Correspondent Inter Mountain.
The death of Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, late
senator from Vermont came like a shad-
ow over the closing days of the old year
at the National Capital. So much has al
ready been printed relating to his re-
markable public career that there remains
little to say which has not appeared be-
fore. In brief, Justin S. Morrill,, of STAFF
ford, Vermont, was born in that same
town April IA, 1910, therefore,, would have
been SO years of age had he lived until
next April. He received q common school
and academic education and began life as
as a merchant. Afterwards engaging in
agricultural pursuits. His first step in
his famous political life was made in 1854,
when he was elected to the 34th congress,
being at thai time A years of age. He
continued as a member of the 35th, 36th,
37th 3Sth and 39th congresses, and while
serving in the last was elected to the
United States senate as a union republi-
can succeeding Luke p. Poland, of the
same party. Taking his seat March 4th,
1867. Thus it will be seen his term of SER
vice in both branches of congress reached
the long period of A years. His present

THE INTER MOUNTAINS POSITION,

THE INTER MOUNTAINS POSITION,
AS the readers of the Inter Mountain
know, this paper has not taken sides in
now on the boards at Helena. 1t has
merely asked, as a matter of fair Rplay
to both sides, that public judgment be
suspended until the charges were fully
Investigated, and gave it's reasons there
for. We submit that this position is emf
only honorable one that a self7respecdting
newspaper could take. 81 q
Yet the Anaconda Standard this morn
ing, true to the spirit of unfairness that
pervades its columns, declares that "the
press of Butte and Helena" are making
common cause in the defense of Mr..
Clark. In making a statement of his
kind the Standard gives birth to a de-
liberate falsehood that would blister the
lips Of a hardened pirate. 1t proves it's
magnificent capacity for misrepresenta-
ton and arouses the well-grounded sus-
picion that it INDUCES that propensity
much oftener than it's gullible readers
suspect.
The Standards gray matter is evil
IDENTIFY so shriveled up and warped, so
discolored by the deep green virus of an
implacable hatred, that it can aecredit
no citizen with honesty or common de-
cency who does not follow it's leadership
without question. 1t has attacked the
members of the legislative assembly by
the wholesale, it has attacked the citizens
of Helena, it has hurled it's diatribes at
everybody and everything whenever an
the views of that journal. g n
1t is time his sort of Lilliputian news
paper work ceased. By nc system of
sense or reason can it justify it's assaults
upon people who express a desire to know
all the facts in the bribery case before
passing judgment on it's merits. It has
no right to say that such people are there
by defending Clark, when every court in
the land gives to an accused. man the
right of defense before passing Judgment
upon him. Should the people deal less
justly than the courts?
The attitude of the Standard is that of
the irresponsible mob that would lynch
a man and try him afterwards. It's tao
tics are d~espicable, and merit the con-
domination of honest men. 1t assumes the
role of a bulldozer trying to brow-beat
the people of this state into submission
to it's views. The Inter Mountain resents
the imputation that it is making "com-
mon cause" in behalf of Clark, when it is
merely registering its voice for fair play
between man and man, in a controversy
that must inevitably affect the future o.
this commonwealth for veal or woe. Thi;
is the prerogatiVe of every self-respect
ing man in the state of Montana and will
be exercised by the Inter Mountain
whether the interests of the Clark men
on the one hand, or the interests of thei
enemies, IN the other, are involved.

1t would, no doubt, be difficult for your
correspondent to presume upon the
friendship, or take advantage Of the con-
ndence reposed in him, and quote in the
public press the names Of such prominent
democrats who nave given utterance to
the expressions reported, in general, in
the article referred to. The Standard may
rest assured that the statements made
were true, based absolutely on fact, the
result of expressions not solicited, but
volunteered, and from members of the
Democratic party whose fidelity and in
telligence could not be questioned.
1t does not appear to be necessary for
your correspondent to say more than
enough to protect any statement for
which he is responsible. The article which
is the subject of criticism was written
without fear Of contradiction and was
absolutely the truth, and the attack of
the Standard appears to be very much
of a bluff. The statements made came
from democrats whose record will stand
comparison with those who controlled the
recent democratic convention in Mon
tana. 1t has frequently been heard that
the personal ambitions and desires of the
leaders of the two factions in the demo-
cratic party in Montana. was the cause of
their convention refusing to recognize
or adopt any suggestions from the great
leaders of their party in the matter of
cooperation with the silver republicans.
The action in Montana, Idaho and Utah
has placed those states in the doubtful
column in the election two years hence.
Dubois was turned down. in Idaho,
Cannon was ~repudiated in Utah and
Mantle not recognized in Montana. It is
not even anticipated that the democrats
can expect to secure the cooperation of
the silver republicans and populists after
the treatment they were accorded at the
last election. Your correspondent again
begs to assure you of the correctness Of
his former letter, and that the unfair and
petty criticism made thereon by the
Standard is the result either Of a lack Of
information or of very NARROW thought.
The proposition to submit the question Of
the authenticity of the expressions to a
commission is really so absurd that it is
hardly entitled to mention. The Stand
ard we'll knows that it would be unfair,
and not to be considered to request or ex-
poet prominent democrats to go on record
at this time when on such a subject every
assistance possible is required to keep
the party united. Men can and will eX-
press themselves in private, or in ordi-
nary conversation more positively than
they could afford to do for publication.
The challenge is similar to the original
criticism, "When you know you have a
weak hand, make the largest bluff

of his last letter to your paper relating to
expressions of democrats at Washington,

In view of the interest evinced in the
proposed increase in the standing army of
the United States, and the opposition
which the measure providing for the same
will receive. the following estimates re-
ceived by the house of representatives as
to the cost Of maintaining the military
establishment proposed by the Hull bill
are herewith furnished.
The present cost of the regular army is
given at $24,343 ,434t cost under proposed
bill $50, 053. sos, increase of cost, $57,710 251.
The cost as applied to the three main de-
partments of the army are as follows:
Quartermaster's department. present cost,
81, 101. 600; proposed $4O,0 13, 246; subsistence
department. present cost, $2,139, I15; pro-
posed, SIC, 14S,476; DAY department, pres
ent, $14, 1876, $50; proposed $31, S9l ,943.
Gen. Corbin encloses letters from Quar-
termaster General L~uddington, Commits
missary General Eagan, n Paymaster
General Stanton showing the details of
the comparison. The main items of IN
crease IN the quartermaSter's department
are: Transportation, from s., 300, 900 to
ST. 800, 600: clothing and equipment, from
1915 900 TO So. 1872. 246; regular supplies,

Gen. Eag7an gives the increased cost OF
each branch of the service, including &C.

says the pay estimate does not cover the
per cent, to enlisted men during time of
wal or the proposed 25 per cent, to those
serving in distant lands.

Journed over the holidays, but not with
standing this it was a notable a~ssemblage
which gathered to pay it's last respects to
the dead statesman. The president and
cabinet, members of the diplomatic corps,
Judges OF the supreme court and senator's
and members of congress occupied seats
on the floor of the senate together with
the remaining members of the d%eceased's
family. The galleries were filled to the
doors by the most distinguished people in
private life in Washington. The service
was very impressive, while the floral Of
ferings were ~unequalled. Senator Morrill,
was appointed chairmon of the committee
on finance in 1877, succeeding Hon. John
sherman who became secretary of the
treasury. He remained chairman of this,
the greatest committee Of the senate, I'M
til his death, only being succeeded during
the period when the senate was in control
of the democrats. The position gave him
almost unlimited power, but such advan-
tages were always used to the best inter-
est OF his country and his party. While
one Of the most dignifed men who ever
occupied a seat in the senate, he was gen
tie and kind to all who came in contact
with him from his colleagues down to his
messenger. His private life. as well as
political, was without a mar or blemlsh,
absolutely pure. Even at his extreme age
while his limbs tottered his brain remain

his death he addressed the senate in a
clear, forcible manne upon the necessity
of a supreme court and district building,

Among the attaches of the government
here there is no one who at this time is
listened to with greater interest and who
receives more attention than Mr.. A. w.
Ferguson of the Bureau of American Re-
publics, and recently official Interpreter
of the Paris peace commission. Mr.. Fer
guson was born in California, but raised
until 16 years of age in Mexico Uower
California;, acquiring an original knOwl-
edge of the Spanish language. He is a
lawyer by profession, but during the time
of the administration of Mr.. Blaine as
secretary of state, was selected to inter-
pref the proceedings of the famous Pan
American congress-. His thorough edu-
cation in English, together with the pure
Spanish accent acquired when a boy, as
we'll as a natural talent to grasp mat
ters quickly, made him the most valuable
man who could be secured. He was
afterwards appointed official Interpreter
of the Bureau of American Republics,
and for years has translated their volu-
minous reports from Spanish into
English, and vice versa. He received the
appointment as. Interpreter for. the peace
commission, n was highly cOmpii-
mented by the Spanish members of that
body for his perfect knowledge of their
language, as we'll as his unfailing nom
esty and fidelity to the duties he was
commissioned to perform. Mr.. Ferguson
bears the distinction of having a more
perfect control Of the Spanish language
than any native-born citizen of this
country. He exhibits as a souvenir of
the late war with Spain, the pen with
which the Spanish commissioners signed
the treaty, which was presented to him
by the president of that commission

tor successor, Judge Louis E.
McComas, formerly judge of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, was
elected over a year ago.. Senator Mills OF
Texas, having declined to run again, there
is some u as to who will follow him,
although indications and reports point to
the success of Governor CulbertsOn. In
the little state of Delaware the situation
is similar to that which prevailed four
years ago, when the republicans had con-
troll of the legislature, but were deadlock
ed and failed to elect. 1t will be reinem-
bered that Henry A. Dupont. the great
powder manufacturer was appointed to
fill the vacancy but, under the decision
laid down in the Mantle case, the senate
refused to seat him. The same two fac
tons, formerly known as the Addicks
and Dupont factions, are at war again,
the lower house having been organized
yesterday by a coalition of the democrats
and anti-Addicks republicans. This
would point toward a hard fought battle,
but there can hardly be a doubt but Whae
a republican will finally be elected to sue
coed Senate George Gray.
West Virginia is the only state where
the Legislature, IN joint ballot, is so close
as to create a doubt as to winch party
will elect the senator to succeed Faulk-
ner. Both parties claim a majority un-
der the following conditions:
The enate is Republican by 8; the
house is democratic by Z, but the major
ity in the senate includes two hold-over
members, who at the present time are
officers in the Volunteer Army of the
United States. At the recent election the
Democrats nominated and elected, with
out opposition, successors to the two SEN
ators referred to last. 1t will be noticed
that the unseating of the two Republic
cans will give the Democrats a majority
of one, and a failure to do so will give the
same majority to the Republicans. The
Democrats claim that unde the state
constitution no one can be elected to a
state office while holding a position under
the federal government. The question Is
a pretty one and will be followed with in
terest. A successor to the late Senator
Morrill, will likely be appointed before this
article appears in print, when the old
over members of the senate will be as fol
lows: Thus it will be seen that with a re-
publican senator from West Virginia the
republican strength in the senate will be
54-a majority of is, while if a democrat
should succeed in securing the election
from said state the republican strength
would be SO and majority Is.
