Attorney John B. Welcome has fled
his answer in the supreme court to the
charge preferred by Whiteside that he
should be dlsbarred from practice by
reason of cor1uptly influencing men,
bers of the last Legislature to vote for
W. A. Clark for United States senator.
Welcome says he didn't. In fact be
denies in toto about every allegation
made, except that there was a session
Of the Legislature in Montana and that
Mr.. Clark was elected senator. But
this does not settle the matter, by any
means. By the time the supreme
court gets through with the case. the
people of Montana, it is hoped and be-
lieved, will know a good deal more
about the inner workings of the sena.
torial fight last winter than they do al
present. At any rate. it is a good bet,
at long odds, that Whiteside knows
more about that $50, 900 than he hai
yet told, and he may yet be compelled
to divulge it.

THE CROW TREATY.

- 80 r #"T#A |E##
local news that The Gazette gives its
readers today about the treaty just
made with the Grow Indians for a ces.
sion Of a portion of their reservation.
It means the addition to Yellowstone
county of several hundred thousand
acres Of as fine agricultural land as
there ia in the United States, includ-
ing the beautiful bottom lands Of the
valleys of the Yellowstone and Big
Horn rivers, all of which will be occu.
pied by thrifty settlers in a few years.
By legislative enactment, all that por-
ton of the Grow reservation lying west
of the Big Horn river, when thrown
open for settlement, belongs to this
county, while Custer county gets the
land to the east of that stream. Thus
both counties will be benefited by the
treaty, while the occupation by settlers
Of the fertile lands that have heretofore
been held and unutilized by the In
dians, will give a great impetus to
Billings. This city will be the natural
trading and supply point for the newly
acquired territory, will furnish a mar.
ket for it's products and reap all the
benefits consequent upon the develop
ment Of this large tract Of agricultural
land.
The people of Billings, therefore,
should now urge upon the Montana
representatives at Washington the inn
portance of having the treaty at once
ratified by congress, which must be
done before the land can be segregated.
1t IL a good treaty, the Indians
thoroughly understand and are perfect
~ satisfied with it's provisions, and
there is no reason why the land should
not be thrown open for settlement next
twill be four years next Nov
ember since this newspaper first started
the agitation for the segregation from
the reservation of the land now covered
by the treaty. The agitation resulted
in the appointment Of the commission
which has just made the treaty under
discussion and, while it seems a long
time to have waited for the consum-
nation Of the object sought, it must be
remembered that the commission has
had several other Indian tribes to deal
with for the cession of lands, which has
been successfully accomplished, and
the time Of the commission has no
doubt been fully occupied.
But the people Of Billings now feel
that they have waited long enough
and will not brook with patience any
unnecessarily delay in the ratification
of the treaty BY congress. The resi-
dents of Miles City and Custer county
no doubt feel the same way, and the
people Of this city and county should
join forces with them in urging prompt
action. Senator Garter, perhaps, can
do more than any other individual to-
ward the accomplishment of this end,
and his aid and active cooperation for
the ratification Of the treaty should at
once be enlisted.

THE SHAME OF 1T,

General Otis cabled the adjutant
general at Washington last Tuesday
the following message from Manila:
Captured letters, high insurgent au.
thority, %exhorting inhabitants to hold
out a little longer; that European re-
cognition will be granted by Aug. 81.
and that the present United States adj
ministration will be overthrown.
That is the method that Aguinaldo is
pursuing, perhaps. to induce the poor,
deluded insurgents to continue their
hopeless fight a little longer. OF
course. no u will give credence to the
report that any European nation is go.
ing to interfere at Manila; that is pre-
poste1ous; the European powers fully
realize that the United States will
brook 10 interference, and that she is
fully capable Of preventing any by
armed force if necessary. The Spanish
wal proved that. But still Aguinaldo
may be able to make his followers be-
lieve such buncombe and thus prolong
the war. He may also make them be-
lieve, and perhaps may himself think,
that the present administration il this
country will be overthrown; there is
justification in the Philippines for his
belief in the utterances of the copper
head press OF the United States, all of
which reach the islands and inspire the
rebels to keep up the unequal struggle.
The ignorant insurgents are not to
blame. The shame of this con-
dition Of affairs lies in the fact that
such aid and encouragement should be
given the rebels from this country.
No other government in the world
would permit it. 1t is seditiOus;
reasonable, in fact, and should have
been suppressed long ago. The free
dom OF the press is being abused when
it is invoked to encourage rebellion
against the government and, while
The Gazette is rs jealous of the rights

journals that are largely responsible

A NORTH PACIFIC CABLE.

A cable between the United States
and our most eastern possessions is al
most imperative. but the cost is very
great. and the government is reluctant
to burden the treasury with an enter
prise which win cost about eight million
dollars at least. The traffic win not be
large enough to pay the fixed charges
from the outlay. and for a long time
the government. would be the principal
customer. Congressman Corliss, Of
Michigan, has introduced . bill provid-
ing for the laying Of q cable to Hawaii.
the Philippines. Japan and China at q
limit OF cost Of -, o0o,0 900. Of which $780,
900 is to be Immediately available.
President Mckinley recommended
such line in his message, but his point
was the need Of cable communication
with Manila, and not the route by which
1t was to be conveyed. For some years
1t win probably be sufficient to have
cable by way Of the Aleutian islands 60
Japan, thence to China, and so to the
Philippines. This would not cost more
than four million dollars and, what is
of no less consequence, the line would
be built without any government sub
SHY upon a guarantee that no subsidy
would be granted to any other cable
line for a specified number Of years.
There is no doubt that 1t would be
better for this country to have entire
control Of a cable. especially In the
event Of war; but war between this
country and any other nation is ex-
ceedingIy improbable, and there would
be no interference by any belligerent
power with our means of communica-
ton, although II China and Japan were
involved the line would be closed as to
that one Of them which was In subjec-
ton to an armed force.
On behalf of the northern route to be
taken by private enterprise. it may be
said that it would be five thousand
miles shorter than by way of San Fran
cisco and Hawaii. the cost of MAIN
tenance would be very considerably less
and the danger of interruption reduced
to inconsiderable proportions. By max
ing the cable touch near Siberia, Japan
and China an enormous addition would
be made to the available business.
When the capacity of that line should
be reached it would probably be time
enough to go to the expense of direct
line across the Pacific.

no doubt our delegation will be active IN
securing such appropriations for different
parts of the state as their Importance
merits. A bill appropriating sso0,o0o for
public building at Seattle was passed by the
last congress- but the authorities soon
found that that sum would be insufficient
and suggested that an additional amount be
asked for. The necessity for public build
ings In the larger cities Is greater than IN
the smaller places. and II Is natural that
they should be constructed first where the
greatest necessity exists. Senator Foster
has introduced bill In the senate appro-

that congress would soon meet "and be-

prices" The Galveston News copied that

dead, as some of the newspapers in that
state have asserted. The News makes
somewhat more reasonable prediction,

idea OF the chief motive of leach mem

Congress will meet and it will pass
laws which the members hope will send

Ainslee's for December.

The Typographical situation to which
Kentucky and Tennessee We're relegated
I'm the first half of the century Is the
situation that still encircles and en-
thrones them. Being neither hot nor
cold Of temperature, they became the
scenes Of impact between the North and
the South, the battle Grounds of the civil
war. They still nurture the abnormal to
some extent In the feuds between the
Bakers and the Towards. the Griffins
and the Phillpots, because they are not
inviting to the ironmakers. the wood
workers and the general factors of the
North. nor entirely habitable to the peo-
pie who lave in the suns of the South.
Their characteristics extend over into
Arkansas. which. too, Is rugged, and has
been more rugged in some of its people.
Yet Kentucky makes the gallants of
American history, because 1t is on the
border; and Tennessee affords rural
homes, which have been exemplars for
the romancer and passions for the drama
tist. while it installs In the gubernatorial
chair men who write verse for their own
inaugural odes. Tennessee lies pic
turesauely between the moonshner and
the sugar cane.
