In the Court Room.

~ HE smoke problem was not solv-
ed, as the result of yesterdays
proceedings in Judge Lindsay's
court, but what happened there was CT
ACCOMPLISHMENT stakes were set.
The reader will remember that, in
their joint letter to the county attor-
ney, last Friday the smelter man
ayers said this: Believing that you
have the authority to do so, we re-
quest that you, as county attorney,
select and appoint a commission of at
least three competent engineers 81
and that such commission make a thor
ough investigation of the subject and
submit plans for the construction of a
flue or of flues ii and also make
full and complete report on the sub
ject which, with said plans, shall be
filed in your office as soon as made ard
to which we may have access
This is what the smelter managers
proposed. Their proposition may be a
case of good faith-it certainly does
not look that way. If it is good faith
tlllS pIupuelllOn is display, on the
part of the smelter managers, of
astounding ignorance of the local insti-
tutions under which they live. You
would expect the average high school
boy in Butte to laugh at the idea of the
appointment of any commission by the
prosecuting attorney of Silver Bow
county-that isn't what county attor-
neys are for.
However, the conclusion seems to
suggest itself, as the result of yester-
days session in the court room, that
the comical proposition made by the
smelter managers is the best they have
to offer-that appears to be the position
they took. Under these circumstances
the courtesy part of the affair appar-
emily has had it's run and the return
is to the proposition that the smoke is
a nuisance which, in the name of the
county, the court proposes to abate

1t Is An Issue.

II LREADY Secretary Ayers "em-
balmed beef" has attained the
width and length and height of
a national issue. When he gave his
testimony before the war departments
WhiteWash board, General Miles spoke
like man who knows good army beef
when he sees it, and he was positive in
the assertion Of his opinion that tons of
the beef furnished for the use of his
command We're unfit for human food
Miles, at that time, gave the expression
"embalmed beef to current literature,
Among others Chief Surgeon DAILY has
sustained with his testimony the evil
dence given by General Miles.
Meanwhile. General Eagan of the
commissary department is getting his
work in. He swears that the beef was
all right-it was he who started the
story that General Miles will be brought
to court-martial because OF his uncom-
plimentary reference to the stuff. Eagan
has already obtained word from all the
contractors who furnished the beef that
it was right up to the MARYLAND that's
no surprise.
Thus this matter is getting to be a
leading issue - the Inter Mountain
would call it a paramount issue, and

Governor Smiths Message.

n S shown in the message which
Governor Smith submitted to
the legislature, the treasury of
Montana is about $3S0000 to the bad
The asset against this indebtedness is
the uncollected tax for 1898. The show
ing is not a bad one; the debt is less by
few thousand dollars than it vas two
years ago-the message properly OK
presses satisfaction over the ain If
this state is wisely governed, the I'M
erring movement will be through rru-
dence in legislation and care in admin
fstration to lower this debt ana wipe t
out at an early day. There would be no
excuse for increasing the i ab.; 1t Ger
tainly ought to be paid up with reas-
spna BILE speed.
The public knows how it happened
that, soon after Montana's establish
ment under statehood and in succeeding
years of hard times, an excuse was
found for an annual deficit. Accepting
the debt as something that, Ierhaps,
could not be avoided, the determination
should be now to wipe it out, and the
foremost duty of the legislature, know
ing what its resources are going to be,
lis to cut the garment according to the
cloth.
The governors message suggests
ways whereby, in his opinion, this end
can be attained. The message proposes
certain added sources of possible reve-
nue. and, on the other hand, it proposes
measures for the curtailment of ex-
penses. These are outlined in the text
of the message which the Standard
prints this morning-a summary of
them cannot be made that would fairly
cover the recommendations made by
Governor Smith. If the matter of eX-
penses and taxes and sources of revenue
concerns you. you will find it well worth
your while to read all of the message.
Governor Smith gives a running sum-
mary of the condition of the state in
situations. Some of these are gradually
entering into the possession of an annual
revenue. This resource is, of course,
not large at present, but it is at any
rate helpful gain, and does its share
toward making the way smoother for
the young and struggling state instttu-
1ions.
In its entirety the message of Cover
NOR Smith is a highly creditable state
paper. 1t is as concise as is permitted
by the range of topics which are prop
erly brought under review. 1t is essen
italy a routine message, not dstin-
guished by any startling recommended
tions or hints at radical change in the
n ajf1iG Ta
tuai conditions in compact form.

How the Truth Comes Out.
~ HIS country's public is impa-
tiently awaiting tidings from
TloiIp We accepted firm, Spai,

~ HIS country's public is impa
| tiently awaiting tidings from
| Iloto. We accepted from SpaiI
a formal transfer of sovereignty over
| the Philippine islands; to all appear
ance we will now be compelled to re.
sort to arms wherewith to assert thai
authority.
Spain could not give to us the Ugh,
| sort of title--Madrid did not promise
to put us in peaceful possession of the
| archipelago. The Spaniards spent mil
! lions of money during years of fight
| ing, to assert their authority over the
| island, but all this money and all this
| effort went for nothing. AS tersely
stated in the Philadelphia Times the
| situation is simply this: 1T may be a
possible task to pacify the natives, if
! they want to be pacified. If they dom
if they hold out against American
sovereignty as they have held out
rious work.
OF course, every patriotic impulse
prompts Americans to predict that we
can subdue these rebellious islanders
like a book. But that isn't the point.
When we at first had those of the Phil
ippine people to deal with who were
huddled about Manila, the report in
dustriously spread by lovers of territor-
ial expansion was that these people
We're simply wild to come under the
i,,in re h. G
experience with the Aguinaldo set sat
isfied the public that this report about
the prevailing wish for annexation to
the United States was not at all true
Later on when the hostility of the
islanders to proposed annexation was
notorious public property, the plea of
the expansionists was that the men in
the Aguinaldo circles are a bad lot,
that Aguinaldo himself is a political
crook and that while there might be
some antf-American sentiment just
around Manila, this was not shared by
the Philippine people at other centers
and that with them American sovar-
eighty was altogether the popular
thing.
Well, we were first called upon to try
it on the Iloilo people. Their provinces
are wealthy and important; their town
is, next to Manila. the most important
one in the whole Philippine group. The
latest word is that these Iloilo people
propose to resist US by force and arms
this country is waiting for the report
of a battle between them and the forces
under General Miller. News of shat
engagement is likely to arrive at any
hour. Undoubtedly we shall win. But
the fact remains that those who have
been advertising an alleged wish among
the Philippine islanders for United
States sovereignty over them are
spreading lying report.
