WHERE WAS CAMPBELL

In the campaign of 1898 the Demo.
cratic press and Democratic politician S
of the state of Montana, says the Mon
taua Sentinel, actually succeeded in cor
vlncing a great many voters OF this state
that an awful calamity would befall the
nation if their candidate for congress,
a. J. Campbell, was not elected. From
press and rostrum they declared that the
influence of the Democratic congress
man from Montana would be felt
throughout the nation in opposition to
any measure in favor Of the gold stand
ard or opposed to the free coinage OF
silver. So patriotic (:) were they in
this matter and SO anxious that the dear
people would make no mistake about 1t
that they buried the feud of years and
brought into use new species Of bribery,
blacklisting, coercion and corruption to
secure Democratic success. 1t was all
done il the interest of free silver; Just
as the work of the highwayman IS done
~ the interest of the man robbed
But behold day Of reckoning comes.
Mr.. Campbell occupies a seat in The
House of Representatives for but three
weeks, when bill committing the coun-
try unequivocally to the gold standard
is put upon its final passage in the
house. While a vote is being taken
Congressman Campbell Is leisurely weGd-
ing his way across the continent in a
Pullman palace car, and the press of the
east makes this comment: ELEVEN
Democrats voted for the measure and
several others were absent TO avoid going
on record" True Mr. Campbell was
pair d on this measure. But the mighty
influence, the moral support, which, ac-
cording to the Democrats of 1898, the
nation looked for, was numbered among
the lost. strayed or stolen when the time
for results came.
We have no fault to find with Mr..
Campbell return ng to his home for the
HOLIDAYS: we don't think anybody else
has. SO far as we know the Amalga-
mated has no Legislation pending during
the holidays and tnat is one period Of
the year when the work of detective
agencies is reduced to the minimum. BY
all means let Mr.. Campbell be undis-
turbed in the enjoyment Of his G hrist-
mas holidays, but let not the Democrats
of Montana presume to make the people
Of this state weary il the same manner
again.
Out Of common decency the Demo
Gratis should remember these words uf
Lincoln: You can't fool all the people

THE SWIFT FIGHTING OF THE EOERS

The extraordinary mobility of the
Beers is giving the British generals much
nneasiness. While the latter have never
been able to ascertain definitely the
number of the forces confronting them,
they have learned that their foes move
with SO much facility that they concen-
trate in great strength at the point at
tackled ard are hus able to check an ad.
vance. Every repulse which the British
forces have experienced was due to this
mobility of the Beers. The war has
been i'll progress ten weeks. Ladysmith.
Kimberly and Mafeking are still il

the British are held at bay. During
this tim, the English have lost in killed

OPENING THE PHILIPPINE>

Another step in the process of redeem
ing and civilizing the Philippines Is
marked in the Presidents order to Cen
eral Otis for the opening of port to com
merce. says the San Francisco Chronicle.
We may not call it new DEPARTURE
for it is merely the continuance and de-
velopment of the policy adopted at the
beginning. 1t is step forward III the
right direction, and one that promises
much good both to the islands and to
this country. The opinion has hitherto
frequently been expressed that the best
way to occupy those islands is to occupy
them. That is to say, not merely to
overrun them with troops, however nee
essary that may be for the suppression
of lawlessness, but to let the civil admin
istrator follow closely in the wake of the
military victor, and to establish govern
ment and industry and commerce wher-
ever our troops have passed and our flag
has been planted.
That, it may we'll be believed, is the
surest way of restoring and maintaining
peace. The parable of the unclean
spirit returning with seven other and
worse ones to the place whence ne had
been cast out is most apt to the case.
There is no use is simply driving out the
rebels and bandits and passing on and
leaving the place empty. Be sure the
bandits will return, and the last state OF
the place will be worse than the first
No: but when lawlessness is expelled
law is to be established. When the
plunderers and destroyers are driven
away honest industry and commerce are
to be begun. In that way all that is
gained will be held fast, and will aid in
the gaining of more. For every port
opened to commerce and every town
we'll governed and made prosperous will
serve as a center of law abiding and
loyal influences. Nothing is more re-
bellious than idleness and shiftlessness
and nothing more loyal than .ndustr!
and thrift.
10 this way, too, the United States
will be most directly fulfi ling its missi /
IN those islands. 1t did not take pos
session of them merely as a hunting
ground for its troops, but as a vantage
ground of peaceful, expanding and profit
able commerce. Their commercial poten
tialities are intellectually great, and it i:
now time they began to be realized
There is, no doubt, still some active fel(
work for our troops to do. The last re
mains of Aguinaldos wretched brig
andry must be suppressed promptly
sternly, remorselessly. That is, and vii
be until it is completely done, the frs
and most imperative order of the day
But sufficient progress Herewith nov
seems to have been made to permit tn
earnest taking up of the next grea
duty, and the doing of that Is what tn
Presidents order means.

President Mckinley cannot make the

Brooke Authorizes Him to See that
All Cuban Soldiers Are Paid.
Havana, June Ex-Governor General
Brooke, in an official letter to General
MaNimo Gomez, says, In relation to the
payment of the American gratuity:
"In distribution of the money | have
noticed that many men whose names
are not on the rolls claim to belong
TO the Cuban army. As governor gen
cral. | recommend YOU TO tain the nee
essary steps &c ascertain if they have
a right to a portion OF the S3,OOO,OOo,
and hereby authorize you to make
what arrangements you think proper
10 carry out the plan of distribution,
with the idea i'm view that | wish no
nan who served i'm the army under
proper conditions to be deprived Of his
just dues"
General Gomez subsequently pub
lished n short proclamation, in which
he says:
"In spite of my proposition to sepa-
rate myself completely from political
affairs, | feel il n moral duty to occupy
myself with all that pertains to II
heroic soldiers. In conference with
Governor General Brooke Yesterday
he informed me that under present
conditions some Cuban soldiers who
wish to collect their share of the o
ey allotted by the United States gov
eminent for the payment of the troops,
are unable to do so because their
names do not appear on the lists. This
should be changed, SO ms to enable
these men to receive their quota, which
-. .-l lrn,
"For this, I am authorized TO take
the measures needed, and in conse-
quence ] have advised all the chiefs to
send more information, including ev-
cry detail obtainable if they think as
l do. The soldiers need u decided
protection"
Judges Of the situation consider that
after the payment Of the Cubans has
been concluded throughout the island
a measure prohibiting the carrying OF
firearms without a license, explicitly
stating the nature of the arms and the
reason why the license is issued, will
be adopted.
