MAMMOTH IVORY.

It is likely that African ivory will grow scarcer and seareer, and if there were no other source of supply this beautiful material would soon cost SC much it would be invaluable. How ever. the frozen lands of Siberia coh- tain an apparently inexhaustible store of ivory, the product of the mammoth. Vast numbers of these huge and bulky animals are frozen in the ice and snow.
 Mammoth ivory was known to the aneients and for centuries past has been an article of trade and commerce. In 1921 a Yakut brought 1000 pounds of ivory from the New Siberian islands and in the years after many thousand pounds were disposed of.
 Boatloads of tusks have been seen on the Lena and Yenisei rivers. In 1840 Dr. Middendorff visited the coun- try and estimated that the annual out put of Siberian ivory was 10000 pounds, representing 100 mammoths, so that the total number of animals whose remains have been exported since the conquest of Siberia must be between 0,000 and 3o.0Q0.

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Before the members of the Sixth leg
islative assembly had time to escape from
Helena, after the close of the sixty-day
joust. Governor Smith expressed the
opinion that it might be necessary to call
an extraordinary session to provide suf-
ficient revenues to enable the state to do
business during the next two years.
While the legislature found ample time
to pass bills to legalize prize fighting and
perpetuate gambling it paid little atten-
ton to the support of legitimate state
institutions.
Unless tina body is reconvened by the
governor, to do the work it hould have
done during it's sixty days Of horse play,
it appears that some of our public insti-
tutions must close down. Was ever such
a picture of rank incompetency presented
toths people of this state?
After the senatorship was disposed of
the supreme end of the legislature was
to enact into law every corporation mea-
sure presented, and afford adequate pro-
lection to gamblers n prize fighters.
In the performance of these duties, the
state institutions and the support of the
state government were lost sight of. The
| supreme ends for which the majority of
the members had been elected were
reached when the gamblers, prize fighters
and corporations were properly taken
care of. and it was deemed unnecessary
to waste valuable time looking after the
educational AMI elemosinary institutions
of the state.
The incorruptible yahoos of the Sixth
legislative assembly evidently had SO
much confidence in Governor Smith that
they proposed to let him run the state
government in his own way, and pay the
expenses out Of his munificent salary as
chief executive. Whether the governor
will do this remains to be seen. He may
decide to get even by going back into
the populist's party and take the state
government with him.

An interesting story is told by Prof,
Dean c.. Worcester of Michigan Univer
sity, who has just been appointed by
President Mckinley as one of the mem
bers of the Philippine commission. He
has made several tours through theP Phil
ippines, and in one of his books relates
that a native of the islands begged from
him a copy of Judge containing a cartoon
of ex-President Cleveland, portraying him
in the garb of a friar, with a tin halo sup
ported by an upright from the bach of
his collar. Mr.. Cleveland was represented
in an attitude of devotion, with hands
clasped and tears rolling down his cheeks.
Prof. Worcester did not understand why
the Filipino begged so earnestly for the
colored print, but after returning from a
hunting expedition of a few days the
matter was explained. He found the car
toon of the eX-president hung at one end
of the hut in a neat bamboo frame, and In
the evening the father and mother and all
the children fell on their knees and Offer
ed their devotions before 1t. Prof. Worces-

CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIATIONS.

This has become, essentially, a billion
dollar country. It's phenomenal growth
in population, in the development of it's
resources, and in it's progress and aC-
emulation of wealth, necessitates the
biennial expenditure of money which
cannot longer be measured by nine fig
ures. The tenth was added during the
ifty-frst congress. 1t was again added
during the congress just closed. The war
| added nearly five hundred millions to the
national outlay of treasure, but the ike
| and current expenses of the nation during
the three sessions of the late congress
only forced the figures slightly above
those reached by the ffty-frst.
According to the statement made by
Chairman Cannon of the ways and means
committee, the increase in appropriations
Of the last congress over those made by
the ffty-fourth is more than accounted
for by increases under eight items alone,
namely, for pensions, for the postal SER
vice, for river n harbors, including
work under contracts previously author
ginning the work of the 18th census. for
the Paris exposition, for new public build
ings and for payment of judgments rem
dered against the government on account
of French spoilation under the Bowman
act. These appropriations more than dis
sipate the apparent increase in the ordi-
nary appropriations of the last congress
over those made by the preceding one.
Notwithstanding this statement made
by Chairman Cannon, a howl of Eek
~travagance' will go up all along the
democratic line from Maine to California
and from Minnesota to Florida. 1t is
quite possible tina in the absence of any
thing else which the party can magnify
into a political issue, it will fall back on
republican extravaganza" as exemplified
by the fifty-ffth congress. That party
can offer no objection to the conduct of
the war and to the expenses incident to
its prosecution, for it claims to be as
patriotic as the most patriotic, but it
claims a monopoly of economy-of the
| Cleveland brand-and may make 1t ar
issue.

SITUATION AT THE PHILIPPINES.

The insurgents are quite active around
Manila, but thus far have gained no ad-
vantage over the American troops. They
have had several brushes recently with
the latter, in every instance being com-
PEELED to retire with considerable loss,
the Americans suffering but compare
lively few casualties. The reservoir and
water works, near Manila, are the center
of rebel demonstrations, but the Amer
leans are holding them in good shape.
The American troops which recently
landed at the island of Negroes have
taken complete possession of the island,
and anticipate no trouble in holding it,
as the inhabitants are submissive and
apparently contented with the outlook.
That island may be put down as all
right.
General Otis is making preparations
along their lines. His object is to drive
them back into the interior before the
rainy season sets in, thus enabling his
own troops to occupy peaceful posses
sion of the territory they nave acquired.
Anticipating this move upon the part OF
the Americans, the insurgents are throw
ing up defenses in every direction, and
otherwise preparing to resist the Ameri-
oan advance. The insurgents are also

WHY SHE is

Dewey wants the oregon, ilot pecaose
he apprehended foreign interference in
his plans for the solution of the Philip
pine imbroglio-not anything of the kind.
He wants the big Oregon in order to be
in a position to let loose some of his ships
| for service elsewhere among the Islands.
This is the conclusion arrived at by
Washington authorities. 1t is not
thought that Germany will put anything
in the way of the United States at
Manila. Such is the inference drawn
from the recent speech of Baron Won
Bulow in the reichstag. 81
Again, it would be impolitic for Dewey
to weaken his fleet for the purpose of re-
connoitering. as Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers would infer that the withdrawing
of battleships from their present posi-
tons was a sign of weakness upon his
part, or an evidence Of abandoning his
position altogether. But it is certain
that Dewey's reasons for wanting the
Oregon were good ones, for he is not a
man to act without convictions of right,
or to c%onjure dangers out of dreams.
If the Filipinos are not convinced of
the friendly purpose of the United
States, that their army is at the Philip
pines for the sole purpose to establish
order and to develop the highest degree
of self-government consistent with
order, it is because they will not believe
the truth, or they have permitted an am
bilious leader to hypnotic them into a
false conception of the purpose of this
country. Aguinaldo and his troops have
not, from the first, been on speaking
terms with the Americans. They have
been waging a bitter and relentless war
against them. Therefore, If the troops
desired to learntthe true inwardness of
the fight against them they are not given
the opportunity to learn it.
Though they understood their relations
to this country, and should express a
willingness to come to some understand
ing with it, the way the situation now
presents itself neither Dewey nor Otis
can make any terms with Aguinaldo
without recognizing in him an author
ity beyond hat which enables him to DIS
arm his followers and send them to their
homes. $50"
But there are Filipinos who are not
supporting A%guinaldo, and there may be
those in his army who desire to learn
whether hey have. the right "cinch". on
the situation or whether they are de-
Iuded. Now it is of the highest import
ance that these men should be made tc
understand what are the real purposes
of the United States. 1t cannot be denied
that Aguinaldo has worked upo the
credulity of his followers and made them
believe that they can expect no better
treatment at the hands of the United
States than they received from Spain
Now it seems clear that the duty of thi:
government is. to ydispel that belief as fas
as possible. OF course, the whole matter
is left with the president and the officer:
upon the ground. They may use mora
suasion'' or bullets to emphasize thei
manner Of conversion, but their duty i
obvious and imperative, and no possibl
means to teach the Filipinos where the!
stand should be neglected.

WHERE IT RESTS.

h&HN
The persistent efforts of the democratic
press to shift responsibility for he con-
duct of the late: famented legislative as
sembly would Be amusing, did they not
show a 'cowardly and craven spirit.
Scarcely had that body registered its
rhoice for United States senator before
the Anaconda Standard discovered that
the republican party, represented by a
mere handful of votes in the legislature,
was responsible for the election Of the
Hon. W. A. Clark. Now. the Helena In
dependent is equally sure that the repub-
1ican party is responsible for the corpor-
alton legislation ascribed to that de1ec-
table body, merely because the small re-
publican minority did not prevent the
democratic majority from making a holy
show Of itself. -
With an overwhelming majority in the
legislative assembly-with the power to
dc whatever it deemed best, without ref
erenceGto republicans, silver republicans
or populists, the democrats not only ad-
vertise; their political cowardice in these
they confess themselves ashamed OF the
work performed by their party in that
body. 1t did not lay within the power of
the republican party to perfect good leg
~islation or prevent bad. 1t was wholly
within the province of the democracy tc
pass any law for the good of the com.
monwealth, and to prevent the enactment
of any law calculated to impair public in.
t~erests.
Credit for good legislation and respon.
sibility for bad must rest with the polit,
zeal party in absolute and unquestionet
control of the legislative and administra

1t is something childish, or worse, for thu

d~ispleased with legislative results, to at

it appears the insurgents are not a happy

When the reinforcements arrive that
are now on the way, Dewey and Otis will
have Al, 900 fighting men to oppose the
Filipinos. That number is considered
sufficient for the purpose the admins
tration has in view, and j~ustifies it in
sending the volunteers, now there, to

their defeat, against the insurgents. The
