CLARK'S SEAT,

The Helena Independent is Of the

prevent Hon. w. A. Clark from taking
number of newspapers in this state share
that view of the situation. The fact that
the Anaconda Standard has changed its
tactics from an aggressive policy to the
more o~legeanous system of the still hunt,
has thrown a number of astute journal
lists off their guard. They latter them
selves that the organ of the anti-Clark
men has lain down, with a ruptured
octave. But, in the classical ~vernacular
of the coon hunters, 'they are barking
up the wrong tree
The anti-Clark men were never more
fully a%ccoutered in their fighting para
phernalia than at present. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose they are putting in all
their spare time accepting results. The
fact is. they confidently believe that the
results of the senatorial campaign have
not vet arrived. They intend to pry open
the vaults Of a bidder destiny and un-
cover a future which the Clark men are
not looking for. In short, the row that
is getting ready to make it's advent into
the senate chamber at Washington is in
training for a Knockout blow.
The anti-Clark men fully realize the
position in which they have been placed
by Mr.. Clark's election to the senate.
They know their future political prestige
and standing among men depends upon
their ability to make good their allega-
lions of bribery and fraud. They are in
a position from which honorable retreat
is Impossible. The contest must be waged
be tantamount to a confession that the
warfare made upon Mr.. Clark and his
friends was a put-up job, a diabolical
conspiracy, crime against common hon
csty and the accepted rules of human
decency.
1t is incumbent upon the anti-Clark
men to prove the honesty of their own
purposes in making the charges they did;
and, having given the state an unen-
viable reputation by reason of the allie
cations made, it is equally their duty
to yirdicate their statements and place
Montana right before the world. If we
understand the situation correctly, these
are the views of the anti-Clark men
which impel them to every effort to pre-
vent the seating of that gentleman.
The fight in Washington is getting in
| teresting even at this stage Of the game,
for the advent of Congressman-elect
Campbell and Editor Durstan in that city
is promptly followed by the appearance
of Mr.. Clark. 1t is hoped that the but
tonholes of the hold-over senators have
been extra hem-stitched in anticipation
of the ordeal.

ELECTRICITY IN THE NAVY.

Electricians, up-to-date men, fully
to manipulate and to direct
electric energies, are in demand. The
s,pply is not equal to the call for their
services, and the government, feehng the
necessity of their presence, will establish
a school of electricity at the Brooklyn
navy ward. The government proposes to
h,ild the most formidable squadron of
battleships, armored and unarmored
cruisers and gunboats ever added IN a
single year, to the American navy. The
guns of many of these will be handled by
electricity, an innovation recently in

Democracy and Silver.

The Standard is one Of the
newspapers that have felt that
an exact state ment of the ratio
is not a vital factor in si!ver's
restoration, The ratio is a mat
ter of law; it has varied slightly
in our own currency; our ratio
has also varied slightly from the
one that has ruled in some other
countries. The worlds ex-

The Butte Miners wing of the deinoc-i
racy, while confessedly for the ratio of
16 to l, in order to avoid anything that
looks like an agreement with the Stand-S
ard, is e~ndeavoring to fix up a "citizens'
ticket for the spring tournament in this
combine with the republican advocates,
of the st. Louis platform, as was done
in the campaign of last fall. IL
Under the circumstances it looks as if
the silver question is likely to have small
place in the politics of Butte in the APP
preaching election. A campaign in which
the Standard urged the election of its
ticket to aid the cause of silver, after 1t
has adopted the platform of the gold men
insofar as the ratio is concerned, would
be a height in the realms of political alb
surdity to which even that able family
journal would scarcely ascend. On the
other hand, the Butte Miner would be
compelled to place it's alleged friendship
for silver in the dry dock for repairs with
a 'citizens' campaign on it's hands, for
it's political coadjutors would not favor
the ~introductio of tina issue into local
politics.
The present outlook is that both wings
of the democratic party, that howled so

will plan along separate lines to reach
the same end-the elimination Of the
'paramount issue" from the politics OF
this city. Last fall there was no end of
talk about the moral effect of a silver
victory in the metropolis of the north
west; this spring it is clearly the purpose
of the democracy to evade that question
and eliminate it from the local campaign.
If the city election in Butte contributes
nothing to the strengthening of the silver
cause abroad the responsibility Will rest
wholly with the democratic party, one
wing of which has repudiated the ratio
of 16 to 1 while the other is anxious to lay
aside it's convictions in the hope of secur-
ing a temporary political advantage.

LOSING FIGHT.

1t was evident from the outset that the
Butte Miner would lose it's fight against
the circle on the official ballot. No one
legislative assembly Of entertaining any
proposition for the suppression Of iglo-
rance. Public sentiment throughout the
state favors the removal Of the circle, for
the average citizen believes that the voter
should have enough intelligence to be
able to read his ticket. But it is not a
question of public opinion, or a matter OF
right and wrong, with the democratic
politicians in this state. With them po-
litical expediency is alone involved.
AS was stated by prominent democratic
members of the state senate, 10000 voters
would be d~isfranchised if the circle was
remove from the official ballot. This
was used as an argument against the pro-
posed measure, but it was in fact a con-
fession thai men who are unable to read
hold the balance of power in democratic
to vote, on account of their inability to
find out who they are voting for, would
be to ultimately deprive the state of Mon
tana of the intellectual luxury of a demo-
cratic legislature.
If the circle was removed from the
official ballots the democratic party would
be compelled to surrender all hopes of po-
litical success in the counties of Deer
Lodge. Cascade, Lewis and Clarke and
Silver Bow. It requires no argument to
demonstrate to men who are familiar
with the conditions in these counties that
the democratic party would be indefi-
nitely stranded upon the shores of time
if every voter was compelled to read his
ticket in order to cast a legal ballot.
In the fight against removing the circle,
the majority of democratic leaders, in
Guiding his excellency the governor of
Montana, are lined up in favor of the
perpetuation of political ignorance.
The contention of the Butte Miner in
favor of removing the circle, while a
proper one, is unquestionably inspired by
a desire to secure a political advantage in
Butte in the fractional fight in he demo-
cratic party, and therefore lacks tbs
moral force and influence that might
otherwise have attached to it. That paper
favors the removal of the circle largely
for political reasons of a personal nature,
while other democrats oppose the measure
on account of like considerations. 1t APP
pears that the matter is not to be weigh
ed upon its merits, but Upon it's political
bearings on the future of the democratic
party. From such a standpoint of obser-
opinion that the contention of the Butte
Miner is wrong.

Over the Scare.

Judging from the growth of the
various beneficiary Orders, the
value Of fraternal protection is be-
ing more keenly appreciated every
where. 1t is becoming to be recog.
nized that Ivy no easier methods
can a man of moderate means leave
an estate OF value. He realizes his
family must not be left dependent
upon the charities of his neighbors,
and consequently the suggestion of
scheme by which this man be
avoided interests him at once, with
the result that he affiliates with
some beneficiary Order. With the
increasing membership comes the
inquiry: Ws the Order built upon
lines calculated to insure per-
petuity?" Naturally a raise in
rates follows, and one by one the
great Orders, the leaders, have
adopted plans that insure per-
manency. Every Order that has
bravely faced the issue is to be
praised for its noble stand, and,
although its membership at first
condemned the action, they soon re-
allied that it was for the best, and
are now working hard to build up
the Order.
The downfall Of one of the great
leaders would mean, literally, the
breaking up of all Orders. Being
universally known and recognized
as the leaders, the failure would be
so disastrous as TO put a serious

it is with pride that the record OF

A Grand Scheme.

The gigantic schemes Of master
minds in the commercial world
which are being pushed with every
assurance of ultimate success are
the wonder of the age. One of the
grandest under way is that being
pushed by James J. Hill, president
of the Great Northern railroad,
who is working out the details of a
great system of transit that will
stretch from London to Hong Kong.
The Great Northern railroad, as an
nounced several months ago, is
building a feet of passengers steam,
ers in England for transatlantic
service. These well be completed
by February 10, and ready for ser
vice by April. Mr. Hill has Just re,
turned from a trip abroad, whittier
he went to inspect the ships and tc
make traffic arrangements. Accord
ing to reports in railroad circles
the purpose of Mr.. Hill in gaining
control of the Baltimore and OhiC
was to complete a missing link il
his great chain of railroad anC
steamship lines. This system, it il
said, will consist of the North At
lantic Steamship Line, the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad from New
York to Chicago, the Wisconsin
Central between Chicago and st
Paul, the Great Northern from st
Paul to Seattle, and the japan

The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-11-22

The Industrial Commission, APP
pointed by congress, is finding out a
''few things" as it goes along, one
of which is that the only way to
control railroads is by governmental
ownership. The Post Dispatch says
that evidence taken before the com
mission shows very clearly that the
Interstate Commerce law is fiat
failure; that railroads give rebates
in violation of law, that the price Of
grain is absolutely fixed by five men
who are in combination with the
railroads, For many years this pa
per has openly advocated that the
government own and operate the
railroads. By disfranchising en-
ployes in the railway service, no
danger of oppression by an office
holding class, could result.
