Which Proved. However, to BE Nothing
More Than Talk.
After the adjournment at noon there
was talk of bringing Belmont and
Harrison counties together on Judge
Jesse w. Hollingsworth, of st. Glars
vile, cousin of the General. The
scheme if worked. was To placate
Weems with the Circuit Judgeship or
Judge Hollingsworth' seat on the
Common Pleas bench. This was Bel
mont's plan, but they reekoned without
their host. All of Belmont couldn't be
delivered to the Judge and Harrison
was not for leaving her idol. Two po-
tent obstacles to the programme.

The Houston (Tex.) Times, a demo-
cratic paper, seems to be getting dis
satisfied with the old order of things.
1t says editorially: "It is high praise
to republican policy that it is always
on the alert to multiply the dollars in
the community; that home enterprises
are encouraged ard that it does not
hesitate to push its conquests into the
regions beyond, instead of sitting
supinely wringing its hands and crying
ruin. when the dollars pour in and out
of the banks and channels of trade. A
political party that finds fault with
prosperous business because it is pros.
porous, is not long for this world and
unfit for the next"

PETER A REPUBLICAN,.

1t is rather hard Oh the republican
party to be burdened with a man like
ex-United States Senator PETER of
Kansas, it is true, but he accurately
sizes up the situation in the following
interview, given out yesterday:
I have always been a republican ex-
cept on the one main questionable
money question. That seems to have
settled itself now. The populist party
has been eliminated nationally by the
democrats. so those of us who don't
want to flop by ourselves will have to
voice our convictions as best we can.
The old simon pure alliance man, who
left the republican party was never
headed for democracy, and he is not
now.

THE HURST CASE.

Arguments Made for u New Trial in the
Glendive Murder Case.
Tie Yellowstone journal of yester-
day says:
G. R. Middleton, senior counsel for
Joe Hurst, the Glendive man under
sentence of death for the murder of
Dominick Cavanaugh. returned yester-
day from Glendive, where he had been
to make arguments on the matter Of a
motion for a new trial for his client.
He submitted six affidavits in support
of the motion, two of them from jurors
who deposed that the fact that Hurst
had declined to testify in his own be-
half had influenced them in arriving at
a verdict against the %defendanst, they
having been of the opinion that they
were justified in doing SO. The remain
ing affidavits referred to conversations
the Opponents had had with some of
the jurors relating to the same subject.
The matter was not disposed of, the
state desiring time to prepare counter
affidavits and in order that it be ena-
bled to do so the court set the whole
matter for June 10. When the court
decision was rendered the defense
moved to make an order postponing the
day of execution, fixed for tomorrow.
but this motion was denied, the court
holding that it had not the power to do
SO, but at the same time intimated that
the defendant was not in any danger of
being hanged so long as matters re-
manned in their present condition. To
make it entirely certain that the sent.
ence of the court would not be carried
out MI. Middleton filed a formal notice
Of al appeal from the Judgment of the
court, thereby reversing the usual order
of things. which is to wait until the
court has ruled on the motion for a new
trial and then if the motion is denied
to appeal from the Judgment denying
the motion.

The sensational newspapers of demo-

Strong and Active with Large Demand
for Export.
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of Boston, under date of May
IS. says: "The wool market continues
strong and active. The features of the
weeks business have been the con
tinued large demand for export, the
inquiry being principally for Australian
woods IN bond and for territory. The
movement in the latter bids fair to as
sumo large proportions unless the hold
ers of such wool raise their asking
prices to higher figures than foreigners
will pay, Already, however, several
million pounds Of territory have been
sold for export.
About 800, 900 pounds are reported
as having been sold in Philadelphia
last week to Germany. the wool costing
the purchaser % cents clean, while adj
ditional lines have been taken here dur
ing the past week. Prices are strong.
The country markets are excited. The
sales for the week in Boston amount to
4, 1l3, 900 pounds domestic and 4,200.-
800 pounds foreign, making a total of
1915. 500, against a total of 1888, 900
for the previous week and a total of
1,4O2, 500 for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since Jan. l. 1899.
amounted to 80, 900, 800 pounds,
against 46, 0OS, 80 pounds last year at
this time"

MUST GO 1T ALONE.

Ex-senator Lee Mantle, interviewed
by the Washington Post last Sunday,
is credited with the following:
In the west there will be no more
alliance of silver republicans with
democrats. The help that was given
by the silver republicans in past
campaigns will not be forthcoming
and all talk of fusion in the future is
idle. The democrats welcomed the
silver republicans as allies in close
states, but in states where they secured
the a~scendancy repudiated them in the
most contemptuous manner. The men
who received this treatment are not
likely to put themselves in position to
experience it again, and whatever the
democrats hope to accomplish in states
like Montana and Utah, they will have
to achieve without the aid Of any other
party.
Every word of the above is true;
Mr.. Mantle can testify from personal
experience as to the treatment of silver
republicans by the democrats of Mon
tana. And, while this newspaper does
not desire to rub it in" to the gentle
man, he is respectfully reminded that
he was warned by the republican press,
time and again, what would be the re.
suit Of his coalition with the party of
negation and false promises. MI.
Mantle should have at least forseen this
result last year, ever though it was not
apparent to him in '96, and returned
to the republican party. That he will do
so next year we have no doubt. but his
Washington interview would be much
more complete and satisfactory if he
had so declared himself. The useful.
ness of the silver republican party-if
it ever had any-is at an end and there
is only one haven for such men as Mr..
Mantle. Let them fly to it without
further delay; their friends are anxious
to know where they stand now.

THE SA MOAN AFFAIR.

In spite of denials, there has been
considerable uneasiness in official cir
Giles over the complications arising out
ct the Samoan affair. Much gratifica-
ton is now evinced over the attitude of
Germany in expressing her regret at
the tragedy in which the American and
British marines figured. and her de-
clared intention of furnishing, if guilty,
the German subject to whose treachery
the ambuscade is charged,
The most lamentable feature of the
whole affair is the violent wrath and
unprecedented excitement evinced by
certain German American citizens aud
newspapers on the subject. 1t does not
seem possible, however, to believe that
the papers of Berlin are correct when
they interpret the recent demonstra-
tions in this country to mea that our
German.American citizens favor the
interests of the fatherland az opposed to
those Of the United States. II old
world ties are to render subservisnt the

A COLLEGE ~MAss-MEETING.

The committee having in charge the
matter of securing a college for Bill.
inps has decided to hold a mass-meeting
in the court house tomorrow evening to
consider the subject. It is deemed ad-
yisable not to wait for DR.. Pearsons'
visit in June. but rather to get the
matter in shape in the way of determ-
lining how much money Billings can
raise, before his arrival. This. we be.
lieve, is a wise conclusion. DR.. Pear
sons does not start colleges; his policy
has been to help them out after they
have been established. Hence this city
must do what she car in the way Of
raising funds before she can expect the
generous bequest of $50, 000.
DR.. HELLER, the representative of Dr..
Pearsons, will be present tomorrow
evening to give out further particu-
lars about the enterprise, and the court
house should be filled with our repre-
sentative people; every MAI and
woman interested in the future Of the
city should be there. in fact. Funds
must be raised if Billings wants this
institution; she first must help herself
if she expects others to asst her.
Let tomorrow e> ening's meeting be a
large one. Let it definitely decide
what this city can or will do, and then
DR.. P~earsons will be heard from.
