would be an everlasting stain on the
honor of a German officer. 1t is more
honorable to kill an unarmed man than
to allow his criticism of ones self to go
unnoticed. This is lovely theory.
America may be mercantile nation,
but she may thank her everlasting
stars that she does not understand
that kind Of honor. 1t may be, and
often is, honorable to fight when one
has been insulted; in fact, any jury In
America would have acquitted Siebman
il he had come forward in righteous
wrath and knocked the lieutenant
down and stopped his unpleasant talk
by a few well-directed blows. If there
were no other way. But the American
standard of honor does not authorize
anybody to murder unarmed men. A
kind Of honor which must be protected
by such means as that ought to be
abated as a nuisance and thrown on
the garbage heap of decayed ideas.

Hon. w. NJ. Bickford came up
from Missoula last Thursday evening
to handle a case before Justice Knapp
for Geo. L. Baggs. who was detained
in Missoula on some White Cloud
business. The case was the one
spoken Of in previous issue wherein
some men sued J. W. Mason for
wages due on work done in cutting
saw logs. Mr. Mason claimed that
he had sub-lct a contract to one Nc
Farland for the logs and that he was
to stand good for the grub and wages,
but that Mcfarland had not deliver
ed the logs in the time called for and
he had to get other logs to keep his
mill going, and he had therefore de-
clared 2the contract Oft and was not
holden for the wages for the reason
that the logs had not been delivered,
But he also claimed to hold the logs,
some 500, 900 feet, and which are now
lying in the timber, cut. On this
claim on the logs the justice gave
judgment for the wages sued for, and
the logs are attached.

have it all fixed up amicably. He
was outside the bar and leaning
against it, and had put his hands on
the shoulders of one Of the men with
remark that things could be made
all right without having any trouble,
when one OF the others struck hin,

He fell on his face and as he is very

THE WORD OF GOMEZ is LAW
An American Tells of "a Visit to the CG n.r
of the Insurgent Leader.

of the Insurgent Leader.
Haverhill, Mass, May William c
Frost has returned TO his home in tins
city after six months visit to Cuba
During that time he was engaged il
flibustering, was twice arrested ant
confined in MORO castle and also
spent two weeks in the camp of Gen
Gomez, of the lnsurgant army.
In speaking of the insurgents Mr.
Frost says: Gomez is king. His wort
is law, and it is enforced with an iron
hand. The old general who fought
through one war. natural leader OF
men, able though not educated. is all
the law that these men have. With
him are several Americans.
''In spite of all revcrses Gomez is
still confident, and his faith inspires
the men under him. They are looking
to the United States for help. and be-
lieve that the day of their deliverance
is near at hand"
1t was previous to this visit to Gen.
Gomez that Frost was arrested. lie
was put under guard at Matanzas and
tried before drumhead court-martial.
He was convicted and sent to Moro
castle at Havana with 40 other prison
ers, but was released three days later
through the efforts of Gen. Lee. lie
was few days later again arrested
and confined three hours in the guard
room at MORO, until word was sent by
Gen. Lee to release him. During his
three days confinement, he says, many
prisoners We're shot, and he and his
companions momentarily expected 10
meet the same fate. After that he was
constantly under surveillance while IN
Havana.
Mr.. Frost was in Havana the day of
Gen. Lees departure, and went out of
the harbor on the same boat, although
he returned few days later to visit
Gen. Gomez. Since the departure of
Gen. Lee the 'lives of Americans in
Havana, he says, have been in constant
danger.

AN UNSAVORY LOT.
Free silver Senators Bar Legitimate
Means of Raising
Money.

Now that war is on-egged on to no
little extent by the silyerite party in
congress-we would like to know if that
party is still going "to play politics"
with the question? 1t has got what it's
leaders wanted, and as result of the
war there will be free Cuba" dear to
the heart, probably, of every professor
of democracy, but having this, are the
,Ioneses and Baileys and Tellers going
to play the role of obstructionists?
1t looks like it. Here we are on the
verge of war, the immediate future of
which no man can forecast, when the
whole nation should be animated by q
single thought. but when the admins
tration asks for the means to carry on
the war it is at once met by caviling and
by obstruction from the free silver SEN
ators.
In our present situation is there any
body who will deny that the govern
ment must have large and instan-
taneous means for carrying on the war?
And how are they to be obtained, we
would like to know, unless by borrow
ing?
And yet the silverite senator's stand
up in the senate and threaten to block
all bond issues and all other legitimate
means of raising money until the sur
plus in the treasury is used up, and the
silver bullion owned by the govern
mcnt, foolishly called the seigniorage,
is coined into silver dollars!
They thus show that under the pre-
tnnse of humanity and the independ-
ence of Cuba they have plunged the
country into war for free silver and
dishonest dollar. Under the plea of
patriotism and humanity they are
working for the silver mine owners and
for national dishonor, and they appar-
emily care not what the outcome OF the
war may be if they can by means there
of esta blish their rotten and degraded
currency.
At this very moment, when the nation
is on the eve of a war, the extent of
which no man can foresee, and which
will cost an enormous outlay of blood
and treasure, the Tellers, Morgans, Pet
tigrews. Chambers and Joneses are all
gleeful because they see in this pos
sible way for bringing the country
down to the degraded monetary stand
ard they have so long advocated.
These obstructionists should not be
suffered to have their way for mo-
ment, but be stamped out by the iron
heel of public opinion. This is no
time for playing politics. The nation
is at war and every energy of the people
must be devoted to making that war
as short and as decisive as possible with
the least injury to the people of the
United States. To debase the currency
at such a time is national crime.-Chi-
clro Times-IIerald.

Illinois Militiamen Narrowly Escape Being

Springfield, ILL.,, May a. Experts
who have examined the contents of a
package found in one of the company's
boxes of the Third infantry, Illinois
national guard, pronounce it undoubt-
edly dynamite. A rigid examination
was made yesterday of all equipment
and baggage in the exposition build
ing, where the regiment is quartered,
but nothing else suspicious was discov-
cred
Investigation has SO far disclosed no
clew as to the identity of the person
who placed the internal thing. Be
sides the Third infantry, the Sixth
regiment is also quartcred in the
building, 1000 men in all. Many of
the men believe they narrowly escaped
the fate of the sailors of the Maine.
Gen. Barkley, commanding the camp,
held a conference with his officers re-
garding the matter. AS a result of the
conference guards have been placed at
every door and other entrance to the
buildings, and only persons having
passes are allowed to enter.

GLASS SKATES.
They Are the Latest Feature In Ice Rink
This Winter.


This Winter.
The newest feature of interest in the
New York ice rinks is the use of glass
skates. 1t is found that skates with
glass runners are far better, both for
speed and ease in gliding for pleasure,
than are the skates with metal runners,
and several pairs are now being used in
one of the metropolitan rinks. The in
ventor has succeeded in reducing the
glass to a hardness that insures an edge
which practically never becomes blunt.
The tempering process remains secret,
but it is fact that severe contact with
hard ice does not fracture the glass. To
look at these skates one would not sup
pose they were made of anything else
than metal, for the runners are always
colored in order to disguise the sub
stance of which they are made. The
coloring process is arbitrary, and tints
in the case of ladies' skates are always
made to correspond with the colors of
the wearer's costume. The runners of
these glass skates are attached directly
to an especially made shoe which laces
from the heel up the back. The combi-
nation not only gives a skate which is
perfectly easy in motion, but the high
shoe stitfens the ankle to an extent
which greatly aids in the enjoyment
and adds to the safety of the exercise.

A GREAT OBJECT LESSON.
European Powers Must Revise Their Opin-
ion of the Fighting Strength and Ability
of the United States.

Washington, May 3.-There is no
talk yet of European Intervention, but
one of the most beneficial results of
Commodore Dewey's victory is that a
deep impression has been made upon
the European powers, who can no
longer afford to blind themselves to
the fact that, man to man, the Ameri-
can navy is equal to any in the world.
There was no exhibition such as was
sneeringly predicted in the European
press of weakness in the American
fleet, caused by the fact that it was of
Heterogeneous composition.
1t is safe to say that after the battle
at Manila the European powers will
conclude that the American flag al
ways floats over an American crew, re-
gardless of the nativity or racial de-
scent of the men who fight the guns.
The impression produced is likely to
deter the European powers from hasty
Intervention, and the present indica
tions are that we shall be left to settle
our affairs with Spain at our own pleas
ure, always providing we do not get in
volved in the eastern question through
obtaining possession of the Philippines.

Cannot Borrow a Pcseta.

Washington, May 3.-Spain's finan-
cial condition is matter for worry in
Madrid, and matter of satisfaction in
Washington. Official information has
reached the state department from its
representatives in Europe that, not
withstanding the strenuous efforts
made by the Sagasta ministry to ne
gotiate a loan, absolute failure has
been the result. Furthermore, the of
ficials have been informed that Spain
can get no credit, although she has en-
deavored to buy supplies on time. This
information is of the utmost import
ance. and the poverty of Spain will un-
doubtedly have a great effect in hasten
ing the end of the war.
