Worth Considering.

IF there were reason to believe that
practical results are to flow from
the work progressing at The Hague,
the people of the United States might
we'll feel concerned with reference to
the manner in which, in given instances,
arbitration is to be provided for.
Senator Stewart has made a sort of
protest that is well worth needing, if
the doings at The Hague are to be taken
seriously. His point is that on any
matter vitality affecting the interests of
this continent, the United States ought
never to consent to an arbitration in
which European representatives pre-
dominate. 1t might be well enough to
let European nations arbitrate Euro
pean questions. leaving American ma
tons to arbitrate disputes that may
arise on the American continent. But
that the principle of arbitration could
be easily extended so as to nullify the
Monroe doctrine in short order.
1t goes without saying that If the
United States goes in for arbitration
regardless Of the distinction thus sug-
gested, we are likely to get good dea!
the worst of it, so far as all our old time
Monroe-doctrine theories are involved
On the other hand, it seems quite inn
probable that the cars conference will
make the distinction which Senator
Stewards protest suggests. Really, the
only satisfactory consideration is the
one that leads the public to believe that
the meeting at The Hague will not
come to very much.

ers, but a change in ministry defeated
it.
Russell's government was defeated
on his reform bill which would have
added about 100000 new voters to the
list, and the conservatives came in
under Derby as prime minister.
Dlsrael had succeeded Derby, and in
1868 made an appeal to the country
on the motion of Mr.. Gladstone for the
disestablishment of the Irish church
and was defeated, Mr. Gladstone being
called to the premiership at the head
of the liberal party is his sixtieth year
Thus we see that Gladstone had
rachel the height of his ambition at
| the age of SO, with the brightest pros
poets OF asy minister of his time. Dur
ing the next five years he enjoyed the
height of his power and his influence
SO ruled parliament that he was virtu-
ally dictator But he carried his honors
with dignity asd discretion, was ac-
cessible to all and always gracious and
kind-hearted.
The first important act of the premier
was the disestablishment of the Irish
church. This caused dissolution of
the union between the churches of Eng
land and Ireland and prevented the
transfer of church freeholds by or to
non-residents. The Irish land bill, his
next important measure, was intro
duced in 1870.
he was CONSCIENTIOUS, unSelf1Sh and
always willing to aid the weak and op-
pressed. He was noted for the persist
ence with which he worked to carry
his measures through, and the close at
tention which he paid to all important
political actions. When once thorough
ly convinced of the right or wrong of a
subject nothing could change him, and
he Immediately set to work to advance
or defeat it, according to his convic-
tions. He was bred Tory but de-
veyoped into a liberal, a ropalist who
learned to hate despotism, a high
churchman and reformer on whom the
Argus of liberty found 1t necessary to
keep its hundreds of eyes wide open,
and a leader in oratory who could re-
turn to the people as a flood what he
received as a vapor.
After four years of retirement from
public life this statesman, who had
passed through a political career of
over 60 years without a stain, passed
away at the beginning of his S9th year,
loved and admired by the world, true
to his convictions, to his country and
humanity, and leaving behind him an
influence on the world which time will
never obliterate.

About Loyalty.

~ ERHAPS it is hardly worth while
~ to waste space or time in dealing
with the question of loyalty"
and patriotism" as involved in the
support or non-support of President
McKinley's Philippine policy. We had
supposed that in a free country the for
eign policy of an administration in
power was always open to fair discus
sion and criticism. If the right so to
critcise and discuss can be arbitrarily
cut off by the precipitation of war,
however unjust the war may be, then
we have mistaken the spirit of Ameri-
can institutions and the privilege of
free speech, as guaranteed by the con-
stitution.
If We have read history Alright, dur
ing our revolutionary war there was a
strong party in England opposed to the
coercive policy of Lord North's govern
ment. We very much regret to learn
from our American imperialists that
when Lord Chatham and Edmund
Burke We're so eloquently pleading the
cause of America, they were traitors to
their own country.
Then, too, if our memory be not at
fault, it was English opposition to the
American war that finally hurled Lord
North's ministry from power. 1t may
be pertinent for US to inquire whether
Edmund Burke was still traitor. We
may also be excused for suggesting
that if the war in the Philippines
should last as long as the revolutionary
struggle did, it is quite possible that the
imperialistic party in American may
very easily find itself in a minority. If
so, will those who now object to that
war still be traitors?
But how, we would like to ask, could
the war party in England or how could
a war party in the United States ever
be driven from power if it could deny
to it's opponents the right to criticise
and show wherein 1t was wrong. One
would suppose, from the talk of the ex-
pansionists, that none but democratic
copperheads'' were presuming to ques-
ton the wisdom of Mr.. ,McKinley's for
eign policy. Our recollection, though,
is that Senators Hoar, Hale and Mason,

of that pure andSgogiy faith are doing

err in SO doing: $500
We all know that the country is full
of men who wore the blue and fought
all through the civil war in defense of
national integrity, who now venture to
believe and dare to say that the Filipino
policy of the administration has been
unwise and unjust from the beginning
to the present time. These men are not
likely to be silenced by the patriotic
| rhodomontade of men, who while the
civil war was on, We're either in short
clothes or who then were at safe dis
lance from the field of battle-just as
| they are now.

Sold to Germany.

~ EXPANSION has prophets in this
country whose ambition to
plant the stars and stripes on
everything in sight is so consuming
that they cannot be consoled because
Germany has managed to get hold of
territory in the Ladrone group.
These islands We're Spain's. The group
includes several hundred islands with
an area. all told, about half of that of
Porto Rico and with about fifty thou
sand Inhabitants. They are scattered
over an area which in width is about
the equivalent of the distance from Mis-
soula to st. Paul.
The German government has paid to
Spain a round price for these islands,
and thus Spain ceases to be a land
owner in the Pacific region The fact is
that by this purchase long contest
involving Spain and Germany is ended
Originally the Ladrones We're Spains
by right of discovery but they were
left entirely. neglected by the govern
ment at Madrid. Nearly fifty years ago.
American missionaries found field for
their work on these islands, and, a few
years later, English and German traders
began operations there
In 1885 Germany concluded to take
the group, England quietly consenting
to the seizure. Spain made bluff at
defending them, with the outcome that
the dispute over their possession was
referred for arbitration to the pope. The
result was a decision in Spain's favor
and the Islands now pass to Germany
as the result Of purchase price.

A Crafty Policy.

q ENATOR ALLISON'S recent ut
- terances with reference to the
>~ probable character of the cur
rency legislation to be enacted at the
next session of congress, are peculiar
ly "Allisonian." He says in effect, that
there will be nothing radical done, and
that there is no pressing necessity for
anything of the kind. He tells US
that the presidents recommendations
are worthy of consideration and that
he would not be surprised to see them
adopted That is polite, but not very
definite. Mr.. Allison also declares that
we want TO maintain our standard,
and at the same time give the country
a safe and flexible currency" That
has a very familiar sound We feel
certain Of having heard it before, but
we are equally certain that we never
learned exactly what it means
On the subject of our silver certih-
Gates Senator Allison is both profound
and clear-aS clear as mud He SAYS
that we have about $3.50, 100000 of them,
as good as gold, and that there is not

ability to sustain them whether we
iegislate or not; but, he sagely adds,
there are suggestions that we ought
to make their values certain. Now
we know all about it. Upon the cur
rency question Mr.. Allison was never
known to take a pronounced position.
He has alweys talked bimetallism in
a vague sort of a way, but his votes
have just as regularly been against it.
Yet at this time he is probably
somewhere near right The republic
cans will not give the so-caIled cur
rency reformers quite all that they de-
sire, but they will go about as far
as they deem it safe to go, leaving
themselves IN position to appeal both
to the money power" and to the peo-
pie FOR support. To the former they
will say See what we have done for
you in the face of democratic opposi-
ton. Stand by US and step by step
you will get all you want" To the
people these republican managers will
say: See how coura geously we OPP
posed the great money power of Wall
street. The demand was made for the
retirement of the greenbacks and we
bravely refused to yield. The green
backs are republican money. They
saved the Union. Catch US yielding
to the demand of a lot of Shylocks for
their destruction. Never-perish the
thought; we are the friends of the

people always. To be sure we have
declared solidly for the gold standard,
but we already had that standard, in
fact, and the declaration amounted to
nothing anyway And SO the game
will go on, just as it has gone on for
the last twenty years.

DIR. Craig's Address.

President Craig followed. He was in
PRODUCED by Mr.. Tuttle. Mr.. Craig be-
gan his address by congratulating the
class, the superintendent, the teachers
of the high school and the good people
of Anaconda, to whom is due the great
est credit for the generous support of
the public schools. All ideas of educa-
ton, said Mr. Craig, depend on two
questions: What is life and what is
death? Life Is but the preparation for
and death is but the entrance into a
richer, fuller, sweeter state. That edu-
cation which best fits one for this life
is likewise best for the other.
That education is best which fits US
for this life. Man is composed of differ
ent elements-moral, physical, intellec-
tual. The education is best which trains
them all. Heretofore education was
largely given to the training of one of
these, but of recent years attention has
been called to the necessity of training
them all.
1t requires time to gain an education.
Many pupils find school years tedious
and hope for their speedy ending. But
an education cannot be acquired in q
short period. 1t takes time to grow a
sturdy oak, likewise it takes time to
grow sturdy mind.
Education is generally divided into
three classes-the primary, the second
airy and the higher. It is the secondary
division which has just been passed by
this graduating class. The diplomas
which the graduates receive admit them
to the Montana State university or any
other institution of higher learning in
the state. The speaker advised the
class that if such a course is possible
to attend higher school.
The world needs men and women,
said the speaker. It Is often said that
the professions are crowded. That Is
true Of their lower rounds, but it is
equally true that there is room at the
top, and the world is calling for those
who have the ability to fill these places.
There are milestones and turning
points in this life, said DR.. Craig. There
are events which occur many times and
events which occur but once. This is an
event of the latter kind. The graduates
may forget the names of their teachers,
of their text books, or the appearance
of the school room, but so long as they
live they will never forget this night
in the opera house.
knowledge is not power, said DR..
Craig, only in the application of knowl-
edge is there power. Let me whisper
a secret in your ear-if you want a
position, or if you have one and want
to hold it, do your work just little
bit better than anyone else can"
The speaker concluded by saying that
ones usefulness in the world is judged
by what one does in the world for So
ciety.
Mr.. futile then. in a few remarks of
congratulation, presented the diplomas,
after which the assemblage adjourned.

I" The Cars Peace Proposals U1ric
Trisberger.

Ir1SDerSer.
When the chief of one of the greatest
powers in the world makes a PROPOSE
ton for universal disarmament, this
proposition is worthy of our most earn
est consideration. The czar of Russia
has suggested that all nations lay down
their arms and settle their disputes in
some other manner. Some doubt the
earnestness of the cars intentions, but
nevertheless the idea is a good one and
Demands more than momentary notice.
The motives of the cZar's proposal may
be suspected with proprietry, yet the
cZar can do more for peace than any
potentate on earth 1t is not surpris-
ing that Russian statesmen, with the
possibilities of peaceful development so
great, hampered by no necessity for
pandering to the clamor of the moment,
in order to keep themselves in office,
should have determined that Russia
would gain enormously in the race with
other industrial nations by devoting her
whole energies to economic develop
ment. Hence the proposition of the car
that the world lay aside its arms and
give its people an opportunity to de-
vote themselves to industrial pursuits
looks directly to the future dominance
of Russia in the commerce and finance
of the world The car might
make a new map of his enormous do
minions, including Manchuria, itself
large enough, fertile enough, rich and
prosperous enough to form little king
dom. And, map in hand, he might pro
claim that in return for pledge of non
interference with any part of his pos

shape. he would bind himself in similar
engagements to all the world, seeking
no extension of territory or dominion
for 20 years.
Nothing that he could invent would
