WHAT'S IN. A.. NAME.

Those Montana democrats who
have set themselves up in opposition
to Bryan, Jones and the other ma
tional leaders of the party in the
matter Of fusion cheap>y insist that
there can be no such a thing as a
"silver republican. Their conten-
tion is made on the irrelevant feature
Of a name. They subordinate the
principles which a party may en-
dorse to tic title it may bear. Thus
we are told there can be no such a
thing as "gold democrat" yet
prior to the Chicago convention
there. were nothing else but gold
democrats, applying the same test
Of faith, namely, the national atti-
tude Of the party. At the convcn-
tion there were a few more s'silver
'democrats' than there were 'gold
democrats" and the majority die
tated the nominee and the platform
upon which :he should stand. Had
the majority been the other way the
''gold democrats would have in
sisted there can be no such thing as
"a ''silver democrat"
The fact is, the name of a politi-
cal party cuts no figure whatever,
Time was when the principles OF the
democratic party were labeled Gre
publican" without effecting any
change in their application to na.
tional Affairs. The general princi.
pies Of the republican party once
presented themselves to the public
under the title OF "whig," yet the
name had no effect upon their merit.
The cheap twirling Of phrases to the
effect that theirs can be M SucE
thing as a "silyer republican" has tc
do wholly with the relevancy of a
name, without reference to the
principles for which political party
may stand. AS the silver republican
is an emanation from the republican
party, his political title is a proper
one. The gold democrat, however
| is not satisfied with a name indica
tive Of his policy, SO he labels him
self a "national Democrat" in honor
Of the policy of that party prior tt
the convention of 1896. 1t is really
amusing to see the anti fusion press
gravely trying to prove "there car
be no such thing as a silver repub]i

LOOKS AFTER HIS FRIENDS.

Albert L. Love scored a home run
yesterday by being appointed register
Of the BoZcman land office. Mr..
Love was a member of the legisl3-
ture three years ago representing g
Jefferson county in the house. He
also ran for state auditor on the re-
publican ticket at the last general
election, but went down with the
rest of the ticket. Last summer he
was employed by the Yellowstone
Park Transportation c0nlpany in an
important capacity. He should make
good land officer. having all the
requirements to fill the position Tho
appointment acccntuates one thing
and that is that Senator Thos. II
Carter takes care Of his friends
There are worse traits in man than
that. He might have appointed
relatives to Office instead of merely
friends, or he might have been salts
fed to have only the friendship OF
his relatives. Recorder.

Business all over Montana is i'm.
proving, is the report made by com
mcrcial travellers and also by Helena
jobbers. While there is not the
enormous consumption Of all sorts OF
goods there was in Helena from 1890
to 1898, nevertheless there is steady
growth of business which indicates
that when spring opens and the
mines begin to work that are now
closed, when the farmers begin
operations and the stockgrowerS be-
gin to move their herds and f1ocks,
1898 will be the best. year the mer-

British Getting Ready for War.

Special significance attaches to
the latest news from Halifax. 1T
seems that all former soldiers and
army reserve men in that city and
throughout Canada have been order
cd to report for service. This means
that Great Britain as well as the
United States is getting ready for
war. r.....
There was time, not very long
ago. either, when military activity
on the part Of the great English
speaking nations would have been
ominous Of a clash OF arms between
them. In fact, there have been a
good many such times since the en-
battled farmers Of Copcord fred at
Lexington that famous WOrld-re-
sounding shot. During all that time
there has never been time, before
the present: when there was any
thing suggestive Of "two hearts that
beat as one" in the military pre-
parations Or activities of either

Indifferent to what is being threat-
cncd in that farotf region. Nor, on
the other hand, can Great Britain
afford to leave unimproved any OPP
portunity Of friendship with the
United States.
1t is one Of the pcauliaritics Of
this situation ta.at1 tlle, TMteG States
does, I0t need Great britain, while
that country, great as it is, does need
us. We are threatened with dhe
hostility Of only one nation, and that
is a very weak and impotcnt one,
while the danger to England is that
Russia will have the alliance OF both
Germany and France in her designs
on China. So far as concerns Rus
sa's anxiety for an icefrcc port,
that is only reasonable, but if. as
rumored the great continental
powers propose to dismcmber CAjna,
polandizc it, then the United States
would protest.
However all this may be, the fact
that the British government is get
ting its military reserves in readiness
for action shows that it is thoroughly
in earnest. A few years ago, when
the Venezuela question was at the
acute stage, there was good deal Of
bcllicose talk in the press, but no
call upon the reserves. Should the

chances that he bet So, 900 on E-Colne,
driving the odds from even to 3 to 5
and to ). Billy Randall, Dune
Cameron and the smaller fry Of the
Montana contingent playing the
game here also bet heavily on the
race, following the lead Of Frank.
The race was one Of the greatest re-
ycrSals OF form yet witnessed during
the present racing season. Cass
Sloan had tic mount Of E-Comc and
managed to get the colt off next to
the last in a field Of eight. This
did not startle the colts hackers, for
in previous races he had run all
around such 4 field and won easily.
Turning into the stretch E:Comc
was third, but it was seen he was
running like a stick. -Four lengths
