smiles.

@RESENTLY Michigan will appear
~ before the public with another
martyr to some of the newspa-
pers and to his opinions and to our
foreign war. This new aspirant. next
on the list to Alger. is Senator Bur-
rows: he is feeling pretty badly
cut up.
In the beginning Senator Burrows
wasn't so very Warmly in favor of the
Luzon war. Nothing has occurred
since hostilities began that prompts
him to change his mind. He has not
been known, in fact, for his much
speaking, but he did indulge in a few
remarks on recent occasion, saying
nothing, however, that was a radical
departure from the views he had been
known to entertain.
In fact, what Senator Burrows did
say was. in substance. that all we need
in the Asiatic quarter is a coaling sta
ton and enough ground surrounding 1t
to turn around in comfortably-this he
said a year ago. But mildly and in
the way of prophecy, the senator
republicans will find it pretty hard
shedding in next summers presidential
campaign, if the war is still in
progress.
This. of course, in the eyes of the
administration oracles. is treason rank
and rabid. The organs have been I'M
| willing to let the senator's talk pass
unchalenged and, as is their wont, they
have been reckless and ugly in their
| comment. Il cannot see why these
newspapers object to my point of
view" remarked Senator Burrows, last
Saturday. Il have simply stated my
convictions. I believe that a coalins
station with needed surrounding ter
ritory is all we should hold near Ma
Mia I have said nothing that de-
serves censure, and l have the welfare
of the nation at heart"
So spoke the senator, last week, while
resting up at Kalamazoo. What de
serves censure" in current war talk, i:
one thing; what gets censure-that'
different. Yet Mr.. Burrows may b.
sure that the presidential press will
hammer away at him. He can bea
this punishment, although the com
planning tone of his talk last Saturda!
shows that he deems it to be persecu
ton. But he knows what will happen
twelvemonth hence William McKin
ley will go on his knees to Burrow
and beg him by all that's good t
save Michigan to the republican cleo
toral ticket.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-09

fessed to be satisfied, stands as the
creed of the democratic party until it
is changed by another national conven-
ton No assurance is needed, there is
no possible way of giving such an as
surance until the convention meets,
and no assurance will be accepted by
them. If Mr.. Bryan or Senator Jones
declares that the Chicago platform
must be reaffirmed, with the silver
question we'll to the front, they either
ignore it or insist that the declaration
counts for nothing. But let Mr..
Keeney express the opinion that silver
will not be the leading issue. instead of
taking the trouble to find out who
Keeney is, they join in a grand chorus
then they nestle still little closer to
the bosom of their Hanna.
1t is their privilege to love Hanna
if they want to, but they ought to be
honest enough to admit it, and not pre-
tend that they are merely taking ref
uge in his arms because they love sill
yer. Still, they are not altogether n
consistent. They want silver made the
paramount issue. Upon that point the
republican party will probably crafty
them, for its paramount" object will
be to kill the silver cause and bury
it beyond all hope of resurrection.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-08-09

~HOSE republican newspapers
w;,iti at one time gave S 'me
evidence of a sincere desire for
the restoration of silver, are still harp
ing on the question of paramount
| issue" In Montana and everywhere,
from the largest daily down to the
smallest weekly, we hear the same old
song. Without an exception so far
as we know, these papers are back bag
and baggage in the republican camp,
the alleged reason for their action he
! ing that the democratic party has
! abandoned silver, or, at least, no longer
makes it the paramount ISSUE
1t would naturally be supposed that
journals that breathe and feed and
live on their assumed devotion to the
cause of silver's reconciliation would
| give some manifestation of sorrow at
the thought of their cherished principle
! losing ground: far from it, they actual
! ly bubble over with pleasure every
| time they encounter an adverse express
sion from any democrat, prominent or
! otherwise. There can be no doub. that
their pleasure is genuine, for their ian-
| guage is unmistakable, and they can
! have no motive in affecting joy thet
| they do not feel.
Let the most insignificant democrat
| in the land intimate a doubt as to sill
yer being the leading issue in the next
| campaign, and he is instantly paraded
before the public as a great party lead
er speaking by authority. Let really
| prominent democrat suggest that other
! issues may receive some attention in
1900, and his words are distorted and
| perverted into total abandonment of
| the silver issue. Such a course leaves
nothing to be asked for in the way of
proof that their pretended opinion as
to the attitude of the democracy is
merely the expression of their desires.
The most singular feature in the
course of these newspapers is that they
actually seem to think that they are
deCeiving somebody. The ostrich is a
never-ending subject of ridicule be-
cause of his absurd habit of attempt
| ing to conceal himself by hiding his
I head in the sand: but these silver wor-
shippers are even sillier than the os-
trich, for they stand out from behind
every cover. and with a strong white
light beating upon them, they exclaim,
with the most serene and implicit con-
fidence: You can't see me-
They pretend that they want an as
surance that silver is to be the para
mount issue in 1900. OF course this is
mere by-play. They know as well as
