There is considerable curiosity to
know what course Senator Wolcott
will pursue in the future, now that
the effort 10 secure International bi.
metallism has failed. 1t is not likely
that he will cast his fortunes with
Jones, Stewart, Teller and Pettigrew
in the senate, and he has no faith In
Bryan or the Democratic party &C
complishing anything for silver,
From his u~tterances last fall it Is not
possible that he believes in independ'
ent bimetallism by this country. Mr..
Wolcott is a very able man and
should not destroy his usefulness by
initiating Senator Teller.

Brigadier General Wade, command
ing the department OF the Dakota,
has recommended the abandonment
of forts Custer and Assinniboine. Oh
the former the general says 1t is in
the worst condition of any post he
has seen for twenty years. That to
reconstruct it would be impractica-
BILE and unnecessary. The condition
of the wateris also given as a reason
for Clusters abandonment, 1t being
alleged that 1t is contaminated from
sewerage at the Crow Creek Agency,
Concerning Assinniboine, General
Wade says the post was necessary
when established, but that necessity
has ceased to exist. The Withdrawal
of the troops from these posts Is In
the line OF the policy pursued fol
many years. Such forts as Harrison
will be strengthened, they being sc
situated that troops could be moved
promptly in any direction therefrom

Senator Mantle visited Great Falls
last week and was interviewed by
a reporter for the Leader. Asked as
TO what he thought of the political
situation in this state he said:
"Well, that is something on which
/ am somewhat at sea at b present
time. Ibelieve it to be OF h utmost
importance that the organization oil
the silver Republicans be kept up. i
shall be very sorry to see a split In
the Republican party of Montana on
this question, but should that prove
inevitable, 1 hope that both sides will
part at the forks Of the road with
kindly feeling, one for the other, 30
that should it become possible at any
time in the future for them to reunite
by a settlement of the silver ques'
tion-they will be able to do 80 the
more readily"
The kindly spirit of the above ID
creditable to Mr.. Mantle. 1t may bt
possible for all Republicans to unite
on state officers, and we believe
great majority of Mckinley Republi
cans entertain a high regard for Mr.
Mantle, but II 1t comes to endorsing
the Chicago platform, Charley Hart
man and w. J. Bryan, the cup will
have to pass. No such nauseatine
dose would go down.

The Yellowstone Journalin a recent

The Yellowstone Journalin a recent
issue said:
The Bryan papers of the west vie
with the goldbug papers of the east
in rejoicing over the assumed failure
of the Wolcott commission. This
sympathetic union would appear
strange and unreasonable had 1t not
been demonstrated time and again
by the Bryan gang that their cham
pionship Of silver is purely political.
To which statement the Inter
Mountain fires a challenge. saying:
1t contains not a particle of truth.
Therei s not q silver manin Montana,
Republican or Democrat or POpulist,
who entertains or has expressed any
feeling hut one of sincere regret over
the failure of the American monetary
commission.
Now, to prove that the Yellow
stone Journal was right In one in
stance, at least. The Helena indie
pendent in replying to a similar
statement in the Herald, says:
You are right that Joy fills the
Democratic heart because Great
Britain rejected those disgraceful
overtures.
The Inter Mountain should keep q
closer tab on its Democratic ally be
fore It challenges the statements of
Republican papers.

Inter Ocean: The essential and
obvious fact of the operation of the
new tariff upon wool and manufac-
lures thereof Ia that thus far 1t has
not increased the price of clothing.
1t is very probable, however, that 1t
has improved the quality OF the
cheaper grades. Under the Wilson
bill we imported 5000. 900 pounds OF
shoddy in n year; under the Nc
Kinley bill our importations aver
aged much less than 1000, 900 pounds;
in one year they fell as low as go
900 pounds. Under the increased
duties OF the Dingley bill these vile
importations may fall to the low
level Of the Mckinley year. But the
consumption Of pure wool OF Ameri-
can growth has been stimulated.
Although our markets still are bur.
dened by large remnants Of the great
importations made during the last
year of the Wilson tariff, American
manufacturers now are consuming
more wool than at any time since
1892.
The increased demand for Ameri.
can wool has benefited the wool
growers without adding to the
outlay Of the purchaser OF clothing
The windows OF every store are In
evidence that the price of clothing
Is not higher today than 1t was q
year ago; but the price Of American
wool has advanced 8 cents perpound
between September, 1896. and Octo'
Der, 1897. Eight cents per pound on
the price Of wool means very much to
the farmer, but to the purchaser o.
a suit of clothes 1t cannot mean more
than so cents, for q very few pounds
of wool, added to the weight of lin
ing and padding, make a heavy suit
But In the fierceness OF competition
1T hardly is possible that the increas'
of 80 cents can be made; the seller
lessons his profit on the single suit
and gains on the larger number o
sales that are the result Of the larger
purchasing power that always fol
lows the enforcement of a protective
tariff.

Register claims Iowa for Shaw rep
by 5000. Estimated that this will
be increased to 10000 by country
districts. Returns from about one
fourth OF zoos precincts indicate
that the State shows Republican plu
rality of about 10000. These return,
are from all parts of the state, in

Spain holds this government re-
sponsible for the continuance Of the
Cuban rebellion by not putting a
stop to filib~ustering expeditions. In
asmuch as the government has ex.
pended over g. 900 900 in this direc.
ton, Spain's contention is somewhat
insolent. The people of the United

The Democratic editors OF Illinois,
In their recent convention at Chicago,
adopted resolutions endorsing the
Chicago platform of 1896 and sent
greetings to VIM. Jennings Bryan,
But they also had warm words for
young Carter Harrison, who may
side-track Bryan in $4,000. In any
event the Chicago platform will be
sufficient to swamp any party that
endorses it three years hence.
