There's No Hurry.

u s we were saying the other day,
4 the political procession will not
be ready TO nov in good form
until the republican wings in Silver
Bow county decide whether they will
hop In unison or not. Comment in the
Inter Mountain OF last evening reminds
us that this question may be answered
to-morrow-that Is the day when those
whom the Inter Mountain has lately
taken to designating as the straight
republicans" will bring the fusion ques-
ton into formal consideration.

He'll BE a Goldbug. Anyhow.

IN yesterdays bailoting at Salem ex-
Senator John IL. Mitchell was not
In evidence. He was the root OF the
trouble during the former session OF
the legislature when a bitter struggle
over the senatorship came to naught.
IL will be remembered that, at that
session. there was no election and thus,
since March s. 1897. Oregon has had
one vacant chair In the senate. For
this vacancy the governor OF Oregon
appointed ". w. Corbett but the sem
ate refused to seat him for reasons
with which the Montana public be-
came familiar at the time when the
senate dealt with the case OF Mr.. Man
tie. under his appointment by Cover
nor Richards. In Oregon Mitchell ap-
pears TO be entirely out of Il this year.
Corbett was ten votes short OF the
necessary total. in the ballot by separ-
ate houses taken yesterday. To-day
the houses meet in joint session. and
the press-dispatch forecast is that an
election is not likely to occur in a
hurry. In view of the fact hat the
voting Is likely TO run through several
days. IT will be handy to keep in mind
the figures given In this mornings dis
patch which show a legislature having
ninety members. with sixty-elght re-
publicans n forty-slx votes necessary
to elect.

These Are Trihes.

~ EyERAL little incidents hav'
~ marred the exit OF the Spaniard;
~ from Cuba: these have occasionet
a little friction between the American
and the Spanish commissioners-not
much. to be sure. but just enough TO
give the suggestion of an unpleasant
flavor to affairs.
One OF these incidents was the ship
ment OF several thousand soldiers back
to Spain without the giving OF notice
to the American commission. That Is
a little lapse. perhaps. in respect to the
courtesies. yet the American public
will not resent IL; the sooner these
Spaniards go the better. and the man.
ner OF their going doesn't make any
difference.
Then a little feeling came up about
n rapid-fring gun. II had been re-
moved from the Alfonso XII. for use
in the defense OF Havana. The ques-
ton arose whether this gun. having
been made a part OF the Notifications.
was not a piece Of property under
American control.
IL WASH I muCn VI a gum fciettihb W
this incident the New York sur says
that the piece was leisurely drawn. on
its return trip TO the Alfonso XII, right
in front OF the hotel where the Amer
lean commissioners are stopping-there
was no effort to get II away by stealth.
The American public Is doubtless will
ing 10 let Spain keep the gun.
Next in order arose a little m~isunder-
standing over the coffin which may or
nay not contain the dust Of Columbus
there's more than al even chance
that Il is not the genuine Columbus
coffin. Blanco ave orders for Its re-
moval. in anticipation OF Its transfer
to Spain. On every account Blanco
ought first TO have submitted his order
to the commission. but he didn't do It.
We suppose that the American people
will not violently object to this proposed
removal. The Spaniards treated Column
bus shamefully while he lived; after he
died they were so negligent Of his dust
that no man really knows where to
look for his coffin. A t~ireless traveller
during his lifetime. his mortal remains
have had a tourists experience. He
was buried first at Valladolfd. then re-
moved TO Seville. then shipped to San
to Domingo-and whether he rested
there or was transferred to Havana is
a matter OF doubt absolutely beyond
the possibility OF clearing.

lPeck's Policy.

"a GENTLY the mails have
N brought to the newspaper Of
- fees circula letters of request
fer help in promoting this or that
scheme for the Paris exposition. These
requests serve the purpose Of direct
ing closer attention than might other
wise be the case to n cable message of
five or six days ago. which said that
the United States peace commissioners
had taken, In Paris, the apartments in
the Continental hotel. styled the en-
press suite n lately vacated by f.. w.
Peck and his associates.
Peck is commissioner general for this
country at the Paris exposition. He
and his retinue are returning to the
United States, after finding IL impossi-
BILE to get more space than was origin
ally allotted at the fair for the use OF
American exhibitors. Following the in
vitation that came from France. the
government at Washington appointed
Major Handy as a special exposition
commissioner. While he was serving in
this office. Major Handy died. At
length Peck was appointed as commits
sioner-general-hls recommendation ap-
peared TO be that he had raised con-
siderable money for the Chicago expo
sition.
As a beginning congress dealt gen.
erously with the Paris fair-it appropri-
ated $3.50 900. to be used for the best
Peck's ambition appears to be to go
through this money at a record break
ing pace. He had no business in Paris
-to say nothing OF the princely quar-
tiers referred to. II was perfectly well
known that the authorities in Paris a
accorded TO the United Stataes all the
space that could possibly be spared
that ground had been thoroughly gone
over before Peck was appointed; the
facts had all been before our federal
senate; Major Handy and others had
received a ina answer TO their re-
quests for more space.
Mr.. Peck hattered himself hat he
could do better than his predecessors
in the commissionership. He set sail
for Paris about six weeks ago. with q

or twenty who, until the arrival OF the
peace commissioners. were luxuriously
living in the empress suite at the ex-
pense of our government, while the
commissioner-general was en~6eavoring
to reverse a foregone conclusion.
Peck's course Is severely criticised by
many good people whose earnest wish
It is that this country shall make a
worthy showing at Paris. They accuse
him OF utter recklessness In using up
the generous appropriation voted oy
congress: II will be used up, they say,
Ions before the American exhibit is In
stalled. Peck seems to go ahead on the
theory that there's lots more Of money
where the first handsome Appropriation
came from.
