De OCRACY'S RECORD.

Having quietly settled down to the
fixed conviction that national expansion
is a crime, the democratic party in Mon
tana can afford to take a day off and
investigate the record of the organiza-
ton to which they belong. Some valuable
data has been compiled by that able
democratic newspaper, the New York
Journal, which members of tina party
will do we'll to weigh with care before
flying off on im%perialistic t~angents.
Mr.. Hearst calls attention to the pres
ent area of the United States, 3,613, 1877
square miles, and shows thai the Philip
pines comprise an area hat is a little
over three per cent of the extent of the
Union, or 114,326 square miles. The area
of the United States in 1903 embraced
1928, 765 square miles, but Thomas Jeffer-
son, the founder of the democracy, an
nexed 1,120, 900 square miles in the Louisi-
ana purchase, thus doubling the area of
the republic. It is also a matter of his
tory that Jefferson caused the occupation

DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH

In discussing the question of commer-
cial expansion, in an able and compre-
hensive manner Henry Clews says:
h great financial and commercial de-
velopments which have ben manifest IN
the United States for the last decade, are
now assuming larger proportions than
our forefathers ever dreamed Of. The
theory Of expansion which our victories
over Spain have forced upon us Will de-
velop the wealth and prestige of this
country in a way that will make the ma
tons of the earth regard our progress
with amazement and profound respect.
Already they are predicting a future for
us hardly second to the Roman empire
when that mighty power was mistress OF
the world; but we are not going to be an
empire after the fashion of the potency
once welded by Rome There will be no
tyranny in our political system, nor any
constant reaching out for further possess
sions. We will simply keep the terrific
ries we nave fairly won, n set about
civilizing the inhabitants and educating
them for self-government.

Next to Montana the senatorial fight
in Pennsylvania is of public interest.
Quay has been nominated by the repub-
lican caucus, but a large number of re-
publicans refrained from participating in
that body, just as the anti-Clark men
did in this state six years ago. in order
to wage war on the nominee. At mid
night last night Quay gave out the state
ment that he was absolutely sure of re-
election, while John Wannamaker gave
out the statement that Quay is assuredly
beaten. The democrats in the Pennsyl-
vania legislature will vote for some re-
publican other than Quay in order to
defeat that candidate, If he can be beaten
in no other way.

A NEW ROBINSON CRUSOE.

London News: Mr.. Bacon, whose bal
looming exploits in the interests of science
are SO we'll known, and have been described
more than once in these columns, is now
about to try his luck in another direction.
The board of Trinity house has consented
to place him upon a desert island, there to
live like Robinson Crusoe, SO long as his
own provisions last him. However, unlike
Robinson, he will be able to leave when he
chooses, weather permitting. He hopes to
obtain many valuable observations on the
by play of sound at sea, tested under all
conditions of fair and foul weather. The
scene of his operations will be Tamplin
lighthouse. BY the way, this enthusiast
spent the midnight hours of a recent even
ing in the Whispering Gallery of st. Paurs,
and he says that he got a fine haul of phe-
nOmena.

THOMAS JEFFERSON LEVY.

A gentleman residing in Astoria, Ore
gon writes the Inter Mountain making
inquiry as to Thomas jefferson Levy,
who has been widely quoted by reason Of
his position on the financial question, MI.
Levy is a prominent democratic lawyer
of New York. At a banquet given in
honor of Richard Croker, the Tammany
chief, shortly after Van Wyck was elect
ed mayor Of Greater New York, Mr..
Levy outlined the course to be pursued
by the democratic party in 1900 insofar as
the silver question is concerned. In a
speech, heretofore published in part in
these columns, he emphatically sat down
on the free coinage issue. as a party
measure, and declared that a platform
would be adopted upon which every gold
democrat, every silver democrat and ev-
cry other democrat could stand.
He further indicated that democratic
clubs were being formed to effect this
end. In other words, the anti-free coin
age democrats are organizing to control
the next national convention. Through
out the middle west they are making
| great Roadway, notably in Iowa, where
nearly all the leading men in the party
! are committed to compromise measures
on the silver question.
In the meantime the silver democrats
in the west are resting contentedly on the
laurels of a local victory, Inc doing alb
solutely nothing to counteract the work
of the gold wing of that party. Presum'
ably the silver leaders of that party are
getting ready to accept the inevitable.

TEMPERANCE REFORM IN FRANCE.

London Chronicles: Temperance reform
is making progress in France, and the
latest development of the society against
the use of spurious liquors is the establish
ment of a cheap temperance restaurant.
Temperance in this case does not exclude
the use of a limited quantity of wine and
beer with the meals, but all spirits are pro-
hibited. The society has no fewer than 300
branches in France, and is obtaining sup
port from many educational institutions.
General Gallieni, the governor of NADIA
gascar, who is an absolute teetotaler, is q
member of the society, and is doing his best
to limit the use Of alcohol in his colony.
The bishop of Nancy is another leading
member of the society, and the manager of
the Paris & Mediterranean railway is pro-
noting the interests of the society among
railway employees.

DROPPING BRYAN.

Although the three grand subdivisions
of the democratic party in this state-the
Anaconda Standard, the Butte Miner and
the Helena Independent, have zach been
committed to the anti-expansion policy
now warmly advocated by Mr.. Bryan
not one of those papers has had the
courage to defend the boy orator Of the
Platte along the lines of his new de-
parturc.
The Standard is devoting i~tselfschiefly
to the horrors of life in Butte, the Miner
is advising the legislature to do it's duty,
without fling specifications, and the In
dependent is busy taking a census of the
population of Helena since the candidates
for legislative positions arrived. But
the triumviratc preserves a dignifed
clam-like silence on the merits Of the
fight that Bryan is making against I'm
perialism."
If there is anything hat a Montana
democratic newspaper hates to do it is
to deal in futures. There is no telling at
the present time whether the democracy
| will stand pat in 1900 on this expansion
proposition. 1t may become necessary for
the Standard to get it's copper-lined
stomach in shape to swallow its endorse
ment of ant%i-expansion, just as it gulped
down it's advocacy of the fusion plans of
Bryan and Jones at the beginning of the
late campaign. Hence, it cannot afford
to increase the possible dose, by prema-
turely patting Bryan on the back.
The Miner cannot afford to be too
| vigorous in it's fight against the theory of
| expansion for it hopes to do a little ex-
/ panding itself if it gets away with the
! senatorial election next Tuesday. The
independent is too strongly and sincerely
democratic to nave an OPINION Oh aAs
proposition until it knows which way the
! cat is going to jump. Take it all around,
Bryan is getting pretty scrubby treat
men from the leading democratic press Of
this state.
1t merely confirms the opinion formed
by many when the Montana democrats
repudiated his campaign plans for the
silver cause, namely that it was their de-
| liberate intention to let him drop in or
der to further the scheme for a re-union
of the eastern and western wings of the
party. .-.r

WEDNESDAY,. JANUARY 4. 1899.
PUBLIC LANDS

Governor Smith warmly applauds the
the legislature. He especially commends
the work of State Register Moore, and
calls attention to the increased reve-
nues from the disposition of state lands.
While Mr.. Moore is an excellent gentle
man, and is doubtless imbued with a de-
sire to make a record for efficiency in
office, the system pursued by the land
department, in which he is the leading
spirit. is, we believe, inconsistent with
the best interests of the state. The con-
slant aim seems to have been to increase
the emit of that apartment at the
expense of the future welfare of the COM
monwealth. To this end the public do
main has to a degree been frittered away,
in that the land grant has been largely
exhausted by the selection of cheap
grazing lands that rented readily at a
low cash figure, instead of securing agri-
cultural lands that would in the future
provide a substantial and permanent in
come to our state institutions.
Ready cash has come into the Golfers
of the land department through the
rental of cheap grazing lands that will
prove useful for no other purpose. While
the income from this source may be re-
garded as a welcome tribute to the reve-
MUGS of the state, the money represents
the future poverty of the institutions
dependent upon the income derived from
the land grants. A far better and more
business like plan of procedure would
have been less haste in the selection of
public lands and more care in the char
acter of the selections made.
The public land grant is the precious
heritage of the people, and Upon the wis
dom and care displayed in securing the

federal government must rest the future
prosperity of the state institutions tc
which the income of these lands is dedi,
Gated.
To exhaust the grant by selecting graz
ing lands that can never be made to bring
in more than a mere pittance, compared
with the income from agricultural lands
is to place upon the future citizen tn,
burden of supporting state institution!
by taxation. Carefully handled the lant
grant ought to prove ample to cover tn,
purposes intended, and yield a splendid
future income for the support of state
Institutions. But the land policy pur
sued by the present state administratio
is a suicidal one, for it draws on tn,
future to enlarge the revenues of tn,
present.

HER BUNCH OF VIOLETS COST $40.

The woman who wishes to buy violets
nowadays must lave a long purse. At a
recent wedding a bouquet of these modest
but costly flowers, carried by the maid of
honor. was paid for in four $40 bills, and it
wasn't a monstrous bunch at that. 1t
costs more money to deliver these gifts Of
nature than it does to cultivate them.

A man is said to have caused the banns
of marriage to be published in a Yorkshire
church between himself and a lady to
whom he was not engaged and who had
no intention of marrying him. The man. it
was alleged, had come to the. end of his
credit. and astonished the town by having
the banns published between himself and
a rich lady who, he had ascertained, was
on the continent. At once his credit was
revived.
