Kentucky, normally a democratic state,
had become so corrupt in it's bourbon
leadership. that the self-respecting men,
bers of that organization celebrated the
odd-year election by assisting the repub-
lican voters to relegate it to the rear.
In Ohio an attempt was made to pla-
cate the silver men with a democratic
declaration in favor of bimetallism, and
an equally vigorous effort was made to
please the gold men by retiring that is
sue to the background on the stump,

The latest developments in the Philip
pine situation calls to mind the able,
truthful and patriotic letter from Captain
L. w. Wynne of Company G, of the First
Montana volunteers, published in these
columns on the 18th of last July. In that
letter, which made a profound impression
upon thinking men in all parts of the
state, Captain Wynne said:
And why? In my opinion, mostly be-
cause of the traitorouS u~tteranceS of a
lot of professional politicians and the UNI
patriotic editorials published in certain
American newspapers whose partisanism
absolutely smothers their patriotism, if
they ever had any. These are the people
who are directly responsible for the she'd
ding Of SO much American blood. Aguin-
aldo and his immediate followers are not
fighting for liberty. They are fighting for
power. for the opportunity of wearing
golden collars or for the purpose of being
bribed to cease hostilitles. Aggy himself
as we all know. is Won't to have an Itch
ing palm. His government, so far as he
has been able to u it. has been corrupt,
tyrannical and ferocious. His system Of
taXation has amounted to confiScatlon,

of our so-called patriotic statesmen and
editors.
Every statement set forth in the fore
| going has been verified over and over
again during the fall months. Not a
bourbon editor in this or any other state
has dared assail the truthfulness OF
Captain Wynne's statements, for events
have demonstrated that the writer knew
! precisely what he was saying. The letter
is "a severe arraignment of the bourbon
journals that have fed the Filipino junts

among the natives. Blu it was deserved

DEWEy'S AWFUL DEED.

Democratic admiration for Admiral
Dewey seems to be diminishing in some
quarters. If the Helena Independent COR
rectly represents bourbon sentiment in
the capitol city, the great naval hero's
latest deed has outraged the rules OF
financial etiquette in that community.
1t says:
a large number of people who cheer
fully contributed to the fund to buy Adj
miral Dewey a home in Washington Will
be chagrined and displeased to learn
that he has decided the house to his wife,
whom he married after the house was
bought. Many are beginning to Tear
that the affection of the whole people
for Dewey is not reciprOCated.
If the people gave Dewey that house
in Washington because he captured
Montejo, the admiral has merely gone
them one better" by giving the house to
the lady who captured the captor OF
Montejo. Instead of exciting displeasure
and chagrin by such an act, as the indie
mended for passing the trophy down the
line. 1t shows his ability to recognize
in the late Mrs. Hazen qualities of gem
eralship quite as admirable as his own.
The only race of people who can be
excused for censuring Dewey for deed
ing that house to his Wife, are the con-
firmed old bachelors. They are not sup
posed to appreciate the value Of m
kind. or to understand why Dewey
should give his wife a home of his own.
One can almost imagine that the editor
of the Independent is laying the fOunda
tions for a permanent career as a bach
elor. Else why should he fear that his
love for Dewey is not reciprocated,
merely because that house has beer
decided to Mrs. Dewey?
Outside the independents bachelor
constituency, it will strike the average
man that Admiral Dewey has paid a
high tribute to the nobility Of woman
hood, and the triumph Of domestic love,
by placing the Gift Of his American ad-
mirers in the hands Of his wife.

Mr.. Willis J. Abbot, a distinguished
correspondent of the New York World,
spent yesterday in Butte viewing the
sights of a great city. Mr.. Abbot is a
metropolitan journalist of wide renown.
He was at one time an editorial writer
on the New York Tribune and later. ed
tied the New York Journal. He has
many times interviewed William J.
Bryan for the press, and enjoys the con-
fidence of that eminent statesman, of
whose high character he speaks with
enthusiasm. He is a public speaker as
we'll as a newspaper writer, and recently
delivered some political addresses in
Ohio. Today Mr.. Abbot is in Anaconda,
probably seeking material for some cor
respondence. which will be awaited with
keen interest. He Is a personal friend
of Mr.. Lemuel Eli Quigg, formerly of the
Helena Journal and now a prom inent
politician of New York. The Inter Noun
tain takes pleasure in welcoming Mr..
Abbot to Montana, n trusts he will
fine much in the political situation here
to entertain him and the readers of the
World, which, though an anti-silver
paper, is one of the greatest journals
printed.

ex-Delegate Major Maginnis and Con-
gr~essman-elect A. J. Campbell. The
former once served the state as a demo-
crat with honor. He was honestly for
silver. He had a good record as a Union
soldier. Wherever he went he was con-
s%picuous. Statesmen and soldiers de-
lighted to do him honor, as he had many
republican characteristics. He was pop
ular and respected. He was not a Clark
tie or a Dalyite, though he was Broad
waters great friend. He was and is a
handsome man. digniied, courteous. af-
fable, a man of taste and refinement, SO
much so that he has been relegated to
private life of late years by dominant
democrats. 1t was expected by every
body in Washington that some day Ma
ginnis would go back to congressional
work. He still looks like a congressman
and acts like a man who understands a
congressman's duties.

.'You could be used to boil tar in and
