had brought TO the nO,.oe OF the Euro

that Cuba was the easternmost part 81

admiral Of the Indies. He was the dis
eoverer OF Guantanamo bay. and his
~caravals spent one night in the beauti-
full harbor of Santiago de Cuba. from
which Cervera's squadron lately went
forth to destruction.
Ii is an interesting fact that the
noblest OF Cervera's vessels. named for
the d~iscoverer. was like himself an
Italian, and came from Genoa. IL is
also noteworthy that the Cristobal Co
Ion. rushing out Of Santiago bay, took
almost the exact course followed by
the d~iscoverer four hundred years ago.
The Colon gave up the struggle at Tar
quine Point. near the very headland
from which the great admiral turned
the noses Of his vessels for the blue
mountains of Jamaica.

For silver Republicans.

w duet Of , IT ' republican , a"' p s1@,
I'm its dealings with silver. the
address just issued by Senator Mantle
to the silver republicans Of Montana is
an interesting summary Of chapters in
recent political history. 1t all hap
pened just as Senator Mantle describes.
he tells the story in a terse, well-writ-
ten manifesto. The moral is. plainly
enough. that no man who processes to
be for silver can. IL he proposes to be
honest. have part or lot with Mckinley
republicanism.
In large percentage. the men in Mon
tana who used to travel with the rc-
publicans turned their back on that
party and supported Bryan two years
Ago. That the large majority of them
will consistently support the cause this
year. the Standard does not doubt;
they believe in the restoration Of silver
10 its proper function in this country's
currency: they viii stand by their con-
victions.
Wherein Senator Mantle makes silver
and protection twin issues" for silver
republicans. he suggests an inquiry or
two. Says the senator in his address
given out yesterday: "Silver republi-
cans are gratihed and thankful for
whatever prosperity has come to II
wool and others through the
medium Of the new protective tariff.
They recall with satisfaction that II
was the votes of silver men In the
United States senate, active or passive,
which made these results possible"
II depends on what "active or passive
votes are. Our memory is that Sena-
tor Teller refused fatty TO vote for the
Dingley bill. that Pettigrew did likewise,
that Senator Cannon voted squarely
against II, that. in fact. out of the sill
yer republican and populist member
ship I'm the senate. the only votes the
Dingley bill won were those of Mr.. ]. T.
Jones and MIR. Mantle, and that the bill
did not get a single vote out of the sill
yer forces in the house. Thus IL hap
pens tha it's an uphill job to make it
appear that the Dingley bin owes very
much to the silver republicans-the
record isn't that way.
This much is suggested by the tariff
paragraphs In the address of Senator
Mantle. However, that there are silver
men in Montana who want to be r
TO free coinage yet who do not feel dis
posed to approve all democratic doc
trine, IL true. The suggestion Of the
men who have scored for the metal all
the advances It ever made In national
politics is that no citizen be forced but
that concessions be made that will still
leave it possible TO make common cause
for silver. Undoubtedly, the people OF
Montana-except the goldbugs-will
follow this advice.

The Protocol.

- PTrCIF three in the protocol
~ which President Mckinley and
NJ. Cambon signed is the one
that. In the recent parlance Of London's
cabinet circles, might be called an open
door" 1t is wide open-it leaves the
whole question which the Philippines
present to be dealt with by a commits
sion IN the making up Of which the
United States md Spain shall each ap-
point not more han five.
OF course. It all depends on the style
Of men whom President Mckinley APP
points for service on this commission.
II fortunate selections are made, public
sentiment will get a fair show. but II
the commission Is freighted with Wild
eyed. Pacifc-empire ranters like Sena-
tor Davis, there'l be no limit to this
country's headlong plunge into imper-
iallsm. There isn't a fertile isle or a
desert waste out OF doors. or Hindoo
or Hottentot or Zulu or Monaghan that
we do not need in our business. the way
the LIMOGES like Senator avis tell IL.
For the present. under the protocols
terms. we occupy and hold the city,
bay and harbor Of Manila" pending the
conclusion Of a treaty of peace which
shal determine the control, disposition
and government OF the Philippines"
Thus the door Is open: in this third
clause OF the protocol there is wider
groundwork for war. II either Spain or
this country happens TO want more Of
Il, than there was in any phase of the
original Cuban situation. However, all
the likelihood is that we shall not have
war or the Philippines either-in excess
OF a coaling station and ample en-
virons for 1t.
The protocols five other provisions are
simple enough and decisive Of the is
sues they deal with.

ago: when Dewey made his name and
our navy famous. not half the people
in the United States knew where Ma
Mia was.
Most seductive and misleading OF the
"new-era. Pacihc-empire" talk. is the
suggestion that while we do not want
these Asiatic islands and while their
Malay millions are not our kind of
people. we really must take them. you
know. out of philanthropy or for lib
erty's alleged sake or because we can't
conveniently let go Of them on account
of the powers-or for this or that
equally nabby plea. There ought to
burst upon the mind and the conscience
OF this country. In this peace-making
time. the well-grounded conviction that
this republic recognizes no obligation
to become sponsor for anything what
soever. in the shape either OF soil or
subject, that II doesn't want. And II
doesn't want the Philippine islands or
their millions of humanity whose chief
distinction is their manifest unftness
for self-government. You cannot per-
suade the American people thai just
because a little war with "a broken
down monarchy put us tempo
rarily in harbors we never dreamed
Of entering-you cannot persuade
the people that. therefore. this
country must depart from the cardinal
doctrine that all just government rests
upon the consent Of the governed. Who
has eve intimated that we have Philip
pine consent. or hat we are likely to
get 1t by peaceful processes. or that
we wish II even II we could have 1t for
the asking?

They May Resign.

Thus far, three cabinet officers. on the

~ itself, the little diary Of the

of his mornings standard is a
wal souvenir which many readers win
wish 10 preserve. Above all. however.
nov hat we are squarely up 10 the
point where we must deal with "A
Philippine-conquest problem. the ard
n hope Of the Standard is that the
words printed above this diary will be
written on the heart Of every citizen
whose aspiration is that, i'm concluding
peace, hat may be done which is right
and just and most honorable and most
expedient for the United States.
There is no doubt respecting the
spirit that animated the American peo-
pie or as to the motive that prompted
them when they entered upon the war
with Spain. Their purpose is accu-
rately stated in the words to which we
refer and which IT is timely To return
to just now-they are the final deCla-
ration Of the two houses OF congress;
they are the preface to the ultimatum
which President Mckinley sent to
Spain and which precipitated war.
There is no boasting in them. They are

On the contrary, the memorable reso-
buttons are a distinct disclaimer OF any

publication was a voluntary act:
doubtless there was policy in IL, be-
cause we did not know then how the

themselves toward our war. But. at
any rate, the resolutions were a faith

we took the first formal step toward

An Imbecile War DEPARTMENT.

From the Great Falls Tribune.
The exchanges received from the east
show that Teddy Roosevelt's famous
round robln'' protest signed by all gen.
erals and medical officers at Santiago has
raised a storm OF Indignation against Sec
rotary Alger and the administration. Ev-
on the strongest republican papers and
administration organs like the New York
Tribune admit that there is something
rotten in the war department.

Eastern and western Montana.

From the Rocky Mountain Husbandman.
Eastern Montana is destined to become
a land of large possessions. but Western
Montana is surely TO become a land of
small holdings. Western Montana is not
nearly so well adapted to cattle and sheep
husbandry as the eastern portion of the
state. but is the especial home of fruit
culture and a man can support a family
nicely on twenty acres. while in Eastern
Montana the majority Of the ranch own
ers think they cannot make a living on
less than 900 acres. and the small holdings
range from that to 5000 acres, while the
large holdings run up to thirty and fifty
thousand acres.

The Standing Army.

From the Great Falls Leader.
For a long time after-dinner speakers
have wax eloquent on the theme OF
Not a Standing Army. But an Army
That VIII Stand" The sentiment has
been all very well. We believe In 1t. But
we also favor keeping abreast with the
necessities of the times. The peoples over
which we are to exercise jurisdiction. or
protection. are used to seeing soldiers.
They think of them as a power II is ne
cessary to fear and obey. II is not our
fault that such low ideals prevail.

FfOW IHF bOEtmHn CHTONICIe.
The colored troops of the 18th, stationed
in this state for a long time. proved them
selves to be the hardest kind of fighters.
The Cuban negro, whom II has often been
said Is superior to the negro of the United
States. did not prove so when IL came to
fighting. The Cuban negro had more to
fight for. too. Years of oppression should
have. made him a desperate fighter. but
the enervating climate has left its i'm
press. All he cared to do was to loot
cities after the United States troops had
captured them.
