q PEAKING Of Congressman Hart
" man. The Inter Mountain re-
sorted yesterday TO an a~las-poor-
YorIck line of sympathy i'm referring to
that gentleman's recent experiences In
Montana politics.
Elsewhere. this morning. the Stand
ard has announced itself prepared to
enter into a little inquiry at Washing
ton respecting certain assertions Of our
Granite-street contemporary bearing on
this years state politics. We have no
doubt that the Inter Mountain will en-
ter heartily into the proposed Inquiry.
Meanwhile. there is another little
matter that might be taken up-not be-
cause IL will change any existing con-
ditions. but simply to make the record
right all around. We offer the propo-
sition that the Inter Mountain cannot
get it's campaign treatment Of Con-
gresham Hartman approved by n
recognized leaders in the free-coinage
movement. selecting these both In
official and congressional life" at wash
ington.
Mind you. this Is not a reference TO
democrats as i'm the other instance.
but to recognized advocates of silver.
within the circle given, by whatever
political name they call themselves.
We wager that in senate and house
the Inter Mountain cannot get approval
of it's course toward Hartman from any
silver senator or house member, save
one in the senate.

ITO the people Of Havana: In ac-
cordance with the wishes of the Ameri-
can authorities the secretary OF the
junta patriotica. after consulting with
the main committee. has agreed to sus-
pend the festivities planned TO cele-
brate the independence of the island. In
a reasonable letter to the commission
charged with presenting the festival
programme General Ludlow has indl-
Gated the d%esirability of suspending for
the present, public demonstrations. ow-
ing to a fear that at the present mo-
ment when the uban police are not
vet organized there might be some IN
%terruption of public order. in the preser-
walton of which all citizens, and espec-
tally all Cubans, are deeply Interested.
AT the same time General ludlow
declares that the American authorities
are in fun sympathy with the joyous
feeling of the Cubans and that when
the situation becomes more settled they
will take pleasure in promoting SUCH
festivals as have been postponed and
will even participate in them. But the
American authorities are convinced
that the present moment Is not oppor-
tune for celebrations.
I'm view of the fact that the consid-
erations thu urged are quite In accord
with obvious good judgment, the rep
resentatives of the directory have de-
termined to suspend the festivals ar
ranged for the coming week. which VIII
be carried out as soon as circumstance
permit. The directory regrets the eX-
istence of such doubts and misgivings
as prevent the carrying out OF the pro-
gramme as projected. but they have
agreed to recommend to the Cubans To
cooperate in maintaining order during
the change of flags and In the days fol-
lowing. because they are convinced
that the moderation n orderly be-
havior of the Cuban people at these mo-
ments will powerfully influence the fu-
ture destiny of our country
