Only Seven.

- My seven working days are left
~ In this prolonged political cam
paign. but the Butte Miner has
not yet prevailed upon itself to say n
word In defense OF its support OF ad-
neutrality-suspicious. for the legisla-
ture, on the Carter-Marshall ticket In
Silver Bow county. The time In which
the Miner can get a chance to defend
its conduct or its goldbug tick
ct is getting shorter and short
err. The Butte public is beginning
to conclude that the Miner. to use its
own words, is Kicking against the
free-coInage ticket In Silver Bow coun-
ty simply for reasons that are personal
to Mr.. Clark. For that matter the
overwhelming defeat OF the Clark tick
ct is now so we'll assured that any de-
Tense OF II undertaken at this late day
by the Miner would amount to nothing
at all. The Campbell ticket. which car
ries the regular free-coinage democratic
ticket for the legislature and for the
county Offices In Silver Bow. is beyond
successful attack by the Miner or by
any other goldbug organ. Respecting
the indisputable charge that II is advo-
eating administrator Carter republi-
cans for membership in the legislature,
the Miners pages are "as silent as the
lamps hat burn on tombs." And there
are only seven campaign working days

From the Helena Independent.
Judge Pemberton Is not making politi-
cal speeches. as has been by
the esteemed Herald. on one or two oc-
casions the judge has happened to be
present at democratic rallies and so Bop
ular Is he with the people that they in
sisted in each instance that ne should
take the platform and make a short ad-
dress. The cries for "Pembertoni' on
these occasions could not be resisted. But
he has not talked politics. but in a brief
and dignihed way referred TO the duty
OF the people in connection with the sa-
cred right Of franchise. We remember that
he Did say on one occasion that there
never was a time when hs did not believe
In the free coinage of silver and gold on
equal terms. He might have added. but
he did not, that there was a time. about
two years ago. when his opponent pre-
tended to believe very much In silver and
hat he is now a candidate for chief jus
tice OF this great silver state on a gold
standard platform.

all the measures which the Inter Noun
tain now pretends TO like. Yet when
the legislature adjourned and the de-
feat OF these measures by the senate
was an accomplished fact. the Inter
Mountain said: The Inter Mountain IL
pleased to note the eminentiy conser-
vative bearing of the state senate dur-
ing the session Of the legislature just
closed. That body was composed Of
very able gentlemen whose distin-
euished services were marked features
of the session. II Is also quite as pleas
ant to note that the same conservatism,
the same wisdom and the same ability
which distinguished the senate this year
will. in part. be transferred to the next
session OF that body"
That is what the Inter Mountain said

%iorIties killed the bills which the Inter
Mountain. for present campaign pur-
poses. has suddenly undertaken to
praise.

THE NEW PROBLEMS.
Discussed by John I. Morgan at Bir
mingham.


Birmingham. Ala. Oct. Ex-senator
John T. Morgan. who Is taking part in
the congressional campaign in his
state. spoke at Seals hall tonight to a
large audience. He dwelt chiefly with
the subject of trade and territorial ex-
pansion, and especially as relates to the
South.
With regard to the Nicaraeuan canal.
he said he thought the time had arrived
when public sentiment would practi-
cally force congress to act favorably
upon il. The war had brought about
this situation.
As to Cuba's future. Senator Morgan
said the United States would not take
the island by the ear and pull II into
the union, but would hold II until the
people awake to the realization that
their greatest security n prosperity
lies in annexation to this country as a
state. which. II is thought, they Will
seek. AS to the Philippines, the great
distance rendered the situation with
them different from that of Cuba and
Porto Rico. But he did not believe there
was a man in this country who favored
turning its back on the people. who
needed the enlightenment and liberty
we ear give them.
The senator said that Spanish silver Is
being driven out of Cuba and Porto
Rico by our money and that a big de-
mand for our silver in those Islands
will follow. thus practically accomplish
ing the reconciliation OF silver as a
money.

"A 20 one can deny" says the
the best interests Of the state
demand the election Of a democratic
congress"
Anybody can deny II. but no man can
deny il successfully. The best interests
of Montana-to say nothing Of the best
interests Of the American people-de-
mand a ~free-coinage majority in con-
gress.
To this end It is of highest account
that Campbell be elected. The Miner Is
supporting a gold county ticket which
Is marked republican" on h official
ballot and which has at Its top the
name Of Marshall. and not the name
of Campbell. No legislative or county
candidate. advocated by the Miner IL
on the Campbell ticket.
And silver must make sure OF the
federal senate. as well as OF the house
OF representatives-it must not have
one but both. Next January the legis-
iature OF Montana will elect a federal
senator. For membership in the legis-
lature the Miner Is urging the cleo
ton OF a lot of republicans who were
nominated on a gold platform by the
Carter county convention in silver Bow
county. he Miners list includes a
goldbug for the state n a and other
goldbugs for the lower house.
Nc one can claim that a newspaper Is
honest when II say that the best inter-
ests Of Montana demand the election OF
democrats and then turns about m
works for the election Of admitted
gold republicans for membership In a
Montana legislature that will elect a
federal senator.
No one. unless II be Mr.. Carter. will
venture to deny that the Miner Is right
when II says that after the election
Of Mckinley. there came from the
monIed (sic) interests a demand for a
new fiscal policy that would more
closely fasten the letters Of the gold
standard"
That is true. And no n will deny
that the Miner is supporting recog-
nized Mckinley men for membership In
a legislature that will choose a United
States senator.

An Organ Upside Down.

: we were saying the other day,
n the Inter Mountains sudden
\ warmth for legislation supposed
to relate to labor interests, in the late
session of the Montana legislature, II
one OF the comicaiities OF the campaign.
The absurd plight In which the Inter
Mountain is finds illustration In the fact
that the Granite-street organ Is con-
demning Campbell now for votes which
the Inter Mountain approved when the
legislature was In session.
Take the eight-hour bill. for instance.
When that measure was up, Mr.. Camp
bell voted against IL. So did most OF
the members Of the state senate, in
Guiding all but one of the republican
members. At that time the Inter
Mountains only word OF comment was
that Il is well to leave well enough
alone. and respecting the vote OF Mr..
Campbell and other senator's II said:
I'm killing the bill providing that eight
hours shall constitute a days work in
shelters and reduction works In Non
tana. the legislature seems TO have act
ed on the idea that II is we'll to let well
enough alone"
But the record of MIR. Campbell on
the eight-hour law Is not the only act
the Inter Mountain complains OF. II
has lately snarled because Campbell
sustained the proposition to reduce for
the present. the cost Of the statistical
bureau. On that score the Inter Noun
taln's record IL equally brief and CO.
gent. Late In January of the leg1sla-
tive session Of 1897. the Inter Mountain
remarked: "A few men in Great Falls
have petitioned the legislature against
the abolition of the office Of labor and
immigration commissioner The petit
non was started by a man who wants
The appointment. and IL is signed by
those who know nothing about prevail
ing conditions" That is. from A to z,
ne Inter Mountains support" of a
measure respecting which IL is now
finding fault with Campbell.
Mr.. Campbell was active. in the sen.
ate. in opposition to a number of meas
ures the defeat Of which the Inter
Mountain Affects now to deplore and re
specting which II now condemns Camp.
bell Yet, with these very measures IN
mind. the Inter Mountain said. Will,
the legislature was in session: "rh'
state senate is believed to contain
enough level-headed republicans anC
democrats to insure the state against
idiotic legislation"
In fact. IL turned out that the sen
ate OF which Mr.. Campbell was a mem
Der. was responsible for the defeat o.
