THEY BUY THE ONTARIO.
L. Z. Collins and w. j. Clark Invest
in a Good Mine.

The Ontario mine. over the border
Of Deer Lodge county, above Rimi-
nj, is to be sold by the Merchants
National bank Of Helena for $50, 900
according to the terms Of an order of
court obtained by Receiver Wilson,
Of the bank, in Judge Knowles court.
The prospective purchasers are state
treasurer L. +. Collins and w. ].
Clark, who formerly operated at Nei-
hart. As stated in the receivers pc
tition for permission to conclude the
sale, no cash payment is to be made
but the good faith of the purchasers
is to be amply guaranteed by their
assumption Of the expense ofkeeping
the mine pumped out. The cost of
pumping, which has been between
*25 and $50 day, has been borne
by the trust since the previous OBJ
ligees relinquished their hold on the
mine. for the obvious reason that the
chance of disposing of it would have
been greatly lessened if the mine had
been allowed to fill.
Under the terms of the contract as
disclosed by the petition and order
of court the purchasers are required
to pay the following installments on
the purchse price: 10000 at the end
of six months; $1,000 at the end Of
l2 months; $4,000 at the end of Is
months, ane the remainder at the end
of "a months, making in all s65 900.

WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF
SILVER!

The dilemma i'm which the demo-
cratic press of this state would put
every silver man is no dilemma at
all. They say the only course left
for believer in silver is to vote the
democratic ticket. because they say,
the democratic party is the only con-
sistent friend of silver.
Let us see; When did the demo-
cratic party become the foster father
of bimetallsm? Never till two
years ago did the party proclaim an
unequivocal stand upon that quest
ion, and even as late as late as 1894
we find Montana democracy resolv-
ing in verbose platitudes its admira-
ton of the astute craftsmanship and
wise counsel of its imperturbable
leader Grover Cleveland. Who is
to say where that party will be two
years hence? 1t was by scratch
that the heroic Bryan prevented the
Chicago convention from going for
gold. Nothing but the eloquence
of that impromptu Roland saved the
convention from Gothamite control.
And today if Bryan were absolved
from democracy there would he lit
tie left that a decent man would
want to travel with.
Evidently the democratic press is
driving its shafts at silver republi-
cans. The silver republican party is
not very thoroughly organized, and
its position in the coming campaign
may make it one of the most inter.
esting factors, when, asking nothing
but upright men and upright GOV
ernment, and having no ticket in the
field, it will command great ground
OF advantage, and constitute the bal
ance wheel Of Montana politics.
But when political heelers and
boodlers get the opinion that a sill
yer republican must accept democ-
racy with all its vasciIating system
and its free trade vagaries, it is time
they received good lesson under
the rules of addition and subtract
ion.

OF SELFGOVERN.
MENT

1t is amusing, next to ridiculous,
to read the press reports of the con-
duct of insurgents in the Philippines
and to note the almost invariable
comment that they are not able to
govern themselves. Reporters said
the same of Garcia and his band,
that they are murderers, and plumb
erers, but the accused have given
their falshers lesson which crowns
with honor the rebels to Spanish op-
preston. They have withdrawn
from an attitude of hostility, and are
meekly awaiting deliverance from
the oppressor's yoke.
On the other hand the garrison
placed by the United States at San
tiago is deporting itself in most
lawless manner, the soldiers drink
ing, carousing and assausting women
in degree which makes Garcia and
his band ashamed of their bellicose
allies. If Gomez or Garcia permit
ted such depredations upon public
decency as are being perpetrated by
the United States troops in southern
Cuba, they would be heralded abroad
as villains of the deepest dye. Yet
the associated press keeps charging
that Garcia, Gomez and Aguinaldo
