Lovers OF literature Will find This even

yersity a great treat. Hon VIII II. T1o4np

brother Maurice Thompson. viii be re
principal number OF the programme. Mr..
Maurice Thompson has published three
volumes of poetry. several novels and a
number Of other books, bu: his friends
think that his great poem. 'rIncen's
Grave" is By far the finest WORK he has
done The poem was read before tho Ia
nous Phi Besa Kappa of Harvard in 1885
and was published in a limited edition by
Stone q kimban, Of Cambridge and Chi
cago. The poem is all the more remark
able because the man who wrote il fought
with the South in the civil wsT. The first
stanza gives this fact as follows:
May one who fought in honor for the South
Uncovered stand and sing by Lincoln ;
grave?
Why. Il I shrunk not at the cannc MS
mouth.
Nor swerved one inch by any battle wave.
Should | now tremble In this quiet close
Hearing the prairie wind % lightly Nv
From hiilowy plains OF grass and ,a.,es
While out OF deep repose
The great sweet spirit lifts itself on
high
And broods above our land his summer
norm"
See also how he tells of the great heart
OF Lincoln:
Great heart that bled on every awful Geld
Deep eyes that wept for every soldier
dead
What time the Blue or Gray swop; on or
Teeled.
what time triumphant Meade or Johr-
sto1 leo
True heart that felt our country one ard
whole.
Kind eyes that saw TO love beyond the
strife
Inspire me. I'll me. hold me close ard
long
Nv every source control.
So that the richest veins IT human Hf-.
Thrilled through by thee, may ccnsc-
crate my song!
Every s.anza breathes the same warm
words and lofty sentiment Il Is ne won
der that the poem should have addCG so
much 20 the fame Of the author.

No Two Ways About II.

~HERE can he no successful at
tacks on the regularity of the
democratic ticket I'm Silver Bow
county or on its full title to party recog-
milton.
The democratic county convention
had two duties to perform-its commits
sion was to elect delegates to the state
convention and ia name the county
ticket. At its first session the demo-
cratic oun:y convention disposed of
the work of electing delegates to the
state convention. These delegates sat:
they took a very important part in the
state conventions work. The objec-
tions urged now by the Butte Miner
were urged before the state convention
was held-we presume that every MEM
Der OF the convention heard the Miners
criticisms.
II is universal testimony that in The
history OF Montana a more representa-
tive meeting of the states democracy
was never held. The Silver Bow dele
cation was not challenged-on the con-
trary. one Of the members OF that dele
cation was elected to the office of per-
manent chairman OF the convention.
and. later on. he. Andrew j. Campbell,
was. without rivalry. the party's nomi-
nee for the Office Of member Of con-
gross.
The Butte Miner accepts the work Of
the convention. never limiting that NJ.
Campbell was unlawfully a member II
II and its permanent presiding officer.
yet Mr.. Campbell was elected as a dele
gate in the state convention by precise
ly the same county convention that
named a county ticket which the Tin
says Il regulates not because Il has
any objection whatever TO the candi-
dates named but because II does not
consider the county convention regular!
We say that Is a plea that cannot
possibly " made to appear consistent.
We say that. II the democratic nve
lion in Silver Bow county was not COM
petent TO name a county ticket that Is
regular. then II was not competent TO
send Mr.. Campbell to the state conven-
ton. the permanent presidency Of thu
state convention was irregular and
fraudulent. and that conventions re-
suits the Miner cannot consistently APP
prove.

TypicaI of the Great West.

From the tChicago) Epworth Herald.
Everywhere in Montana, and for that
matter all along the Northwestern Pa
cific from Bismarck 10 Spokane, the
morning paper which o buy is the
Anaconda Standard. II is typical of the
great West, but is anomalous even
there for its enterprise and ability. Jus:
think of a paper which has a daily cir
culation equal to the total population OF
the city in which it is published. 1t rs a
neek-and-neck race between the city
and the paper. and we suspect it takes
an occasional boom statement Of Ana
conda's population to keep IL up TO the
circulation of the Standard. The tele-
graph news is full ami accurate. LEGAL
happenings N Butte, Helena and Mis-
soula are SO completely covered rs to
make the Standard equal Is not superior
to the local papers of those cities, while
the editorial columns or the PAPER are
unexcelled anywhere. Put the Ana
conda Standard down In Boston, st.
Louis or Cincinnati. and the residents
of those cities would point to 1t as a
matter of pride. The Standard did the
conference proud. II gave the bishops
sermon in full and reported the %anniver-
sary addresses as well as the business
sessions.

Why Senses Are Deceptive.

The evidences of our senses is correct
in nearly all cases in which two of
them are called into play. so that the
testimony of one is checked by that Of
the other. But when we have to rely
upon one sense alone, we are sometimes
curiously deceived. The experiences
of those who rave lost a limb are IA
miliar. For some time afterward they
feel pains in the member that is gone.
This is because the nerve which used
TO convey feeling to the lost extremity
Is affected. Another experience in de-
ceptive senses may be made by cross
ing the second finger over the first, and
then placing a marble between the tips
Of the fingers. when II will be almost
impossible to conceive ones self that
thai there are not two marbles. This
is because two points in the fingers are
touched simultaneously. which in the
ordinary position could only be touched
at the same time by two marbles-and
the brain infers that there are two.

In New York.

II T first II was the intention OF Mr..
! Croker to nominate Mayor Van
wyck for the office Of governor
Of New York. Changes which have not
been made entirely clear by any news
that has reached the West resulted in
the substitution of the name of the
mayors brother. Judge Augustus c.
Van Wyck. The democratic state con-
vention evidently was dominated by
wyck $50 votes showed that IS votes
were cast for Stanchheld. who is rated
as David Il. Hills candidate and who
had long been an announced candidate
for the nomination. Whether. however.
the Stanchield vote Is to be taken as a
measure Of HIS strength in the con-
vention. cannot be decided on the
strength of any information Illus far
resolved from New York.
Significant matters OF ten months ago
in New York politics are easily recalled.
Platt and the republican machine were
utterly routed in the mayoralty fight in
the metropolis. at an election where
52e.556 votes were cast-the democratic
plurality over the regular republican
candidate was l3O. 900: the mugwump-
Independent plurality over the regular
republican candidate was fifty odd
thousand. The New York democracy,
In anticipation OF this years campaign
ing. appeared to be on the crest Of
the wave.
Since then many things have hap
pened that ought 10 be deemed helpful
20 the democrats in New York. The
Black administration is tainted with
gross Erie-canal scandals: they are the
shief" scandals OF nearly thirty years
ago. the exploiting OF which made SAM
uei J. Tilden. as the champion Of re-
form. the governor OF New York and.
later on. the foremost Of democrats in
national politics. Then. too. recent incl
dents have brought grist TO the demo-
cratic mill in the form OF snti-Algerism
which. without close regard 20 party
lines. is very strong in New York.
One anomaly is that the democrats
denounce Alger's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Not Started Yet.

~HEYRE not of yet. 1t looked
as " all was ready days ago
for the seasons political run in
Montana. but there's a silver-republi-
can delay. For that matter. the gold
republicans are equally tardy in lining
up. They have their state ticket in
tact-nobody on that has fallen of yet.
Still. these goldbugs are doing a good
deal Of thinking. and they are not ready
for the word.
That is the goldbug condition in Sill
yer Bow county. for instance. A few
days ago the Butte ~goldbugs were
quite elated with the offers of fusion
that came to them from the silver re-
publicans. But things have changed
within a week; these ~goldbugs seem
inclined 10 do a little Offering them
selves: IL they continue in their pres
ent mood. they may eve go so far as
to propose that the silver republicans,
instead of themselves. be the tail
enders on the silver Bow ticket. In

est surprise IL the Butte ~goldbugs make

OF congressman. Gossip has suggested
this name or that for the ticket that
vas left headless by Mr.. Hartman's
withdrawal: II the right man for the
place has been found. the Standard Is
not aware Of IL.
Now comes Judge Henry c. Smith,
one OF the district judges of Montana.
He was nominated by the silver-repub-
lican state convention for the Office Of
associate Justice Of the supreme court.

n correspondent says. in this norm
ing's dispatch. that IL was an open Sc
cret hat he wanted the gold republic
cans to put his name on their ticket
and that. the gold-republican
ton having declined to do that. II has
since been known h a Judge Smith

The Standard is disposed to the opin-
ion that. to begin with. Judge Smith
was not very much inclined to seek any
party's supreme-court nomination.
However that may be. he may readily
be excused for not caring to make a
bootless race that would have been his
as a candidate on the silver-republi-
al ticket-his letter printed this morn
ing leaves the field open. Thus an
other new man must be found: highly
improbable II is that. in any of the
amalgamation still to be accomplished,
the silver republicans will weight their
ticket with Judge Grub. the candidate
named bv the gold republicans: the
Standard has not yet heard any good
attorney in Montana say that Grub
is professionally fitted for the supreme
bench.

by his own ~afidavits. IL not a New
Yorker. The democratic press has
seized on this. and p~artisanship has
added the charge that he has con-
veniently shifted his residence to Oyster
Bay. then to New York. then TO Wash
ington. then back to Oyster Bay. and
so in a merry-go-round, in order to
avoid taxes.
These things are non the agencies
racy in this years campaign. On the
other bandits the same old story:
these New York democrats come TO the
Rubicon and pause on its brink.
Whipped as they were at Chicago. in
1896. they still lay TO their souls the
fiattering JUNCTION that they are greater
than the mighty democratic party of
the republic and that. in the field of ma
tional politics. they can make the ma
ton come New York's way. Thus II
happens that the resolutions adopted
day before yesterday. at Syracuse. after
celebrating the war questions and iii
dred topics. suddenly that
ndtlondl ISSUES are not n IdClpT III tnlS
years politics. and thus the convention
sought. in a most clumsy exhibition of
its weakness, TO dodge the silver ques-
ton.
The Standards firm belief Is that Mr..
Croker. who fiatters himself that he is to
be potent in the politics OF 1900. will be
taught at the New York polls the
lesson that Hill and Whitney and
Flower so bitterly learned at Chicago
in 1896: he will learn that when the
people reach conclusions. bosses don't
count. Keep In mind what happened in
the Empire state two years ago. All
OF the recognized leaders Of democracy
turned their backs on Bryan that year:
all of them did what they could to
break him down. The party foun it.
self suddenly without leadership in that
state: the time was too short for the
developing of trusted leadership. Yet
in spite OF Mr.. Hills promise at Chicago
that in New York Bryan wouldn't kno
he was running and in spite of the OBJ
stacles which all the democratic lead
ers OF the time set up. Bryan polled
more than forty per cent. Of the Nc
Kinley-Bryan total vote in the Empire
state in 1896. That was the most impress
slve demonstration OF silver's real
strength that was produced by the
BRYAN campaign OF 1896.
The folly of the course pursued at
the Syracuse convention is manifest.
on the one hand the conventions
ignoring of the Chicago platform Of
tends all Bryan men In the Empire
~state-they have named a rival state
ticket: they will be in line to be recog-
nized as regular at the next national
convention. on the other hand, the
conventions cowardice will reconcile
no gold democrat in New York. The
demand OF the gold element was that
the convention declare out and out for
the gold standard and use its influence
toward ending the agitation Of the sill
Yer question. The conventions action Is
neither fish nor flesh. The Croker ele-
ment. meanwhile, has put itself In line
TO be repudiated at the next national
convention. What then will follow?
II silver wins in 1900 II will. in any
event, win without New York which,
happily. is no longer the pivotal state.
