We presume the Helena Independ-
ent, ny il is now the personal organ
Of w. A. Clark, will inderse his views
AZ to a tariff ON raw materials. 1t Is
well known that the Independent
has been about the raukcst free trade
paper published in the west, and has
v contained a line editorially In
favor of a tariff on raw materials
during its existence. Anything that
pertained to protection was a delu-
sion and an evil to be stunned, and
columns have been written to COM
bat the arguments of Republican
papers on this question. How
strange would be this conversion.
Yet not so strange, after all. The
Democratic party il a good deal like
the Spaniards, who are about two
centuries behind the more enlightened
nations. The party reminds one OF
the man riding backwards on the
cars and who never sees an object
until he has passed 1t. II protection
on raw materials Is good thing now
it was a good thing six years ago
The party will move up to the posi-
tion occupied by the Republicans II
time, after stultifying and classifying
itself by opposition. 1t always has
done so and it cannot change III
character, any more than a leopard
can change it's spots.

Dangers Of the Grip.

The greatest danger Of la grippe is
Of its resulting in pneumonia. Ii rea-
sonal lie care Is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens Of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe we haveyet
to learn Of a single case having re-
suited III pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that this remedy is acer-
tain preventive Of that dangerous
disease. 1t will cure la grippe in less
time than any other treatment. 1t

Stand by the Gambling Law.

There is great surprise, yet there
should rot bc much. considering re-
cent events, that "a majority Of the
ways and means committee OF the
house should report iavorably on the
bill To repeal the gambling law.
While there il but little danger of the
hin passing the senate, il is Il shame
upon the state that ii should be ia
vurHbly reported 10y a committee.
We are glad 20 note that Representa-
tive Hedges Of this county is OppOs-
ing the vile proposition with all of
his ability. Ii the gambling law is
not enforced In the Sudums and Go.
morruhs Of This state it is because the
peace officers are supported Ivy Il de-
PRAYED public sentiment. or because
it Is made au object for them to neg
let their duties.
When II thing is licensed it is given
IA measure OF respectabiiity and in
that way catches a great many men
aud youths who would not attempt
anything unlawful. Thereareplenty
OF young men in every community
who are willing to admit that they
have saved some money since gam
bling was prohibited in this state.
Ii nothing more was accomplished
but the suppression OF public gam
bling the law should remain in force.
But gambling under the most favor
able conditions OF secrecy can bemade
extremely hazardous if officers Of the
law are fearless and honest in the
discharge Of their duties. When they
are not, let them he displaced in dis
grace 10y those who will enforce the
law. The law should stand.

COGHLANS CASE

President and Secretary Long i'm Con-

Replied to Departments Inquiry.

Washington. April 26.-The cabinet
had an unusually long session yesterday,
and. after most OF the other members
had gone away. Secretary Long re-
mained closetcd with the president. on
leaving the White House he was asked
for the latest developments in the Cogh-
Ian case. He said that an answer to
his note of inquiry had been received
from Captain coghlan. but it's contents
he would not be able 10 divulge for the
present.
Action would be taken on IT, undoubt-
edly. within two or three days. but mean

required consideration Jointly by the
president. the secretary or state and
himself, and he did not consider that
II would be proper TO discuss the subject
till definLSe course had been determined
upon.
AT the navy department the impress
sion was widespread that Coghlan
would plead that he spoke at the Union
League club thoughtlessly. and after the
dinner had reached a point when the
diners tongues had been pretty well
loosened: and that the second outbreak
was caused largely by Indignation at

There are two considerations which
make IL seem expedient to proceed slow

the captain declines TO be chastised as
10 his utterances and holds his peace as
Rear Admiral Meade did when called to
account. 1T appears as If the department
would be powerless TO proceed further,
and the discipline which ought 10 be ad-
ministered to him as a proper sign OF
respect 10 a friendly nation will fail.
The second consideration is that IL "A
courtmartial We're ordered the captain
might plead Justification for his Of
fense and insist upon Bringing the whole
Manila story into the public prints, this
being sure To lead TO further intcrna-
tional embarrassments.
