Mr.. Cleveland declares that he is op-
posed TO the employment of force in the
extension Of American institutions. So?
Let us see. Who used force in 1875?
Who used force when General Clark
marched into the west and attached
Illinois TO the Union? What was sug-
gested but force when Congress threat
ened France with war for closing the
mouth of the Mississippi, whereby we
acquired LII, 931 square miles of ter
ritory under a treaty negotiated under
the very shadow of force to be employ
ed by Mr.. Jefferson? Who used force
when the President of the United States
ordered General Claiborne to march
with his soldiers into West Florida and
take possession, despite the protests of
Spain and England, whereby we ac-
quired that fair territory? 1t was Cen
eral Wilkinson who pushed that exten-
sion as far as Mobile by occupying by
force Who used force when Jackson
marched into East Florida, whereby we
still more broadened the borders of our
national garment? Who used sorce
when the annexation OF Texas was ef-

fected and American institutions We're
spread over broader area? Who used
force when Mexico resisted us, Whereby
We took from her her richest possessions
and gave California to the Union, along
with Utah, Arizona and New Mexico?
Who used force in 1858 when troops
We're marched into territory claimed by
Mexico on the Arizona border, whereby
we compelled our sister to yield up to
us 45,535 square miles more of terri
tory? The Chicago "Inter Ocean" puts
these questions in different form more
extendedly and IN manner that is
convincing and witty. 1t may be added
that it was the employment of force
that gave to us all the West Indian
possessions of Spain except Cuba. Yet
even the most rabid of anti-expansion-
lists do not suggest that we should
abandon Porto Rico and the other Car
ribean possessions and turn the lands
back to Spain or commit them TO the
sole control Of the natives.

Of one thing let everybody be cer-
tain. When George II. Clark is Mayor,
as he will be, he will take a personal
interest in the street and street clean
ing question that no other Mayor ever
has. In fact it is understood to be his
determination to practically be Street
Superintendent as well as Mayor. He
proposes to see that the streets are
better cared for, that the laws relating
to them are observed, that the resi-
dence streets are frequently cleaned,
that there shall be no neglect Of streets
in remote sections simply because they
are not upon the upper grade. The
people can rest assured that when Mr..
Clark is Mayor, as he will be, the old
system Of clogged cutters will be aban-
doned and that such revolution in
street care will be introduced as will
bring about the changes all the people
have so long hoped for This journal
has repeatedly pointed out how this
can be done, and Mr.. Clark is the man
to secure its accomplishment, if any
one in the city can do it.

Chambers of Commerce and the State
Board of Trade are circulating widely
a valuable monograph written by Gen
eral n. P. Chapman entitled Greater
California and the Trade of the Orient"
1t is a comprehensive, able and indeed
exhaustive treatise upon our forests
and fields, our fruits, wines, irrigation,
ocean and river carriage, our coal and
other mines, our soil products gener-
ally, our trade and its expansion: in
fact it treats of the facts and possi-
bilities of California in a manner at
once attractive and profound, without
indulgence in such length as to repel
any reader. 1t is freely illustrated.
/ Such work from the pen Of such a
man, ought to have very wide circula-
tion throughout the East. General
Chapman is a man Of high character,
unimpeachable integrity, of broad OBJ
servation, of scholarship and close
study, and Of exceeding information.
He brings to such a task as he has
accomplished in this pamphlet the pow
ers of a trained mind, judicial judg-
ment, strict sense of justice, and de-
votion to the State that is second to
none. The manner in which he treats
the subject is novel in many respects,
suggesting thoughts that are new, and
opening UP to the mind vistas Of pos
sibility almost bewildering in the glow
of their rich promise.

The Record Union" supports George
H. Clark for Mayor, not alone because
he Is the nominee of the Republican
party. though the success of that party
in the approaching municipal election is
Of National Importance. His election is
advocated also because of the convic-
ton that it is the best thing for the
city. We'want a successful young bus
iness man at the head of municipal af-
fairs at this time Mr.. Clark fills that
bill. He has the capacity, the cour-
age and the progressiveness. Besides
being the head of the Republican tick
ct, therefore, he is a representative
young business man and will bring to
the discharge of the duties Of the office
the energy. ambition and experience
that are needed.

A PARTY REvERsEs ITSELF.

The "Oregonian'' makes some excel
lent points when it declares in the
course Of an elaborate review that the
Democratic party has abandoned its
last plank. Once it stood like a stone
wall against cheap money and curren-
cy debasement; 1t was in that position
under Jefferson. Under Jackson it
legislated to prevent an overvalued
metal from driving out an underYalued
metal Of coinage. Under Pierce it in
troduced the system Of minting frac-
tional coins of less metal value than
the token value-in short, the time was
when the Democratic party was
sound money party.
1t was at one time the party Of ex-
pansion also, and of national growth,
and under it Florida and the Louisiana
territory were acquired. It accepted
Texas and acquiesced in the results
which gave US our fair possessions on
this coast. But all these things and pol
icies were before "Coin" Harvey and
w. J. Bryan captured the party and
turned It from its course. Nor Will it
be forgotten that there was a time in
the sixtieth decade Of the century the
Democratic party was so far an ex-
pansion party, that it was the advo-
cate Of annexation of Cuba, and in 1856
1t elected President who was an
open, pronounced and enthusiastic
champion OF such a policy It was
Mr.. Buchanan who said:
If I can be instrumental in settling
the slavery question upon the terms /
have mentioned. and then add Cuba to
the Union, shall, If President, be will
ing'to give up the ghost, and let Breck-
inridge take the Government
In 1850 the party IN National Con-
vention assembled. adopted this reso-
luton without single vote Of dissent:
Resolved, That the Democratic
party are in favor of the acquisition
OF the island Of Cuba, on such terms
as snail be honorable to ourselves and
just to Spain.
But now under the dictation of Mr..
Bryan who has crept into "the ssats
OF the mighty" the party is asked to
and does repudiate it's traditions and
declared policy and presents itself as an
anti-expansion influence. Neither in
1856 nor in 1850. did the party in its
preachment OF expansion have a single
word to say about the consent Of the
governed. 1t was not even suggested
that the Cubans should be consulted
as to their desires in the premises. 1t
was simply proposed to take Cuba by
purchase, but secretly it was under
stood that If necessary we were in some
way to recognize an insurrectionary
party in the island as representing the
whole people and with it set up the
authority OF the United states in the
gem Of the Antilles despite Spain. What
the party then said concerning Cuba
fits exactly the case Of the Philippines
to-day, with the single exception that
the insurrectionary force is in arTns
against US instead Of Spain.
Thus the Democratic party under the
leadership of Mr.. Bryan has abandoned
the last Of its planks, If we except free
trade. though the tariff will not be
much in Issue in the coming campaign.
reverses its traditions and fills the air
with announcement OF that which it
once approved and advocated.

The enemies of the Republican mu-
nicipal ticket are now busily engaged
in giving all the currency they can to
the story that the candidacy Of Mr..
Clark for Mayor means a great many
ulterior things; that it enmeshes all
sorts of schemes, and reaches away out
and beyond the office itself All which
is bosh. Mr.. Clark was fairly NOM
mated by a representative convention
chosen at a perfectly open and fair
primary, held after nominations had
been made in open ward caucuses held
after due notice. That convention
| adopted q platform and placed Mr..
Clark upon 1t. He accepted, and stand
ing upon that platform comes before
the people a free man, bound by no
hole-and- d-corner agreements. pledged to
| nothing ulterior or crippling, and with
the highest best good Of the whole city
in view, and that alone The Repub-
lican party stands upon it's platform
with it's candidate free, untrammeled
and unpledged, save so far as he is
bound by the pledges Of that instru-
ment. The attempt to put the ticket
and its head in a defensive attitude is
chicane of the enemy. It will not work.
The ticket will be elected. and George
H. Clark will go into the office OF
Mayor clean-handed and free, strong
in high purpose to conserve economy,
progress, reform Of abuses wherever
they present. Backed by a responsible
political organization to which he is
accountable, he will give the city an
administration vigorous, cleanly and at
once progressive and economic.

Sheriff Conley yesterday received a
telegram from the East stating that
6. NJ. Roe, the man arrested at Lin
coin, Neb.. few days ago, is now on
his way to Montana in charge of Off
GERS. Roe is the man who is wanted
in this county for the robbery of the
Northern Pacific railroad station at
Warm Springs, in which robbery he
succeeded in getting away with $780,
The telegram received by Mr.. Conley
was to the effect that Roe had left
Lincoln in charge of United States Mar
shall Woods and Detective r. G. Hunt
of the Northern Pacific staff. 1t is not
known yet whether the prosecution of
Roe's case will be taken charge of by
the United States officers or whether
1t will be left to the county and state
authorities. 1t would seem from the
contents of one of yesterdays tele-
grams that the state authorities will be
given the first 'crack" at Roe, and If
it is found advisable afterwards for
the federal officers to take up the case,
the prosecution will be on the charge
of robbing the United States postoffice.
1t was stated in one of the kilograms
received here yesterday that Messrs.
Woods and Hunt left Lincoln, with Roe
in custody, on Friday evening and that
they would proceed to Helena If the
party left Lincoln at the time indicat-
ed the man should arrive in Helena

JAIL BREAKER CAUGHT
Mike Barna Ran Away From
Deer Lodge Two Years Ago.
WAS CAPTURED IN BUTTE
The Story of His Offense, as Told by
Himself-How He Came to Cat
Away From Deer
Lodge.

After nearly two years, an escaped
prisoner from the county Jail. which
was then located at Deer Lodge has
been arrested by the authorities of
Butte, and he is now behind the bars
in the county Jail in this city. The
escaped convict is Mike Barna, an
Italian who resided in Anaconda at
the time of his former arrest.
Barna was arrested in the month of
December, 1896, charged by Mike Lesko
with assault and battery. Barna and
Lesko were in George Burich's saloon
on certain evening, and after taking
few drinks together Barna dropped
into cuspidor a nickel belonging to
Lesko. Lesko started a row, which
ended in the latter getting bad beat
ing. Lesko then filed a complaint
against Barna for assault and bat
terry. Barna was arrested. He said
that he would not have engaged in a
fight with Lesko if the latter had not
called him names. Barna appeared
before Fitzgerald on Dec. -, 1896, and,
being found guilty of the charge of as
sault and battery, he was sentenced to
six months in the county Jail. He re-
lates the story of his escape from the
latter place as follows:
Il had been in the Jail for two months
and l was getting along very Well One
night. while l was engaged in a game
of cards. some of the other prisoners
told me of a good way to escape, and
[ told them l would look into it. That
was on Feb. 16. l studied the plan and
found 1t to be feasible. and decided to
try it the next day. l did so on the
18th, and 1t worked all right. I walked
into Anaconda and went straight to the
cabins of some Italians. where l re-
NAMED for several days. l afterwards
left for Butte, where 1 have resided
ever since. My walk from Deer Lodge
to Anaconda was a very hard one, as
1t was very cold that night"
When the escape was effected the
officers Immediately got word of the af-
fair and they made thorough search,
having learned that Barna was hid
den in some cabin in Anaconda. Barna
was arrested in Butte on Friday even
ing by Deputy Sheriff Evans. The lat
ter Immediately informed the sheriff's
office of this city, warrant was is
sued for Barna's arrest and Deputy
Sheriff Joe DAILY left at noon yesterday
for Butte and returned last evening
with the prisoner.
