Beasley Sick.

II ND SO Beasley is sick! 1t is too
bad! But it is no wonder. After
what has happened during the
past few days it could be no surprise
that Beasley is sick or that he is very,
very sick. 1t would be no surprise if
many other members of the legislature
were sick as well.
Yesterday the word was sent to the
legislature that Beasley is so sick that
he could not attend the session that
day and he might be absent a weak or
ten days. 1t may be that Beaslev is
at the present time in the city of Hell
ena, but there is a suspicion that be
isn't
Beasley has not only succeeded in
making himself sick, if he is sick, but
he has succeeded in making the entire
republican party of Montana sick,
what there is left of the party 1t is
to be regretted deeply that Beasley has
gotten himself sick at this stage in the
proceedings of the legislature, for
doubtless there was much that his con-
stituents desired him to accomplish and
for which they elected him.
1t may be well to note in this connec-
ton that the members of the Silver
Bow and Deer Lodge delegations are
not sick nor any of them absent from
their duties. Mr.. OBrien and Mr..
Clark of Madison county are on
hand and so is Mr.. Sullivan of Granite
county and most of the members of the
Missoula and Ravalli and Cascade
county delegations. Messrs. Anderson
and Campbell and Norris are present.
They are not sick and have no reason
to be sick. They are attending to their
duties, as usual. They have nothing to
explain, nothing to excuse. None of
them have gone back on their prin-
ciples or their party; none of them
have been accused of having been
bribed; none of them have been hanged
in effigy and none of them are sick.

same. These rules do not apply to leap
year, when comparison is made between
days before and after Feb. 90.

Hartman Endorsed.

+ 1NDER the caption Hartman
" dropped" the Butte Inter Noun
tain exultantly refers to the fact
that Hartman only received three votes
for senator in the recent campaien in
this state and seeks to draw the in
ference that on account of the small
vote ne received he is repudiated by
his party and is out of politics in this
state.
Well, If Hartman is dropped where is
Mantle? There We're at the start sup
posed to be four silver republican votes
IN the Montana legislature. Of these
tour votes Hartman received three and
Mantle received a grand total of one.
up to the TIME that all the silver re-
publican votes were gobbled by Clark.
and it is our recollection that the one
Mantle silver republican deserted his
leader for Clark before Hartman's men
broke away.
While it is impossible to arouse much
interest in party the last vestige of
which seems to have disappeared from
this state, yet surely Mr.. Hartman may
leSdiu Win I1ucl satisfaction the fact
that, so long as the silver republican
party did hold together, he received the
endorsement of seventy-five per cent of
them whereas Mr.. Mantle, after a serv-
ice of four years in the United States
senate, was unable to secure more than
one vote favorable to his reelection.
The people of Montana only elected one
member of the legislature who was so
pleased with Nantes service as to de-
sire to see him returned to the senate,
and that man dropped Mantle and his
party for Clark at the first opportunity.
Mr. Nantes newspaper may find joy
in the fact that Hartman only received
three votes, but Mr.. Mantle cannot find
much cause for satisfaction in the fact
that he only received one vote. To the
people of Montana generally it appears
that the fact of Hartman having re-
ceived three votes to one for Mantle
shows that the majority Of the silver
republican party in the state endorsed
the course of Hartman and repudiated
Mantle

Canada's Cup Defender.
From the Toronto Globe.


Though Hamilton syndicate to build
a Canada's cup defender is said to be
assured, as well as another boat from
that city, the syndicate craft to be built
from the designs of G. Herrick Duggan
Of Montreal is really the only defender
that is yet before the public.
The circular recently issued by the
Royal Canadian Yacht club to all the
Canadian clubs is doing much to rouse
public interest in the matter. Commo-
dore Jarvis of the r. c. Y. G. has oeen
sent plans of a 35-foot yacht from a
Canadian designer for the purpose CT
defending the cup, with the offer to
build her for any person or syndicate
at cost. She is "A feet over all; |. W j.,
q feet inches; beam, 8 feet; sail urea,
1,225 square feet; displacement, 5000
pounds.
Even down by the seashore they are
talking Canada cup, and Mr.. Jarvis is

ter interest in boat built up here from
a design by Fl. c. Mcleod of Halifax.
Mr. Mcleod is general manager of the
bank of Novia Scotia, and was form

signed number of shallow craft SINH
lar to the Duggan Lake St. Louis type,
which have been very successful en-
Lakes Minnetonka and Geneva. Hi:
deep boats for the sea about Halifax
have also been winners, and Commo-
dore Jarvis rates Mr.. Mcleod and Mr.
Duggan as the most scientific designers
in Canada

A Bad Break by Gomez.
s~HAT is certainly an extraordin-
airy demand General Gomez is
reputed in a Washington special

ATHAT is certainly an extraordin-
airy demand General Gomez is
reputed in Washington special
to have made. According to this report
he refuses to disband his alleged army
until it shall have been paid in full
for past services. To pay what is de-
manded the full sum requisite would be
$6OOOO,O00. Such a demand would seem
the part of an adventurer or guerilla
rather than of patriot. Such an ex-
preston is bound to weaken the SYM
pathy which the people of this country
have held towards the Cubans in their
years of struggle. 1t is the part of the
true American to sympathfze with
every people in it's struggle for free
dom from oppression, but when the
party to which sympathy and assist
ance have been extended gives in re-
turn the demand of the highwayman
it is time for the government to do
little Christening. The patriots who
fought in the American revolution en-
dured the privations of Valley Forge
went for months without sufficient food
and clothing, and for years without
full pay, satisfied when liberty was at
tanned. no matter what the personal
privatiop.
The American people should be slow
to believe that Gomez has been accur-
ately quoted, or, that, if So he repre-
sents the true sentiments of the Cuban
people. Yet enough accurate informa-
ton has been received to leave no doubt
that outrages are daily committed in
Cuba by malcontent insurgents who
have become fire bugs. Numerous
sugar mills and plantations have been
set on fire. indicating that the Cubans
may give this country some small pro-
portion of the trouble the Filpinos are
bound to give. 1t is worthy of con-
gratulatory remark here that thus far
no trouble is reported from Porto Rico
Whatever revolutionary elements there
are on that island have kept quiet
up to the present time The people of
that island seem to be satisfied with
the change and willing to make the at
tempt to become good American citi-
zens. If the Cubans who are now riot
ing do not soon settle down to peaceful
pursuits the people of this country will
be forced to the conclusion that the
Spaniards were not solely to blame in
their troubles with the people of that
island and will doubt the ability of the
Cubans either to govern themselves or
to become good American citizens.

will probably gain one from the popu
lists in Nebraska. The next senate
now seems likely to stand 55 republic
cans to So for the opposition, including
democrats, populsts and silver repuoli-
cans. This will be the largest repub-
lican majority since the years immed
lately following the war.
1t has already been decided by The
senate that in case the legislature fails
ITO elect the governor cannot make an
appointment to fill the vacancy. In case
of failure to break any of the six seaa-
toria1 deadlocks the republicans would
be deprived of five votes and the demo-
Gratis of one. In Pennsylvania there is
no constitutional limit to the length Of
the legislative session and the legisla-
ture can continue balloting as long as
1T pleases. In the other five states there
is a sixty-day limit. In California the
60 days date from January 2; in Della
ware and Nebraska from January 3;
in Utah and Washington from January
9. In recent years Wyoming Washing
ton, Montana, Delaware, Oregon and
Kentucky have been deprived of full
representation in the senate through
failure of legislatures to elect.

Alameda's War With Grip,

~EOPLE of Montana, where the
~ grip is raging in distressing
form at the present time, can
not fail to be interested in the fight
which Alameda. California, has made
against the disease, that city now
claiming that it has stamped il out
from its corporate limits and that it is
now immune. On January 2 the con-
tagion seized the town from one end
to the other, almost every household
had its victim and business in some
quarters had to be suspended.
The city board of health thereupon
started wholesale series of fumiga-
tons. The public and municipal build
ings, public library, places of public
resort and entertainment and finally
private houses We're thoroughly smoked
First the houses where grip had ap-
peared were attended to and then all
others as well were disinfected. The
city was divided into sections and ply
sicians and sanitary assistants were
in the work.
Various agencies were used, but in
the main the disinfectants employed
were formaldehyde gas, formalin liquid
and methyl alcohol. The fumigation
of the entire town occupied period of
about fifteen days. 1t is claimed that
during the first five days the spreading
of the disease was checked; during the
second five days the number of cases
rapidly decreased, and at the end OF
fifteen days the grip had entirely dis
appeared.
The Alameda plan might be tried
with good effect in Butte, Anaconda
and other Montana cities where the dis
ease is causing much distress. 1t would
seem to be abundantly demonstrated
by the Alameda case that the epidemic
of grip can be prevented with proper
sanitary provisions. The cost of fumi-
cation would be immeasurably less
than is paid for doctors bills and medi-
rineS
