Merry Christmas.

~ HRISTMAS comes but once
~ year and this is the day it
comes. In Montana, at least, it
will be a merry one. Preparations
have been in progress for weeks for
the observance of the great festival
on an extensive scale. The merchants
report heavy sales and an abundant
supply of money. When the results are
summed up it will be found doubtless
that the Christmas of 1899 has exceed
ed expectations The shop-keepers
have been kept busy for many days
and their army of clerks have known
little rest. But the siege is over at
last, and to-day all will eat, drink and
make merry Christmas. With what
curious joy and joyous curiosity the
mysterious packages will be unwrapped
at last and the gifts of loving friends
taken out and admired. What a good
time Christmas is anyway and every
way. To all it's readers the Standard
this morning wishes the very merriest
Christmas that has ever blessed their
lives

be borne in mind, didn't have to dc

So with those whose opinions are
based upon the real or imaginary
wrongs of the Uitlanders. They know
full well that no Englishman or other
foreigner need enter the Transvaal I'M
less he so desire, or remain there a
moment longer than he wishes to. They
know also that the classes referred to
go there merely to make money ard get
away again as soon as possible. Hence
their case does not involve any peculiar
hardship, or call for any extravagant
amount of sympathy. for clearly the
basis of the outlanders' entire grew
ance is purely mercenary one..
Upon the other hand there Is an i'm
mense amount of sentiment in the pro-
Boer feeling, and to this Is united a
very earnest conviction that their cause
is a just one. 1t may be that the out
landers have some reasons for COM

the Armenians in Turkey, and the IRISH
certainly think that they have received
something in the way Of injustice at
the hands of England herself.
The wrongs of the outland RS are per-
fectly trivial compared with those of
many other peoples that could be
named. And whatever they may be
they have full and complete remedies.
They can leave or they can obtain citi-
zenship upon the terms prescribed, and
thus have a voice in the making of the
