Goebel wants the vote of the city of

that the militia ordered out by Cover

the voters. Failing-to throw out Louis

his sleeve. Under the Goebel election

and once again is the truth brought
home to us that among nations as
among individuals blood is thicker
than water"
That is to say, the American people
win kindly disregard the merits of the
war and drink health to old England
on account of blood relationship. In
1776 in 1872 and during the career of
the Alabama in the civil war, blood
was considerably thinner than water,
but possibly there is new blood In
these latter days. AT any rate, Eng
land politely requests the American
people to pass the hat for your cred
it's sake, and pay-pay-pay." An
American hospital ship for the British
wounded is a result of Anglomania, to
which there can be no reasonable OBJ
jections But what will England say
if other Americans fit out a ship of
hospital and food supplies for the
wounded Beers?

If the rose touched Senator Thurs

rHAT the American colony in
London is heartily in sympathy
with the British side of the case
was illustrated at the American "func-
aion'' in London last Saturday, when
600 more was raised for the liospi-
tai ship Maine. "A more charming and
successful gathering" says the asso-
ciated press report, has seldom been
witnessed at any social function in
London" Among those present were the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of CAM

galaxy alone brilliant enough to make
any function huge success. Tod

~ NE is left to infer that the testi-
~ mony given by Mr.. John R.
Toole, near the close of the Well
come trial, is not altogether to the Xix
ing of Mr. w. A. Clark's Butte Miner
AS to the merit OF that testimony the
newspapers have no call to express an
opinion; what Mr.. Toole said has gone
with all the rest of the evidence, to the
members of the supreme court. 1t is
for that tribunal to pass upon it.
Meanwhile, what the Miner said, a
morning or two ago, may properly be
quoted: that newspaper said: The
delicacy of the states attorney general
in dealing with witnesses on behalf of
the Anaconda company's political de-
partment is only equalled by his lack

nation is also of the delicacy described
by the Miner, does not appear from any
comment Mr.. Clark's newspaper thus
far has made. So far as we know, Mr.
Toole himself has not complained; and
whether any newspaper is pleased or
disp1eased with the direct or the cross
examination of Mr.. Toole, OF of any

Teller and Imperialism.

q EVERAL of the Standards Nc.
90 Kinley exchanges have recently
remarked. with 1udicrous show
of alleged wisdom, that Senator Tel
Ter is silver man, but he cannot swal-
low the anti-expansion policy of the
democratic party"
When professed "silver republican,
newspapers that are using imperialism
as an excuse to slip back into the re-
publican fold, cite Senator Teller upon
any point connected with the political
situation, they presume very largely
upon the ignorance of the people OF
Montana. @m"
We have vet to hear of the Colorado
senator calling Mr.. Bryan, or any one
who thinks as Bryan does, copper
head or a traitor" So far from it,
Mr.. Teller Is to-day in the closest pos
sible touch with Bryan and is one Of
the Nebraskan's most earnest sup
porters.
There is, in truth, very little differ
ence in principle between Mr. Bryan
and Mr.. Teller on the Philippine ques-
ton. Bryan insists that the Filipinos
should be given the assurance that the
United States has no intention of sub
jugating them, but rather of treating
them just as we have solemnly prom

Teller is ready to concede. Wait until

regular army to a hundred thousand

see how much of an 'imperiqlist' Teller
will prove himself to be.
But more important still, Whatever
shades Of difference there may be be-
tween Teller and any of his democratic
allies on some questions, and no mat
ter what local squabbles there may be
in Colorado, Henry NJ. Teller is not
singing the praises, of Mckinley and
burying the silver issue out of sight
under a. cloak of pretended patriotism.
He makes silver the paramount issue"
in fact, not merely as a matter Of lip
service and to deceive somebody.
When the campaign of 1900 opens, Mr..
Teller will be found hand in hand with
Bryan and James K. Jones and Charles
A. Towne fighting valiantly in silver's
cause. What will some of its professed
champions in this state be doing?
