Wasted PITY.

The Great Falls Tribune is full of
pity for the Republican papers of this
state which did not desert the party
and give their support to VIM. j..
Bryan, the blatant free trader and
disciple of Altgeld. This manifesto
ton of pity developed last week when
Senator Mantle offered an amend
ment to the wool schedule of the
Dingley bill. The Tribune regards
Mr.. Nantes action as one OF great
magnanimity after the treatment he
received last fall from papers repre-
senting the woolgrowing interests Of
the state. We, for one, don't look at
1t i'm that light. Mr.. Mantle claims
to be n Republican and a protection
list and as senator from Montana he
is expected to look after the interests
of IN industries of his state-not
one but all of them. Should Mr..
Mantle turn his back upon the other
Industries of the state because free
silver did not win? Had Mr.. Bryan
been elected the woolgrOwers Of this
/ a "bhfu " I"Ne ONStNt oIit
iota of protection. Mr.. Mantle was
perfectly well aware of that. And
there was no assurance of the free
coinange of silver had MI. Bryan
been elected. His election was pos
sible without his party securing either
house of congress-. In thatcase what
could Mr.. Mantle do for either wool
or silver? He could get no silver
legislation while n protective meas
ure would have been vetoed by Mr..
Bryan. A Democratic president would
have had control of the patronage,
the chief aim OF Bryan and his lieu
tenants, while the Industries of the
country would have remained at a
standstill.
Mr.. Mantle should rejoice that he
is in a position to do something fol-
woolgrowers, that he can do moro
for his state with Mckinley president
than would have been possible will
Bryan.
Soon after Mr.. Mckinley was in
augurated it was reported that Mr.
Mantle assured him of his support in
tariff legislation, and it was wei
known in this section that he would
render the woolgrowers what aid IN
could.
We dare say no Mckinley Republi
can paper in this state has an!
regrets or apologies to make, eithel
for its attitude oru%tterances last fall
as regards parties, issues or men.
Mr.. Mantle is in a position to dc
much to heal the breach in the part,
in this state if he sees fit, and he viii
be given due credit for whatever h,
does ON those lines.
Furthermore, whether the presen
wool schedule is amended or not il
the senate, it will be better than FREE
wool and afford some q
relief from the past depression tina
has well nigh stranded the industry
But it is to be hoped that Mr.. Mantle
amendment will receive favorabl
consideration.

Congress has appropriated $500, 0OO
for the relief Of the flood sufferers OF
the lower Mississippi and the Dako-
tas. While some do not approve OF
government aid i'm such cases, there
Is precedent for this action and we
believe it iscommendable when such
II calamity has befallen any section
of the country. 1t is n charity that
enlists the sympathy of the wholena-
ton and as the assistance must be
prompt and ample it is the best way
to accomplish the desired result.
Possibly as much could he raised by
popular subscription but the process
would have been too slow to relieve
immediate suffering. We believe the
generous people of America will en-
derse the action of congress and the
president i'm this matter. Party lines
were obliterated in voting aid to the
afflicted people.

The Spring Elections.

The trite saying of Bob Ingersoll's
that 1.-THE Democratic party always
takes a trick when there il nothing
in the pct" will apply very nicely to
the result of II spring elections. Mr..
Bryan and hisfollowers will endeavor
to extract some comfort from the
victory I'm Chicago, DETROIT and Gin
cinnati though, as a matter Of fact,
they have no Significance as regards
national issues.
In Chicago there We're six tickets in
the field. The Republican strength
was divided between Harlan and
Sears, the former standing as the
business mems candidate for mayor
while the latter vas IN regular Re
publican organization nominee, or
whom the Harlan supporters termed
the machine candidate.
Carter II. Harrison, the son of the
former mayor Of Chicago, was the
regular Democratic nominee, and had
a united party behind him. He is u
young man without any experience
in public affairs, but had n strong pull
from the fact that he was the ..son
of his father" who was the most
popular man in Chicago before his
death. Young Harrison also stood
for that "wide open policy" that
| appeals to n large element in Chicago
az it does in every large city. So far
as the silver issue is concerned this
man Harrison avoided it as much as
possible-even staying away from a
meeting OF a silver club where he was
announced to speak. Had the Re
publicans united their strength on "a
good, representative business man
the result would probably have been
different, though it is difficult to get
out N full Republican vote in an off
year. The pot" is not worth striv-
ing for.
Detroit had bee a Democratic city
for years before Pingree became
mayor, but his attempt to name his
successor did not meet with favor.
Cincinnati is reliably Republican
when voting on national issues,
though it occasionally swings into
the Democratic column at municipal
elections.
In the state elections of Michigan
and Rhode Island the Republicans
We're successful, and Michigan was
classed as a doubtful state last fall.
st. Louis, where bourbonism liz
rock-rooted, and in a state where
Bryan is worshipped as a silver god,
the Republicans elected the mayor
and a majority Of city officers.
But, if the Organizes "a get any
comfort out of the municipal elections
of the east. Republicans should feel
elated over the result in Montana.
Even Anaconda, where everything
is supposed to be pulled by silver
wires, in the hands of one man, a
Republican mayor and several other
municipal officers were elected. Even
the Standard could not pull its man
Twohy in out of the cold. Possibly
this may have no bearing On nation
al politics, but it has fully as much
as the city elections in the east. That
any man running for Office under the
name Republican in Marcus Daly's
bailiwick should win out, is truly
surprising.

NEW YORK WOOL WAREHOUSE.
Advantages to the wooIgrowers Offered by
the New Company.

The Minneapolis Tribune of the 9Th
inst. contained an extended inter-
view with j. c. McQuaig, a promi-
nent s~heepraiser of Dupuyer, Teton
county. concerning the advantages
of New Brighton as a feeding ground
and the methods inaugurated by the
New York Wool Warehouse Co. Up
on the latter subject the Tribune
says:
I'm New York Mr.. McQuaig de-
voted considerable time to the newly
formed New York Wool Exchange,
which wOolgrowers generally think
is going to be II great boon to their
business. This will be the exchanges
first season and If it does what il
promises to there is every reason to
believe that the wool commission
men will have to retire from the bust
ness.
1.-The exchange said Mr.. Me-
Quaig, 'is a cooperative institution,
membership i'm which is offered to all
the wool men of the country. Its Oh.
ject is to leave the handling of his
own wool to the shipper until it il
finally disposed of. In the past the
woolgrOwer has been compelled to
ship his wool to commission men
who charge him a large commission
and use their own time and judgment
i'm selling. Now the wool will bt
sent directly to the warehouse of the
exchange, which has just been com
pleted, with a capacity of 5O.OOO, 90,
pounds. The officials of the exchang,
will advise the shipper by wire as tt
the condition of the market and h,
can order the sale whenever h,
pleases, taking advantage of the higl
prices or holding on a low market
The commission charged will be onl,
One-tenth of n per cent, which is ,
saving of about II cents n pound a
