A clever scheme worked by the Dem.
ocratic bosses is that adopted in adver-
tlsing the new book, Republic or En-.
pire." The manipulators are not over
looking any bets, but their work is
pretty coarse to spring on western peo-
pie. In the mining sections, where or
ganized labor predominates, the pic
lures of Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, appear side by side in the adver-
tisement. In other sections the likeness
of Andrew Carnegie takes the place of
that of Mr.. Gompers, and in this man.
ner all sections of the country are
worked. No one doubts but that all
Democratic issues apply to certain local
tiles only, but the bosses should not at
tempt to fool the western people. Such
schemes may do in the east, where most
people only read one paper. but out west

states " the public keeps pretty we'll in

THE HONDRED DEAD.

Memorial day was observed this year
throughout the country with the usual
solemn and impressive ceremonies. and
the graves of those who fought and died
that their country might live and pros
per were bedecked with flowers; tender
recollections were awakened, and VIVID
scenes enacted nearly half century ago
were recalled by those whose years per-
mitted. This year, more than all others
that have past, the conditions have been
changed with relation to the spirit of
the observation of the day. The coun-
try today is unit; it knows no north
commonwealth second to none on earth
IN wealth, intelligence. patriotism, prog
ress and prosperity. That was the feel
ing and spirit with which Memorial day
was observed this year, more than all
others gone by.
Besides, there were other conditions
that made the day more notable than
usual throughout the land. The coun-
try had passed through war with
power in the old world, bringing it to
successful termination; a power which
at one time or another controlled almost
the entire western hemisphere even
claiming the very spot upon which Phil
ipsburg stands today. The result of
this war was the freeing of the strug-
CLING Cubans from tyrrany and oppres-
sion and the acquisition Of much island
territory by the United States. Some
new graves were marked for honor and
decoration, and the country showed its
appreciation Of the services rendered by
those who had sacrificed their lives that
the honor of America might not be i'm
paired nor the progress of civilization

N-DEl4E FUTURE.

Although much has been done in the
way Of advertising the untold mineral
wealth OF Montana throughout the east,
and eastern people are familiar with the
great mining industry Of our state, com
paratiyely little is known Of its practi.
caIly Unlimited agricultural resources,
and the product of cur farms is just
commencing to attract attention in the
eastern markets The superiority of
Montana barley has been discovered by
the large brewing companies, and malt
made from the barley grown IN this
state demands ii higher price than any
other in the market. Montana barley
has been found to excel the product of
California and of foreign countries as

thrifty farmers to till the soil now lay
ing dormant in order that the east may
be supplied with the superior products
of our farms. The construction Of irri-
cation canals such as are now in prog
ress in eastern Montana is a step in the
right direction. Thousands of acres of
arid land which will produce great crops
of gram with proper irrigation will be
reclaimed and prosperous farmers will
dwell upon the land which is now
classed as grazing land. More such
canals should be constructed; reservoirs
should be built, to the end that as
much of the arid land of the state as is
possible may be converted into farms
and thus prove an lnducement for
thrifty farmers TO locate IN Montana
and establish homes here. The con-

THE PATH TO PEACE.

President Mckinley has probably come
to the conclusion that Aguinaldo and
his followers have mistaken the over
lures Of the peace commission for show
of weakness and wearisomeness on the
part of the United States, which swelled
the heads of the Tagal emissaries and
leaders, who returned to their lines with
the idea that this country would accede
to any terms and soon terminate the
conflict. The president has relegated
the peace commission to the background
and instructed General Otis to pursue
the only path to peace with such foe,
and that is to carry on campaign with
unrelenting vigor until Aguinaldo sur,
renders. It is understood that the
president has also requested General
Otis to give to any future deputations
from Aguinaldo that they will not be
permitted to enter our lines unless they
bring notice of their unconditional sur
render. There is to be no more parley-
ing. They must surrender or fight.
That is the talk.

it will have the effect of raising prices

are the key to Oriental commerce proved
a hot shell and inflicted serious damage
in the antl-expansion bulwarks of De-
mocracy. None of those eminent gen
tlemen who are contributors of chapters
to Mr.. Bryan's book, pretending to illus
trate in 1owery language all the horrors
and calamlties attendant to expansion
and attempting to portray the evil and
horrifying conditions Of the Philippines,
have ever visited the islands, and being
opposed to the policy Of the adminlstra-
tion they cannot otherwise but present
their views in somewhat biased condi-
ton, and prompted by prejudice and po-
litical jealousy, the dark side OF the
proposition only is taken into consider
alton. On the one side of the question
we have Mr.. Atkinson and few other
political managers for the Democratic
party, and on the other we have Dewey,
the hero Of Manila bay, man who has
proven himself statesman as we'll as
naval commander uneqnalled in the
world today, backed by great majority
of the Am erican people. Dewey has
been stationed in Pacific waters for
years; he is familiar with the conditions
of the Philippine islands, and it can be
depended upon that he knows whereof
he speaks when he declares that the
Unlted States cannot let 90 of the Phil
ippines and that anybody should have
even suggested such thing will in fu-
ture years be one of the curioslties cf
history.
An attempt has been made by the
Democratic press to belittle Dewey's
opinion in the matter of governmental
policy, the declaration being made that

The steamer Paris was in use by the
navy throughout the late war. known
as the cruiser Yale, and suffered no
serious injury. On returning to peace
ful commerce she was wrecked. Using
this as an example it would seem that
the horrors of naval warfare have been
greatly exaggerated, and that the ordin-
ary dangers Of the sea appear greater
than those of marine warfare, measured
from the American standpoint.

HELENA'S IMPROVEMENT.

Payments through the chief clearing
house of the country for the fourth
week in May were 62 per cent larger
than for the corresponding week Of
last year and SO FER cent larger than
in 1892, when all previous trade re.
cords were broken. These figures
should be sufficient to please even the
Democratic calamity howlers who have
so far been unable to see any signs of
general improvement. Helena's bank
clearings show an increase Of 13. per
cent over the corresponding week last
year. and Helena is first on the list of
cities in the northwest for per capita
volume of business.
The Helena Independent is proud of
the record Helena has made and no
longer asserts that the general prosper
ity of the country is only Republican
pretense. Helena is more prosperous
than for years, and her bank clearings
corroborate the statement. The Capt.
tai City is doing larger business per
capita than many western cities that
claim to be experiencing boom, and
the Independent has just cause to be
proud of it. Every citizen of the state
is proud Of it. and every Republican is
much gratified at the result of Repub.
lican government. The Republican
party stands for good government, and
it is the desire that every enterprise
and every citizen in the land shall
enjoy prosperous times. The Indepen-
dent says:
Bank clearlngs don't make bust
ness, but business does make bank
clearings, and increased bank clear
ings mean that business has in
creased, in proportion. The gain
OF 49, per cent in itself would be
encouraging. The per capita show
ing is as surprising as 1t is encour-
aging.
The prospects are indeed good, bust
ness has increased, and the country
generally is prosperous. 1t will now
be i'll line, in order to be consistent,
for Democrats to cease clamoring about
conditions and finding fault with tho
Republican policy. A Republican ad-
has given the country
better times than it had enjoyed for
several years, and it is not only
affecting certain localities, but it
reaches from the Atlantic to the Pa
ellie and from the LAKES 10 the gulf.

Democracy are gradually opening their
eyes and looking toward the republican

what Mckinley said SO often in 1896,

silver ever had, and also that democracy
was just playing the old, wornout,
threadbare game of deceit and duplicity
in order to get the offices.
