DtA7d Or YcE-PR gi0EhT HOBART.

The Inter Mountains teleSrapnlc al
vices today state nat Vice President
Hobart died at $50 this morning. Though
apparently a strong, obust man, with an
indefinite lease on life, he went into a
decline a few weeks since, and for some
time his death has been almost hourly
expected. During the past week there
were at times some indications of a pos
sible rally of the vital forces, but the
strain on nature was too great and he
passed peacefully away to his reward.
The Congressional Directory states
that that Garrett A. Hobart was born in
Monmouth county. N. j.. June ), 1874;
entered the sophomore class of Rutgers
college in 1860. and graduated in 1863 at
the age of 10; thereafter taught school
until he entered the law office of Socrates
futile. of Paterson, n. j.; was admitted
to the bar in 1869: was city counsel OF
Paterson in 1871: entered the legislature
in 1873 and was speaker of that body IN
1876; was elected to the senate in 1919,
made president of that body in 1881 and
national republican convention in 1876
and again in 1880: served continuously as
a member of the national republican
committee from 1884 to 1896. when he was
elected vice president, taking his seat
March 4, 1897.
Mr.. Hobart's public career has been a
long and honorable one, characterized by
a strict fidelity to every trust reposed in
him. No scandal has ever dimmed the
a man. He has been ~singularly free
from the aspersions usually visited upon
public men, and his life of intense ac-
tivity has been a record of splendid per-
sonal triumphs in the political field. His
name will go down in history as n of
the active, able, clean men of his day

place in the gift of the nation would have

needs of the people. He was a safe man
under any load of responsibility, and,
like many another faithful public SER
want, finally broke down in health under
the activities of life. Peace to his ashes.
The death of Vice President Hobart
brings prominently to the front the
question of succession to the presidency
should Mr.. Mckinley die. In former
times the line of succession fell FIRST
upon the president pro tempore of the
senate and then upon the speaker of tbs
house, but in 1885 a law was enacted
placing the line of succession in the sec
rotary of state and thence through tn;
cabinet, such legislation growing out o
the agitation over possible complication
when Vice President Hendricks died. II
the event of Mr.. MCKinley's death, Sec
rotary of State Hay would succeed to tn,
presidency and fill out the unexpiret
term.

The Helena independent ccuse

The Helena Independent accuses the
Anaconda Standard of sending out gross
~ colored reports of the Welcome trial,
under a Helena date. for the use of the
Associated Press, while the Standard ac-
cuses the Independent of doing likewise.
Inasmuch as the Associated Press is an
institution for the dissemination Of reli-
able news, any abuse on the part of its
reporters cannot be too energetically con-
demned. 1t is a burning shame that
rival democratic newspapers are permit
ted to scandalize this state abroad, by
giving their respective versions of such
exhibitions as the Welcome case to the
people Of the world as unbiased reports.
Both the Standard and the Independent
owe it TO the public to free themselves of
such accusations, for the offences mutual
ly charged are of a most grieVouS char
acter and cannot be condoned by any man
who respects the good name of this state

ACUINALCC AND HIS PURPOSES.

Recently the Anaconda Standard de-
clared that Asuinaldo desired independ-
ence under an American protectorate, to
which statement the Inter Mountain took
exceptions, alleging that it was absolute
independence for which the insurgent
leader fought, and that it was absolute
independence which his democratic ennis
sarfes in this country claimed for him.
Now comes our contemporary with an
alleged rebuttal, in the form of the re-
port made by Consul General Pratt, to
the effect that Aguinaldo had stated to
him his desire that the United States
would assume the protection of the Phil
ippines long enough for his people to or
ganize a government of their own. This
statement was reiterated by Aguinaldo.
When he assumed to be loyal to the
United States in order to equip his SOL
diers with American arms. He was
professedly satisfied With American oc-
cupancy, provided his people could have
the benefit of local self-government. Up
to this point the Standard and the Inter
Mountain agree.
There can be no dispute as to matters
of this kind that have passed into his
tory; but there is a radical disagreement
as to whether Aguinaldo meant what he
said. The Standard accepts his pro-

.Aguinaldo has issued another proc
lamation, stating that the next Ameri-
can congress will stop the war inc haul
down the Stars and Stripes. The rebel
chief must have got hold of some Mis-
sissippi election returns and thinks the
whole country has gone democratic.

fessions without question. and believes
that the ~highwayman acted in good faith,
which implies that the whole RESPONSE
bility of bloodshed later on rests with
the federal government. The Inter
Mountain, on the other hand, believes
that Aguinaldo did not at any time de-
sire independence under an American
protectorate, but all tie time consem-
plated forcing the federal troops to with
draw that he might exercise absolute
sway over the people. His conduct is
submitted as better evidence than his
words.
On the face of things, no man was a
greater admirer of the republic of the
United States and it's institutions than
Aguinaldo. and he professed all kinds
of regard for the flag that had subdued
the t%yrannical Spaniard and driven him
from the land. But he was like Tally
rand n the Anaconda Standard-lhe
believed that words were made to con-
ceal thoughts. While he ssumed to be
friendly, and in this way secured a sup
ply of arms n ammunition from fed
eral authorities. he was all the time
planning his insurrection and secretly
preparing for a treacherous assault up
on u troops.
For a time, he expected the withdrawal
of the federal soldiers. in response to

To any one who interprets the wishes

tons, rather than through their speech.
the purposes of Aguinaldo from the out
set are perfectly plain. There never has
been an act on the part of Aguinaldo,
since his troops We're equipped with Am
erican arms, that indicated his willing
ness to accept independence under an
American protectorate. On the on
trary, every step has been taken with a
view to attaining absolute dominion over
the Philippines. Every overture look
ing to peace, after the treacherous ban-
dit discovered that even with the moral
ca support of the democratic press Of
America he could not drive the federal
troops out of Luzon, insisted upon the
recognition of his independent govern
ment.

that differences of opinion as to Agui-
naldo's purposes and desires involve

ton Of judgment in the matter of weigh

SAW OF DIAMONDS.
1t Ia Used for the Cutting of Stone for the
Paris Exposition Buildings.

The use of the diamond saw for cut
ting stone is facilitating the erection OF
the buildings for the exposition of 1900
at Paris, says the Boston Transcript
THIS new circular saw is due to Felix
FrOmholt, a Partisan engineer. The
diamonds which form the cutting teeth
of the saw are common crystals, worth
about 10 shillings a carat, and they are
fixed in a steel disk over SIX feet IN di-
ameter, which is mounted on spindle
and revolved by steam power like an or
binary circular saw. For saving hard
stones there are 200 diamonds in the
cutting edge, and the speed is 800 turns
a minute. 1t advances into the stone
about a foot in that time. For soft
stones the teeth are of steel, with dia-
monds at intervals Of every Eve teeth,
and at speed of twelve turns minute
the saw advances about yard in that
time. The new saw has been at work in
the workshops of the Champes Elysees
for several months and las given every
satisfaction.
