A FR/SKY PROD/CAL.

This morning the Butte Miner INDUCES
a limited amour of festivity over the
alleged return of Henry Watterson to
the Bryan wing Of the democracy. Mr..
democrats in the country, and as editor
of the Louisville Courier-Journal is a
power in the politics of Kentucky. In
1896 he supported the Palmer-Buckner
wing of the democracy after the nominal
ton Of Bryan. Since that eventful cam-
, paign al, the bulletins issued relative to
Watterscn's political health have been
eagerly scanned for the leaders of the
dominant wing of the democracy have
lorged for the day when they might
! again clasp hands with the noted jour-
. nalist across the bloody chasm. and see
Kentucky take her old place in the demo-
cratic column
SO far, however, the symptoms are not
Mr.. WatteIson indicated a desire to have
! the split in the democratic ranks patched
up in some way, and not long ago he
again expressed himself along the same
line. whereat the Butte Miner hastens to
welcome him as a prodigal, but eau
tiousIy recommends that the customary
veal be omitted on account of possible
slips in the programme of cancellation
There can be no doubt as to the desire
of the kentucaian to see harmony re-
established IN the democratic party, but
he proposes to have that harmony
brought about through the return Of the
party to its status prior to the national
convention of 1896. In other words, the
friends of Mr.. Bryan must turn over
their title to what they are pleased to
term the new democracy to the old
liners, as the price of harmony. The
electoral vote of Kentucky will not be
thrown to the democratic nominee for
president unless that party retires the
silver issue to the background. That is
the price of Henry Watterson's support,
and the Miner is basking in the sunshine
of a false hope if it foresees the redemp-
ton u kentucky on the free coinage
issue. Anent this phase of the situation,
Colonel Watterson recently said:
The new leaders vino are in the saddle

to think that if the area of democracy
be enlarged they will lose their places.
They exclaim against opening the doors

In a left-handed manner General Miles
is trying to stab the government in the
back. Yesterday he said: II do not care
to discuss the Philippine natter But,
with a shrug of the shoulders. he said he
didn't know whether the story that the
government was suppressing the news
was true or false, which vas equivalent
to saying it was true, or, at least, that
he wished his interviewer to gather tina
idea. "But everybody knows he added,
that things are very serious there" He
might have added that things are very
serious in this country when every en-
banned beef fakir is doing his utmost to
embarrass the administration in the con-
duct of the war.

The democratic press seem delighted to
learn that the Filipinos were able to col
lect in sufficient forces to give battle to
the Americans within ten miles or there
bout of the city of Manila. They gloat
over the fact that this territory, sup
posed to have been captured by our
troops, has been invaded by their friends,
the enemies of our country. 1t has all
along been maintained that while the
American had enough troops in the Phil
ippines to repulse the enemy. they did not
nave enough to properly garrison the
islands. This being true the rebels nave
been able in some instances to run back
into conquered territory. though disas-
trously defeated in every engagement.
The claim has never been made that the
provinces south Of Manila, where recent
troubles AVE occurred, We're at any time
in the hands of the American soldiers.

tore. To give aid and comfort to the
enemy Is treason. Such aid and comfort,
If given in the shape of supplies, might
be denominated physical treason; if Civ
en- in words Of encouragement, and in
statements of alleged facts that are ad-
~vantageous to the enemy. it might with
greater propriety be called moral treason.
The Standard comes within the latter des-
cription. If it has not rendered aid and
comfort TO the enemy it is only because
the enemy has not read the Standard. No
Filipino could read that newspaper con-
stantly without being impressed with the
showing that the United States govern
mert IS on its last legs in the Philippine
islands. and that so many mistakes have
been made in the conduct CT the war that
its further continuation is foreign to the
wishes of the people, and a great deal Of
additional rot along the same lines.
No doubt Aguinaldo would take delight
in reading the Standard, if he had time
to peruse 1t between foot-races. The i'm
preston of American inefficiency created
by such newspapers as the Standard
doubtless affords a great deal of encour-
agement to the Filipinos, as they are kept
advised as TO the sentiment in this coun-
try through their junta. Through such
laid and comfort they are led to con-
tinue hostilities in the hope hat their lost
cause may yet take on the form of sue

Two very interesting pairs of twins are

f. and John F. Sites. They are "a years

married twin sisters, the Misses Alice and
Carrie Worth. The two families live to-

Thirty years ago the brothers embarked
in business together in Wichita, and the
