care of the soldiers while in health and
for their careful nursing in the hour of

Yesterday morning the Standard
printed, under Denver date, the dying
request Of Frank Ficks. He was a pri-
vate in the Seventh regiment of regu-
lars-the same regiment in which Wor-
den was a captain. He, too, was the
victim of typhoid contracted in the
Santiago campaign. He. too, testified
to ill-treatment and neglect; so intense
was his feeling against the war de-
partment that he made a dying request
that he be not buried in his uniform.
Can any man blame this soldier?

Mr.. Towne's District.

Il LREADY Minnesota's Sixth dis
trict is well warmed up for the
l years campaign. That is the
district in which Montana has. in re-
cent times. taken especial interest. as
II is the one Charles A. Towne is con-
testing.
Back in 1894 Mr.. Towne was elected
10 congress as the representative of the
Sixth Minnesota district. He Is a
bright man. an eloquent and interest
ing speaker and a master of the silver
creed. He rapidly moved into promi-
hence. but the Sixth district was hardly
ripe for free coinage at that time, be-
sides, when he became a candidate for
a second term. Mr.. Towne was con-
fronted with the opposition Of Senator
Davis. backed with the abundant re-
sources which Mr. Hanna made avail
able in the campaign of 1896. The con-
test Of that year in the Sixth Minnesota
district was one of the hottest in the
country.
The forces arrayed against Mr..
Towne were the bitterest as well as
the best paid that ever attacked a can
didate for congress. The result was
that Page Morris defeated Towne. by
the narrow margin Of eve hundred
i'm a poll of about sixty thousand votes.
This year is witnessing n repetition Of
the fight between these two men, and
il is i'm energetic progress.
The Washington Post has informa-
tion which leads 1t to that
already the supporters Of Morris are
very much less boastful than they
were. Says the Post: Early in the
summer 1t was said that Mr.. Norris
would have a ~walkover. but recent de-
velupments have not been So ~enCouraG-
ing. Mr.. Towne has come bach from
the far West and has taken the stump
with characteristic earnestness. lie is
pressing To the front his record in con-
gress, which happens to have been re-
markable in the way of accomplishing
things for his constituents"
The Post adds that at present the
"shrcwd campaign managers believe
Mr. Towne to be ahead in the race
Meanwhile, however. there is to be
plenty OF fighting. Mr.. Morris has sent
to the administration an urgent APP
peal for help and ii is going TO be

Black Done For.

IN the year 1896, the New York re-
puhlicans brought out Black for gov
ernor. He was an unknown: com-
p~arativcly few New Workers had ever
heard of him; 1t was said that his nom
nation meant new men, new times and
new methods for that states republic
canism. A good many people fancied
that il was going TO be another case of
Grover Cleveland and a line Of steady
progress for Black into the white house.
as Blacks majority at the polls was a
good deal larger than the famous rec
ord made by Cleveland when he was
chosen governor. Governor Black
didn't travel long or far along fame's
highway. lie was a good-enough gov
ernor, but things in the political world
didn't come his way. To ell appearance
his one term, now nearly finished, Is all
there Is in sight for him; 1t will be no
surprise If he disappears as swiftly as
he came into view. Contrary to the
forecasts of the past week. Black kept
in TIE race for the nomination until
his name would not be presented. He
received support yesterday in the re-
publican state convention. but on the
first ballot Roosevelt had more than
three votes to one for Black, and
directly Black was put of II.

were bound TO win out, as against the

1t will be noticed that the gold ele-
ment didn't yield an inch yesterday; it
compelled the professed silverites 10

Mr.. Carter gathered about min at Hell

They'll Defend Free Coinage.

~ HE return Of the Butte republl-
can contingent that had been
protesting to be for silver back
10 the gold camp brings the. opposition
TO free coinage into more concrete form.
There were. ~so-called, two kinds of re-
publicans in Silver Bow county. Is II
true that the line Of demarcation never
was very distinct. Still, there were two
kinds of republicans in the county till
yesterday. Mckinley gets them now
not one but both.
Thus, upon the democracy in the
great mining camp falls the duty Of
keeping the free-coinage colors at the
front. The Silver Bow democrats may
be relied on to do that. Really they
can do better battle for free coinage
when they have the gold forces round
ed M and massed in n opposing
army. as is now the case in Butte.
They face this year in county politics
the original gold republicans. the ex-
silver republicans and, as we learn, a
contingent which was consulted yes
terday and which represents a dissatis-
fed element.
That is an aggregation which the
democracy in Silver Bow county can
meet and more than match. Having

democrats of the county made prudent

placed under arrest and taken TO Mas

ger. He waived examination and was
brought to Cleveland. where he
is now in Jail. The minister
vehemently denies that he is a coun-

aware that the coins and dies were in
his cellar. He declares that it is a con-
spiracy on the part of one of his rela-

GOVERNING SANTIAGO.
Civil Onicials Chosen by a Committee of
Prominent Cubans.

Santiago de Cuba. Sept. 27.-The sys-
TEN of civil government established by
General Wood is practically completed
and in good working order. Major Nc
Cleary. formerly attorney general for
Texas and a Spanish scholar. has been
appointed mayor. and the Spanish Off
cials are giving place to Cubans. Cen
eral Wood says he does not know the
capabilities of the men taking office.
They are chosen by a committed of so
prominent Cubans whom he believes to
be honest and conscientious.
This committee recommends men
whom its members think would be eff
cient in the various offices to be filed.
The choice of men by the committee
must be unanimous and must be made
over the signatures of the entire so
members. General Wood finds that the
plan works admirably. Lieutenant
Blount has been appointed to codify the
Cuban laws.
General Wood asked permission from
the Washington government to appoint
Demetrio Castillo special chief Of his
Cuban staff to represent him in dealing
with the Cuban insurgents in the coun-
try districts.
