The speaker was listened to attentively
throughout his remarks and received some
applause. though I'm that respect the audi

deserved tribute to Montana's soldier
boys and wound up by appealing to his
hearers to vote the republican-populist
ticket on election day.

THE FIRST DUTY OF MONTANA.
That is the silver question Of this
campaign in Montana. Thatis the living.
overshadowing issue in the campaign.
That Is the vital proposition on which
the intelligent men OF toll In Montana
must pass-in Butte and Belt and Ana
conda and Great Falls and Sand
Coulee; men In the Missoula lumber
camps and In Livingston coal mines:
men in Beaverhead and Gallatin and
the Bitter Root. and in all Of the Sec
tions Of Montana where the general
average of prosperity is measured by
the relative prosperity OF Butte.
The moral OF IL all? 1t IL pointed, II

the voters In MontsAa do well that
they give heed. 1t can best be put in
two questions. The first OF these Is.
Can there be an advance toward eight
hour rule by a course that weakens the
assertion for free coinage in a state
where the chief industries depend on
silver's ultimate triumph? The second
question is. Do the citizens OF Montana
serve well their own interests. the in
terests of their property. Of their earn
ings. OF their families. Of their state.

rect menace to the silver cause. and
that. IL Hogan's strength were a mat
ter Of large account, 1t would be a stab
at the best interests of all classes of
labor, as well as of business. in Mon
tana.
WHERE HOGAN COMES IN.
First, a large vote for Hogan would
reduce the Campbell plurality and thus
encourage the gold oligarchy represent
ed by Mr.. Carter in the belief that free
coinage sentiment in Montana is weak
ening-a marked falling-off from this
states Bryan figures of 1896 would be
eagerly paraded in every gold-standard
community east of Omaha. Secondly,

can easily make possible the election
of Marshall. the recognized goid-stand-
ard candidate for congress. We under
take to say that there are no election
returns from any section Of the United
States that would be received in Wall
street, in the white house, and at every
goldbug headquarters with such out
bursts of enthusiastic joy as would be
the tidings that Montana has deliber-
ately voted free coinage down. The
whole goldbug world would hang the
tidings on the outer wall. The result
would be of highest significance, as
marking the beginning of the end in the
silver crusade.
Mr.. Hogan cannot be elected-that
is the absolutely certain factor in the
pending political problem in Montana.
That he will fail of election is true:
the returns will demonstrate II. But
IL the Hogan vote is so crowded as to
make possible the election of Marshall,

SOME SIDE ISSUES.
Every reader knowns. in general, to
what extent there has been a departure
from the free-coinage lines along which
1t was at first anticipated the cam
paign would run. First, in Silver Bow
county, where nearly twenty-five per
cent Of all Montana's vote is cast, there
was injected into the canvas the per-
sonal controversy representing Mr.. w.
A. Clark's revived ambition to be one
of Montana's members in the federal
senate. 1t transpired that Mr.. Clark
found himself. at the outset. wholly
without democratic strength in his own
county. He therefore drew to himself
the candidates who had been nomi-
mated by the regular administration re-
publican county convention. His vast
wealth and his known willingness to
use that wealth for the promotion of
his senatorial ambition were a formid-
able factor and thus the silver side in
Montana had to contend with opposi-
ton it had not anticipated. In the Sec
ond place, almost exclusively through
the agency Of Mr.. Clark. the candidacy
of Thomas S. Hogan became. in Silver
Bow county, an item of account. Mr..
Clark's local ticket was attached to the
Marshall, goldbug. ticket. But Mr..
Clark proposed to have two strings to
his bow-so he fixed up another ticket
which placed Hogan, for congress. at
the top Of his gold-republican ticket for
members in a legislative session that
will elect a federal senator. Hogan
consented to this.
These things are mentioned merely to
indicate wherein Montana's expression

HOW SILVER SAVES THE DAY.
The figures illustrate the point in
question. Silver is the product that
earned a dividend last year for the
Anaconda company. without the silver
earnings. last years operations would
have been practically a failure. Es-
sentally the silver item Is of the same
account to the other copper companies
in Butte as to the Anaconda company.

ed for-the Anaconda treats the run of

leaving low-grade ore untouched. Thus
the Boston and Montana's operations
show almost equivalent profits on q
much smaller bulk Of business. The
Anaconda plan increases very largely
the number of men employed and the
total OF operations at mines. smelters.
wood camps. coal fields and the like.
The Standard is not presuming to infer
that the Anaconda plan is prompted by
any philanthropic motive: the fact re-
mains. however. that the Anaconda plan
results in much larger employment OF
labor and of bulk of business in all the
communities that are reached by its
transactions.
1T Is the LIVING TRUTH.
The sum and substance Of the show
ing made this morning is that 1t IL the
undeniable truth that the successful
operation of Montana companies like
the Anaconda is vitality dependent on
silvers price. Not on proposed local
legislation, not on a vote for Hogan,
but on the right solution of the silver
question depend wages and dividends
and profits and rents and prosperity
for men in every walk OF life
in Montana! A comparatively good
going price" for copper. owing to the
astonishing developments OF recent
times in the electrical world, has been

question Of the disposition Of the troops

The War Department is taking steps for
the establishment of reserve camps at

The military medical authorities are
confident of their ability to handle and
stamp out disease among the troops in
Eastern Cuba When this has been
accomplished it is more than probable
that the majority of the troops there
may be returned to the United States
and given a short holiday, prior to the
institution of the campaign against
Havana, and it is not improbable that
some of the regiments, if entirely free
from disease, may be allowed to come
to the United States in advance of a
general movement in that direction.
Great care will be taken to avoid the

THE POPEs PROPOSAL.
Set Down at Washington as q
"FeeIer" to Test Public Feeling.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The re-
ported statement from the Vatican of
what purports to be terms of peace ac-
ceptable to both the United States and
Spain is set down here as only one of
the many ''feelers" that have been
thrown out within the past ten weeks,
probably to test public feeling in the
United States, primarily, and second
arily, to break slowly to the masses Of
the Spanish people the realization or
their complete defeat, of Which they are
yet not aware, because of the superhu-
man efforts put forth by the Spanish
Government to suppress or pervert the
news of actual events.
1t is suspected that the events named,
the annexation to the United States OF
Cuba and Porto Rico and the relin-
quishment to Spain of the Philippines,
present what may be now looked upon
as the maximum concessions that Spain
is willing to make. From this point Of
view the statement is not discouraging,
though, Of course, it must be realized
that the Spanish minimum is very far
below the American minimum. Still
there mus be some starting point for
negotiations that will in the end lead
up to peace and therefore the publ
cation of these various ''feelers' is not
by our Government, though
so far it can be positively asserted, they
have no basis of fact at least on this
side of the Atlantic.
Baron Sternberg. the German Secre-
tary of the Legation, called at both

His visit had no connection with peace
