order removing from service the six
deputy collectors in his district, three
of which, Mr.. H. l.. Henry of this
city is one, to take effect on June
Both and the other three on July 31st.

deputies are under the civil service

tend to resist their removal. Mr..
Henry was not in the city today, and
the Free Press could not learn
what his intention is in
the matter. 1t has been understood,
however, that he expected to retire
from the Office about July 1st.

DR.. Northrup then addressed the
graduating class, referring to the good
effect Of bringing in such qualified
teachers, who would force the I'M
qualified ones to leave the field and
seek other employment. They would
have many trials, but should do their

The Political Trinity.

At the meeting held in Helena last
week by representatives of the three
parties which pooled their ssues in
the last campaign, it was decided to
hold the state convention at Ana
conda on Sept. 81. Although the
same dates were determined upon,
nothing definite could be accomplish
ed as regards fusion; that was a mat
ter to be left to the conventions to
determine. The fact that the same
date and place We're chosen, however,
leaves little doubt but fusion will be
accomplished, though it is not going
to be al easy undertaking. A great
many Democrats are In favor of GO
ing it alone, believing the party is
strong enough to elect all of it's can
didates without the aid of Silver Re
publicans or Populists. This ele-
ment, which might be called the
Clark faction. is represented by the
Butte Miner and the Helena indie
pendent. The DAILY crowd, led by the
Anaconda Standard. are anxious for
fusion. 1t is said Marcus DAILY wants
to see Lee Mantle returned to the
senate, and what Marcus wants gen.
orally goes Whether he has Hart
man on his string, too, remains to be
seen. AS Hartman has been playing
for IN Democratic nomination by
voting against every Republican
measure in the last congress, it looks
as though he was not so sure of
Days support, but had to rely upon
his own political perfidy to secure the
nomination. Mantle could be a Re
publican with some possibility of
winning, but Hartman couldn't.
Mantle did not stultify himself in any
manner. He was a pretty good Re
publican. But this fact may make it
the harder for Daily to win out next
winter. However, if he determines
to land Mr.. Mantle he will make
things lively. The Democrats should
be satisfied with Hartman. Hehasn't
been a Democrat very long. to be
sure, but what he lacks in length of
party fealty he more than makes up
in the vehemence with which he es-
pouses h aus
As to the Populists, they don't cut
much ice anyhow. They will take
what is left when the other parties
get through.

While some writers on the Demo-

ing the administration and the war
department in particular for laxity
in forwarding troops and hospital
supplies to Santiago, attaches of for

compliments to those in authority
for the rapidity with which the in
vasion of eastern Cuba was carried
