THE SENTIMENT IN MONTANA.

Senator w. A. Clark, in his address to
the Montana soldiers at Butte, last Mon
day, said:
Il believe the sentiment largely
prevails in this state that wherever
that flag is raised whoever dares to
meddle with it must take the conse-
quences."
That he has judged correctly 70 one
will dispute. The anti's in Montana are
extremely scarce and the followers of
Agulnaldo who prescribe a missionary
diet for the pacifcaton of the Philip
pine insurgents are small potatoes and
few in hill
The sentiments of the people in Mon
tana are almost unanimously in favor OF
expansion, and there exists a determlna-
tion of teaching the followers of Aguin-
aldo how to respect our colors which all
the arguments and pleas of the Atkin-
sons fail to change.

When the child is a year old, the oper-

child's ear is pinched till it is numb,
when a needle is run through and the
thread after it till the tassel hangs over
the lobe, where it is secured. Of course
the child often makes considerable OBJ

there is kitten anywhere near it's ears

THE CHAMPION OF HAWAII.

Hawaii will share with Montana the
honor of Senator CIarh's services in
Congress next winter. Senator Clark
went to the islands a few months ago to
study their needs and has made large
investments there which he will follow
up With the buiIdlng Of summer home
He has also constituted himself the
special legislative champion of Hawaii
and is already at work to secure for it a
territorial form of government like that
of Arizona and New Mexico. A bill to
that effect was prepared in the last Con
gress and will be revived early next
winter and vigorously pushed.

ton. England, Germany, Russia, or
Japan would have attempted this,
and would have fought Aguinaldo as we
are doing, only the situation would have
been in ensely aggravated by the inhu-
euce of jealous rivals.
We have made the Philippines part of
the United States. and are endeavoring
to suppress a turbulent or predatory
tribe in that section of our country-iust
as we fought the Seminoles in Georgia
and Florida, the Cherokees and Creeks
in Alabama and Mississippi, the Com.
manches and Apaches in Texas and New
Mexico, the Modocs and Klamaths IN
California and Oregon, the Sioux in
Dakota and so on.
There can be no doubt that in the very
near future the Philippines will be as
valuable and necessary parts of the
United States as California and Oregon
and Florida are to-day. The establish
ment of peace will be followed by rush
of Americans to develop the unsurpassed
riches of the islands. All that they need
to become garden spot of the world is
an influx of American business capacity
and energy. Within few years Ameri-
cans will more than duplicate there the
marvellous performance of the Dutch of
Java, where in three-quarters of CEN
tury people of the same blood as the
Filiplnos have been raised from murder
Gus, rapaclous barbarism to a high de
gree Of civilization, the population SEX
tupled and the island covered with
farms, school houses, churches, comfort
able homes and good roads. The man
who denies the possibi ity and proba-
bility of this, simply slanders his coun-
trymen by attributing to them less
capacity, honesty and humanity than
the Dutch. He belongs to that desplc-
able class which is perpetually dispar-
aging their own people, and comparing
them disadvantageously to Europeans
And the man who gives Aguinaldo aid
and comfort is a traitor. upon whose
head must be the blood of every Ameri-
can killed in most righteous war to
bring civilization to a part of the earth
cursed by barbarism.
