Blackburn is Not Backward.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. Dec. 10. At the
conference ofstate committeeman and
other democratic leaders, which yes
terday decided in favor of contrasting
the election of the republican state
o ficers inaugurated Tuesday, ex-
Senator Blackburn was the most
prominent figure. He advocated
contest and declared that his candi-
dacy for the senate was of secondary
Importance to that of seating Goebel.
The resolutions instruct democratic
members of the house and senate to

Goebel.
The legislature is composed of a
number of anti-Goebel democrats, es-

publican and Brown men still claim
that Goebel can never be seated

The gold standard is bad enough
and burdensOme enough, says the
Missippi Valley Democrat and Jour
nal of Agriculture, but it is mere
nothing in comparison with thepend-
ing bill to pension the national banks
permanently upon the taxpayers OF
the country. This is not a question
of party or politics. 1t affects every
citizen who pays taxes. Ii the bill
becomes law republicans as well as
democrats and populists will be
forced to contribute their share OF
the tribute to the banks. We cannot
understand how any man can be SO
stepped in blind craftsmanship as to
deliberately rob his wife and chill
dren of the comforts and even the ne
cessaries of life for the benefit of the
bank trust, merely because his party
in congress favors that policy. Some
may foolishly claim that they pay no
part of the tribute. because they Dor
row no money from the banks This
is precisely like the old argument
that the foreigner paid the tariff. 1t
makes no difference whether a man
borrows money from the banks or
not, he pays his share of the interest
lust the same. Those who do the
borrowing add the interest to the
cost of their goods or products, and
the consumers pay the debt. Every
dollar of national bank money that
circulates costs the people an aver
age of II to Is per cent, and it is no
better money-in fact not one-hun-
dredth part as good as the green
back dollar that costs the people
nothing.

BRITAIN'S CUP is FULL.
The Greatest Disaster Of the War in
South Africa Came Yesterday.

London, Dec. 16.-Gen. Sir Redvers
Buffers army was repulsed by the
Beers yesterday while trying to cross
the Tu9ela river to relieve the British
garrison in Ladysmith. From Bull
ler's official dispatch it is gathered
that the reverse is the most serious
since the war in South Africa began.
He does not give his losses, only say
ing they are very heavy.
The British lost eleven guns to the
Beers. The artillery was surprised
on the banks of the Tugela river and
the horses were shot in the harness.
IN my of the men were killed at the
guns and it is not even known that a
shot was fired from the cannon. The
artillervmen were forced to abandon
nearly all of the guns and only two
We're saved from the Beers.
Butler retired to chieory camp,
W lsre he came from, and is supposed
t. be resting there He is now prac-
tically without artillery and must act
on the defensive until reinfOrcements
reach him. Fifteen transports are
due in Cape Town within the next
t rec weeks, with $4,000 troops of
all arms. These will be rushed to
join his army.
Gen. Joubert was formerly in com
mand of the Beers around Lady
smith. but two weeks ago it was re-
ported that he was i'll and had gone
back to Pretoria. Gen. Botha was
next in command, and it is believed
he had charge of the Beers in yester-
days battle.

The trusts are not afraid. They
know their friends. They will hardly
begin TO put up their shutters and go
ont of business while Mr.. Mckinley
remains in office. Words do not
scare them. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan said
that the trusts and denominations did
not oppose him because they were
afraid he would not enforce the law:
their anxiety arose from a feeling of
certainty that he would give them
the law s limit. They were not look,
ing for justice. What they wanted
was a man who could gull the public
with meaningless words. and let the
aw rest quietly on the statute bool 5

Trusts and Politics.
Chicago Democrat .

Chicago Democrat.
Republican leaders are alarmed
over the trust question. Without
the aid of the trust there will be scant
campaign funds for the fight in 1900
With the trusts the prospects are
that the fight will result in a victory
for the democrats.
Truly the situation is embarrassing.
President Mckinley steered pretty
clear of the question in his message
but he did not ignore it altogether.
He cleverly announced that there
were two kinds of trusts, good and
bad. but he did not tell the people
which were the good and which were
the bad.
OF course the good trusts are those
which pay literally to the campaie n
md to keep William Mckinley in
power and the bad trusts are COM
posed of economical fellows who wont
come down with plenty OF cash to
! corrupt voters and buy legislators.
But the people have made up their
minds that both of these kinds of
trusts are bad. Bad for the people
and they are the ones who are going
to cast the votes in the next presiden-
tial election.
This is what alarms the republican
leaders. They see defeat before them,
whichever way they may turn. II
they abandon the trusts the trusts
will defeat them. Ii they hold on to
the trusts the people will defea' them.
Truly the situation has its dis.advan-
ages.

Missoula, March 16.-The Hawthorne
society of the State university enter
tanned its friends at University hall to-
night in manner that was really cred
liable to society and the university. The
programme published in the Standard
to-day was carried out in full and was
well received. The Hawthorne society
is composed of young men of the uni
versity and the meeting tonight was
of special interest on account of the
fact that il was the first society meet
in held in the new building. The
Clarkia composed of young women of
the university, will give its annual en-
tertainment at the university hall Fri
day night. Free transportation will be
provided to and from the university.
and it is hoped that the attendance will
be large. The programme is an excel
lent one and the record that the young
ladies have made in their previous en-.
tertainments justifies the prediction
that tomorrow nights meeting will be
exceptionally good.

ST. PATRlCK'S DAY.
The Celebration Will Take Place, Rain or

Shine.
Missoua, March 16-The present in
dlcations are that the day of Ireland g
patron saint will not be characterized
by the pleasantest of weather Unless
Providence and the weather clerk take
hold of the matter at once and work
hard, the day will be stormy and disa-
greeable as to weather. But the people
who celebrate this day are class that
is not dismayed by lowering skies or
Indictment weather. The day will be
celebrated, rain or snow or shine. In
Missoula there has been arranged no
general celebration of the day and there
will be no formal exercises There
will, however, be plenty of good cheer,
and good old st. Patrick will receive
plenty of assurance that there are plen-
ty of people here who appreciate his
merit and the invaluable service that
he rendered to the Green Isle. AL
ready there is a lot of green ribbons
in sight and the shamrock vies with
the golden harp in the lavishness of its
display. Everybody who appreciates
the eminent service performed by the
good man takes at least the trouble of
wearing some emblem that indicates
that fact, The Wocdmen will celebrate
the day by giving a green domino party
at Union hall, and this promises to be
brilliant affair. There will be more
bright color displayed than has been
seen here for a long time.

RICH COPPER ORE.
one of the Biggest strikes Ever Made in
Montana


Mlssoula, March 16-There Is much
excitement in the Copper Cliff district
over a discovery that has been made
IN the Copper Cliff mine. The men at
work in that property have run into a
pody OF copper ore that is said to be the
richest copper ore ever found in Mon
tana. 1t is rich in native copper and
black oxide. The body is said to be
large one and had been penetrated
to a distance of four feet, when the
water came in so rapidly that work
had to be stopped. a tunnel is now be-
ing run to tap the ore body and is now
in distance of 300 feet Three shifts
are at work and the tunnel is being
crowded as rapidly as it can be done.
The mine is now bonded by H. L.
Frank and Schmidt & zimmerman of
Butte. Patsey Clark is said to be in
terested in the deal. Agents of the hol-
ders of the bond have located all of the
country possible.
There are several claims in the dis
trict whose owners are elated over the
discovery. and experience mining men
who have seen the new ore say that 1t
is all that has been claimed for it, if
the body is as large as is expected.
