Holding Right Up.

TT is a cheering sign Of the times that
in these days of war silver's friends
are standing pat and pulling true In
states which cannot be accused OF sell
fish interest-states, we mean. where
silver mining Is not an industry.
Conventions were held last week In
Arkansas. In Michigan and In Indiana
That Chairman Jones' neighbors would
be loyal TO silver, was never doubted.
There was, however. some question as
to whether a fusion OF the silver forces
would be this years programme
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS seers,
who are proven TO be blind. have been
SAYING that free coinage is not holding
it's own in Michigan. The result is that
at the Grand Rapids convention held
last Wednesday. the democrats, silver
republicans and populists came to
hearty agreement on a ticket n on a
piatform-there was a ratification OF
both in a joint convention held Wednes-
day night. The ticket is an ever dis
tribution TO the three parties; the plat
form includes an enthusiastic endorse
ment Of the Chicago platforms finan-
cial plank OF 1895.
The state convention Of Indiana demo-
Gratis was held last Wednesday at In
d~ianapolis. II was a r~ousing rally. The
platform is a ringing assertion OF loyalty
70 the Chicago platform and 'in favor
OF the free and unlimited coinage Of
both gold and silver" The convention
passed a resolution in cordial compli-
ment of Bryan and heartily commended
the course Of Senator Turple. who is
numbered among ~silver's most eloquent
defenders.
These are cheering signs Of the times.
They are the proofs from states where
silver mines are unknown that the
friends OF free coinage are ~steadfast
and hopeful; they supplement the en-
couraging action taken by the sllverites
In Minnesota; they show hat in the
states where silver has its unselfish
support the fixed purpose is TO follow
the friends of free coinage ought i'm
plicitly 10 trust and heed.
II may ever be that, spite OF the ad-
vantage which the administration is
supposed 10 enjoy because we are en-
gagged in war. the next house of repre-
sentatives will PASS to the control of
~silver's defenders-the attested loyalty
Of states like Michigan and Indiana en-
courages hat hope. In the present
house Of representatives there are zoe
republicans. 134 democrats and l6 scat
tering OF various factions. The repub-
lican majority over all is Sc. This is
not a great margin in a body Of 357
members. A change OF only twenty
min members will give the house to the
democrats.

Tn younger brothers enthusiasm is ex-
cusable: he would be a pretty poor sort
OF a brother IL he didn't exalt his elder
to the skies.
Lieutenant Hobson has not always
found IL as plain sailing as when on the
Merrimac even. According TO the West
Point brother. 'he has been constantly
opposed in the navy ever since he en-
tered IL. The opposition has come from
the line. MY brother has always wanted
TO know as much OF his profession as he
could. n he knows II pretty thor
oughly. The subject of modern warfare
as 1t applies TO the big ships Of to-day
has been his especial study. and for this
reason as soon as the war between
China and Japan broke out he asked
the naval authorities for permission to
go and report upon the fighting for the
United States government. His appli-
cation was Endorsed by the chief con-
~ h'A'if dhu TIL "dH dppOiiAtu itdu
lily enough by the secretary of the navy.
Immediately there was objection from
the line officers. They said they thought
II manifestly improper that a mere con-
structo should be sent to report upon
the fighting. although Rich was only TO
be one Of a lot of men who were going.
Well, Rich heard about the objections.
but he didn't take any notice and just
went right ahead with his packing and
other preparations for the journey. He
was all ready TO start when a dispatch
came from the navy department saying
that the appointment had been revoked.
The secretary Of the navy made no mys-
terry about the matter; he told my
brother frankly enough that the appoint
ment had been revoked because the line
objected to a constructor being detailed
to the mission" Blu the Zine" is not
drawn against Hobson any longer.

Tight and the shedding of blood.
One wonders whether these world
counters intend to make the complete
subjugation OF the savage tribes Of
Africa an incident of the census TAX
ing; how they propo to break into
the ~seciuslon of the Asiatic mountain
cheeseman's domain without an army
at their backs; whether they will in
clude explorers OF repute among the
men they will send to count the people
OF the unknown regions beyond the
Himalayas or in the and OF eternal Ice
that surrounds the north pole. These
suggest themselves to those who ques-
ton the success Of the attempt to num-
Der the people.
The claim around which suspicion
fingers is that. for the counting of the
Chinese Ii Hung Chsng's good Offices
have been secured. Thus far. however.
no friend has arisen I'm the heart of
Africa to offer a safe passage through
that land OF mystery to the man who
comes with pencil and pad TO number
the inhabitants. This land ought to be
included in the census taking. for the
figures given of the numbers of it's in
habitants change every time an ex-
plorer dives into the interior and after
a lapse OF time energies to tell the
world that he has discovered a new
race OF people numbering Q few mill
ions to be added to the known popula-
ton of Africa.
Then. west of India are the vast
that Alexander overran in his
Persia. and
Turkey In Asia. How many scores Of
or wen hundreds OF millions
may they not contain? Many of the
uplands of Persia are practically I'M
known TO the civilized world. but they
can support a mighty population. No
one knows how many people Arabia
nobody can say how many
there are dwelling in the
of eternal Ice that encircle the
north pole: many OF the islands of the
living on the open bounty of Nature,
whose free and careless life has cap
the imagination of highly Gull
men like Robert Louis Steven
son. When the census is completed, IL
{ proves practicable, what will 1t prob
ably show the total population of the
globe TO be?

letter addressed to Governor
I Smith by T.. A. Carleton. state
superintendent of public in
struction. says: Certain charges Of
alleged official misconduct have been
made against myself by the Anaconda
Standard"
That is not true. The charges were
made against Mr.. Carleton by Miss
Harris, his former clerk. in an inter
view printed In the Standard. Respect
ing them the Standard said not one
word when the charges were printed.
on the contrary, Mr.. Cartoons state
ment was awaited. He made IL. and
then, on the testimony OF the records
in Helena. the Standard showed, not
that the charges were true. but that
the statement mad by Mr.. Carleton
was essentially false.
In his letter addressed 10 Governor
Smith. Mr.. Carleton also says: Miss
Harris herself has denied the correct
ness OF these charges. as they have
been published, and has caused a cor
rection of them to be sent to the Stand
ard but. so far. her correction has not
been published"
That is false. as far as the sending
TO the Standard OF any denial of the
charges is concerned. All the corre-
spondence the Standard ever had from
Miss Harris is printed on the eleventh
page OF his mornings Standard-every
line of IL. As remarked on that page,
the Harris letter there quoted were
better left imprinted. a. far as Mr..
Cartoons side OF the case is con
cerned: IT certainly harms his case
more than IL helps. But there II is-Mr.
Carleton is welcome to t.: the letter
will at least put an end to the plea that
the Standard has withheld any letter
from Miss Harris that ever crossed the
threshold of this office.
Mr.. Carleton asks the governor fer
an investigation. II do not care" he
writes, ito suggest how the matter
should be inquired into. further than to
say that I think an unprejudiced com
mittee OF three or five, or such a num-
Der as you may think best, should be
appointed by you. and that you should
be the chairman OF the committee. and
that the hearing be ha at the earliest
possible day"
This whole matter relates 10 the edu-
cational establishment of Montana.
There lie a state board Of education. IL
is for Governor Smith to say what ne

sheep Men incorporate.

In the Denver Times OF Monday
appears the following article rela-
tive to the Sheep Feeders Associa-
ton recently organized in this
county:
The Arkansas Valley Sheep Feed
ers' Association filed its incorpora-
ton papers at the secretary OF
states Office this morning, with @.
w. Swink, J. ]. Cooper, NJ. 4.
Farwell. w. A. Colt, w. N. Ran
dali, d. c. Roberts and A. ]. Hot
tel as directors, and Farwell, RAN
dali and Swink as incorporators.
They are TO operate in Pueblo,
Otero, Bent and Prowers counties,
Colorado, and in Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Utah and New Mexico,
having their principal Offices at
Rocky Ford.
IL is the purpose OF the promoters
OF the organization to make theirs
the most powerful sheep combine
in the state, with the object of
showing under" the northern
counties, which have so long held
full sway in the sheep business and
monopolized the Colorado reputa-
ton as wool centers. OF late the
sheep industry has rapidly forged
to the front in Colorado, until it
threatens to eclipse the cattle kings.
The objects of the new company,
as laid down in their incorpora-
ton papers, are as follows:
40 promote and incourage the
industry OF sheep feeding; to secure
fair prices for sheep fed by mem-
bers OF the association; to secure
better markets, shipping and feed
ing facilities near Kansas City; to
purchase such supplies as may be
needed by the association; to CO.
operate with similar organizations
and to secure the best possible
prices on sheep bought for feeding
by members OF this association;
TO promote the general welfare and
secure the best interests OF the
sheep feeders of the Arkansas val
ley; and to exercise all ordinary
and proper powers of bodies cor
porate."

When an officer becomes SO vigi
liant in the discharge OF his duty as
to have his breakfast served on a
dry goods box Sunday mornings in
order to keep an effective lookout
on the front doors OF saloons, it is
about time for the saloonkeeper to
arrive at the sensible conclusion
that it would be best for him to
keep closed on that day. The law
is going to be enforced and public
sentiment demands that il should
be. The more effective and sensi-
Bile way would be for the proprie-
tors to form a combine and agree
among themselves to keep closed,
and thus assist in the enforcement
of the law. We do not believe
that any OF them are particularly
anxious to violate the law and
would not if they were confident
that none OF their competitors were
doing SO.
