DEATH OF M. FAURE.

The president of the republic of France
suddenly died yesterday, the 10th instant,
from apopleXy. He was working in his
room to the moment he was taken with
his fatal illness, literally dying in the
harness.
President Faure was, doubtless, a well
meaning man, but, possessing only a me-
dunn mentality and many of the foibles
incidental to those of limited brain power,
he probably failed to do as much for
France as a more powerful intellect may
have accomplished.
The death of President Faure leaves
France in a rather uncertain, if not in a
truly embarrassing condition. The re-
public it seems. is ripe for the first man
who has the holiness, the hold upon the
people. the brains and the firmness to
make himself the master of her destinies.
Who that man will be is not clearly pointl
ed out at this writing. While fears may
be entertained that some sprig of royalty
may place himself at the head of the re-
public and shape its destinies in the di-
rection of a kingdom, it is hardly prob
able that the great masses of the French
people will be diverted from a republican
history very fast during the next few
days.

Secretary Alger may be, in some meas
ure, responsible for that bad beef our SOL
diers at Santiago were compelled to face
at their mess tables, but the hooting OF
that Boston mob, when the secretary APP
peared there yesterday, proved nothing
more nor less than that the hub of the
universe has about as many hoodlums
as any other city of it's size in the world.

expected Of those who are devoid of those

The Montana statutes provide album
penalties for murder, highway rob-
berry and for other infractions of the law.
These penalties do not appear to cut
much of a figure with men who set out
to rob and murder, if needs be. They
whip out a gun, give the command to
throw UP hands, and the rest of the busi-
ness is lone in short order. The victim
tells his story to an officer while the Of
fender may be taking a square meal, or
practicing his vocation in any other part
of the city. But he is seldom if ever
caught. The penalty is all right, but
the difficulty lies in the inability of the
officers to find the men to suffer it. There
is the rub.

THE ANTI-GAMBLiNG LAW.

Opposition to our present anti-gamb!ing
law is based upon two propositions; the
first is the penalty is SO severe for vio-
lating the measure that it is about impos-
sible to find a jury that will convi the
offenders; the second is, gambling will
continue regardless of law, and that the
best thing to do is to take all brakes off
and compel gamblers to take out licenses,
and thus pay quite a sum into county
treasures. 1t is possible that a jury may
be found that will refuse to infict a
penalty upon an offender against a law,
simply because the penalty is too great
Cor the offense committed, but that jury
would not be doing its duty. But it tram
spires that the law is not too severe in
that respect. 1t seems the difficulty lies
with our peace officers and not with the
law. Those officials do not seem to exert
themselves to any great extent to bring
the gambling fraternity to justice. If
been running faro and other tables right
in the heart of Butte, unmolested by any
one. The knights of the green baize have
nothing to fear from a law which they
violate with such marked impunity.
They have not been arrested, and hence
none can truthfully say that juries hest
tate to impose penalties upon them on &C
count of their severity.
Our stockmen insisted upon a law sew
eral years ago to protect them from the
encroachments of home cattle thieves

cause the crime is not commensurate

THE FINANCIAL CENTER,

The United States are doing quite we'll,
thank you. AS a nation it is and has
been superlatively prosperous, and is eX-
citing the wonder and admiration of the
people of competitive nations of the
world and the jealousy of not a few of
them. We have long since outgrown de-
pendence upon foreign countries for ma
terial and moral support. In fact we are
more or less boldly aggressive, and, being
conscious of our power, we are impatient
of interference with out rights. Indeed,
we are a great people.
The financial center of Europe is being
gradually but surely transferred from
London to the city of New York. Fol
centuries the former has been the money
center of the world, 1t can hardly claim
to be that now the new world is demand
ing recognition as a financial center. This
sounds like an extravagant statement,
but facts will bear it out. There are to-
day being held by New York city banks

1t is said that so strong is our position
as a creditor nation that the great benk-
ers of Europe would hesitate to make
new financial commitments without as
surances tina our demands for the liqui-
dalton of International indebtedness

ers, instead of those Of London, are being
opened to quite an extent. Last year
Mexico borrowed of New York bankers in
preference to those abroad, which goes
to show tina London is not the only

also speaks volumes for the high standing
of this country in the money world. 1t is
