conditions. since a money consideration
was necessarily involved. the motive of
the United States in pressing Spain to
stop the Cuban wal might easily ave
been misconstrued. The plan which
found popular approval was first to or
der Spain to quit the island or Cuba,
drive her of by force of arms II she
refused to go peacefully, and. when the
day of reckoning came. compel her to
make ample reparation. as far as money
can do II. for the wreck of the Maine.
That was the plan the people wanted
to have followed. But the trouble Is
that the people of the United States
counted without their president. He
pressed neither the Maine nor inde-
pendence for Cuba nor recognition OF
belligerency. He did ask for an armis-
tice. He obtained II and thus he tied his
country up. because. as the Standard
believes. that is action On SPANS part
which the government of the United
States may have to respect. Thus while
the president is busy with his "poises"
and his "self-contained dignity the
country is wondering where the Maine
incident is going to come In.

all accounts, 1t Is pleasant to
know that a way has been found
whereby the state capitol COM
mission can undertake the construction
OF a state house. From the first there
has been a building fund. 1t is in the
shape of public land-it was found i'm
possible to arrange for the sale of war
rants resting on this land as security.
In utter disregard of all business con-
siderations, the first capitol commission
involved the state in a debt wickedly
incurred. This debt is represented in
warrants for which the state has moth
ing to show.
The present capitol commission has
been casting about for ways and means.
The state at large was in no hurry at
all for the building of a state house,
but naturally the people of Helena were
impatient for its construction. The
citizens of the state settled down to the
conclusion that the people of Helena
would properly be looked to as the ones
who should provide better security
than the public and for the warrants,
II they desired to build ahead of the
time when the LAND would be valuable
enough to carry the warrants.
There was nothing tangible. however,
until recently. 1t is now announced,
as has been told in the Standards news
pages, that Thomas Cruise, of Helena,
will take the capitol bonds. AS we un-
derstand 1t. the total issue is to he $3.50,
600. AS the result of the operations of
rants representing a total of about sS7.-
900 are outstanding. These will prob
ably be taken up; the understanding is
hat the o to be put into the
state house will be about S275. 600.

At This Late Day.

YOHN ROACH is a long time dead.
He used to be one of the most
familiar figures in the city Of
Washington, he was the foremost ship
builder in the land. His name is re-
vived by the fact that. just the other
day. the house of representatives ap-
propriated about a third of n million
dollars in settlement of a long-past due
debt to Roach.
The old ship builders troubles began
when Mr.. Whitney entered the cabinet
as secretary of the nav in Cleveland's
first administration. Whitney condemned
the Dolphin as utterly unseaworthy.
Roach was the builder of the Dolphin.
The boat was pronounced s~tructurally
weak, and s25, 900 was taken off the con-
tract price. Without spending a penny
of this s25, 900 on the strengthening of
the Dolphin's structure, 1t was sent on
a trip around the world, and has been
ever since. 1t has proved itself a good
boat, structurally strong. yet the $4,000
has not been refunded. though a bill
for that purpose is pending.
They were after Roach. They so I'm
barrassed him financially that he could
not complete warships that were on the
stocks at his yard within the time the
contract specified. The navy depart
ment declared the contracts forfeited,
took possession of his yards and the
hoatc were completed by the govern
ment. Roach was made bankrupt ans
died a broken hearted nan.
The house, by a vote OF 1873 to 81
approved OF the bill to make good &c
the Roach estate the loss hat its harsh
and unjust treatment of John Roach
| entailed on that old ship builder. The
bill has the Endorsement of two ex'
secretaries of the navy, blu 1T Is not
endorsed by Whitney.
