Isaac Westfall Imagined There

Was a Reward For His Capture.
Isaac Westfall, who said he lived at
Edgewood, Siskiyou County, came into
Sheriff Johnson's office yesterday, ask
ing if there was big reward for his
capture.
He said people had been shooting at
him and wanted to arrest him, and he
had gone to the Governors Office to
find out whether or not he had offered
a big reward for his capture, but was
informed that he had not, and was re-
ferred to the Sheriff's office. AS the
man seemed to be on the verge of de-
lirium tremens, he was searched as a
precaution, and, a big Colts revolver
being found on him, he was locked up
for safety.

THE EXCEL ENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

all the Importance Of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of this Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is

EOBSON'S CHOICE,
things are

That the records of the senatorial con-
test may be made complete, as the facts
are unfolded, we publish on page seven
the open letter written by Senator Hob
son of Fergus county in explanation of
the reasons why the republicans voted for
Mr.. Clark for senator. Mr.. Hobson's high
standing as a man in the community in
which he resides, as well as his unim-
peachable private and public character,
adds interest to the statements which he
| has made.
In brief, he refers to the inability Of the
republicans to elect and the necessity of
| securing if possible a senator who would
| stand Loyalty by the doctrine Of protec-
ton to Montana industries. He says that
his first choice was Mr.. Conrad, a pro-
te~ctionist, but when it became evident
that he could not be elected, and that q
new candidate whose views on that ques-
| ton could not be relied upon was about te
be sprung to defeat Mr.. Clark, he believ-
ed it to be time for the republicans to act
Mr.. Clark, he continues, pledged himsel1
to oppose the democratic doctrine of fret
trade and to stand by the doctrine of pro.
lection as it affects the interests of Mon
tana, and therefore was given the repub'
lican vote. Mr.. Hobson refers to the al
legation that Senator Mantle and ex-Sen'
ator Power interfered with the republi.

Senator Mantle and ex-senator Powel
were instrumental in bringing bou thu

1T G HAVE BEEN.

In the whole range of classical poetry,
from Homer's odyssey to Senator
Eggleston's when Bryan Comes to

adjusts itself to the mistakes of mankind
as those beautiful lines, 50 dear to the
Anaconda Standard at this time:

Yes. it might have been. Had the
Standard remained true to the fusion
idea. which it at one time 50 ably advo-
Gated. MI. Clark would not have been
elected to the senate Of the United States.
When the managing editor of that great
family newspaper got the senatorial bee
in his own bonnet, and conceived the idea
that fusion might ~re-clect Senator
Mantle. he thought it better to take
chances on defeating Clark by indorsing
the anti-fusion plans of hat wing Of the
democracy. He played his hand only to
discover that he had more ambition h q
trumps in the uncertain game of politics
No one can calmly review the senatorial
fight from it's inception when the state
conventions were held, up to the conclud'
ing chapters in that great political con
troversy, without realizing that Mr.
Clark's final success was largely due i
the Anaconda Standard. We say this il
all kindness, but it is true. From the mis-
take that personal ambition inspired

The Talk OF the Day.

The desire Of the Roman Catholics of
Quebec, Canada, to have the educatohai
system of the province revised may cause
trouble. At the time of confederation the
school tax paid by property-oWners was
divided according to population, ana as
a consequence the Roman Catholics re-
ceived a large percentage OF the Whole. LII
1858. however, the Protestant property
owners Of the city of Montreal asked that
| the tax which they paid, instead OF peihg
distributed according to populatloh'
should be given entirely to the Protestant
| school board. Although that proposal had
the effect of deriving the Roman Catho-
lie board of about 80 per cent OF It's rev.
enue, it was acCeded to. Since that time,
now over thirty years, the schOOl taxes
have been divided into three funds. Ihere
is the Protestant fund, made up OF taxes.
paid by the ProteStants who at the Tune
of payment signify their desire that thelr
taxes should be so used; there is the Ro-
man Catholic fund, made up of the taxes
paid by the Roman Catholic proprletors,
and there is a neutral fund, made up of
taxes paid either by joint stock companies
mr. nv prOprietors who do not indicate any
preference as to which fund their taxes
should go. The result has been that IN
1897. for instance, the Protestants, with
S,9OS children, received ~$153,472, while the
Roman Catholics, with 1870 children, re-
ceived only $16S, 900.

silver republicans as is Mr.. Mantle. The
Standard would hardly care to apply
this rule to the vote received by Mr..
for MIR. Clark's enemies. However, we
will let that go.
In drawing a comparison between Mr..
Mantle and MI. Hartman, the Standard
ovcrlooks the fact tina the former was
not a candidate before the joint assem-
bly,. The logic of the situation was
clearly against any proposition of that
character, for there was nothing in the
political conditions that existed to jus
tify the hope that the state chairman of
the silver republican party could expect
any votes from other political organiza-
tons. The four silver republican mem
bers, therefore, were under no party re-
straints in the matter of voting for a
senator. lIleS were lIec III ever ms
of the word to support any one avowedly
in favor of the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to l..
But the case was different with Mr..
Hartman. He a entered into a com
pact with the Standards branch Of the
! 1n,,, y 49, tic " rtJ- hnpotnfnpn known a c
the dominant wing, under which he la
bored zealously to promote it's interests
through the election of Mr.. A. j. Camp
bell to congress. In fact, no political
move was made by Mr.. Hartman during
the campaign without the consent and
approval of the Standard people, and
almost invariably at their suggestion.
Under the circumstances, Mr.. Hartman
had a right to expect some consideration
at their hands when it could be ac-
| corded.
The opportunity came in the senatorial
lllSlt. II Was tNlu6lll " Tie dullcSl pun
tician that Mr.. Conrad could not in the
nature of things be elected. There was
no rule in the algebra of politics under
which his election could be figured out.
Under these conditions, Mr.. Hartman
had a right to expect the Standard votes
J rs roJ,1n tn him, IJn woe notitlaI tn a fa IL
start on the senatorial race track by the
people he had so diligently served and
for whom he had sacrificed all that most
men hold dear in political life.
No one can doubt the ingratitude with
which Mr.. Hartman was treated by his
favorite wing Of the democracy. Two.
thirds Of the silver republican vote was
given him for the purpose of indicating
to the Standard people that he was
groomed and ready to be entered as 6
dark horse. To be overlooked under sucl
circumstances is very discouraging t.
men who contemplate emulating the eX
ample set by Mr.. Hartman in the lat
campaign. 1t is enough to make ever
Mr.. Whiteside wonder whether he ma.
expect to find a balm in Gilead sprout
ing from the Anaconda Standard
, branch of the democracy. But, as a,

very peculiar how curious some strang
, things are.

conduct.

1t is gratifying to note that 1898 was
one of the most prosperous years ever
known in the United States. The ped
dulum of poverty swung the other way,
and commercial activity reinstated itself
in the affection of the people. An analysis
of the reports indicate the following
record for the year:
1. Largest wheat crop except tina of
1891.
?. Highest price recorded for whe ex-
cept that in 1888.
3. Largest cotton crop.
4. Largest exports of breadstuffs.
5. Largest exports of manufactured
goods.
6. Largest aggregate exports of pro-
duce and merchandise.
7. Largest production of iron ore.
s. Largest production of pig iron.
9. Largest production of coal.
10. Largest production of copper.
II. Largest production of silver except
that of 1892.
u. Largest production of gold.
10. Largest gold holdings.
"A. Largest per capita circulation of all
forms of money.
Is. Largest aggregate bank c~learings.
IS. Largest aggregate railroad earn
ings.
II. Largest aggregate sales of bonds.
is. Largest aggregate sales of stocks on
New York Exchange since 1882.
10. Smallest number of failures and
smallest aggregate liabilities since 1892.
To the foregoing might be added the
fact that aside from one that hit the eS-
teemed Anaconda Standard between the
eyes, there have been few really great
disasters of late to cool down the enthusi-
assn felt by the people Of the United
