GREATLY EMBARRASSED.

One cannot review the present situation
in Montana without d feeling for the
democracy of this state that is almost
akin to pity. The leading newspaper or
gans of that party, as we'll as it's most
distinguished orators, have of late made
a strong, vigorous cutlery against COM
binations of capital and trusts. In line
with the declarations of Mr.. Bryan, they
have insisted that the next campaign
should be waged against the aggressive
ness of the great combinations of wealth.
ing democrats of Montana have seized
upon the cue given them by Mr.. Bryan
II proclaimed themselves feminist the
organizations of capital that threaten to
control the output and regulate the prices
of the commodity or product with which
they have to do. Some of the editorials
in the leading democratic newspapers,
anent this great issue, would cause the
tears to flow from the eyes of a wooden
indian, could that sculptured aborigine
be made to realize hat the crack Of doom
is so near at hand!
But, alas, What have we hear? Scarce
" have the cold chills ceased to perco-
late through the vertebrae of the Mon
tana public. in anticipation of the horrors
which the democracy has sworn to pre-
vent. when there flashes upon this state
the startling intelligence that a great
copper trust has been organized, with
the Rothschilds and the Standard Oil
behind it, with $500, 900, 900 worth
of copper properties in the pool, n with
the wires all laid to regulate the product

RIGHT ABOUT FACE.

Last summer the Butte Miner made
the fight Of it's life to prevent the silver
forces of this state from fusing for the
fall campaign. Sunday morning. in dis
cussing democratic political prospects for
1900, it says:
The Miner is not advocating the rejec-
ton of the aid of any body of voters who
can assist in destroying the present sin
gle gold standard. @
Oh, no. The Miner will permit the
silver forces to Cooperate in 1900, though
it saw nothing but disaster in such a
course last fall. The Helena I%ndepend-
ent has already called Senator Teller a
grand old man for advocating fusion in
1900, and pretty soon the Anaconda
Standard will fall into line and advocate
the cooperation Of the silver parties. A
fine gang Of flipperty-loppers. to be sure
"a gang whose chestnuts will not be
drawn out of the fire by the silver men
who question their political honesty and
distrust their purposes.

BRAVE ~ JOURNALISTS.

Only a few short weeks ago the Butte
Miner was vigorously declaring that a
great copper combine was about to take
place that would bring unutterable ruin
to this city and state! With equal vigor
the Anaconda Standard declared that no
such combination would be effected, and
that the country was perfectly safe! In
their Geographic columns Sunday each
of these great family newspapers am
nounced that the copper combination had
at last been brought about. But neither
ing or the next, to refer to the matter
editorially. .
An event of widespread interest to the
city, the state and the nation, is wholly
ignored in the opinion department of
these two great leaders of public thought.
Having taken strong grounds against
combinations of capital and trusts, nei-
Their of these brave democratic organs
dared tackle one of them when brought
face to face with it. Our esteemed con-
temporaries are pretty fair marksmen
when shooting at long range, but as
shoulder hitters-well. they occasionaI-
ly need spOnging off.

The Helena Independent made a strong
fight against House Bill 1872, the passage
of which made smooth sailing for the big
copper combine now organized. But the
paper will "draw it mild" hereafter, in
asmuch as it's patron saint, the Hon. w.
A. Clark, is in the deal, and is said to
be about to erect a palatial home for that
newspaper, some 1872 stories high, upon
the former site of a livery stable near a
leading saloon in the Capital City.

TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN.

While the democratic press tried and
convicted Mr.. Quay Of Pennsylvania, in
advance of the hearing in court which
resulted in his acquittal, they seem loath
to discuss the case of one Dick Croker,
the eX-pugilist VINO is now serving as
leader of the New York democracy. When
this Mr.. Croker, as manipulation in chlet
of the wires that operate the Tammany
machine, trotted out Mr.. Van Wyck for
mayor of Greater New York a few
months since, he received the most gen.
erous applause from western democrats.
Dickey. old boy, was swimming in a per-
feet sea of enconiums. His man Friday,
the mayor-to-be, was to stand for free
coinage and all that, and the political
goose. was swinging at an elevate alti-
tudinum.
1t will be distinctly remembered that
Montana furnished it's full quota of adj
mirers of the Tammany chief and his
candidate for mayor. In fact, some of
the leading democrats in this state
thought they helped to elect Van Wyck
at the time, though they are now willing
that drop. Dick is now in trouble, and
why don't they go to his rescue? Like
too many other noted men in his party
his weakness is gas. He has confessedly
used his leadership for private gain,
which has, of course, greatly shocked his
Montana friends. No Montana democrat
or use his political power for personal
gain, hence the disposition in this state
among the followers Of jefferson to let
poor Dick Croker hoe his own row When
he gets into trouble.
For some time past the great Tammany
has been under fire before a legis-
lative investigating committee, and has
evadcd the most damaging disclosures by
refusing to answer questions relative to
millions from "rake-offs" in the NUM-
cipai government. Under the constitu-
ton of his state he may yet be sent to
the penitentiary for refusing to answer
the questions p~ropounded by the board
of inquiry.
The Inter Mountain, however, will not
prejudice the case. There is good demo-
cratic authority, right here in Montana,
that Dick Croker was a good enough nan
a little while ago to name a candidate for
mayor of New York-a man who stood
for the free coinage of silver-and it will
not do to say that he has overworked his
investments in gas, until there is an ex-
plosion.
II is true that Tweed made a few slight
errors in his bookkeeping, and then fol-
one or two honest men to get into office,
and as a result of such indiscretions died
a disappointed man. John Kelly, another
Tammany leader, played the game of
New York politics on a narrower margin
and had the good fortune to die outside
of Jail. Just where Dick Croker will lane
remains to be seen. Having done what
he could for the free coinage movement,
by making Van Wyck mayor, it is really
too bad that the democratic press of this
state does not throw a few consolation
editorial bouquets at the unfortunate
maniDulatOr Of gas stock, Possibly
some of the democratic newspaper men
are mad because they were not invited
to that ten-dollar anti-silver banquet. Be
of their own, until "Richard is himself
again." without borrowing any over the
future of Mr.. Quay.

Girl Chokes a Lynx to Death.

From the Kansas City Journal.
George j. Manassa of this city, who
has been spending the past two months
ait Kingman. Ariz., tells an interesting
story of a case of heroism in a young
girl that came under his observation.
He said that one day while there a
ranChman, j. A. Carrow, brought into
the town for medical treatment his son
Murray, years old, and his daughter
II years old. The girls arms We're
frightfully lacerated by the teeth and
claws Of some animal and the same
rough usage showed upon the boy in
wounds upon the arms, hands and the
breast and shoulders. Upon inquiry he
learned that Mr.. Carrow was wealthy
ranch owner living about 20 miles
north of the place, and that the two
children had been lacerated by lynx
that had attacked the boy and had
been strangled to death by the girl.
The boy" Mr.. Manassa said, was
playing in a swing in an almond or
chard near the house, when ferocious
lynx sprang upon him and pulled him
to the ground. A life and death strus-
gle then took place between the little
fellow and the animal. Taking the
lynx by the ear and one leg, he sue
Ceeded in throwing it to the ground and
holding it there, screaming for help.
The lynx was biting his hand in a hor-
rible manner, but with Spartan cour-
age he held on until his sister came.
The animal had gotten the better of the
boy, when the girl, with only her naked
hands as weapons, gave battle.
she struggled with the Infatuated
brute. and although he clawed and bit
her she never released her hold until
she had 1T pionioned to the ground by
her knee and death grip on its throat
She never released her hold until the
brute was dead; she choked it to DEATH
Then she did not faint of go into hys-
teric. but she bound up the wounds Of
her brother and then taking him in her
arms carried him into the house. Their
clothes were almost entirely torn from
the two children, and after their bat
tie they were covered with blood that
flowed from their wounds. The animal
was the largest that had ever been seen
in the country, and its pelt will be pre-
served as an interesting trophy by the
Carrow family. The girl was greatly
praised for her valiant conduct, and one
Of the newspapers of the town, in writ
ing of her heroism, said She should re-
ceive the government medal for BRAY
cry. for no Drawer act than this is rec
orded.

This girl, hardly out of her teens,
unknown, humble, virtuous, the mis-
tress of a school at one of the far
northern Italian villages, which even
the wheels of a train had not reached,
without any editorial flourish of trump
cts, without powerful patronage, with
out benevolent and interested friends,
with only bundle of leaves sewn to-
gether in a white volume, has succeed
ed in gaining a literary triumph, not
in her own country aiUne, but through
out the greater part of Europe. In
every corner of Italy, indeed, voices are
raised in wonder and praise at the SUI
preme power of the poems-their
strength and beauty-that have had
their birth in the heart and brain of
the schoolmistress of Motta- Visconti.

Advantage of Time-Clocks.

Henry A. Castle, auditor for the
Post-office Department, deprecates the
action of Congress in putting its stamp
of disapproval upon the time clocks, and
so legislating that hereafter they will
not be part of the departmental SER
vice. To reporter for the Star Auditor
Castle said:
Speaking from the experience of this
office. the time. clock has been most ex-
cellent institution. 1t has regulated bad
clerks better than any system previously
tried, and brought about system OF eff
cheney that was not dreamed possible.
When the clocks were first put in gave
the clerks three months to get accustomed
to them. In that period carefully ex-
amined the record and found that fully
one-third of the clerks were in the habit
OF arriving after 9 o'clock. In large
force a few minutes hardness by several
clerks day equals the services of clerk
or two. The majority OF the conscien-
tous clerks are in favor of the clocks.
They get Iull credit for the overtime they
work, a thing impossible under the old
system. Time.clocks in my office are al
most indispensable. We have a very
small force, and the work is behind in
every branch but one. We need the ser.
vices of every clerk every minute

A Study of Brains.

And now a scientist stands ready to
prove to us that the weight OF the brain
bears little or no relation to the ability
of its possessor. The brains OF two idiots
weighed respectively SIS and sos
ounces, while those Of Gambetta weighed
less than that of the average boy of
seven. A weak. minded man had a brain
weighing 70 S, while dwarfed Indian
squaw possessed one OF 73 6 ounces.
To the present generation these state
ments may I've more or less matters OF in
difference. but the writer OF this para
graph remembers when one Of the great
est arguments used against the higher
education of women was based on the
tact that their brains weighed less than
those OF men. A brain OF little weight
was not considered worth cultivating.
It's very lightness proved it to be unequal
to the physical task OF acquiring know
ledge mastered by men whose brains
weighed more. 1t was like expecting
puny muscles to perform feats accom-
plished by athletic giants.
These arguments were considered TIM
answerable in their day. Every sceptical
and fortunate young man quoted them
to every ambitious and hampered young
woman. They ineant, alas, the seltd
probation OF many woman who gave
up the struggle And possibly it was
just because the valiant promoters of
higher education made no attempt to
answer them, but went quietly and
silently to work along the lines of their
own beliefs, doing without argument the
things which their opponents were argu
ing so ably against, that women OF to-
day enjoy manifold privileges denied to
their elders Everything and nothing
can be proved by argument; the I'M
answerable fact lies alone in accomplish
ment.
The heaviest brains are found in cold
northern countries, the highest average
is obtained in Scotland, so that between
the weight OF the brain and the question
of nationality very decided relation
may be said to exist. The little woman
in the Grandissimes, in her invariable
argument. may have been right, the chief
cause for difference in brains living where
she in her pretty speech placed the cause
