Less than two years ago the state
ment was often repeated that "there
is no money in the lake ore business"
1t was said that the prices, As and so
cents a ton from Lake Superior to
Lake Erie ports, were so low that it
was impossible to cover expenses. In
fact, the general opinion was that the
business was largely overworked and
that the resulting competition had
forced prices down so low that it was
difficult even to make expenses. Some
owners even offered their vessels for
sale at low prices. The situation now
is completely reversed. The iron ore
shipments have shown a great increase
over the very large output of last
year. Vessels are in demand, and the
rate for ore from Duluth to Lake Erie
ports has been raised to $50 a ton,
with prospects of a still higher figure.
At these rates the average lake vessel
can come very near paying for herself
in one season, and ship owners are
repaying themselves literally for the
poor years in the past.-American

A prominent merchant declares that
"the money expended for Advertising
is the same as if placed on INTEREST,"
This is the proper view to be taken of
advertisements placed in a popular
newspaper. Not only is there a val
liable return resulting from the profits
in wares which may be specified in a
merchants business announcement,
but the additional sales made extend
and more firmly establish the adver-
tiser's trade. Thus this great medium
of communicate with the public en-
ables the trad esman to enlarge his
sphere of operations, and as a conse-
quence to assume more important
standing in the commercial world.
The returns from the merchants out
lay in advertising far exceed in value
the interest that would be received on
the amount of money so expended.

INTENTIONS,

While neither better nor worse than
democratic newspapers Of it's class, the
Butte Miner this morning affords a text
for thought in the following expressions:
But the Miner does think and it has no
hesitation in expressing it's opinions on
that point, that the reported intention Of
the president is repugnant to every idea
of fairness and Justice contained in the
resolutions preceding the actual d~eclara-
ton of war.
The foregoing refers to a report pub
l!shed in one of the New York newspapers
to the effect that it was rumored that the
president of the United States contem-
plated preparing a plan which would en-
able the Cubans to vote for annexation
provided they wanted to. The Miner
points to the vivid fact that the president
did not drop the Philippine war long
enough to inform the inhabitants of this
great republic officially hat the penny-a-
liner Of the New York yellow journal did
not speak the truth, and therefore the ru-
NOR must be true! Or, as our morning
contemporary puts it~-"Anyhow, silence
gives assent"
The contention of the Miner, based on
an assumed premise, is worthy of atten-
ton only because it is one of many illus
trations which might be given showing the
unutterable weakness of the democratic
system of attacking public men. The nat
ural tendency of the democratic party to
align itself against those in authority can
never be satiated through criticism Of
acts performed, but must seek relief in
assuming the truth Of every idle rumor
affecting the good name of public men.
A careful review of the course pursued
ly the democratic press will show that by
far the larger per cent of their criticisms
ere based on the reported intentions" Of
republican ofiiee-holders, rather than on
their official acts and utterances. This is
sirgularly true whenever any great ques-
ton is pending. The opinion Of some
prominent republican is guessed at and
then used as the basis for all sorts Of
fiery arguments. Don Quixote never at
tackled windmills with more vigor than do

THE DEATH OF WALLA 7ONAKA.

Thursday afternoon Walla Tonaka, a
full blooded Choctaw murderer, was exc
cuted at Alikichi, in the Indian territory
To the general public this Indian was
known as William Goings, and aroun
his life something of a romance has been
woven. He was sentenced to be executed
a long time ago, in the Choctaw nation,
and was released upon his word Of honor
to appear on the date set apart for his
death. He put in his appearance promptly
an surrendered himself to the execu-
TONERS, but in the meantime a reprieve
had been granted and another date some
months later was set for his taking off.
Goings was a ball player of some note,
and, though under sentence of death,
played throughout the east with a we'll
known team. He dropped the amuse-
ment in time, however, to again report
for execution. Another stay prolonged
his life. ra .+
Last Thursday afternoon he put in. an
appearance for the fourth time, and sur
| rendered to the authorities who were to
carry out the penalty of death. Though
a writ of habeas corpus had been issued
by the federal judge, and should have
| served as a stay of execution, it appears
that the Choctaw judge ignored it and
ordered Walla Tonaka shot in compfi-
ance with the original sentence. Today
the information comes that warrants are
out for the arrest of q persons connect
ed with the execution, for contempt of
court. The slayers Of the condemned
man are to be punished.
Whatever may have been the circum-
stances connected with the crime of
which Goings was found guilty, the man
betrayed a trait of character seldom
heard Of outside of yellow covered litera-
ture. For a condemned murderer, re-
leased on his word of honor as a man
not as a white man, but as a red man, a
savage-to return four times, single
handed and alone, to meet the death as.
signed him as a punishment for his crime
is a marvellous exhibition of the dignity
and influence Of a pledge. Walla Tonaka
deserves to live long in song and story
as a hero willing to die for his honor
an untutored son of the forest ready to
surrender his life rather than disregard
solemn vow.

THE COLORADO ROBBERY.

There is a great deal Of suppressed ex-
citement in editorial circles over a dis
patch from Salt Lake stating that a
schoolma'am en- route from Glenwood
Springs. Colorado, to the National Edu-
cational association at Los Angeles had
one of her stockings robbed of $500 and a
diamond ring. After stating that she
ode in a day coach, the dispatch adds
She says she did not go to sleep en-
route, but in the morning found her Valu-
ables had disappeared.
When it comes to settling all the great
problems of government some of u ed
itorial contemporaries are unquestlon-
ably able to handle everything connected
with the situation with great ability and
skill, bu as to handling everything con-
nected with this affair-that is. in other
words. when it comes to u%nraveling this
stocking, or. rather. this shocking cpl
sode, we should have said. it is quite an
other matter. Had that schoolma'am left
her money with her legatees, and then
left her legatees when she started for Los
Angeles. she would not have lost the
money.
The stocking yarn might not have been
~true-that is. the yarn might not have
been as firm as everything about a
schoolma'am ought to be, and the money
might have slipped out through some
ransom in her wearing apparel, if she
did not happen to we'll heeled. It is
gratifying to know that the $500 was not
in. silver. Had it been she would have
felt the loss Of the money more. Being
greenbacks, her calves might have-but,
then, it is idle to speculate with money
, that is gone.
These suggestions are thrown out in the
hope of explaining the disappearance on
some other theory than burglary. AS she
did not go to sleep, it is difficult to under-
stand how train robbers could have pulled
-her-that is. how highwaymen could have
found out where the valuables We're Sc
creted and pulled her wad Of money from
it's hiding place. Had she been a Massa-
chusetts schoolma'am she would have
had the diamond ring securely drawn
over the ankle, and it would have been
burglar proof. The fact tina the dia-
mond ring was lost indicates hat the
lady was from the west, where ankles are
used chiefly for walking purposes. instead
of for a bank.
Until the authorities of Colorado are
heard from, there is but little hope thai
any Montana editor can say anything
that will help unearth the crime, unless
some enterprising bachelor among then
is enterprising enough to plead guilty.

things which republican office-holders
never dreamed of saying or doing.
1t probably never occurred to the astute
editors who assume to know in advance,
for debating purposes, just what the in
tentions Of public men are, that they are
giving the opposition the benefit Of their
foresight to protect them from possible
errors. With no such philanthropic idea
real service by arguing against something
which they imagine he may some day
ur dertake.
o it IS well enough perhaps to encour7
age the democratic idea of firing, their
powder at imaginary targets. Though
they may hit nothing, they may per-
chance indicate some of the weak points
in the pathway of political progress with
their powder marks. Besides it is good
exercise for the democratic press. Havt
ing been compelled by the irresistible
force of events to repudiate the admins
tration of James Buchanan, then wait
thirty years for a chance to repudiate the
administration of Grover Cleveland, they
became so thoroughly attached to- the re-
pudiating business that inactivity would
paralyze the working capacity of their
political joints. Criticism keeps their
blood in circulation, and inasmuch as
there seems to be but little opportunity
for our democratic friends to attack the
general conduc of the administration at
pent-up energies on the reported inten-
tons of the president.

THE QUESTION OF OPINIONS.

In one of the numerous weekly pub
LEGATIONS recently started in Butte, under
various DISCUSSES as to names and pur-
poses, but which are really intended as
following: ~.
The Inter Mountain Is of the opinion
that the democratic convention will not
have silver as a paramount issue in the
mex national campaign. The afternoon
daily has a right to it's opinion. but when
it expresses the belief as a fact they bor-
der somewhat on the premature. Mr..
Cleveland cannot be cited to the public
as a true democrat. He is anything but
that. The silver question was not a para
mount issue in 1892. 1t had not yet
reached that sublime degree. But in 1896
the democrats declared for silver at the
ratio of 16 to I. There was no half way
point, and our prediction is hat there will
be no half way point in 1900. Those men
who called themselves silver republicans,
and who really are for silver. will again
support the democratic nominee. There
will be room in the republican party for
those who are of the opinion that silver
should be relegated to the ear
This is so clearly an attempt to distort
the position taken by the Inter Noun
tain that it calls for passing attention.
The opinion that the democracy will not
make free coinage it's paramount issue in
1900 is based on the declarations of Mr..
Bryan and other noted leaders of the So
called silver wing of that party. 1t can
not be denied thai Mr.. Bryan resigned
his position as colonel in the army in Or

conspicuous way. To summarize it's ar
gument against the proposition that q
600, 900 populist votes were cast for Bryan
in 1886 with the statement that Watson
represented the strength Of that party, is
to assume .diocy on the part Of its read
ers. AS there are no "legitimate' popu
lists in Montana. according to the rea-
soning of the Independent. how do you il
fellows like it, anyhow?
