Asking No Questions.

Missoula. Dec. 26.-Some months q
a well known young man of this city
went To sleep during n performance at
the Union opera house-what the play
was does not matter. There have been
several here this season that would put
almost anybody to sleep. But that has
nothing to do with this story. The
young man I'm question slept soundly
and when he awaked. he discovered he
had been touched for his diamond stud.
He did not say much about II. but he
had a pretty good idea where the stone
had gone. He was unable. however. to
fix the proof definitely and had about
decided to let the matter drop. Christ
mas afternoon he went to the postoffice
for his mail and in an envelope, mailed,
according to the post-mark. I'm this
city. he found his los stone. neatly
packed In a pill box. He considers
himself very fortunate and Is asking no
questions.

Intervention the Policy of the United
States.

I do not want to take part In foreign
wars: but I would proclaim II from the
housetops that we should intervene in
every case In which our material inter
ests are involved.
III the hair of the head of an Amer
lean citizen is ~wrongfully touched IN a
foreign country, we are all Of accord I'm
saying that immediate redress should
be demanded. We agree that we viii
fight on such an issue. There can lie
no better cause of war; for. IL a gov
m does not protect its citizens,
90 what use is IL? For what purpose
are governments organized. except to
secure their people life. liberty and the
free pursuits of happiness?
Much as the so-called vagaries Of the
emperor of Germany have been ridicul-
ed. II must be admitted that Ills
foreign policy has been wise. Wherev-
er a German has been injured or OPP
pressed. in his person or his property,
ships have been sen to demand redress.
Wherever the German eagle has set Ills
claws. there he remains, and, accord
ing to a recent declaration of the EN-
peror, there he will remain. Are we
weaker or more timid han Germany?
The protection afforded by a govern
ment cannot end with mere protection
of the persons of Its subjects. II must
necessarily extend to the rights Of
property as well. For instance, snail
we stand by. silent. bound by the doc
trine of non-intervention, and see
America excluded from China? Shall
we tacitly consent that China shall I've
closed to us? Shall We u~nproteetinsly
agree tina one favored nation alone
shall have the right to build railroads
I'm China. or in any province thereof?
Shall we deliberately to Eu-
rope. now afiame with the fire Of col
o~nization that we have no interest In
any disposition IL may make of Siam,
Korea or China?
reassert that II Is our duty to inter-
vene In all matters occurring abroad
in which IL Is to our interest tn inter-
vene. l mean our material interest-:he
interest of our railroads. our merchants,
our manufacturers. our ships, our trade
and our commerce.
Far be IL from us to endeavor To force
republican institutions on the peoples II
N world. Far be IL from us to inter
fere with the operations of any govern
ment in it's proper territory, be II ues-
potic or be IL free. II Is none Of our
business how Russia. or England. or
Germany rules IL people.
What I DO insist on Is. that the bag
Me world over. shall protect all Ameri
cans in their persons. their property,
and their commerce; n that on all
occasions W. should demand such pro-
tection.-Hon. Charles DENLY in the De-
cember Forum.
