him to recover
that $420.29, Faulds is indicted for Ii
bel, the sheriff has attached and closed
his print shop, and he is in a hard
boat all through. The moral is plain,

The rec $ an outrage.

Great Falls Tribune: Governor Rick
ards has returned from his visit to
the national capital and in an inter-
view states that journey was in all
respects a satisfactory one to him. He
has enlisted the good offices of the
secretary of state in the effort to re-
move the troublesome Cree Indians,
and 1t is possible that the much de-
sired contamination will be reached at
some period not too far distant. When,
is the question. Now is the time, but
great people in the diplomatic ranks
move slowly. If they do not get gait
on them at an early date, the chances
are that Montana will have to estab-
lish and maintain an international law
of its own. Word comes from Billings
that the loathsome disease, smallpox.
has broken out in the camp of the In
dams near that city and has been COM
municated TO a couple of white settlers
in the neighborhood. A couple of years
ago typhoid fever broke out in a camp
of these pests near Butte and it cost
the county of Silver Bow several
thousands of dollars to quarantine,
feed and attend them during its prev
alence. Probably Yellowstone county
will have a like experience with the
smallpox. This is an outrage. Mon
tana should be able to protect itself.

Big Timber Express: Senator VOL
colts unexpected attack upon the
Monroe doctrine, while not likely to
destroy that doctrine, which existed
before the brilliant Junior senator
from Colorado entered public life and
will probably continue to exist long
after he retires, is deeply regretted by
his republican friends. The republican
party has from its birth believed in
and advocated the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine, and ii will continue
to do so, even without the approval of
Mr.. Wolcott. Senator Wolcott has
many admirers in congress and he de-
serves them all, but like other orators,
he has a weakness for sometimes TAX
ing the unpopular side of a public
question in order to make a speech
that will create a sensation. Ordinar-
lily such speeches do no great amount
of harm, but this speech will be quoted
all over Europe as tending to show
that the people of the United States
are not united in the support of the
Monroe doctrine, and to that extent
IL is calculated to weaken the prestige
of the United States. Mr.. Wolcott's
concluding words were highly COM
mandatory. and directly in line with
the senate resolution, calling upon the
European governments, which have a
treaty right to interfere. to protect the
Christians of Armenia from Turkish
persecution. He said: Whatever of
advancement and of progress for the
human race, the centuries shall bring

The West and the East.

Great Falls Leader: A western man
is reported to have said that western
ers have wearied of the contemptuous
treatment to which they have been sub
jected by eastern people and have de-
termined to unite on the silver ques-
ton, not alone because of their con-
victions on the subject, but to prove
to the East that the West must be
shown some consideration. That in
the future IL will neither be ignored
nor dealt with as II ii was merely the
home of outside barbarians. II this
is the object of our congressman in the
stand they have taken, they have
brought the lesson home to the East
in a way ii is impossible to misunder-
stand, and the West will henceforth
be regarded with the wholesome re-
spect 1t has so well earned.
