= F you are a citizen Of Montana and
IL you keep up like a brave man
with the Montana procession. you
have every reason to carry forward a
Kindly remembrance Of the old year
and to anticipate with good heart the
Nate which the new year has in store
for you.
, The year that has just made its round
was kind to the people of u thrifty
commonwealth. 1t was n year that
brought blessings in temporal things.
1t was a prosperous year for mines, for
fiocks. for herds. All in all, IL was for
as a year Of pieasanter experiences than
those with which the majority of the
communities in other parts OF the world
were favored.
The stranger within our gates might
assume that there isn't much that is
joyful for the Silver State. with silver
at ffty-nine-that was the closing quo
tation for the year. But the average
stranger is o acquainted with the
splendid range OF u that are
giving enduring greatness to this state.
The providence hat equipped Nom
rana with its limitless stores of copper
offsets and makes even more than good
the evil that befell the state as the re-
u OF the legislative crime which de-
prived silver of its rightful function in
the currency Of this country. II those
who nicknamed Montana had Il to do
over again, they might with propriety
a it the Copper State; the output of
the states mammoth plants would war;
rant hat designation.
Yet we are all glad to hav Montana
known to the world as the Silver State.
We glory in the name: we are girded
for our share OF the work in fighting
siiver's battle. There's no money for
any Montana mine In ffty-nine-cent sill
yer: 1t can't be produced here for that
figure. But IL is the good fortune OF
the people OF Montana that they can
live we'll n do well and be well
Of their God-given u and be-
cause of the variety OF the states en-
dowment.
Thus the things present permit us TO
hall with satisfaction the new year. and
90 anticipate with the utmost confidence
the things to come. when silver gets its
dues. Silver viii get them. sure.

liz All Depends.

ct depends on how you take II.
Tina confederate-b badge incident has
started a world OF comment. spe
cially in the republican press. And, as
was the case with the invited guests of
that man in the Bible who proposed to
give a party. with one accord, these adj
ministration organs begin to make ex-
cuses. Somehow they seem to think
that in DOMINIC the confederate badge
the president did the thing he ought
not to have ~done-rather, they appear
to suspect that. in his recent swing
around the southern circle, Mr.. McKin-
ley overworked the reconciliation pol
icy, as far as the signs and symbols of
the late rebellion are concerned.
1t is pretty hard for such narrow or
gans as the New York Tribune, whose
editor is on the administration pay roll.
to say that the president did the right
thing at Macon. The Tribune felt
obliged to say something-all the news
papers were talking; so Ambassador
Reds editorial page went at 1t in this
gingerly way: "A great lea has been
said and written during the last six or
eight months about the completeness Of
the reconciliation between North and
South which followed the demand for
united service against a foreign foe,
and to which the president above all
men has contributed. The fact has
been recognized and proclaimed with
every appearance OF Joy and gratitude
in all parts of the United States. and
we see no reason to doubt h a the APP
parent satisfaction is real and deep and
practically universal. Now, IL hat is
the common feeling. we think 1t is fully
capable OF enduring the pressure Of the
Macon incident"
which the same Is faint praise. The
Tribune Is one Of many administration
organs which evidently wish the presi-
dent hadn't lone it.
AS we said at the outset. II depends
on how you AXE IL. More than that, II
depends on who does IL. Bryan a re-
Gently made a talk or two before south
ern audiences. Suppose he a APP
peared with a confederate badge pinned
to his lapel-just fancy IL. BY this
time the administrator organs would
have worn themselves out with their
loud denunciation of him as a dema-
gogue. President Mckinley is a dema-
gogue: but he isn't clever about II.

heat. each understanding the other.
each striving to help the other. as men
who are bearing q common burden and
looking Onward with a common hope.
1 know that this is the feeling Of the
people of the North. I think ! know
that IT is the feeling OF the people Of
the South"
We can believe that when Senator
Hoar uttered these words he had in
mind the bit OF history TO
which we have referred-so. doubt
less. had many of his hear
ers. Senator Hoar is not the first
man Of his line TO visit the city OF
Charleston. His distinguished father
was there before him. Samuel Hoar
who died forty odd al ago ranked
az an American statesman. He was a
Massachusetts, man and an abolitionist.
In 1874 he was tent by the legislature
OF his state to South Carolina to test
the constitutionality of certain laws OF
that state which authorized the impris-
onment OF free colored persons who en-
tered It. Mr.. Hoar's appearance in
Charleston created a great stir. The
result was that on December 8 he was
expelled from the city. and on the same
day the legislature of South Carolina
passed resolutions authorizing the OK
pulsion.
The presenc In Charleston OF this ex-
PEELED mans eminent son, for h
peaceful discussion OF pending national
questions, is worth more than the wear
ing OF a dozen confederate badges in
proof OF the fact that. happily. with sll
American citizens some things are not
as they used TO be.

the war OF 1912. Mr.. Morrill, opposed
the measure-it became known as a
free-trade tariff. but he aid not have
in this opposition the united support
OF the men. who. in later years. became
the sponsors for republican tariff legis-
iation. Charles Sumner and Henry
Wilson voted for II. Mr.. Seward
voted against Il. but his colleague.
Hamilton Fish. voted for IL. The two
washburns. Schuyler Colfax n
John ID. Thompson were among
the prominent members of the
house at that time. Nathaniel +. Banks
was speaker Of the house; 1t all seems
so long ago.
Later on. but back in a past whose
actors have disappeared. Mr.. Morrill,
was among the men in public life who
hoped that the slavery question could
be compromised and war averted. He
had a plan OF his own. suited to that
era Of temporizing. He proposed a
measure. in the session Of ~1s60-61, de-
tldTluB mat HfltUtT tOHkItrS HOi my
territorial government shall pass any
law establishing or prohibiting slavery
in any territory until It shall have suf-
ficient population to entitle II to adj
mission to the Union. Ii was. like scores
of the schemes OF that day, a weak sug-
gestion and. like the rest of the plans
for compromise, II went down.. Henry
Winter Davis. Thomas Corwin and
Powell and C%rittenden of Kentucky
were among those who figured In the
debates of that day.

as his associates. in either house. as

Lafayette Foster. Lyman Trumbull.
Henry b. Anthony. Charles Sumner,

fury in retirement. seems like a second
time on earth for that veteran.
Yet. to this country's older citizens
the events in which Mr.. Morrill, figures
seem as yesterday. Had Abraham
Lincoln lived until last week he would
have been Morrilrs senior in age by
only fourteen months. In truth, this
republic makes history so fast that each
passing of a New Year milestone serves

~ HERE is a bit of history tina, is
made OF passing interest by the
fact that Senator Hoar was
one Of the orators at the banquet OF
the New England society, given a few
nights ago in the city of Charleston.
On that occasion Senator Hoar's speech
dealt for the most part with the expan-
sion question. He is opposed 10 O
quest schemes. as everybody knows
who keeps In the current Of public az
fairs. He made a pat remark. in ad-
dressing his southern audience. when
ne said: W have not yet solved the
problem how men OF different races can
dwell together in the same land in sc-
cordance with our principle of repupli-
can rule INC republican liberty"
However. Mr.. Hoar's speech did not
ignore the domestic question which re-
ceived a new impetus as the result OF
President McKiniey's recent speeches.
At Charleston the senator said: The
best evidence OF our complete r%econcil-
1ation is hat there IL no subject that
we need to hurry by with our fingers
on our bps. The time has come when
Americans. North. South. East and
West. may discuss any question Of pub

The New Years Old Issue.

is possible that the new yea will
find the city of Butte dealing sue
c~essfully with the smoke question.
Just now public opinion is passing
through a period OF agitation, but there
Is nothing new about that-the like of
IL is periodical in Butte.
A quarrelsome man who was on
WINGED that he was about to die. sum-
moned h parson, expressed his regret
for all remissnesses in his conduct and
effusively forgave all his enemies. But
just as the minister was taking his
leave. the invalid. rallying what
strength he had left. shouted after him:
Remember. old man. IL / get well. his
forgiveness business doesn't count"
The reversed condition is true OF the
people Of Butte. They suffer and cough
and swear and threaten when the sui
phur fume wraps the city in its vile
folds: when the breeze scatters the
vapor. they forget their discomfort and
their threats-their resolve to be for
smoke ex~termination doesn't count
when the air is clear.
Just now, however. the feeling for a
smoke crusade is a little more aggres-
slve thar is usually the case. this con-
dition being due. in large measure, to
the vigorous steps lately taken by
Judge Lindsay. The public takes the
court seriously: the smelter mana
gers-some of them-seem to do the
same: they have a right to. The pres
ent hour finds the city authorities in
possession of a report just submitted by
a committee Of citizens: this week has
brought formally to the attention of the
district court an expression OF the
views OF the smelter managers. The
report submitted last Friday to the
mayor. refers TO a study OF the ques-
ton made a few years ago by Joseph
IL. Harper. an engineer well known
throughout Montana. 1t has seemed TO
the STANDARD well worth while to print
this Harper report. rs IL is the result
OF the most thorough study OF the
smoke problem that has ever been pre-
scented 10 h Butte authorities-it is
summarized on a Butte page Of this
mornings Standard.
Thus far there is nothing to go by
the public will await with deep
interest the outcome OF the pre-
ilminary steps lately AIKEN. Mean
while, every citizen who has the
right measurement of Butte's present
and Butte's assured future knows that
sooner or later this smoke problem will
be solved. The sooner the better.
Butte will be a bigger city than Denver
presently; this page has many readers
this new-year morning who will live
to see that prediction made good. The
smoke problem will be a solved prob
lem one OF these days. Whether It be
that the smelters will go to h noun
tain or whether II be that. by a fiue's
agency. the mountain goes TO the
shelters: whether II be through chemi-
cal process or by chimney construction
or what not-the smoke nuisance must
GO: Il is bound TO go. And II the body
of citizenship In Butte shows the same
determined front hat has always been
shown by the smelter managers. the
day when Butte will rise above this
veritable curse is not distant.
