look the bank is quite right to put itself
in strong position
Here we have as complete a recog-
milton Of the cumulative principle as
it is possible to put into language. The
man who denies the theory of guam
tity in money, must stand ready to
defend the position that business man
or bank can do as much business
with one thousand dollars by simply
increasing the use Of credit, as he or
it could with hundred thousand. we
may discuss this point for the present
with a very simple query: Ii the guam
tity of money has nothing to do with
prices and business, why did the recent
shortage of money cause break In
stocks, and why did Mr.. Gage deem II
necessary to throw eighteen million
dollars Of additional gold into circu-
lation?

Gen. Young Heard From.

Washington, Dsc. To the relief of
the war department General Young has
been heard from after a weeks alb
8ence in the interior of Luzon. General
Otis cabled this morning as follows:
Manila, Dec. General Young re-
ports his arrival at Vigan on the even
ing of the 9Th, having encountered a
force of the enemy at Narbacam, -
miles south of the city, whom he drove
to the eastward of the same into San
Quentin canyon. His troops are now
pressing them back. The country is
extrtmely rough land strongly intrench-
ed. About 600 prisoners who escaped
reported the insurgents allowed all but
Americans and prominent Spanish
prisoners to escape from Bangued. La
ter the insurgents were driven back to
the mountains. Will send transporta-
ton with subsistence and medical sup

prisoners to Manila and to supply

Not a Promising Outlook.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
The Paris exposition for next year has
not very promising outlook. The Drey-
fus case was a wet blanket upon it, and
now the French press is so bitter toward
England that all England is incensed
The French press does not confine itself
to general terms Of abuse OF England, but
cartoons the queen and the Prince of
Wales shamefully. The prince is the
head of the royal commission of the Brit
ish section for the fair, and now he pro-
poses to resign and cut the whole bust
nuess. That would finish the fair so far
as England Is concerned Then there is
a good deal of lukewarmness in this coun-
try. France has not had a kindly word
for the United States since the war with
Spain was brought on, and a good many
people are debating whether it is worth
while to spend $3.50, 900 on an exhibit
and in visiting France or not. If the
French had a bit of sense they would
call down their newspapers.

The Question of Quantity.

has been observed, repeatedly, that
every essential argument Of the BIZ
metallists, is admitted by the cham
the silver question is under immediate
consideration.
This is notably the case with refer
ence to the cumulative principle. Illu-
strations innumerable have been given
showing the truth of this statement.
We find it constantly exemplified in the
opera tons of the treasury, in the
changing conditions of finances in Wall
street, in the conduct of the Bank of
England and in fact in the daily BUSH
ness affairs Of every individual.
If, as has been so often claimed, the
extension OF credit has had the effect

material, why is not a single gold dol
lar in the United Staes treasury as
good as two hundred millions, and why
have the people been burdened with
two hundred and sixty-two millions of
dollars additional interest bearing debt
in order to keep the gold reserve above
the one hundred million dollar mark?
Why does Wall street get frightened
over gold exports? Why Is there ever
any talk of scarce money in that
center? Why does the Bank of Eng
land put up the rate of discount in
order to protect it's gold reserve? Why,
in short. does any business man ever
fail, if the cumulative theory is an
"antiquated' pre- historic." fossil
lied" and utterly senseless" idea?
Why don't banks and business men
bridge over their difficulties by merely
extending their credit a little farther?
The answer is plain. They cannot.
They have already gone the limit in
the matter of credit, and have reached
a point at which actual money must
be Forthcoming or the credit will col
lapse.

- next to receive criticisms at the
hands Of those newspapers which are
finding fault with every movement
which has for its object the investiga-
ton of the charges of bribery connect
ed with the election Of Mr.. Clark. Mr..
Chandler introduced a resolution in
structing the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections to investigate the
right of W. A. Clark of Montana to re-
tain his seat. Like Fred Whiteside,
Congressman Campbell, Attorney Cen
eral Nolan, Charles S. Hartman and
Governor Smith, Senator Chandler
must now expect to receive a torrent
of abuse from those who are consist
entity opposing each and every action
which seems to be aimed at an investi-
cation of the manner of Mr.. Clark )
election.
1t makes no difference what course
may be pursued in this matter-those
who seem to be afraid that the secrets
of the Clark election may be exposed,
find fault with that particular course
1t makes no difference what men of
high standing may express the view
that Mr.. Clark is not worthy of the seat
he is occupying, or may endeavor to
forward an investigation into his cleo
ton, their actions are sure to be criti-
cised by those newspapers which are in
favor Of Mr.. Clark retaining his seat, no
matter what crimes may have been
committed to place him there. What
ever course may be pursued to bring
about the investigation of Clark's cleo
ton, the objection is made that that
course is not the right one. Whatever
man may take a prominent position in
this matter the objection is always
made that it was bad taste" or m
proper for that particular man to have
take part in the proceedings: that some
one else should have taken the promin-
ent part.
1t is very apparent that no course
which could have been decided on to
bring about the investigation would
have been satisfactory to those who
want no investigation. It Is apparent
that no prosecutor or complainant
would have been satisfactory to those
who want no prosecutors and no COM
plainants.
Like Whiteside. Campbell Nolan,
Governor Smith and the rest, Senator
Chandler will probably be able to stand
it.

Bryan's Running Mate.
n the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
Then, in 1885. the democrats tripped up
on their vice presidential nomination.
They selected man of ability and of ir-
reproachable life, but he had no political
following at home, and he failed to sat
isfy the populist allies. The populsts
We're so displaased, indeed, that they in
sisted on making vice presidential nom
nation OF their own. And thus Mr.. Bryan
found himself with one head and two
tails, and at a serious disadvantage on
that account. Mr. Watson was objection
able to the democrats, and Mr.. Sewall
to the populists. For next year Mr.. Bryan
should have but one running mate, and
he should be most judiciously chosen. And
maybe when matters pass the stage OF
mere personal compliment, and the proper
time comes, the Nebraskan will yield to
the necessity of expressing a preference.

Bloodiest of All Battles.

~ENERAL METHUENs little dis
~ patch to the effect that his bat
tie with the Beers at Modder
river was the bloodiest battle of the
century" has aroused a controversy in
the press Of this country and Of Europe.
In proof OF Methuen's claim. the Den
yer Republican publishes table show
ing the percentage Of losses in some
Of the great battles of the century. At
Jena 100000 men were engaged and the
percentage Of loss was %. At Water
loo the number OF men engaged was
139, sos, and the percentage of loss was
q. At Bull Run the number of men
engaged was 60,527. and the percentage
of loss was eight. At Gettysburg the
number of men engaged was 100000 and
the loss was 10 per cent. At Sadowa the
number engaged was 29i, 600 and the
loss II per cent. AT Gravelotte there
were 1000 men in the battle and the
loss was Is per cent. At Sedan the
number was $4,000 and the loss Is per
cent,
The Republican figures that the per-
centage of losses in the Modder river
affair was greater than in any of the
big battles it names. The Modder river
affair, however, could scarcely be char
acterized as anything more than a skir
mish. General Methuen's losses, ac-
cording to his official report, were ASP,
while in the three days fighting in
that vicinity the total reached 965 men.
That is a frightful percentage of loss,
considering the comparatively small
number of men engaged, but in the
civil war, in the Nap0leonic wars and
in the Franco-Prussian war engage
ments between such small bodies of
men would not be considered battles
and would hardly be dignified by an
Official report to the authorities.
If the number Of men lost in proper
ton to the number engaged, irrespec-
tive of how large CT small the contend
ing forces may have been, is to be con-
sidered in determining what is the
bloodiest battle of the century" then
surely Clusters battle with the Sioux
and Crow Indians in Montana is de-
serving of that designation. At Modder

A Step Forward.
~~HERE is hope that Butte's School

r~HERE is hope that Butte's School
of Mines will be equipped and
opened before another year has
passed. Steps to effect this most desir-
able result were taken at the recent
meeting Of the state board Of educa-
ton in Helena, and the members of the
board seem determined that there
shall be no further delay. At the meet
ing Of the board the trustees who had
had charge of the construction of the
school rendered their designations,
their part of the work having been
completed. A new board of trustees
was appointed, the members of which
are eminently qualified to take up the
work intelligently and energetically
and start the school under such favor
able auspices that it will surely be-
come the success which Montana's
school of mines should be. The new
trustees are ]. E. Richards, James w.
Forbis, George E. Moulthrop, w. Y.
Pemberton and J. V. Long.
At the last session of the legislature
the sum of $685. 900 was appropriated for
the equipment Of the school. If this
amount can be made Immediately avail
able it should be sufficient to equip the
school partially. and perhaps to such
an extent that it can be opened in the
fall The trustees will have entire
charge Of the equipping of the school
and the selection of the faculty. The
branches taught will be chemistry,
metallurgy. mneralogy, geology, min
ing, mining engineering, mathematics,
mechanics and drawing. The state
board insists that the school must be
opened by September next.
There will be general satisfaction
that a good start at any rate has been
made towards the opening Of the
school. To the traveller approaching
Butte the splendid new building of the
School of Mines is the most conspicu-
Gus object. 1t is invariably the subject
| Of inquiry on the part of all visitors to
| Butte. Its possibilities are boundless
No more time should be lost in getting
| the school opened, and the people of
Montana are confident that the trus-
tees are possessed of the push, enter
| prise and ability which are required to
speed the day when Montana's School

China Claims Damages.

San Francisco, Dec. THE Chinese
and Portuguese governments, through
their local consuls, will join in a joint
claim against the United States and j.
r. Dunn, chief of the Chinese bureau,
for $4,000 as compensation for the
death Of Ho Nun, a native of Portugal
and subject of China. The complaint
will be filed to-day with Collector of
Customs jackson, and recites that Nun
died by reason of the negligent treat
ment Of the United States government,
through its agent, j. r. Dunn. The
case proceeds under the treaty of 1894,
based on the convention of 1880. Direct
charges against Dunn will be sent to
Collector Jackson and Secretary Gage.
Ho Nun was in this port, an applicant
for admission, when he was taken sick.
