ACCEPTING THE SITUATION.

It has been scientifically demonstrated
that under a pressure of 5000 pounds
to the square inch water can be forced
through cast iron 10 inches thick.
In the light Of this fact, no surprise
should be expressed because the pressure
Of the senatorial case forces the Ana
conda Standard to editorially regret that
the long-looked-for can does not
make greater Roadway in Undertaking..
1t is merely another scientific demon
stration, that is all.

"kink' in the political curriculum to in

prepared swath which was to be cut in

troll of the courts, and by controlling the
legislative assembly place some one in
the n chamber who might compel
certain prominent men to reimburse the
government to the extent Of some s13, 000,-
900 for timber illegally 'peculated" from
points of view. Mr.. Clark might prove
anything but a comfortable man to ave
in the senate. hence the legislature must
be wrested from the possibility of his
control.
: With the Daily men in u~ndisputed con-
troll of the legislature, and With Daily
mated Copper company would be like
Robinson Cruso. when he declared him
self monarch of all he surveyed! The man
who dared raise his hand against any out
rage which might be filtered through the
Legislature or the courts in behalf of the
Daily democracy would find himself a.
lie alone in the shadows of obscurity or
beyond the limits of the state he loved. 1t
lies with the patriotic republicans Of this
state whether the ambitions of these poll
teal bandits shall be realized at the ex-
pense of the manhood of this common
wealth. A graver danger never threaten
ed any state than the work which is now
going on throughout Montana under the
auspices Of the Amalgamated Copper
trust. It's tentacles in the shape of Daily
strikers are reaching out in all directions,
absorbing democrats, republicans, silver
republicans and populists-where liberal
salaries can influence or money buy
with the deadly aim Of absolute political
sovereignty in view. 1t is time for the re-
publicans of Montana to awaken to the
danger. before the rayages of the storm
make wreckage of the dearest hopes Of
the honest citizen.

ing of the silver plank in the Chicago
platform cannot be r%e-adopted at Kan
sas City, inasmuch as the falling
prices" which justified a direct free
coinage declaration in 1896. have been
displaced by the rising prices of to-
day. And the Bryan newspapers in the
east declare the Chicago platform was
based on conditions which do not exist
now, hence it's adoption would merely
imply that the democrats were right in
1896. in the curse then pursued by he
party, though a different course is de-
manded by the exigencies of the present
hour. Such is the attitude of the New
York Journal, the leading Bryan paper
in the east.
Who has even heard of a protest from
Mr.. Bryan against these modern "inter-
pretations' of the free coinage issue?
Like the tailor's wife who vas thrown
overheard for the repeated use of the
word Scissors drowning at last with
her fingers crossed in defiance of her
outraged husband, Mr.. Bryan defines his
attitude on the silver question, when
pinned down to the proposition, by say
ing, over and over again. he is in
favor of the Chicago platform! Perhaps
he tells the truth when he announces
his loyalty to the Chicago platform. but,
applied to existing conditions. h does
the Chicago platform mean? Which in
depreciation Of that document does the
boy orator of the Platte propose to ac-
cept? III the light of his anxiety to pla-
cate the gold wing of his party. and the
way silver has been unceremoniously
showed into the background in further
ance of that end, it is not hard for any
se~lf-respecting believer in free coinage
to measure Mr.. Bryan's fidelity to silver
at its true worth.

the senate chamber, and failing 10 i'm
press the junior senator with the duty
of resigning. our Warm Springs contem-
porary this morning comes out boldly
inc declares that the course of pro-
cedure followed does not deeply concern
the Montana public!
There is nothing like taking things
p~hilosophically. when they cannot be
helped, and inasmuch as the time does
not seem to be ripe for the Standard to
take a senatorial position philosophically,
1t ought at least to take it's disappoint-
ment in that shape.
In view of it's exceedingly long wait for
That vacant chair, and the heavenly
heiiotrope that tints the lambient at
mosphere Of it's editorial sanctum, il is
exceedingly gracious for the Standard to
this morning declare that the impend-
ing vacancy is. in short, the least of
M%ontana's troubles"
There is something truly sublime in
the way it defects public suspicion from
it's own ambitions, in the following SEN
tence:
The Standard believes that it has al
ready reflected prevailing public opinion
in saying that the matter of a senatorial
appointment by the governor is of text
to no interest to the bulk of the people
Of Montana.
This being true, it logically follows, OF
course, that it is likewise of no interest
to the bulk of the Anaconda Stand
ards office.
In fact. it may be regarded as def
nitely settled that the Standard will take
no further interest in a gubernatorial
appointment to the Clark ~acancy-pro
vided Mr.. Clark does not resign.

rs BRyAN NISREPRESENTED

In order to maintain the pretense that
the democratic party is still the cham
pion and friend of the poor man, such
unprecedented trust organs as the Ana
conda Standard still insist that Mr..
Bryan is faithful to the interests of sill
Yer. The claim is u~nblushingly made
that he stands on the silver question pre-
cisely where he stood in 1895, and that
his candidacy will represent a renewal
of the contest for practical bimetallism
then made.
1t is "a singular fact, however. that in
trying to impress Mr.. Bryan's fidelity to
free coinage upon the people, the demo-
cratic press studiously avoid any ex-
PLANTATION of the political course which
that gentleman has pursued since his de-
feat in 1896. 1t is as true of presidential
aspirants as of the common herd that
conduct rather han profession is the
true measure of the man.
During the last presidential campaign
Mr.. Bryan solemnly pledged his persist
ent efforts and his sacred honor to the
pelpetuity of the cause of free coinage,
as then advocated and understood. He
declared, over n over again, that it
would remain the paramount issue until
settled and settled right, and it was the
voicing of such sentiments that brought
to his support the silver elements in po-
litical organizations other than his own.
Mr.. Bryan was avoWedly beaten by the
gold wing of the democratic party, and
he owed to that faction an undying hos
tility while free coinage remained an
issue before he American public. He
should have looked Upon the republican
party as his natural enemy, which fought
him frankly and freely in the open, but
he could consistently regard the gold
contingent in his own party in no other
light than as the destroyer of his party
and it's b%ilnetallic hopes.
Yet the roar of political artillery in the
contest of 1896 had scarcely ceased to
vibrate upon the ear-drums of the public
before Mr.. Bryan found himself making
overtures of peace to the democrats who
mad stabbed silver to the death in the
house of it's friends. 1t was not a case
wherein "erring brothers. were to be
coaxed from the evil associations of the
past, but an instance in which the de-
stroying angels of the democracy were
to be rewarded with concessions which
practically justified the course they had
pursued. Mr.. Bryan promptly brought
to the surface, as a peace-offering to the
late offenders, a proposition which in
stalled "anti-imperialism'' as the para
mount issue of the party, to take the
place of the paramount issue of 1896.
Having been displaced as the leading
