vide for itself a leading issue from among
the numerous questions that AVE a bear
ing on the we'll being OF the nation.
In line with this idea the national com
mittee of the democratic party recently
held a conference in St. Louis. in which
the silver leaders who named the para
mount issue for that party in 1896 took
part. After due deiiberation it was de-
cided that the antitrust cry. instead of
free coinage. should be the leading propo-
sition to which the democracy would ad-
dress itself in 1900. 1t was named as the
paramount issue, and all other questions
covered by the platform must necessarily
fall into subordinate positions as being
of secondary Importance to he main
issue.
With free coinage thus forced into the
BACKGROUND by the so-caiied silver demo-
Gratis themselves, in order to pacify the
eastern wing of the party. 1t requires a
amount of political assurance
fer members Of that organization in
Montana to c~riticise silver republicans
and ~populists for refusing to longer play
in their back yard.

1t is undeniable that foreign diplomats
in Washington frequently find themselves
at a loss, owing to the novelties present.
ed to them by American customs. Even
the language offers difficulties.
Only the other day the Guatemalan
minister was speaking to some Washing
ton women of what he regarded as a re-
markable social experience met with here
at the capital. He had been invited to
afternoon reception.
And do you know" he said, the host
ess received the guests in a nightgown!'
Good ~heavens!" replied the women to
whom this information was addressed.
surely You are joking, Mr.. Minister"
Not at all, I assure you," reiterated
the diplomat. 1T was in her night dress
that we We're rcceived-low neck and
bare rms!
ooh. you mean evening dress. do you
not, Mr.. Minister" suggested one of the
women
Yes, that is what I mean," admitted
Senior Arriaga: "low neck and bare
arms, just like the costume for the opera
or ball"
AS may be imagined the laugh was at
the minister's expense. In Washington
women quite commonly wear evening
dress when giving afternoon receptions.

THE QUESTION or SINCERITY.

The Great Falls Tribune. which is per-
fectly willing to displaee silver with an
other paramount issue, criticises the
Inter Mountain for refusing to be a party
to such perfidy in the treatment of a
great question. 1t says:
Once upon a time, and that not very
long ago. the Butte Inter Mountain
was enthusiastic in it's praise Of William
J. Bryan. All that he said and ala was
Supremacy good. Then a change came
over the spirit of its dream. and whl!e
it still admired Bryan it was cocksure
that he would never be nominated again
on the democratic ticket. He was too
good Il man. and the democrats would
repudiate him. Now Bryan is the recog-
nized leader of the democratic party ana
its candidate in 1900, and the Inter Noun
tain finds fault with every speech II G
makes and tries to belittle him as mucA
as possible. Bryan hasn't changed since
1896, but the Inter Mountain has. Its
course has justified Charlie Hartman's
suspicious as To the sincerity of the silver
sentiments of Hon. Lee Mantle.
The Inter Mountain never reached the
theological level of hero worship, and
has never ascrihed to any man the i'm
maculate power of doing n saying only
that which is "supremely good Hero
worship. with a periodical change of
heroes-from Cleveland to Bryan. for in
stance-is a democratic habit seldom
initiated by members of other political
organizations Who prefer to make merit
the measure of the man.
This paper accorded to Mr.. Bryan his
full measure of credit as an exponent Of
the silver cause, for he repeatedly de-
clared that it was the paramount ISSUE
the one question to which all others of u
public character should be subordinated-
| and that it would remain the paramount
issue until settled and settled right. A
few months later, to the astonishment
and regret of his friends. Mr.. Bryan re-
signed a responsible post in the army.
not for the purpose of keeping the silver
question to the front. but for the purpose
OF displacing it as the leading issue with
the fictitious cry of anti-imperialism.
When the wealth of loyalty in the Ameri-
can heart made it impracticable for the
democracy to commit political suicide
! with a dominant issue of that character.
Mr.. Bryan changed his tactics-not by
declaring that silver should resume the
place it occupied in the councils of the
democracy in 1896, but by subscribing to
the proposition that anti-trusts should
be the slogan, thus RELOCATING the finan-
cial issue to the background as of minor
Importance. s
If the course pursued by Mr.. Bryan
was right in 1896 it is wrong in 1899; if
it is right now it was wrong in 1896,
when adjudged from he standpoint OF
the silver cause Sincerity Of purpose is
not measured by the extremes to which
hero worship may go, but by the consist
ency with which the true interests of q
public question may be served.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN METHODS.

The history of the famous Maybrick
case has been SO often repeated that it
is familiar to all American newspaper
readers. There are few intelligent
persons in this country who are not
fairly we'll posted on the details of
the affair that consigned the American
wife of a wealthy Englishman to life i'm
%prisonment. cor having murdered her
husband. Originally sentenced to death,
the sentence was committed, since which
her innocence. have spared nj effort to
secure her release. 1t has been repeated
ly shown that Mrs. Maybrick was con-
victed on evidence Of the most irrelevant
character, by a stupid court, n in de-
fiance Of every principle of equity and
justice.
The refusal of the English government
to reopen the case, Notwithstanding the
appeals of men high in authority in the
United States, is in marked contrast with
the courtesies extended by us. Through
British influences Secretary of State
Blaine interested himself in procuring a
pardon for Mr.. Rowan, convicted of muir
der in Butte and incarcerated at Deer
Lodge. 1t was not contended that Rowan
the case of Mrs. Maybrick, or that a new
trial would right a great wrong to one
unjustly punished, but his pardon was
asked for by men prominent in the affairs
of England. When Secretary of State
Blaine took the matter in hand, and laid
the appeal before the authorities of this
state, earnestly recommending a pardon,
Mr.. Rowan was released. Quite recently
Mr.. Brett, a forger doing ten years for a
self-confessed crime against the NUM-
cipality OF Helena. was pardoned by the
governor of Montana through the ap-
peals of prominent Englishmen who were
related to the convict.
It is not improbable that other states
furnish equally conspicuous examples of
American courtesy to Great Britain IN
such matters. Yet while this spirit of
liberality is shown IN this side Of the
water, and men whose guilt is not In
question are pardoned in Difference to
English pleas for mercy. on the other side
no attention has been paid. during all
these years Of earnest effort. to the re-
quests that Mrs. Maybrick be given an
opportunity to prove her innocence in q
