ripple in the relation of nations on
friendly terms with one another. If any
effect of this kind should be produced by
the DeLome incident, the United States
government will have the satisfa action of
knowing that it is in no degree RESPONSE
BILE directly or indirectly. Spain cannot
allege that DeLome was trapped into
writing his letter as England was inclined
to do in the case of the Murchison
letter which Sir Sackville- West wrote.
The letter was entirely voluntary, writ
ten under no stress of excitement or pro-
vocation which would afford the sllghtest
extenuation or excuse for it. All DeLome
can say is that he did not expect
| the letter to be made public, but that OF
course amounts to nothing as defence.
| The last minister recalled at our sugges-
ton was Mr.. Loren Thurston, the
| Hawaiian representative at Washington.
His recall was asked on the ground that
he had made himself persona non grata
to orr government The case that most
nearly resem blas the DeLome case hap
fpened during the Presid sntial campaign
in the last year of Mr.. Cleyeland's first
administration. Lord Sackville West,
then British minister at Washington,
wrote letter to one Murchison, alleged
to be British American. who had asked
his advice, advising him to vote for Mr..
Cleveland and intimating that q Cleveland
administration would be likely TO- be more
agreeable to England than a Harrison
administration. The letter got out and
was published in tbs newspapers. The
minister had to admit it's authenticity.
Being in the midstiof presidential CAM
paign the letter created a good deal of ex-
oitement, and was eagerly seized upon as
an effective political weapon. Mr.. Cleve-
land promptly demanded the recall of the
minister, but Lord Salisbury called for
proof of the authenticity of the letter.
| Thereupon Mr.. Cleveland summarily
handed Sackville West his passports.
There was good deal of irri-
tation in England over the
abrupt manner in which he was
treated, the PRESS attributing it
in large degree to political considerations,
and no doubt they did figure init to some
extent. The offence was a seri-
GUS one, however. and constituted good
ground for the minister's recall: but
the exigencies of the political situation
tended to exaggerate it's seriousness and
spurred Mr.. Cleveland into harsher and
more precipitate action tnan he would
have taken probably in times of no politi-
cal excitement. Sackyille- Vests offence,
though surrounded y many circum-
stances like DeIome's, was essentially
different in it's character. His was inter-
ference in our political affairs. De-
Lome's is an insulting reference to the
President. Sackville-West's reputation
as diplomat was destroyed by his lndls-
oretion and DeLome's will be by his.

The chances for the passage Of the bill
restricting immigration by the House at
this session are not very brilliant. Strong
opposition to 1T has developed insthe West,
the Germans, it is said, being almost
unanimous againstsit. This condition OF
public sentiment has naturally affected
western congressman, and they are be-
coming very Indifferent to the measure,
if not positively hostile. Mr.. Cannon,
the head of the appropriation committee,
and one of the most influential members
of the House. says the West does not want
us to NEEDLE with this immigration issue.
He recalls that the Republicans in both
Illinois and Wisconsin were badly beaten
on the ''little red school house" issue,
and he does not want to try any more
such issues. The West is doubtless power
full enough toskeepsthe Immigration bill
out of sight if it wants to, and the indi
cation is thatlthat is the way it feels
now.

BeLoME's LETTER.

Doubtless the purpose of the Cuban
Junta in making public the DeLome let
ter was to still further strain the relations
between this country and Spain. About
the insult to President Mckinley per sc
they cared nothing. The letter ought
to have no such effect. 1t was purely a
personal letter, not written in connection
with his business as diplomat, and
therefore, not even constructiyely, can 1t
implicate the Spanish government in the
offering of an insult to this one. So also
the demand for his recall will be purely
on his personal account. DeLome has
made himself obnoxious to our govern
ment by personal insult to it's head and
for this and this only his recall is asked.
It can only be made governmental
affair by the Spanish ministrys refusing
to promptly acoede to our request, and
that in all probability it will not do
But while logically this incident ought
not 70 have any effect upon the relations
between the two governments it is by no
means certain that it will not. When
relations are already strained the tension
is often increased by incidents really irrel-
levant, and which would not produce q

President Barrios of Guatemala was q
strong and forceful ruler, and though the
government of Guatemala is nominally
republican, he might very properly be
called a dictator. There had been
numerous rebellions against his author
ity, but he succeeded in putting all of
them down, and only succumbed to
the assassin. 1t will be strange If new
rebellion does not promptly break out
now and a long period of anarchy follow.
OF course much depends upon the charao-
ter and capacity of the Vice President
who succeeds Barrios. but in all proba-
hi1ity there will be more or less fighting
before he or somebody else is firmly es-
tablished In authority. The people are
entirely unfit to live under a genuine
republican government, and only some
strong man like Barrios can keep the
country out of the anarchy, into which it
easily relapses when the people are free to
follow their bent.

SECRETARY LONGS CHEERFUL VIEW
OF the Republicans Prospects as Affected
by the Teller Resolution.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune caught John D. Long
Just after Cabinet meeting Tuesday,
and the Secretary was ready to talk.
The inference is that the head of the
Navy Department reflected the views of
the President and his advisers "It
seems, y said Secretary Long. "as if the
Lord or their own folly had delivered the
Democrats into our hands. Had they
kept still, the usual reaction which takes
place after Presidential election, and
the usual cry that the new tariff had not
put a gold spoon in every mans mouth
might have gwen them the next House
of Representatives But they have intro
duced and passed by their majority in
the Senate resolution practically favor
ing deprecated currency and the free
coinage of silver.
"By this promise of 44-cent dollar and
of the practical discredit of the financial
commit themselves to policy which will
reduce the value of every laboring man S
wages, of every veterans pension, and OF
every penny saved and laid up in our sa-
wings banks. This resolution was carried
in the Senate by Democratic vote. 1t
was Ecarried there by the votes OF just
those States which went for Bryan and
the Democracy in the last PresidAp tial
election.
yesterday in the House, in which
there is a Republican majority OF so, rep
rcsenting the States which carried that
election, it was overwhelmingly defeated
by practically solid Republican vote.
The result is that we shall go to the coun
try next fall in the Congressional cleo
tions upon a square issue between a
sound currency and a deprecated one;
between maintaining ana impairing the
credit OF the United States; between Civ
ing the industrial people of the country a
dollar worth 100 cents for their labor and
product and giving them dollar worth
40 cents.
.sOn such an issue as this we shall not
only rally again all the Republican
forces but add to them, as we did in
1895. all sound money Democrats land
their number is legion) whose interests
and whose principles are for a sound cur
rency. This will enable US to overcome
the ordinary reaction which | have above
referred to. 1t will enable US also to over
come the cry that is always raised against
new protective tariff when it first goes
into operation.
"The signs all are that under the new
tariff the revenues are increasing so that
they will exceed the expenditures, that
our industries ara reviving, and that eve
| nv one of them which has been protected
by the new tariff is enlarging its output
and paving the way to an increase oi
wages-the only exception being that OF
The cotton industry, in nearly all the
schedules relating to which no change
was made. Yet even with this letter
nrospeot as to our increased revenues and
imnroving industries, the chance for Re
publican success has been tremendously
enhanced by this new, phase of the cur
| renoy issue.

1t is scarcely possible that the Chicago
Jury that convicted Luetgert fixed his
punishment of imprisonment instead OF
death on account of any extenuating cir
cuInstances in the case, for the evidence
showed that if he was guilty of murder
A. was murder of the most atrocious de-
scription. Probably the truth is that the
verdict represents a compromise with
some member of the jury who was not
quite sure enough of the mans guilt to
vote to hang him, but was sure enough
to vote to put him in prison for life.

FOOTBALL TALK.
Arrangements VIII BE Made for a Game
on ThnnlSsgiNing DAY.


The Anaconda football club held a
meeting at its gymnasium on Tuesday
evening at which the outline of a plan
for the seasons work was discussed. n
roll call of the players developed the
fact that there are Il men now in the
city who are football players. Phil
Daniels was instructed to confer with
the nagemen of the Butte team
with a view to perfecting arrangements
for a game on Thanksgiving day. II
was the opinion of some of the players
that the game should be arranged for
an earlier date. but owing to the po-
litical campaign, which will be at its
hottest in another month, it was finally
decided to have the game on Thanks
giving day. The Butte team has been
greatly strengthened by the reinstate-
ment of Buck" Hall and the presence
of Jim Hooper. A~naconda's team VIII
also be a strong one, as Searight, Sto-
rey. O'Meara and Crowley, who went
10 the war, have returned and will be
out for practice as soon as the team is
fully r~eorganized. Practice work will
be commenced next week. 1t may be
that an Eeastern trip will be made
some time during the season., as Chicago
is anxious for a game with Anaconda.
IL the trip is made other Eastern cities
will also be visited. A trip to California
during the holidays is also planned.
The present year promises to be a good
one for the pigskin kickers. Another
melting of the local team will be held
Monday evening.
