The young ruler has made rec
ord during his short reign rarely
equalled in the history OF Europe
Ambitious, but impetuous, brave but
reckless, patriotic but egotiStic, he
has inaugurated a policy for his
Empire which has nearly paralyzed
his conservative advisers, and which
is threatening the peace of the
world. Imbued with the ideas Of
the Iron Chancellor, he believes not
alone in United Germany, but he
claims the supremacy of his country
and people in the ruling of the
world. His German English descent
is felt in his autocratic rule at home
and his desire to expand his domin-
ion abroad. He is ruler whose
career all Germans watch with Just
pride but with great anxiety. His
enemies at home and abroad call
him madman, probably because
they cannot aud will not understand
his lofty motives in making Ger
many the ruling power in the world.

Deer Lodge Nov. 4.-Bonnres all over

fied the people there was to be an old
time democratic rally at Cottonwood to-
night. A large and enthusiastic crowd
of representative democrats gathered
at the hall early to listen to Hon. A. j.
Campbell expound the principles of
pure democracy. The speaker took up
the silver question as the only issue In
this campaign. and held the attention
OF the audience for more than an hour.
during which time he presented the
silver question In all It's phases, and
with argument which could not be re-
futed convinced his hearers that silver
and silver alone was the only and par
amount issue in the pending campaign.
He was interrupted again and again
during his speech by rounds Of ap-
plause. which indicated more than
anything else that he had touched a
athletic chord In the hearts Of all
present. II was by far the largest and
most enthusiastic gathering that has
greeted a political speaker here during
the campaign. and Is a sure indication
OF which way the people will vote on
Tuesday next.

~ HIS newspaper Is willing to rest
it's appeal in behalf of an en-
phatic expression for silver on
the argument drawn from the self in

in this announcement. the Standard is
Indifferent to q charge brought by any
goldbug that the argument Is one
through which a selfish motive runs.
This is a congressional election. Mon

OF representatives.: the state is at least
entitled to have in that one representa-
tive a man known to be loyal to the
welfare of his state and unfiinching
in his devotion to the material WELL
being Of his constituents.
In every eastern manufacturing con-
stituency you hear the constant cry
for tariff. That is to say. these con-
stituencies want the government to re-
inforce the natural resources of their
particular district with taxation that

OF the United States. Silver Bow coun-

SOME HOME TESTIMONY.

One Man Out Of the Way In Butte who
Knows How IL Is.
James Cullen. who lives at No. so2
East Park street. is one miner in Butte
who used to work in the mines of w.
A. Clark, at Jerome, Arizona. He
ought to know pretty well about how
things are conducted there. for he
worked there is months during the
years 1894 and 1895. Mr.. Cullen is a
much respected member of the Butte
Miners union and one of its officers.
Mr.. Cullen was seen by a Standard re-
porter yesterday.
Have I worked at Jerome?" said
Mr.. Cullen. repeating the reporters

Everybody had to board there except
the married men. They could live with
their families. but they had to buy
everything at the company store"
"You don't mean to say that there
was a company store at Mr.. Clark's
town in Arizona?" exclaimed the re-
porter
"well, II there ever was a company

you can get them for s1.50 in Butte.

can get them for so cents. A jumper
cost sl.25 there. and here IL costs 60
cents"
II suppose that the wages are enough
higher in Jerome to make up the diff
ference in prices?" queried the reporter.
Il guess you never were in Jerome"
replied Cullen. AT the time I was
there. there were l6 men paid $3.50 per
day. The balance of the 400 men were
paid s225 and $3.50. They had to pay
81 day for board at the company

never get any beef. The hogs belong

The Claim Against Turkey.

Turkey shows disposition not to comply
with our demand for pay for American
property destroyed at the time of the Ar
menian massacres. She is reported to be
taking refuge behind the assertion that
whatever destruction occurred was the
work of a mob, and that she Is not to be
held for damages in such a case. Minister
Angel, however. Is pressing the matter,
and as he is an experienced diplomat there
need be no fear that it will not receive the
proper attention
The case may be all the more difficult
because of the position this government
has always maintained with respect to the
work of a mob. We have always refused
to confess responsibility in such a case
when foreign subjects had lost either life
or property. We have always acted gem
erousiy and promptly in the premises. but
upon the express ground that money so ap-
propriated by Congress and paid over was
In the nature of an honorable charge on
the national conscience. Italy, China,
Mexico and probably other foreign gov
ernments have received money in this way.
The record of the United States in such
matters is SO scrupulously just, indeed,
that If any fault it to be found with it
the fault is that the foreigner is put above
the citizen If twelve men were TO be
lynched tomorrow and their homes de-
stroyed. six of whom should prove to have
been foreign subjects and six citizens, Con-
gress would charge itself with an appro-
priation for the benefit of the heirs of the
foreigners, but the heirs of the citizens
would get nothing.
The contention has been, however-and
In Europe as well as in the United States
that the Armenian massacres and the &C
companying destruction of property were
not the work of mob, but of Turkish
troops under the spur and direction of
Turkish officials. The Impeachment of
Turkey at the time was not on the score
OF her inability to preserve ORDER but that
she was actively egging on and extending
bloody religious crusade against Chris
tians- Still the matter remains a charge.
