The Muscular souvenir Of the Nation

that will excite Tie admiration and pride
of the entire state. 1t is a scenic and
historical review of Missoula and RAJ

work of art. In subject matter it is a
publication of great interest and value to
the sections covered and to the state.
while in point of illustrations it is the
finest work of it's kin ever issued by

CALLAHAN HEARD FROM.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. Is, 1899.
To the Inter Mountain:
There recently appeared in the Daily
Inter Mountain a notice of the fact that
I intended going to the Philippine islands,
in the capacity of a lieutenant in the
United States army. / desire to say in
that relation thai Notwithstanding a re-
port to the contrary, that l fully intend
to go to the Orient as a commissioned Of
ficer in the United State volunteer army
| that l have been offered a commission as
| a lieutenant therein, and am assured by
an influential army officer that in a very
| short time / will receive a commission as
! captain before leaving on the transport.
I am now a free moral agent, having
the right to do and go where / please; I
am under no moral or legal obligation to
a single mortal, except my boy-he Is at
the present time well and happy, and will
never again know what it is to be neglect
ed, and cared for by kind %neighbors.
I go to the Philippines. at this time in
the same spirit that prompted me in the
summer of 9S-that the flag Of Washing
ton, at Yorktown; Jackson's, at New Or
leans, and Grants at A~ppomattox, may
be respected at home and abroad, and
that it stands for the highest type of civ
ilization known to mankind. The war in
the Philippines will be of short dura-
ton. and the immediate future will show
that it's results will be of the hignes
material benefit for the whole nation, es-
p~ecially the western. portion of it.

NO SECRET ALLIANCE.

The democratic party in Ohio is reduc-
ed to a state of desperation when it seeks
to make political capital out of the lying
statement that this country has entered
into a secret alliance with England.
The object Of such campaigning is to
arouse prejudice against the administra-
ton, and by so doing secure votes which
McLean's Doodle cannot reach. Hon.
John Hay, Secretary of State, has
promptly nailed the lie in a letter to
Chairman Dick, of the republican ex-
ecutive committee, from which the fol-
lowing excerpt is to the point:
There is no alliance with England, nor
with any other power under heaven ex-
cept those known n published to the
world, the treaties of ordinary interna-
tional friendship for purposes of business
and commerce.. No treaty other than
these exists; none has been suggested on
either side; none is in contemplation. 1t
has never entered into the mind of the
president nor of any member ofgthe gov
eminent to forsake. under any induce
ment, the wise. precept and example of
the fathers. which forbade entangling al
l~liances with European powers.

To the Inter Mountain.
democratic persuasion to rail at the situ-
alton in the Philippines, but not one of
them has yet suggested how the federal
government could with honor surrender
American sovereignty there, nor proved
that such surrender has been authorized
by the American people. Therefore, l
ask the Anaconda Standard and Butte
Miner in all cando and fairness:
/. Should the president withdraw the
American troops from the Philippines?
2. By what authority would he be jus
titled in such an act? Il
3. How would civilized nations regard
such abandonment of conquered and
ceded territory?
4. What would become of the islands
and foreign property, and foreigners
themselves?
Neither the Miner nor Standard will
attempt a square answer to the above
questions. They rail at the president for
not having a policy and would rail at
him if he had one. He is to be damned
if he does and damned if he doesn't. The
democratic organs lay back their ears
and kick like the quadruped that typifies
the democratic party. They can object
to what others do, but they can do moth
ing themselves. They dare not offer a
single specific suggestion, nor attempt
to outline a practicable policy.
On the subject Of trusts the democrats
are equally at a loss for a scheme Of
reform that will commend itself to the
intelligence Of the people. They denounce
trusts, but they can not tell how to pre-
vent, regulate, or suppress them. The
copper trust they leave alone altogether
while all other trusts they denounce with
out pointing out the way of reform. Stu
dents Of history know that the trust ISSUE
is not political, that trusts are not the
result of a protective tariff, and that ]
legislation is needed to regulate them !

the democratic party. The democratic
party is a bloviating fraud 1t has aban'
doned the silver issue except in the silver
producing states. 1t is b~ackcapping the
national government abroad in the effor
to enforce respect for the Stars an
Stripes. 1t is shedding crocodile tear
over the oppression of trusts and has no
advanced a single idea in the direction Q
regulating them.
Is it any wonder the progressive youn'

ocratic p~retensions?

LOVE AND LIFE,

Should life be all a garland
OF sweet and thornless flowers,
Grown in a fairly farmland
OF unbeclouded hours?
All! no: let thorns together
With fragrant flowers entwine;
That SO I prove thee whether
We share the sweets together,
And all the thorns be mine. q
Should life be all an ocean =,
OF rapture-rippled tides,
Wherein in may motion
The south wind softly glides?
All! no; let storms together
With rosy Gains combine;
That so in wild-wind weather
AS we sail On together,
My heart may shelter thine.
Should life be all a measure
OF golden-girdled sound,
Wherein no briefest leisure
For minor tones is found?
All! no: let minor meanings
Amid it's music be,
That SO Loves intervenings
May store all sadder gleanings,
And share the sweets with thee.

RRyAN'S POLcH.

The Inter Mountain regrets to see a
tendency on the part of the democratic
newspapers of Montana. especially since
the late meeting of the state press asso-
citation, to drop the trust question. Col
onel Bryan is very DESTROYS that the enor-
nifty of the trusts be held up for the
public to gaze on. and it is to be feared
that his wishes in this matter are being
overlooked by the democratic organs
in this section.
In the opinion of the colonel" there
should be a constitutional amendment
that will, in the expressive vernacular
of our times, clean up the platter or,
to state the proposition in more 'ehaste
language, wipe the trusts off the face OF
the earth! In his Chicago speech. Cot+
onel Bryan made it clear that the only
way to deal with this great evil is to
adopt an amendment to the constitution
of the United States that will pull all
the trusts up by the roots, and enable
the country to thereby take Il step III
! the direction of i~ndividualism! j" -
SO far, the democratic press of Mon
tana have failed to fall into line With
the c~olonel's suggestions. They seem
willing to attack trusts theoretically, but
refuse to commit themselves to the policy
of destroying all the trusts. Is it pos
sible they are trying to copper the reform
efforts of Colonel Bryan?

COURTS.

Philadelphia North American: Mill
tary courts are a curse" said a Washing
ton lawyer, who served on many courts
martial during the civil war. People ac-
cept their findings with the same conf
dence they show in a decision of the civil
courts. Yet the members are not often
trained in the law and experienced in the
weighing of testimony. Recall the case
of Fitz John Porter. The verdict of the
court was unanimous, and l happen to
know that the members favored the death
penalty, but were dissuaded by h con-
siderations of policy only. Yet years af-
ter, regardless of the Confederate evil
dence, General Grant n others con-
cluded he was innocent. French military
Jurisprudence Is peculiar and in harmony
with the injustice and tyranny of the
whole military service. Strange az the
methods are, it was made very clear that
there was no positive evidence against
Dreyfus. Nobody doubts hat conviction
was a foregone conclusion from the day
the court was organized. The world
knows why"

The democratic New York World is
not hopeful of party success next year.
It says: I'm 1896 the democratic party
was beaten 6O3, 514 on the popular vote,
and IS in the electoral college. Since
then it has lost four states with 81 cleo
toral votes, and has gained only Ken
~tucky-which is likely to be lost again
this year. It has lost in the general
result every yea since 1896. In 1896
the democrats had II senators In con-
gress from the northern states. Now
they have only two, and n of these is
| simply a silver plutOcrat."

Of me

In a recent interview in the Billings
knowledges that he is in the field for a
denomination and expects to get it. He
expresses the opinion that his chief COM
petitor for the nomination will be State
Senator Hoffman, Of Bozemar. With
that delicate sense of discrimination,
which must impress other democratic
candidates with his great political as

While he names Colonel Sanders as his

interesting contribution to the current
literature Of the day. Faith in his own
public sentiment demands it, but is evil
IDENTIFY the outgrowth OF an understand
ing with the anti-Clark wing of the DEM
ocracy, whose interests he seems most
willing to serve. This view of the stu
alton is strengthened by the naming of
State Senator Hoffman as his chief COM
petitor, it being we'll known hat the lat
ter is one of the leading men in the Clark
wing of the democratic party. The en-
tire weight of Governor Smiths influence
was thrown against the senatorial ambi-
lions of Mr.. Clark. Next to the Ana
conda Standard, that gentleman had no
foe more restless, no enemy more vigil
lent, Aside from all other. considera-
lions, his course throughout the senator
ial fight last winter endears him to the
anti-Clark wing, it's affection for him
being shown in many ways. In Its
determination to prevent the nomina-
ton of a Clark democrat, Smith may be
decided upon to defeat the ambitions OF
Senator Hoffman.
In naming Ex-Governor Toole as the
democratic choice for United States sen.
ator, the purpose of Governor Smith II

to the idea of sending Senator Clark

. But to ave Smith, Toole must be tenn
porarily disposed of-and his excellenc,

The governors loyalty to Helena, il
making out his political roster, is beyond
criticism. Not satisfied with having tina

WERE HIGH GUNS"
OPENING OF THE CALIFORNIA
WING CLUB SHOOT.
The Contest for Golden Trophies
Will Be Decided on
the First Sunday in
September.

Members of the California Wing Shoot
ing Club swung into line at the Olympic
Gun Club grounds yesterday and opened
the battle for honor, gold and golden
trophies. The cracks of this crack club
loaded their weapons, donned ~un shades
for the interesting contest and the game
opened.
Jack Tanning, who has made Known to
all the sporting world the existence of the
Olympic Gun Club, was first to face the
traps The trap lifted and this expert
had slain the first bird of the contest.
Tanning shot at thirty-one yards, a
handicap of three yards over him being
enjoyed by his opponents, but he would
not have 1t otherwise. In Eastern and
international contests Tanning takes the
thirty -one-yard mark, and much shooting
at a lesser distance might result in con-
fusing his calculations. So he stayed at
the farther mark. G. A. Haight, at
twenty-eight yards, as were all other con-
testants. was second at the traps From
Haight down the lineup stood: L. d.
Owens, c. f. Grant, f. Vernon, II. Yer
non, A. Rose A. M. Shields j. j. Sweeney,
C. C. Nauman, w. H. Williamson, II. F..
Wagner, I. r. D. Grub, ]. Kullman and
Otto Feudner.
In this aggregation of experts Tanning
fell behind but his records, established
in past matches, was sufficient to call

of u birds got 10, using a second on 8
occasions Hafght winged 9, Owens 10.
