THE IMPERIAL Wedding.
GREAT REJOICING THROUGHOUT
JAPAN OVER 1T.

with great rejoicing throughout the en-
pre- mas been the imperial wedding which
was celebrated at the capital on the 10th
isS., NOT since the extraordinary display
OF japanese patriotism on the day of the
PRONUNCIATION of the constitution with per-
maps tha single exception of the return Of
the emperor after the victorious Chinese
campaign, has there been ouch mani
hesitation OF loyalty to the imperial house.
New Marriage Ceremony.
Inc ceremony itself. to which great sig.
hhcance is attached. as being complete
innovation upon the usual imperial Gus
toms, took place in the imperial sanctuary
at the palace. Clothed in the oId-tirue
ceremonial robes the prince led by the
grand master of ceremonies and followed
by chamberlain bearing the sacred
sword" the princess conducted by a mas
ter of ceremonies and supported by two
maids of honor. approached the imperial
shrines. made together an offering of ever
green branches. The prince recited the
marriage ritual and then both partook of
the sacred sake. At this moment the thir-
teen great warships anchored In the bay
fred the imperial salute of 1Ol guns.
This elaborate ceremonial is commented
upon by native press as OF great signif-
whole nation the sanctity Of the marriage
rite. The old custom Of the imperial house
required nothing but a public announce
ment that a certain lady had been gazetted
to the post of imperial consort.
Gain TO Public Morality.
II Is now universally recognized that by
the enormous influence Of imperial exam
pie, not only has the marriage rite been
made far more sacred than ever before, but
also an immense gain to the cause of pub
lie morality has been assured and the posi-
ton of women raised to a height never be-
fore known in an Oriental country.
Some of the Honors.
Among the many honors bestowed on the
occasion Of the imperial wedding, there
are two which will specially interest Amer
leans, the recipients being widely known
In the United States. One is the elevation
TO the peerege OF Keutaro Kaneko who
recently had the honor of being tho first
japanese to receive the degree OF Ill. d.
from Harvard university. He will now be
known as Baron Kaneko The other In
that bestowed upon the eminent educator.
Mr.. Fakuyama. the Thomas Arnold of
Japan. Venerated by the people a.moet
as another Gladstone, his wish to remain
commoner was respected by the emperor
in lieu of peerage bestowed upon him
a gift OF 5000 yen.
After Gold in Korea.
From Korea much activity IL reported
among Americans in the way of negotia-
tons for gold mine concessions There Is
also the usual rivalry between the various
foreign nations to gain influence at court
through the appointment of instructors and
experts in various lines.

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS.

The New York sun correspondent with
the Roosevelt party took this view of the
republican prospects in Montana:
But the republicans are not at all des-
Dental electors. ewing to the unprece-
denied prosperity of the state, together
with Gov. Roosevelt's effective expose of
the democratic scarecrows on imperial
ism and militarfsm and the ~undoubted
enthusiasm shown at his appearance in
the state. as we'll as the failure Of Bry-
ans prophecies made here in 1896, that
if Mckinley was elected the miners
would be working for virtually nothing,
if any were fortunate enough to secure
work, whereas more miners are employ
ed and at better wages thai ever before
in the history of the state an dthis with
out the free coinage of a single Sill
dollar at the ratio of 16 to l.. The wool
owe are also laughing in their
leeves at the prediction of Bryan that
they would lave to eat their sheep and
make the wool into clothing because Of
no market for their flocks, whereas wool
that sold for from six to sevent cents
under the only democratic administra-
ton since the war rose after Nc Kinley's
election to Is. II and eve 20 cents. All
these facts. the republican leaders say,
cannot fail to influence he intelligent
voters of the state. In fact, Senator
Carter is quite enthusiastic in the belief
as is also Gov. Roosevelt sAlce his visit.

tickets, carrying with them two United

They cared nothing about the consent of

in those days. There was no William j..
Bryan then to advocate treaties only
for the purpose of raising an issue to
help himself into office. Democrats
were then men of principle and patriot
ism. 1t was the opposition that was
averse to a policy of progress.
The reverse is true now; the demd-
Gratis are the contractionists and the rd-
%rubiicans the expansionists Every
democrat who read the story of early
day expansion must be ashamed Of, and

THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE.

The eight-hour plank in the republican
county platform is no idle promise.
The republican nominees for the legts-
lature are pledged in good faith to sup
port an eight-hour bill. flF
Let us assume also that the fusion
legislative tickle is also pledged in good
faith to support an eight-hour bill. 81"
This being true, the eight-hour propo-
sition win be supported by the Silver
Bow members, whether they be fusion
lists or republicans. In,
1t is not a question of the wishes or
interests of any corporation, and as far
as republicans are concerned the eight
hour plank was adopted Independently
of every consideration except that of
public opinion and soliciture for the
best interests of labor.
The local election, therefore, will turn
on other issues, on economy in the public
service, on the efficiency of the candi-
dates, on the records of the parties, on
state and national questions.
The matter of settling thcse issues is
in the hands of the people, not the heel
ers, but the taxpayers, the business men,
the laboring men and the conservative
patriotic, law-abiding men of all parties.

o ON FUSION.

Ho, you %fusionists! You men who III
good faith have combined and nominated
Hon. Joseph X. o for governor!
Do you know what ne thinks OF fusion ?
IL you know what he said of ~fusionists
two years ago?
The unbought and honest toilers who
may think fusion is a good thing and
hat Joseph X. Tool is likely to be their
friend if elected governor, ought to look
into the gentleman's record before voting
for him. The first essential quality of a
governor is consistency. Joe Toole has
none of it.
cratic convention two years ago Joseph
X. Toole made a speech. From the
Standards Helena correspondence we
extract the following partial account of
the meeting:
Helena, Sept. IA union of all the sill
yer forces against the common enemy
does not appear to have much favor with
the democrats of Lewis n Clarke
county, judging from the treatment that
S6AN AiAS WA O11N lodCS GLSN
corded a committee from a like conven-
tion of popu,ists who bore a resolution
inviting cooperation of the friends OF
the white metal. Scant courtesy was
shown the visiting committee. Their res
olution was laid on the table with as lit
tie ceremony as though it had been an
invitation rom he gold republicans to
fuse in the present campaign. The reso-
l,ltion simply suggested a union of the
friends Of the white metal in accordance
with the views OF Mr.. Bryan. Many in
the convention favored q discussion of
the project, but the majority swept them
off their feet and the ropulist committee
retired to report the result of it's visit.
Before this occurred the convention had
practically settled the fusion question so
far as Lewis and Clarke is concerned in
delegates to the Anaconda convention.
The battle had been fought and lost for
fusion.
j. X. Toole presented the report and
moved it's adoption.
Ex-Governor Toole, in support Of the
report, said that the proposed Of
selecting the delegates had always OH
tanned in democratic conventions in this
county until two years ago. he claimed
it would be fair in every respect. HE
DID NOT WANT TO SEE THE FRUITS
OF DEMOCRATIC LABOR THROWN
AWAY BY THE SELECTION OF DEL
EGATES FAVORABLE TO FUSION.
HE WAS AGAINST SUBMITTING TO
THE LEwD EMBRACES OF POLITI-
CAL MONGRELS AND PERMITTING
THE HISTORY OF THE MISSOULA
CONVENTION TO BE REPEATED.

ATTACKED.

The outrageous attack on Roosevelt ait
Victor, Colo. will elect the republican
national ticket.
1t indicates the kind of men Bryan is
educating in this country and should
alarm every true American voter.
Colorado is in disgrace. That state
can not expect the investment of a dol
lar of eastern money till every man in
that Victor mob is punished for riot.
The boys in khaki uniform, whose
record the democratic press belittles,
stood bravely by the New York COVER
nor, and the volunteers all over the
Union will applaud their action.
Some man should hoist a flag at Victor
as a lesson n a warning to lawless men
who oppose free speech and attack Amer
lean citizens and soldiers.
Colorado must go republican in order
to wipe out the stain.

SWALLOWED UP.

The republican party is once more
united and harmonious
The handful of men who, calling them
selves republicans. met some weeks ago
and sent a delegation to Helena which
was not seated, came home, dispersed
and lost their political identity and legal
existence. Later some of them might
have been seen at the fusion conference
and yesterday they met, ratified fusion,
put up a few candidates and disappeared
forever from the public gaze as a polit-
ton. To all practical purposes they have
become democrats, a part of the demo-
cratic machine. They have places on a
ticket which stands for Bryan and Stew
enson, anti-expansion and free trade.
They are democrats and will be so con
sidered' in the future. Their legal adj
visors evidently 50, consider them, as
they were not present at the %'conven-
ton" yesterday. 1t is too bad to see
men walking headlong into democratic
traps, n the Inter Mountain has only
sympathy for them.
Their self effacement and self-annihila-
ton has cleared the political atmos-
phere. The republican party can now
go ahead in good faith with bright hopes
and excellent prospects. The issues are
clearly defined, the tickets will soon all
be in the field and the ~tax-paying, prop
erty-holding, conservative, loyal Amer
lean citizens. whether they be miners or
milionaires, teamsters or bankers, will
do the rest.

HE IS STILL AT LARGE.

This is an English story, and, strange
as 1t may seem, it made a hit when It
was told at the Lambs club the other
day. It was perpetrated by Lawrence
DOrsay, the English actor. Several
memoirs of the club spun yarns Of du-
bious merit, when Mr.. D'Orsay, in his
peculiar way, began:
Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story"
One man present pulled out his watch,
and they all thought it was going to be
a serial. One or two started to go, but
the actor stopped them by his assurance
that the story wouldn't be very long.
There was a friend of mine in Lon
don," he said, who was an incessant
cigarette smoker. Finally he lost his
memory. Then he forgot to smoke cigar
cites, and he got well again"
MT. DOrsay effected his escape
through the assistance of friends who
knew him when he didn't tell such stories.

EDISON'S LATEST INVENTION.

that scheme for several years, and If he
has at last succeeded 1t will add to his
already unequaled came as a wizard"
Nevertheless the greatest wonder achlev-
ed by him was the monograph. 1t is uni
que among inventions because it is abso-
lutely original. Nobody before him had
ever dreamed of it. No Dean Swift or
Sir Thomas More. of old; no Jules Verne
or H. G. Wells, OF our own days. ever
conceived such a wild fancy as that OF
preserving and reproducing a thing so
unsubstantial and evanescent as speech,
until the young telegraph operator, with
no scientific training and not a single col
lege degree to his name, startled the
world with his miracle. His new inven-
ton is due and overdue, but 1t is sure to
come and make the Arabian Nights seem
more prosaic and commonplace than
ever.-The Pilot.

WAY DOWN IN LOUISIANA.

In Louisiana, If a creditor finds that
his debtor intends to leave the state and
stay away, he car, without further
bothering, get out an attachment and
seize whatever property the upnfortunat
may have.
A creditor, who was one of Col.
Proudfoot's clients, performed this
operation one morning and the debtor
was so hurt about it that he fell dead.
The debtors heirs went to law later nd
claimed the property on the grounds that
the death made the seizure invalid.
1.-The law in this case, gentlemen, is
very clear" said the colonel. when his
chance came. "1t says that if a man is
about to cav the state permanently his
property may be seized. If our late la
mented friend was mo- about to leave
the state permanently, I never want to
handl another case"
