They Can't BE Jumped.

yesterday the Standard re-
" ceived a letter from Senator Car
ter saying that he had recently
received a letter from a Montana law
yer favoring the enactment Of a law
20 relieve soldiers and sailors enlisted
in the volunteer army or navy of the
United States from the performance Of
assessment work or mining claims dur
ing their terms of service. This In
curry" adds Senator Carter. leads me
10 believe that the fact has not become
known to the general public that an
act was passed covering this identical
proposition. during h last session Of
congress"
With his letter Senator Carter sends
a copy of the act referred TO. 1t was
printed in the Standard at h time II
was passed. IL was a part Of the Span
ish-war legislation: II was approved
July 2, of this year. The season for
claim-jumping being at hand. another
publication OF the Law is timely. and
the Standard makes a place for the
full text of It this morning on this page.
The aim Of this legislation was to
protect the volunteers, during their alb
sence, in the possession of mining
claims which are theirs. in whole or in
part. The law is very just and. as far
as the Standard learns. the legislation
of last July is a complete protection for
the absent soldiers un%patented mining
property. Those who propose to go
out on claim-jumping expeditions, a
week from next Sunday night. may as
well take notice that the jumping OF
soldier claims doesn't go.

For Instance.

- NE OF the recent press cable mes
~ sages quoses the widely-knoNn
German newspaper. The Kreuz
Zeitung. as saying: Spain has fallen
before an opponent who. through the
entire campaign, did not. i'm our opinion,
d. Il single act worthy of admiration."
Tnis German newspaper is welcome
to all the comfort IL can get out of
%il-natured talk about the American
side of the war. TO his day the aver
age American does not know how the
run Of popular opinion in Germany
really was, as between this country
and Spain. Oficialdum in the empire
was against us fast enough-there is
no doubt about that. and this country
received constant indications Of this
unfriendly feeling. as far as official cir
cles in Germany were concerned. but
we never got a common-people express
sion from Deutschland. one way or the
other.
In any event, we cannot heartily
agree with our esteemed Hohcnzpllern
contemporary, the Kreuz Zeitung.
when IL says that our side Il the war
furnishes rot a single act worthy uf
admiration. The Berlin editorial mem
DRY is strangely short. For instance,
Il has always seemed to US that Dewey
did something altogether admirable
when he said to the German admiral,
who was cruising around Manila bay
in quest of trouble. that he-the Ger
man admiral must be mighty careful
to keep out OF the American line Of fire.
That laconic message was much ad-
mired. Perhaps the Kreuz Zeitung peo-
pie have no particular call TO take pride
In IL, but IL was a most admirable in
cident Of the war. just the same, and
history will so say.

What IL Means.

~HERE is method in the plan
urged by the National Board OF
Trade, recently in annual SEES
sion in Washington. This board was
created in order to represent in an or
CANNED way certain of the business in
~terests of the country that are opposed
TO silver free coinage. The chief busi-
ness OF the annual session was 20 take
account OF way and means whereby
h gold standard can be fastened on
shis country in a manner that will
make IL stick.
These workers for the gold standard
dc not fatter themselves that their
cause is a present winner. All their
talk during the recent session was TO
the effect that free coinage is an issue
which the opposition will hav TO fight
Tn 1900 a. hard as ever. These men are
not permitting themselves to be lulled

frary. their belief is hat the fight Is
ON and that Il must be fought out.
They dread the open battle which 1900
will bring. They considered. last week.
schemes whereby they may to
avoid that form of contest.
. The plan OF this board is TO take time
by the forelock- Its members have lit
tie faith that any legislation in further
ance OF their programme can be put
Through the present session Of congress.
They therefore propose that an extra
ordinary session be summoned for next
spring. and they formally urge the
president to order IL. They also are
frank enough TO say that the demand
of the gold advocates. IL the extra ses-
sion In summoned. will be for legisla-
sion hat will 'irrevokably establish
she single gold standard In the United
States"
II you think OF II for a moment you
will see how radical hat legislation
would be. Under the present laws the
act of the president Of the United
States could practically restore silver.

after all. the November elections are
pretty cold comfort for the enemies OF
silver. There IL the great state of New
York. for instance. Mckinley swept It,
and the goldbug prediction was at that
time that the state would be republi-

and years to come and as long as there
was any suggestion Of a renewal Of the
fight for silver. Yet last month the re-
publicans their state ticket SO as
by fire. and the outlook worries them;
they all appear to be particularly dis
turbed by the fact that the silver forces
think as highly as ever OF Bryan.

ard assumed that this use of the per-
sonal pronoun. first person. possessive

the telegraph wire and. lest the presi-
lent might be the subject of misquota-
ton. this office caused a query to run
clear back 10 Chicago. The answer
was that my people" were the presi-
dents own words. So that IL was a re-
markable little break on Mr.. McKin-
Iey's part--it Is what the faculty at the
Agricultural school at Bozeman would
call a lapsus linguae.
On IN meat doth this our Caesar
feed down in Georgia? II has been told
that President Mckinley has, in his
time. felt very much fiattered at the
mention OF an alleged resemblance, in
appearance, between himself and Ma

lent Is the betrayal OF a surprising
mental resemblance between the Cam
ton man and Kaiser William. The Ber-
lin william is constantly INDUCING in
feudal references to my people my

these. The Washington william has
evidently caught the fever.
Recently an American ambassador.
