To these Cubans General Brooke, who
is governor of Cuba, pompously re-
marked: Il shall look to you to assist
us in carrying out the purpose that
brought us to these shores. 1t is a
great trust, and / shall expect most ex-
traordinary assistance from you This
talk, under the circumstances, sounds
like burlesque lines in opera bouffe. 1t
was a sort of awkward cross-cut be-
tween a pompous threat and an express
sion of vulgar contempt. Brooke IS a
military martinez, a self-sufficient auto
crat who already has shown his unfit
ness for the trust foolishly committed
to him by the administration. Were
he a common-sense, tactful, practical
man, he would not have come up to the
day for Spain's retirement with the fear
of Cuban outbreak in Havana before
that made him afraid to lst the Cupans
have a part in the taking possession of

1t is certain that if the Office of gov
ernor of the island had gone to Fitz-
hugh Lee, the Cubans would have been
permitted to share in Sundays little

gramme seems to be nothing more
reputable than a studied effort to make

no good at any time or place-a deliber-
ate tip to the extensionists that in the

Part of His Work.

N RGANs of the trusts that point
with pride to Justin S. Morrill,
as the father of modern prohib-
tive tariff legislation, write in ignor-
ance of the facts that are in the record
of the dead senator. 1t is true that
Mr.. Morrill, happened, because of the
house Craftsmanship he held at the
time, to be the reputed anthor of the
Morrill, tariff. 1t is also true that the
measure was a war tariff-it carried
high duties. That is to say, the sched-
ules seemed very high at the time.
But it is not true that Mr.. Morrill,
was willing to be sponsor for the pro-
hibitive schedules that are the distin-
gushing feature of Mckinley and
Dingley tariff measures. On the con-
trary his protest against them is
matter of record-years ago, when the
republicans in congress were bent en-
keeping up the war-tariff figures Of the
Morrill, bill, the senator himself said
that sit is mistake for the friends Of
sound tariff to insist on the extreme
rates imposed during the war.
In another field Mr.. Morrilrs name
is closely identified with legislation of
which he was justly proud. He is
known as the father of the congress
sional library. That proud title is the
one by which he liked best to be known
the imposing building is the chief
ornament of the city of Washington
and monument in which the nation
takes pride.
Then, too Mr.. Morrill, was practically
the: author of this country's scheme
for agricultural colleges maintained at
government expense. He really forced
through the house bill which the
senate approved. setting apart liberal
tracts of the public domain to be Civ
en- to each state, to establish agricul-
tural colleges, or endow those already
established. In some states this rich
heritage was frittered away by divis-
ion among a host of o-called colleges
which became agricultural" enough
to be eligible to a share of the gift
In New York, chiefly through the
Jealous efforts of Andrew D. White
now United States ambassador to Ber-
lin, that states share was wisely
awarded to Cornell university. In

of it all to the point, or within range

The facts remain as they We're at the

its Washington correspondent to say:
Many expressions have been heard COM

official and congressional life that the
democrats of Montana made a grave mis-
take, politically, when they repudiated

That was last Thursday afternoon.
Next morning the Standard said:
1t is not true that these Washington

all true. The Standard challenges the
Inter Mountain to a joint inquiry into this
assertion. We wager that the Inter

That was last Friday morning. That
afternoon the Inter Mountain said that
"the challenge was most cordially ac-

Standard named its representative for
the proposed joint inquiry at Washing

to represent the Inter Mountain.

IF the man whose body was ripped
open with a knife New Year day, in
Butte, lives and gets we'll, it will be
a wonder; the testimony of the physi-
clans, when he first came under their
care, was that there was next to no
chance. for him.
The murderous assault on this man
was one of the sequels of a Sunday
cock fght-the crime attracted little
more of attention than is the rule in
Butte because 1t occurred on New Year
day. If it proves to be a murder, it will
take it's place at the top of the uncanny
list which, if things go on in Butte as
they have gone on in the past, will be
gruesome total before next Christmas
Butte had two murders last January,
but the record for that month was not
started as early as for this month by
eleven days. A few of the months of
last year escaped without murder to
their account, but not many of them;
there were two Silver-Bow- county muir
ders in January, two in February, two
in October. There were five murders
between September and December g.
Nobody was punished with hanging,
but if the record for the past is really
to be broken, the gallows will, for a
change, get one man next month, in ex-
piation for a brutal murder committed
nearly year ago.
1t may be that there are communities
of the same size that can match Silver
Bows murder record. If there are, the
Standard is not acquainted with them
The record gives the city of Butte
reputation that is detestable and one
which, by the test of good citizenship,
Butte certainly does not merit-the rec
ORD is one that Is thrust most unfairly
upon the people of the city and county.
Butte is city where the percentage of
good citizenship is quite as large as in
any other thriving, hustling, growing
community The vicious element in
Butte could be handled easily enough;
it is this element that inflcts a desper-
ately bad reputation on the whole city.
The shameful maladmnistration in
Butte's department of justice is the
troube--it is all the trouble. There has
been constant criticism because Of
Butte's failure to equip itself with a
modern-day police department, and 1t
is true that the citys police service
never will be fairly good under sthe
present methods. But even when the
police do excellent work, as is the fact
in several recent instances-even then,

high crimes You may theorize about 1t
as you please: the essential fact simply
is that Butte will bear bad reputation
and, in a sense, deserve it-as long as
the proposition is that the balance of
chances is altogether against the pun
ishment of capital criminals brought
into custody in Silver Bow county.
That is the present condition.

IT MONG other important matters
brought forward from the old
! year there are the hold-up high
Waymen in Butte who We're a holiday
capture. They are to be dealt with;
the Standard is commissioned to keep
them in view so constantly that the
public will not forget them. One way
or the other, these men are going to
be punished-of course, the proposition
is to let the ordinary law agencies
have reasonable chance. 1t happens
that just now a few changes in the
department of justice in Butte are TAX
ing place; allowance will be made for
these. But it's fixed fact that the
prisoners in question will not be per-
mitted to spend months in jail, eating
their heads off at the public expense
while they put up schemes to escape
punishment, The Standard promised
last week to keep these highWaymen
in the public eye; hence this mornings
brief mention of them.

The Case of Roberts.

~rHERE is no doubt about the pro-
portions of the stir Roberts has
raised-they are large Nor is
1t at all remarkable that the announce
ment of his election to membership in
the house of representatives should
have quickened a feeling of resent
ment. The American public looks on
polygamy with loathing. and the drift
of reliable evidence seems to be that
Utah has any number of old stiffs who
to this day keep house on the polyg-
amy plan. 1t isn't to the taste of the
public that a congressman should be
the husband of three or four women,
even If he does not arrange for house
keeping at the seat of government
with them on the cooperative plan.
Roberts is a Mormon. With his re-
ligious faith the government has moth
L ing to do. He is declared also to be
a polygamist and the recent denials
from the head of the church in Utah
do not appear to be accepted by the
large public as satisfactory. The laws
of the land forbid polygamy, and po-
1ygamy in Utah was expressly forbid
den by the laws of the nation while
they governed that territory. The en-
forcement Of the anti-polygamy law
was attended with great difficulty, but
the law finally triumphed to the extent
Of hating new polygamous marriages.
But for the fact that polygamy had
been practically abolished in Utah, that
territory never could have been ad-
mitted as a state.
Excellent authority has it that there
is no stopping Roberts when he under
takes to occupy the seat in the house
of representatives assigned to Utah. He
is entitled to his seat: he can be ex-
PEELED later on. That is the testimony
of some of those who are regarded as
high authority.
A second theory asserts that the con-
stitution makes the house of represen-
tatiyes the sole judge of the election
and qualification of its members and
from it's judgment there can be no APP
peal. 1t is empowered not only to de-
eide who has been elected in disputed
cases, but it has the power, and has
often exercised it, of passing upon the
qualification of claimants for seat
in the body. 1t is claimed TO be the
rule observed in regard to the qualifica-
ton of members that If the people of
district have elected a congressman
with the full knowledge of the accusa-
lions made against him which are pre-
scented as a ground for refusing him
admission, the judgment of his constit-
uents is to be accepted as a guide for
the house.
The critics of Roberts admit This
rule, but they urge that polygamy be-
ing at war with the whole theory and
genius of our free government, it is
entirely competent for the house to de-
clare him ineligible to serve as a ma
tionaI lawmaker.

Washington, May 1j.-Admiral Dew.
ey's homecoming by way of the Med.
iterranean is likely to give occasion for
distinguished honors from the nayiea
of Europe, most of them being repre-.
sented by extensive squadrons in those
waters, and some of them having their
chief naval stations at Mediterranean
ports. Ambassador CambOn. of France,
has called the attention of the authori-
ties at Paris 10 the return of Admiral
Dewey by way OF the Mediterranean
and the probable sailing of his flagship
Olympia past the French naval ports in
Algiers. These are opposite the Brit,
ish possessions of Gibraltar and Malta,
at the entrance to the Mediterranean,
and are easy and natural stopping
places along that route. 1t is hardly
expected that the Admiral will touch
at Toulon, the great naval depot OF
France. At the ports Of Algiers he
will be accorded every honor, due not
only to his high rank but to the uni
versal esteem in which he is held by
the naval fraternity.
The British authorities have taken
no steps thus far to'have the admiral
stop at British ports, but it was stated
yesterday by one of the British officials
that Dewey would be assured most
enthusiastic greeting if he stopped a,
any British station, and that undoubt.
cdly steps would be taken to induce
him TO touch at Plymouth and Ports.
