the Wolcott commission to Europe in
the interest Of silver restoration, and
at the same time his secretary of the
treasury was formulating measure to
more thoroughly commit the country
to the gold standard''-a measure which
was laid before the entire cabinet and
approved.
twenty-fourth day of July, 1897, send
ing a message to congress urging a
favorable consideration Of the report of
the Indianapolis convention, the first
article of whose creed was the perma-
nent adoption of the gold standard.
The webbing" gyrating and SOM
mersaulting of Mckinley on the silver
question, was enough to cause the Inter
Mountain to oppose him in 1895. To-
day while Mckinley is more pronounced
than ever in his advocacy OF gold, the
same newspaper is tearing it's editorial
tumultuous enthusiasm for his grand
American craftsmanship and splendid
patriotism. To call that wobbling or
hedging on the part of the Inter Noun
tain would be a rather feeble form Of
expression, but we will leave the people
to give the action it's true name
In conclusion we will Simply say that
while the wobbling or wavering of the
Inter Mountain or any. other newspaper
is comparatively trivial matter, when
the president of the United States not
only wobbles, but abandons the prin-
ciples of lifetime, it deeply and vitality
concerns every man, woman and child
in the country.

York date coolly conveys tho
intelligence: Governor Roosevelt and
Senator Plat had conference to-day
on the proposed state constabulary BILL
by which the control Of police in cities
of the first and second classes is to be
vested in a commission appointed by
the governor. After the conference it
was reported the governor agreed to
sign the measure if it passed the legis-
lature by a. good majority. Should the
proposed bill become a law it would
take from the municipal authorities
and give to the state government full
control of the police forces of New
York, Buffalo, Rochester Troy, AL
bany and Syracuse"
In other words, the bill, if it becomes
a law, will rob the six largest cities of
New York state of the right of home
rule. 1t is blow at the theory of self
government. If any of the cities men
toned has reason to be dissatisfied
with its police force. the way to correct
the abuses is to meet the issue at the
polls. If the state constabulary scheme
is a just one, in addition to the police
| as well might all the other municipal
| departments of the large cities be gov
erned by a commission appointed ny
| the governor. The intent of Plat is
| obvious-to strengthen the republican
machine, particularly in New York
city.
| The proposition is raising a storm of
indignation in all the cities concerned
| and in New York state generally: nor Is
| the denunciation of Plat for this, his
| latest and boldest attempted coup, con-
fined by any means to the democratic
| party. The republican Buffalo Express
| declares that a measure so Ubiquitous
in principle is certain to react against
1 the party responsible. 1t plainly adj
| vises Plat that its enactment into law
| will be ruinous to republican success
in New York state next year. 1.-THE
| political leadership" says the Express,
| (which sees in party success only the
! opportunity to cram unpopular laws
| down the threats of the people is the
kind that leads to ruin. 1t was by such
leadership that the republican party
was kept in minority in this state for
4 more than ten years. It was such a
leadership that restored Tammany To
! power the very year after the republi-
can party for the first time in it's his
tory had won a clear majority for both
| its gubernatorial and presidential tick
1 cts in New York city. Let US have
| done with such blunders''
Schemes of that kind are to be ex-
pected from Platt-the only wonder is
that Governor Roosevelt should SC
willingly lend himself to them. Roose-
welt is a disappointment to the coun-
try. He is the veriest tool that Plat
| has in his collection. .

TWELVE PAGES.


f0N Sunday November r. this
W. newspaper in reply to a coarse,
violent and brutal assault upon
Marcus DAILY which appeared in the
Helena Independent the preceding day
Ian assault which in absolute vicious
ness has hardly q parallel in the his
tory of American journalism--told
some plain truths about that unprin-
cipled and scurrilous publication. 1t
was a fact, as the Standard then
stated, and as scores Of people In Mon
4 tana are well aware, that at the time
tits present publisher took hold OF the
sI1elena Independent he hawked it about
the state in an endeavor to secure
financial backing. making direct over
lures to Marcus Daily among others,
and finally securing w. A. Clark's sup
port to the extent of a $4,000 mort
gage, which the Independent itself ad-
,mits has never been paid. On the face
'of it, Mr. Clark went into the Helena
Independent $4,000 worth not as a
financial but as a political investment.
Mr.. Clark is too good g business man
to have had any other purpose in view
than that of using the Helena indie
pendent for his own political purposes.
How strenuously the Independent has
striven to serve them Is a matter Of
common notoriety.
The Helena Independent never Isped
"a syllable in reply to the Standard
editorial until nine days later. Then,
well knowing that that gentleman had
aeft the state on a business trip to Chi
cage, it made personal assault upon
fMr. ]. H. Durston, the Standards edi-
Tor in chief. The independents despi-
cable methods are shown both in The
lfact that it waited until Mr.. Durston
had left the state before saying any
thing. and also in the fact that, when
it did speak, 1T dared say nothing
openly. but contented itself with SIMS
ter and malignant threats. insinuations
and innuendoes .
i This style of warfare, the Standard
repeats, is eminently characteristic OF
the Helena Independent. 1t is on par
with its original attack upon Marcus

virtually expressed it's fierce desire for

General Wheaton VIII Try to Cut OF His
Retreat North.

RETREAT North.
Washington. Nov. 22.-The next move
of Importance is to be made by Cen
eral Wheato who will go up the coast
by transport to Vigan at the mouth of
the Abo river. This will land his forces
far to the north of where Aguinaldo is
supposed to be, the intention being TO
cut off his retreat to the north. From
the military information bureau it is
learned that east of the route Aguin-
aldo is taking are mountains inhabited
by natives, who are not friendly to
Aguinaldo and will be likely to attack
him If he attempts to cross their terri
tory. The country along the coast is
quite we'll settled. There are several
little rivers making harbors, from
which it is feared AguinaIdo may es-
cape by boat. General Young, it is be-
lieved, is watching these small ports
with part of his force.
