1t is a remarkable fact that few of the
officers who have distinguished them
selves in the United States army were
honor graduates at West Point. Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan were noted for
stupidity; the dozens of bright young
men who eclipsed them in their studies
at the academy served out the wars as
mere l~ieutenants, or as colonels at the
most. 1t develops that Colonel Fred
Funston, whose name is now on the lips
Of every one. was no exception to the
rule. 1t is not that he actually reached
West Point. although there is no doubt
that If he had had the good fortune, he
would have distinguished himself in some
way or other, with the chances that the
authorities would not have r~cjoiced in
his celebrity. 1t is IN the fact that he
was miserably beaten in a competitive
examination for a cadetship that the tale
is hung.
Although Colonel Funston was born in
OhiO, his parents moved to Kansas when
he was quite young, and, at the time at
which most boys begin to have visions Of
military renown. his father was a repre-
sentative from a Kansas district. AS a.
member of congress-. Hon. Funston had
Of course a cadetship at West Point at
his disposal. Despite the longing of his
son to go, Hon. Funston decided to hold
a competitive examination for the honor,
secretly confident, say some, that his son
had a cinch on the place. But the best
laid schemes go often wrong. A Charlie
Crawford, whom nobody had thought a
dangerous rival to young Fred, easily
carried off the honors, with the congress-
mans son SO far behind that although in
one sense far from SO, he was in reality
out of sight. This the decree of fate; a
decree most favorable after all, to Fun
ston. For he is now a brigadier general,
while the lucky rival, although a brave
and skillful soldier, is only a subaltern
still.

THOMAS IS ALL RIGHT.

Advices from Denver deny the state
ments attributed to Governor Thomas of
Colorado, relative to the return of the
volunteers from the Philippines. The
Associated Press reports accused that
official of having made a violent attack
upou the war department. demanding
the immediate return of the volunteers.
and making all sorts of dtabollcal threats
in case the matter was not taken up for
Immediate consideration by the govern
ment. s-r
1t now appears that the Associated
Press WAS in error in making these
charges against the Colorado executive.
Its Information was taken from an al
legged interview that appeared in that
nasty and vile sheet. the Rocky Mountain
News of Denver. The News has no rival
as a matchmaking, ~disreputable news-
club over the heads of politicians in that
state. ready to beat their brains out
whenever they rebel against it's reck-
,essiy handled lash. 1t distorted a few
harmless words from Governor Thon<s
into an unpatriotic declaration that
placed that gentleman in a most unen-
viable light before the public. AS soon
as the governor realized that he was be-
ing dragged through the mire by the
News he wired the war department as
follows:
Reported interview of mine in Denver
News Sunday morning concerning Colo
ado volunteers in Manila all false and
malicious. Would have denied it earlier
but supposed it too silly to receive Gre
denee. l beg you will do me the justice
to discredit it.
To the foregoing Secretary of War
Alger made the following patriotic re-
joinder by wire, and the incident closed:
Hon. Charles S. Thomas Governor.
Denver, Colo: Your telegram to ad-
jutant general has beep handed me, and
/ desire to thank you for it. 1t does
credit TO you and your state. In the
meantime we shall spare no efforts to
effect the speedy return of all the yolun-
,eers in the Philippine islands. but it
should be borne in mind that the dis
lance and question Of suitable transport
tation make it appear slow to waiting
families and friends. 1t is my desire
that they shall have every comfort.
Their conduct we'll deserves all that the
resources of the government can furnish.

AMERICAN MEATS ABROAD.

Proposed legislation to abate the re-
strictions now laid Upon American meats
in Germany has failed to meet the APP
prevail Of the reichstag, probably through
the influence of the p%rejudices that pre-
vail in that country. A large element of
the German people have steadfastly
fought against the introduction of
American meats and cereals.
When Benjamin Harrison was presi-
dent of the United States a most vigor-
Gus effort was made to induce Germany
to invest literally in American maize.
The dietic advantages of corn meal were
shown, and experts in the use of the
! cereal were employed to show the mani
fold uses to which this staple could be
put. But little Roadway was made, how
ever, in overcoming German prejudice.
American pork has still greater objec-
tons to contend with. Trichina spiralis
was urged against it, despite the rigidity
Of our inspection laws. Now the reich
stag refuses to abate the warfare made
on American meats. and this govern
ment will be forced to meet the situation
with some degree of vigor. Proper dis
examinations against Germany will alone
teach our neighbors of the Fatherland
that there are two sides to a commercial
pronosition.

PROMISE VS., PERFORMANCE.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew is author
ity for the statement that the republican
party next year will have an antitrust
plank in its national platform, just the
same as the democrats. Should such be
the case the public will have to choose
between promise n performance
Butte Miner.
At what period in American history,
pray, did the democratic party ever illus
trate it's ~antagonism to trusts and com
bines? At what time did it's perform
ances suggest a spirit of opposition to
the aggressiveness of capital? Was il
when James Buchanan tried to permit
the rich, sla~ye-holding oligarchy Of the
south to dismember the Union inc steal
the available u of the govern
ment? Or, was it when the next demo-
cratic president tried TO turn the con-
tents of the United States treasury over
10 J. Pierrepont Morgan and the finan-
cial syndicate which he represented?
When has the republican party, nation
ally or otherwise, surrendered so COM
pletely to the influence of trusts and
combines as has the democracy of the
state of Montana? The. Miner is talking
through its hat.

ANOTHER CONFESSION.

For the third time the Butte Miner con-
fesses that the Clark democrats elected
Mayor Mccarthy, and thereby defeated
Mr.. Kirk. 1t says:
It will be further admitted and claimed
that had J. H.. Mccarthy been compelled
to rely upon the support only of those
controlled by the same influences as ruled
the convention he would not now be en-
joying the right to launt his subserv-
iency to these influences in the face Of
the public. IL u
In other words, If the Clark democrats
had only known that they couldn't die
tate Mayor McCarthy's appointments
they would not have voted for him. and
he would have been defeated. -Undoubt-
humiliating resolutions contained in the
democratic platform upon which Mr.. Nc
Carthy stood, enough of the Clark. demo-
Gratis sneaked in under the tent and voted
for him to insure the defeat of Mr.. Kirk.
And now. in the face of this brazenly
confessed fact, the republican members
of the city council, with one exception,
permit themselves to be dictated to by
the men who slaughtered the republican
candidate for mayor, While pretending
to accord to him their most ardent sup
port. They seem willing to pull demo-
cratic chestnuts out of the fire, regard
less of how much their fingers are
seorched by the operation. But, as the
old lady said when she kissed the cow, II
is everybody to his own taste.

Thereupon Bell raised his cane and
struck Tyler on the head with it,
knocking him down and senseless,
necessftating the applica..on of cold
water and work to resuscitate him
Bell then went to the Mayors office
and gave himself up to the authority
of the law, but was told that he had
not been the aggressor and there was
no case against him and he went his
way.

trouble is being had in casing, as there
seems to be some sort of an obstruc-

holes on the same farm which looks

will be drilled to the Berea If oil is not
found to pay before that streak is tap
ped.
Reppart No. has been shot and will

No. Reppart will be started as soon
as boiler and engine can be put in

1t is expected that Hovis No. will
reach the salt sand by the middle of

A boiler house has been erected on
the Reppart farm by the Henderson Oil

Moore No. 16 las been located by

about three inches of oil in the tank
