JOHN M. QUINN.

Notwithstanding the seriousness Of the
senatorial situation, and the a blood
that has been stirred to the boiling point
between the two factions of the demo-
cratic party, an occasional bit of humor
monotony of the wrangle, like a toad
stool %springing up in a bed of mushrooms
to divert attention from the main issue.
The latest joke in the senatorial campaign
is the letter written by John M. Quinn,
late editor of the Miner, which appears in
the Standard this morning.
The joke part of the letter consists in
the fact that Quinn is now a salaried at
tache of Boss Croker, the Tammany
~ization to undying hostility to silver, and
yet he attempts to influence the senatorial
election in Montana! And the Standard,
having abrogated the ratio of 16 to 1, is
willing to accept the help of Tammany in
fighting it's senatorial battles in this sill
yer state! Who says the two wings of the
national democracy-the silver faction
and the gold f~action-are not getting to-
gether?
And Quinn, we immortal argosy of the
untrodden sea-Quinn, who is slated fol
congress two years hence by the goldbug
democracy Of New York-has come to the
rescue Of the Montana democracy with &
lesson on political morals! Shades of the
great departed, what next? e

salary as editor of the Standard is re-
ported to be $40, 900 a year. some of it in
money. There is no doubt of the gentle
mans fitness for the high position of SEN
ator and for a time it was believed that
he would be the choice Of dominant IN
fuences in Anaconda instead Of Mr..
Mats. MIR. Durston has the merit of be-
ing a west side man, and his election
would prevent an outrage which now
seems to be contemplated by the men
who were elected to represent the west
side counties-that of elccting practically
an east side man as senator.
Whether the Miner will indorse this
fraternal notice of Mr.. Durston's eminent
qualifications for the Office is doubtful as
there seems to be a certain ack of conf
dence between the democratic leaders
inst now. However, that will disappear
when they are all dead.
Should Mr.. Durston refuse to permit
the use of his name by the legislature. his
editorial associate, State Senator Eggles-
ton, might be available. There is no more
admirable or brighter mar in this state
than Senator Eggleston, and we submit
that it is better to have a good Egg
than a bad one to represent Montana in
Washington as the junior senator.

A PROSPEROUS COUNTRY.

When a nation, like an Individual, sells
more than it buys, it grows rich. This is
what the United States are doing. At a
meeting of the country's manufacturers
now being held at Cincinnati, President
which he produced figures which show
that the balance of foreign trade is in or
favor: that is the people of the country
export more than they import, and this
was done during the last fiscal year, dur
ing which time the Dingley tariff was just
getting in it's work. His figures taken
from statistics Of our exports record the
largest volume of foreign business the
country has ever transacted in any one
year. For the year ended the 3oth of
June, 1898, the exports of American
manufacture amounted to the enormous
sum of s2SS, ST., 400, a total greater by S12,-
5000 0 than any previously recorded.
In the course of his emarks the gentle
man said: Labor of every class is we'll
employed, and in many instances reduc-
| ions in wages during recent years have
been revoked and former rates restored.
Taking a broad view of the country there
are evidences of activity and signs of
prosperity on every hand, n the condi-
lions which now present themselves form
a contrast as pleasing as it is striking in
comparison with the state of affairs two
or three years ago" These are encour-
aging words considering the fact that our
country is laboring under the disadvant-
age of the gold standard. The figures
produced, however, emphasize the fact
that in spite of the gold standard, the
country's unbounded ourc assert
their values. 1t is evident the country
will prosper though it be shorn of the aid
| which free silver coinage would afford it.

WH1TESIDE THROWN OUT.

By a vote Of II to 8 in the state senate
today the s.at in that body occupied by
Mr.. Whiteside was given to Mr.. Geiger.
The committee appointed to investigate
into the merits of the contest brought by
the latter gentleman returned O majority
and minority report. The majority report
relegated to the senate as a whole the de-
termination Of the intent Of the voter in
casting ballots improperly marked, while
the minority declared in favor of Mr..
Whiteside , giving him a majority on the
face of the returns.
The decisive vote by which Mr.. White
side was un3eated indicates that the mat
ter was carefully weighed by the senate,
and its conclusions must be accepted as
just and equitable. The personnel of that
body is a guarantee that so serious a step
as dispossessing a sitting member would
not be undertaken unless it was clearly in
evidence that he was not entitled to his
seat. That Mr.. Whiteside held a seat in
the senate by fraud, as we have hereto
fore alleged, is now demonstrated.
The fact that he had a cloud on his IT,
tie, to say nothing OF his reputation
leads US to repeat the statement that i
was a political mistake to use him as al
instrument through which to filter tn,
charges submitted to the grand jury. TIL
anti-Clark men lose one man in the re
tirement of Mr.. Whiteside, and the repub
Leans gain one. But it has no direc
bearing on the present status of the sen

A WAY OUT.

The Inter Mountain rises to suggest
that the members of the Montana legis-
~lature, in order to break the present
acrimonious deadlock, invade the noble
profession of journalism and elect a SEN
contemporary the Anaconda Standard
in the person of it's scholarly editor. Mr..
j. H. Durston. He has been a prominent
resident of Montana for twelve years and
is familiar with every need and aspira-
ton of the people. He is a student of
tai training is perfect in every detail. Not
only is he a writer whose work is remark
able for the vigor and purity of it's style,
but he is a graceful and eloquent orator
as well. Those who listened to his Deco
ration day address in Butte last year need
not be reminded of that. His views on
public questions will not be at variance
with the declarations of the next demo.
cratic national platform.
Personally he is a most charming man
and as an after dinner speaker socia'
circles in Washington would find him an
invaluable and continuous surprise. Mr.
Durston is C. rich man, owning much
valuable real estate in Anaconda, His

Is THERE A DARK HORSE?

Said the esteemed Anaconda Standard
of the 14th inst:
There are plenty of good men in the
democratic party of this state. Name
WHOM YOU please. Any one of them will
suit the Standard.
If the Standard is sincere in the above
declaration let it instruct its followers
in the legislature, if they are really
alarmed at the Clark candidacy, to vote
for one of the good men," Let the dele
cations from Silver Bow, Deer Lodge,
Missoula and Ravalli swing to Hon. H.
l.. Frank. or Thomas f. Courtney, or G.
W. Stapleton, or w. w. Dixon, or D. J..
Hennessy. There might then be an in
slant stampede from Clark and Conrad.
What on earth are those west side dele
cations supporting Mr.. Conrad for when
it is as plain as daylight that he can not

not yet said a kind word of Mr.. Conrad.

AMERICAN BEEF IN ENGLAND.

Consul Boyd, in an extended report on
our trade with Liverpool, says that Amer
lean meat is often sold as English; the
choice cuts Of American beef being, in
deed preferred by manv of the large
butchers to the English cuts. And fur
Their still, il seems hot until quite recent
ly it has been considered that the meat
of American cattle slaughtered in Eng
land was far superior to chilled meat;
but a great change has taken place in re-
gard to this, and English buyers and SELL
ers claim that the American chilled beef
is superior to the meat of American cattle
slaughtered in that country. 1t appears
that although the meat of American cat
tie slaughtered in England is put through
a process of chilling owing to the inexpe-
rience of the English people and their lack
of facilities, the process is not so salts
factory as in this country. Not only is
the trade in chilled beef increasing to vast
proportions, but there is a large and in
creasing trade in fresh chilled pork. Most
of the pork pies, which ere a staple arti-
Gle of food among the English working
classes, are made of fresh chilled Ameri-
can pork.
Consul Boyd also writes that expert
ments are now being made with the ship
ments of chilled poultry from the United
States to Liverpool, for poultry is very
dear in England and is of inferior quality.
American mutton is not making much
Roadway because it is fattened too quick
ly. The Britons do not like salt, conse-
quently hams and bacon for shipment to
England must be kept mild and not toe
fat. Liverpool has at present only limited
cold storage accommodation, so that only

WOULD BE A WINNER.

A 1umor was circulated in Helena yes
terday to the effect that the anti-Clark
men would concentrate on Hon. D.. J.
Hennessy of Butte. That gentleman's host
of friends in this city would be delighted
to see that rumor confirmed, as no man
stands higher N point Of ability, and all
other senatorial requisites, than he. His
record some years ago as a state senator
was first-class, and that he would wear
higher honors with credit to the state no
one for a moment doubts.
1t is a matter of grave doubt, however,
whether Mr.. Hennessy could be induced
to allow the use of his name as a candi-
date, with large business interests re-
curing his close attention. AS Mr.. Con-
rad has been the recipient of the loyal
supper of the west side, and has Demon
strated his inability to secure enough ad-
ditional east side votes to be elected, it
would seem that his strength would have
no hesitency in going to a man like Mr..
Hennessy, if the Silver Bow and Deer
Lodge delegations would set the example.

AS TO SALARIES.

While the general purpose of economy
aimed at in the salary bill introduced by
Senator Hobson meets the approval of
this paper, as expressed in our issue of
the oath instant, an examination into
the details of the measure betrays many
weak points of construction and an I'M
familiarity with the relative duties of
the various officials affected by it. That
some of the reductions recommended are
too great, as compared with others, cam
not be denied, for there is a marked diff
ference in the character of the work re-
quired in different offices.
Some Offices require ability and train
ing Of a high order, and the compensation
should correspond, while Q lesser salary

care and discretion should be exercised
in the adjustment of salaries, that a
wholesome desire for economy may work
no injustice by using the pruning knife
too literally and thus impair the eff
cheney of the public service.
