Pfaus' Position on Expansion.

Rev. Pfaus delivered at Utica
Thursday evening another very en-
PERTAINING lecture on the subject OF
the Philippines, the hall being
crowded with interested listeners.
The receipts were for the benefit oi
the Presbyterian church and have
been forwarded to Lewistown.
Upon this occasion Mr.. Pfaus replied
to the criticism Of his Lewistown
lecture which appeared in these
columns last week, stating he had
been misunderstood in his remarks
upon the question Of expansion. hut
quite naturally. as he had not dealt
ms completely with the subject as he
should have considering he referred
To it at all. Mr.. Pfaus explained
that while he was opposed to expan-
sion and deeply regretted the cir
cumstances which have made that
policy necessary, he fully realized
that no other honorable course was
open and had no fault whatever to
find with the action Of the admins
tration in this regard. He said that
he very much regretted that he
should have been understood ms an
opponent Of the administration, for
he had no better solution tn offer
and had M tolerance for those who
sought by honorable or diShonOr-
able mean to attack the admins
tratiOn and belittle it's influence.
Further, that he considered some oi
the attacks now being made on the
war in the Philippines as most dis
couraging To the brave volunteers
and positively trditorous. We are
much pleased To make this correc.
ton for Mr.. Pfaus, as il was hard tn
believe that he could entertain the
opinions on the subject which his
Unite words from the LewiStown
platform implied.

Reports Very Conflicting.

Thursday morning last Col. San
ders telephOned this office from Hell
ena that word had been received
there from Col. Wallace at Manila
that Privates Myersick and Hall
were not dead, but only wounded,
and later this news was confirmed
from other Helena sources. Not
withstandiDg their earnest wishthat
the news might prove true, many
doubted it, considering that the
death of the boys had not only been
reported in Gen. Otis official dis
patches, but also by Sgt. Cheadle.
Friday another report reached Lew
istown, from Senator Hobson, stat
lug that "A dispatch had been received
from Wallace dated Manila that day,
to the effect that Myersick and Hall
were both alive and would recover,
This dispatch appears among ouI
war news. Still many were incredu'
lous and Sunday Senator Hobson
telephoned Lewistown that in reply
to an inquiry he had sent to Manila.
a reply had just arrived stating that
both boys were dead. As much az
all might hope for a different conclu'
sion, we firmly believe Wallace has
made the error, or parties in Helena,
and that Privates Myersick and Hall
are today mingling mid scenes where
the roars of musketry is forever
hushed.

For Grand Larceny.

Friday night Sheriff Shaw madeaR
important capture ON the streets OF
Lewistown. Some time ago he was
advised To keep an eye out for one
Tom Brown wanted at White Sui
phur Springs for grand larceny, and
Friday evening met his man un the
streets. Sheriff Jobb OF Meagher
county had warned Mr.. Shaw that
Brown was inclined To he a bad man
and to be rather careful in making
the arrest and On this account Sheriff
Shaw did not make the arrest mt
nee AS many bystanders were near.
Watching for a favorable uppor-
t%unitv, Brown was taken with little
trouble and though at first denying
his identity, admitted he was the
man wanted when lodged in Jail. Ii
appears that Brown had been at
John Glancy's ranch, down thecreek,
for some days and the horse upon
which he had come To town answers
the description Of the one he is
charged with stealing. Sheriff JObb
reached Lewistown yesterday and
took his prisoner in charge.

the INDEPENDENTS UNFAIRNESS.

Persistentiy refusing to discuss the
silver situation on it's merits, or to rec
ognize the charges of insincerity proved
against the leaders of the democratic
; party, the Helena Independent feeds it's
Disguised readers with such colossal ar

Up to the hour Of going to press the

planned it's desertion of bimetallism.

the foregoing excerpt from the Helena or
dependent has the fairness, or the cour-
age, or the ability-as the ease may be-
to explain the efforts of the democratic
leaders to place silver in the backgrounds

vincing the public that it is not a party
to the scheme to reunite the eastern and
western wings of the democracy at the
expense of the free coinage IGtio of Is to l..
Not a line of argument has appeared
in the editorial columns of the %Independ-
ent showing the fallacy of the statement
made by the Anaconda Standard that the
ratio of values between silver and gold
should be regulated by the worlds ex-
changes, and yet the Standard assumes
to speak for the democracy of this state.
Not a word of protest has appeared in the
Independent against the announcements
of the democratic leaders that the para
mount issue of 1896 shall not be the para
mount issue of 1900. The gold wing of
the democracy is planning the downfall
of Bryan, yet not a word of ncourage-
ment is offered the standard bearer Of
1896 by the Independent. ...
In common with other newspaper or
gans of the democracy, the Independent
deserted the cause of free coinage when
it repudiated the cooperative policy Of
1896, and is now trying to make a show
Of sincerity by claiming that those who
point out the sins of it's party are guilty
Of treason to the true interests Of silver.

LAWYERS.

New York Journal: There is a move
ment in a village not far from here to
exterminate the whole tribe of lawyers,
and to establish peace on earth and good
will toward men all the year round in
stead of at Christmastide only.
And, if one We're asked to invent a fit

an altruistic experiment is being tried he
could not come closer to it than by guess
ing the veritable name, which is Amity-
Vile.
In the effort to promote brotherly love
and confound the legal profession, the in
habitants at Amityville have banded
themselves into What they have named
issued a prospectus containing these
passages, which are practically a proc
lamation of boycott against lawyers:

In his comments on the new reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
France, the French consul at New York
indirectly pays a high tribute to- the
American policy of protection, when he
comedies the ability of this country to
drive free trade England out of the mar
kets of the French republic. He says:
''France's annual Importation of manu-
featured articles is about $3.50, 200, 900, and
the United States will get a good share of
this. America undersells England in cot
ton goods in China, and there is no reason
why it cam do the same in France. 1t
will be the same with other, articles.
England, Belgium, Germany and Austria
now supply France with her imported
manufactured articles. The leading i'm
ports are raw cotton, wheat, tobacco,
mineral oil, copper and lead. America
sends agricultural implements, sewing
machines, electrical appliances and
pumps."

There is a growing demand for arbitra-

is difficult to see wherein the United

in the settlement of international compli-

that character be made in the Alaskan

A WELL KNOWN MINING BROKEI
IN TROUBLE.

The we'll known mining broker, w. II.
Nichols, of No.. 1 West Broadway, Butte,
Montana, has got himself into plenty of
trouble.
1t seems that about four months ago he
advertised a certain mining to
be known as the Butte & Bingham Cop
per Mining company of Bingham, Utah.
The company was incorporated for 1,OOO,-
QUO shares at a par value of l cent per
share. and he succeeded in selling about
5000 shares of the stock at 1 cent per
share, regardless Of the good advice given
out by certain confidential persons who
took it upon themselves to keep the inno-
cent investors from losing their money
by innocent investment in such cheap,
wildcat stock. This of course caused
many of the would-be investors to stop
and consider the ACCESSIBILITY of taking a
chance, while with others it only made
them more anxious to place their hard
earned money in the hands Of the mining
shark.
Among those who were enticed nto
throwing their money away by investing
in the Butte 4 Bingham Copper Mining
company's shares at 1 cent per share
We're two ladies. They invested 5000, tak-
ing 10000 shares between them. Mr..
Nichols took their money with as much
graceas If they were worth a million
apiece, and this is just what has caused
all of the trouble. as it now appears that
bOth or these ladies' nave sold out their
stock to Mr.. Nichols for the small sum
of $4,000, making $4,000 net money on
their investment of 5000, and now he is
compelled to keep two clerks and a small
boy selling shares at Is cents per share,
and Mr.. Nichols claims that the next
block will positively go on the market at
no tless than 80 cents. and possibly SO
cents per share. He also claims hat this
same stock will reach the dollar mark by
the first of the year.
The last assay from the mine gave re-
turns as low as S1.20 in gold, l ounce in
silver, III per cent copper and s per cent
lead also as high as $30.40 in gold, SO
ounces in silver, 46 per cent lead and
IA $40 per cent copper.
Mr.. Nichols advises everyone who is
contemplating the purchase of BUTTE &
Bingham stock to wait 80 or 60 days until
the stock has reached so cents per share,
as it will then look more like a legitimate
investment than to buy now while it is
offered at Is cents per share. Is
