known as the Northwest, including the
region of Kansas.
Before the Pierce administration was
many months old, measures were re-
ported in congress for the territorial
organization of Nebraska and Kansas,
one section in the measure asserting
that the Missouri compromise be in
operative and void. thus removing the
prohibition against the spread of
slavery over the proposed new terri
tories. 1t was matter of immense
Importance. Kansas as organized in
cluded large part of the Colorado of
to-day, it stretched far westward to-
ward Utah. New Mexico included all
of Arizona; Utah included all of Ne
vada. With Kansas in the pros slavery
column. it would be possible to spread
influences which would insure to the
slavery side of the contention a mem
bershp in congress that would make
the anti-slavery element a permanent
minority
The battle was fought out in Kansas
at the time when Mr. Tabor was resi-
dent there. In respect to population
and resources the Kansas constituency
was miserab1y weak in those days.
The population of Kansas proper was
about eight THOUSAND there were about
three thousand legs! votes in the terri
tory. Many of the settlers, like Tabor,
were New Englanders; they had made
their way amid many privations to
what was then the Far West-there
was then no dream Of a railroad across
Iowa or Missouri. Had the question
submitted to the citizens in Kansas
been dealt with on its merits, the con-
clusion in favor of the anti-slavery side
would have been emphatic. But at the
first election there were more than six
thousand votes cast-a poll far beyond
the proper total. This vote was rolled
up by invaders from Missouri, who
swarmed into Kansas and, with bois-
ferrous disturbance and threats of vio-
lence, forced an election which gave a
majority for a pro-slavery legislature.
No mans life was safe in Kansas
in those historic days. The intrepid
fight made by the lawful settlers, in
opposition to slavery, was Intensely
patriotic and dramatic and thrilling in
many of it's incidents. There We're
rival legislatures, one of which was
finally dispersed at the point of the
bayonet under orders given by Presi-
dent Pierce. The late Mr. Tabor was
member of that legislature, and living
in Montana to-day are men who were
participants in the tragic events that
made Kansas a field of blood. No
human being dreamed then that Abra-
ham Lincoln's emancipation proclama-
ton was only seven years distant.

was-the Wolcott commission serves its
useful and lasting purpose for the Nc
Kinley goldbugs. To the suggestion
from London that the discussion of
silver could get it's start in a conference
about ratio for a reopened India mint,
the Mckinley reply was that England
hadn't taken up the thing year be-
fore, when Wolcott was in London--and
that was all there was of the reply.
Evidently the pledge to promote re-
cited in the st. Louis platform, had
its run in the Wolcott commission. For
the purpose of an outward show, VOL
colt was sent abroad: for the private
purposes of the goldDugs, the admins
tration's treasury department and other
agencies "queered' Wolcott, and then
f1attered itself that it had squared it
self with the American public, as far as
the pledge to promote plank is con-
cerned.
The correspondence that came from
London yesterday, together with the
bluebook testimony. will be mighty
valuable material in next years ma
tional campaign. 1t proves the purpose
of the McKinleyites to suppress silver
discussion with England.

Governor Roosevelt has left Albany
far behind. He had an ovation in
Chicago, and the press reports describe
the tumult of enthusiasm with which
the students at Michigan's far-famed
university welcomed him yesterday.
Even if he should come as far west
as Montana, Governor Roosevelt would
not feel that he was far away from
home. He is acquainted with this
state; he really knows a good deal more
about it than a good many people
whose home Montana has been for
years Travelling on his rough-rider
shape, Governor Roosevelt is received
everywhere with outbursts of popular
approval. Every mile he journeys brings
to him new proofs that, even on the
score of good standing with the pub
lie, it pays him well to have been
open and manly and earnest in his de-
nunciation of Alger methods; Roose-
welt was one of the first Of the soldiers
in Cuba who let the people know that
Alger management was rottenness.
Of course. it is altogether impossible
for Roosevelt to snatch next summers
republican nomination for the presi-
dency-Hanna would take his chances
even with Alger himself rather than
let the rough-rider man have it. OF
course, if Mckinley lives, Hanna will
not be driven to that expedient. Just
the same. however, Governor Roose-
welt is one of the men whom Hanna
doesn't like at all; Roosevelt was in
disfavor, because he was too frank
when, as assistant secretary of the
navy, he served in the Mckinley circle
When the war broke out, the whole
Mckinley coterie was glad enough that
Roosevelt enlisted and that the depart
ment was rid Of him. Roosevelt made
them all sorry little later in the
game.
Probably Governor Roosevelt himself
doesn't share the almost universal
opinion that he is not the republican
party's man for 1900 He is irrepress-
ible; all the marks on his present
trip are of the presidential aspirants
brand. Yet it may be, that the sec
ond place on the ticket would suit the
governor. He'll not get that with
Mark Hanna's consent; and, really,
first place in the executive mansion at
Albany is a better thing than running
second with Mckinley.

A Police Investigation.

\ /HILE it is not the province of
wv a newspaper to anticipate the
work of a police committee, it
certainly is not out of place for the
STANDARD to express the hope that the
police committee of Butte's council,
which meets this evening, will investi-
gate the charges preferred against Of
ticers Sheehey and OMeara without
fear or favor. Brutality in a police Of
ficer cannot be countenanced in the
community, and 1t will not be.
There have been a number of COM
plants of similar nature to those now
pending against members of the police
force, and if the charges made against
these officers are proven there should
be no hesitancy in dispensing with their
services. Such men can bring only dis
credit on an administration and to de-
fend police officers in wrong doing is
to condone the wrong doing.
Both sides will, of course, be fully
and fairly heard at to-nights investi-

will act promptly. that there will be

A Banner Year.

THERE ought to be a pull all to-
gether to make this Butte's
greatest year. Just now there
is a little cloud on the horizon in the
shape of the closing of the works of the
Boston & Montana company, but this
can only be a temporary trouble. In
the nature of things it is not possible
that such splendid property should
long be in the hands of a receiver
Meanwhile the employees of the COM
pany have the sympathy of the COM
munity, and all Butte's people earnest
ly hope that the mines will soon again
be in operation.
But. in spite of this cloud. which it
is believed will soon be dissipated, the
signs are that the year will be a most
prosperous one for Butte. Copper is
still high, with every prospect of a large
demand, thus insuring that the Butte
properties will be kept working full
forces indefinitely. When men are at
work merchants are prosperous: and
the stores of Butte are doing a splendid
business. Two merchants who had
their spring openings on Monday re-
port that they never did better bust

He Was in Kansas.

yOU will find yourself at the pages
" of one of the most thrilling chap
! tiers in American history If you
trace back to their realities the lines
in which yesterdays printed biograph-
les of the late Horace Tabor mentioned
that he lived in Kansas from 1855 until
1859, and that he took part in the poll
tics of those memorable days
During the years that are included
there, Kansas was the storm center
in the agitation over the question of
slavery in the United States. Frank
lin Pierce was inaugurated president in
1858. He made emphatic, in his inaugu-
raj address, the statement that he
would resist all attempts at renewal
of the agitation of the slavery question.
in or out of congress. This sentiment
was heartily approved by the people
of the North and the South alike. The
Missouri compromise, which practically
established boundaries within which
slavery might exist but beyond which
it must not extend. was accepted as an

Pierce's inaugural assurances pleased

to be a mockery. The older represen-

From London.

TT had not occurred to the people in
the administration circle at Wash
ngton that the American public
would learn through English sources
OF their derelcton in respect to silver;
until now the fact that London had
opened the way for a return to the
question of silver's coinage and to a
study of the question Of ratio, has been
wellguarded secret.
The proposition coming from a source
that commanded respect was that the
United States and Great Britain con-
Ter with a view to an agreement for
the opening of the India minis at GER
tain ratio. This proposition was urged
upon the attention of Mr. Hay while
he was at the court of st. James. His
plea was that as he was an "outgoins"
ambassador he would have mo power"
in the matter. He was then reminded
that as he was to become secretary of
state, his influence in the matter would
be of great account; it was Lord Alden
ham who testified to this. He is a
director of the Bank of England, and
what has just been given to the public
in this country under London date is
blue-book evidence obtained by the
1ndian-currency inquiry.
Il pointed out" says Lord Aldenham
in his testimony, when talked with
Colonel Hay, the fact that when he got
back to America and assumed the office
of secretary of state, he would have
n SlfoI hi
nicate with me. He waited for some
time after his return, I think nten-
tionally, until after the congressional
elections, and then he wrote to me-"
Yesterday mornings London date dis
patch touching this matter quotes the
letter which, at his leisure and after
the congressional elections, Secretary
Hay wrote. 1t is this: THE Washing
ton cabinet does not consider it expe-
dent for the United States to reopen
the bimetallic question, in view of the
character of the British minister's reply
to the bimetallic commission in 1897"
Thus that Wolcott commission will
be made to do duty, as an excuse for
the administration goldbug policy, to
the emu OF the chapter. The Mckinley
platform currency plank was a weak
pledge that the administration would
do what it could to promote" interna-
tional discussion of the question of sill
ver's restoration. The result of the
WolcOtt visit to London-no silver man
ever had faith in the junket-was ex-
actly what Mr. Hanna had prayed for
and what he did his best TO bring about

| agents; Mr.. Wolcott himself as much
as said. when he returned home, that it
was idle 70" him to plead for silver in
London al the very moment when the

ton was trying to trip him and when
American agencies at London were
spreading the report that the Mckinley
administration really was not earnestly
for a conference or for anything else in
silver's interest. y
