Chief Means of Defense Among All Old
World Apes.

Chief Means of Defense Among All Old
World Apes. .....
Among all old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats for
mates Or tribal supremacy. The CANNES
are III most cases enormously developed,
insomuch that i'll informed naturalists
have suggested that near relationship
must exist between the primates and
the carnivora. AS Il matter Of fact, these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with alimentation, but are as purely
weapons of war as are the bayonet and
the maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy,
obstinacy and courage they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the deyil-as such things are
understood in pithecoid society-the
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbiters Of war To become great
and powerful anthropoid it is absolute
ly and brutally necessary to have a
large and strong jaw, to give firm at
tachment to the teeth and good leverage
to the muscles That for an immense
epoch our prehuman ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as clear
as the print of ''Maga' to those who
have learned to read natures handwrit-
ing.
Since those days of true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become bewilder-
inulv cnmplny and 0yr NJ of bo1c for cot
tling social difficulties have changed
generally for the better. But here, as in
60 many other instances, the habits of a
past age have left an indelible impress
on the nervous system. g

The Helena correspondent of the Butte
Miner writes that paper that the state
"senate is tired" and wants to adjourn.
The senate may be tired-we hope it is
but we doubt if it is as weary as the
people who sent that legislature to Hell
ena. If the senate should succeed in
bringing about an adjournment sine die
tomorrow, as is now intimated, the people
of the state will rise up and call them
blessed. There are some good, able and
honest men in the present legislature,
but they are so woefully in the minority
that no good can possibly come to the
people from such mixture, and the
sooner the last roll is called the better it
will be for all concerned.

The United States senate and house of
representatives jointly canvassed the re-
turns Of the general election of Novem-
ber last, on Wednesday of last week, at
the national capitol. Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts announced the result of
the canvass as follows: "The state of
the vote for president and vice president
of the United States as found by the
tellers is: Whole number of electors
447; of which majority is 224. William
Mckinley of Ohio has received 271 votes
for president and w. j. Bryan of Nebras-
ka has received 176 votes. The state of
the vote for vice-president is: Garret A.
Hobart has received 271 votes, Arthur
Sewall 149 votes and Thomas E. Watson

PODulistic Deals.


Some of our state EXCHANGES which
held up their hands in holy horror over
a reported deal in the Legislature, where
by votes were promised for the proposed
new county of Powell in exchange for
votes for the initiative and referendum
fad, make light of another reported deal
which resulted in the defeat of the pro-
posed new county. The Leader was not
in the least interested in the proposed
county of Powell, and only knew of the
proposed owellreferendum deal from
Its Helena correspondent, and from indi-
cations which pointed to some under
standing having been reached between
the friends of the two measures. Neither
has it any definite inform tion respecting
the deal which resulted in the defeat of
Powell county. The Butte Miner claims
the deal was made on the basis of giving
the populists control of municipal affairs
IN Butte next spring, in return for the
populist votes in the legislature against
Powell county. The Miner may be right
and it may not; but there is one thing
very sure some means were taken to
switch the populist votes from support
ing Powell county to opposing it.
There is no doubt in the world that the
Anaconda people We're badly scared about
Powell county, there is practically no
doubt that the Powell county adherents
thought they could rely on the popu!ists
supporting their measure; aud there is
no doubt that the democratic members
interested in Powell county voted for the
initiative and referendum. Suddenly
just the night before the Powell county
vote was taken-the situation changed,
and from comfortable majority the
Powell county votes dwindlcd to a small
minority. The advisability of creating
Powell county is not under consideration
perhaps it should not have been Gre
ated-that is not the question. THETA ct
remains that had it passed it would have
done so by disreputable methods, and
that 1t has been defeated by equally dis
reputable methods From this we can
gather two useful facts for future guild
ance in Montana politics: Never think
that Marcus DAILY is beaten until the
game is ended, and don't think that pop
ulist votes can be depended upon until
they are delivered.-Great Falls Leader.

right. Yet, in the light of all the facts,
this is not so, for to the Deer Lodge peo-
pie it seemed loyal to support their own
county town in the contest. Mistakenly
or otherwise, it was thus that they viewed
it, and it is safe to say they acted in the
matter as any other people would have
naturally done under similar circum-
stances.
All in all, the decay of Deer Lodge
will present a sad spectacle to the state.
1t is lovely village, in which natures
picturesque and sublime harmonies are
attractively blended, with its winding
river, peaceful groves and fields, and its
beautiful homes, shadowed by ancient
trees and encompassed by green spread
ing and tlower-decked lawns, while
around and above all look down the torn
and fissured sleeps of snow-capped
mountain peaks.

Adding Insult to Injury,

The Standards strain of amusement
failed to show up all during the fight
over the Powell county bill, but when
that measure had been defeated it fairly
bubbled over. 1t rubs it into Deer Lodge
in such way as to thoroughly and
etfectnally picture the barbarism of the
Anaconda gang. With the Rothschilds
fairly at the helm in Anaconda, her peo-
pie will live to see the time when they
will vince and whine under the lash
which they now apply to men Of man
hood and honor who refuse to truckle to
the powers that be.-Philipsburg Call.

The Powell county bill, in advocacy of

able of it's space during the past month,
was defeated in the house last Friday by
vote of 43 to 1S. Private advices are

CRETE AND CUBA.

Directly south of Greece, in the tide
less Mediterranean Sea, lies the beauti-
full Island Of Crete, now commanding the
attention of the civilized world, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. The history of
Crete is analogous to that of Cuba.
There, in the far-off blue waters of the
Mediterranean, in the lowlands and the
steep mountain passes, the Sphakiots of
Crete are fighting against Turkish tyr
amy as the Cubans are battlieg against
the oppressive Spanish yoke.
The present insurrection in Crete,
which may involve the whole of Europe
in a general war, resulted from the eff
forts of the Christians in trying to annex
the island to Greece. This time it seems
they are to be aided in their efforts Be
hind the scenes may be plainly seen the
crafty hand Of English diplomacy. The
partition of Turkey has long been de-
sired by Great Britain, but she did not
feel ready to take the initiative step.
Great Britain desires to secure the
choicest portion of Turkey-Constanti-
nople and the Dardenelles. To those who
understand the political complications of
Europe, the Greeks and the Cretans are
but mere catpaws to further the ends of
England in the East. Never before has
the British fleet been so strong in the
Mediterranean. No man can foretell the
outcome of this trouble.
William P. st. John, the New York
banker who espoused the cause Of silver
in the late campaign and was made
treasurer of the national democratic
committee, died suddenly at his home in
New York city last Monday night. He
did splendid work for the silver cause
from first to last, and in his death the
friends of silver lose one of their ablest
and staunchest friends. Mr.. St. John
was born in Mobile, Ala, in 1847. His
father, who was also banker, gave him
an academical education. He went to
New York city when quite young, and
soon took charge Of the credit depart
ment of the gold and silver trust. He
then was employed by the Mercantile
National bank, and eventually became
its president. For many years he was
widely known as student of financial
problems, and frequently contributed to
current literature on those subjects. At
nearly all gatherings to discuss monetary
problems Mr.. st. John was an easily rec
ognized figure. His tendency toward
the free silver sentiment was the reason
for much comment among his fellow
bankers in New York, and when last
year he accepted the Office of treasurer
of the allied silver forces he resigned as
president of the bank
