ITS EYES ED.


The esteemed Butte 1ntel Mountain
il working overtime these days to prove
that the silver republicans are justified
in deserving the Bryanites because Of
demoeracy's treaohery to silver. And
the Inter Mountain ia proving its case.
Hardly u day passes that some e1st'
while silver leader does not declare
that free coinage will not be the para
mount issue next year, while others are
drawing away from Bryan and vainly
looking for a new Moses to lead the
democracy out Of the doom M certain
defeat that now stares 1t in the face.
Even the Anaconda Standard Is Oh
record against the divine l6 to
ratio, and Senator W. A. Clarke's recent
uttetance-that Bryan's reconciliation
is not sure aud that 1t Is not certain
that silver will be the leading issue
next year-are in support of the Inter
Mountains proposition.
But our Butte contemporary should
have come to its senses before. 1t had
fair warning from The Gazette, and
scores of other republican papers, that
the democrats were only using the sill.
YER republicans as tools; the alleged
devotion Of the democrats to the cause
of free coinage was only a bait with
which to catch votes. 1t was N effect.

trial and financial depression, when
tens Of thousands Of people, without
even a cursory knowledge of the none.
tary question. were willing to accept
the democratic claim that free coinage
would cure the existing evils. and vote
accordingly. But 1t Is different now
Prosperity has returned to the whole
country without free coinage; the
amount Of money IN circulation since
Bryan's nomination in '88 has increased
nearly half a billion dollars; the people
are employed at good wages, The
shrewd democrats take these changed
conditions into consideration, hence
they are unwilling to make another
national campaign on an issue which
was only strong by reason ot the panic
and poverty that then ~pervaded the
country.
And the silver republicans, who were
misled In '86 by these false democratic
arguments, are beginning to realize
that they have been bunooed, Most OF
them In Montana realized 1T last year
and returned to the republican party,
which tho Inter Mountain should have
done, but its repentance Ia better late

IT is time the proper authorities OF
this city took steps to make known the
insistence of our people that there
must be no more disorder caused by
drunken soldiers. The escapades of
some of the soldiers who have been
stationed at Fort Bliss since the regu-
lar infantry were taken away for war
duty have been not only ~disgraceful in
the extreme to the uniform they wear,
but highly detrimental to the peace
and welfare of Ell Paso. Since the
negro cavalry troop came, one week
ago, there have been two occasions of
outrage. It is too much to ask the
peace officers of Ell Paso to TAX care of
all the habitual offenders who live at
the post. If this thing keeps up those
who are responsible for the disorder
must take the consequences, and from
what we have heard among citizens
the con sequences will be serious if the
negroes attempt any more such plays
as they made the other night. It is
unnecessary to state that our people
have no objection to the stationing of
OOPo hOAO3 OO AOhS
have themselves. But if they will
violate the avs they must be severely
dealt with. We are ever for legal q
orderly ways of reaching and righting
wrongs. There must be no defying of
the law by our own citizens in order to
stop infringement in anothersquarter.
But Ell Paso calls upon the officers in
command at Fort Bliss to see that this
abuse is stopped and stopped at once.
There a be no legitimate excuse for
soldiers coming to town in q carryall
and going back drunk long after mid
night. It should be understood that
men likely to create disorder should be
barred entirely from the privileges of
visiting town, and that all others
should be held to the ssrictest account
for their conduct while here.

Tuesday morning dawned clear and
cool with q gentle breeze blowing
from the north insuring a pleasant
day for the Phillips County Soldiers
and Sailors Reunion which began
four days session at Agra. The
rows of white tents and large assem-
bly, tent greeted the early visitors and
marked the location of the grounds.
Soon, however, the noise of driving
stakes and mailing boards attested
the erection of the ''merry-go-round,"
dancing pavilion, various show tents,
numerous stands and almost number
less games of all descriptions, from
bowling alleys to shooting galleries
By noon the varied interests were all
ready for business and at 3 o'clock
the program began
The Agra band which welcomed
the visitors on every train, opened
the exercises with an excellent selec-
ton after which President Matteson
IN few we'll chosen words announced
the purpose of the meeting and called

by the secretary, G. W. Hays.
Rev. J. NJ Gibson being present

Uncle Billy William was called out

evening.
