THE SlXTHLEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY

While the history of the Sixth legis-
lative assembly Of the state of Montana
would make a library substantially bound
in calf, if written up in full for the edifi-
cation of the world, even a brief glance
over it's more conspicuous acts is per-
tinent to it's closing hours. Often a sigh
of relief goes up from an outraged COM
monwealth when a legislative session
reaches it's finale, and from the very
depths of the public soul there wells up
the sentiment Thank God, it is all over
There is perhaps little of this sentiment
in Montana today, for the feeling is gen.
eral that the legislature has lone it's
worst, that the evil it has lone will live
after it while the good will be inferred
with it's bones.
It's capacity for unwise legislation
would scarcely be enlarged had it another
month to sit, so instead of feeling a sense
of relief over it's ending, the public regret
grows more and more intense. Sentiments
of regret, disgust and shame represent
the concensus of public opinion, and
never before have the good citizens of
this state so fully realized the forceful
truth so ably portrayed by the poet when
he said:
Ill fares the land,
TIC Fastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men
decay.
Voluntary confession, direct or implied,
has always been an important factor in
the administration of justice, and is given
due weight in the Jurisprudence of the
present age. When the creator confesses
to the utter failure of the created-when
the political forces that made a demo-
cratic legislative assembly a possibility in
this state plead guilty to the dishonesty
and incompetency of that body, it is time
for the intelligent voters and taxpayers
of Montana to wear sackcloth and ashes
over the wave of assininity tina deluged
the ballot boxes last fall.
Democratic evidence of the highest type
is alone required to everlastingly impeach
the present legislature and place it high
on the roster of the cordially damned. IT
must be admitted that democratic sue
cess in Montana in the late campaign was
due to the active work of the three great
newspaper organs of that party-the
Anaconda Standard, the Butte Miner and
the Helena Independent-and the political
and inancia forces of which they are the
accredited mouthpieces.
Without the work Of these ably edited
journals a democratic majority in the
Sixth legislative assembly would have
been an impossibility. Candor compels
the acknowledgment of this fact. Yet all
of these newspapers, representing the
several ard respective interests behind
them. have done everything possible to

cUBANs BEING REcocx,zED.

General Brooke, the head of the military
government of Cuba, and General Ludlow,
military governor for the department of
Havana, have followed the example set,
under President McKinley's direction, in
the organization of the temporary govern
ment of Santiago. They have made their
civil appointments almost exclusively from
ther ranks Of the Cubans. In this they are
pursuing in good faith the plan to give the
Cubans. at the earliest possible time, a.
Independent and stable government, which
was promised in our declaration of inter-
vention. The only hope of a happy out
come of the new situation in Cuba lies in
the Jealous interest and intelligent direc-
ton of the United States. The more that
may with safety be entrusted to the Gu
bans under American authority, the sooner
will the natives acquire the ability to ad-
minister their own affairs.
This development of native talent and
ambition is not in conflict with the hope, in
dulged by many Americans and Cubans,
that the ultimate result will be annexation
of HI island by the United States. On
the contrary, nothing else will do so much
to foster the pronunciation sentiment as
the honorable, liberal and productive ad-
ministration of Cuban affairs by the United
States government. The possibility of an
nexation lies only in the consent of the
Cubans-or in their rebellion against Amer
lean military occupation. AS the latter con-
tingent is desired by none and is wholly
improbable, there is no reason why every
confidence should not be employed. What
ever the future of the island is to be, the
best interests of the United States will be
served by the most rapid possible develop.
ment of native ability, Industrial and ad-
ministrative.

this start, under the surveillance of the
prison authorities. nearly always results
in establishing the prisoner in good lines
of life. He must keep away from his old
haunts and his former disreputable COM
panions, whereas the prisoner who is lib
Grated by absolute pardon or expiration
of term usually goes back at once to his
former walks and habits.
AT the sane time the parole system, as
is fully established by the court records
of New York, has done away with the in
fuence of maudlin sympathy amongst the
courts and juries. Knowing that by good
behavior the prisoner may gain his liberty,
even though it be restricted, the juries
convict criminals with greater readiness.
and the judges impose greater sentences
than ever before known. Indeed, the I'M
position of the maximum penalty in New
York has become the ordinary sentence by
the criminal judges. and the result is that
when a really bad and vicious offender
gets in jail he must stay there for a long
time. Here is where society is benefited,
though this does not constitute all of the
beneflts by any means. The expenses borne
by taxpayers have been greatly reduced
and the prison population number less by
many thousands than it otherwise would.
Governor Stanley has asked the Kansas
legislature for a small appropriation to
be expended in working out a plan Of
prison reform for submission to the legis-
lature of two years hence. He proposes to
call to his aid assistants who shall inves-
tigate and report upon the best that has
been accomplished elsewhere. Perhaps the
legislature at Jefferson City may get a use
full pointer from this Kansas proposition.
Perhaps it also should investigate before
adopting a board or pardons system which
may turn out as bad as the law which
Kansas is about to repeal.

Reversing Tradition.
the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Alfred Maxwell, the superintendent of
the public market at Mckeesport. Pa. has
just been acquitted of the charge Of kiss
ing his servant girl, Mabel Scott. Mabel,
who was the plaintiff. had her employer
indicted on a charge of assault and bat
terry, and sought to punish him for the
indignity to which she claims he had SUBJ
jected her.
The issue of this case will prove a facer
to the joke writer's who have all along
vigorously Contended that the constant
source of matrimonial discord was Illicit
osculatory relations between the man of
the house and the servant girl. In fact,
this situation has SO long been worked for
all the material which it possessed. and
so firmly have people become inoculated
with the virus of this popular idea, that
such a startling exception will come as
a severe shock to their sense of the eter-
nal fitness of things. At the same time.
it will provide suspicious wives with a
double sense of security when leaving sus-
ceptible John at home with the pretty and
fi~irtatiously inclined maid of all work.
For all of these reasons, and others
too patent for enumeration, Mr.. Maxwell
is to be congratulated and thanked for so
vigorously fighting the case in the courts
and proving that weak man is not always
so prone to acknowledge the soft impeach-
ment as the other sex gives him credit
for being.

EAGAN's ATTACK on MILES.

General Miles has made himself unpop-
ular by his frequently unjust. always spec
iacular and generally unnecessary attacks
upon theSwar department. He has EXPOSED
himself to especial censure by his criticism
of American beef as furnished to the army,
and no one who is posted on the processes
employed by American packers believes
that he will be able to sustain this particu-
lar charge.
These facts. however. do not Justify the
brutal personal assault made upon General
mony before the war investigating COM
mission. 1t is said that General Eagan, be-
fore he was called on to answer General
Miles. declared that either he or Miles
should be contaminated and dismissed
from the army. His action on the witness
stand certainly accords with this alleged
declaration.
General Eagan's charges against Cen
eraI Miles should be considered, officially
and by the public, from two points of view.
They should be taken for what they are
worth as a refutation of Miles sensational
charges against the war department. and
they should be considered from a strictly
military standpoint as well. No provoca-
tion could Justify such a gross-and es-
pcciaIly such a deliberate-violation of mil
itary discipline as that Of which General
Eagan is guilty. He has a right to enter
denial in emphatic terms. but he has no
right to indulge in personal abuse, espe-
cially toward a superior officer. He should
be shown that while the United States
army is not a despotic organization, it has
at least a line Of discipline that may not
b violated with impunity. To ignore this
breach Of military discipline would not
only lessen the dignity of the army. but
1t would also establish a highly dangerous
precedent.
General Eagan's desire to see somebody
court-martiaIed may possibly be gratified.
The promise of the secretary of war that
witnesses before the board of inquiry shall
be protected in their testimony cannot fair
ly be construed to cover cases of coarse
personal abuse.

Democratic Cigars.

From the New York Sun.
AS might be expected, the managers of
the silver campaign are fertile in ingenious
means for raising the wind. The plan of
collecting 81 a month from generous DEM
ocratic brethren and sending it to the Hon.
Coin Harvey. of Chicago. has not been
given up, and Mr.. Bryan still drops in his
monthly mite cheerfully. 1t is said, how
ever. that collections have been rather
slow. Possibly Santa Cluas has intercept
ed supplies that SHOULD have gone to Coin
Harvey. At any rate. a new project IS
said to be dazzling the eyes of the Hon.
Jim Jones ways and means committee.
Mr.. Joseph Lech!eiter, a maker of cigars
in Minonk. H., is the father of the new
scheme. which he laid before the COM
mittee in solemn session last week. Nat
urally, the members of the committee are
averse to communicating the details to
the world of money changers. but the plan
is said by the Chicago Tribune to lin
volve the selling of cigars in some way
it is thought by means of a brand to be
approved by the committee certain part
of the proceeds to go to the committee
treasury" Thus smoking may be made a
political duty for faithful Democrats, and
every putting Bryanite may find strength
to struggle with ever the most refractory
and abominable tobacco for the sake of
fattening Coin Harvey's strong boxes and
boosting downtrodden silver

1t is a grateful task to call attention to
the fact that Lieutenant Hobson has re-
formed. AS shown in the report from
Honolulu, the young lieutenant is again
COMFORTING himself with the grave decor
UNI and courtesy which become an officer
of the navy. During the twelve hours in
which he remained in Honolulu he kissed
not, neither was he kissed. He accepted
the tributes of the American citizens Of
the Hawaiian capital with good grace, and
before he left them he made a speech sig
nalized by good sense. good taste and a
fine sentiment of patriotism and fellow
feeling for the other men of the navy and
army. He did not talk of what Hobsor
did. but of what the men with him did,
and he said that their act only typified the
acts which thousands of American soldiers
and sailors were willing and glad to do.
Then the ship from which he spoke swung
off from her mornings and the crowd
cheered in admiration of q hero who could
be modest and sensible as well as heroic.
Good for Hobson! The news presages an
important and useful career for him in the
Philippines.
