REPRESENTATIVE GARR'S POSITION.
Is Much Concerned About the Reputation
He Is Gaining.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Feb. 13.-Representative Carr
of Flathead county is much concerned
over the reputation that he is obtaining
all over the state by reason of having
introduced the now notorious house bill
6S, for the repeal of the anti-gambling
law. Mr.. Carr says that he is placed in
a false position; that he had no part in
the preparation of the bill; that he in
troduced it by request, it being repre-
sented to him that the effect of the bill
would simply result in reducing the
severity of the penalty for gambling.
Mr.. Carr denies emphatically that he is
in sympathy with the bill and desires
to have corrected the impression that
he is pushing the bill.

This is ihs advise our consul at Hong
Kong Is said to have given Aguinaldo

prisoners that were In TIE lsttsr's hands.
II was distinct encouragement to treat
them with lrutality and cruelty. "Han-

Spaniards did treat their Filipino prIs-
oner1 IL was with shocking barbarity.

advice rs Wildman gave him. Why urge
a man who Is natural savage, blood
thirsty and cruel. to handle the Span
iarus as they would handle him. If Con-
sui Wildman's letter Is genuine. it shows
that Aguinaldo was not regarded as a
savage by Wildman but. OF tue contrary,
us a person of such humane instincts that
he was in danger of tresting tie Span
iards too leniently. What 1t shows IS
regards Wildman's own instincts 1t does
not seem necessary to point out. Wild
man was once rebuked by the State de-
partment for his bunptiousness and II
the department had known all that he
was doing 1t would doubtless have given
him notice to quit.

Evidence continues to aooum ulate that
Gen Otis IS not the proper man to con-
duct the campaign in the Philippines
His recent operations around Manila are
feyerely criticizsd. by army officers In
Luzun as wasting the lives of American
soldiers without any sufficient recon-
perss The territory overrun by the
American troops had to ne abandoned
almost as soon as 1t was taken. Com
plant Is also made by the New York
Herald's correspondent who is an i'm
perialist in sympathies, that the hospital
service at Manila is bad, and that Gen,
Otis will not recognize the need Of more
medical officers. nurses, and hospital
room. Hundreds of sick, the correspon-
dent alleges, era lying in dirty tsnts,
though for months the extreme need of
more substantial quarters has constantly
been imprt ssed on Gen. Otis. Admiral

Recently the President appears to have
become convinced that hs did not gauge
public sentiment quite correctly IN Feb
rusry, for his recent speeches foreshauow
programme from which the feature CT
self-government for the Filipinos appears
TO be absent. He appears now to believe
that the PEOPLE want the Philippines
held permanently and their people gov
erned practically as our subjects. Should
further investigation prove that he Is
mistaken doubtless he will revert to the
programme fursshadowed in his Boston
speech, for. If we understand him Alright,
he has no desire to force upon the coun-

The Anti Imperaiist Leagues criticism
Of operations in the Philippines was
directed chiefly at the President. This
ne do not think Is just Congress made
the Philippines part of the country, and
left them, so to speak, upon the President
hands. He certainly could not yield up
this country's sovereignty over them. If
hs were disposed to, nor could he offer
their people Independence at any future
time without the consent of Congress. 1t
seems to us that the real responsibility
fur our Philippine policy, or lack of poll
cy, rests with Congress. If that body had
dsclared, as 1t did in the case of Cuba,
that 1t was tie intention of this govern
ment simply to hold the Philippines
until they were ready for self-govern-
ment, this fundamental complaint against
our Philippine policy that 1t proposes to
permanently hold people in subsection
without their consent would have been
removed. Congress did not do IL, though
10 had ample opportunity, and Congress

George Weshington's words and ex-

everyone has heard, but little Houlton

The announced intention of the Queen
TO cali out ths mi ntia is creating good
deal of surprise and specula ton as to its
meaning. 1t Is not probable that any
mora troops win be needed for the war In
South Africa than are already there or
on the way, and the militia are not sum-
mnned with any thought Of sending them
thither. The most probable explanation
Is that they are called out for the purpose
OF impressing upon continental Europe
that England is a strong military as
well as naval power. In the hope of thus
checking any combination against her
which may be Matching among the other
European powers. When the German
emperor some years ago sent an ELUSIVE
congratulatory despatch to Kruger, Eng
land put in motion a great flying squad
ron. evidently for the purpose of impress
ing the young war lord. This calling
ont Of the militia has In view, probably,
similar object.
