Andy Richards is quite sure that
Governor Leedy is "copperhead" be-
cause In his speech before the state
convention the other day he saw fit
to criticise the dilly-dally war policy
Of the national administration. Now
'cOpperhead" is deaned by Webster
as "a nickname applied to a person in
the northern states who sympathized |
with the south during the civil war"
Therefore the imputation Richards
desires to cast Is that Leedy and the |
Popnlist party are sympathizing with
Spain In this conflict. or course the
imputation falls Of its own weight.
But Richards goes on to point out
what wonders have been accomplished
by the administration 10 so short a
space OF time. He neglects however
to mention that Governor Leedy, de.
spite the slanderous columny aud vul.

A week or 80 ago we noticed 10 some
Wellington paper something about
the ruined" agricultural college.
The Manhattan Mercury is a Repub.
lican paper, Last week it referred to
the ruined" institution as follows:
The president and faculty OF the
Agricultural College are confronted
With the puzzling problem: "How
are We to properly care for our stu.
dents with our present facilities?"
The increased attendance during the
term just drawing to close has been
so great that all the departments are
crowded. Over 800 students are now
enrolled, with indications that the
1000 mark will be reached within a
year. Additions to the faculty are
now Deeded and the state will be
called upon to provide more room at
the next session Of the legislature.

Republicans headed by their candi-
date for governor, are using the silly
twaddle about Leedy being forced to
stand on a platform In which he did
not believe, referring to the metro
politan police law. Their assumption
is in the nature Of pettifoggery.
There were no Populists at the con-
vention who did not believe the law
should be repealed. The division was
not over the repeal Of the law but
simply a question Of policy as to
whether it should be suspended i'm
mediately or repealed regularly. By
taking advantage Of this technical
assumption Mr.. Stanley has shown

seamen.

The Philadelphia Times When
the volunteer jack tars are in the city
to take the monitors OF to their de-
fensive posts at Portland. Boston and
New York, some curious social condi-
tons have been observed. Many OF
these naval reserve men are OF high
social standing and wealth. but are
serving as seamen n wearing the
uniform OF their grade. While willing
to perform the lowly tasks OF ship
duty-holystoning decks. scruboing
paint. cleaning boots. scraping oars
and securing bright work-they are by
no means ready to accept the dietary
Of their mess. and. they get
leave, hurry on to swell estaurants to
order the good things they have been
used to from childhood up, which good
things often include the big cold bot
tie and the little hot bird.
Now, this desire on the part OF these
gentlemen seamen has caused the
naughty walters at such places as the
Bellevue and the Continental hote,
many moments filled with great aston
ishment, for to hear from the lips of
men in seamen's garb words indicative
of deep knowledge of things gustator-
ial, in the opinion of the walters. al
most passes understanding. And yet
these walters have been told time and
again by the men in seamen's garb
that the bird was overdone, or the

His regular income from consultations

sums for services In other cities. One

no doubt that they will go II allowed.

as yet, but the captain Is expecting n

He said tonight that IL hi only knew
hat the troop would be called he could
have a full quota here inside of a few
days n camped on the West Side.
The citizens Of Great Falls would be
very willing to subscribe enough
money n provisions to keep the boys
for . week.. and the time could be well
spent in drilling and making other
preparations. The members who are
out in the country are ready to start
on short notice, n many of them
would bring well-broken horses of the
weight required by the government
regulations in with them for the use of
such comrades as were not so well pro-
vided. While II is no doubt true that
the troop would require considerable
drilling to get them into condition and
form. at the same time no better ma
teriai for cavalry could be found in the
whole world. All of them are first
class riders n many of them possess
unusual skill with the revolver and
rife. In fact, the bulk Of the troops is
made up of everyday range riders. and
everyone knows what that means-rid-
ers who at different times have aston
fehed the world.
The people Of Great Falls commonly
hope that the troop here will be Sc
lected at this call, n IL they are they
will be sent away well prepared for
every emergency. Company A has
made an enviable record at Camp
Smith, and Great Falls believes IL car
put up a troop of cavalry which will
rank beside it after 1t has had an OPP
~portunity to drill.
