BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD.
RESTS ON MONTANA'S NOBLE
DEAD.

Montana will never forget IT'S heroes
who fell in the Philippines. and in no bet
ter way can the tender sentiments of the
people of his great state be expressed
than through the splendid poem written
years ago by that gallant Irish-Ameri-
can O'Hara and known to patriotic
hearts from ocean to ocean as 1.-THE
Bivouac of the Dead He who has Wis
tied a national cemetery, north or south,
cannot fail to rave observed, placed along
the winding Ways that thread the green

stanzas from the poem which is the sole
basis of the fame of one-himself a hero.
who may be said to have sung his own
memorial, standing upon his unIlade
grave. O'Hara's Bivouac of the Dead is
certainly the nobiest elegaic in American
literature. AS it was written to comment
crate the death of his comrades who fell
in Mexico, and was read by him on the

THE TRUST QUESTION nv ONO.

Strange as it may seem, the democratic
press have suddenly dropped the discus
sion of the trust question. While Bryan
talks against such institutions with more
or less emphasis. it is noticeable that he
deals in glittering generalities rather
than in specific remedies. His proposed
constitutional remedy met with such a
cold reception from the barrel holders of
the democracy, who are the chief pro-
motors of the trusts in this country, that
he does not insist on parading that idea
before the public.
To ingratiate himself apparently with
democrats of great wealth, he has been
making as high as six speeches a day
trying to elect the multi-millionaire,
John r. Mclean, governor of Ohio.
When he attempts to talk about trusts
in Mckinley's own state, he runs up
against the following antitrust pro-
vision in the tariff bill which that gem
tleman drafted, and which was passed
by a republican congress:
Every contract. or combination in the
form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy,
in restraint of trade or commerce. among
the several states or with foreign nations
is hereby declared Illegal. Any person
who shall make any such contract or
ngage in any such combination or con-
splracy shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor. and IN conviction thereof
shall be fined by a fine not exceeding
$4,000, or by Imprisonment, or by both at
the discretion of the court.
Then, the colonel encounters the fact
that in 1894 the democrats, in ontro of
both houses of congress, repealed the
Mckinley bill with is wise provisions
against the trusts, and enacted the Will
son bill, which gave those institutions
free rein. Every attempt on the part Of
the republicans to %re-enact McI<inley's
restrictive measure against the trusts
has been opposed by the democrats in
congress-. Probably, the reason Bryan is
able to make six speeches a day in Ohio.
between meals. is the brevity with which
he touches the antitrust question.

HELPING SIL YER,

The Anaconda Standard has reached
the conclusion that the Denver Repub-
lican is a better democratic sheet than
some of the silver republican newspa-
pers in Montana. In instituting COM
parsons it says:
Whatever it may think concerning the
attitude of the democratic party on
questions outside of the monetary issue,
it makes no attempt to bring that party
into national disrepute and cover il with
unjust odium. The Republican has in
telligence enough to know that such a
course would tend to defeat the only
party that has both the strength and in
%clination to help silver in the slightest
degree. Neither does it attempt to be-
little Mr.. Bryan or dlsparage his argu-
mentS, because, as he is practically GER
tain to be the democratic candidate. any
thing that has a tendency to lower him
in he public estimation must, of neces-
sity, injure the cause for which he
stands.
If the Standards premises We're relia-
BILE it's conclusions would not call for
criticism. 1t assume that Mr.. Bryan
and the democratic party stand for the
rehabilitation of silver and the adoption
of the free coinage system, when in fact
such is not the case. Our contemporary
is quite right when it says the demo-
inclination to help silver in the slightest
degree" Since the defeat of Bryan in
1896 the democratic party has endeav-
ored to help silver in the slightest degree
.@-..1J. ~.l a.. 60
continuation of that sort of help in 1900.
To say nothing of the reputation of
the 16 to l ratio by the Standard itself,
and the scandalous course pursued by
the democracy of this state ~relative to
the cooperative policy of 1896, the ma
tional leaders of that organization have
osition to place the silver question in the
background, and select a paramount
issue for 1900 upon which both wings OF
the party can agree.
If there has been an attempt to dis
parage the arguments, and thereby be-
little the influence of Mr.. Bryan, the late
sAts y ~" 49, itAi'N ttli u 1 I,
When he repudiated the pledge of 1896 to

SUN ouuS HIS SlIcllSl III COulu DluC.
Twas in tina hour his stern command
Called to a martyrs grave
The flower of his beloved land
The nations flag to ave.
BY rivers of their fathers gore
His first-born laurels grew,
And well he deemed the sons would pour
Their lives for glory, too.
Full man. a norther's breath has swept
Ger Angostura's plain
And long the plying sky has wept
Above the moldering slain.
The aven's scream, or eagles flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone awakes each sullen height
That froWned DER that dread fray.
Sons of the dark and bloody ground,
You must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the needless air.
Your W proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave:
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes of her brave.
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many a bloody shield:
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly or them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The hero's sepulcher.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead,
Dear as the blood we gave,
No impious footsteps here sha! tread
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall glory be forgot

is almost certain, therefore, that the gov
eminent will be compelled during the cal
endar year 1909 to face an actual treasury
deficiency
The appropriations of the original Bill

deduct from this total S4S2, 562, 0S3. Al

the grand total the liabilities on account Of

therefore. to the ordinary appropriations

Sipilar instances that are still more re-
lnarkable have been fouul in recent years.
