~~HERE is no telling how large the
total now is Of women in this
country who have signed let
ter addressed to the car and assuring
him that this country's women are cor
daily with him in a proposition to dis
arm the soldiers of the world. Some
time ago it was reported that Mrs. May
900 women attached to the letter, ana
there were more coming.
We suppose it is true that If Mrs. Sew
ell had sought mems signatures, she
would have obtained a muster roll of
males not smaller than the one she
made up with women's names. Every
body who is civilized is for peace; no
man or woman is for war, as an alb
stract proposition. Whether any of us,
or practically all of us, would be for
given war, depends on the circum-
stances of the particular case in ques-
ton.
Last year, somehow, the people of the
United States were for the war with
Spain-that was plain to see. 1t was
war that could have been avoided. 1t
was a conflict that was slow in bring
ing itself to a crisis-so slow that the
people of the United States lost their
patience and gradually reached the con-
vistion that what the arrogant and in
| dolent dons needed was a good thrash
| ing. Those at the executive head of our
| government advanced very cautiously
| toward the crisis that finally was
| brought on. In fact, they were pushed
by the people, and the impulse that
| finally brought on the fighting came, di-
rect, from the body of citizens. In this
| instance, the influence of American
women was felt: it was an influence in
| favor of war; if it hadn't been, there
would have been no war with Spain
you may be sure of that.
In the same way, the influence Of
woman's sentiment has it's direct influ
| ence in shaping American public opin
ion in respect to the congress soon tt
begin it's work at The Hague. Tht
Standard does not think that an perma
nent peace tribunal is the logical out
come of this congress, or that it would
be we'll for the world We're such tri
bunal instituted, along the lines pro
iected by the car Nevertheless, where
in this Hague congress makes for peace
it has merit and it is sure to find ap
prevail with the women and the men 0

Going Out of View.

~ S far as the Standard has been
able to discover the recent an
! nouncement of ex-senator Man
tie respecting the future intentions of
the so-called silver republicans does not
come to the public in this part of the
world as news or as a. remark that at
tracts attention. What Mr.. Mantle said
appeared in Washington Post inter
view; 1t was wired from the Standards
Washington office and printed in Sun
days edition. The essential sentence in
this interview is that in the West there
VIII be no alliance of silver republicans
with democrats.
The record is that for long time, as
far as Montana is concerned, there has
been no alliance between these two eIe-
ments. In 1896, almost everybody turn
ed in for Bryan; the fusion included
democrats, populists, silver republicans.
Last year the democrats went it alone
The election showed that there had
been almost sinking out of sight of
populists and silver republicans. Mr..
Nantes silver-republican organization
| he holding the office of senator at the
| time. polled about six per cent of the
| vote cast in Silver Bow county. That is
the silver stronghold; that county poll
| ed about twenty-five per cent. of Mon
| tana's total vote. AS the result of last
| years general election, there We're four
| so-caled silver republicans in the recent
| session of the Montana legislature. Our
memory is that, for little while, three
! of them voted for Hartman and one for
Mantle. Clark captured the quartette
| pretty promptly. This year, in the city
| Of Butte. the regular gold-republcan
ticket had the full support of Mr. Man
! ties influence.
! Our impression is that there is still in
| existence in Montana a silyer-republi-
! can organization of certain sort, but it
| is accepted as matter of course, in
| MOntanas political circles, that silver
republicanism will be no more heard of
| in this states campaigning. What
| newspaper support the silver-republican
| organization had in most of the west
| ern states, a couple of years ago, now
| finds itself in alliance with those who
are the supporters of the Mckinley adj
| ministration. 1t is an open book now
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-05-17

that the Mckinley regulars are all
through with even so much as any pro-
LESSONS of friendliness for silver; they
announce themselves for gold, and they
are proposing to pass, at the coming
session of congress, legislation that will
settle this countrys finances on the
gold basis. So that the name republic
can is really a misnomer when hyphen-
ed after the word silver, and it is in the
natural order of things that silver re-
publicanism should have passed out as
it has, there being in this country's
politics no status that makes 1T pos
sible for man to be republican and
also to be for silver.

Anaconda Typographical Union Voices
Its Sentiment


Its Sentiment.
-, A special meeting of the Anaconda
Typographical union took place last
evening. Almost full attendance was
present The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, General Merriam, U. s.
A., by virtue of the declaration Of mar
tial law, is supreme in control of the
Occur d'Alene country, in the state of
Idaho, and has issued the following
pronuncamento:
LAT the same time, since the trouble
largely originates in hostile organiza-
tons known as labor unions, I should
suggest law making the formation
of such unions or kindred societies
crime
And whereas, General Merriam, as
suming that his wish is law, is acting
in accord herewith imprisoning citi-
zens and Furnishing them before con-
viction, after the manner of the Span
ish 'incommunicado' in Cuba; and
Whereas, General Merriam has ex-
tended his jurisdiction to the state of
Montana, seizing citizens and removing
them to the Idaho prison without any
process of law whatever and without
any regard for the duly qualified au-
thorities of this state.
Whereas, Governor Smith of Mon
tana, unsolicited, FASTENED to assure
General Merriam's representative of
his approval in his work of Selling citi-
| zens and removing them from this
state. which act of approval was not
asked for by General Merriam or even
acknowledged; therefore be it
Resolved, That Anaconda Typo
| graphical union NO. 255, being opposed
to lawless acts and in favor of thei,
punishment by due process of law, de-
nounces the actions of General Mer-
riam and Governor Smith; and
Resolved. That this union join with
the Central Federation of Trades OF
| New York city in asking President Nc
Kinley and Secretary of War Alger il
they approve of General Merriam:
course and utterances; and
Resolved, That this union reques
all labor organizations in the state O

!" likely TO accomplish some
thing, the Butte Miner keeps
on giving advice" to Mayor Mccarthy.
That is to say, the Miner calls it's words
advice-they are, in fact, threats which
would be sinister if Mayor Mccarthy
had any reason in the world to heed
them or to fear them
Mr.. Mccarthy has been through this
mill In campaign days the Miner ad-
vised him, adding to its advice the
ridiculous threat that if Mccarthy
didn't heed it the Miner would defeat
him. Mayor Mccarthy paid no heed
at all to this silly blustsr, and he was
elected just the same.
The mayor was elected as a demo-
crat.' For his official conduct he is ac-
countable to the citizens of Butte. He
was vainly opposed by the Miner, and
we can believe that. as he grows older
he is less and less disposed to pay any
heed whatever to the Miner, which is
mortally afraid that one of the city APP
pontments will go to a man who, in
the legislature, did not sell out to w. A
Clark.

Something for Dewey.

ROM patriotic patron the STAN
r. dard has a note suggesting that
the Standard start the ball a
rolling for Montana's snare in the
Dewey fund. This is an affair in which
all the people are interested and one in
which the citizens of Montana will, of
course, want to have their share. 1t is
accepted as matter OF course that the
Standard will take the lead in gather
ing together this states contributions;
that is an arrangement to which the
public in these parts is accustomed.
And the Standard is ready and willing
to strike out at once If 1t appears from
public expressions that things are ripe
for it.
There are considerations, however
that have been receiving this newspa-
per's attention. To begin WITH the
likelihood is that one of the tributes to
Dewey will take the shape of a popular
contribution of money, That is proper.
Even if there We're no presidents, it
would be befitting-and there are good
precedents. Respecting rank, every
mas been done for Dewey; congress re-
yived for bestowal upon him the rank
of admiral, which had lapsed on the
death OF Farragut's successor this
rank carrying with it emoluments that
are substantial.
After the close of our civil war, pub
lie gratitude found expression in gifts
to eenspicuously successful men among
our generals these experimenting what
congress, within its province, was able
to do. In fact, this form of testimonial
is Pct limited to American experience.
Bismarck was the recipient of magnlti-
cent estates, in recognition of services
rendered in the founding of the Ger
man empire. More akin to Dewey's
case is that OF Wellington. The Brit
ish nation recognized his services when
