There is a disposition in some
sections to lay Judge Huston on
the shelf at the next election, and
some papers are advocating the
election Of Judge Stockslager. We
don't know either of these wearers
Of the ermine, but if Boise is not to
have a supreme ~judgeship, than we
say, go north after one. Judge
Quarles isfrom Pocatello and Judge
Sullivan is from Haley. Thus it
will be seen that the south part of
the state is well represented on the
supreme bench. Why not take
Judge Steel or J. w. Reid, or
some eminent lawyer from the
north. They have plenty of them
up there and in justice that part of
of the state should be given a chance.

We repeat the following prognos-
tieatiod, or something that means
the same thing:
If the silver republicans have a
majority in the next legislature,
they will elect Dubois senator.
If the democrats have the edge,
they will elect Steunenberg.
If the republicans lead in votes
they will choose Shoup, or Hey
burn or Morrison, or some other
good republican.
1t seems to be dollars to tin
plates that Steunenberg will be
Shoup's successor.

gon and Wyoming with a view to ex-
terminating the Mongolians. A reign
of terror was inaugurated. and the
state department was soon deluged
with pleas to protect Chinese at various
points.
: All through the interior of California
the mobs were at work and the Chinese
were in terror. The chief outbreaks
were at Bowlder creek, Redding
Bloomfield, Eureka and Nicolaus. At
the latter place the mob drove all the
Chinese on board river craft and then
set it adrift, any Chinaman leaving it
being shot. For this succession of out
RACES the United States paid s276,619.75,
that amount being appropriated in the
deficiency bill of 1888.
The outrages against Italians have
occurred mainly in Louisiana. where
more than a dozen citizens of Italy
have suffered death at the hands of
mobs. The massacre of Italian prison
ers at New Orleans, on March IA. 1891,
is one of the most sensational events
in our diplomatic history, not only from
it's bloody character, but from the fact
that it brought the two nations to the
verge of war. I'll feeling had long eX-
listed against the Italians in New Or
leans. and this finally took form when
the chief of police of the city, d. c.
Hennesy, was secretly killed Great
excitement followed the murder, and
suspicion was directed against the Ma
fla, said to be an organization of Sicil
ians. who robbed and murdered. Nine
Italians were arrested and placed in
jail on suspicion.
Feeling was further aroused by the
formation of vigilance committee,
which issued an address to all Italians,
warning them that the committee
would proceed to extreme and harsh
measures, by summary means, with
out process of law. means which may
strike innocent and guilty alike"
This state of public feeling had its
natural result. and on March IA mob
of fifty armed men proceeded to the
jail. gained entrance without serious
opposition, seized eleven of the inmates
supposed to be Italians, and hanged
them to oak trees outside the Jail en-
closure. Some of the prisoners turned
out to have been taken by mistake,
and of the eleven hanged, only six or
seven were Italians.
Italians were again the victims in the
| Walsenburg (Col) riots in March, 1895.
| This grew out of race prejudice in the
| mining country An American saloon
| keeper. one Hixon, was found murdered
in coal field, and rumor accused the
Italian miners of being the perpetrat-
ors of the crime. Five Italians We're
arrested in the mines, and, escorted by
| a sheriff's posse, set out in a wagon
for Walsenburg. When they were near
ing the town they were met by a band
of masked men on horseback, who COW
cred the party with rifles and prevented
the crossing of the bridge. Rifles and
revolvers were used freely, and while
all of the sheriffs posse escaped three
of the Italians were killed. Two others
took to flight and made their escape

The American people are absolutely
in the dark as to what the executive
policy is--if the president has any. We
are told in a vague, indefinite way, that
he is going to restore peace in the ISL
ands. The American people may be
pardoned if their growing impatience
manifests itself in inquiries as to how
this is to be done. They may be par
doned if they express regrets over Lu-
ION campaigning that thus far is with
out substantial fruits. Montana nat
urally feels prompted to this inquiry
it has had in service a splendid regi-
ment whose rank is third in the list of
its dead and second only to the Twen-
tieth Kansas in the list of it's wounded.
If the conditions do not warrant pro-
posals of concession, then let the policy
of force go on but let it be a policy OF
VITAL aggressive, convincing, conquer
ing force. That has not been the Nc
Kinley method hitherto. This is the
policy that must prevail, but, prompted
by motives of political expediency, the
president will not soon resort to it
unless he is prodded by public opinion
and compelled, at whatever risk to his
personal popularity, to make his cam
paign an aggressive fight.

Lynchings in which foreigners are the
victims are proving a heavy item of
expense to the government. The de-
mand which Italy is about to make for
the recent lynching of three Italians
in Louisiana has called attention to
the international complications growing
out of this lawlessness and to the ac-
tual cost it involves to the United
States. Indemnity claims of this sort
in the last few years have been about
half million dollars
The following large payments were
made by the government in these out
rage cases:
Paid China for Rock Springs
Wyo) massacre ...........s 147, 74S4
Paid China for outrages on Pa
cine coast ................... 276,6l9I5
PAD Italy for massacre OF
Italian prisoners at New
Orleans ......... ............ 24,33O.9o
Paid Italy for lynChingS at
Walsenburg, Col. 80. 100000
Paid Great Britain for out
RACES on James Balm and
Frederick Dawson .......... 2,S0000
The first payment to China. amount
ing to s147,74S.74. grew out of the out
RACES at Rock Springs. Wyo.. in Sep
TENDER, 1865. This was part of the
war of determination waged against
the Chinese all along the Pacific coast
states, but the atrocities at Rock
Springs were attended with circum-
stances of unusual cruelty. In all,
twenty-eight Cinnamon were killed and
fifteen wounded, and property valued
at about s150,00O was destroyed. The
mob gathered about midday of Sept. 2
and marched, one hundred and fifty
strong, to the Chinese quarter of the
town. Here a long line of men armed
with rifles was thrown out in front of
the houses occupied by the Chinese,
and fusillade began as the occu
pants sought to make their way to
places of safety.
Many of the Cinnamon were shot as
they fled, some Were taken in their
homes and either shot or cut to pieces.
and others escaped to the woods. The
houses being cleared, the mob fired ev
cry available building, and the entire
Chinese section was burned to the
ground. The firing of the houses began
little after nightfall and lasted until
midnight. Those who witnessed the
scene testified that all night long the
surrounding hills were lighted up by
the glare of the burning Chinese houses
and that the crack of the rifles in the
hands of the mob was heard incessant-
ly. During all this time rioting, rob
berry and arson were carried on boldly,
and the lowest classes of men, women
and children joined in the looting and
plundering.
Again, in 1883. the government was
called upon to pay large sum for Chi
nese outrages. This was for riots in
1885 very similar to the Rock Springs
affair, but covering a wider area. The
white labor of the coast states had de-
termined to drive out the Chinese, and

What They Waited For.

IHEN the Oregon volunteers
" landed at San Francisco and
said things about the Philip
pine war that grated harshly on adj
ADMINISTRATION ears, the discourteous
comment of some of the presidential
organs was that what these Westerners
said was nothing to go by and that, to
get the truth, we must wait until other
soldiers, the Pennsylvanians, for in
stance, reached home.
These Keystone-state veterans landed
at San Francisco in due time A strong
desire to interview them was evinced
by the eastern press; at any rate. these
Pennsylvanians were more widely quot
ed in interviews then the Oregonians
We're. 1t is the same sort of talk, only
more of it. The Pennsylvanians did not
come home bringing compliments for
the war regency with them. On the
contrary, these eastern volunteers are
rather more severe in their criticism
than the PaCifiC-coast men were.
AS the result of the Manila round
robin, General Otis was made more dis
t'hStis a. HiiHtaIS lSSue lHdH lie was
at the time when the Oregon regiment
returned. The Pennsylvania volunteers
discuss General Otis freely; confessedly
they do not admire him. In fact, sew
eral Of the administration organs whose
comment of five days ago has now
reached Montana find themselves COM
PEELED to admit that with the Pennsyl-
vania veterans General Otis is not al
all in favor. For that matter, the re-
marks of these returned soldiers, now
well before the public, are pointedly tc
the effect that the Philippine campaign
is not popular affair with those who
have fought IN it as volunteers.

What We Have Gained.

~HE Chicago Tribunes Manila
correspondent states that dur
ing the rainy season, which will
last until November, the American
army can hardly be expected to do any
thing more than hold what it has gain
ed and prepare for the next campaign
Then he adds SUCCESSFULLY that the
ground to be defended is not great
and he proceeds to give some idea of
its boundaries, although not a very
definite one.
According to this statement the reg
ion in question extends fifteen miles
south of Manila and forty-one miles
north, making a total length of fifty
six miles. The correspondent leaves
the width of the strip rather uncertain,
but if We call it twenty miles, it will
probably be somewhere near the mark.
This would make a total area in our
possession of just about eleven hun
bred square miles-not far from one
fortieth part of the island of Luzon-
as the result of a hard summers cam
paign.
The correspondent also informs us
that the Filipinos are constantly and
aggressively alert and that our troops
can hold this territory as the result
only of almost continual fighting. He
states that the natives hold all of the
railroad north of San Fernando-con-
siderably more than two-thirds of it
and three fourths of the rolling stock,
lii
the Americans have four. The out
posts of our forces are virtually in -
state of siege. In illustration of the sit
uation the correspondent says that
Balinag is reported as entirely sur
rounded, it being impossible to get sup
plies and mails to the garrison except
under an escort of one hundred and
fifty armed men.
The correspondent gives many par
ticulars showing the strained and diff
cult character of the situation, but per
haps the most significant point in his
entire statement is his reference to the
Improvement the Filipinos are making
in the art of modern war-he says they
are learning things in every encounter
with the Americans, especially in
craftsmanship and battle formation
This is all natural enough. and it is
by no means reassuring. OF course,
the power of the United States to crush
out their resistance is not for a moment
TO be doubted, at the same time, it IS
clear that very little has yet been
gained and that the longer the conflict
lasts the more effective the Ffipinos
will become in war and the greater
will be the force required to conquer
them. If the Tribune correspondent is
anywhere near right in his statement
of the situation, We still have a big job
on hand in the Philippines. Hence the
irresolution of the president and the
uncertainty as to his policy are not
pleasant things to contemplate.

The Yaqui Revolt.

N the list of wars and rumors of war
that are now vexing the world, the
revolt of the Yaqui Indians in Mex
leo Is not the least conspicuous. A lit
lie more than ten years ago, after fight
ing them ten years, the Mexican gov
eminent concluded a treaty of peace
with these bloodthirsty savages. One
of the conditions Of the treaty was that
the government should supply the tribe
with certain quantities of food. But as
this practice was found to promote
ldleness and sloth, the food supply was
recently cut off. This act and alleged
encroachmeltrs on their allotments for
mining purposes enraged the Yaquis
beyond measure and they proceeded to
go upon the warpath.
The 1aquis are excellent fighters
better man for man than the Mexican
soldiers. They are tall and muscular
finer specimens of physical manhood
than any other Indians on the CONT
nent. They are clearly in their habits,
fairly intelligent, and in respect to the
marriage relation strictly moral, cases
being almost unknown among them,
They are fond of their children and
carefully rear them. AS a rule in
time of peace they are Industrious and
thrifty, and had not the Mexican gov
eminent promised to feed them and
thereby encouraged them in idleness,
the peace might have been continued
indefinitely.
The ten years war" that ended in
1897 was conducted by the Yaquis with
great spirit and cunning. Repeatedly
they swooped down from their noun
tain Businesses and literally massacred
bodies of Mexican troops The Mexicans
feared them acutely and not infre-
quently broke and ran in the presence
of an inferior force. The Yaquis are
said to be abundantly supplied with
arms and ammunition and by levying
upon the ranchers for their food they
| may give the Mexican government an
other long, tedious, troublesome and
| bloody war.

the comment of the Philadelphia
Times, which says: THAT the
same spirit of malignant perse-
cution which forced Captain AL
fred Dreyfus out of the army of France
and consigned him to living death in
a prison should penetrate to the army
of the United States and drive from
its representative institution one of its
bright students for no other reason
than that his religious belief was re-
jected by the great body of his fell
lows. is not to be tolerated by the spirit
of justice and fair play that is the
dominating principle of the American
republic"
That is a sentiment which will find
ready response in every community in
the land. Yet it must be said that the
talk that has thus far reached the pub
lie is exclusively by inference. The
newspaper itself which we have just
quoted had an interview with young
Albert and he supported no part of the
charge that has been brought against
the school at West Point. The matter
has reached the authorities at WASH
ington. They say that the Israelites
are represented in West Point gradu-
ates, and that if Dreyfus style of
is in vogue there they know
