relevant? Do the barbarians of the
warfare that would bring the blush Of
shame to the bronzed features of an
Apache Indian, bear the same relations
to the American people of today that our
forefathers bore to England? Do the
precedent-loving democratic press as
sumo that the savages of the south Pa
cific have the same claims upon Amer
lean support and sympathy that our
colonial ancestry had upon the mother
country in those heroic days of old? And
10 the democratic press assume to carry
and seek, through opposition to the gov
in it's efforts to suppress the war
in the Philippines. to enable A%guinaldo
to achieve a victory over Il country as
our revolutionary fathers did over the
relocated soldiery of King George? Is
this the aim and purpose of the so-called
anti-imperialists? 9
We are told by these gentlemen that
if the war in the Philippines lasts as long
as did the revolutionary struggle. those
who favor the assertion of American
sovereignty in those islands will be in the
minority in his country. This may be
true. n is this the reason why the
democratic press YOU prolOng that war
by throwing every possible embarrass-
ment in the way of the national admins
democratic managers to
Aguinaldo and discourage Mckinley, in
the hope that the wal may be prolonged,
with all the loss of life it would imply,
until the former is %enthroned in power
in the Philippines and the latter is
punished for his patriotism to the Amer
lean flag? Such is the logical inference
from the arguments used by the demo-
cratic press.
And yet these gentlemen object to be-
ing called traitors. The Inter Mountain
has no desire to wound their feelings,
and would gladly use some synonymous
term in the place of hat ugly word if it
could think Of something that would fill
the bill. Blu with all it's wealth of ex-
preston the English language affords
nothing that will so clearly designate a
times of war as the word-traitor.

that of free coinage, why should they
not demand. equal fidelity to them on the
part of the voter? In other words, why
should they not insist upon party men,
bership as the first duty of the citizen,
rather than his cooperation along the
of like Importance did not meet his ap-
prevail?
1t was the latter view of the situation
which was taken by the democratic party
in 1889. 1t advertised to the world that
it no longer regarded silver as a para
mount issue which should take prece-
dence in national legislation, but as
standing on an equality with it's tariff
declarations and other party doctrines.
Silver leaders like Mr.. Bryan did not at
first endorse this idea, but recommended
the cooperation of the silver parties in
1889 as in 1896. preliminary to the contest
of 1900. But Mr.. Bryan and other silver
leaders were overruled, and the policy of
the party was re-established along a new
line.
To that policy Mr.. Bryan has since
subscribed, declaring in his speech be-
fore the St. Louis conference. called to
outline a course of party procedure for
1900, that the leading issue in the next
presidential campaign would be anti
trusts-not the free coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio of 16 to l, by the indie
pendent action of the republic. Silver,
in his opinion. should remain a party
question, but instead of being the para
o issue. as in 1896, it should take it's
place with other planks then regarded
as of minor ~onsequenc
1t is clear that the democratic party
has evoluted itself out of all considera-
ton as a trustworthy exponent of BIZ
metallic principles. 1t has subordinated
the issue to the level of impractical ques-
tons, which woul come to the front with
democratic a~scendancy, and attempted to
compel silver men to subscribe to a test
of fealty that would do violence to their
conscience and their judgment, or be
branded as enemies to the white metal.

SAVAGE CANNIBALS IN CANADA,

Recent arrests Of northwest Canadian
indian by a detachment of the mounted
police go to prove that cannibalism is still
practiced by Canadian aborigines. Two
prisoners brought into the barracks at
Edmonton by the police We're caught red
handed, but they seek to defend them
selves for the charge of murder by de-
claring that their victim was addicted to
cannibalism, and that, having surprised
him in the act of feeding upon human
flesh, they killed him upon the spot, in
accordance witt their custom. These
Indians believe that when one of their
number once tastes human flesh, ever to
assuage the pangs of hunger, he becomes
changed into a Windigo, or man-eating
monster, who will not hesitate to kill in
order to, crafty his appetite whenever
the opportunity offers. They. therefore,
consider it a solemn duty, as we'll as a
simple act of self-preservatiOn to kill at
sight, if possible by a stealthy blow from
behind, anyone known to have practiced
a~nthropophagy.
The missionaries say that it is usually
hunger, and not a passion for human
flesh, that drives them to the practice.
Father Dablon tells in his journal of a
disease that was quite common among
some Of these Indians. The victim sud-
denly became a hy~pOchOndriac, his NAL
ady developing into a mania In it's sue
III ld6C lS was SClAcu WIFI
such hunger for human flesh that he
sprang like a famished wolf upon all that
he met.
SIN proportion" says the good father,
"as he finds wherewith to glut this hum
ger, it grows like thirst in dropsy, and
accordingly the Indian never fails to kill
at once anyone seized with this disease"
This will be the line of defense made
on behalf Of the present Indian prisoners
at Edmonton. Father Nedelac. who jour-
neyed as far north as Lake M~istassini to
minister to the Indians there, reports the
murder of a young man 10 years of age,
in 1867. by his own mother, for the same
reason. and another missionary tells the
story of the murder by another Indian
woman of two entire families, with the
exception of one young man. The VIC
Tins included wv men, two three
boys and four girls, and she subsisted for
some time upon their flesh.

The Helena Independent has lots of

room, indeed, to talk about newspaper
courtesy and comfy when it makes the
idiotic statement that it "understands''
that Hon. Lee Mantle will suppo the

stood anything of the kind, and the only
understanding" about its paragraph was
that it was intended as a deliberate in
suit.
