The Political Part.

IN the Standards letter this morn
ing from its Washington bureau,
you will find suggestive talk about
the outlook for the next national house
Of representatives. This country can
fight the Spaniards and take care OF Its
passing politics, to boot. The patroniz-
ing talk in some OF the newspapers
about the administration's services
passes for wha it is worth-the i'm
preston thus sought TO be made will be
found 10 be not skin deep when the test
| comes at next November's polls.
1t is the confession of all men who are
acquainted with national politics that,
last April, the Mckinley administration
was hopelessly lost and that the cleo
tions were expected TO give the
house of representatives to the demo-
| Gratis by an overwhelming majority. The
war made IL possible for the admins
tration to put Secretary Gage and those
who were "queering'' the president out
of public view for a time-you never
| hear of Gage now. In this way. through
the agency of a foreign war. the admin
tStratlOn got It's secODu Nlnu. lHe Ger
tainty is, however. that the republican
tidal-wave performance Of 1896 in gold
bug congressional districts will not en-
/ joy a repetition this year.
As for our own state. IL there Is SIN
certify in Montana's professions of f1del-
ity to silver, this years principal bust
ness is to keep the state loyalty in line
with the policy outlined by those to
whom the management Of the free
coinage national campaign has been
committed. That Is Montana's duty,
and that duty faithfully performed Will
furnish little opportunity for political
agitation this year in this state.
We can, OF course. help in the effort
to advance silver's interests, but the
way 10 make that help effective is by
lending a hand in distant congressional
districts where help is needed. Energy
spent in chickering's at home would be
wasted; every ounce Of IT and every
dollar II represents ought to be made
available for constituencies where sill
yer needs HELM.

that. with customary expedition. the
American people are ranging on this or
that side of 1t: the universal presump-
ton is that we shall have our say when
the war ends. as TO the disposition that
will be made of these island posses
sions.
Already the discussion has advanced
so far as to betrsy an intention on the
part Of some of the men In public life
to make the Mckinley administration
the sponsor for the proposed policy OF
territorial aggrandizement-men In the
administration circle are prating about
the new era" and declaiming about
the new empire" To be sure, enough
has been said to show hat the repuo-
Ncans of this country are not OF one
mind on the colonial question: yet the
purpose of many of those who shape
the republican policy is clear enough
they intend to give the campaign OF
1900 the conquest plan az its issue; they
are for conquest.
University men and college presi-
dents figure prominently in the list or
names attached to the call for this Au-
gust convention. They are conservative
people. as n rule. The names OF sew
eral well known people who are not
school men are on the list. Carl Schurz
is a signer. He is an alleged statesman
out of a Job. Doubtless he will work
from now till the convention meets TO
get a front seat at Saratoga and, II the
outcome Of the convention Is a perma-
nent association with offices. Schurz will
seize an Office II a salary goes with 1t.
However. the call, as a whole, is made
up of frst-cIass names-they are the
names OF intelligent and patriotic
Americans whose words will undoubt-
eddy get a hearing in this country.

Thai Pillage Bugaboo.

~HAT there should be two views
and two sets of opinions In this
country. in the matter OF Ameri-
can treatment of General Garcia and
his soldiers, is all right and natural
enough. You can get both sides Of the
case in the press of the country. and 1t Is
Just to assume that. as a rule, both
sides are aiming to be candid. The diff
ference is that the side that Is against
Garcia Is unpleasantly intolerant and
carelessly unmindful OF essential facts.
For instance, this anti-Garcia side
shakes its head and pompously asserts
that IL would never have lone to turn
the Cubans loose. to pillage Santiago
and slaughter its inhabitants. This dog
matte assertion assumes an intention on
the part of the Cubans for which there
is no shadow of foundation. One or two
pertinent facts, touching the incident,
were brought out In an interview at
Washington with Senator Foraker. Of
Ohio, on Thursday of last week. The
senator very sensibly suggests that 1t
could not possibly have been the inten-
ton of the Cubans to loot their own
homes and the homes Of their lifelong
friends.
Said Senator Foraker: only about
1000 of the so, 900 people Of Santiago are
Spanish and l.4OO of these were in the
Spanish army. There IS probably not a
Cuban family In Santiago which has not
some relative with Garcia. IL does not
seem probable that Garcia and his men
are eager to plllage their own families"
Senator Foraker is a republican but.
from the first, he has insisted that there
was no reason, except a financial and a
political one. that prevented the prompt
recognition of Cuban independence last
April by the government of the United
States. Last spring, when Mr.. Foraker
was leading the fight for recognition,
he pointed out the fact that the admins
tration was doing everything possible to
| bring IN Cuban insurgents into disre-
pute. Although he does not say so, he
evidently believes all these stories are
Inspired by the administration for the
purpose OF getting away from a recog-
milton of the existing republic.
In Washington II is openly talked that
the administration circle was resolute
In it's policy because 1t proposed later on
to organize a Cuban government which
Il could handle and which 1t could COM
pei, for Instance, to assume the Spanish
war debt in which Levi p. Morton and
other millionaire republicans have a
syndicated interest.

They're Not to BE Blamed.

"A 10 right-minded American can find
M fault with the Cuban citizens at
Santiago who have addressed to
President Mckinley the communication
which was quoted yesterday morning in
the columns of the Standard. To the
government Of the United States they
express their warmest thanks for its
services in driving out the Spanish sol
diers: In the integrity of our govern
ment's ultimate purpose they assert their
fullest confidence; they then express a
hope that their Spaniard oppressors will
not b. permitted 10 remain in authority
at Santiago-and what they say to the
president on this score is akin to a pro-
test.
Can any man blame these Cubans?
When the United States started out to
free them from Spain, the first thing
assumed by the government at Wash
ington was that they were fit to be free
indeed, all the discussion in congress
In war-declaratlon days was equivalent
To a formal and an official statement
that the Cubans ought TO be Independent
1t IL pretty hard lines for human beings
who have fought and suffered and lost

gle. to be so distinctly ignored In the
hour OF Spanish downfall at Santiago
our government seems disposed to treat
them much after the manner in which
Sampson. the eleventh-hour arrival, un.

The cases suggest a parallel-only. In
the matter of ignoring the Cubans
there's a hint al the politics which will
prompt the administrators treatment
