FRAUD ADDED TO FOLLY.

FRAUD ADDED TO FOLLY.
soldiers invaded Missoula county and ar
rested a uinbe of men, in violation of
the laws of Montana, and hauled them
over into Idaho, without the formality
of acquisitions or warrants, Governor
Smith wrote a milk and water letter to
inquire if that officer had been showing
any discourtesy to the civil authorities!
He received in reply a letter from Gem
eral Merriam to the effect that no dis
courtesy toward the civil authorities of
Montana had been intended-that all
that he had lone was to direct Lieuten-
ant Lyons to go over into Missoula
county and arrest men and haul them
over into Idaho! To this letter Governor
Smith made rejoinder, thanking General
Merriam for not having been guilty Of
any ~discourtesy to the civil authorities
in arresting men in this state in violation
of law, and ~applauding that federal Of
ficer for the course that had been pur-
sued.
Reference merely is made to these let
ters in this connection, as they have
heretofore appeared in these columns in
full. Interest is renewed in the CORE
spondence, however, by reason of the
.-1 20 A. cJ1-~ %o1o-,~o-~,
from the managing editor of the New
York Journal to Governor Smith:
I congratulate you on your refusal to
let General Merriam usurp state rights
and violate the national constitution by
wholesale arrests without due process Of
law.
From the foregoing it will be seen that
fraud has been added to folly-that a de-
liberate and systematic attempt has been
made to make it appear in the east that
the governor Of Montana took strong
grounds against the military invasion of
nor's friends in trying to distort the facts
In his interest is only euualed by that Of
his exeellency in cheerfully accepting ap-
plause for an act he neither contemplated
nor performed.
1t is known to every Montanian who
has taken the pains to acquaint himself
with the facts, that General Merriam sent
Lieutenant Lyons into Montana to make,
arrests, under the Geographic sanction
Of the governor-that men were arrested
without state warrants, az our laws re-
quire, and were taken into another state
.by the military authorities, without a
requisition alleging any Grim against
them-that Governor Smith permitted
this to be done, uttering no word of i'm
piled protest until after the arrested par
ties had been taken out Of the state-that
he then condoned the course pursued by
Merriam, and has made no effort to have
the men returned for preliminary exams
ination in this state-that the fact re-
mains undisputed that the military au-
.thorities entered the state of Montana in
times Of profound peace and made ar
rests in violation Of the law, and took
their prisoners out of the state, and that
no step has been taken by the democratic
executive to correct the outrage.
n yet he is posing in the a s as a
Jacksonian of the old school, who seized
the federal authorities by the nape Of
the neck and the equatorial bulge of the
pantaloons and deposited them on the
other side of the state line with a sicken-
ing thud!

IN PRAISE OF DEWEY.

It has been truly said that all is not
gold that glitters. When measured from
the standpoint of sincerity much of the
praise now accorded Admiral Dewey by
the democratic press is worse thar dross.
The naval achievement that gave to the
directing genius of the Asiatic squadron
a worldwide reputation was the same
achievement that led to American occu-
pancy Of the Philippines, and the era Of
expansion to which the democratic news
papers Of the north and west SO strenu-
ously object. Had Dewey failed to sink
the battleships Of Spain in Manila bay
had Montejo repealed the famous ante
breakfast assault upon his sleepy fleet
the trend of history would nave been
sufficiently changed to have prevented
the expansion idea from taking root as
a political issue before the people of this
country.
With Dewcy's victory came the respon-
sibility of following up one advantage
| with another, resulting in the downfall
of Manila and the planting of the Ameri-
can flag on the soil of the Spanish arch
ipelago. In the fortunes of war that
country fell into our hands, and the
problems of expansion We're written in the
algebra Of American history. To those
who welcome the idea as consistent with
the trend of manifest dsstiny-as a part
of the plan that seems clearly outlined
for our republic to follow-Dewey's great
victory has a most remarkable signifi-
canoe in leading up to its sequence--the
ownership of the Philippines. To those
who look upon the policy of expansion az
dangerous to our form of government
and a menace to the liberties of the
American people, Dewey's victory must
seem little less than a disaster.
And yet we fine the an~ti-expansion
wspaper vieing with each other in
Understanding encomiums of the great
admiral as he sails from the scene of the
exploits that made him famous as the
foremost naval fighter of the world, to
meet the enthusiastic greetings of his
admiring countrymen. Their sincerity
may we'll be doubted. Men who have
cried down the efforts Of General Otis to
carry on the work made necessary by
Dewey's v~ictory-men who have demand
ed the recall Of the troops and the lower
ing of the flag placed on the ra1nparts of
Manila by the man they profess to honor
cannot be accredited with any heart
felt desire to do honor to the returning
chiestain of the south Pacific.
Their praise Of Dewey SOUNDS very like
the cynbals that tink.ed when demo-
cratic sentiment did its utmost 10 force
the national administration into a war
with Spain. that it might c~riticise its
victor s and condemn is defeats. If Ad-
miral Dewey is entitled to the applause
of the American people it is not alone
because he sailed into the bay OF Manila
ard destroyed the beau ideal ba. ,leships
that had plowed the Spanish main, bu,
because his victory was the great history
maker Of the century-the forerunner of
events that will introduce a new era of
national Importance for the republic.
1t was not the turning back of the
Persian, hosts that made the battle of
Marathon ~great-but because that act
