EXPANSION
In High Favor In the WeSt-CalifOrnia
Enthusiam-Cheerful GlimpSes
At Montana History.
Special Cor. of the Inter Mountain.


San Francisco, August %, 1899.
For three lays a Francisco has been
in a delirium of patriotism. The return
of the First California regiment has
thrown the people into a paroxysm of
enthusiasm. Business has been suspend
ed and every man in every walk of life
has Wed with his n%eighbor in extending
a welcome to the returning heroes. Thu
effects Of opening Oriental markets to
American enterprise have begun to be
felt in California. The war, which has
opened up new markets and new posi-
bilities is very popular here. Expansion
is in high favor with all the people, for it
means a steady and increasing demand
for the surplus agricultural and manu-
featuring products Of the nation. The
manifes1s of the ships leaving this port
tell their own story. The outgoing YES
sells are all crowded with passengers and
freight. Among yesterdays departures
were two ships each carrying half a mil
| lion dollars worth of American labor in
the form of the products of field and fac
tory. Every day the exports show an
! increasing tendency. In Hawaii, in
| China and Japan, in the islands Of the
South Pacific, even in New Zealand and
!, Australia, are ever widening markets for
| the products of American toll and skin.
| Manila will be the grand distribution
point for all those countries. Tt will be
| to America what Hong Kong is to Eng
land, France, Germany and Holland. 1t
will be made a beautiful n healthful
American city, pack OF which we shall
| raise our own rice, tobacco n sugar:
and in front Of which the commercial
navy of the United States will go back
| and forth in successful competition with
| the ships of Europe. American enter
| prise and capital will there get a foot
hold, which they will never relinquisl,
and which they would never have OBJ
tanned nut for the policy which the arbi-
| traments of war nave forced upon the
| American people, n destiny has point
ed out as wise. humane and patriotic.
So it happens that the people of Cali
| fornia have aiken advantage of the re-
turn OF their soldiers to make known
their sentiments on the subject of expan-
sion. Tonight this city. with a resident
! population of $50, 900, increased by the
presence of 5000 people from the coun-
try. is wild with excitement. Over $780,
600 have been raised by subscription to
give the boys a welcome that will re-
sound all over the Union from California

THE RETURNING VOLUNTEERS.

The impression seems to prevail in
some quarters that Butte is trying to be
exclusive in the matter of welcoming the
returning soldier boys. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. Inasmuch as a
large percentage of the volunteers reside
in Suite and Anaconda, and at nearby
points in this section Of the state. it was
deemed proper for the most populous city
in Montana to take the initiative in the
good work of extending a hearty greet
ing upon the occasion of their home-com-
ing. Let it be universally understood
that the citizens of Butte appreciate the
good will and cooperation of MOntanians
in all parts of the state, in making this
royal welcome an expression Of the
states pride in the valor and bravery of
the volunteers who nave added luster to
the fame of the commonwealth that will
be as enduring as the history of the age
in which we live.
The committee having matters in
charge feel tina while Butte has better

proposed. by reason of its metropolitan
eatures and central location in point Of
railway service. the welcome is one that
comes from the heart of every good man
and woman in this great state. 1t be-
longs to Montana. Every citizen of this
commonwealth should feel that he is a
part of the celebration which will COM
memorate the return of the boys in blue.
1t will be an occasion in which the patri-
otto pride of our people Will express itself,
and the impulse Of cooperation in the
good work will inspire the hearts of all.
While Butte has taken steps to ar
range the details of a, programme befit-
ting the event. and extends a hearty well
come to all who will honor the occasion
with their presence. and participate in
the exercises of the day, it by no means
follows that the proposed celebration will
in any way interfere with those given by
the several cities and towns which con-
ributed troops to the service of their
country. No doubt every locality that
raised a of volunteers will well
come its returning soldiers to home and
friends, and to the heartaches of the past
apply the balm of a happy reunion This
DIS as it should be, n to all such meet
ings the citizens of Butte will extend their
best wishes and most hearty Fluctuations.
1t in no wise detracts from these local.
celebrations, for the returning volunteers
to meet in Butte in a body and partici-

MCLEAN N SILVER.
state.

The democrats of Ohio declared for the
of 16 to /, in response to the demand Of
the silver wing of the party in that state,
and nominated John r. Mclean to sat-
isfy the gold wing of that organization.
This unholy political wedlock was a
parody on public morals, for it's offspring
will be a Doodle campaign and a brutal
effort to corrupt the ballot in Ohio.
1t has been claimed by the western
democratic press hat Mclean in person.
ally a silver man, and loyal to all that
himetallism implies. But the fact is over
looked that the silver men in the Chicago
convention in s96-the men who nomi-
mated Bryan conspired against Nc
Leans ambition TO secure the nominal
ton for ~vice-president and defeated him.
At one time the trend was in his direc-
tion. and the silver men forced an ad-
journment in order to wrest the nomina-
ton from his grasp. Their leaders de-
clared that Mclean was not in sympathy
with them, that his candidacy would drag
Bryan down and do violence to the plat
form principles upon which he stood. He
was charged with being a tool of the
money-bags, a m~onopolist, a breeder of
trusts. an aristocrat-in fact, a man
whose nomination would give the lie To
democratic professions of reform. BY
sueh areumenfs Mclean was beaten. and
the coveted honor awarded TO Sewell.
These facts are matters of history, yet
the democratic newspapers of the west
now assume that Mclean, as a candidate
for governor of Ohio. is a silver man, and
that his nomination stands for all that is

BULL PEN AND EXPANSION.

Unable to discuss public questions on
their merits, and advance intelligent rea-
sons for the views they profess to enter
tain, the democratic press show a dispo-
sition to depend upon their ability to
arouse p%rejudices and inspire hatreds for
the growth and development of their
cause. The following is a sample from
the Helena independent:
Workingmen know hat Imperialism
means militarism, and Imperialism
means more bull pens like the one at
Wardner.
The utter i~rrelevancy of the foregoing
is apparent to any man with d himble-
full of brains. and it is an insult to the
intelligence of workingmen 10 associate
the policy of expansion, which means the
growth of the west and increased oppor-
tunities for abor, with the bull pens at
Wardner. 1t is far more reasonable to
argue against the bad habit of eiecting
democratic governors, inasmuch as it
was the democratic governor of Idaho
who originated the bull pen at Wardner,
and the democratic governor of Montana
who helped to fill it by permitting the il
legal arrest of alleged fugitives from our
neighboring state.

THE POPUL/S7S ORGANIZING.

Information from various parts of the
state is to the effect hat the populists
are perfecting a very compact organiza-
ton for the campaign OF 1900. 1t seems
that their leaders are preparing for more
systematic political work than ever be-
fore, in that the organization will extend
down into township and precinct work,
With a view to reaching the individual
voter when the campaign opens.
Different opinions exist as to the actual
strength of the populists in this state.
Having co-operated with the democrats
in 1896, and with the silver republicans in
1898, no reliable inventory can be made Of
that party's membership. The estimate
made some time since by the Helena In
dependent that they have a voting
strength of 10000, is regarded as approx
imately correct by nan of the lest post
ed men in that political organization.
This would imply hat they have held
their own since 1894 and can go into the
field in a position to command Il large
following at the polls
Additional impetos has beel given the
work of reorganizing the peoples party
for the forthcoming campaign by demo-
cratic Indifference to the cause of free
ward a compromise on the financial issue.
The activity of the populists is noticeable
every where, and it seems probable that
few of their numbers will be absorbed By
the democracy. The populists of Mon
tana have had quite enough of demo-
cratic treachery and political horse play,
and villa in all probability a k the mi
tiative next year as the standard-bearers
of the principles which they originally
larations.
1t is beginning to dawn upon the de-
mocracy of this state that it labored UNI
der a mistake when it thought it had
performed the feat of swallowing the
peoples party. The seal brown taste in
it's mouth when it gulped down Governor
Smith led it to believe, for the time being,
that it had the whole thing safely en-
tombed within the recesses of it's capa-
cious and roomy interior. But when the
Smith taste developed symptoms Of
ipecac, it was forced to the conclusion
that it had commenced at the wrong end
of the peoples party to do it's swallow
ing. and had made a very poor n in
complete job of the whole proceedings.

Chicago, April 24.-DeAnite information
reached Chicago that the contracts had
been signed in London on Friday which
formally transferred to a single organiza-
ton practically all Of the large producing
copper mines in the United States. The
details were meager, and came through the
brokers who had handled minor parts OF
the deal in this city. 1t is understood
that the mines under contract produced
about 425,OO0,O00 pounds fine Of the total
output of 583,O0O,0OO pounds fine that
were mined in this country last year.
These mines, it is claimed, will produce
fully 475,OO0,0OO pounds fine Of the out
put Of 6OO,OOO,OO0 pounds fine estimated
for 1899.
According to estimates made directly
after the negotiation for the big produc-
ers became public property the actual
value Of the mining properties taken over
will exceed $4OO,OOO,OOO. The particu-
lars, however, will probably be made pub
lie during the coming week, and the
formal life OF the company will date from
May l.

In effect, the organization Is an in
ternational trust in copper. The organic
alton will protect the price both in Eu-
rope and America, and give to the CON-
pany power to distribute the output intel
ligently and economically to the markets
where it is most in demand. 1t was the
latter consideration which brought into
the combination some of the interests that
were previously antagonistic. The Roths-
childs furnished the funds and made the
stiprlations for the European interests in
volved, while the Standard Oil Company
was credited with acting in the same Ca
pacity for the American side. The Roths-
child interest had its main leverage in its
holdings on the Isle Royal, in Lake Super
Tor, known as the Wendigo Copper Com
pany, the stock of which concern is not
listed on any American exchange, and the
