Backward and UNPLEASANT.

Missoula, June 1.-THE month of May,
1899, will be remembered in Western
Montana as the most backward and
unpleasant May that the country has
endured in many years. 1t will furnish
the oldest inhabitant with new start
ing point for his calculations and rem
iniscences. 1t is unfortunate in some
respects, as it is always a disappoint-
ment to the oldq1timer to have any
modern weather. any colder or any
warmer than it was in the days of IS
and 80. But the ioldt timer is stumped
this time and will have to start a new
epoch.
Despite the cool weather and the wet
month. crops are much farther adj
vanced than it was thought they would
be. The hay and grain outlook was
never better than it is at this time, and
while there will not be a very large
fruit crop, the yield will be in excess
of the estimates made earlier in the
wear.

Trusts As An Issue.

~ HERE is no doubt that the dem
ocratic platform Of 1900 will
contain a strong declaration
against trusts. 1t is probable that the
republican platform will contain one
quite as strong. This arrangement will
take the question out of the field as an
tissue; there can be no distinct issue
unless there be a clear-cut affirmation
on one side and a denial on the other
We may be sure that the republican
leaders will not hazard their chances
by dealing with the matter in such a
way as to present a clear and tangible
issue.
e Aside from the platform difficulties in
the problem. there is another thing
that will tend. in a measure, to keep
silver to the front as an issue. That
IS the unwillingness of the vast army
of monetary reformers to have the cur
rency question sidetracked This is
clearly shown by the dispatches from
Louisville, where an important bimetal-
lie convention is now being held. Judge
TarVin, the president, in his speech,
declared with emphasis that the trust
question would not be permitted to
supplant the issue of bimetallism. The
storm of applause from the thousands

What the Records Show.

~HosE of the newspapers that re-
peat the statement that Speak
er Reed ranks next to Henry
Clay in point of length of service in
the speakership, are hitting uncommon
ly wide Of the mark. This yarn has
worked its way into the photographic.
or personal, or famous-people columns
in dozens Of newspapers. 1t is alto
gether in error.
Henry Clay had the honor of being
elected six times to the Office of speak
er of the national house of representa-
tives. Next in order came Andrew
Stevenson, of Virginia, who was elect
ed four times. ,Clay's, speakership ca
reer began with the Twelfth congress-
Reelected to the Office of speaker in
the next congress, he resigned, in Or
der to serve on the Client peace COM
mission. Later on, as speaker of the
Sixteenth congress, Clay again resign
ed. Stevenson resigned during his
fourth term in the speakership, and he
afterWard served as minister to Eng
land. Mr.. Reed served three terms in
the office of speaker; this is also the
record for Macon, Colfax, Blaine and
Carlisle. -
Everybody knows how zealously the
presidential bees haves buzzed around
the speakers desk since Mr.. Reed was
it's occupant; many people there are
who suspect that his recent movements
are in the evolution of programme
that is designed to land Mr.. Reed in
the white house. 1t may be that the
retired speakers lines have been laid
that way. In any event. if the prece-
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-06-02

of delegates which greeted the state
ment proves conclusively that it was
not an idle one.
During the last campaign the great
question of the money standard re-
ceived careful consideration at the
hands of millions of patriotic, intelligent
people. They understand its import
ance and it's significance now far better
than they did then. They know that
the free coinage of silver is conserva-
tism itself compared with many propo-
sitions of reform" that are now being
made. They know that it is far more i'm
portant than the others, because money
measureth all things. 1t is one side of
practically every business transaction.
Upon its proper adjustment depends
the wage rate, the price of every mar
ketable product and consequently the
prosperity of the entire country.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-06-02
scheming With the Civil Service.

~ PINIoNs differ radically as to
the merits of the civil service or
so-called merit system now in
force with reference to federal appoint
ments Undoubtedly merit should be
considered in the making of such ap
pointments, but it should be a line of
merit bearing directly upon the duties
to be performed. Many adverse criti-
cisms have been passed upon the meth
DDS of examination and some of them
appear to be we'll founded.
But there can be no two opinions as
to the presidents recent order removing
about four thousand places from the
operation of the rule. Mr.. Mckinley
has had the matter under consideration
ever since his inaugura ton. The poll
ticians have demanded it, while the
strong civil service champions have OPP
posed. The former have triumphed, as
they always WILL in the end, with Mr..
Mckinley. He has yielded to them now,
just at a time when he thinks that
course will help him most in the next
campaign. 1t will enable his friends to
put 1000 active workers in the field, and
that number of shifty schemers might
very easily change the result either in
convention or at the general election.
The president is a smooth one, but he
is also very sly and he never loses sight
of the interests of William. He has al
ways posed as a civil service reformer,
but his own nomination and reelection
are of more importance to him than a
steadfast adhesion to any rule of public
policy, however good it may be.
