Some Of Dewey's friends are appre-
hensive that he may dim his glory By
talking when he returns from the Pail
fppines. The experience Of many other
military and naval heroes justines the
apprehension. and II would be pitiable
II the ma6 who has done most and said
least should come down from the high
elevation he has attained and join the
commonplace ranks Of those who have
said too much.
The bravery Of our soldiers and sail
ors has been placed beyond all ques-
ton, yet it is unfortunately the truth
that too many have walked into the
trap which Fate prepared for Sackville

Burchard.
II Gen. Miles mad not let his tongue
wag too giibly in order to say Q smart
thing he would have stood in a very
dignified position; but whether his crit
cism was justified or not, the public
feels that he did not take soldier-like
way of dealing with the subject Samp-
SON would have been the idol Of the peo-
pie II he had not made the unfortunate
mistake Of saying the wrong thing Had
he but had the gumption to write Of his
subordinate officers as Dewey did Of
those under his command, Schley would
have been dropped out Of sight. just as
Sigsbee has been. Had, on the other
hand. schiey been strong enough to keep
silent when Sampson was talking. he
would have been placed In the position
of honor. and nothing could have pre-
vented him from becoming the hero Of
Santiago.
There was time when Hobson was
almost demigod. and II he had retain

freedom from affectation which charac-
terized his heroic act. he would not
have slipped into comparative oblivion

man nature will sympathize with Capt.
Coghlan in being the victim Of publica-
ton Of words which were only intended
for private hearing: but people are much
more apt TO remember that Emperor
William. when told what Coghlan had
said. did not get angry. but only
laughed.

The Times seems TO think 1t remark
able that the Post-Inteliisencer has
withheld comment upon the merits Of
the city printing case recently decided
BY Judge Jacobs. To those who respect
the decent and orderly administration
Of justice the reasons are obvious. They
doubtless understand that, while =
cause Il pending before the court. pro-
priety demands that the parties refrain
from haranging the public from the
curbstone and the housetops: and that it
is peculiarly indecorous for the owner Of
a Newspaper to devote its publications to
arguing the merits OF its own case and
advertising the abilities Of it's attorney.
We forbore, therefore, to advise the pub
lie from day to day what Judgment in
our opinion the court ought to. and prob
ably would. render. We made no at
tempt through our editorial columns to
suggest 10 the Judge what action on his
part would commend him TO our favor.
We preferred to confine our efforts to
those methods which the law provides.
and generally requires. In order to main
tain respect for the administration Of
the law by the courts. During the
tendency OF the appeal which has been
taken. and will be prosecuted. We shall
continue to fight our battle before the

NATIONAL GUARD TALK
Young Men Imbued With Mill
tary Spirit Want to Organize.
WHAT THE LAW PROVIDES
How the Service Can Be Reorganizsd in
the State : Initiative Must Be
Ha Taken by the Prospec-
tive Guardsmen.
WHAT THE LAW PROVIDES

When the National Guard Of Mon
tana entered the service of the United
States as federal volunteers it's organi-
cation in this state was disrupted. Since
that time no effort has been made to
reorganize the service. In most of the
other states of the union reorganiza-
ton was effected Immediately.
In several parts of the state the
young men are discussing the matter.
Anaconda is no exception to the rule.
Many have been fired with military
service revived. Lack of leadership or
active movement in the matter seems to
be the only thing lacking.
The National Guard laws of the state
are most liberal in character They
provide for an organization consisting
of one regiment of infantry, consisting
of 70 companies; two troops of cavalry,
battery of light artillery, a signal
corps, one regimental band and an am
bulance corps. &
Section $780, chapter III, article III of
the code provides as follows: when
ever sufficient number of citizens,
residents of any county in this state,
subject to military duty, subscribe a
call for the organization of company,
the adjutant general. upon the applica-
ton of such persons, must present the
same to the ommander-in-ehief.'
Section 2131 provides: IF such COM
pany is accepted. the adjutant general
must appoint some person, resident of
the county, to open book in which to
enter the names of persons so applying,
and must fix a time and place of meet
ing for the purpose of organization, by
giving Is days notice thereof, by pub
lication in some newspaper, or by post
ing notices in at least three places in
the county,
IF the young men of the city are
sincere in this desire to enter the Ma
tional Guard" said a local military
man yesterday, they had better get to-
gether, organize and forward their petit
ton for admittance to the Guard. No
Guard can be created until there are
companies. The initiative must be ia
ken by the prospective members of the
organization. Our National Guard law
is the same as before the war started.
Our volunteers are out of the Guard
now and when they return will doubt
less have had their fill of soldering.
