close.

sHEN the senate voted a few
w days ago on the proposition to
take up the Teller resolution.
Senator Quay sided with the silverites.
The vote naturally attracted attention
because Quay il VIGOROUSLY a goldbug.
His vote settled nothing, as the silver
ties had a good majority, whichever
side he might have taken; he might
have refrained from voting at all. as
many senators did, and his silence would
not have occasioned remark.
Nobody CONSTITUTES the senator's vote as
the evidence of an intention on his part
to range himself with silver's friends
He has before him the experience of
Mr.. Cameron, who was senator for
Pennsylvania and whose retirement, be-
cause he dared to be for silver, was
enforced by methods which Mr.. Quay
helped to make effective
Quay's unaccountable vote is the more
strange because it comes just in time to
be of service in the anti-Q Quay move
ment that is to be organized in Penn
sylvania during the first week in
February. This fight is to be managed
by what is known in Pennsylvania as
the Business Mems league, political as
ISOLATION which is supposed TO have had
it's inspiration in the Wanamaker circle.
The league has issued invitations for
meeting to be held in Philadelphia, and
they are invited to attend and partici-
pate who believe that Quay's career in
the senate ought to end in March, 1899
OF course, the leagues plan is to cam
paign for legislature that will be hos
tile to Quay.
OG-hand. the popular impulse will be
to sheer at this league movement-Quay
will laugh at it. These republican
bosses, however. are conscious that they
are living in times when sneers don't
count. A mere handful of disaffected
men in New York, who really had no
letter complaint than that a share in
the spoils didn't come their way, tackled
Mr.. Plat less than a year ago. Their
threats seemed at the time to be pre-
posterous. Platt scoffed at them, and
the public really felt that these kick
ors" could accomplish nothing. Yet the
result is that these people left Mr.. Plat
little better than total wreck the first
time they met him at the polls. 1t has
more recently been the same with Mr.
Hanna-as far as his prestige in ma
tional politics is concerned, he might as
well have been defeated at Columbus.
In the trio of republican bosses, Quay
ranks third, and the movement recently
started in Pennsylvania is the preface to
a war that will be a year long. with
possibilities as disastrous for Quay as
the recent boss-smashing performances
in New York and Ohio have been.

The Matter of Gambling &.

~OR the purpose of a conviction
there appears TO be no dispute
as to the evidence that was laid
before the jury in the gambling case
recently tried in the local district court.
1t was sure-enough case of viola
ton of the law of the state in prohibi-
ton Of gambling; the authorities could
hardly have presented a more conclu-
sive array of facts. But this was not
case where the jury reached conclu-
sions on the facts. on the contrary.
the plan evidently was to vote an
acquittal in the face of the facts. That
oath to find a verdict on the evidence,
undertook to bring in a verdict against
the law of the state.
Well, there are juries and juries. One
of these days. the county viii manage
to muster a jury made up of men who
will uphold the law and not encourage
the breaking of it. Public opinion in
Montana approves the law and may be
counted on to defend it. Most of the
men who ranked as professional gamb-
lers in the cities of Montana paid to
the law the respect that was due it (,
when, last July. the anti-gambing law
went into effect these men either quit
the state or quit the business. Gamb-
ling became a felony, and the author
with composed of the men whose idea
is that they can run games just the
same and defy the law.
There isn't a shadow of doubt as TO
what the result will be of the conflict
thus brought on between law and those
who propose to try it on against the
law. 1t is a conflict in which the la v
will come out on top, sure. or course.
now and then you will run up against
jury like the one that has just been
sitting in this city, but such ;aries
won't be able to do very much harm;
it's a safe assertion that their acti
simply serves to harden popular 'pin-
ion in support of the anti-gamblinR
law. 1t isn't in the mind of the public
that ninety per cent of the gamblers
who were fair and square enough to
feel bound by the law. shall be choked
off in Montana while the ten-per-cent
remnant which proposes to defy the
law shall be permitted to run games
right along, just as If a law prohibiting
gambling had never been passed.
The trouble with the conclusion
reached by the jury in question is that
It will encourage certain men in the be-
lief that they can run games in this
city with impunity. They will oper-
ate, there will be more arrests. and
somebody will get hit mighty hard
Because, it's a fixed fact that the
county and city authorities here have
got to uphold the law that prohibits
gambling. That is one of the sure
things

ton of the sessions held last year when
in that city the appointment was
made of the monetary commission,
whose chairman, Senator Edmunds.
has lately been before the house com
mittee on banking and currency. This
organization of goldbugs mas managed
to get the cart before the horse. The
original plan was that the commission,
before it submitted its work to con-
gress. was to lay the result of it's labors
before the convention now in session.
Whatever reason there was for il, Mr..
Edmunds did not wait for the conven-
TONS approval of the commissions

and, in Washington those whom gold
standard plans interest have had a
FORTNIGHT for the discussion of the rela-
tive merits of single standard schemes
as developed by the commission and
as invented by Secretary Gage. The
Indianapolis element, as is plain to
see. intends to put itself at the head of
the gold standard movement. one may
estimate how advanced the views of
this association of goldbugs are when
one remembers that even Mr.. Gage ad-
mits that the commissions plans are
too radical.

For the Bonds.


ton TO remark concerning it that it
passed off quietly. That was the
case with the special election that ell
gagged, yesterday, the attention of the
voters in Deer Lodge county. 1t was
quiet, although ii brought to the polls
a much larger number of voters than
is the rule for special elections. 1t was
important--it involved the voting of
bonds in the sum of one hundred thou
sand dollars for the purpose OF build
ing a court house. by a very large
majority the bonds were voted and
that result must be regarded as wise
and gratifying conclusion.
At yesterdays polls the city's vote
was almost as good as solid-the oppo-
sition to bonding was hardly six per
cent of the total vote. 1t will be re-
membered that in this city eighty odd
votes were cast against Anaconda for
the capital Evidently we still have
among us some of the city's former
foes: in addition. yesterdays opposl-
ton. within the city, included a score
or two of voters who are not pleased
with the site for the court house al
ready selected and purchased by the
county commissioners
Next in Importance to the vote cast
in this city-as far as public interest is
concerned-was the vote of the little
city of Deer Lodge; there are people'in
Anaconda who fancied that. by its vote
of yesterday, the city down the valley
would show that 1t has made up its
mind to abandon its sentiment of re-
sentiment toward the county seat. The
Deer Lodge vote does not sustain this
view: the vote in that city was prac-
tically solid against the bonds. That
this feeling of hostility on the part of
Anaconda's neighbors down the valley
is senseless, they themselves must GER
tainly realize. That 1t is vain and I'M
awaiting is proven by yesterdays re-
turns which show that Anaconda's
lively suburb of Carroll cast more votes
than the total poll of the city of Deer
Lodge.
Besides. the vote for other parts of
the county is in evidence. Al points
like Stuart, Warm Springs and Ellis
ton the vote for Anaconda was crafty
ing, while the light vote cast at other
precincts at a distance from Anaconda
shows that If the good people of the
city of Deer Lodge have grievances,
these are not shared by the people OF
the county.
However that may be, the county
seat question has now been carried
through its last stages. The people of
the county are manifestly in favor of
the building in this city of an endur-
ing home for the county government,
and 1t is to be hoped that the portion
Of the county's acknowledgement in
numbers-to whom this arrangement
has not hitherto been altogether agree

that there is no longer any ground for
