The imperial authorities are unable to

The Americani:ed Emixrant.

I have remarked, for my part. that
the Americanization of the European
emigrant is the result of success. The
man who succeeds becomes American
with facility truly prodigious, but he
who fails remains European.
Thus it is that certain part of Chi
cago constitutes veritable interna-
tional sink where the French, the
Swedes, the Germans, the Slavs, the
Italians, dwell in groups, retaining in
their misery the distinctive marks of
their nationality, the language and the
habits of their races
On the other hand, the Amerioaniza-
tion Of the others is perhaps not so COM
plete at bottom as it is in appearance
The future alone can tell 1t remains
true none the less that in a single gen.
Grafton Europe seems to have lost all
influence over the sons of those who
have abandoned her to fix themselves in
the new world, and who have been able
to make any position for themselves
there, however modest. There is in the
air they breathe, in the life they live,
something which takes their youth,
their enthusiasm, and inoculates it in
some way with all the hereditary Amer.
ican possessions and ideas. Paris Re.

Curious italian Cigars.

A curious cigar seen in the Italian
quarter of the city, where it is made
and sold, is about z Il inches in length
and very slender, being not much big
ger around than an all tobacco cigarette,
and almost uniform in size for the
greater part of its length. At the end
that is placed in the mouth this cigar is
made around a piece Of straw an inch
and half in length, which projects
about "a quarter Of an inch clear of the
tobacco. When the cigar is made, a
broom splint long enough to reach al
most to the lighting end of the cigar is
run through the straw, and the cigar is
made around that. The broom splint is
cut long enough SO that quarter or
half an inch Of it projects clear of the
straw mouthpiece.
When the cigar is to be smoked, the
broom splint is withdrawn. The open
ing through it where the splint was
makes the cigar draw freely. and the
section of straw at the slender end
keeps the cigar open there These
cigars, made Of strong, dark tobacco,
are sold at retail for a cent each. New

The commerce of these islands has
been estimated by some authorities at
500, 600, 900 year, but it is probably
much greater, the chief exports being
sugar, tobacco and hemp or Manila
cigars the yearly product is several hun
dred million, one factory alone employ
ing 10, 900 hands, and of Manila hemp
the yearly product is probably 200, 0OO
tons. One factory in Manila produces
$1,000, 900 cigarettes in a single year.
The imports are also of enormous
value. The United States sends the
Philippines chiefly kerosene oil and
-four, while England, Germany and
France sell them print cloths, white
drilling, hardware, canned goods, etc.
There are other large towns in the
islands, but most Of the imports are
landed at Manila and are shipped to
them by local steamers One company
alone has 81 steamers engaged in local
and coastwise trade, their ships ranging
in size from 500 TO 5000 tons-Isaae

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE.

Democracy in Montana is con-
Quoting its business in a manner not
calculated to win the confidence of
the people. The speech of White
sides to democratic Legislature is
one of the richest items the papers
have had to print for long time.
1t ought to be framed and hung on
the walls of the demecrctic commit
tee rooms as the "Mene, meme, tekel
upharsin' Of their career.
Last fall the people were told to
elect democrats to the Legislature
and insure silver man in the Unit
ed States senate. Today the peo-
pie are told that after doing the best
they can, they are not sure of get
ting silver man for the senate.
Last fall the big lying placard with
monstrous box car letters said "a
fOto 1OI IHcSt tlcdilS SiA NOlCS lOi
w. G. Conrad for senator" Then
the credulous constituency beholds
the spectacle of two of "these" und-
er the stoutest imputation of Doodle
voting against Conrad.
Laws needful for the state are not
being passed, and the days of pro-
baton are fast drawing to a close.
If the Legislature does not de better
in its finish than in the start the peo-
pie of Montana will not be likely to
accept democratic promises again.
The sound of warning is already
being voiced by the Great Falls
Tribune whose support was given to
democracy in the electioen. White
sides says democrat is in politics
for what he can steal, and without
being specific or personal, it looks
as if Whitesides is about right.

Spain's status in the Philippines at
the time we bought them was about
the same as England's in the colonies
after Burgoyne's surrender. Had We
been sold out by England to pow
erful nation. as the Philippines are
sold to this government, before we
would have yielded to foreign SOW
ereignty, every drop of our heroic
blood would have been split in the
cause of freedom. Has this govern
ment so soon forgotten the golden
rule, or is it buried out of sight by
the cyclone of greed which is sweep
ing over our once oppressed land?-

A STATES DISGRACE.

Truth is dead. Honor is dead!
Justice, manhood and integrity are
dead-and buried.
We feel inclined to say with the
Rev. Jeremiah Rounder, of Butte,
that ''you can't bribe God" And
we also feel inclined to add that He
is about the only person that you
can't bribe.
We have said in these columns
that the state is indebted to w. A.
Clark of Butte for the stand he took
against the Anaconda company and
Marcus Daily in the capital fight, and
for that reason alone our sympathy
was enlisted in his behalf for the po-
sition of United States senator-pro-
vided he could on his merits obtain
that honor.
But when he had to resor, to pur-
chasing that position-right there he
loses the respect of every honorable
citizen.
Aside from the stand he took in
the capital contest he has not one
single qualification Except wealth.
to entitle him to seat in the U. S,
senate.
In the report of the grand jury,
sworn to hunt down those charges OF
corruption and bribery, and punish
the guilty ones, this language was
used:
"All the evidence introduced be
fore US, would not, in our judgment
warrant conviction by a trial jury
The supporters of Clark have said
that the $50, 900 turned over to the
state, and the testimony of Whiteside
and others, was part of a conspiracy
calculated to injure the candidacy Of
Clark.
Then why in the name of God did
MT the grand jury indict the con
spirators? Somebody put up that
money; Somebody is guilty.
The grand jury is fraud and a
farce. but the guilty ones will
one day come up before Judge and
jury that they can't bribe, when they
will be judged according to their
works.-Clancy Miner.
