their part. On the contrary, they are
asking for space in increasing numbers
every day. Yesterday the commission
received more applications for space
than on any day in the last three weeks.
Not one exhibitor has wished to with
draw, and the only trouble we have
with them is on account of the insult
ficiency of space allotted them. And at
Chicago, the other office of this COM
mission, the same state of things exists.
In spite of the big mass meeting that
has been called to protest against the
Dreyfus affair. the arrangements for
exhibits from there go steadily and
smoothly on" This state of mind in
the exhibitors is natural and reason
able. They realize the commercial value
to themselves of displaying their goods
at the exposition. They are prepared
to lay out money in such display, and
are not likely to allow any form o. San
timentality to interfere with their BUSH
ness plans.

Nth seriousness that is the
M richest kind of unconscious
humor we are now Informed
that it is the republican party that is
trying to keep the silver issue alive,
despite the efforts of the democracy
to relegate it to the rear.
This information comes from alleged
silver republican sources, and is sus-
tanned by the high authority of the
Chicago Chronicle. The value Of that
paper as an authority upon the silver
issue will be fully appreciated when it
is known that it bolted Bryan and the
Chicago platform in 1896, gave its
mighty support to Palmer and Buck
ner ostensibly, but to Mckinley in
fact, and now has about as much in
fluence in shaping the monetary pol
icy Of the democracy as Mr., Mckinley
has thus far had in reforming the
morals of the sultan of Sulu.
We were just upon the point of Civ
ing to the statement a denial couched
in the most positive language we could
command, when thought struck us,
anu SldSeu our peH Inc re.
publican party has, in a sense. done
something to keep the silver issue alive.
The very lengths to which it has gone
in its advocacy of the gold standard
and the coarse, scurrilous abuse which
it has heaped upon the heads of the
champions of the silver cause, have
had some effect in arousing both the
fears and the indignation of true silver
men; and in this way it has contrib
uted a mite toward the maintenance
of the silver sentiment.
When men, who. in good conscience,
advocate the restoration of the money
of the constitution, and for doing so
are denounced as thieves and swind-
lers, scoundres and blackguards, idiots,
lunatics and anarchists, very naturally
they don't like it. Ii arouses their
combative instincts and makes them
fight the harder. This, however, is
merely a general rule. There are ex-
ceptions to it. and we find few here
in Montana.
When silver republican who, three
years ago. left his party because of its
opposition Ito the silver cause, and is
| now exerting his utmost ingenuity in
finding excuses for getting back into
that party. he either admits the jus
tice of the pet names so lavishly
bestowed upon him, or he presents a
picture of meekness and humility that
would cause Dickens, were he alive,
to put a few extra touches upon the
characteIsof Uriah Heap.

STUCK ON SPOKANE.
City Attorney Boarman Praises the City
by the Falls.


Suffering from a severe attack of Spo-
kane fever. which is even more deadly
than Klondike fever City Attorney j. r.
Boarman returned several days ago from
Spokane. Since then he has been giving
impromptu lectures on ali possible occa-
sions on the future greatness of the Wash
ington city by the falls.
"HaVe you seen what Jim Hill has been
saying over there" he asked yesterday.
The Great Northern is going to put in
vast improvements there and Hill is urg-
ing the business men of the city to build
a custom smelter in Spokane. The oppor-
tunity there presented, as he points out,
is magnificent one. With the smelter es-
tablished there Spokane will become a
second Denver in three years and eventu-
ally will outstrip Denver
During my stay there | was meeting
Montana people all the time: In Spokane
there are at least 800 mechanics who for
mery lived in Anaconda or Butte In
addition there are many Montana people
in other walks of life. All appear to be
prosperous.
Despite all we have heard people in
this state have still very little idea of the
prosperity of that vigorous city. 1t has
been forging ahead steadily for several
years and now the pace forward has
been accelerated. The mining regions all
about Spokane are of a permanent and
wealth into the city. While the immense
agricultural region tributary to Spokane
is building up wonderfully.
THE Great Northern railway has been
at work quietly securing right of way for
a new route through the city and for i'm
mense yards and depots. The tracks will
skirt the falls, tapping the flour mills and
other manufacturing plants. President
Hill has secured all he wants now and
announced the other day the commence
ment of work. Yes. I've got the Spokane
fever, and got it bad"

Bryan and Cochran.

Il was lOItseeH by almost every
body, the trust conference at
Chicago adjourned with nothing
accomplished in the way of practical re-
suits. 1t was simply a season of ora
tory and there were as many different
views is there were orators No reso-
buttons We're adopted, no definite plan
was agreed upon, so far as appears no
polltical combinations were made re-
specting it, and the subject was left
literally in the air.
The two best known men present
were Bryan and Bourke Cochran, and
ats most marked feature was the in
tense desire shown by the New Yorker
to speak from the same platform with
the Nebraskan and upon the same day.
This was the more significant as it
was accompanied by a strong dis
claimer on the part of Cochran of any
I wish to have the discussion take the
form of a joint debate Bryans un-
Willingness to speak in anything like
close connection with Cochran was also
an interesting and perhaps significant
episode
The reason for Mr. Cockran's urgency
In the matter is not apparent from any
thing that was contained in his speech,
for he and Bryan We're, professedly 1T
least upon the same side, the only diff
ference being in degree. MIR. Bryan as
sumed that all trusts were wrong and
should be annihlated, while Mr.. Cock
ran agreed that they should be de-
Stp
but plainly intimated a belief that
some of them might not be evils.
When closely analysed, his speech
appears to have been intended to
swing the democratic party back to the
tariff as an issue. for he indicated his
belief in unmistakable terms that the
tariff was the father of the only trusts
that were harmful. Upon this point he
and Bryan were clearly out of accord.
Cockran's test is: Does the monopoly
result from the tariff? If so it is an
evil; otherwise it is benefit. This con-
firms the view held by many, that while
Cochran is a man of some strength in
certain ways he is not logician even
above mediocrity. Manifestly whether
d lHillS lis an evil must De uetefTnlneQ Dy
its results and not by its origin.
On the other hand, the weakness of
MIR. Bryan's contention lies in his fail
ure to make any discrimination what
ever. He draws the line nowhere pe-
tween the combinations of capital that
are to be destroyed as monopolies, and
those which are to tolerated and en-
couraged. This is the most difficult
point involved in the trust problem,
and Mr.. Bryan's speech shows plainly
that he has encountered it.
But after all said and done it is not
easy to see why Cochran was so keenly
anxious to get into the discussion in
company with Mr.. Bryan. As is we'll
known, all of Mr.. Cockran's influence
was thrown to Mckinley in 1896 in
which campaign he was exceedingly
bitter in his denunciations of the demo-
cratic platform and leader. Perhaps
he was trying to open up a way for
his return to the democratic fold, or
possibly it was merely an anxiety on
his part to get into the Bryan class "a;
an orator.

THE TRUST PROBLEM.
Uniform Laws to BE Enacted in Many
States.

Little Rock Ark Sept. lit is said
one of the probable results of the anti
trust conference of governors and attor-
neys general in ST. Louis will be the con-
vening of the several state legislatures in
special session for the purpose of dealing
with the trust problem. The convention,
it Is said. will outline legislation that shall
be found desirable and the governors in
harmony with the movement will imme-
diately after the adjournment of the con-
vention summon their state legislatures
together to enact uniform laws in the diff
ferent states following the lines laid
down by the conference.
1t is almost certain that should the St.
Louis convention recommend this line of
action Governor Jones will convene the
Arkansas legislature some time within
the next go DAYS.

~HE project entertained by some
of the South American nations

~~HE project entertained by some
of the South American nations
to combine against the United
States is said to have been traced to a
nonsensical story that the United
States was engaged in an attempt to
purchase Bolivia territory on the upper
Amazon. 1t appears according to a
Boston paper that when the United
States ship Wilmington went up the
Amazon, reconnaissance of the coun-
try on the upper river was made by a
couple of naval officers, rather as
dry season jaunt, than for any purpose
the government might have in view
AS a report on the rubber country was
made by the accommodating party to the
United States rubber companies, which
have become greatly interested in the
upper Amazon this is undoubtedly the
source of the rumor that the United
States is to absorb Bolivia So that
the South American scare may be
traced to rubber and a couple of rub
bernecks 1t has been suggested that
foreign influences are at work in South
America fostering distrust of the United
States.
