democrats to enhance the strength Of
the state ticket in that county by NOM
mating a faultless county ticket. This
should be done. not solely for the pur-
pose Of strengthening the state ticket,
but in order that good. competent men
may hl Silver Bow county's offices.
The democrats will meet in convention
next Tuesday TO place a county ticket
in the field. There is very little doubt
that the men named for office by the
democratic convention next Tuesday
will be the next county officials. While
the democrats may feel reasonably GER
tain of success in silver Bow county
this fall; that condition of things may
not always exist. The way to insure
it's continuance is to nominate a high
grade Of men for office. Nothing
strengthens a party so much as does
the placing Of good men in office.
\ veritable army Of candidates now
seeks nomination at the hands Of the
democratic county convention and it Is
TO be hoped that the delegates to this
convention will properly realize the
high responsibility which rests upon
them. 1t is not sufficient that a man
is a good democrat and has fought tho
battles Of the party for years. a man
may he a good democrat and still not
make a good official. In addition 10 as
certaining that he is loyal to his party,
the democratic delegates should see
that the candidate for whom they vote
ia honest and is competent in all re-
spects to worthily Ill the office To
which he may aspire. Heretofore mis-
takes have sometimes been made. All
parties have made them. Let men be
nominated this year whose services Will
be such as hereafter to commend to the
people the party which nominated them
not such as TO reproach the party in
years To come.
The people Of Silver Bow county
want the county offices filled with good
men. and the certainty that the candi-
dates for these offices are good men is
Of more importance To the taxpayers
and to citizens generally than the plat
form that they may be running on. The
democratic county convention should
see that the candidates II places I'm

Montana being a new state and there be-
ing no precedent to go by.
Mining litigation is an important fea-
turc Of that which comes before us. An
instance I'm which the court takes pride
occurred in litigation of this character.
Some years ago the supreme court OF
Montana had before Il the Amy-Silver-
smith case. one involving the right Of To-
Gators where the strike Of the vein enter-
ed at the end line and passed out through
the side line. The court he'd that the To-
Gator was entitled to extra lateral rights
as IL the strike had gone through the two
end lines. This case was appealed to the
supreme court of the United States and
reversed. Afterward a case went up from
the Idaho supreme court to the supreme
court Of the United States. the title being
the Tyler claim against the Last Chance,
whore the same question was involved as
I'm the Montana case. The supreme court
OF the United States decided the Idaho
case upon "A question not involved In the
Amy-Siversmith case. but said II the

"TheTeafter the Black Rock and Mag
ara case came before the supreme court
Of Montana and that court reasserted the
doctrine announced i'm the Amy-Silver-
smith case upon the same question involv-
ed in that last mentioned action. To the
credit of the supreme court of Montana
the supreme court Of the United States m
the Black Rock-Niagara case, which
went up on appeal. upheld the doctrine
contended for In the Amy-Silversmith
case. which gives the prospcCtor extra lat
eral rights wherever lines may cross"
Judge Pemberton declined to discuss
politics in Montana, although the situa-
ton there is growing warm. lie says he
has been out Of politics for eight years.
This is the period he has served on tha
bench, having been "A district Judge two
years before being elevated to the SUI

that he will be the choice of practically
all parties for reelection this fall. for,

A careful nerusaI If the silver re-

bimetallic plank, Yet ii has been gos-

not a word in the silver republican
platform in condemnation Of Mckinley

a One-Sided Fusion.

n CCORDING to the Inter Mount
ain. the fusion between the silver
republicans and the populists
has not as yet been completed, and il
will remain for the central committees
OF the two parties to determine whether
or not the fusion shall be perfected. The
silver republicans, in their convention,
rejected the fusion proposition offered
by the populists. and then proceeded to
nominate candidates for chief justice
and associate Justice, having already
nominated their candidate for congress
man. They made no nomination for
clerk of the supreme court, il being
understood that their central commit
tee would indorse the populist Candi-
date for that office, provided the popu-
lists should indorse the several silver
republican nominees.
The ~popunsts were. indeed, left in a
humiliating position by the silver re-
publican convention. The liter had
nominated the entire ticket. except
clerk OF the supreme court. which was
left for the populists. II they would be
satisfied with that: otherwise they could
take nothing. II is no wonder that pop
ulists are nocking back into the demo-
cratic ranks The consolation to the
populists is in the fact that the fusion
candidates who will be so cruelty beat

publicans rather han %populists.

Mrs. Tropcich, with Disastrous Results.
A complaint was sworn to yesterday
whereby hangs quite a story of
The scene is located IN the Austrian
colony in the eastern part Of town.
About a year ago Joe Tropcich sent for
a young and beautiful Austrian girl.
who had been his sweetheart in the old
country. There lived in the Austrian
colony a man named Joe Klamanich,
who fell i'm love with the young woman.
She married Tropcich. however, Inc on
the day of wedding Klamanich and an
other man got into a quarrel, in which
Klamanich stabbed the other man with
a knife. For this offense he was prose-
cuted and sent TO the penitentiary.
Three or four days ago Klamanich's
term expired. and he came back to An
aconda. As soon as he arrived here he
began paying attentions to Mrs. Trop-
cich. Day before yesterday Klamanlch,
during Tropcich's absence, called upon
Mrs. Tropcich, bringing with him a
love token in the form of 10 cents worth
of candy. This he laid at the feet of
the fair Mrs. Tropcich and begged her
to fly with him, n adding hat if she
had any sense she would leave her hus-
band and come with him.
Mrs. Tropcich. however. had no re-
sponsive chord in her heart for Klam-
anich and she spurned his love and his
candy.
When her husband came home she
told him all about il, n Tropcich got
his gun and camped on the trail of him
who would despoil his home. He met
Klamanich and warned him that If he
ever stuck his nose inside his house
again he would make a sieve of his
body. Klamanich did not appear TO be
very much i'm fear of Tropcich's u
and Tetorted that he would stay away
from the house while Tropcich was at
home, but when the latter was at work
he would make another call.
Thereupon Tropcich came up town
and swore out a warrant for Klaman-
iCh's arrest.
Tropcich. his wife and their child are
said to live happily, and were getting
along well until Klamanich put in his
appearance.

of sentiment among the democrats Of

has taken and as to the merits Of the
ticket.
There's no denying 1.-THE Judgment
of the state, not very loudly expressed
because most men are willing TO accept
convention decrees-is that best Of all
would be unity Of action by all the
friends of silver in the matter Of candi-
dates for state offices. That sentiment.
however. as the Standard adjudges pub
lie opinion. does not occasion a feeling
Of dissatisfaction with the announced
results: on the contrary. Montana DEM
ocrats accept the situation cheerfully.
and they feel assured that their posi-
ton is greatly strengthened by the ex-
cellence Of the ticket named by the
state convention. There is no doubt
whatever hat the leadership Of Mr..
Campbell find the heartiest approval
the convention was ~singularly fortunate
