Still Another View.

@ ONFIRMING what the Standard
~. said few days ago, you can
get something new and fresh
about Alger, in the way of newspaper
talk, as often at least as once a day.
The Pingree incident has furnished the
paragraph writer's with material that
will last a good while. And in more
extended talk. the editors find. that
Ayers latest combination involves
consequences that are likely to be of
considerable account in the white
house circle.
For instance, it is reported, on what
appears to be pretty good authority,
that Senator Mcmillan has carried the
case to the president. Mr. Mcmillan
is at the head of the regular republican
organization in Michigan He has
been the open, helpful faithful friend
of the president from the start, and in
all that has been done in the admins
tration's interest he has been seconded
by Senator Burrows These two men
do not propose to tolerate an Alger-
Pingree combination. 1t is said that
Mcmillan has informed the president
to that effect: in fact they are saying
in Washington that if Alger is to be
permitted to remain in the cabinet and
promote his recent combination with
Pingree, having the senatorship in
view, that result means war upon the
administrat ton by Mcmillan and Bur-
| rows.
| Alger has a mysterious pull with
! President Mckinley; rather he seems
to have an unaccountable grip on the
| president. The public does not pretend
| to know how this comes about, but AL
| ger knows and he evidently works the
| thing for his own benefit. The country
! has no reason whatever to be proud OF
| Mcmillan, but the idea is that, in the
| senate, nobody could possibly be worse
| than Alger
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-06-30

Mckinley were not available, still next
wear certainly is not Rooseve1t's year;
the machine will be Hanna's, and il
there's one man in public life whom
Hanna likes less than all other repub
licans, that man is Roosevelt. And
with good reason. 1t happened that
before the Spanish war Roosevelt was
assistant secretary of the navy. He
was for doing something; he would
have brought on the war in few min
utes. He was a thorn in the flesh for
the people in the administration circle.
At first, when he entered the service,
they were glad to be rid of him. At
forwards they lamented the opportunity
they gave him, because he was taking
all the shine off of the ponderous, slow
going, mistake making Skaters who
were the administrations ideals. Worst
of all, Roosevelt was plainly at the
bottom of most of the exposures that
brought the infamy of the Alger war
department to public attention. Hanna
has no use for Teddy" Roosevelt.
In view of the demonstrations that
have been incident to Roosevelt's re-
cent swings through the Middle West
and the South, the use of his name in
presidential talk is natural enough.
But it is idle talk-Roosevelt knows it,
and there is no surprise in the state
ment he made yesterday, which is that
he is not candidate for the presiden-
cy, but that he favors Mckinley. Those
who know Governor Roosevelt are well
aware that he never was justly accused
Of having very much political discre-
ton Still, he knows enough to put two
and two together and get an answer
that talles with the table in the artth-
metic; and he knows that, assuredly,
next year is not his year.

In a New Place.

TT appears that the white mans bur
den has broken out in new place
during the past twenty-four hours
it has proved to be grievously heavy
affair for the government of Belgium to
pack. The press dispatches mention a
storm of verbosity" within the halls
of legislation, a shower Of rocks on the
thoroughfares and unavailing efforts of
the military arm of the government to
enforce order.
The lack of news that tells what 1t is
all about or how it all started leaves
the public in darkness as to the real
cause of the outbreak-it simply APP
pears to have been Brussels turn to
have something of the sort. The comi-
cal part of the dispatch from the scene
of the disorder is the portion of it that
informs us that King Leopold has had
serious conference with several of his
official advisers.
This King Leopold is a specimen of
the ivine-right coterie whose gifts and
graces and airs Kaiser William of Ger
many has lately been marking as ex-
hibits for the attention of the delegates
at The Hague. Leopold the Second
is siXty-odd years old-he is the brother
of Carlotta, whose misadventures with
Macmillan, in Mexico, left her a widow
and insane. Leopold has been on the
throne, as Belgium's king, these thirty
years and more. He's royal old rake.
The wonder is that he was present in
Brussels al a serious conference about
anything; usually, when he is wanted,
his prime ministers scurry all over
Europe and find him in the company
of some bag picked up almost any
where.
1t is indeed remarkable that.in these
days any intelligent nation should per-
NIT itself to be compelled to recognize
as sovereign ruler a divine-right mon
strosity of this kings type. But they
do it; and there is nothing in the dis
patches descriptive of the newest out
break in Brussels indicating that there
is any particular objection on the part
of the rioters to the regime of this
| crown-carrying old libertine.

rTALY'S former premier wrote in all
sincerity, no doubt, but it isn't at
all likely that the delegates at The
Hague will take him seriously or gov
ern their action by what he suggests.
Crispi is for peace and harmony, but
he urges that there is only one way
whereby that condition of affairs could
tbe brought about There is" he writes,
"only one way for Europe to save it
self from the horrors of war in store
emulate the example of the United
States and make one grand republic of
all the countries of Europe. This will
efface the frontiers which diplomacy
has created, changing them into state
boundaries"
This proposition doubtless impressed
most of the delegates at The Hague
as Crispis roundabout way of saying
that the congress will come / nothing.
The Italian eX-premier knows, as all
the delegates at The Hague know, that
the grand republic of Europe" is
something so purely ideal and romantic
that a group of statesmen and diplo-
able were they seriously to confer
about it The men now assembled to
discuss the cars plans will be a long,
long time dead before the animosities
and jealousies and rivalries and racial
difficulties that now are the spring of
conduct will be rooted out so as to
make sane the discussion of the repub-
lie which some men dream about. In
fact the differences that have already
been brought to the surface during the
discussions at The Hague show how
hopelessly far away the time must be
when the Crispi scheme could be seri-
ously taken up.
The fact is that in respect TO its
central idea, the congress has already
gone to pieces. The preposterous an
nouncement made in behalf of the Ger
man empire was that the fiction of the
divine right of kings sets boundaries to
what can be done by the Kaiser. That
announcement sounds ridiculous and is
of course, preposterous. but it proved
to be "a good-enough Morgan for the
uses of the Kaiser in his determination
to thwart the ruler of the Russias. II
is apparent that Germany's emperor
has "queered the whole business" of
the congress. The essential factor in
the czar's programme related to dis
armament. All other schemes were Of
secondary account. VIGOROUSLY, the
ear wanted the nations to consider
means Of reducing the armies and ma
yies of Europe, or at least of putting a
stop to their increase, and of limiting
the use Of weapons and appliances pc

To Prepare a Welcome.

~ EYOND a doubt the movement
that was started last night in
Butte will result in some suit
able form of reception for the members
of the First Montana regiment, when
they return home 1t was the choice
of the volunteers representing the
states of the West, so General Otis
wired some time ago, that they be
mustered out on their arrival at San
Francisco.
Whatever suits the soldiers in this
respect will certainly suit the folks at
home but, under this arrangement, it
is not easy to say just how a fitting
reception for the regiment can be ar
ranged. The meeting held last night
in Butte served the purpose of start
ing things from the Montana end, in
anticipation of the return of the volun-
teers.
Ex-Mayor Henry Mueller presided at
the meeting, and if he is made MEM
Der of the committee to devise plans,
we may be sure that the committee will
find way and that the right thing
will be done. But this is the public
affair, and the Standard bespeaks for
the committee the hearty support of all
the citizens of Montana in the further
ance of such plans as shall be reported
for the welcome home to be extended
to the Montana volunteers.

culiarly painful and destructive in
their effects.
This project will not be seriously con-
sdered. Whatever else the congress
does must be of minor account because
the world cannot take as in good faith
peace palaver that is not accompanied
with works in the shape of an inten-
ton at least TO reduce the permanent
military and naval establishments.
