given and an mixing of tne true
S ate of affairs has reached the

Several shameful facts have
been established, among them
being the m~inistrations of mercy

toring because he found it more
profitable TO administer to his
country'S defenders. Another
fact has been establlshel and that
is the neglect of the wounded and
fever stricken soldiers in the
trenches around Santiago. For
twelve hours. in some cases, they
were allowed to lay unattended,
subjected to all the horrors Of tn It
tropical pest hole. Nor is this all.
These horrors were repeated on
board the transports. Delicacies
intended for the suffering priyates
were devoured by gilt-braided
officers. And further, the en-
balmed meat scandal which has
of late been made public through
a disagreement of the administra-
ton officials to hush it up throws
some light on the quality of the
rations dealt out to the volunteers
in Cuba and Porto Rico. ..It

about for he attempted to stomach

and pestilence.
The UNION might go on and
name many other facts which have
been established by this white
washing investigation, but a suhi-
Gent number has been cited to
forever dull the glory of our boast
ed "war for humanity" Dead
men tell no tales, the saying goes,
and the victims Of Algerism, Of
Huidekoferism, of incompetency
andof mlsmanagement are unable
to testify in their own behalf.

The Church and Missionary Work.

~ tllC oOSE wig man, the man
who is in the habit of looking mat
tiers squarely in the face and see
ing them as they really are, the
church and its present relation to
the great masses of people pre-
sent. an interesting study. Stats
tics for 1898 show that the increase
in church membership in the Unit
ed States tailed to keep pace with
the increase in population. In
other words, the churches Of the
COUNTRY lost ground last year.
Some Of the older and more popu
lar religious denominations showed
a marked decrease in membership,
| while others. newer and less pol u
lar, showed an increase, but the
grand total made plain the fact
that during 1898 the church lost
ground.
1.-The world for Christi is the
watchword of the church., while
millions of our People W. dark
en- a sanctuary door. The church
going pc pulation is becoming con-
fined TO the classes which have
Jared better than their fellows in
the struggle for a livelihood and
more. Deplorable as the fact may
seem, there is a feeling abroad
among our less prosperous popu
lation that "the church is no place
for me- To one who ming'es
with the great throng of people in
every day life the existence of this
feeling becomes manifest. The
church is not reaching the millions
who by fate and force of circum-
stances are stationed farther down
the lldder. America never pre-
sented a field which needed prac,
teal christian work and sincere
missionary labor worse than the
one she presents today. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are
sent into foreign lands annually for
missionary work among the hea-
then. Cargoes of bibles 90 with
it, and with the bibles and church
money goes enough distilled dam
nation to blight and defeat all the
good that might be done.
The real field for work lies at
our w doors first. The ccndi-
tons at home are not being met.
We prohibit the sale of liquor to
our Indians at home, while we
send missionaries, bibles and rum
all in the same cargo to the more
barbarous races across the seas.
We might better keep our money
at home and labor to rescue those
at our own doors until the condi-
ton of our own people changes.
These columns recorded The "cel-
ebration'' of Christmas in Chicago,
New York and other large cities
by the giving of aims dinners to
over 200, o unfortunates who
had not the price of a meal and to
whom the comforts of a home
were unknown. Foreign missions
are all right--after the starving at
home have been fed and the shiv
ering forms Of our W people have
been clothed.
While THE UNION fully realizes
the good wrought through the
medium of our churches, and that
our future would indeed be dark
without this influence, yet it be.

church is losing ground in Ameri-
ca, and it further believes that as

on which the constitution is found
ed may finally triumph, but the
stern fact remains that the whole
contest IN this country is n be-
tween the c~lnsses representing the
trusts, corporations and mOnled
interests, and the millions who
toil--the interests which cause ma
tons to rise, prosper and grow IN
TO pow4r. We may tie o. the
names of political parties, but that
will not change the complexion Of
the proposition in the least.
That no ordinary effort will be
sufficient to overthrow and defeat
the rule Of the trusts, corporations
and the monied interests as reL-
resented by the republican party
is a fact that might better be adj
mitled now than during the pre-
.imlnary skirmish Of the great con
est Of next year. Millions of mon
ey will be placed in the hands OF
the republican commanders from
Golfers OF the trusts and corpora
tons. These interests will stand
solldly back Of the party which has
fostered aud protected them, just
as they did in 1896. Co,rcion
and intimidation will be the rule
where money fails to accomplish
the desired end. The allied forces
which are to champion the rights
of the masses may well consider
every phase Of the task before
them.
The money interests which have
waxed strong through the robbing
processes made possible by class
legislation present a solid and
united front. There is little way
ering in their ranks. To them the
national constitution is a back
number, and the finger of defiant
contempt is snapped in the face Of
Justice and the law. There is one
way, and nj only, in which to
meet and vanquish the opposition
as represented by the republican
party. The organizations which
champion popular rights and equal
privileges must present a front
equally as united and unwavering
as that of the opposition. There
is no other way to win. We may
be accused of "selling out to the
democrats" but The UNION would
rise above partisanship and bury
party lines every day in the year
!, it by so doing it could help in max
ing into law those principles in
!, which it believes and to which i;
clings. The time is fast ripening
for republican defeat and the tri-
umph of The people. To divide
forces is to do the bidding Of every
plutocrat who has fattened him
self upon the fruits of his country
mems toll, and Of every insignif
can't follower of that policy.
Bryan democracy is. not retrac-
ing the steps it has taken. Its
principles as enunciated in that
new declaration Of independence of
1896 and echoed in similar docu-
ments adopted by the silver repub-
|iican and peoples parties at St.
Louis the same year point TO the
same goal. There must be no
wavering, no backward step. The

Robert D. Grant has Resigned
AS Manager
OF THE PARROT PROPERTIES
The Copper Stocks Were a Little
More Active Today But Are
Still Weak.

X. ID. Grant, who for the past three
years, has been manager of the Parrot
properties in Butte resigned that position
and the properties were turned over
to the new purchasers, the Amalgamated
Copper Co. His family will leave for Con-
necticut in a few days to reside perma-
nently. Mr.. Grant will visit Arizona and
Mexico where with Messrs. Farrell and
Wallace he holds large mining interests.
At the time of the transfer of the Par
rot to the Standard Oil people, Mr.. Grant
rendered his resignation, but 1t their ur-
gent request he consented to remain in
charge until affairs could be settled up.
Mr.. Grant has not yet been informed who
his successor will be but he is of the opin-
ion that Donald Gillis who has so ably
handled the mines Of the company during
the past year will be retained.
Mr.. Grant will always be pleasantly re-
membered by his many Butte friends.
Sixteen yqears ago he arrived in Butte
with limited but indomitable
courage and the ability to work. He
worked for several years as an operator
for the Westerns Union Telegraph COM
pany and resigned that position to take a
position with the Parrot company, some
ten years ago. His promotion was rapid
and wei! deserved. He was soon made as
sistant manager Of the huge concern and
upon the retirement of Mr.. Gaylord,
three years ago succeeded that gentle
man, and since then ~inaugurated several
changes which placed the Parrot in the
front rank Of Montana producers. Mr..
Grant was idolized by the employees Of
the mines and smelters who will greatly
regret his departure from Butte.
Mr.. Grant engineered the deal by which
the ~Amalgamated company secured pos
session Of the Parrot on the basis Of
about S11, SOC, 900, for the properties.
1t is said that the Colorado Co., prop
critics were also today turned over to the
new company Of which Marcus Daily is
president.

THE COPPER SHARES.

The copper mining share market show
ed a little more life today than 1t any
time during the week The trading in
coppers since last Saturday is said to
have been the dullest seen in years on
the Boston Stock Exchange. Appear
ances indicated that all Of the buyers had
gone on a vacation together ana nobody
wanted to- buy on a declining market
1t is anticipated that with the present
low prices, however, stocks will be a big
temptation to buyers. The decline was
not caused by any bad news or any
weakness Of the copper market. So far AS
is known the copper situation is just as
strong now as at any time since the re-
cent boom IN copper stocks. There is a
good market for the metal at profits of
about 100 per cent to the producer, which
should make the copper mining industry
popular. 1t is believed hat the end of
the break has been reached.
Boston & Montana was the most life
less of all the coppers today, reaching 1851
at one time and closing at $3.50. Butte &
Boston sold around the 80 mark closing at
1922.
Parrot reached $62 during the trading
but closed at SOL.
Utah Con also made a faint squirt to
$42%and closed a fraction below that.

ceola 5000; Tamarack 222.
