Probably the most striking figure in
Montana politics is Colonel Wilbur F.
Sanders. Fearless and possessing the
courage OF his convictions the ere
publican war horse" has hewn true to
the line without particular regard as
to where the chips fell. At a time when
it was decidedly unpopular in this
state, even among republicans, to ad-
yocate the gold standard and when
large majority of his own party repu-
dated the financial plank OF their ma
tional convention, Colonel Sanders was
still a republican, answering and
loyal to the principles which his party
had enunciated in it's platform. Since
that time the colonel has been scores

attention to these vascillating politi-
clans, but has held to the straight
course that he had decided to pursue.
Well satisfied in his own mind that he
is right, it matters little to him what

the man.
! Colonel Sanders spent a pleasant day
in Anaconda last week and while here
he submitted TO an interview. He re-
ceived the reporter cordially, express
ing surprise, however, that there should
be any desire for a statement from him
on matters political He thought that
everybody in the state understood his
position. He settled himself comfort
ably in an easy chair and spoke as
follows in characteristic strain:
Political issues are not the artificial
creations that many men seem to think
and that much political talk would
seem to indicate. They grow out Of
the succession of events, and in the ev'
slution of things shape themselves, un
influenced by minor individual action
There is great deal of anxiety mani
tested by individuals in exceptiona
cases that this or that question shall
be the leading issue in the poltica
controversies of the next year. Blu
the issues will be framed without Very
much regard to this individual desire
Although the controversy Of 1886 seem!
to me to have been relegated to thu
background by the elections of tha
year and since, and in greater regret
by the events that have since transpir

not take as much time nor near as
many men to give that party to the
wolves, and the consequences of the
folly that was perpetrated in a single
campaign cannot be retrieved as
easily.
There is another matter pending
which is not very imminent, but about
which there is much babble. What
shall be done with Porto Rico and the
Philippine islands? On a question of
that gravity the people of the United
States will insist upon ample time ito
deliberate. They will know the char
acter and quality of these islands and
their inhabitants before they make any
permanent or final disposition of them.
They are now ours; not as we own
ranches, but as we act as guardians of
infants. Nowhere Is there the remot-
est suggestion that we shall exploit
them for the money that there is in
them, or act otherwise toward them
than is for the good of their inhabi-
tants.
NO surprise in recent years equals
that caused by the very distinguished
men who have in charge what is called
the 'anti-imperiaIist' or 'anti-expansion'
policy of the country. Many of them are
very great men, of whom no word of

ated to settling them. Nearly all the
great events of the last SO years have
been controlled, directed and their fruit
age garnered under the direction and
control of these men, and it is not
strange that they shrink from bringing
onto the stage new events, prolific or
great consequences and lifting their
country out of the groove in which they
have securely navigated it, when they
are conscious, as I am conscious, that
the results of this action cannot be
measured in their day, and the difec-
ton and control of which must be re-
mitted to another generation than ours.
Every man looking at the vastness of
these results must experience some So

lieitude, but have cheerful and abid-
ing faith that the generations which
follow ours will be as wise In their day
as are we, and that no peril Will come
to the republic by reason OF the SOW
ereignty and influence OF the United
States over these most fortunate and
beautiful possessions am glad we OBJ
tanned them; I do not apologize that
they have fallen into our hands, nor
place their transfer of sovereignty upon
any ground of necessity. Wisely we
needed them, sincerely we wanted
them. fortunately we obtained them.
''All talk about our holding them be-
Ing manifestation of tyranny seems
to be sham and shallow. l lived In
Montana 25 years while the congress of
the United States had absolute author
ity over me and my neghbors as to our
form Of government, and although 300
900 of us, fresh from the United States,
chafed at our territorial tutelage, we
were not conscious of any tyranny ex-
ercised over us: and what was true of
us, is yet true of Arizona, New Mexico,
Alaska, the Indian Territory, Porto
Rico and the Philippine islands. Dur
Ing these years Of our tutelage we did
not get much sympathy from these ex-
cellent gentlemen by reason of any de-
NAL of the rights of American citizen
ship, although most of them favored the
termination of our territorial existence.
When order shall have been re-estab-
lished in the Philippine islands we shall
wisely consign to their inhabitants all
the authority which they are fitted to
exercise in arranging institutions of
their own. In those elemental rights
embodied in the constitution of the
United States, beyond the power of de-
struction by them, neither they nor our
people will feel that they are denied

First Flag pole ON Pacific Coast.

From the San Francisco Call.
On the highest ground of a long, low
hill distant about one mile to the
westward of the little town of Bodega,
in Western Sonoma county, Cal, there
stands tall, somewhat decrepit red
wood Flagstaff. This ancient looking
pole is about 50 feet in height, is bent
with age and exposure, and is slowly
decaying. That plain, warped old
redwood fiagpole is the patriarch Of all
flagpoles not only in California, but on
the entire Pacific slope. For it was the

They seem to desire to increase this
