DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.
William o. Whitney Advocates the Ad-
 miral for That Office

New York, September SO.-The World to- morrow will publish a long article by William c. Whitney advocating Admiral Dewey for a presidential candidate. It says in part:
 "The trust of the people in Dewey is the great fact that dominates the situation. They trust him implicitly. With him in the white house they would have absolute con- fidence that the wise, right and patriotic course would be taken and firmly kept. It is a great opportunity which this fact of- fers the nation. Only at long intervals and special occasions Providence presents a man in whom the whole people have un- questionable and perfect trust"

A farewell banquet was rendered c. M. Tardy and B. Manly on Friday evening. September 29. by McMillan-Lee Co. at their store in Morris avenue. President s. w. Lee and his force of employees were all present. While it was quite an informal affair still it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Having been so closely associated for such a long time it was with much regret to all concerned that such pleasant relations were severed.

Next To Dewey.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says:
Colonel Funston of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment is now conceded by
army officers to he the most conspic-
uous officer of the Spanish war, with
the excel ton of Admiral Dewey
himself 1t is said President Nc
Kinley will substantially reward
him for his gallantry by giving him
the first vacancy as hrigadier general
OF volunteers, or Funston may be
given commission in the regular
army as paymaster, which Is the
only way in which he can he put in
the permanent establishment.
Colonel Funston's dashing gallan-
try has caused him to be talked
jout even more than Teddy
Roosevelt of the Rough Riders and
Fighting Joe Wheeler, the hero of
the Santiago campaign, who, although
i'll, refused to retreat when Shafter
wanted his army to leave the in
trenchments before Santiago.
1.-The successful fording of the Rio
Grsnde river after two failures and
the brilliant conduct Of the volunteers
under Colonel Funston had great
deal to do with forcing the rebels to
sue for peace. The dispatched from
General Otis in which he comments
Colonel Funston have already set the
politicians to talking, and some of
those who are still here say they
would not be surprised if Funston
should be honored by being noml-
mated for the governorship of Kan
sss. 1t is predicted he will follow
the career of Roosevelt of New York.
Funston is a Republican and it is be-
lieved nomination would b, equiva-
lent to an election, as he is now one
of the most popular men in Kansas
and that state returned to the Re-
publican column at the last election"

Edward Z. MINOR Dead.

Died at his home in lola Saturday
evening at 045 o'clock, Mr.. Edward

The funeral services were held at the
residen ce, 2l5 East ST., Monday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock, under the auspices
of the G. \. r., Rev. A. b. Bruner Of

oldest residents in the county, having
come to this county in 1861. He lived
for many years on farm east of town
later known as the Bunnel place and
recently plated and added to the citv.
about eight years ago he sold the
farm and moved TO lola and bought
the property where he has lived ever
since and where he died. He has
been a sufferer from a Tsevere kidney
trouble for many years and about a
year ago he was compelled to take to
his bed. He never sufficiently re-
covered to get up again and suffered
the agony of many deaths before death
came to his release. He was tenderly
nursed by his wife and everything
was done that medical skill and care
full nursing could to relieve him, and
during the past few months his son
Frank, from Colorado, has been a con-
slant watcher at his side. Edward
Minor in health was fine, stalwart
man, fine in appearance and noble in
character, and his death is universal
ly mourned by all who knew him.
The funeral was largely attended and
with the beautiful ceremony of the
Grand Army of which he was mem
Der he was laid to rest by loving
hands.

Robert Bonner.

~wO generations of Americans
have known of Robert Bonner
and have read with interest OF
his successes in various and widely
distinct fields. He was born in Ire
land, near Londonderry, in 1924. His
parents were Scotch-Irish Presby-
terians. He came to America, and he
learned the printers trade--when he
was nineteen years old he was known as
the most rapid compositor in Connec-
ticut-he worked in the office of the
Hartford Courant. In 1851 he bought
the New York Ledger then an insig-
nifCant publication. The Ledger be-
came a famous success. 1t was a
story teller; in its prime some of the
most brilliant writer's in this country
were well-paid contributors to it's
columns. The Ledger made a fortune
for Mr., Bonner. He gave princely gifts
to institutions of learning and to we'll
known charities. He had a fondness
for horses-he was the owner of Peer
less, Dexter and Maud S. Mr.. Bonner
was always a much-respected man.
The later years of his life were spent
in comparative retirement. He died at
the age of seventy-fye.

TO ADVERTISERS
FRIDAY, JULY Z, 1899.
TWELVE PAGES.
The War Is Over.

TT came about in this way: Dewey
and Diedrich We're near neighbors
for quite long time in Manila bay.
Their acquaintance did not perhaps
ripen into warm friendship. but a. least
1t cultivated. especially on Diedrich's
part, a sentiment of very high respect
for Dewey. The latest interchange is
made public through a press telegram
which quotes correspondence that was
printed Wednesday in a Berlin news
paper. In his recent letter Diedrich
wrote that he had learned of Deweys
promotion to the rank of admiral, and
he said that this good news gave him
great satisfaction. In answer, Admiral
Dewey expressed his thanks. Stnd he
added that he rejoiced that "our differ
ences have been Of newspaper manufac-
ture." Dewey could afford to say that
because, in fact, these imaginary diff
ferences' were newspaper inventions
Dewey is the man who. when things
were red hot in the harbor, sent word
to Diedrich to be very careful to keep
out of the American line of fire That
wasn't one of the differences: rather
1t was a matter respecting the wisdom
of which Dewey and Diedrich doubtless
thought alike.

Spcaking of Issues.

~FFICIALDOM has been heard
from: the law end of the Nc
Kinley administration, in the
person of the attorney general of the
United States, comes into public view
with the solemn PRONUNCIATION of the
statement that the trust issue is not
political one" This oracle of the ad-
ministration does not deign to give
reasons, he is satisfied to issue his fat.
What curious times these be, in which
an attorney general passes opinion on
the relevancy of that which some of the
people of this country are proposing to
make an issue In the next national
campaign!
In one sense, but not in the sense
intended by Attorney General Griggs,
the trusts are not an issue. Discussing
General Griggs' remark, the Boston
Traveller ventures to write definition
for the word issue. "A political is
sue" says the Traveller lis nothing
| more or less than a subject in which
the voters are interested and which
| they elect to make of Importance in
| convention chooses to incorporate into
| its party platform a declaration on a
| certain subject it becomes an issue"
That will do we'll enough, perhaps;
| yet the Travellers statement lacks the
| exactness that is essential in first-rate
| definitions. The Traveller ought to add
| after its mention OF "a subject in
which the voters are interested" the
words land respecting which there
are differences of opinion" That is
to say, an issue must involve a vari-
ance in public opinion. For all practi-
cal purposes, the words Issue" and
question" are cognates in our poll
tics-we have the tariff question. the
money question. the expansion ques-
ton; we also speak of these as issues.
Now there cannot be such a thing as
a question or an issue that has only
one side-it must have at least two.

Current Comment.
Views Of a Republican Organ.

From the Portland Oregonian.
The Mckinley administration has made
most disgracefuI appointments to office at
the behest of inscriptions politicians. 1t
has betrayed the civil service to the
spoilsmen, paralyzed the organization of
the army. violated it's pledges as to cur
rency reform, Inundated its most efficient
servants and discredited American intelli-
gence and valor in the eyes of the civilized
world. In a time for courage 1t has
quaied. In time for decision 1t has
hestated. In time for action 1t has de-
layed. In a time for honest dealing 1t
has paltered and equvocated. Its policy
has been to drift. it's aim has been to
placate everybody however unworthy,
and cater to everything. however mis-
chievous; it's course has been to sacrifice
any and every vital interest of the nation
on the altar Of partisan and personal pol
tiles.

Choosing a Country.

IT S the result of a movement
started at Madrid, the next
! twelvemonth will show the
preference of the Spaniards residing in
Porto Rico in respect to CITIZENSHIP
This element is supposed to include
about one hundred thousand people,
the population of the island being
about eight hundred thousand. As in
Cuba, the Spaniards in Porto Rico out
number the Americans and the other
Europeans. More than one third of the
islands population is negro.
1t may be believed that the alterna-
tive presented to many of these Span
iards is vexing problem. Naturally
their attachments are with the mother
country-there social and family ties
draw them toward Madrid. But their
business, their investments and their
expectations center at a place where
American citizenship will be of highest
account to them. Soon Porto Rico Will
be an organized territory of the Unite l
States. If congress carries out the pro-
gramme which is supposed to be in
popular favor. Doubtless it will be a
long time before Porto Rico is in
vested with statehood, but this coun-
try's territorial administration is de-
vised on liberal plans and the Span
iards whose business affairs hold them
on the island will undoubtedly wish TO
share in the privileges of representa-
tive government.

MIR. Days Chat.

I n view of all lhe talk that has been
running up and down the country
during the past fortnight or two, it
occurred to the Standard, on the an
nouncement of Mr.. Days return from
the East, that that gentleman could, if
he would say a thing or two that
would interest a good many people in
these parts. That happens. first. be-
cause Mr.. Daily has been long and con-
spicuously interested in large business
undertakings in this section and, in the
second place, because a good many
newspapers published at a distance
from Montana have had a remarka BILE
supply of alleged information respecting
his travels, his investments and his
future home. Last night, a Standard
reporter was sent out in quest of Mr..
Daily. 1t can be said, as witness the
interview printed on this morning 3
seventh page, that the reporter got it
straight" and also that he got all the
facts; Mr.. DAILY seemed warmly dis
posed to take all of his friends-and
others, if such there be--into his conf
dence. The interview brushes away
for good and all, mass of fairy tale
nonsense that has been floating in
Butte, in this city, and in other com
munities. For it's part, the Standard Is
rejoiced to take Mr. DAILY at his can
didly-uttered word; and in this senti-
ment the Standard, we know, has plenty
of good company.
